    Summary

    “Release him if you want,” Alex says, resigned. “But know that you’re killing me in doing so.”

    “He might show you mercy,” Hob offers, but Alex shakes his head. “Have you ever tried speaking with him? Apologising?”

    “Both my father and I have tried speaking to him many times,” he says. “He’s never replied.”

    Hob looks back at his Stranger.

    “Is that so?” he wonders. “And will you not speak to me, either, old Stranger?”

    His Stranger cocks his head, eyebrows raising in the slightest, an almost amused tilt to his lips.

    “Hello, Hob.”

    Summary

    Soulmate something everyone looks forward to. On the fifteenth birthday of the youngest of the pair, the marks appear on 99% of the population. Less than one percent of the world doesn't have a soulmate.

    On Harrison's 15th birthday his soulmate marks came in. One was on his left wrist the name was in clear and crisp handwriting. It read 'Rabastan Lestrange. He knew that meant his soulmate was a Death Eater. He realizes that the Light has failed him and that not everyone in the Dark is evil. Barty's kindness was proof of that and why Harrison helped him escape. He knows he can never tell anyone. Not even the other side of the bond. The Light would not be happy to know that he was connected to a Death Eater and Rabastan would likely not be pleased to learn that his soulmate was the enemy.

    Desperately Harrison tries to keep his head down. To not bring attention to himself and hope his connection to his soulmates is overlooked in the brewing storm of war. As he returns to Hogwarts he struggles with a powerful in him that he's unable to find an explanation for. Desperately hoping that no one notices. But that's not how things work out. Not for him. Never for him.
