A/N: Hi! If there is something you'd like to see in the story please you can either msg me or post it in a review! I'm more than happy to hear your thoughts as well! Please enjoy the story, read and review! :) Also I'd like to apologize with as long as it has taken to get me to get this chapter up. I've had the slight writers block, after revealing that Albus was really Godric and Salazar. Lol.
It was late into the afternoon, by the time that Harry had woken up. Having cast a tempus charm and when it said it was nearly four o'clock. "Why the hell didn't anyone wake me up?" Growling, and grabbing his bag throwing the copy of the book into his bag, then grabbing a pair of jeans since it was Sunday, and he didn't need to wear robes, nor saw the reason too since it was already so late into the day already.
Finally making it down to the common room, it was Neville or Ginny that spoke him him. "Sorry, Hey! Late. Homework." He spoke running out the door towards the library. After three flights of stairs he was finally on a floor that had the library on it. It would take some time to find Hermione and Ron, because he was sure, Ron was being tormented to get the rest of his work done as well. If he was on the fourth floor he figured they'd be on the third because that's where Hermione liked best, even if there was a bit more of a climb to the tower. Harry wondered if they'd ask about the Dursley's, not that he wanted to talk about it. He had not wanted anyone at all to know of his suffering there at least. Sure the Dursley's had backed off over the years with the abuse, but the others were still noticeable. Like the neglect, the emotional, but there wasn't much that he could do about either of those, but they were easier to deal with than the physical abuse that he had endeared during his younger years.
It was then that he heard his name, being hollered quietly aloud. "HARRY?" That was hollered again in a harsh whisper from Ron and Hermione. "Oh, hey guys." He smiled slightly looking at them. He saw that Hermione had the book open that talked about Snape and himself. "So what have you got done?" Harry asked looking at Ron, knowing he had probably the same amount he had done as Harry did when Hermione started on him. "Enough of it." Ron grumbled, "Enough at least turned in without being put into detention to finish it." He laughed, "So, Hermione the book, how is it?" "Interesting." Hermione said looking up from it who was already done with her Homework and reading for the next week. "Can you explain it or am I going to have to read it myself?" Harry asked curious, because he wasn't sure he wanted to read it. It was possible it would just make things that more real. "It probably be best if you read it yourself, because there are sensitive issues you and...you know will have to talk about." Hermione blushed slightly, but it had gone unnoticed by Harry and Ron. "Okay, if I have questions I can ask you right?" She nodded and put her head back down into the book, as Harry also began on his homework.
It was late evening by the time Severus had got done with his potions for the evening now he was letting them simmer and cool. One of the potions was the wolf Lupin's wolfbane potion, as well as some for the infirmary that had been running low on. Severus' plan had been to get those potions out of the way before starting on the book that Salazar gave him that the Ganger girl had found, that had also been planted by the 'so-called headmaster(s).'
Severus called for a house elf to bring him some tea and busicts that he could enjoy while reading the book. Once the house elf had popped in, and said "Tilly bring your tea sir, like asked." She had bowed and popped away as Severus had thanked her for it. "Now, for the book." Severus said as he picked the old tome up. Severus was fifteen minutes into the book when something necessarily caught his eye in the book. It was then that he began to read it aloud this time, to try to believe it himself, and if not help him understand it.
" The prophecy spoke of these two souls meeting with a common goal, to defeat the man with no face, no human face whose the darkest evil. Along with these two souls have many deeds in common, but have faced with years of difference, anguish, and heartache. Both have faced things that neither thought they'd faced, but they have. The oldest will understand the young one, but neither are willingly specially the young one, but as well as the old. " Severus read this and began reading more til more caught his eye, that was intriguing. It was intriguing because it was a common goal to bring down the Dark Lord but it had been amusing that the knew back when that prophecy had been spoke that The Dark Lord would have not a human face in the aims to defeating him. Why Severus found it amusing he had no idea, maybe he was loosing his mind. Shaking his head he turned back to the book from where he had left off, it wasn't that difficult to understand the book had they not found out about Salazar and Godric, it may have been.
"The bracelets will tell when the time is right, a warm glow will envelop the person that to be able to see into the persons past. If attacked mental, physical, the bond mate who is not being attacked the magic that they posses will protect the other, at any stage of the bond after the bracelets have been attached." Severus gaped looking down at the book, because that had happened with him with Harry, and how he found out about the abuse that Harry went through. Even though he said something to Godric and Salazar along with the rest of the crowd yesterday when discussing things. He didn't understand why neither Slytherin or Gryffindor spoke up when he said it. 'Probably because it was their way of manipulating you the same way they had been for years by them, and how they bloody well know everything!' Severus thought harshly to himself. Taking a drink of his tea, and a bite of biscuit and continued on in the book.
It was heading towards being midnight, Harry was sitting up in his bed once again unable to sleep and putting finish touches on his homework. He looked over at the book again and shrugged, picking it up and randomly opening to a spot in the book. He hadn't noticed that he had turned to the section about the bonding, and the bind between those that have the bracelets. So as he read,
"The Bond, should the bracelets feel between the two souls feel as if they are taking too long to bind themselves together, meaning binding their bodies, magic, and soul. The bracelets are necessarily alive once attached to a live host such as witch or wizard, or as long as the being has a magical core. They are necessarily enchanted alive because of the magic that flows through them from both of their host. It is why there are two bracelets, attached to the host. The ruby encrusted is for that who is true to courageous, and the recklessness. While the emerald encrusted is for the cunning, and the resourceful. Because of the two metals that are twisted around one another the silver along with the gold protect the magic." Harry was astounded by all that, so he continued to read onward about what he was reading. That was when Harry's mouth just dropped looking down at the words.
" Although the prophecy is a fate that is destined for these two souls, and neither understand as to why the bracelets choose them. It was magic and fate that choose the souls years ago, and bound them together from the potential that they both possess. While they may have hardships along the way, not just between them. In their life they've faced many of those as well, and shall continue to do so. If the two intended have not bound by three months time, the magic that flows throughout the bracelets that have brought them alive. Will take over their hosts and make sure that the deed is done, for the potential of their magic together is at its highest peak during those three months. If not bound in those three months or within the time frame of those three months. Their magic will become wild, and their core will be come unstable. It could cause unreasonable amounts of damages to others as well as themselves. That is only if the two souls do not bound to one another within those three months. Because the bracelets will alive because of the magic that flows throughout them, it binds the magic and helps contain the unmeasurable amounts of magic that would be gained from this bonding. This is why soul-mates, or soul mated wizards and/or witches and creatures are now unheard of. Because of the fact it is hard to contain the magic within themselves, if not bound by bracelet or magical object containing the magic within. Although also, if any soul-mates due connect within their late teenager years or once they've found who they are mated to be with, they have the same amount of time to be mated with as these two do, or the same magical things will happen as well as unstable magical cores, wild magic being performed." It was then that you could hear from dungeons to Gryffindor tower, scream, "WHAT?!" At this late hour at night.
There were two very sneaky "Headmasters" snickering about the 'WHAT" that was heard all over Hogwarts at this late hour. "Oi, love I believe they just read the binding." "I believe they did Ricky baby." Salazar smirked, "Remember ours?" Godric smiled and nodded who was glancing down at Godric's bonding bracelet. It was simliars to Harry and Severus', but Slytherin and Gryffindor's wasn't twisted. Salazar represented - everything that Slytherin which was cunning, ambition, determination, resourcefulness, cleverness and power. It was why Salazar's was elfin silver metal chain around his wrist with bits of ruby's bound into the metal. Godric represented – everything that Gryffindor stood for which was daring, strong of will, nerve, bravery, chivalry, and courage. It was why Godric's was gold, pure goblin gold chain around his wrist with emeralds bound into the metal. "I wonder what will happen tommorw huh?" He chuckled, as he rubbed Salazar's arm who was already asleep again. Godric just shook his head and closed his eyes as well, he figured that Severus would be in a foul mood tomorrow because he usually was first thing in the on Monday's it was double potions with Slytherin and Gryffindor, and Potter was in that would be awkward to say the least.
Monday morning it was everyone was gathered around in the Great Hall eating breakfast. Harry was still laying in bed, starting at the ceiling in shock still, because he had to mate with Snape. Snape of all people had to been his equal in this, how can a man hate him so much be the man whose suppose to be his soul mate, the other part of the power that knows not. How was it? Finally pulling himself from the bed, Harry laughed in a crazy creepy laugh, before stalking out of the dorm for the showers, he left everyone in the room with their eyebrows raised, even Ron. Ron was to busy thinking about food to ask questions, so he left before waiting any longer on Harry.
By the time Harry gotten out of the shower, and cast a tempus charm, it was nearly 915am in the morning. 'SHIT' Harry's mind screamed as he threw his tie around his neck untied rushing out the door and out of the commons area. He knew his only chance to make it to Potions on time was to take the secret passage way to the Slytherins common room, because it could be his best chance of getting there. Taking it he ran as fast as he could, making it just at the door just in time he could hear Snape's robes bellowing behind him as Snape got closer to his classroom. Harry opened the door quickly and he heard the nagging voice of Draco Malfoy, "Poor Potty running late." Draco laughed darkly at Harry and Harry just rolled his eyes.
Casting the door open and it hitting the wall, Severus surevied the room. Looking at the patheic dunderheads he had to teach. "Page 217, begin NOW!" Severus yelled stifling a yawn in the process as he had just gotten up. Severus could feel the gaze of someone on him, when he looked up from his desk. He cocked an eyebrow at Harry, and Harry flushed and looked back down at his book to see the potion they would be doing. Amortentia would be the potion that they would be working on, he read quietly to himself before he went to get the ingredients for the potion.
Next Chapter: Magic flares, between two people. Draco throwing stuff into Harry's caldron, which causes and explotion which Severus' Potions classroom destroied. Severus Gives Potter Detention with him, and Severus as a mild injury.
