Harry Potter & the Rejecting the Veela
By the Short Fat Fag
Chapter Six – Damnation
When Harry awoke, his head hurt like it never had before. It wasn't a terribly painful feeling, nothing like what it felt like to be hit with the cruciatus curse or the pain from when Voldemort was near him and his scar burned uncontrollably. No this was a different kind of hurt, the sort of pain from when you sleep far too long and have a sinus headache all at the same time. Not life threatening, but uncomfortable all at the same time. Groggily Harry forced his eyes open and blurrily looked for his glasses.
'That bludgers must have packed more of a wallop then I thought,' Harry thought to himself as he put his glasses on.
Looking around, Harry suddenly remembered that he was in the infirmary once more, but he was in one of the private rooms and not his normal bed that he slept in whenever he stayed here. Before he could wonder why he had been moved into the private room, he suddenly felt something. That something was moving.
Glancing over to the other side of the bed, Harry got the shock of his young life. Draco Malfoy was sleeping beside him in the same bed. Then he got another shock, Draco Malfoy was not only sleeping with Harry, but he was also naked as the day he was born. Then Harry suddenly had a vague memory of waking up in the middle of the night with Malfoy standing naked beside his bed.
"Bastard," swore Harry and pushed the slumbering Slytherin out of the bed. With the sudden movement of the sleeping teenager, he made a resounding thud as he hit the cold stone floor.
"Hey," Malfoy said sleepily from the vicinity of the floor. However, Harry ignored him and started to get out of bed. However, Harry was far groggier than he thought and he also fell to the floor when he attempted to climb out of the bed.
"Ouch," said Harry as he also hit the stone cold floor. However, when he did hit the floor, he realized something he hadn't before, he was also naked. He and Malfoy were sleeping naked together. A sudden panicked thought flashed through Harry's mind, 'Did he rape me?' Harry reached around and felt his backside and realized that there was no pain or discomfort, none of the tell tale signs of being taken.
"Why'd you push me out of bed love?" asked Draco as he tried to climb back into bed and having some difficulty.
"Did you rape me?" replied Harry wearily as he began to crawl away from the bed in order to find some clothing and more importantly his wand so he could curse Malfoy for doing this to him.
At that moment Madame Pomfrey entered the private room and said, "Well, I see that you are awake now." Then seeing the condition of her two patients, she asked, "Why are you out of bed?"
"He pushed me," pouted Malfoy like a little child.
"What happened?" demanded Harry.
Sighing, Madame Pomfrey answered, "It seems that Mr. Malfoy snuck into my infirmary in the middle of the night and performed the bonding ritual with you when you were unconscious. This effectively means that you two are now married."
"WHAT?" screamed Harry, which only served to make his head hurt more than before. Grabbing his head in pain, Harry moaned softly from the screaming he had just done.
"Calm down Mr. Potter, I know this must be a bit of a shock for you," replied the nurse sternly and oddly sympathetic at the same time. "Waking up like this with absolutely no idea how this happened, nor giving your consent for it to happen like this. However, like it or not, it has happened earlier than you planned I'm sure and you will have to learn to deal with it."
Fuming, Harry looked over at the Slytherin who was still trying to get back into the bed and again asked, "Did you rape me Malfoy?"
Shocked by the outburst, Madame Pomfrey answered, "No, he didn't. I already checked for that."
"How long have we been in here?" asked Harry?
Madame Pomfrey put a bracing hand on the naked Gryffindor and said, "Three days."
Harry closes his eyes and sighs wearily.
"Now I need you both to get back into bed," the nurse said in her matter of fact manner.
"Where are my clothes?" asked Harry suddenly realizing he was naked in front of the school nurse.
"They are in the wardrobe, the Headmaster insisted that we strip the pair of you and place you in his private room so that when you awoke you could mate freely with one another."
Finally making it back into the bed, Malfoy smiles gleefully and says, "Come on Potter, come back to bed so we can make love and make a baby together."
"No."
"No?" Malfoy and Madame Pomfrey ask together.
"No," Harry repeated himself. "I rejected you before and I will reject you again. I couldn't stop you from performing the bonding spell, but I can refuse to mate with you."
"Am I to understand that you have are completely against bonding with Mr. Malfoy?"
"No, he is not!" bellowed Malfoy.
"Yes, Madame Pomfrey that is what I am saying," said Harry with a glare to the selfish Slytherin.
"Well, then I think we need to place you into separate rooms to be sure that your wishes are respected."

A couple of hours later as Harry was sitting in a chair wearing a pair of infirmary pajamas and a dressing robe in yet another private room in the infirmary talking to Ron and Hermione about what had happened during the time he was asleep with the part Veela.
"I can't believe Dumbledore actually thought it was a good idea," said Harry in total disbelief.
"I am so furious with that man," said Hermione as she paced the room and stamped her foot in frustration. "He refused to call in the Aurors when I suggested it. He said you would be happier when you woke up and would accept the bonding."
"Yeah mate, we tried to write to the Aurors ourselves, but Dad said until you woke up they would have no grounds to do anything about it," Ron added in with a mouth full of chocolate frog.
"Well, I AM awake now and I AM going to write to them and get something done about this," said Harry with conviction. "I am not going to go through life bonded to that blonde git for the rest of my life!"
"Good, I knew you would feel this way," Hermione began, "so I took the liberty of drafting your letter for you." Then she drew out a thick roll of parchment from her rucksack and handed it to Harry to read. "I outlined what the law says about this type of forced bonding and what kind of protection you are entitled to under Wizarding Law as well as your initial complaint. All you need to do is read it and sign it."
"Thanks," said Harry completely caught off guard by the letter. "When did you write this?"
"The morning after Ron and I discovered what had happened to you," Hermione admitted. "I had to do something."
"Yeah mate," Ron began, "You should have seen her; she can be right scary when she wants to be."
Hermione beamed at her friends.
Looking up from the letter, Harry looked to his two best friends and asks fearfully, "So how's Justin?"
Ron and Hermione shot each other a worried look. "Well, you see Harry," Hermione began, "When Justin first found out that you and Malfoy had been bonded, he was ..."
"He was furious," Ron finished for her. "He wanted to rip Malfoy apart, but Dumbledore wouldn't let him near the infirmary or you."
"My poor, poor Justin," Harry said and bent down and rested his head in his hands.
"Well," Hermione said tenderly, "I don't think he's yours any longer."
Looking up Harry said, "Just because Malfoy did this, does not mean that I am giving up on him." However, once he saw the look in Ron and Hermione's faces, he knew what had happened. Justin had given up on him.

A few minutes after Ron and Hermione left Harry's room with the letter in their hands to be delivered to the Ministry by Hedwig, Harry had another visitor.
"Harry, may I come in?"
Harry sighed and replied, "Of course, Professor Dumbledore, what did you want?"
Twinkling the Headmaster began, "I'm glad to see that you're up and about again, but I was concerned to learn that you won't stay in the same room as your bond mate."
"He is not my bond mate, he is anything but that," Harry clearly stated.
"Harry..."
"No," Harry interrupted the Headmaster, "You do not get to come in here and twinkle at me and try and talk me into doing something I have absolutely no intention of going on with. I was forced into this situation, after repeatedly rejecting his advances and you know it."
"Harry, I think you should calm down and think about this rationally," Dumbledore said calmly as he conjured a squishy chair for him to sit in. "Once you and Mr. Malfoy get to know one another better, I'm sure that you'll find this arrangement to be beneficial to both of you."
"No."
However, Dumbledore continued as if Harry has said nothing, "Now that your abilities have increased, you will need to be near him in order for each of you to learn how to depend on one another in controlling them. I'm afraid my dear boy, that you are going to be learning magic all over again."
"Not necessarily," said Harry with a smirk.
"What do mean?" asked a confused Headmaster.
"Well, my abilities are only slightly augmented at the moment," explained Harry, thanks to Hermione's research. "If I had continued to stay in the same room with him, then yes, our magic would have continued to mix with each other's. However, now that I have gotten away from him, the process is now much slower and gives us time to correct the problem and undo the bond."
"Harry, once a Veela or in this case a part Veela, bonds with someone, the bond cannot be broken," explained the Headmaster with his eyes twinkling. "How do you plan to go about it?"
Harry just half smiled and said, "There are ways."

Sometime that evening, after Harry and Malfoy are released from the infirmary, he makes his way up to the entrance of Gryffindor Tower and to his friends.
"Well, I hear that you've had an exciting week," said the Fat Lady as Harry approached the entrance to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Hardly," Harry grumbled and then gave the password.
"Harry!" exclaimed a very excited Ginny Weasley, who bounded up to him and gave him a great big hug. "We've missed you."
Suddenly feeling a lot better, thanks to that hug he replies, "Thanks Gin, I needed that."
"So how's married life treating you and where is the lovely Mrs. Potter?"
Scowling Harry said, "That's not funny Ginny."
"Yes, it is," she replied giggling. "Oh come on Harry, you'll find a way out of this. I know one thing and that's you can always get out of trouble when you need to."
Blushing Harry nodded and was quickly saved from his embarrassment by his two best friends, Ron and Hermione.
"Harry! What are you doing out of the infirmary? Madame Pomfrey will kill you."
"Don't worry Hermione; she released me and that bastard a little while ago. I wanted to come up and take a shower and change into some clean clothes before going down to dinner."
Ron and Hermione gave each other a look that Harry had come to learn meant nothing good for him.
"Well, you see how it is mate," Ron began, "You can't change your clothes, all your stuff is gone."
"What?"
"The house elves came up while you were sleeping and packed all of your things up and moved them into the private quarters that you'll be sharing with Malfoy for now on. Did we forget to mention that?"
"Yes Hermione," Harry replied through gritted teeth, "You did forget that. For that matter, so did everyone else." Then spinning on his heels, Harry quickly made for the portrait of the Fat Lady and then to Dumbledore's office to have a few words with him. Ron, Hermione and Ginny quickly followed, they didn't want to miss this.
However, once outside the Gryffindor common room Harry and his friends run into Professor McGonagall.
"Potter, there you are," the head of Gryffindor House said when she spotted him. "You are to come with me to your new quarters."
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
A few minutes later, Harry is shown his new rooms by Professor McGonagall. "This is where you'll be staying for the time being Potter."
"What if I don't want to stay here with Malfoy?"
Confused, Professor McGonagall asks, "What do you mean by 'Don't want to stay'?"
"I mean that I refused to do this repeatedly and was forced into it, so I think that I have the right to not be forced into living with Malfoy."
"You mean to say you didn't want to go through with this?" McGonagall stood there stunned and muttered to herself, "But Albus said..."
Irritated, Harry said without thinking, "Yes, he says a lot of things." Then he entered the quarters he was forced into sharing with Malfoy. Once inside Harry found Malfoy going through his things and was furious about it.
qpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqpqp
"An invisibility cloak, father can make good use of this once I send it to him," Malfoy said s he held up the cloak inspecting it.
"NO MALFOY!" Harry yelled. "That is my cloak and is going no where."
"Temper, temper my love, your mine now and thus everything that was once yours is now mine."
"I don't think so," Harry said and grabbed the cloak from Malfoy's hands and replaced it in his trunk, which he closed and locked. "I've already written to the Aurors and they'll be here shortly and arrest you for breaking wizarding law."
"You wish Potter."
Harry waved off Malfoy's posturing and said, "However, in the mean time, I'll be taking my things and returning to Gryffindor Tower."
However, before Malfoy could respond the sound of a faint pop appeared in the room and a house elf was standing there.
"Harry Potter, Professor McGonagall is saying you is needing me right away."
Smiling at this small friend Harry said, "Yes, Dobby I do need you. Can you make sure all of my possessions are packed back in my trunk and taken back up to Gryffindor Tower? I won't be staying here after all."
"Yes Harry Potter sir, I is doing that right away," Dobby said gleefully and with a snap of his fingers all of Harry's possessions, even the ones Malfoy had taken and hidden in his own trunk were back in place and then the house elf and trunk popped away again.
Once Dobby was gone, Harry turned to Malfoy and said, "Nice room you've got here Malfoy, hope you like living in them alone." Then Harry turned around and left the private quarters to go and find Justin and try to explain all of this to him.
