Former Animosity

3. Curse

3rd Person POV:

Harry took the black rose, and went to his table. No Malfoy in sight and he was supposed to be brewing. Never minding that, he plucked the rose's small petals with his fingers gentle one by one. He felt uneasy now. He felt as if something was happening.

And something was.

Shouting was heard and Harry ran forward to check what was happening. Ron had casted a spell on Malfoy, Malfoy looked distressed but he didn't look hurt.

He was standing perfectly fine, actually. But Ron looked regretful. Harry approached them and with a swish, Malfoy turned around and stopped him.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!"

He said seriously, clearly angry. The tone of his was full of volume, he was demanding me. His eyes were full of fury as he look back to Ron

"What the fuck did you put on me Weasel?!"

Malfoy shouted, while Snape tried to keep him calm, he was in no position to calm. Harry had seriously wondered what happened. He didn't seem hurt, so what was it ?

"I-I..."

Ron stuttered, lowering his wand at once.

"I know you casted some ancient spell on me! Spit it out! Reverse it before anything happens you fucking idiot!"

Malfoy shouted. His face was red and he was seriously mad.

"What's going on?"

Harry's POV:

I asked, stepping forward.

"Potter! Don't!"

I walked forward anyway. Then suddenly, a rope had pulled my leg towards Malfoy's and we collapsed. Nobody could see the scene because of how foggy it had become. I couldn't see what we were doing either. The rope were tying us together all in different positions, we were being moved against our will.

The rope were playing with our bodies as if we were dolls, trying to find the perfect position to put us in. The rope finalized their move by tying us in an intimate position. I've been in worse situations but this is by far the most humiliating thing I have to go through.

The rope tied my arms around Malfoy's neck, Malfoy's hands on my lower back and each other's arms on our waists... It was almost as if we're glued onto each other. Embracing like lovers. We were so close, we couldn't loosen to breathe. Wincing at that thought, I could feel Malfoy's heavy heartbeats. He was panicking.

Malfoy didn't say anything yet, processing things maybe. But so am I. How in Camelot were we supposed to be free of this thing? I could feel Malfoy's body against mine, struggling and squirming uncomfortably to get off.

He groans and slight... whines.

My breath stopped. Never had I ever heard Malfoy whine like that... He whines again, sinking on my shoulder, stoped trying to resist just for a minute. I let him, because it's our resting position and it wouldn't be fair if I didn't let him relax his body only for a moment.

It wasn't long until he shot his head back up, restraining to relax his body.

"Potter! Untie the ropes this instant!"

Draco shouted, while trying to free himself once again.

"I can't!"

"Potter."

Draco said in a dangerous tone while he struggle to get off me. His chin was almost on my shoulder but he held it high, not to rest anything on my shoulder. I took my cue to lean down a bit, to see his face.

"I told you not to come forward."

He said, directly to my face while holding eye contact.

"I thought Ron was hurt."

I said with furrowed brows. Malfoy groans and tilting his head back out of annoyance. It was slightly tilting. My eyebrows slight shot up. His Adam's apple was showing and his neck looks looks hairless, literally. I thought, bite marks would suit him. I think of how I'd bite softly on his flesh. I shuddered to that.

"Maybe you were too daft too notice, he was the one who hexed me!"

He said in anger. His face shot back to mine and our faces were now close. Very much the same like earlier. Nose touching, lips merely connecting and eyes were fixed onto each other. Malfoy looked away, clearly flustered.

"Stop that."

He said once and for all. Harry grins.

Harry's POV:

"Oh Merlin, Harry!"

Ron shouted, getting close to them.

"Don't get close Weasel."

Malfoy warned Ron with a hiss. Ron was taken aback and offended, but thought that it was the most he can do after hexing Malfoy. I sigh.

"What happened before this? Why did Ron hex you?"

I asked Malfoy calmly, with a sympathetic tone.

"That bastard thought it would be funny if he hexed me. A bloody prank if you will. Do you think it's fucking funny to bond someone against their will?! Especially with their enemy!"

Malfoy spat at Ron. I begin to panic 'bond' ? Snape's look were sharp as knives.

"What? N-No! I didn't do anything I pr-"

Ron stutters pathetically.

"What hex spell did he-"

At that point Snape have had enough.

"Everyone out!"

Snape said with a shout. That reminded both me and Malfoy we had an audience.

"Except people involved in this monstrous case."

He said firmly. Ron stood there, sheepishly while Malfoy and I tried our best to not relax. Because if do, our bodies will rest into each other and we both don't want that.

"Mr. Weasley. Undo the curse at once!"

Snape has become impatient and ordered Ron to undo the curse which I so hope he does.

"I... I can't remember the..."

"Oh, hell!"

Draco exclaimed in distress.

"The three of you. Get to Dumbledore's, now."

Both me and Malfoy shot him a look which made him realize.

"You- Oh, fine! I will transport both of you to his office. You, Mr. Weasley, I shall see you there, first thing. If I don't..."

Sanpe's words traveled as he whispered to Ron which made him gulp.

"You don't want to imagine what punishment you will suffer from."

And just like that, Snape quickly covered us with his cape and once it was open, reveals Dumbledore's office. Ron was there, panting. Probably from running the stairs so he'll reach before Snape. He doesn't like his odds of angering him.

Nobody does.

Dumbledore looks up to see us and looked merely shocked. Much more in this state. Snape stood beside us, impatiently, waiting for what Dumbledore would say or what might the solution be.

"This certainly is a surprise. Especially the two of you. Never saw it coming"

He said in amusement. Snape glared at him, which Dumbledore put his hand up, to calm him.

"Well, what happened then ?"

"Mr. Weasley here, has casted a hexing spell that has bonded both Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter."

"Ron?"

Dumbledore asked in such suprise. Snape raised an eyebrow. Me and Malfoy has become much more restless now.

"Yes."

Snape said, unsurely of why Dumbledore was too surprise. Ron was fidgeting with the seam of his shirt, awkward. Dumbledore narrowed his eyes to Snape

"So it wasn't you who did this?"
