Chapter 1 Métier

"Listen carefully, from this day forth you are now my fiancée bought and paid by money,"

Harry stood dumbfounded as he stares at the retreating back of the Veela Prince, Draco Malfoy. 'Wha… What's the meaning of this? Fiancée? But I thought I am going work as a house keeper?'thoughts kept swirling inside Harry's head as he tries to grasp what is happening around him.

Perhaps it would be more prudent if we went back to when it all started, a week ago.

A week ago

"They told me your treatment would start next week," a young man who looks no older than fifteen with black hair and emerald green eyes said while arranging the bouquet of flowers he brought with him. His name is Harry James Potter, he is an orphan. He lost his parent at a tender age of one year and three months when a mad wizard by the name of Voldemort murdered them. He once was left at his muggle aunt's house, but when child services learned that Harry was being mistreated if not downright being abused and neglected. They stepped in, and contacted Remus Lupin, a friend of his father who is also a wizard as well as his godfather, and was asked to adopt the boy since he is the child's next kin.

"Are you the one who is going to pay for everything, Harry?" A man with sandy blond hair and amber eyes propped up by pillows on a hospital bed said.

The boy merely nodded his head while bustling around the small hospital ward. "But where will you get the money?" the man protested.

"I have found a nice part time job and the boss was kind enough to pay me in advance," Harry said as he opens the window to let some fresh air in.

"Are you sure it is safe and not something that is shady?" Remus persisted wanting to make sure his cub would be fine on his own.

Harry giggled a little, "Oh Remus you worry too much. I could take care of myself and I am not stupid as to involve myself into something shady,"

Remus sighed "I know that Harry. But I still worry. Merlin how I hated being such a burden to you," Remus said miserably.

Harry stopped his fussing and faced the man with a serious look a he reaches out to grasp the man's hand in his. "Look Remus, when I was a sickly little boy once back then, have you once thought of me as a burden to you?" Harry asked looking deeply into the man's amber eyes.

Remus again sighed and reached out to caress Harry's cheek, "Now look here, Harry that is different. You know I never once though about you like that. You're the only family that I ever have and as such you are the most precious person in my life. Also I am the parent here I should be the one to provide for you, and not you providing for me," he replied softly with affection shining in his eyes.

Harry leaned into the touch relishing the affection showered upon him by the man he though of as a father baring their blood difference. He sighed and tried to reassure Remus as best as he could. "Exactly, Remus we are family," Harry said with a tinge of exasperation in his voice. "I know you worry about me but I am capable of doing things. Please trust in me," Harry said looking at Remus' eyes imploringly.

Remus closed his eyes and sighed heavily. He just can't win with those eyes staring at him, "I trust you Harry. But you should also know that I am also entitled to worry. You're my son in everything but blood," he said.

"I know Remus and I regard you as my father as just the same," Harry said solemnly. "Alright," Harry sighed when he saw Remus' unwavering gaze, "to put you at ease, I'll have you know that I am hired as a house keeper and like I said earlier my new boss was kind enough to pay me in advance,"

"A house keeper? But how about your schooling?" Remus asked agitated.

Harry scratches his neck sheepishly as he tries to avoid telling his god father that he had actually dropped from school. "Harry James Potter! Don't tell me you dropped out from school!" Remus said furious at his godson's foolishness.

"Remus, please try to understand. I need this job!" Harry tried to reason out, "and besides we could hardly afford the tuition from that school you insist I attend,"

"But Harry!"

"But nothing!" Harry snapped as he tried to control his rising temper. "Look Remus, I'll make you a deal ok? How about once you're well enough to take over again as provider I'll gladly quit my job and resume my schooling," Harry compromised, when he saw Remus about to protest he cuts him off. "Take it or leave it, Remus either way I will drop out of school. The only choices are whether or not it is a temporary or permanent basis,"

Remus sighed in defeat again, "You win Harry. But once I get out of this hospital and I am well enough to work you are going straight back to school is that understood, Harry James Potter!" Remus said in a stern manner that broke no arguments.

"Crystal" Harry said equally serious as his godfather. After a few moments a smile broke upon his face as he latches himself upon his godfather.

Harry then remembers the strange encounter he had the day before that granted him this good fortune.

*Flashback*

Harry chance upon the job as a house keeping while he was walking on his way to the hospital where he meet an old man asking for directions.

"Young man, could you help me in finding my way to Hogshead? I seem to have taken a wrong turn and now I am lost," he said.

"That is ok. I'll lead you there," Harry said with a smile and offered his hand to old man to assist and lead him to his destination.

Once they have gotten to their destination the old man stopped and faced Harry, "I apologize for dragging so far out of your way, young man," the elderly man said holding Harry's hand in both of his frail old ones.

"Please don't mind it sir. I am always ready to give my assistance to those who are in need," Harry said giving the man a warm reassuring smile.

The old man's eyes twinkled behind his half moon glasses and a small unnoticeable smile appeared on his lips. "I know it is a little bit too much but I would like to ask for another favor from you. You see an acquaintance of mine is looking for a house keeper and he would appreciate it if someone like you would come and apply for the job. I grantee that it is a legitimate job and you will be exceptionally paid," the old man said.

Harry was a little bit apprehensive about the offer but when he thought about his godfather's hospital bills he can't help but reconsider the offer. Besides he could always quit if h doesn't like the job and give their money back.

"Umm… Well about that … if it is okay. Can I have an advance payment as insurance of sorts?" Harry asked.

The old man smile d up at him, "I think that's just only fair. Don't worry. I'll tell them to give you the payment before you start work. How does Friday sound? So you'll start work on Monday. Here is address of the house so you would know where to go. It also doubles as a pass so you could get into the property," the man handed Harry a card with the address of the place he would be working for.

*End of Flashback*

"Harry!"

"Harry!" Harry looked behind him to see his best friend Ronald Weasley running towards him.

"Hey Ron!" he called out stopping in front of the entrance hall of their school to wait for his friend to catch up.

"Is it true?" Ron immediately asked once he caught with Harry.

"What is true, Ron?"

"Don't pretend that you know nothing, Harry," Ron snapped annoyance clearly heard n his voice.

Harry sighed and stopped before the doors of the Great Hall, "I guess there is no use hiding it from you now. Yes Ron I'll be leaving school at the end of this week," Harry said.

"What that fast?" Ron exclaimed, "Are you sure about this mate? Is the job even safe or legal? You may never know they might be members of the mafia out to victimize innocent school boys into working as their sex slave,"

Harry laughed at his friend's ridiculous assumptions, but he was glad that his friend is this concerned about him and tried to reassure the redhead. "At first I am also skeptic but somehow I knew that the old man is quite trustworthy. Besides he already paid me. It would be unethical of me to not at least try and see if I could work for them at least for a few days,"

"So you really are going to quit school?"

"Yeah, I guess I really am," Harry said softly.

Suddenly Ron dropped his book bag and brought Harry into his arms in a bone crushing hug. Harry was too shocked to react and barely missed his best friend's words "I am gonna miss you, mate, brother of my soul," Ron said.

Harry's expression softens upon hearing those words he knew his friend cherishes their friendship above anything else and considers him his brother in everything but blood.

After a while Harry pushes Ron and gave him a reassuring smile.

They were about to enter the Great Hall when they spotted Draco Malfoy with his two bodyguards, Crabbe and Goyle, descending the stairs on his way also to the Great Hall. Everything seems to have ground to a halt as the blond passes by and everybody's eyes seem to have glued themselves to him.

The whole school can't help but to look up at the blond. After all not only is he the renowned Slytherin Prince but also he is a Veela on top of it, the Veela Prince to be exact.

He brushed by Harry on his way to the Great Hall as his bodyguards held the doors open for him. "Look at him just because he is the Veela Prince he thinks that everything is beneath him. That insufferable git!" Ron exclaimed hotly to the blonde's retreating back. "Good thing he would be leaving soon. I heard through the grape vine that he is going to get married this year. I pity the person he would be marrying. It would surely be a loveless marriage considering his holier-than-thou attitude," Ron said.

But Harry wasn't listening to his best friend's tirade. 'Despite everything around him seem to sparkle and shine, it seems a cloak of melancholy wraps around his very soul right now', Harry thought empathically.

"Your Highness?" Goyle one of his bodyguards/ friends called out to him as he ascends the stairs going straight to the astronomy tower.

"Please don't follow me. I need to be alone for a while," Draco said dismissing both his guards. "By the way," Draco said halting his steps without turning to look at both Crabbe and Goyle, "Do any of you know what kind of person my grandfather choose to be my mate?"

Silence meets his inquiry until Crabbe answered in a quiet voice, "I am sorry but nobody knows yet who it would be,"

Draco sighed, "How typical," he muttered with a rueful smile as he started to ascend the stairs while both Crabbe and Goyle walk back to the dungeons. They knew Draco needed some space and they respected that. Besides they knew no matter how foolish their boss/ friend is at times, Draco sense of responsibility far exceeds any foolish impulses.

Draco has reached the astronomy tower and proceeds to look over the vast land surrounding the castle turned magic school. He lets the wind ruffle his hair and revel in its soothing caress. He took off is coat and proceeded to remove his shirt. As soon as both articles of clothing are removed his back flexed and majestic snow white wing sprouted from his back. He strode towards the railing and without so much as a preamble he jumped over. He beats up his wings to get his momentum and as soon as he is stable in the air he soared trough the clouds. Unbeknownst to him a pair of emerald green eyes gazes at him with admiration from the entrance of the astronomy tower.

After dinner that night Harry told Ron that he needs time alone to sort out his thoughts. Although skeptic Ron allowed hi friend the space he needed. He understood what his small friend is going through right now and allowed him this small respite to gather his thoughts. He knew if Harry needed his help he would say so.

With his thoughts in turmoil Harry went to the only place he knew he could find peace and quiet at this hour. As he enters the Astronomy Tower we can't help but gasped at the sight before him, Draco Malfoy as soaring through the clouds like a majestic eagle. Never in his wildest dreams could he imagine his luck to see the object of his fantasy in all his Veela glory. Malfoy in Harry's mind is the most gorgeous creature to ever grace the earth. For Harry at that very moment, Draco is a god amongst men.

Draco didn't know how long he had been flying. But he didn't care he wanted to savor the moment of being free. He knew that as soon as comes back to his home all pretenses of being free would be shattered and he would yet again be a bird trap in a gilded cage.

When he saw that the skies began to darken he decided to finally stop lest he wanted his guards to worry and cause undue scene. As soon as he landed unto the as he landed on the astronomy tower he went straight to where his discarded clothes are.

While he was dressing a light shuffling noise caught his sensitive ears. "Who is there? Show your self!" he demanded as he whirled around to scan the vicinity for the source of the noise. His senses were on high alert for any sudden attacks while inwardly cursing his stupidity for not securing the tower first before he used it.

Harry cursed his stupidity when he accidentally bumped one of the telescopes lining up the edge of the Astronomy Tower. "Umm… I… I am… sorry. Please… excuse me," Harry stuttered when he was leveled by that intense mercury gaze. He lowered his head in fluster and began to advance toward the door only to be stopped by a firm grip around his wrist.

"Wait!"

Draco didn't know what came to him but when he saw the raven haired teen his breath was caught in his throat. He was mesmerized by the intense emerald gaze of the boy before him, the type of gaze that pulls you and absorbs you within their depts. 'Such absorbing eyes,'he thought.

"You drop this," Draco said handing the flustered boy the book he has been holding.

"Umm… Thanks… I guess…" Harry replied as a blush due to Draco's piercing gaze. "Umm… I am sorry to for intruding on you like this… I was not aware that you were here," he said.

Draco only smiled. The teen in front of him looks adorable. 'If only I am not going to be married to someone my family has chosen for me, I would have loved to get to know this person,'he thought to himself.

Harry blushed even more, "Umm… ah… Congratulations!" Harry blurted out suddenly and Draco raised his eyebrow at him with an amused smile on his face, which made Harry blush further that he thought he was about to explode. "I mean… um… Congratulations… I heard you are getting married… so I want to wish you and your bride the best of luck," he said.

Draco could only chuckle the boy in front of him is so cute, "Thank you. Although I cannot say the same on behalf of my intended seeing that I haven't meet him or her yet," Draco replied.

"Eh… but how come?" Harry asked.

"In our country the heir to the throne's intended is chosen by previous king, even though that person is not their soul mate as is with other veelas who mate their soul mate. This of course is because the royal family chooses the person with power rather than love. They say that in the end the heir could learn to love their intended seeing that veelas mate for life. In other words if you are dealing with the royal family it is always a marriage of convenience. Being a member of the royal family means you have to put your people's happiness above your own. I don't even know the gender of my intended," Draco said by way of explanation.

"Eh… gender? That means you could marry either male or female? How would you have heirs then if your intended is a male?" Harry fired of question and when he realize what he had done he blushed even harder, "I am sorry,"

Draco chuckled again at the adorable sight the other teen is exhibiting 'Oh how do I wish he were my intended,'he thought, "We veela's don't care if our intended is of the same gender because in the end we are able to produce offspring either way," he said by way of explanation. "Besides it doesn't matter anyway, I am just following orders," he said as an after thought his eyes reflecting the hurt he was feeling inside.

"But I'll take your congratulatory remarks anyway, so thank you," Draco said as he turns to leave.

Harry seeing the hurt reflected in the deep mercury gaze of the veela prince can't help but blurt out. "Um…" Draco stopped but didn't turn around, "For someone as great as you surely," Harry started "surely they would choose somebody who is good for you," he said passionately.

Draco could only smile at that and he exited the Astronomy tower leaving a very flustered Harry Potter in his wake.

"Phew! Finally!" Harry exclaimed as he packed the last of his belongings. "Now I am all set!" he said cheerfully, but that didn't last long as he surveyed the room in which he had lived his whole life. "I guess this is it. I wonder if I'll ever see this place again," he said with melancholy coloring his voice.

Harry was sitting at outside the King's Cross station when a sleek black carriage stopped in front of him. From the carriage out came a very intimidating man dress in crisp black robes, "Mr. Harry Potter," the man drawled.

"Yes! That is me," Harry said standing up from the bench he was seating.

"I am Severus Snape, the head advisor," he said extending his hand for Harry to shake. Harry took the proffered hand hesitantly and felt the firmness of the mans hand when he shock it. 'This is a man I never wanted to cross,'Harry thought at the back of his mind. "I have come to pick you up. They have been waiting, so get in the car," Severus said.

Inside the carriage Harry felt restless the atmosphere felt tense that he imagine it to be like butter he could cut easily. 'I don't really understand but by the looks of it I'll be serving a very rich family,' Harry studied the person beside him discretely 'He looks so intimidating,'Harry thought.

"Umm… excuse me… May I ask aside from housekeeping what are my other duties?" Harry asked trying to start a conversation to break the awkwardness.

"Housekeeping?" Severus asked incredulously with a raised eyebrow. "What do you mean housekeeping, Boy?" Severus said

"Eh? But I thought that is what you hired me for?" Harry said innocently.

"Stupid boy! Haven't you received the dowry we paid you yesterday?"

"Dowry?" Now this is more confusing to Harry. "The only thing I received yesterday is my advance salary as a house keeper," he said.

"What you receive yesterday is your dowry for your engagement, not salary," Severus said to the confuse boy.

'Dowry? What does he mean?'Harry thought as he tried to process the things he is being told. But before he could ask further the carriage has stop and the driver has already opened the door for them.

"Wow, what a big house!" Harry was overwhelmed with the enormity of the place that he was not aware of the approaching figure descending from the stairs of the front porch.

"So you are finally here," a very familiar voice drawled, "How long do you intend to make me wait for you?"

Harry gasped as he saw the person descending from the house. Hearing the startled gasped Draco was surprised as well when he saw his supposed intended, "You…" his voice trailed of in shock which he masked immediately with a smirk.

"Umm.. Hi! I… um… Never thought we…" Harry said nervously when he was interrupted by a cold retort coming from the blond

"Severus?" Draco cut off Harry's nervous chatter.

"Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Harry James Potter," Severus said gesturing at the stunned brunet. "Mr. Potter, This is His Royal Highness Draco Lucius Malfoy, Prince of the Veela Nation, your fiancé,"

"Fiancé?" Harry asked stunned at the revelation.

"So you are the one the previous king has chosen for me?" Draco approached Harry with measured and roughly grab his chin in a bruising grip, "When I was first told that my intended wanted to be paid the dowry in advance I wondered what kind of person they were," Draco said in a cold voice full of malice "Now I know,"

Harry gasped in pain when Draco's grip tightened "It…hurts…" Harry wince as Draco's smirk widens.

"You are nothing but a money grabbing whore," Draco spat as he shove Harry to the ground turning to stalk back inside the mansion. "Severus!" Draco called out without turning his back.

"Yes your highness?"

"Bring my fiancé to his room and dress him up into something more appropriate for dinner. It won't do to have my fiancé dress as riffraff even though he is nothing more than a filthy whore," Draco said as he continued up the stairs unconcerned to Harry who has yet to stand up from where he had fallen.

"Yes, you highness," said Severus as he help the teen up off the floor.

"Oh and Harry," Draco said his voice dripping with false sweetness and venom, when he reached the front doors turning and leveled the still stunned brunet with his most coldest stare, "Listen carefully, from this day forth you are now my fiancée bought and paid by money. Nothing more nothing less," with that he turned and entered the mansion.

TBC…

AN: Finally, it is done. Wow, another story I have to finish anyway, this story is loosely based on Asuma Risai and Saeko Kamon's manga 'Royal Fiancé'. It is completely AU as you can see. I say loosely because like most of my works based on manga I don't follow the actual plot line I use the main plot only and modify it into another story but that is not to say I don't acknowledge the original authors that is why for my disclaimer I put it up also. Hope you liked it. Enjoy! Please R&R! ^_^V

AN2: Also just to let you know I am updating my other works most specially my HP crossovers so please visit them as well. Thank you! ^_^V
