He rocked a very restless Destrian in his arms as he paced the room furiously. The news had reached him a few minutes ago. It had taken him all his self-control to stop himself from rushing to Hogwarts and doing something reckless. Had Harry known that this was going to be happen? Was he alright? He didn't want to imagine all the horrendous things Grindelwald could do to him but they still made it to his mind and caused him to pace faster. Destrian started to wail and he had to stop,
"I am truly sorry, baby."
Destrian stopped wailing and peered up at him with those innocent crimson eyes. He sat down and pulled him close to his chest,
"Do not fret. I shall bring Harry back no matter what it takes."
He closed his eyes. He was going to bring Harry back. Destrian needed his father and he…he needed him…his spouse…But Destrian's safety came first in whatever plan he came up with. He leaned back against the headboard and rocked Destrian to sleep. Harry could be hurt right now…he could be in pain and something about that made his insides squirm and tormented his soul. All the tortures that he had inflicted on Harry swam in front of his vision and he shuddered with self-loathing. He had save him. He had to save Harry no matter what.
Harry hadn't slept a wink. He had stared at the ceiling all night, memorized all its cracks and faults and thought about what was going to happen to him. He had missed Destrian heartbreakingly way too much and had yearned to have him in his arms, close to his chest. But he had supressed it all. Missing Destrian would not get him anywhere. The cell door opened with a rusty creak but Harry kept his gaze focused on the ceiling. Harry felt Grindelwald sit down on the bed and finally moved his gaze away from the ceiling. He wasn't feeling afraid. Infact he wasn't feeling anything at the moment. Grindelwald had a wide grin plastered on his face and spoke,
"You didn't sleep, did you?"
Harry sat up straight and shook his head silently. What was the point in lying? Grindelwald leaned forward and cupped his cheek. It took all his self-restraint not to flinch away from the touch,
"You don't talk too much. If I didn't know any better, I'd think that you were defying me and I would punish you for it. But my follower informs me that you are rather quiet and reserved."
That was another thing Harry had thought a lot on. Grindewald's loyal follower,
"What else has your follower told you about me?"
Grindelwald's smirk grew,
"He has nothing but nice things to say about you."
Harry managed a smile,
"How kind of him."
Grindelwald laughed and grabbed his hair,
"Yes, he's very kind indeed. I have given him my word that I shall not harm your pretty face or your flawless body since he so desires them. But there are other ways I can hurt you."
Harry's eyes watered as Grindelwald yanked roughly and Harry felt a few strands part from his scalp. He kept his hands at his sides. Trying to resist would only prolong this. Grindelwald released his hair and wiped away the water from his eyes,
"I am not a cruel man, Harry. If we had met under normal circumstances, I might have even liked you but you…you are bonded to the man that took away my love and that is unforgivable. He will burn in the fire that is scorching me every day when he sees the torments I inflict upon you."
Harry remained silent and Grindelwald snapped his fingers. A silver ring encrusted with sapphires and aquamarines appeared in his hand and he grabbed his hand. Harry tried to yank it out of his grip when he realized what Grindelwald was about to do but Grindelwald merely laughed and spoke,
"I'm not marrying you, Harry. The bond that you share with your lover cannot be severed or overthrown. This is merely for appearances and it shall help me keep you in line while in public."
Harry knew his confusion was evident on his face. Grindelwald merely smirked,
"You will see."
He slipped the ring on his finger and as it adjusted, it hid the burn mark from view completely. Pain seared through his body better than a branding iron, his mind conceded to the torment, unable to bring a thought to completion. Without meaning to his body curled into something fetal, something primeval and all the while the pain burned and radiated. He was distantly aware of his own screams and Grindelwald's vice like hold on his hand.
Harry had no idea how long the pain lasted, how long he screamed but when the pain subsided and Harry was able to focus on his surroundings a bit, he realized that Grindelwald was still holding his hand and he was curled up on the bed. It took him all his strength to raise himself back into a sitting position. Grindelwald stroked the back of his hand with his thumb and Harry shuddered,
"This is not a wedding ring but the world will believe that it is…It is your job to make them believe."
Harry was still feeling a bit rattled from the pain and spoke,
"I don't understand."
Grindelwald released his hand,
"You are going to act as my consort at the ministry today and in the days to come. If you do not then I shall ensure that each and every person you care about shall pay for it."
Harry stared at the ring on the finger, at the scintillating jewels…No wasn't an option and there was no point in resisting because it was going to be meaningless. Harry hoped that Sirius and the others are gone into hiding like David and Destrian. But what if they hadn't? He'd had enough practice playing the happily married couple with Voldemort and if that role was going to save everyone he cared about then he would play it again,
"Okay."
Puzzlement clouded Grindelwald's face,
"I expected more forbearance from you. In fact, I was looking forwards to breaking you."
Harry smiled sadly,
"You can't break someone that's already broken."
