// THIS IS AN OLD CHAPTER. THE NEW CHAPTERS ARE IN VOLUME 2. YOU CAN READ THESE CHAPTERS IF YOU WANT SOME INSIGHT ON WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN LATER BUT SOME EVENTS CAN BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW CHAPTERS.

"Lana, can you explain to me why you are here?" There is no more warmth in the president's smile.

"Dad, stop! You're scaring my friends! We met Sean when we were at a party. Samantha canceled at the last minute and Sean offered us to sleep here so we didn't have to go looking for a hotel in the middle of the night. "

"You should know that I have been very worried about your whereabouts, the agent that I sent to watch you was found dead, emptied of his blood behind an abandoned factory. I sent half of my agents looking for you. " Thank you, Death for eliminating the only witness who could have told the president of the congress that I touched his daughter!

"I ordered a purge against the vampire group that had hunting parties in town and I was afraid the next body I was going to find would be yours."

"Well, I'm alive and well, so stop terrorizing my friends. You've already scared all my boyfriend's away one after the other! I at least have the right to have friends! "

"Fine. Mister Bones, I'm sorry but I have to withdraw my offer for lunch. I have to bring Lana home. I hope we will see each other again very soon to see the results of your work."

"You can count on me; I'll do it as soon as possible!"

"Fine, I'm waiting to hear some good news from you." He leaves the hotel room with Lana who left with my sweatshirt.

My legs weaken and I sit on the floor. Samael joins me.

"Are you okay?"

"I saw my whole life pass before my eyes in a second."

"You almost died there, man, the old Quahog isn't really known for his forgiveness."

"I think I'll leave you to put the most distance between this town and me while things settle down. Continue to enjoy the room with Kayla for the rest of the day, I've already paid for everything anyway."

"Do you think we'll see each other again?"

"Maybe, I'll probably finish my schooling in Ilvermorny, so surely."

"Then take care of yourself Sean and stop playing with death." He smirked at his own joke, if he knew I really know Death.

I leave the hotel to Apparate in Mystic Falls and then I come home through the fireplace. It's only when I'm back in the old mansion that I can finally relax a bit. Why, by all the fucking undead witches in this world, does every time I find a girl, I like she have a freak family?

I knock on the door of the large office and wait outside for my mother to invite me in.

"Sean, you're so pale, what happened?"

"Too long to explain. What is this new job you wanted to give me?"

"Well, this is a request to modernize the Unbreakable Vow, the goal would be to create an object or a spell that would bind two individuals and if anyone ever broke the oath, there could be consequences other than death. "

"Do they want some kind of magic contract?" Is that really the huge project?

"They didn't say specifically but I imagine it must look like it. How long do you think you need to make a prototype? "

"I imagine I could take the Unbreakable Vow spell and modify it to achieve the desired results. I would say two days or so."

"Fine, keep me updated on the progress of the project."

"Just out of curiosity, how much are they giving us for this order?"

She opens a drawer in her desk and pulls out a thick letter, I examine the contents of the letter until I get to the pay. Ten million Galleons! Ten million Galleons for the invention, and the establishment of production and a supply line to the United States. But for that price any MACUSA agent who knew a thing or two about runes could have made them. Well, I don't plan on spitting on such a sum that requires so little work. I go up to my room and sit down at my desk.

I underestimated the complexity of the project, but I think I am finished, I leave it to my mother to find two guinea pigs to try my magic contract. The operation is quite simple, the spell is written on the borders of the parchment. The people fulfill the obligations and the rights of all the parties and then decide on the consequences in case of breach of contract, if the consequence of breach of contract is not specified, it is by default death. The contract cannot be destroyed by any of the parties who sign it unless it is a unilateral contract then the party who benefits from it can cancel it. It's basically a simple sheet of paper that forces you to stick to your words. It only took me three days to create this piece of parchment.

"Mom, I'm done."

"Ah, well, I was just about to come and see where you were. You could maybe go deliver the prototype if you have nothing to do. I still had President Quihog on the magiphone yesterday asking me about you "A big drop of cold sweat slowly slips down my back.

"If you don't mind, I'd rather you send someone else. I'm not feeling very well, I think I'll go lie down a bit."
