*ETA: Ultimately I think it works like the "magical contract" in GoF. It's not that there's any specific thing necessarily that happens if you break it--at least not one that's important. It just means you will do it whether you want to or not. Muggle equivalent to breaking one of those contracts seems to be like breaking a promise to a scary criminal. There is a chance everything will be alright. Or you'll pay for it somehow some time in the future.
