The unwanted marriage
Chapter 1
In the middle of November, in one of the rooms of the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley sat at his desk working immensely when an elegant looking golden coloured owl landed gracefully on his desk. He looked up when it hooted. He untied the letter. The Malfoy crest was stamped on the front of the letter.
'Why would malfoy send a letter to me?' Arthur thought. Suspiciously he opened up the letter and read it,
Arthur Weasley,
Please meet me at Diagonally café shop at lunch. There is something very important to be discussed between us.
Thank you,
Lucius Malfoy
He placed the letter back into the envelopment and continued working trying to ignore the suspiciousness, which was forming at the back of his head.
At lunch, Arthur weasley apparated to café in diagonally. When he entered the café he saw familiar blond sitting at one of the tables. He walked towards Malfoy and sat down,
"So Malfoy what is it that you wanted to talk about?" asked Arthur
"Your debt" answered malfoy
The Weasley's borrowed some money from the Malfoy's to help Charlie who fell off from a dragon during training. The trainers, who were with him, admitted Charlie in St.Mungos and called the Weasley's to the hospital, the healers had to perform an operation, which was far more than the Arthur could pay. So the Malfoy's lend them some money by signing a contract.
"I would pay you Lucius, as soon as I can" answered Arthur
" When will that be Weasley? It has been one and a half year already!" the blonde man replied
"Lucius I will pay back in three months" Arthur said
"I want the money before Christmas," Lucius said in a final tone.
"But I can't, you know I cannot pay you back 12000 galleon in one month" answered Arthur
" In knew you couldn't, that's why I have proposition for you" smirked Lucius
Arthur had a funny feeling about the proposition about this. Why lucius have a proposition, when all he wants to do is ruin his life.
" What is it?" asked Arthur curiously
"You do know that my son turned 17 last month. You also know that malfoy's have to be married in one month after they have turned 17." Said lucius
"WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT MALFOY?" growled Arthur
"So you want a straight forward answer then. I want your daughter's hand for marriage with my son. I want the marriage finished before they go back to school after winter break." Replied lucius
"Why my daughter? Why not Parkinson girl or Bulstrode?" Arthur rested his head in his hands tiredly.
"Well to start with your daughter because he is a pureblood, beautiful, can give an heir and your girl has more brains then the Parkinson and Bulstrode. My son has to marry your daughter so that the malfoy line won't go thin!" answered lucius one by one.
" I will not agree to that! Something else?" pleaded Arthur
"No! I want my money in one month then" ordered lucius getting up to leave
"Fine! Fine…I will give my daughter," responded Arthur dejectedly
"Excellent! I knew you would join the proposition," muttered Lucius sitting back down
As Lucius sat back down Arthur got up to leave but Lucius stopped him again spoke,
"Wait Arthur, why don't we make this agreement permanent?"
Lucius brought up a paper in front of them by the wand.
Arthur looked puzzled, so lucius went on, "you will sign here to say that you agree to this marriage"
The red-head man sat back down and stared at the for a few minutes. He did not want his daughter to suffer all her life for his fault. What about schooling? She won't even finish school? His little princess wanted to become a healer not sit at home being a wife for Malfoy at such a young age! Her dreams would be shattered because of him…
Lucius as if reading his mind answered him, "If you are thinking of Virginia's schooling then don't worry, I would let her finish Hogwarts but if she wants to work after school that will depend on Draco's decision."
After hearing that all the weight, which was weighing upon Arthur was lifted. He picked up the quill to sign it when another question shot into his brain.
"Malfoy, my daughter wanted to go to medical school after Hogwarts. Will she be able to complete it?" he asked
"Don't worry about that, she can complete any course she wants after Hogwarts, we will even pay for it" Lucius replied
After hearing that Arthur signed with a broken heart. He did not know how he was going to break the news to molly, the boys and most of all, his daughter Ginny. She was going to be the one who is going to be affected!
"Please send Virginia a letter about this. Draco would find out about his bride-to-be immediately" said lucius getting up, also folding the parchment.
Arthur just nodded. He couldn't speak at this moment. He just hoped that this happened for the best.
"The marriage will take place in two weeks. Narcissa will make all the preparation in the manor for the marriage since it would be there where the marriage will take place, our wives will take care for the wedding gown and all the accessories" lucius said
"ok, I will tell molly to contact your wife by owl. I need get going, goodnight!" said Arthur as he apparated away.
The burrow came in front of him in a flash. He did not want to know what would happen! But he let time do its job and stepped into the burrow.
