Greg House slept peacefully, curled protectively around his leg,
swamped by many layers of bedding. He didn't notice the growing
light in the room or the faint warmth in his body, he did however
notice when he was yanked through the ethers to land unceremoniously
in the Infirmary of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Well this is damn interesting" Greg commented wryly from the floor.
He was in what looked to be an old-fashioned hospital and the people
standing around him looked eclectic to say the least. The people
surrounding him were dressed in cloaks and the eldest of the three
looked ancient. The ancient man smiled.

"Welcome my boy to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I am
very sorry to have summoned you here without giving you prior
warning but it was of the utmost importance. I am sure you know who
I am but I shall introduce myself none the less, my name is Albus
Dumbledore, and who might you be." Greg stared at the ancient man,
Albus he supposed. What was clear was that he was senile, he
wondered who the other two were, one looked like a nurse but the
other looked like the strict schoolteachers of Greg's youth. He
turned to face the nurse.

"Nurse, I think you should take the patient back to his bed, tut tut
shouldn't let them wander off, I know it's fun but isn't letting the
senile kidnap people a bit cruel?" The old man frowned.

"I am not senile dear boy, and you have not been kidnapped, you were
summoned." Greg rolled his eyes.

"Okkkaaayyyy, and who was I summoned by, God, Allah, Jehovah,
Aliens? Aliens would be cool if they held off the anal probes at
least, a prostate check is bad enough." The old man frowned even
deeper.

"We summoned you, using the Visistratum potion, surely you have
heard of it." Greg reached for his Vicodin and quickly realised that
being in his pyjamas he didn't have them. He swore quietly and let
out a heavy sigh.

"The what?" The old man began to explain.

"The Visistratum Potion, summons two bonded soulmates into close
proximity so an injured partner can heal quickly. Every Soulpair
learns of it when they bond, though I must say I was very surprised
to learn Severus was bonded." Greg was beginning to loose patience.

"What are you babbling about, witchcraft, potions, soulmates, I have
no idea what you want with me but please put me back where you found
me." The old man blinked, blinked again and settled into a shocked
expression.

"You're a Muggle." He breathed. Greg pushed himself into a sitting
position.

"I don't know what that is but it sounds rude. If you don't explain
it I may have to pout." The old man still looked at Greg with a
shocked expression. Then he seemed to come to his senses, he shut
his jaw and schooled his expression blank.

"A Muggle is someone who is non magical." Greg raised an eyebrow.

"Magic? Oh goody we have the full spectrum of insanity." The old man
chuckled.

"Not insanity my boy, just something you haven't encountered before.
Magic is very much real and something we use everyday." Greg snorted.

"Right, prove it." The old man pulled a stick from his cloak and
Greg floated from the floor onto a bed. It was Greg's turn to be
stunned.

"There is also the fact that you are currently in Scotland and it is
only a few hours since you fell asleep. Now, what is your name dear
boy?" Greg answered on reflex.

"Dr Gregory House." The old man smiled.

"A doctor, medical or doctorate?"

"Medical"

"Well I'm sure you are very busy then, we should be able to return
you home in a few hours, you should probably sleep, conserve your
energy." He moved to leave the room and Greg sat up quickly.

"Wait! You can't just say that and leave, explain everything." The
old man sighed.

"Magic is everywhere, but to save ourselves from being persecuted or
martyred by the non-magical population we magic users have hidden
ourselves in our own world, above, below and slightly to the left of
yours. We have our own government, national sports and even
different animals. We also have our own schools, Hogwarts is one of
the most prestigious in all of Europe. Our curriculum includes
Charms, Transfiguration, Herbology and Potions. " He took a
breath. "This is what you require extra information on. I will begin
with explaining a soulbond. Every being has a predestined mate, many
people may never encounter their soulmate and go on to have
perfectly happy lives, but those who do meet and join with their
soulmate are very happy and the bond comes with other bonuses. A
soulbond is not readily apparent, even to the pair involved, there
is no flash of light as they meet, no great sign they are
predestined they just have the urge to be together, but this urge
can be fought just like any other, this means there are actually
very few soulbonds. There is a slightly higher number in the
wizarding world but we believe that it is mostly because of the lack
of stigma surrounding same sex soulbonds. A soulbond occurs during
the consummation of a relationship and the formation of the bond is
accompanied by a short white glow. Soulbonds vary but most allow
limited empathy between partners and the alibility for one partner
to feed off the energy of the other. That is the reason you were
brought here, The Visistratum Potion is used to bring one member of
a soulbond to the other when one is injured. The presence of their
bonded can bring a person back from the very doors of death. And we
needed you for just that reason, Severus was badly injured tonight
and his body was shutting down, but now you have arrived he is
recovering." The old man smiled. Most of the old man's speech was
completely forgotten as Greg focused on one word.

"He? I think you're really mixed up, I've certainly never had sex
with a man, I may have gotten pretty out of it a few times, but I
think that is something I would remember." The old man really smiled
then.

"But you wouldn't." Greg frowned, puzzled.

"How do you know that?" The old man drew a parchment from his cloak
and he began to read.

"Albus, if you've received this letter I am dying or already dead.
If you have possession of my body at this time and I am still living
I ask you to use the Visistratum Potion. Yes I have a soulbond. We
have been bonded for 8 years although he will not remember our
bonding. When it became clear that the Dark Lord was not destroyed I
deemed it to dangerous for my bonded to be exposed to the danger to
come and I wiped all evidence of myself from his memory. It would be
better for all parties if you removed the mindwipe, Greg doesn't
deal well with being left in the dark. Severus Snape.

I received this letter two hours ago, it was set to appear to me in
the event of Severus' imminent death. Naturally I was very surprised
but none the less I activated Severus' Portkey. When he appeared he
was in bad shape and was very close to death and so I ordered Poppy"
The old man gestured to the nurse next to him. "To administer the
Visistratum Potion. Unsurprisingly she was rather shocked but she
administered the potion and you soon arrived." Greg was still
confused but now also angry.

"This Severus, he asked you to remove the mind wipe, I assume this
would return my memory and yet until I challenged you you never even
mentioned it. Were you going to remove this mind wipe or leave me
like this?" The old man looked flustered.

"You're handling the existence of our world very well Dr House for
most Muggles it is a rather nasty surprise." Greg scowled.

"I'm trained in nasty surprises, now would you please answer my
question." The old man looked briefly angry but acquiesced.

"It would be quite a shock to your system to have those memories
returned so suddenly, especially after a shock such as this." The
old man smiled benignly. Greg looked down his nose at him.

"As I said before I can handle nasty shocks and as Severus suggested
it was removed I believe I'd like it removed." The old man sighed.

"If you are quite sure." Greg waved his hand

"Go right ahead." The Old Man held up his wand.

"Reversus Obliviate."

And the world went dark.
