The Bothersome Bond

by Elsin

Summary:

Look, Harry never asks for the ruse to become even more complicated than it already was. It just keeps happening to her.

Rigel stared at the horse standing just outside the Hogwarts gates. The horse stared back.

It was a brilliant white horse with deep blue eyes and silver hooves, and Rigel had a bad feeling about this.

:Welcome, Chosen,: said a voice inside her mind.

:No,: she said immediately. :Go choose someone else.: She sighed aloud.

:It is not so easy,: said the horse, the Companion. :You are my Chosen.:

Rigel frowned. :Will Archie be Chosen? Has he been?:

:I don't know, but why...:

:Well,: said Rigel, :there's this law in Britain, see...:

:Oh,: said the Companion, shortly thereafter. :Oh dear.:
