This is my first story, reviews greatly appreciated.

"The marriage shall be one based on the cornerstones of pureblood traditions.

Both parties shall not take part in adultery.

The wife shall act as a proper lady of the house and take care of duties as such.

A male heir is required to be in existence within five years.

The family will live in the historical manor.

The wife will act as such."

The man looked up from the document at the girl, "Ms. Granger, those are the terms will you accept?"

Hermione was looking out the window, when the lawyer spoke she faced him. "I will accept if I may add one condition."

"What is it may I ask?"

"In this marriage, Mr. Malfoy shall treat me with respect."

Draco Malfoy had been staring at the girl during the whole meeting but now his gaze intensified. "It will be acceptable to add that to the document." he said. Then, he extracted a ring from his pocket and slipped it onto Hermione's finger. Her only reaction was a single tear that left a wet trail down her cheek.
