Disklamer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Marriage

Chapter 1 To the ministry

Harry stood at the door to the Magic department. He had no idea of why he was there.

Flashback

He was reading his assigned homework and wrote furiously. He had worked till now in the house with cleaning, making food and felt like a housewife. The doorbell rang and he heard his uncle open the door. Shortly after he heard "Boy, get down here!" He went down and saw Percy Weasley. "Your presence is requested at the ministry, please go and pack your things as you will not return, Mr Potter". Harry gave him a questioning look before he went upstairs and did as told. Around twenty minutes later he went down and Percy took his things before he went inside a waiting car. He looked at Percy who talked a while with his uncle whom seemed to become relieved. Then he came and found a seat beside Harry. Percy refused to say anything of the reason he had to go to the ministry and harry soon gave up and sat the rest of the trip in silence.

End Flashback

So here he was, nearly 16 years and had all his belongings in his trunk, and most of it was either school things or hand-me-down things. Harry had changed to one of the school robber in the car, not wanting to look idiotic in huge clothes. Even if he was small for his age, he did not want to make it worse with using to big clothes.

He was led into a room deep into a building and Percy left him. He saw Draco Malfoy, of all people. Who stood waiting at the other side of the room. He looked as confused as Harry felt and also had a trunk beside him. They had never been friends and Harry had declined his friendship when he had spoken badly of his new (and first) friends.

In the middle of the nearly empty dark room stood a strange looking stone, if it was a stone at all. Harry had never seen or heard about anything like it and it seemed to be alive somehow. It glowed and seemed to have a beautiful Blue shimmering light around itself.

It felt the two youths, one dark, the other light. One of them had a great worry and always hided his true feelings with a cold sneer. The other on the other hand was an orphan and had not long ago lost one he loved dearly. It felt the beginning of a depression and also felt dark feelings begin to grow within him. No one seemed to really understand or know him and he lived in two worlds. In one of them he was hated and was punished for thing he had never done, while in the other he was the great hero and was supposed to save everyone. The other could help him heal when he realised his true feelings, which he believed to be hate and dislike. It could not help all its children but those two he would as both of them were important. The stone felt them once more and decided what to do.

A voice shattered the silence, "Go and stand in front of the stone and lay your hands on top of each other". Harry looked confused around the room and lastly at Malfoy but neither of them saw the speaker. Then they did as told and Malfoy placed his hand on top of Harry's.

Severus Snape stood in a room which allowed him to see the room with the Wizarding stone, while it could not affect him in any way. No one knew what it really was and every one who went inside that room came unchanged back. It was therefore he was slightly worried for his beloved spoilt godson. The other boy was one of those he really disliked. His father had been one of those who made his school time a living hell, and worse, had saved his life and therefore set him in a life debt with the son since he was dead. Severus wondered what it wanted with those two youths, an watched as the blue light around the stone seemed to grow. It consumed and the two boys and glowed and vibrated. He watched it dance for what seemed like an eternity before it slowly began to return to normal.
