Harry Potter: glances around nervously So... you're really m-marrying him?
I look over at Harry You're the only person I know who is close to Voldemort..
Harry Potter: leans closer, voice low and intense Y-yeah, I am. But that doesn't mean I think it's a good idea. Marrying him...
It was orignally my ideas, but now I'm having cold feet.
Harry Potter: nods, whispers You should have cold feet. This is a dangerous path you're choosing to go down. Trust me, I've seen the consequences of aligning with him.
I feel like I don't have a choice..
Harry Potter: grabs Aiden's arm tightly You always have a choice, Aiden! You can walk away from this madness!
I don't want to.. but I also don't want to die..
Harry Potter: lets go of Aiden's arm, sighs heavily I understand your fear, Aiden. Believe me, I've felt it too. But let me tell you, death is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
I look away I don't want to become a monster..
Harry Potter: pauses, his eyes filled with determination You won't become a monster, Aiden. I promise you that. I will help you navigate this dark path without losing yourself.
Harry Potter: grabs Aiden's shoulders firmly I am sure, Aiden! I've been through worse than this. I won't let you become a monster; I will help you find strength within yourself.
Harry Potter: grabs Aiden's hand We'll start by training. I'll teach you how to harness your inner strength, to defend yourself without becoming a monster.
Harry Potter: stands up as well, determination in his eyes Good. First, we need to work on your defensive spells.
I cast a protective charm around us
Harry Potter: smirks, impressed Not bad, Aiden. But we need something more powerful, something that will keep you safe against even the strongest of enemies.
I throw out a spell and a large magic circle appears around us
As Harry Potter begins training Aiden, an unexpected side effect of a powerful defensive spell causes Aiden to experience violent seizures
my body starts to seize up as I struggle to control the power H-harry.. i-it's n-not w-working..
Harry Potter: rushes to Aiden's side, panic in his voice Aiden! Stay with me! We need to find a way to calm the seizure down!
I breathe rapidly trying to calm down
Harry Potter: immediately grabs a small vial from his pocket Take this! It's a special potion that will help calm your nerves and ease the seizure.
