Chapter one
The ungrateful news
Rose sat alone in her bed room she was dreading her first day back at school, her parents where hoping she would at last live up to follow the long line of grate slytherins in their family, but Rose didn't even like kicking the cat out of the house in the morning.
Her mother had always said she did have a bad done in her body much too her family's disgust.
"Rose , come down stairs at once " came her mother's voice from the bottom floor , grabbing her bag she set off for the nearest staircase , she thought for how when she was little she wondered how her mother did that , but as she grow older it seemed she was less intrigued and more annoyed by it.
Once Rose reached the bottom the temperature seemed to drop, all eyes in the room where on her as she approached her mother.
"Yes mother?" she asked trying to keep the nerves that she was now feeling out of her voice.
"Rose darling something amazing has happened ..." Rose was taken aback by the emotion in her mother's voice, normally she was cold an unforgiving.
"It has ... "Rose said a little unshore of what was going on.
Rose's father stepped out from where he stud just behind her mother.
"yes it has , me and your mother where being to wonder if it would ever happen but still it has ... Rose dear you are to be married" her father's voice was so different to how it normally was it showed more emotion then she thought he could.
Rose was so court up in the fact her father had talked to her that she almost didn't catch what he had said.
Almost.
"IM WHAT!" Rose couldn't help it; she just couldn't hold back the shock she felt how her own parents could give her off so easily to someone she didn't even know. Rose realised she hadn't given her father a chance to tell her who it was she would be marrying.
"Who?" she demanded, her father seemed taken back a little by how force full she was being, normally she never raised her voice at all.
"it a very respectable well known pure blood family" her father said , trying and failing to regain some control over her. This just made Rose angry
"Who just tell me who it is I'm supposed to marry?" Roses anger groow with every second her father made her wait.
"Draco Malfoy" her father at last told her, she froze not believing what she has just heard.
No no it can't be not thee Draco Malfoy, the slytherin prince who had just made her life a living hell for the past seven years! Rose thought to herself.
"No ..." was all she could manage to whisper "I won't marry him "she said a bit louder, but it was no use her parents weren't listening anymore they were too busy talking about wedding preparations.
Rose felt cold inside; numb ... this year was defiantly going to be hell.
