Expecting a Bride
"Draco dear, come along!" Narcissa Malfoy yelled up the stairs impatiently, "You don't want to keep your guests waiting do you?"
Upstairs Draco took one last look in the mirror. He had put on a pair of grey dress robes to match his eyes. Today he left his hair natural because he thought it looked less sophisticated. He didn't want to go downstairs under any circumstances because he knew what awaited him, a sniveling, unimportant, unnecessary, unimpressive Weasley, the youngest one to be exact.
'Ginny,' Draco toyed with the name in his head, 'What an unbearably cute name. I shall call her Virginia because it has at least some class.'
Draco left his room, following the winding hallway to the stairs. He descended them with such poise and elegance that most girls would swoon. Walking up to Molly Weasley he kissed both of her pudgy cheeks as a greeting. Molly politely said hello as Draco turned to her daughter. Gathering Virginia Weasley's hand in his own Draco gently kissed it.
"Hello Virginia," Draco said quietly never dropping her slender hand.
"Good morning Draco," Virginia replied kindly.
Draco slid his hand up to the crook of Virginia's arm and led her into one of the adjoining parlors. Sitting down in one of the plush, overstuffed love seats Draco beckoned Virginia to sit. She followed his orders.
"You do know why you're here don't you Weasley?" Draco sneered.
"No not really but I wouldn't expect it to be anything of great importance if it involves you," Virginia replied icily.
"You shall be living here under my rules for the rest of the summer, you will be staying in my dorm room at Hogwarts, and you will be here for all holidays. You shall obey orders and remember Malfoy women are to be seen and not heard. If you disobey me there will be punishment. Do not ever try to escape because this was arranged by our mothers at birth when they were friends. Are we understood?" Draco said viciously.
"You have no control over me!" Virginia replied calmly back.
"Oh someone has their panties in a twist!" Draco replied to the upset girl.
"Don't for one second, Draco Malfoy, think that you ever had any effect on my panties!" Virginia replied snidely.
"Well fine but you will be under my control," Draco replied standing up. He walked to the door then whipped around beckoning Virginia to his side. Rolling her eyes she walked to him. Draco slid his arm around the red heads thin waist.
Turning to him Virginia said, "Your hand better not go any lower then where it is."
The couple, if you could even call them that, walked out of their parlor and into another one. The new parlor was lavishly decorated in greens and silvers.
'Ugh how gaudy,' Virginia thought to herself.
The mothers were talking about the arranged marriage when the two walked in. Narcissa stood up and strode out the door, Draco on her heels.
"You explained the rules to the girl I presume," Narcissa said curtly.
"Yes mother," Draco replied, "She hadn't known about the marriage."
"Well what did you expect from the Weasley's?" Narcissa asked.
"Not much more then some decent manners, when am I to propose?" Draco replied to his mother waiting for the conversation to end.
"Tonight, I have a romantic dinner and dessert planed for you in the rose garden," Narcissa said to her only son.
"Fine that will do," Draco said as he listened to his mother go into depth of how he was to propose.
*****************************Mean While*****************************
"Virginia dear," Molly started as Narcissa and Draco wandered out of the parlor, "Did you and Draco have a nice talk?"
"I guess," Virginia mumbled to her mother.
"Good, good," Molly replied distractedly, "I have some news, you and Draco..."
"Are to be married it's been planed since we were babies blah, blah, blah."
"Virginia Weasley do NOT talk to your mother that way!" Molly said.
"Sorry," Virginia mumbled.
"It's quiet alright, since you know then we are finished but if you screw this up you will have to find a way to provide for yourself!" Molly told her daughter seriously.
"Yes mum, they are coming back," Virginia said changing the subject.
The door opened, Virginia and Molly stood as Draco and Narcissa walked in. Draco motioned for them to sit down and they obeyed. Virginia made herself comfortable on the fainting chair and Draco joined her. Virginia seriously thought of pushing him off when he put his hand on her thigh but she just gave him a warning look which made him move his hand higher up her leg. Molly's face turned red and Narcissa ignored her sons actions and continued her conversation with Mrs. Weasley.
"Come along love," Draco said to Virginia, "We shall go get changed for supper."
"Alright, will you be showing me to my room?" Virginia asked.
"Yes darling," Draco said then whispering, "Don't think of it as your room think of it as our room."
Virginia didn't say anything she just followed Draco along a winding staircase. As they went up the pictures looked over the red headed girl with interest. They had seen Draco take many women up to his room but none like this one. She was different, they knew she would stay. Virginia just followed looking from the ground at the luxurious, plush white carpet, to the golden walls, to the lovely chandeliers. They reached the top of the stairs and Draco led them down a dark winding hallway. He stopped when they reached a set of French doors. Opening them Draco let Virginia walk in ahead of him, Draco motioned for Virginia to sit on the bed and she followed orders.
"You will wear this," Draco commanded showing Virginia a beautiful crème colored silk gown, "You will be dressed and in the rose garden at 9:00 on the dot for dinner, we will both be getting ready in here. Since we are to be married do not be shy about anything as I will eventually see everything."
"Ha, ha, ha," Virginia replied taking the dress and walking into the adjoined bathroom and locking the door.
"I didn't dismiss you get back here!" Draco yelled after her. When all he heard was the shower turn on he sighed and walked over to his wardrobe to get a tux for the night.
*****************************Getting Ready****************************
Turning on the two shower heads, Virginia pulled off her old clothes and looked at them.
'I guess those rags are to be thrown away,' she thought to herself, 'Oh well no big lose there.'
Virginia walked into the shower looking around to make sure she had everything she needed then she finally noticed her surroundings. The floors were tiles of slate, the counter was also tiled with the beautiful stone, and the sinks were both porcelain. Virginia looked at the walls, they were painted a tan color, and on the wall next to the garden tub were two large windows that let you see out onto the grounds. Two of the walls in the shower were made out of glass block, letting Virginia see into the bathroom and bedroom all at once.
'Shit,' Virginia thought to herself, 'He can see me.'
Draco hadn't been watching and he wouldn't he was just teasing the girl to make her uncomfortable. Virginia didn't know this so as soon as she was done in the shower and had one of the fluffy white robes on the stormed out of the bathroom.
"You were watching me!" she accused to the bored looking Draco.
"Oh you know it," Draco replied sarcastically.
"Don't lie I know more about you then you think Draco Malfoy and you would do something like that!" Virginia accused.
"No I wouldn't Virginia, you know less about me then you think so don't even start," Draco replied taking a intimidating step forward, "I did not look and will not look now go get dressed so that I can take a shower, and don't think that you know much about me until you really do!"
Virginia walked slowly into the bathroom then closed the door behind her, she thought about how maybe he really didn't look and she didn't really know him. Sliding off her robe she put on her bra and underwear and slid the silk dress on. Looking in the mirror she approved of what she saw and threw her hair up into an elegant French twist. Walking out of the bathroom Virginia looked at the time, it was 8:00 already.
"Dinner has been moved up to 8:30 because you are done early. If you'd like you can go find the garden or you can wait in here for me," Draco said almost kindly.
"I'll just wait in here," she replied looking around the room.
"You may look through your wardrobe and tell me if you approve of the new clothes."
"You really didn't need to buy me new clothes," Virginia replied in a voice of thanks.
"Did you look at your old clothes….we really did need to buy them," Draco said getting his bad boy act back.
Virginia just made a noise of frustration and walked to the wardrobe as Draco closed the door. Looking in the wardrobe Virginia say pairs of slacks with matching turtle necks, beautiful gowns, elegant dress robes, delicate skirts, stylish tops, and a few colorful sundresses. Fingering the material she found that all the clothes were made out of either virgin wool, silk, or cotton. She closed the door to the wardrobe just as Draco opened the bathroom. Virginia looked at the clock which read 8:25. She surveyed Draco's outfit, a stylish black tux, his hair was left down, and he had a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
Draco handed the flowers to the girl and led her by the arm through the house and to the garden. There was a table for two set with their elegant bone china and crystal glasses. Draco pulled a chair out for Virginia and then made his way to his own. He hated to admit it even to himself but the girl did look gorgeous tonight.
Draco put his hand casually into his pocket and toyed with the small velvet box. The waiter served their appetizer and wine, Virginia sipped the drink then asked if she could have a butterbeer. Draco nodded and snapped his fingers, and the waiter came back.
"Yes Sir?" the man inquired.
"Walters, please get the beautiful lady a butterbeer," Draco asked the waiter.
"Right away Sir."
"What's wrong with the wine?" Draco asked curiously.
"Oh I had never had it before and I don't care for it," Virginia said.
"Oh ok," Draco mumbled, "Virginia would you please marry me?"
Pulling out the velvet box and revealing the ring Draco thought to himself, 'Why am I doing this I don't love her.'
'Oh yeah real nice Draco,' Virginia thought then said in mono-tone while standing up, "Yes of course I will marry you dear."
Wincing Draco stood up and strode over to the girl sliding the ring onto her slender finger. Virginia hugged Draco while mentally puking and he hugged her back while doing the same.
"Let's get this show on the road," Virginia mumbled softly.
"What do you mean," Draco asked.
"Oh yeah like our parents will really think we love each other with that pathetic display you just put on," Virginia whispered harshly so the waiter couldn't hear, "How about we tell them…"
