My Everything 2

7

They had just made it outside of the Great Hall about one turn away.

"Shit shit shit!"

"Everyone saw everything. This is so bad!"

And then James put Severus down on the ground and glared, "What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you insane?!"

Severus' head gave a tilt, "Time's up James. It's been three days."

"I... that doesn't fucking matter! And what the hell were you doing anyway?! Did you kiss him?!"

"Yes."

"Why would you-"

"Because you want to." The raven said simply and James felt like he was losing his mind.

"But you're not me! I never said you could bloody well kiss him! Unbelievable, I can't believe that you would do that in front of everyone! Severus would never-"

"I'm not the real Severus, James. But the real Severus knows the truth now, now you just have to get him to kiss you."

"I... you-" James couldn't form the words, Sirius and Remus were at a complete loss for what to say as well when-

"Silencio!"

Sirius suddenly grabbed at his throat and his eyes went wide at the realisation that he couldn't speak.

"Langlock!"

And then he hit the floor. All four blinked and looked up to find a very pissed off Slytherin headed towards them, wand in hand. James' eyes went wide, Remus tensed and Sirius quickly reached for his wand but that wouldn't help him now.

"Incarcerus!" Remus fell to the floor in a total body bind and James quickly took out his own wand and held it aimed at Snape.

"Potter." Snape spat, eyes narrowed into a very dark glare as he flicked his wand towards the double beside him, "You have ten seconds to explain before I blast you into oblivion."

James swallowed hard, "I-"

"I already told you. He loves you." The double said oh so unhelpfully and Snape just sneered at him.

"Potter. Explain. Now."

"I... he's... he's not real. He's a spell."

"A spell for what?"

James took in a deep breath and then lowered his wand, Snape seemed to falter and his lips twitched into a frown just as the Gryffindor spoke.

"I'm in love with you."

Silence.

"What?"

"I'm in love with you and he... this is a manifestation of my feelings, be-because of a spell that makes your desires come to life? Look the point is; he's not real, I'm in love with you and if you kiss me, he'll go away and never bother anyone again."

Snape stared at him like he'd grown a second head.

"What?"

"C'mon James, you can do better." Severus said and James glared at the double.

"How else am I supposed to explain this?"

"You-"

"Finite Incentatum!"

Snape said with his wand aimed at the double but nothing happened.

"Remus tried that already." The double said with a sigh, "You have to kiss him to make me go away. Like this." And suddenly Severus had reached out to grab the sides of James' head and pulled him down for a kiss. James' eyes went wide-

"STOP THAT!" Snape screamed, seemingly horrified at the image of himself in Gryffindor colours kissing James bloody Potter. He'd paled considerably and his stance wavered, not sure if going closer to the two was worth yanking them apart.

James was flushed a deep red when Severus broke it and seemed to stare at Snape in confusion.

"Sever-"

"You over there, right now." Snape hissed flicking his wand over to the wall. Severus obeyed without protest and then Snape's eyes were back on James again. "How did you do this and why?"

"It was an accident. And I already told you..." Then a thought came to mind, "Let's go to the library."

"What for?"

"I'll show you the book, where the spell is and you can see it for yourself."

Snape paused, "What's the book's name?"

"What?"

"The name of the book that this supposed spell is in, what is it called? I'll go to the library alone and look for it myself."

"But-"

"If you think I'm willing to go anywhere with you after what happened last year then you're sorely mistaken. The name of the book and the page."

James' lips pursed for a brief moment, "But, when are you going to go?"

"That's none of your business."

"You have to do it tonight." Severus suddenly piped up, drawing their attention, "If you're going to break the spell then you have to do it tonight."

"Why?" Snape growled out, glaring darkly at his double.

"Time's up, if you don't break the spell, a penalty will be enforced."

James took a step towards the other, "What penalty?"

"You'll be forcefully bonded," The double said with a shrug, "Forever."
