Forced Bonding

Chapter Six:

Thank so much to all of you. Your support means so much to me. I am happy to hear that so many of you enjoy my story. And yana, I know that you want Draco to be dominate, but majority rules. But that does not mean that he cannot still manipulate Harry. He is a Slytherin after all. Enjoy!

After taking their showers, Harry and Draco sat down to a game of chess. Much to Harry’s dismay, Draco was as good at chess as Ron was. He trounced him game after game.

“Merlin Harry! As much as I like winning, I would like it better if you actually gave me a bit of a challenge. You are pathetic at this.”

“Well EXCUSE ME! I am sorry if I am not up to your standards when it comes to chess. I have been a bit preoccupied, what with an evil Dark Lord trying to kill me and all. I mean, I suppose I could have skipped a training session and taken a few lessons in chess, but then I figured I would rather BE ALIVE THAN PLAY A GOOD GAME OF CHESS!”

“Geez Harry. You don’t have to get all bent out of shape; I was just making an observation. If you want, I can teach you. You sure are a sensitive bloke.”

Harry just stared at Draco, who smirked back at him.

“Draco Malfoy! You were trying to get me pissed off, weren’t you? You bloody tosser!”

“Well, I had to do something to break the monotony. It’s bloody boring in here. I mean, how much more can we learn about each other? We have learned all about each other’s childhoods, and our future plans and all that rot. What more do they want from us? I‘m dying to go flying” Draco was practically whining now.

“Hell, at this point I wouldn’t mind studying with Hermione.” agreed Harry.

“What do you think Weasley and Granger are going to do when they find out about this?”

“They should already know. I lucked out, Dumbledore promised to let them after we were locked in here. Hopefully Hermione got Ron calmed down a bit. Knowing them, she has been in the library the whole time looking up different bonding rituals. By the time we get out of here, she will be an expert on them.”

Draco could tell that Harry was extremely fond of his friends. This made Draco extremely jealous. He had no real friends. He had to associate with only the people from Slytherin to keep up appearances, and he couldn’t trust any of them like Harry trusted Weasley and Granger.

“Do you think Weasley will try and kill me when we get out of here? Because I really don’t want to die. If I did, I wouldn’t be getting bonded to you.”

“Nah. He will probably yell and try to hex you a few times, but he will come around. Especially when he finds out about all the information your father is giving us. Once Voldemort is dead we can finally be free to live our lives. He wants to get married to Hermione and have a bunch of kids, just like his mum and dad.”

“You and I won’t be free Harry. Not ever.”

“I know. But according to Dumbledore, we will be drawn to each other, so maybe we will be happy in the long run. I am not saying we will love each other, but I don’t want to spend the rest of my life being miserable and fighting with you. We might be able to make it work.”

“Did you ever want a family Harry?”

“Yes I did. But I am gay remember? Even if we weren’t going through this, I would never be able to have children.”

“I always wanted a family. I figured I would just adopt or something. There will be plenty of orphaned kids after this war ends.”

Harry was surprised that Draco was talking so candidly to him about this. While they had told each other things over that past day and a half, they had never gotten so personal before.

“In the muggle world, some women who can’t have children pay another woman carry their children for them. If they are married, they have their husbands impregnate another woman and they pay for all the woman’s medical bills too. She is called a surrogate mother.”

“We do something like that here too. I guess muggles and wizards aren’t completely different after all.”

“No, I guess not. Oh good. Lunch is here. I’m starving.”

“How can you be starving? You ate to rival Crabbe and Goyle at breakfast, and you have been snacking all morning on the sweets Dobby brought us last night!”

“What? I am a growing boy. Plus, I need all the energy I can get to deal with you!”

“Are you saying I am difficult?”

“Yes I am. And I have a feeling you are going to be high maintenance too! I am going to have a bloody hell of a time living with you. I can tell already.”

“I believe I am insulted by that.”

“You shouldn’t feel insulted when it’s the truth.”

“You are such a prat Potter!”

“You know you love me!”

“You wish. Let’s just eat. If you are shoveling food in your mouth, you won’t be talking. Even you wouldn’t be crude enough to eat with our mouth full.”

Harry laughed and did as he was told. And to Draco’s relief, he did have impeccable table manners. Seven years of Hermione’s mothering and bossiness paid off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day passed much in the same way. They bantered back and forth, insulting each other good-naturedly, but not talking about anything too personal. Their last conversation weighed heavily on them. They both wouldn’t mind a family, but being homosexual puts limits on that. Not to mention that fact that Harry did not know if he would survive the war. Since Harry had come to terms with his sexuality, he had thought hard over the options he had for having a family of his own. He had decided early on that if he met the right person, and they both decided to start a family, he wanted to do the surrogate mother option. That way, at least one of them would be the biological father. He just didn’t know if it would work out that way with Draco. They had a very volatile relationship, and Harry knew that if they couldn’t learn to get along with each other he would never bring a child into their lives. He was determined to make it work so that his dreams of a big family could come true. As a child, he always dreamed of having a family that would actually love each other. Even if he and Draco couldn’t love each other, they could at least be friends. He wanted that much at least. He deserved that much.


That night, they climbed into bed with out arguing with each other, and fell right to sleep. They were both eager to get out of the room, and the faster they went to sleep, the faster morning would come.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning they woke to someone knocking on the door.

“Someone’s at the door Harry.” he mumbled.

“So, go answer it you prat.” he mumbled back, burrowing further underneath the covers.

“No. I am too comfortable. You go answer it. And don’t call me a prat.”

“I am not getting up Malfoy!”

The next thing Harry knew, he found himself sprawled on the floor.

“I know you did not just knock me out of the bed!”

“Of course not, I would ever do such a thing. But since you are already up, could you please see who is pounding on the door?”

Draco’s face was the picture of innocence.

“You can cut out the innocence shite Malfoy, I know you better than that.” Harry grumbled, but got up and answered the door anyway.

“It’s about bloody time Potter. We have been standing out here for ages.” sneered Professor Snape as he shoved his way into the room.

“Hello Draco. I hope this has not been to rough on you. Potter wasn’t too unbearable was he?”

“Hello Severus. No, he was fine. Hello Father, I did not realize you were still here. Were you in the castle the whole time?”

“No Draco. Dumbledore notified me last night that he was letting you out a day early, since you both already agreed to the bonding. We came to get you for breakfast. We are having it in the Headmaster’s office, so we can go through some things. You mother is here also, she is waiting in the office. She is most interested in meeting you Mr. Potter. She wants to thank you for saving her son,” said Lucius, acknowledging Harry for the first time.

“I would like to meet her too sir. Draco has told me a lot about her.”

“Well, you should probably take a shower first Potter. Not that that would improve your appearance much.” said Professor Snape, with his ever-present sneer.

“Severus! Why are you being such a bloody prat? He is doing my family a great favor you know. That least you can do is show some gratitude,” admonished Lucius.

“Yes, precious Potter saving the day again. Knowing him, he is just doing it for the attention, so he can gloat to his entire house about how he saved the whole Malfoy family from the Dark Lord.”

“That’s not true! I hate all the attention, and you know it! And I will not gloat! This is hard for me too you know!”

“20 points from Gryffindor for talking back to a professor! Now, hurry up. We don’t have all day!”


Harry and Draco each took a turn in the shower, and they were on their way to the Headmaster’s office, with Harry still fuming from the way Snape had treated him. He thought that Professor Snape really needed to grow up. The fact that he still held on to his anger over what happened with his father and godfather was pathetic. He could not wait until they graduated, so he could tell him what he thought of him without risking all of his house points.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Harry entered the Headmaster’s office a few minutes later, the sight of a beautiful blond woman greeted him. He may be gay, but he could still appreciate a beautiful woman when he saw one.

“Mr. Potter. I am so pleased to meet you. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing for my family. I know that you are probably sacrificing a lot to do this.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Malfoy. Draco has told me a lot about you.”

“Please, call me Narcissa. We are going to be family soon, after all.”


“Then you have to call me Harry. It’s only fair.”


“Mother, if you’re done flirting with Harry, maybe you could spare a moment to give me a hug. I am your son after all.”

Harry could not tell if Draco was jealous or if he was just being sarcastic, since his face held only love when he looked at his mother.

“Oh hush up you big baby. I was getting to you.” said Narcissa, giving her son the requested hug and a few pecks on the cheek.


“Mum! I said a hug! You don’t have to slobber on me!” he whined, but his pleased look betrayed his feelings.

After the pleasantries, they sat down at the breakfast table with Dumbledore.

He soon called the meeting to order.

“Good morning everyone. Our meal will arrive shortly, so let’s get on with our meeting. As you all know, Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy have agreed to the bonding. I want to go over the particulars of the ritual, answer any questions any of you may have, and set a date to perform the ritual. Please hold any questions you may have until I am done outlining the ritual.

“The ritual will have to take place at midnight. We will do it here, in my office. A circle will be set, with specific runes drawn all the way around it. Lucius will have to draw the runes, since he is basically giving ownership of his son over to Mr. Potter. Once that is done, they will have to enter the circle, and Lucius will close it and leave. No one will be in the room except the boys and myself.

“Harry, you will have to prepare Draco for intercourse. Everything you will need will already be in the circle. On the stroke of midnight, you will begin intercourse with Mr. Malfoy, while I chant the ritual. You MUST climax at the same time. It is imperative to the ritual that you do. The ritual will be complete after that, and over the course of several months, the bond will strengthen. After that, you will be required to reestablish the bond every year on that date. If you do not, you will both weaken and become sick, and could very well die. You do not have to have intercourse at any other time, but I believe that, as the bond grows stronger, you both will feel compelled to. Now, does anybody have any questions?”

“Sir, do you HAVE to be in the room while we shag? Because I am very uncomfortable with that,” said Harry, red with embarrassment that he was talking about sex in front of all these people.

“I am afraid so Harry, but I will put a screen up. The ritual requires that I be in the room, but not to actually witness the act.”

They both sighed with relief at that statement.

“I have a problem Sir. Why do I have to be bottom? I have never bottomed before and I don’t want to start now.” complained Draco

“I am afraid there is no way around it. You are being bonded to Harry, and he will have to be dominate while performing the ritual, and when you have to reestablish the bond every year. But, if you decided to be intimate outside of those situations, you can do what you wish.”

At this point, both of the boys were flaming red with embarrassment, and they both wanted to sink into the floor.

“When is the ritual to be performed?” asked Narcissa.

“In two days time. We need to get it done as quickly as possible. This gives us time to prepare the circle and do the ritual before Voldemort is expecting Draco to be turned over. Ahhh, breakfast is here. Everybody dig in.”

Everybody started eating except for Harry and Draco. Narcissa noticed this and started admonishing them.

“You two need to eat. Rituals like this take a lot out of a person, and you will need all your strength. Neither of you are allowed to leave this table until you eat a little bit of everything. Do I make myself clear?”

“Yes Mum!” they answered in unison, which made them blush again and Narcissa beam with happiness.

After they ate, a thought occurred to Harry.

“Professor, what are we to do until the ceremony? Draco and I can’t be seen together or word will get back to Voldemort.”

“You two are to stay in your rooms until then,” he answered.

“But you said we could come out a day early! Now you are sticking us back in there? That’s unfair!” he cried.

“Not those rooms Harry. We have prepared a suite of rooms for the both of you. You can’t stay in the dorms after you’ve bonded, so we had an apartment of sorts made up for you. It is right by Gryffindor Tower. I know that you would not like to be separated from your friends, and since we can’t trust the Slytherins, that was the best location. Your friends will be able to visit, and you can use your spare time decorating the rooms to your liking. Would you like to go see them now?” explained Dumbledore.

They both said yes and were quickly led to the rooms. It was still early, so the halls were empty. Lucius and Narcissa stayed in Dumbledore’s office just in case. It wouldn’t do for them to be seen traipsing through the halls of Hogwarts with Harry Potter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The ‘apartment’ was very nice. It had a small common room that doubled as an office, with a couch and two armchairs in a half circle in front of the fire, with a coffee table in front of them. There were two desks on the opposite wall with two medium sized bookcases between them. There were two doors, one led to a bedroom and the other a very nice bathroom, with a bathtub large enough to hold three people and a separate shower.

“I am afraid that you will still have to share a bed. The bond will not allow you to sleep in different rooms, but the bed is big enough that you will both be comfortable.”

And indeed it was. It looked larger than a king sized bed, and quite comfortable. The rest of the room was large too. There was another fireplace, with a love seat in front of it, and two armoires on another wall, and a large chest of drawers on the other. It was a very cozy room and even Draco couldn’t find anything wrong with it.

“I hope you are both pleased with these rooms. We wished to make you both as comfortable as possible, given your circumstances. I will see you both later. Once again, your meals will be brought to you, but you will be able to have visitors if you wish. Please do not leave the rooms. The Slytherins believe that you are locked away getting ready for your bonding with the Dark Lord, and if you are seen wandering that halls, it will raise suspicion.”

“Yes Sir. And thank you for the rooms.”

“Your welcome Mr. Malfoy. I will see you in two days, unless you have any questions. If you do, feel free to fire-call me in my office. And remember, no intercourse until the ritual.”

Draco and Harry were still blushing long after the headmaster left.
