Chapter One
The inncessent clang of the clock pounded in his head making his headache worse. Bile rose in his throat thick and acidic as he ran to the toilet and vomited. He wretched until he started to dry heave into the bowl.
His stomach began to quiver and twist, his heartbeat pounded in his ears as he collapsed heavily onto his green silk sheets. His body felt too heavy, his skin felt tight and stretched against his muscled frame.
His head lulled to the side as he stared at his reflection in the mirror above his dresser. His normally pale skin was red with fever, his hair was dirty and sweat soaked. His eyes that were normally dark gray colored were rapidly turning pitch black.
The aching pressure of breaking bone as he opens his mouth to scream only to stare in disbelief as his canine teeth grew long and sharp. His fingers curled into themselves as he rolled into a fetal posistion
"ARRRGGGHHH"He screamed as the bones in his spine felt like they were being ripped out one by one
His screams of pain brought his mother Narcissa Malfoy into his bedchamber.
"M-Mother Help Me"Draco pleaded through an elongated mouth as patches of dark black fur began to cover his body
Narcissa covered her mouth with her hands as she watched her only child go through his own personal hell. She shuttered involentarily remembering her own phasing.
Tears filled her eyes as she watched him thrash about screaming as his body contorted knowing there was nothing she could do to help him.
She could feel her husband coming before she heard his boot heels click across the floor coming toward them.
Lucius looked haggard as he sank into the armchair, his face an unreadable mask as he watched his son.
His mouth elongated as he stood on all fours, his ears changing shape and jet black fur covered his entire form.
"Arrroooo" A long low howl sounded from his son, signaling the completion of his transformation.
His son had made it.
He was a wolf. A Lycan.
The dark wolf eyed them tiredly as he closed his eyes and let the darkness consume him.
"Luc" Narcissa breathed clapping her hands together as a smile graced her lips as she bent over the chair and kissed her mate with fever.
Lucius grinned as he broke the kiss "Everything will be alright now sweetheart"
They joined hands as Lucius rose from his seat and they walked down the hall toward their bedchamber.
One Month Ago The new Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse, Decreed the ancient law of Matrimonium Lex or Marriage Law will be reinstated for every young Pureblood witch and wizard aged sixteen to seventeen.
The home of Arthur and Molly Weasley, more commonly known as the Burrow, was abuzz with noise and laughter of children home for summer break
The youngest Weasley children Ron and Ginny were playing a game of Quidditch with Twins Fred and George Weasley, Hermoine Granger, the smartest muggle born witch they knew, and Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived.
The laughter stopped abruptly at the flock of owls that flew overhead delivering chaos to heartbroken families.
Arthur sat at his kitchen table, drumming his fingers against the scrubbed tabletop as he waited for the fate of his poor children.
Out of his seven children only Ron and Ginny were eligible for this but what disappointed Arthur most was that his own estranged son, Percy passed this law, along with those other ministry lapdogs.
Crash. The Fireplace opened onto the Floo network to expel none other than Percival Weasley out of the green flame.
Percy picked himself up off the stone floor and set about straightening his robes before straightening the glasses on the bridge of his nose before adressing his parents who stared at him in shock.
"Hello Mother. Hello Father. Glorious day, is it not?"Percy asked grinning at them as he dug into the pocket of his robes, removing a stack of parchment.
"However I am here on official Ministry buisness."He began in his most official voice
"As you already know Matrimonium Lex was passed last month. I am here to give you the good news myself. I have in my hand the names of your children's betrothed-"
"LISTEN TO YOURSELF PERCY. This is your brother and sister for Circe's sake. Perce-"Arthur yelled exasperated, his face becoming as red as what little hair he had left.
Molly clutched his hand reassuringly as she stopped a sob from escaping as she collapsed into the chair next to her husband.
Percy glared coldly at his parents
"As I was saying, I have the names of their betrothed."he said as he motioned the eavesdropping group into the room.
When everyone was seated Percy began "Ronald Billius Weasley aged 16 to wed Estella Jane Jamison aged 16 on June 15,1998."
"At least you'll have time to get to know her"
Harry consoled as a puffy eyed Hermoine nodded in agreement.
"And now the crowning achievement of our family."Percy sneered "Ginerva Molly Weasley aged 16 to wed Draconis Lucius Malfoy aged 17 on October 31,1997"
Percy's words bounced off the walls, echoing to the stunned group. Arthur's face turned puce at the mention of his enemy's family intermingling with his.
Molly looked like she was going to faint and a thud could be heard as Ron fell out of his chair onto the floor. Fred, George and Harry went to retrieve him as everyone sat as though stupified.
Molly blinked out of her trance as she helped the boys carry an unconcious Ron to the other room leaving Ginny,Percy and Arthur to talk.
"Why Percy? Why Ginny and why so bloody soon?"
Percy puffed out his chest and smiled
"Well the Malfoy's came to the Minister's office as soon as it was announced that the law was put into parlament. They wanted a good witch from a good family. And the Minister asked if I knew of any. So I humbly suggested you Ginny dear. "
"And it's soon because my son has already turned 17"came the voice of Lucius Malfoy from the fireplace through the floo network causing everyone to jump.
"Malfoy"Arthur growled at the silver head sticking out through the green flames.
"Weasley. Surely we can be civil in light of this good news. Ginevra, Draco will collect you at 9am sharp on Tuesday-"
"For what?"Ginny asked dumbly.
Lucius glared at Percy "Didn't you tell them anything Puncy?"he snarled before turning his attention back to the girl
"To live with your new family, my dear. In any matter,you may want to read the fine print Arthur "Lucius said then disappeared from sight.
Arthur sighed in defeat as he hung his head into his hands
"Well it was nice to see you. But I really must be going."said Percy as he threw floo powder into the fireplace shouting "Ministry of Magic" and disappeared with a pop.
"Oh Arthur"said Molly staring at her children through tear filled eyes.
"Is it true, what that pompous bastard said?" Arthur looked through the Ministry contract.
"Yes, the Malfoy's want a Pureblood wedding"
"A what?" Harry asked as he helped a now concious Ron sit down
"A Pureblood Wedding. Its where the bride and bridegroom live together in the same house until their wedding day. Usually accompanied by a Bride price where the groom makes an offer of some kind for the bride."said Hermoine smiling reassuringly at Ginny.
"What am I worth to them?"Ginny asked her father
"Ginny!"Molly said scandelized that her daughter would ask such a thing.
Arthur laughed at his daughter's question
"Well."He said looking at the parchment "They have paid off all of our loans. They..." Arthur stopped short cleared his throat before continuing "They also offer Two hundred thousand galleons and two Nimbus 2002 broomsticks for the Bride Price"
Molly looked at her distraught husband who hung his head in defeat to the sad faces of her children.
"Alright children. Off with you now. Go back to your game"she said shooing them to the garden before she joined Arthur at the table
"What is it dear?"Molly asked holding his hand in her shaking one
"Draco...he..phased. He believes Ginny is his mate...Thats why he chose her"Arthur looked at his wife helplessly
"We hoped none of our childen would turn but Ginny's always been special"Molly said soothingly
"But its Draco Malfoy. If he...she won't understand..." Arthur put his face in his hands as he groaned while his wife hovered over him.
Ginny walked the path over the hill from the Burrow alone, shaking off the Trio's offer for company saying she needed to be alone and they were all too happy to oblige.
Not that Ginny cared for their company, she didn't need them, she didn't need anyone.
At Hoggwarts Ginny was overshadowed by her older brothers and the Golden Trio but now as the Prince Of Slytherin's Bride. Ginny took her stroll pondering her new station...
