A curious, middle-aged Potter made his way through the twisting alleyways of London.

How he had gotten there? Simple.

His old friend, [Y/N] [L/N], had sent her [ cat/owl/frog/etc. ], who he remembered from their school days, which had a letter in it's possession. It contained only two words in [ messy/neat/etc. ] handwriting.

"Follow me."

He recognized that handwriting to be his [ nationality ] friend's, due to the endless letters she sends and has sent throughout their entire friendship.

And so, his quest began. It may not be as adventurous nor as dangerous as all the other quests he has been on, but for now, this will suffice.

[Y/N]'s [ cat/owl/frog/etc. ] ran in a medium pace; fast enough to get to their destination but slow enough for the Potter to catch up.

Harry hid his wand in his coat's pocket, as to not cause any problems with muggles in the surrounding area. He knew he could need it in a while, but he'd rather die than lose his right to be a wizard.

His shoes' heels clacked against the dank pavement, the squishy feeling of stepping on moss never leaving him as he was led even deeper into London's forbidden places.

Finally, the blasted animal stopped running and stood in front of a faded, red brick wall.

Harry held onto it, panting as he tried to catch his breath. "Bloody hell . . ."

He stood up straight and  fixed his coat and pushed up his glasses. "Well? What are you waiting for?"

The animal visibly scoffed and pressed it's head against one of the bricks that looked as if it was scratched at and the brick wall suddenly had vein-like lines that glowed [f/c] coming from where the animal place it's head, then the brick wall turned into dust.

The animal started running again and Harry sighed before jogging along after it, being careful not to trip down the stairs.

As Harry descended the stairs, the wall had built itself up again and the entire stairway was plunged into darkness.

Harry brought out his wand, though with difficulty as it was so bloody dark, and whispered "lumos". A small light came from his wand and he smiled as he followed the [ cat/owl/frog/etc. ] down towards unknown depths.

After around a few minutes of endless stairs, he found himself in a dark hallway.

He walked forward, seeing the shadow of the [ cat/owl/frog/etc. ] merge with the darkness, then broke into a sprint. He heard bricks creating a wall, blocking off the stairway behind them.

Suddenly, he heard soft music playing, specifically [ genre ]. Candles appeared and they lit up the hallway, making a clearer path towards a door.

He was curious as to why the [ cat/owl/frog/etc. ] wasn't there anymore, but shrugged it off. It probably ran into the door.

Harry put back his wand into his pocket and walked to the door, opening it and walking into what looked to be a cave of sorts.

Well, a modernized cave.

The walls were painted stark white, decorated with expensive-looking paintings. The furniture hinted that this was the living room.

"[Y/N], you have a nice home," Harry whistled, looking at the moving paintings of beautiful sceneries. "I heard that you went to Korea for a bit." He moved to look at a moving painting of a boy, face covered by white cherry blossoms.

"I did, it was enjoyable," A feminine voice said, a figure emerging from one of the dark-colored doors. "The food was amazing. I should've taken you and your family to come with me!"

The figure had [length] [color] hair, weirdly darkened [e/c] eyes, [s/c] skin, and a pair of sweatpants and a crop top clinging onto her body.

"Make yourself feel at home," She smiled. "The coat rack is over there by the couch."

"Thanks."

By the time Harry took off his coat, a wand was up to his neck.

"[Y/N], what—"

"Harry Potter," A new figure emerged from one of the doors. "Glad to see you're looking better than usual. Last time I saw you, you were a blubbering fool over Cederic Diggory's body." Ribbons tied themselves onto Harry's limbs, lifting him up in mid-air.

The new figure stood next to who Harry thought was "[Y/N]". He had the same features as "[Y/N]", but wore a turtleneck and sweatpants.

"My beautiful [ pet's name ] did so well in luring you to me," He chuckled, putting a hand under "[Y/N]"'s chin, her moving into his hand's warmth. "The name's Hemmingway. You know, the dark wizard. The Death Eater. The one and only who helped kill your little man-crush?"

Harry could only stay silent. At this, Hemmingway huffed and put a hand on his hips in a sassy manner.

"I'd think you would've tried to kill me right this instant, Harry Potter," Hemmingway sigh in a disappointed manner. "Fine, here's a plot twist; my name is [Y/N] Hemmingway. Happy?"

"You . . . you almost killed my son!" Harry growled after regaining his strength.

"Oh, finally you talked." [ pet's name ] laughed, looking at her nails.

"Indeed. How fascinating," [Y/N] smiled, doing motions with his [f/c] wand and lowering the ribbons on Harry's limbs, then caressed Harry's face. "I've got the boy who lived and the boy who nearly married my [ pet's name ] under my fingertips." He growled, then put back on a smile.

"What do you want?" Harry asked, a disgusted expression on his face.

"What do I want?" [Y/N] laughed. "I want," he lowered a ribbon, holding Harry's hand and removed his ring from his ring finger, "this." He smiled and dropped it, [ pet's name ] catching it and playing with it.

"You tried stopping me, time and time again," [Y/N] said, a frown on his handsome features. "And I fell for you, time and time again. It seems fair that I take you as my husband."

"Wh-what?" Harry stuttered, ceasing to struggle from his restraints.

"I can obliviate Ginny and your sons, they needn't be hurt," [Y/N] walked away, hips swaying in an almost tempting manner. "If you accept my offer. Don't worry, ah, Lovegood, was it? She'll take your place."

At this, Harry was speechless, his mind running around places.

"Well?" [Y/N] seemed impatient. "Ginny will be in good hands. Lovegood and I have made the deal. All I need," He closed the gap between him and Harry, kissing him briefly, then moving away, "is your love."

Harry looked shocked. Most especially when he saw the saddened look in [Y/N]'s eyes compared to his emotionless expression. Then it clicked.

Everything. Everything [Y/N], Hemmingway, whoever he was, did. Everything he did was for him.

The years he put [ pet's name ] in Hogwarts, the people he had killed, the deals he made, the plans he thought of; all for Harry.

He felt himself being lowered, the ribbons unlacing from his limbs.

"Master?" [ pet's name stood up from the floor worriedly, sensing her master's distress.

"Go on, Potter," [Y/N] looked away. "The door's open for you to leave." At this, he flicked his wrist his wand was in and the door creaked open.

[Y/N] heard a sigh and steps moving away. Tears pricked at his eyes.

Then he heard the door close.

[Y/N]'s head snapped up in confusion.

"Promise me Ginny will be in good hands, alright?"
