Summary: Katerina was in her seventh year at Hogwarts. The whole time she'd been able to keep out of sight from everyone, but now has taken the interest of Draco Malfoy. How will she manage rejecting the son of one of the most powerful wizards, or will she be able to?
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
Lucius Malfoy groaned in frustration. His only son, Draco, was on his way to his last year of schooling. Over the summer, Draco told his father of his intentions regarding his love life.
"Oh, Narcissa," Lucius called to his wife, "what am I going to do? Draco won't tell me the name of this girl he's become infatuated with!"
"Now, now, Lucius." Narcissa, who was reading a book in the corner, replied, "You know Draco will only tell his mother the name of someone who had stolen her little boy's heart."
"So you know?" Lucius asked of her.
"Well, of course I do!" Narcissa answered, "It's Ralph's daughter."
"Ralph Emblem? As in the father of Joseph Emblem. The Joseph Emblem who ran off with a Muggle!" Lucius cried, "I won't have it!"
"Even if they allowed their son to marry such a vile thing such as a Muggle," Narcissa scolded her husband, turning the page of her book, "The remaining Emblem members are pure-blooded, and that means their daughter, too."
"Of course, until she runs off with one herself!" Lucius hissed.
"She's in Ravenclaw. She knows better than to run off with a muggle. She will settle down with a pure blooded man, and for Draco's sake, let's hope it's him." Narcissa said sternly while looking up from her book, "I'd rather not have my baby boy locked up for murder."
"Oh, you won't have to. I have an idea." Lucius smiled.
"Oh dear, for Merlin's sake, what is it?" Narcissa asked, then realized in shock, "No, we are not arranging their marriage. Yes, I know that's common, but I want the BOTH of them to be in love with one another to do that."
"We were arranged, and look how we turned out." Lucius answered.
It took Narcissa a moment to answer, "Alright, Lucius, do whatever, if you think our son will be happy."
Lucius smiled, grabbing his paper and quill, "Now, what is her name?"
"Katerina." Narcissa plainly stated.
"Katerina Malfoy. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?" Lucius asked.
To the Guardians of Katerina Emblem,
My name is Lucius Malfoy, head of the Malfoy family. Recently, our son, Draco, has taken interest in your young daughter, Katerina. I would like to request your presence at Malfoy Manor the Friday after next to discuss an agreement for their marriage.
As you may have heard, the Malfoy family is a, well, rather important name for time's sake. We believe that Katerina will make a wonderful addition to the Malfoy name in the near future. We believe that Draco would make an exceptional addition to your family as well. They will bring out the best in each other. We look forward to your company soon.
The Name You Shalt Not Forget,
Lucius Malfoy
Katerina sighed as the train started to board more people. She had arrived early, since her parents say farewell at home since they work a lot. Most people had made friends in their career at Hogwarts, but not Katerina. She'd prefer to stay out of the limelight as much as possible, especially after everything that happened with her brother, Joseph.
Katerina's owl, Hemmingway, was in the floor by her legs. She considered him her only friend, and quite honestly preferred it that way. Hemmingway couldn't poke fun at her
The door to the small compartment swung open, and inside piled in Draco Malfoy, along with Crabbe and Goyle, two of his friends. Words could not describe how much she hated Draco Malfoy. "Stay on his nice side." He mother said, "He's from a powerful family." This was yet another reason to stay out of sight.
"Oh, look here, Draco, we've sat in with Mousey!" Crabbe mocked.
"Oh, leave her alone, Crabbe." Goyle scoffed, "However, I think we'd be in a need of an ice-breaker, don't you, Draco?"
"Yeah, Draco, a little bit of an ice breaker wouldn't hurt her." Crabbe laughed.
"Hah!" Draco scoffed, "Agreed, mates. Let a Slytherin boy show the signature greeting whenever we get our eyes on a pretty girl."
Katerina was shocked. Did Draco just call her pretty? She wanted to vomit. "Will do, Draco!" Crabbe said smirking.
The two boys then proceed to jerk Katerina down into her seat, holding her hostage by the arms. She sank down in the seat, trying to fend them off. Draco slid on top of her, his lips forcefully raiding hers in the worst kiss of her life.
She felt violated. She felt sick to her stomach. She hated it, but at the same time, the Malfoy boy could kiss.
Katerina felt something moving around her lips. She keeps them locked; Draco bit her lip, allowing his tongue to receive entrance. Crabbe and Goyle let go of her, but not before slinging her arms around Draco's neck.
He finally let her go, slinging back into his seat laughing. "Oh, take a joke, Mousey, even though you're probably the best kisser I've ever had!" Draco said in the midst of his laughter.
On the inside, Draco felt that he was the happiest person on this train. He had just kissed the girl he'd been eying since first year at Hogwarts. He wanted to kiss her again, and again, and again, but he refrained himself. He'd have plenty of time to kiss her later.
"Look at this letter I received!" Ralph Emblem cried out to his wife after work, "The Malfoy boy wants to marry my Katerina!"
"The Malfoy's are a powerful family. Be grateful they want to do this." Liliana said.
"We will have to go!" Ralph said, "If we don't, they'll take Katerina in the middle of the night and elope her to Draco and kill us!"
"I know, honey." Liliana shrugged, "I've seen the Malfoy boy around. He seems to be a nice, young gentleman. I trust him."
"He's a Malfoy, Liliana!" Ralph hollered, "They would have Joseph killed by now if they had more power."
"Yes, I know, but marrying Katerina off to Draco might save his life." Liliana said.
Ralph took a minute, "I suppose your right. Katerina won't marry herself off. She's pureblood, so she wouldn't be surprised of the arrangement."
"She'll learn to love him." Liliana said, "Just wait and see."
"I'll write him back now, making the arrangements." Ralph said.
To the Malfoy Family,
We have recieved your letter regarding the arrangments for our children. We have talked it over, and have agreed to meet the Friday after next to discuss this matter. We look forward to seeing you soon.
With care,
Ralph and Liliana Emblem
Note: Chapter 1 is finished! I hope you enjoy this! I'm sorry about Harry Potter and the Siren's Spell. For now, it will stay up, but I might take it down if I still have writer's block for this. This idea has stuck with me for a while, and I'm happy to finally have written it and published it.
Don't forget to review!
