Chapter 1

Draco Malfoy paced back and forth in his room while Pansy Parkinson sat on a chair in the corner
watching him. He was fretting about a problem that concerned both of them. They had been
informed when they came home for the summer break that at the end of the next school year they
were to married, no questions asked.

Pansy truly cared for Draco, but did not want to be forced to marry him like this. She also knew that
Draco did not return her feelings, he had his sights set on someone totally different. She knew she
was the totally wrong gender for Draco to even consider. They had gotten together today to try and
figure a way out of the marriage.

‘I can’t believe she even suggested this. The idea is totally preposterous.’ Draco thought to himself
before turning to Pansy. “Why do you think they would even help us? I mean we’ve done nothing
but insult and cause problems for them the last six years. We’re talking about the bloody ‘Golden
Trio’ here. They are not likely to forgive us of our past wrongs. They think I’m a fucking Death
Eater for crying out loud.”

“Draco, you know as well as I do that Potter has a vaunted interest in seeing this marriage stopped.
You and he have been eyeing each other since Christmas. You honestly believe that he still holds all
the stuff that happened between the two of you against you? I think not, or he would not be trying to
get up enough courage to ask you out. Besides,” Pansy continued with a know-it-all smirk, “I’ve
already owled Hermione and she says that they would love to help. They just need to know what we
want them to do and when.” Draco just stared at her in disbelief before huffing and collapsing on
the chair next to Pansy’s.

“Why did you let me stress so much if you’ve already contacted Granger? What about the Dark
Lord? How are we going to avoid his wrath? You know he is expecting us to produce an heir for
his service just as my parents did. Goddess Pansy, this is totally hopeless.”

“Draco, you didn’t give me a chance to tell you that I had already contacted Hermione before you
started stressing about my idea. As far as the Dark Lord, I am just as scared as you are Draco. We
both know what will happen if he finds out we don’t want to marry much less that we neither one
want to take the Mark. Hopefully ‘Mione will have an idea on how to get around that too.”

When Draco heard the nickname that Potter and Weasley used for Granger come out of Pansy’s
mouth he raised an eyebrow and gave the girl a questioning look. Pansy never noticed.

Lucius Malfoy had been glad to see Pansy arrive at Malfoy Manor early that morning. He greeted
her with a small smile as she breezed past him towards Draco’s room. He figured that they were
merely discussing wedding plans. What Draco and Pansy did not know though, was that Lucius had
placed a charm on his son’s room allowing him to hear what went on in the room as he was
beginning to doubt his son’s loyalty. Unfortunately for them, Lucius had heard Pansy’s plan and
immediately contacted not only the Parkinson’s but also his Lord. They would see the wedding
done before the end of the day if that is what it took to get the two stubborn children to produce an
heir for the Dark Lord’s use.

* * *

Pansy was as white as a ghost as she reached for some parchment and ink. She scribbled furiously
for a moment before thrusting the paper at Draco. What he read made him pale just as Pansy had a
moment before.

Draco we have to get out of here now. I don’t know how your father found out what we were
discussing but he did. My parents as well as the Dark Lord are downstairs right now planning
on making us follow thru with the marriage today.

Draco stood and pulled Pansy to him as he grabbed at something under his shirt. He saw his
bedroom door opening just as felt the pull behind his navel from the emergency portkey his
godfather had given him. It would take them directly to the Order of the Phoenix Headquarters.

* * *

Harry was sitting at the kitchen table in Grimmauld Place going over ideas for Draco and Pansy to
escape the wedding when a burning pain shot thru his scar. He had learned Occlumency to the best
of his ability, but when Voldemort was completely enraged he would still feel it as well as any
punishment that was meted out. He clapped a hand to his scar and looked at Hermione.

“I think Draco and Pansy should be here soon.” Then everything went blessedly dark.

* * *

Lucius cursed as he saw his son and Pansy whisked out of the room right in front of his eyes. He
cringed when he heard his name hissed out of the mouth of his lord. He could hear the underlying
rage in the simple word.

“Luccciussss. How you have disappointed me. You were supposed to be my most loyal, you are
my right hand man. You were supposed to train your son to be as loyal as I thought your were.
Was I mistaken, Luccciusss? Are you not my loyal servant, as I thought you were?”

Lucius fell on his knees before his lord. “Of course I am your most loyal servant, my lord. I-“

“Silence. You do not have the right to speak to me. Crucio.”

Lucius felt like he was dying which at this point in time he really wanted to. No, wait, he wanted to
kill his bastard of a son and the bitch and then die. It was only a few seconds and the curse was
lifted.

“You will find your son and his bitch and bring them both to me. Is that understood?” Lucius
nodded his head as he didn’t trust his voice. He then shot a glare at the Parkinson’s who had
remained silent all this time. Voldemort followed his gaze.

“Ah, yes that reminds me. The two of you should have known what your daughter was up to. For
your negligence you will be punished. First a little a time under the Cruciatus curse and then you
will have to watch as your daughter dies a slow and painful death if she and Draco do not marry.
Crucio.”

* * *

Hermione had stood from the table as soon as Harry had clapped a hand to his scar. Now he was
laying in her arms convulsing and screaming as his body was racked with the effects of the cruciatus
curse. As she sat trying to calm her best friend down she heard a thump to her left and saw Draco
and Pansy land in the kitchen. They immediately put their hands over their ears when they heard
Potter screaming like a banshee.

“What the bloody hell is his problem?” Pansy bit out. Hermione just gave her a glare before turning
to look at Draco.

“Thank Merlin you’re finally here. Could you please go upstairs and get Professor Snape and
Headmaster Dumbledore. They should be in the study. Just tell them that He is at it again. They
will understand what that means.” Draco nodded his head and begin to move to the door when
Harry let out a fresh scream. “Please hurry, I don’t know how much more he can take.” With that
Draco raced out of the kitchen and up the stairs desperately trying to figure out where the study
might be.

When he reached the first landing he begin to throw open each door he came to He was just moving
away from the second door that looked like it lead into a lounge of some sort when a flash of red
caught his eye. It was Weasley and he didn’t look to happy to see him.

“What the fuck are you doing here, ferret? How the hell did you even get in the door?”

“Look Weasley, as much as I would love to stand here and fight with you, I need to find Professor
Snape and Headmaster Dumbledore right away. Granger said that they should be in the study.
Where is it?”

“Why should I tell you, you slimy snake?”

“Because your best friend is in the kitchen screaming himself hoarse and Granger asked me to get
them. She said that they would know what to do for him.”

“What kind of curse did you put on him that is making him do that?” Ron asked as he threw Draco
up against the wall and pinned him there.

“I didn’t do it you fucking idiot. He was already like that when I came in. Granger told me to tell
Snape and Dumbledore that He was at it again.” As Draco said that Ron turned pale and quickly let
him go turning toward the kitchen.

“The study is the second door on the right on the next floor.” Ron tossed over his shoulder as he
headed for the kitchen. Draco barely waited to hear that before he was off again moving as quickly
as he could. He couldn’t bear the thought of what Harry must be going thru one more second. He
quickly climbed the stairs and headed straight for that door. When he reached it, he flung it open
shocking the occupants of the room when the door hit the wall.

“Draco, what are-“ Professor Snape started but was cut off by Draco.

“Granger sent me up here to find you. Potter is on the floor in the kitchen screaming his head off.
Granger told me to tell you that He was at it again.” Dumbledore and Snape barely glanced at each
other before running out of the room and down to the kitchen. Draco slumped against the wall of
the study praying that Harry would be alright now.
