Never mind I am keeping this story!!! Continuing on into the next chapter! Also there is a reason why Severus was uncounsious for so long, since back in the dark ages medical care was very poor and a lot of times concussions weren't known Severus was basically worse off since the knights had him on horse bouncing him around so it made the injury worse however when they got to the castle the potions were able to help immensly but the best thing to do was to let time do the work.
Severus was gapping like a fish at the kings porclamation towards him. Him?! Severus Snape greasy git, dungeon bat and overall hated person of Hogsmeade and the surrounding areas! Severus felt a little faint at that and was feeling like he was about to fall over when a pair of strong arms lifted him up and gently sat him on a chair. The king kneeled in front of him on one knee, letting one hand hold Severus's and the other craddling Severus's cheek.
Severus sat stunned at the wonderful feelings that were going through him at the kings touch. The king was now gently rubbing his thumb on his cheek looking at him like he was the most precious thing in the world.
The king then started to say, "Yes you are my magically chosen bride. The old magicks chose you for a reason and that reason only the magic knows. But I want to get to know you and earn your heart before I earn your hand."
Severus was stunned once again by the kings words, however Severus had to think about this thoughrouly and he answered the king, "Your highness..."
"Harry my dear. Please call me Harry." said Harry looking at him with emerald eyes.
"Harry...I need to think about this before I get into anything." replied Severus hesitantly not wanting to anger the king
"Of course you can!" replied Harry happily and pulling Severus to his feet he then told him, "You had a small donkey follow you the entire way my knights brought you to my castle. Your friend is currently in the stables..."
Harry had no time to finish as Severus ran out of the room to find his loyal friend (only friend). Harry watched him go and hoped that Severus would chose to stay with him and give this a chance. Afterall it wouldn't be good if he forced the man to stay, that would be a negative in the ways of magic.
Severus ran down the halls and to be honest got lost but managed to find his way to the stables. "Bella!" called Severus and he heard a happy bray and little hoofbeats on the stone floor of the stables and saw his faithful friend was well cared for. "Bella you followed me all the way here?" asked Severus rubing the donkey's head and ears lovingly. If donkeys could blush Bella would but she gently butted her head against her owners chest as he kneeled down to his knees to rub her better. Severus then began to tell her his delema, "I don't want to accept Bella but he's the king he can make me do it. Sometimes I wonder why my life is so difficult."
Severus continued to debate with himself but finally he decided and a good thing to because the king was standing in the doorway! Severus jumped a little but mostly staye kneeling beside Bella who was glaring at the king and pinning her ears.
The king came closer but was halted by Bella who angrily charged at the king bucking at him, rearing, biting, and charging! Bella couldn't belive that this stupid man was wanting her human as a mate! Well she would decide if he was good enough for him, she had some powerful friends back in the Forbidden Forest who would gladly help her. Severus was astonished at Bella's behavior however she soon stopped, glared at the king again, turned around and gave one last kick from her hind end then she stopped looked at Severus fondly, nuzzled him and pranced back to her warm stall clearly thinking she had made her point.
Harry was amused at the little donkey's display and was happy to know that Severus had such a loyal friend even if it was an animal.
"Have you made a decision yet?" asked Harry hesitantly helping Severus off the stable floor.
Severus hesitated but said, "Yes, I will give this a chance."
Harry smile widened and soon Harry had Severus in his arms swinging him around in happiness, "Thank you! You won't regret this." said Harry and he then gave Severus a kiss on the cheek, which caused the man to blush. Harry smiled at him cheekily and took Severus arm into his arm and led him back to Severus's rooms for some new clothes. However, a thought came to Harry's mind that his Dark Veela had asked about earilier that morning, so Harry turned to Severus and asked him gently stopping at the stables doorway, "Severus I need to know and so does my Dark Veela. Are you a virgin?"
Severus hesitated but knew he would be in trouble if he lied, "Yes, I am." Severus lowered his eyes but a hand cupped his chin and saw a heated gaze in the king. The king purred and said, "Wonderful, I'll be your first and only. My courting will now have to be done differently but that is alright, I look forward to it."
Severus watched uneasily at the fiery gaze in the kings eyes and the king then kissed his hand reverently. Soon they were walking back inside the castle and Severus was now feeling scared and unsafe having many unpleasent thoughts run in his head, "I don't have anything to offer the king for a courting gift! What am I supposed to do? He seemed happy I'm a virgin but that doesn't make me happy. Now I better have a knife under my pillow just incase. His eyes scare me and besides besides my virginity what more could I give him? I can't give him my heart, that would take a very long time, my virginity all he has to do is order me to lie with him and it would be over. What do I have that could be wanted? No one wants me I'm nothing, a nobody, and worthless. As I've been told all my life as it were, and the only good thing about me is my potions. So what could I give that anybody would want?"
Unknown to either of them a rat missing a toe scurried away hurridly outside the castle walls and outside the perimeter wards. The rat then sat upon an old shoe and was sent away. Later the rat landed outside a very old looking castle that was grotesque and sinister looking. The rat turned into a man and soon the man walked into the castle gates and through the doors only halting to be let into the owners private study.
A tall man that looked like he was part snake was busy sighning some papers and talking to a few people when the man glared at the rat-man with blood red eyes and said, "Wormtail...what have you to report to me?"
Wormtail bowed and cowered saying, "King Hadrian has used the old magicks to find his chosen bride."
"We all know that you idiot." replied a woman with crazy curly hair sitting in a chair
"Yes, but he found his bride." replied Wormtail looking at the man who had stopped writing "Harry found her?" asked a tall handsome man with platnium blonde hair
"No...him." replied Wormtail but all grew quiet and cautious as the man at the table stood up and walked towards a window. "Tell me more Wormtail." said the man in grey robes
"Of course my lord. The man's name is Severus Snape..." Wormtail didn't even finish when a laugh was heard from the woman in the chair
"I know him ugly as they come his only use is poitions making." said the woman chuckling but then started screaming as the Lord of the castle was pointing his wand at her angrily
"Shut up Bellatrix. I have heard of Severus Snape, he's the youngest potions master in about 500 years. And I don't find him that terrible looking, all that would have to be done was clean him up a bit and better clothes, along with food. That worked with you didn't it Bellatrix?" said the Lord of the Caste
Bellatrix immediantly cowered and bowed away. "Wormtail continue." He said looking out the window once more
"He was chosen by the old magicks and by the creature magic that the King poccesses. And I did find out what exactly the spell did. The spell found the perfect magical, body, mind, and soul match for the caster." said Wormtail as he continued watching the man at the window think "Also I heard that Severus Snape is a virgin and of the Prince bloodline."
They all looked at their leader as he had a look of stunned silence on him. Then he started to chuckle then full on laugh but soon he stopped and said, "Do you know what this means?" Know one knew
"Severus Snape would be able to bear children as he is from the Prince line that is known for having male carriers. And him being a virgin the old magicks would be more willing to aid the man in birth and having a child." replied the man sitting back down in the chair.
They all nodded now, understanding what their lord wanted from the man, after all there was a prophecy spoken a few years back that seemed to now be coming true. And it was time for Lord Voldemort to make his precence known once more and what better way than at the kings ball that would have everyone in attendance even Severus Snape.
