The Bonding Ceremony
"Harry!" A familiar voice shouted. Harry groaned inwardly but put on a smile and turned around to greet his long time friends.
"Ron, Hermione!" Harry called out. "When did you get here?"
"About twenty minutes ago, but they wouldn't let us see you until now," Hermione said.
"Yeah Mate, lot of people down there running around. How are you feeling?" Ron asked the latter quietly.
"Well I think great, for a person that is just about to marry and bond with one of my worst enemies," Harry said sarcastically putting on a fake smile. Then he sighed. "Sorry it's just a little hard. Seems like my whole life is planned for me. Should've guessed this was coming you know."
"Harry we're here for you no matter what. Just go there and knock them out," Ron said.
"Yeah Harry, and you never know you might enjoy being married to Malfoy," Mione said quietly. Ron snorted, and Harry sighed.
"Maybe it will get better, but I doubt I'll really enjoy it like I would if I were to pick who I was to marry," Harry told them. He turned and faced the whole length mirror. He was wearing traditional elfin robes. The were an off white color. Inside he was wearing a elfin dress robe. Harry didn't like wearing it. It was too fancy and he didn't think it suited him. There was a lot of embroidery on it, it was too high class for his taste. But Maletin made him wear it saying 'Best get used to it Harry, the Prince will always have to look High Class.' 'Bet Malfoy is loving this,' Harry thought.
"Harry I was reading up on Elfin mating rituals and it was interesting," Hermione said with a twinkle in her eyes. Harry hated that twinkle, it was the same type that Dumbledore got when he knew something that you did not.
"Yeah, I've had to read up on it and listen to Maletin tell me all the details," Harry replied. He knew where this was heading. "Stop it Mione you are not making it easier. I'm your best friend you're not suppose to take pleasure from my pain."
"But Harry I'm pretty sure that it is pleasure that you will be getting. You are going to be on the top non?" Hermione asked her voice filled with laughter.
Harry did not reply. He instead ran to the bathroom, all of sudden he had the urge to hurl, and so he followed that urge. For the first time since he found out about the predicament he allowed himself to let free his emotions. Tears rolled down his cheek as he leaned over the toilet emptying his stomach of all its contents.
"Oh Harry I'm so sorry it was only meant as a joke," Hermione told him. Harry sighed and took a towel to wipe his mouth and face. He washed it and again wiped it all.
"It's alright Hermione," he told his best friend. Just then there was a knock on the door. Ron went and opened the door.
Maletin came into the room. He was a light blue robe which made his blue eyes stand out more. His face was kind as he looked at Harry. "It is time Prince. Follow me. You two can go down first, use the corridor to your left." Hermione and Ron left without a word, but encouraging smiles. Harry turned and followed Maletin to the right passageway. The entered a huge room. It was much like a bathroom, only it had a huge pool in the middle. Kalzaer, the elf who was to conduct the ceremony was standing there in red robes. There were only four more elves other then that it was empty,
Harry as he practiced before went up to Kalzaer and began to speak. I, Harry James Potter, the chosen of the Elfin Kingdom to be Prince, come here to bond with my mate. My one and only. Please give me the blessings and bestow upon me the knowledge of marriage and bondage.
Bring forth his chosen one, Kalzaer spoke to another Elf. The next minute Draco came into the room. Chosen one of the Prince come forth and stand next to your one and only. Draco came and stood next to Harry. Harry held out his hand and Draco put his small smooth hand in it. We come here to bond these two great beings. We bless them with a life of happiness. May one life off the other. May they know each others pain and happiness. May they live as one in peace. The Kingdom of Elves give you their most holiest blessings. Live to your best together. Kalzaer looked at Harry to queue him.
I, Harry James Potter, bond myself to Draco Lucifer Malfoy. I will forever live with him and love im. I am his one and only. When I die, so shall he, when I am happy, so will he. I give him my whole self. Body, mind and soul. May he keep it with him always and forever more.
I, Draco Lucifer Malfoy, give myself to Harry James Potter. I will forever live with him and love him. He is my one and only. When he dies, so shall I, when he is happy, so will I. I give him my whole self. Body, mind and soul. May he keep it with him always and forever more.
Just then Harry and Draco felt a power surge through them. It was strong and the held on tight to each other for fear of falling.
Step into the water of the Unicorns and forever cleanse your soul and live with each other being pure, Maletin said to Draco and Harry when the recovered. They slowly walked into the clear liquid. It felt soothing. Harry closed his eyes, and let himself do the same. Draco felt years of anger, sorrow, fear, guilt drain away. Serenity washed over him and he closed his eyes as well.
The ceremony was complete. Now there was one more bonding they had to do. In front of their family and friends. It was the bonding of the community. Where they bond in front of them. They were both lead away to different areas.
Maletin took off Harry's Wet robes and gave him a fancy emerald robe. It was beautiful and complemented his eyes beautifully. But he felt so Slytherin in them. He combed back his hair, which surprisingly was tamable now.
"Come now it is time," Maletin said. Harry followed Maletin down to the great hall in which the ceremony was to take place. Maletin motioned for him to stop and went in himself.
Inside the Great Hall
"Ladies and Gentleman. My fair kind, friends and family. I welcome you tonight. I am Maletin Xelam, Advisor of our fair prince Harry Potter. I have the honor tonight to introduce him to everyone. So without further ado, our Prince Harry!" The Great Hall doors opened and Harry walked in. He surprisingly was not scared. He strode to the front and stood in front of Albus Dumbledore as everyone clapped for him.
Then another Elf went to stand beside Maletin. "Good Evening My kind, my friends, our family. I am glad to welcome you tonight to witness this great event. I am Tulane Nasthar, Advisor of our fair prince's soon to be husband and now bonded, Draco Malfoy. I have the honor tonight to introduce him to everyone tonight, here is Prince Draco," he said. The great hall doors once again flew open. In walked Draco, he was wearing a beautiful silver robe, which made his eyes twinkle with a liveliness no one had ever seen.
Both Draco and Harry stood throughout the ceremony quietly, not really paying attention to the words. The said all the things in monotone. It was quiet annoying to the people actually. They only snapped out of the daze when Dumbledore said, "Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you Mr. Harry Potter, and Mr. Draco Potter, you may now kiss." Harry gently leaned over and ever so lightly kissed Draco on the lips, ignoring the faint surge that went through them. Harry then took Draco's hand and turned to the crowd and smile. It was a forced smile that didn't quiet reach his eyes and Draco did the same. The act had started and they didn't know when it would end. Well at least it couldn't get worse, they both thought. How wrong they were.
