Chapter 5:

The next morning after breakfast found Harry in Dumbledores office. „My boys, it’s good to see you,“ the headmaster greeted them, as if they hadn’t seen each other in years. „Please take a seat, we have many things to discuss.“ They sat in front of the desk. Voldemort didn’t wait for Dumbledore to say anything more and conjured the parchment he had prepared. Dumbledore stared at him expectantly. Harry didn’t now how his eyes could still twinkle so happily. Wasn’t he concerned about him in the least? His godfather and Remus hat looked crestfallen, as he had seen them at breakfast. So did the teachers. Even Snape looked slightly worried, even if Harry didn’t know if it was because of him or because of his beloved Lord. But Harry knew, why Dumbledore wasn’t worried. Dumbledore believed in him, the only problem was, that Harry felt overwhelmed with everything.

„I believe neither Harry, nor you will let me go on as in the last years,“ Voldemort said. Dumbledore shook his head. „In this case, I have a proposal.“ „May I ask, what includes your proposal?“ Dumbledore asked. „We will form a marriage contract between Potter and myself, that will ensure ,that both of our private an political needs are satisfied. I will even stop all war activities.“

Harry kept silent. So far he hadn’t to say something against it. A contract between them would set strict boundaries and Dumbledore would help him that he wouldn’t sign a bad contract. The only thing, he didn’t understand was, why had it to be a marriage contract? „Harry, are you willing to talk about this proposal?“ „Yes, headmaster, it seems fair enough.“ Dumbledore smiled at him: „Than I will call for your guardians and we will need someone for the job as mediator.“ He turned to Voldemort: „I would propose Severus Snape for this matter, after all, we both trust him,“ the headmasters smile had turned a bit to friendly „He was my spy as well.“ Voldemorts eyes narrowed dangerously: „What do you mean by that, headmaster?“ „Ah, I see, you never had the slightest idea.“ „He will pay for this,“ Voldemort hissed. „I am not pleased with it, but Severus is quite competent. I also propose to send for Lucius, he has the necessary ministry authority.“

Dumbledore Snaped his fingers and Dobby appeared. „What can Dobby do for great Master Dumbledore?“ the elfe squeaked. „Please inform Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy to come to my office.“ Dobbys eyes fell on Harry: „Harry Potter, sir!“ Dumbledore interrupted him: „Dobby, it is urgent.“ The elf bowed and popped out of the room. Dumbledore rummaged in his top drawer. „Lemondrop?“ he asked. Voldemort wrinkled his nose in disgust. Harry declined as well.

A knock sounded at the door and a small group stepped in. „Harry!“ Sirius exclaimed. Snape stepped in front of him, cutting his old school rival off: „You wanted to speak to us, headmaster?“ The headmaster conjured four more chairs and gestured to them to take a seat.

„My Lord,“ Lucius greeted with a bow, before he sat down next to his lord. Dobby popped in with a tray of tea and after everyone had a cup, Dumbledore started explaining: „ I think we all agree, that was a bond between Harry and Tom is irreversible. I advised them to think about their future life together and Tom came to me with a proposal. Harry agreed to discuss the details. So I ask you Sirius as Harrys guardian, Remus as his unofficial guardian, Severus Snape as a mediator between both sides and you Lucius as expert of the law and Ministry Official to come to my office.“

„What kind of proposal?“ Remus asked, whilst Sirius glared daggers at Voldemort. „He proposed a marriage contract in which we set the boundaries for their personal and political life.“ „I won’t let my godson be married off to this slimy bastard!“ said Sirius furiously. Remus gripped him by his arm and pulled him with his werewolf strength back down: „Sirius, pleas listen before you go against it! If we help Harry to get a good contract it will be the best for him and the wizarding world. He has to cope with Voldemort, with or without the contract and with a contract he has at least a chance of a peaceful life.“ „But why has it to be a marriage contract?“ Sirius asked.

Lucius sneared: „As a pureblood and a member of the Black household you should know that marriage contracts are the most binding ones.“ Sirius focused his glare on the blond haired man. „He is right, there is no stepping out of a marriage contract it is a bond as well, there will be only do or die.“ „Do or die? What if Harry forgets about one aspect or gets angry? You know how he can get!“ Sirius said. Harry rolled his eyes. If one out of the two of them were irresponsible, it would be Sirius. Dumbledore cleared his throat: „Sirius, please calm down, we will all watch out for Harrys welfare. Lets start with the personal requests on both parts. For the political boundaries I have to call Fudge. This is after all in the first place a political marriage and some aspects concern the whole wizarding world.“

„Wait a moment!“ Harry has jumped up: „I thought it will be just a marriage contract, no real marriage!“ Snape sneared: „How stupid are you, Potter? There is no marriage contract without a marriage.“ Harry gulped. It was to late to step out now, and if this sort of contract was the safest one it would be for the best. He had to think about the wizarding community, also. He had always thought he would die by trying to kill Voldemort. This was better, wasn’t it? „Shall we start with the Dark Lords requests?“ Lucius asked, conjuring quill and an official looking document. The others gave Harry a questioning look. „It’s fine with me. Maybe I get some ideas from his wishes,“ he mumbled. Voldemort started:

1. We won’t hex, jinks or curse or try to kill each other or the others family, friends or allies.

2. We won’t insult each other in the public.

3. If we don’t agree with the others opinion or method, whilst in public, we will refrain from any criticizing words and discuss it back home.

4. We will have intercourse at least once a week.“

At this point Harry paled and Sirius jumped up once again: „You can’t demand something like this! Harry has just turned 16. He is still a bloody virgin!“Voldemort, Lucius and Snape snorted. „Do you really believe any boy with 16 wouldn’t have sex?“ Voldemort asked. Harry blushed furiously, his cheeks heating up. „I had other things on my mind!“ Harry snapped embarrassed. „Potter, are you really still a virgin?“ Snape asked mirth glinting in his eyes. Harry glared at him: „I hadn’t time and I wanted my first time to be something special, with someone I love.“ Voldemort sight. It wouldn’t do to agitate the boy any further: „I will promise to be gentle with you the first time.“ „Every time,“ Remus said his eyes had become the golden color of the werewolf moony. „Every time,“ Voldemort confirmed. Harry was glad that the two remaining marauders where there to help him, he would have over looked the slight difference between first time and every time. „Why does Harry have to agree to sex at all?“ Sirius snapped. „Because,“ Voldemort drawled „it is one right of a marriage contract an without intercourse it won’t count as marriage contract and wouldn’t be as save for your godson and myself as we need. Can I continue?“ He didn’t wait for an answer.

„5. We will be faithful and have no intercourse or relationship with anybody else.

6. We will remain with our last names, so we can continue our family lines.“

„How will we continue our lines if we aren’t allowed to have sex with a woman?“ Harry asked.

„7. The impregnation will be done by a healer and through the use of magic.

That answered Harrys question.

8. Mr. Harry Potter will keep me company if I request it.

9. I will provide Mr. Harry Potter with a home, clothes, meals and every other thing he needs. After his school he won’t has to work, if he doesn’t wish for it. I will also help him with his studies and extra education.

10. If Mr. Harry Potter wishes for it he may choose any job, that doesn’t bring him or myself in danger or harm my political ambitions and he will be allowed to finish his education.“

Voldemort stopped. „Are these all your requests?“ Dumbledore inquired. „I have one last request,“ Voldemort answered. „I want to be able to meet with my followers, whilst I stay at Hogwarts for the next three years.“ „This is understandable. Harry will see his friend every day in class, so you should be able to see your friends as well,” Dumbledore said. Snape choked at his tea. Voldemort would never call his followers friends.“ The headmaster turned to Snape: „Would it be ok with you if we reopen the second dungeons?“ „This would be fine with me.“ Dumbledore nodded: „Than it will be settled. Your followers can stay in the second dungeons, if they stay for a longer period of time. But you will be responsible for them. They aren’t allowed to harm the students and if they do so you will deal with them or even hand them out to the Ministry officials.“ „What are the second dungeons?“ Harry asked. „It is mainly one huge chamber under the regular dungeons. Hogwarts hadn’t any need of them and so they where closed off.“ Dumbledore explained.

„Where will we stay whilst at Hogwarts? Will we stay in the Gryffindor common room?“ „No, Harry, you and Tom will get your own rooms. You will be married and you will have marital commitments to you husband. It wouldn’t be appropriate to stay in the dorms. As soon as you are married you will be considered adult and your fellow students will be still underage.“ In his mind a picture of him and Voldemort doing marital activities behind closed bed curtains appeared. Harry blushed a deep crimson. „So my boy, have you any personal requests?“ Harry nodded:

„1. I want, that my friends and family are allowed to visit us whenever they want, whilst at school and after graduation.“

Voldemort shook his head: „Not whenever they want. I won’t cope with them every hour of every day just because they still think I might kill you. Your friends and guardians may visit you once in the week and once at the weekend. When they want to visit us beside of that, they have to asked me and I will be allowed to hold meetings with my followers up to three times a week as well.“ Harry nodded and than said: „Bellatrix will only be allowed to visit for the gatherings or instructions. I won’t have her stay at Hogwarts,“ „I have to agree with Harry, Bellatrix is unpredictable,“ Dumbledore said. „Fine,“ Voldemort said and Harry continued:

„2. You won’t humiliate me during our intercourse.

3. If we decide on having children, we will raise them together as a family and the mother will have no say in it I won’t have Bellatrix Lestrange raise a child if you decide to impregnate her.

4. You will hand over Wurmtail to the ministry, so that Sirius is free again.

5. We will call us by our first names. This is all I request“

Harry smirked evilly. Voldemort glared at him: „I think it will only be appropriate for a married couple. And it won’t be much of a loss to and Peter out“ he gave in. „I have a request also,“ the headmaster said. Voldemort raised one eyebrow. „I gathered, that your body comes from an ritual.“ Voldemort nodded, but didn’t gave anything more away. „Would it be possible to change your body again? You see, my students will be even more frightened of you in your current state and I am sure that Harry would appreciate another appearance, too.“ Voldemort turned inquiringly to Snape. „I would be able to provide you with your old body, My Lord.“ „It might be even helpful in the long run. You may prepare the potion,“ Voldemort agreed . „Then we shall send for the minister,“ Dumbledore announced. He called for Dobby again and sent him to the ministry. „Lucius, have you noted down everything?“ Voldemort asked. „Yes, My Lord,“ Lucius bowed his head. Sirius had taken Harrys hand and squeezed it gently. „It will all turn out well.“ A knock on the door announced the arrival of Minister Fudge. „Come in, Minister,“ Dumbledore greeted. „What is the meaning of this? Sending this barmy house elfe after me?“ He turned to the small group and froze. „You-Know-Who! Albus, restrain him, I will call the aurors!“ Harry rolled his eyes. Who had named this man minister?

„Cornelius, take a deep breath. Tom isn’t here to harm you, he is here for a peace offering,“ Dumbledore explained. Fudge relaxed slightly. „Tom?“ he asked „Tom Marvolo Riddle, my birth name.“ Voldemort explained. He made a motion with his wand and another chair appeared. „Please Minister, sit,“ it wasn’t a question, it was a command, but Fudge did as told. „Could somebody inform me about the events that led to this gathering?“ the minister asked.

Dumbledore started explaining, saving Harry from having to deal with the annoying man. it was a while until Fudge was satisfied and had asked all his questions. The man lened back in his chair, looking like a cat, which had caught a canary. Harry restrained a snort, the man seems to believe, that he could control the most powerful dark wizard of this century now. Probably through Harry. But Harry wouldn't help him, that was for sure. He hadn’t any respect for the man. At least Voldemort had a backbone and was no flubberwurm. „I will support this fully, so Dumbledore show me the agreements you have made already.“ „ This won’t be necessary. The contract has two parts and the first only concerns marital matters.“ Dumbledore said in a friendly but firm voice. The minister looked as if he had swallowed a Lemon drop, but caught himself fast. „Than lets hear their proposals.“ „This time I would like to start first,“ Harry said.

„1. The contract won’t be nullified, even if the bond dissolves one day, so that the peace in the wizarding world remains.

2. There won’t be anymore rampages.“

Voldemort nodded and went on: „I want to include my second and third point from our personal agreement included in this as well. And my Followers will be cleared of all old charges, so that they can start with me again.“

„I can’t do this, they are murderers!“ Fudge exclaimed. „So is he,“ Harry said, pointing to Voldemort. „You will talk to the Wizengarmond if you want this peace,“ Voldemorts eyes flashed bright red. Fudge nodded: „I will try my best,“

„At last I want to partake in political activities, by this I mean that the death eaters will be named an official political party.“ Harry exchanged with Dumbledore and his guardians a meaningful look: „Just a political party? No promises of influence?“ Harry asked. „No influence, expect the wizarding community votes for us.“ Fudge had gotten pale, but the Dark Lord showed no mercy: „What is it Fudge? Are you afraid we will get to much power?“ Fudge gasped: „The wizarding community is wiser than that. They won’t vote for you!“ „Than it won’t be a problem?“ Fudge had tripped in Voldemorts trap. „No, it won’t“

„Is this all?“ Lucius requested. Voldemort gave Harry a questioning look and as he nodded he said: „Prepare the document, so we can sign it as soon as the minister had discussed everything with the Wizengarmond.“

„Cornelius, when will you be back?“ Dumbledore asked. „As soon as possible. I will call for the Wizengarmond immediately. But I don’t know how much time they need two come to an agreement.“ The man left the office, closing the door behind him. Harry fidgeted nervously. He didn’t know what he should do now. Maybe he should use the time and finally write his friends? „Professor Dumbledore can I have some parchment and a quill, please?“ Dumbledore smiled at him and gave him the requested items.“ Now, he only had to decide what to write, or better how to.

„Dear Ron and Hermione,

First I want to say, that I have not changed sides and never will! It was the Priori incantatem incident that led me to this mess. Since the graveyard I had a stronger connection to him than ever. Apparently he could feel when I was hurt and thanks to my uncle I was hurting a lot. So he sought me out, trying to kill me once and for all, but as previously our wands connected again, thus making the connection even stronger and forming a bond between us. Now we can’t be more than a few steps apart. Both Voldemort and his Eeath Eaters and Dumbledore together with the teachers of Hogwarts and Remus and Sirius were not able to brake the bond. I am not happy with this situation, but something good came from it as well. Because Voldemort and I will have to live together from now on, we agreed on a peace for the wizarding world. It will be ensured by a marriage contract. I don’t know when the wedding will take place, yet, but I will make sure to inform you. Even the minister and Sirius agreed on this. Voldemort won’t be able to kill any more people. I hope you are still my friends. I will need all the help I can get, in the next few months. I will explain more in private, if you let me. And don’t be afraid, Voldemort and I won’t stay in the dormitory.

Harry“

„Hey pup, what are you writing?“ Sirius looked over his shoulder. „I wrote Ron and Hermione. We met at Diagon Alley,“ he answered fumbling on his robe. „Oh, pup, how did they react?“ Sirius asked. Harry shrugged: „Hermione was relatively calm, but Ron almost got an heart attack, but Hermione told me to write to them and that she would talk to Ron.“ „They just need some explanations and informations,“ Remus tried to reassure him. „Yeah, I really hope that. I don’t know what to do otherwise.“ „You could always make new friends, someone worthy to be the friend of Gryffindors heir,“ Voldemort suggested. Sirius glared at him and Remus bared his teeth: „Who do you suggest? Little Malfoy? Or another Death Eater spawn?“ „Maybe,“ Voldemort said. „Harry will choose his own friends and it won’t make any difference if he is married to you or not,“ Sirius made clear. „It was just a suggestion, no command, Black,“ Voldemorts eyes were glazing.

„Stop it,“ Harry snapped „This is a difficult day for every body, don’t make it worse.“ „I am on Potters side, for once and I believe Lucius would appreciate some quiet,“ Snape interrupted. An hour went by and than the second It was already half past 3 PM, when Fudge returned. He looked stressed, but pleased: „The Wizengarmond agrees with your wedding, under two condition.“ „What is the condition?“ Voldemort inquired. „You and Mr Potter will give an interview to the daily prophet and publish the second half of the marriage contract for the public. That is the first condition“ Voldemort gave him an annoyed look but agreed. „The second condition is, that the Ministry will provide the teacher for Defence Against The Dark Arts this year.“ Harry saw how Remus face fell. „This isn’t possible! Dumbledore has already promised Remus the job!“ Harry complained. „It’s ok Harry. This contract is more important,“ Remus said. Fudge gave the werewolf a disgusted look. „No it isn’t! You wanted to return for so long! And you,“ he turned to Fudge, poking the ministers chest painfully „don’t look at him like this! He is intelligent and friendly and loyal and it doesn’t matter that he is a werewolf!“ Dumbledore cleared his throat. „Fudge, I am afraid, the contract with Mr. Lupin is already signed. But maybe we will find an agreement:“ Fudge gave Dumbledore a curious look. „Mr Lupin and the teacher from the ministry will share the job. They will take turns with the classes.“ Fudge looked as if he wanted to disagree, but one look from Harry and Sirius and he nodded. Harry was relieved. Remus really had deserved this second chance.

„The contract is ready,“ Lucius declared and to Harry he said: „You have to sign it on the wedding, but now you have to sign the pre-contract. With this contract you will agree to marry the Dark Lord and that you won’t break the marriage promise. The Dark Lord will sign it as well.“ Harry gulped and took the offered quill. This was it than. No turning back. He didn’t read the contract, trusting Lucius in this case and he didn’t have enough knowledge in any case.“ He wrote his name Harry James Potter and watched as Voldemort wrote down his birth name. „You have to sign, too, Black, Harry is still underage and cant really participate in a contract yet.“ Lucius said. Sirius took the quill and signed with a flourish. The names glowed and when the light disappeared his name was written in gold and Voldemorts in silver. Sirius’ stayed black.

They all shook hands and Dumbledore said: „I would suggest a cozy meeting after dinner. We have to plan a wedding and there are only merely two weeks left.“ They all agreed and one after the other they left Dumbledores office, only Voldemort didn’t move. „I will invite the inner circle tomorrow, will the second dungeons be ready by than?“ Dumbledore, who had looked out the window turned to Voldemort: „If you need the room tomorrow, I will make sure everything is prepared.“ They went up to Gryffindor tower. In front of the portrait Harry saw Sirius and Remus waiting. „Harry, we would like to speak to you for a bit,“ Remus said. „Ok, but can we postpone it? I am really tired right now.“ Remus smiled understandingly: „Of course. Maybe after the meeting?“ Harry nodded and opened the portrait hole. In the common room harry turned to his....fiance. He couldn’t believe it just yet.

„Uhm...Tom...can we lay down for a bit?“ he stuttered. Voldemort just nodded and they went upstairs. He changed into his pajama and crawled to his side on the bed and fell asleep even before Voldemort laid down next to him.

Voldemort smirked. This might just turn out well. With the peace offering he had made sure that he wouldn’t loose any more of his pureblooded allies. He watched Potter as he changed in his night clothes. The boy wasn’t bad on the eye. Sure, he was small and thin- no, not thin, more fragile. With his small build, his big, Slytherin green eyes, his porcelain skin and his rosy cheeks he looked like a fairy. And the fact that the boy was still virginal made him so much more intriguing. He couldn’t wait until their wedding night. For a long time his body hadn’t shown any reaction to a human being, anymore, but as he watched the innocent boy something stirred in his groin. His smirk widened. The savior oft he wizarding world would be his. His to mould, his to insult and his to pleasure. The boy would help him with his political goals.

What could be a better help than the boy who lived as a supporter? Maybe not a supporter, but he wouldn’t be able to say something against him, either. Instead he would show up with him, where ever he went and for the public it would be the same as a supporter, even if the boy never said anything. He watched as he crawled into bed, falling asleep immediately.

For someone so young an with so little experience, the day must have been exhausting. He watched the sleeping figure a bit longer. His breath was even and his face looked angelic. Without this horrendous glasses his eyes were even bigger. He would have fix his eyesight. Not only that. He would take the boy once more to Diagon Alley, the boy needed a new wardrobe. Harry had said it was because of his relatives that he wore those old and inapt clothes, maybe he should asked him for some more details.

The Dark Lords husband wouldn’t be seen like this and wouldn’t be treated like this either, because everyone who treated Harry badly, treated him badly. It was like this in a marriage. He didn’t love the boy or anything in this sort, he only married him because he had no other choice but that didn’t mean that he would be a bad husband. Rolling on hiss back he closed his eyes. He would need some strength for the meeting later on.

They slept until dinner, or at least Harry did, Voldemort had awoken an hour earlier. „Wake up, we have to leave for dinner soon.“ Harry opened his eyes and saw Voldemort sitting on the bed with a book in his lap. Outside the sun was already sinking. „How long did I sleep?“ „About two and a half hours. The others will be in the Great Hall soon.“

Harry stood up and changed back into his robe. As he pulled it over his had he heard a rustling and remembered the letter. He went to the window and whistled. Shortly after Hedwig appeared. He gave her the letter and told her: „Bring it to Ron and Hermione and make sure that they read it,“ the owl hooted in agreement and flew away. He followed Voldemort down the hallways, still a bid sleepy.

The others looked as if they had done the same as Harry in the last hours. With the exception of Dumbledore, who's eyes twinkled brightly as ever and Snape, who reeked of potion fumes and made the impression that he had a headache. „My Lord,“ he said as Harry and Voldemort sat down. „The potion will be ready tomorrow.“ „Good,“ Voldemort said smoothly.

Dumbledore stood up and clapped in his hands: „To celebrate the pre-marriage contract I have instructed the house elves to prepare a special dinner!“ The food appeared and it was much more than the last evenings. Harry saw all his favorite dishes and even strawberry ice cream and cake. Dumbledore must have noticed Voldemorts addiction to the fruits, or he still remembered it from Voldemorts school days. Harry tucked in. Now he noticed that he hadn’t eaten since breakfast and the house elves had out done themselves. For a while you could only hear the noises of forks and knives.

After they had eaten, they went up to Gryffindor Tower. The common room was barely recognizable. The desks were pushed to the sites and in the middle stood chairs in a circle. In the center of it stood a small desk with hot chocolate and little biscuits. McGonagall and Flitwick raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. Harry sat next to Voldemort and Remus. To his surprise even Snape had come along, maybe he just couldn’t sneak away from his masters marriage preparations.

„Now, we have to plan a wedding,“ Dumbledore began. „I always loved weddings, it’s always such a nice event!“ Snapes eyes fell nearly out of their sockets and McGonagall snorted in disbelief. Harry just slammed his forehead.

„Has someone made a list with all the things that need preparation?“ Dumbledore asked. „I have, because I thought you men wouldn’t have the insight of this,“ McGonagall pulled a very long list from her robe. Harry gulped. „You have the word, Minerva,“ Dumbledore said.

„First we need rings,“ she started. „I will take care of it,“ Voldemort said. McGonagall nodded approvingly. „Next we need a date and the place.“ „Ah, I thought the first school day would be perfect. We can hold the wedding after the sorting and all the students will be informed this way,“ Dumbledore proposed. „Hogwarts is my home since I was eleven, so it’s ok with me,“ said Harry and turned to Voldemort. He had a far away look and needed a moment to recognize that he was expected to say something: „It is fine form me, as well,“ he finally said.

McGonagall went on: „You will have to buy formal robes for the wedding. Normally it isn’t allowed to see the others robes until the wedding, but we have to make an exception with this.“ „We will go tomorrow, so the robes will be ready on the first of September.“ „We will accompany you,“ Sirius said Voldemort didn’t look happy, but nodded: „We will go after I took the potion, so that the robes can be fitted to my new body.“

„Then we need someone who takes care oft he music,“ McGonagall gave Snape a meaningful look. „I will do that,“ the man grumbled. „I will take care of the decoration,“ Flitwick chimed in. „Than I will sent the invitations, maybe you, Sirius and Remus can help me?“ Dumbledore said. „I will help also,“ Snape said. „We can’t only invite Potters friends but none of the Dark Lords associates.“

Harry took one of the hot chocolates and took a sip. The chocolate was spicy and had a slight flavor of cinnamon. He sight happily and turned back to the conversation. „Well than, lets go into the details,“ Dumbledore said.

„Am I right to believe, that you know how the robes have to look like?“ McGonagall gave Voldemort a piercing look, as if to dare him to say „no“. „Harry will weare the white one,“ Voldemort said. Sirius glared at him, but said nothing. „Has the color a special meaning?“ Harry asked, not knowing anything about wizarding marriage traditions. „Indeed, Potter. Normally the bride wears the white robe,“ Snape said with a gleeful expression. Harry turned a dark shade of red. „Don’t worry Harry, it’s just because you are so much younger,“ Remus padded his shoulder. So with other words, Harry thought, he would be the bottom. Snape snorted. „Severus!“ Dumbledore scolded him. „The contract makes sure that Harry will be treated with upmost respect and care.“ Somehow Harry doubted that. The contract would only make sure, that he wouldn’t be insulted in the public.

McGonagall interrupted them: „Which color theme do you two want?“ „I think the colors, red, silver, green and the traditional white would be proper. After all it will be the wedding of the last heirs to the Slitherin and Gryffindor bloodline.“ „Is it right with you, too, Harry?“ His head of house asked. „Yes, that sounds fine.“

„Shall we go over the invitations now? Than we haven’t to meet again,“ Dumbledore proposed and conjured a parchment, quill and ink, so they hadn’t really an option. „Harry, my boy, do you want to invite the Dursleys?“ Harry made a face: „Where do you get that idea?“ Harry slammed his hand to his mouth as he realized, what exactly he had said. But to his relieve the headmaster only chuckled: „I will take that as a no. But maybe the other Weasleys. The students will be there in any case, they will all get an invitation.“ „Yes, and maybe Nevilles grandmother and Lunas father.“ „Of course my boy. I think you should invite the order, also.“ Harry nodded. Dumbledore sight: „Than we have to invite some people from the Ministry, I will make sure, that we invite the right ones, but we can’t ignore Fudge.“ He turned to Voldemort: „Who do you want to invite?“ „My inner circle with their families. Severus will give you the informations.“

„Will we have a cake?“ Harry asked suddenly. Sirius chuckled: „Of course pup. Do you have a wish?“ Harry beamed at him: „Something with lots of chocolate - and maybe some strawberries,“ He said. „I mean... if it is fine with you?“ He had turned back to his... fiance. He still couldn’t believe it. It was so surreal. „Than it will be a chocolate cake with strawberries,“ Voldemort said. „I will asked Dobby to take care of it,“ Dumbledore said. „I think this will be all for tonight,“ Dumbledore said and let his notes disappear.

„Harry, I would like to have a word with you,“ McGonagall said and gave Voldemort a look. „If it’s possible, in private.“ Voldemort swung his wand and a silencing spell fell. They waited until only Sirius and Remus remained, than McGonagall took the chair across from him: „I only wanted you to know, You are still a Gryffindor and one of my students. Even if you don’t live in the tower anymore, you can always come to me if you need any help. It won’t matter that your husband is the Dark Lord, not to me at least.“ At her words, Harry had gotten a dry throat: „Thanks Professor. It’s really a help to know that there will be people who are ready to help me. Even with Voldemort as my husband.“ The professor smiled at him and pressed his shoulder. After McGonagall was gone, Sirius took her seat.

„It was difficult to talk to you in the last day,“ he began. „I know. Voldemort isn’t really the social type,“ Harry grinned. „Harry, how is it, are you feeling fine?“Sirius inquired. Harry shrugged: „He hasn’t really done anything. I think he understands that we have both no choice and that we have to live together. So I guess, I am fine.“ The two men sighed: „Are you really fine with all of this?“ Remus asked, disbelieve evident in his voice. „I mean, you will be married in less than two weeks. Have you ever had a relationship?“ „No, I never even kissed,“ Harry admitted. Sirius groaned and gave his friend a meaningful look. „You won’t give me the bees and birds talk?“ Harry shrugged.

„Look, just let Voldemort take the lead, he will know how to kiss and everything else probably, too. Even if I really don’t know who would freely share a bad with him.“ Sirius said. „I can think about someone,“ Harry retorted. „Who?“ Remus asked. „Bellatrix.“ The two marauders turned green. „I don’t know what is more disgusting, the thought of snakeface having sex or the thought of Bellatrix having sex, or the both doing it together.“ Sirius winced. „Don’t give me images! I have go through with it,“ Harry snapped. „At least he will have a knew body,“ Remus tried to reassure him.

Sirius sobered up again: „So with kissing, let do snakeface all the work. And sex is really not that complicated.“ „Oh no, we won't talk about this!“ Harry said, putting his hands over his ears. „Are you sure you don’t want our advice?“ Remus asked. „Yes, I will just find a book and I don’t think neither of you could help me with sex between two males in any case.“ The men flushed and turned their eyes away. „Ok, pup,“ Remus said „we won’t talk with you about this topic, but if you have any questions at any point, you can always come to us.“ „Thanks,“ Harry said. The friends left and Voldemort broke the silencing spell.

„What was this talk about? You are red like a tomato.“ Harry flushed again: „It was just about... you know...“ Voldemort raised an eyebrow: „Ah, this topic. Are you wiser now?“ Harry shook his head: „No, I didn’t want to talk about it with them. They couldn’t really help me in any case.“ Voldemort dropped the topic: „Shall we call it a night?“

„Sure.”

Author Note:
Hallo everyone :-)
I am just a bit caught up in RL at the moment with my studies.
I have been working on 'A Different Kind of Hero' and three other stories, so I do have some outlines and chapters written.
I should start updating again soon,
Sorry for the delay, but please be patient.
Unfortunately I feel that Aftereffects needs to be re-written, so it will go on HIATUS for the time being.
Not to worry as the others will be even better (in my humble opinion, and that of my beta)
JSG
PS: Thank you for all those with the positive reviews, it really motivates me and keeps me going!
