My life is awful.

Why? I hear you asking. And I, being the kind slytherin I am, shall tell you. I am going to marry James Sirius Potter in two months.

I guess my life at the moment isn't awful but the future will be. Urgh! James Bloody Potter! Why him?! Now dont get me wrong, he is very good looking and any normal girl would be over the moon to get there teeth into that big hunk of man but here's my issue, he has never spoken to me ever.

I have gone to school with the boy for 7 years, my brother is going out with his favourite cousin and he has never had a conversation with me. How am I supposed to marry this guy?

Ok, I'm not being entirely fair, I haven't exactly tried to have a conversation with him eitherbut he just swaggers round the joint like he owns the friggin' place just because his dad vanquished the Dark Lord (which my parents didnt really help with).

Yeah, by the way, my name is Taylor Althea Malfoy. Yes, yes I know! That means my parents are Draco and Astoria Malfoy and my YOUNGER brother is Scorpious Malfoy. People tend to think he is older because he is taller but it is not my fault that I am only 5ft 2in at the age of 17! And because I am a Malfoy, that also means I have platinum blonde hair that is down to my waste because my mother says it is a waste to cut such beautiful hair and that I should be proud to have the strong Malfoy gene. But it does get in the way!

Once, when Scorp was 9,he got mad at me and couldn't control his magic so turned my hair bright pink! It was fantastic! Mum was so annoyed but she knew Scorp couldn't control his magic yet so just changed it back and went to read a book in the library.

When I leave home, the first thing I am gonna do is change my hair colour! I do love my hair but sometimes you can get bored of one thing. See that is the thing about me, I tend to get bored with sticking to one thing for too long. But you can't change who you are!

Anyways, I seemed to have missed a crucial part of this story (I do seem to digress a lot- sorry) and that is why am I getting married to James Potter?

And again I can hear what you are asking "Didn't you say that you have never spoken to him?" And no I have never spoken to him.

It is because of the stupid new law the ministry have imposed that pairs a pureblood witch/wizard (me) and a muggleborn/halfblood witch/wizard (Potter) together to marry.

This is all very well but I can still hear you asking why?! And so again I shall be a lovely slytherin and tell you!

Because of the war, there is alot animosity (bad vibes) towards purebloods because they were the majority of Voldemort's supporters.

And there has always been a little bit of prejudice towards muggleborns from the purebloods. Who am I kidding?! There has always been ALOT of prejudice towards muggleborns from the purebloods.

But even though I am a pureblood, my father was adamant that we are never prejudice towards any blood status and taught us proper etiquette in wizarding society and this may shock some people but us Malfoys have really changed since the wizarding war and my father really prides himself on how he has changed even though some people dont respect him because of his past death eater days.

He is a healer and a very good one at that. My mother works in the department of mysteries so is an unspeakable and can't talk about work.

Anyway, enough of the back story, the ministry obviously doesn't think that we purebloods are interacting very well with the wizarding community so we are being forced into arranged marriages. There is apparently a highly recommended (Recommended by who? Who else would need to do this?) system that pairs people with major similarities that will make them "click". It obviously isn't that good.

Now, you may be thinking "How is she so calm? If I were to be forced into a marraige with somone I didn't know, I would be freaking out!"

But I found out a week ago, in the middle of the Easter holidays. I have managed to get my head round it to a certain extent.

When I got my letter from the ministry I sunk to the ground and sobbed for three hours until Scorp came in with a hot chocolate and we had a chat. He is only 15 so is not affected by the law yet because they can only apply these laws to wizards of age and I am 17.

And anyway he is deeply in love with James' cousin and the pair are coming up to their year annerversary. He has met James and approves of him and I trust Scorp so he can't be that bad and our parents are fine with the Potter/Weasleys so they have no objection with Scorp and Rose and now James and I.

Now at this point, you are probably wondering where I am. And again, being the lovely snake I am, I shall tell you. I am on the Hogwarts express, in a cabin by themself, writing this.

We left about five hours ago and so are about 5/6 of the way there. I have had a kip ( a nap to the non-english folk) and have eaten my way through 6 chocolate frogs and 4 pumpkin pasties with Scorp and my girly friends,

Emma Zabini (a strong willed, dark haired man eater) and Kayla Roads (a quiet but funny, red head that always manages to help a situation and calm people down) , as well as my best friend in the whole world Richard Flint.

I met Rich when I was four because our fathers used to fly together at school and we just meshed. He is so funny and I can confide anything to him, I know about his first crush (Sophie Adams- a hufflepuff in the year below),his first kiss (Emma! I know! Plot twist! But they are totally over it now), his parents relationship (which is good) ect. ect. And he knows the same about me. We are like two peas in a pod.

But Scorp has gone to "catch up" with Rose, in other words they will be snogging in the toilet. And Em and Kay have gone to flirt with some boys (even though they are betrothed now) and Rich has gone to see his guy friends. So here I am by myself. We have about half an hour left so I am going to get into my robes.

I'm sat in the great hall at the moment eating the feast with Em, Kay and Rich, talking about our holidays.

We finished our N.E.W.T. exams last term but won't get our results until the summer so we have one whole term to go to lessons learnning extra information that could help you in later life so you could stop going this term but most people don't want to leave Hogwarts just yet.

And our graduation is at the end of the year anyway so we might as well stay.

I dived into roast beef that the house elves somehow managed to make better than my mothers (dont tell her I said that), until I am completely satisfied and cannot move. Obviously, that is until the desserts come out and I make it my mission to eat a whole apple pie with cream.

Once we have all finished, Flitwick starts to get up and makes an announcement. This is rather unusual because it is the start of the last term and everything we need to know should have been mentioned before.

I can see the first years gwarp at him in worry, awww small children.

Flitwick points his wand to his throat that magically enhances his voice and announces "All the seventh years please stay behind so we can show you to your corresponding rooms and so you can meet your betrowtheds."

My stomarch drops, I haven't thought about James since the train ride.

This should be good.

A/N This is my first fanfiction and I only want to make it better so please review to give me ideas or help me correct this

Should I make James be the one opposed to the idea and not try or Taylor?

What could be used to make them learn about each other?

I have a few ideas but woul love your help :)

taaaaa xxxx
