Chapter 1
Granger/Weasley Wedding
Draco Malfoy looked around the Grand Ballroom of the Ministry, wondering if he should of just declined the invitation. It's not like Granger and Weasley were his friends, ithad been quite the opposite. Granted he normally was the first to crack an insult or an unkind gesture their way. There was only really one time he was ever even remotely kind towards them, when they were captured in the woods and he didn't give them up to his deranged Aunt Bella. He had seen what Bella would do to those she did like, he couldn't imagine what she would do to the trio. Even though that deception could of cost him his life, he never told her. It was that gesture that lead Hermione to testify on his behalf at his trial. The testimony that that ultimately granted him his freedom almost three years ago.
He quickly scanned the room, not one friendly face. He made his way to the bar and ordered a large glass of fire whiskey, before finding his name card at table 7, and taking his seat. Music filled the air as a sea of ginger danced about. He wondered to himself how long he had to stay without looking horribly rude.
He took a long gulp of his drink and hissed as it burned his thoat, he didn't even notice that the seat next to him was now occupied. He was wallowing in his own self he did all too often, when the blonde next to him spoke. She had an American accent, and her voice sounded a bit desperate.
"Are you here alone?" She questioned. "Excuse me?" He snorted. " I will buy all your drinks for the evening if you could please pretend to be my date." She offered her voice rushed. " I... I... I..." Draco stuttered. "My name is Lissy, I'm a friend of Hermione. That red headed groomsman will not leave me alone. Quite creepy really, he offered me a candy and my nose started to bleed. He found it very humorous, now he keeps asking me for a dance. I told him I was here with a date, but I'm not sure he believes me. Please, I really am quite lovely company." She begged. Draco finally got a good look at her she was really breathtaking. Long blondehair with soft beachy waves, clear blue eyes that was only inhanced by thesapphire dress she wore. "Draco Malofoy, your date for the evening." He said offering her his hand.
Lissy smiled her eyes sparkled as they both gazed at each other. Draco could of swore he felt a spark as their hands touched. That was quickly forgot as George Weasley quickly swooped in, "Ah there you are lovely! Ready for that dance now?" He asked Lissy. " George, this is my date Draco." She told him with a sweet smile. "Malfoy" George coldly stated as walked away. Dracogave him a curt nod.
"Thank you, so much." Lissy said as she placed a chaste kiss on his cheek. There was that spark again Draco thought to himself. " my honor."he replied smiling on the inside. They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity, both eyes locked one the others. "I promised you drinks." She said standing as they both made their wayto the bar.
"A large fire whisky and 3 vodka shots." She ordered paying for the drinks. He watched as she tipped one shot up, then the next, and then the last. "I'm not normally much of a drinker, but these last few months have been insane." She tells him and turn to order a vodka tonic with extra limes. They make their way back to the table. Draco, had placed his arm around the small of her back to help guide her, after watching her slightly stumble. He was fairly certain that she was being honest about not being much of a drinker. Back at their table they continue to make small talk as dinner is being served.
He told her about his potions company, a bit about his family and his love for quidditch. She talked about working for her fathers law firm in Chicago, but her real passion was an orphanage she volunteered her time at. Draco knew she had 4 sisters, one older and three younger. She went to Ilvermourny and was the only one in her family to be a Wampus Cat due to her gift of

Legilimency.
Several drinks later, and a lot of conversation Draco lead her out onto the dance floor. He smirked when he saw the evil glare he was receiving from George Weasley. He held her close as they swayed their body's back in forth with the music. She rested her head on his shoulder hebreathed in her scent. Like blackberry and vanilla. She was driving him wild.
She slightly moved her head up, he thought that she was ready to sit back down, but she turned and kissed him. Slow, controlled and passionate. He was lost in desire, as her mouth slightly parted granting him full access. It didn't matter that they were surrounded by people, right then and there they were the only two on the planet that mattered.
Draco, was brought back to reality when Hermione broke in." Nice to see you came Malfoy." She slyly spoke giving Lissy a wicked smirk. Ron just stood there holding his bride by her waist. "We're about to head out, thank you both for coming. Lissy I will miss you so much! Promise you'll come back to visit. Or maybe we will come to the states to see your beloved CUBs play." Hermione tells Lissy giving her a hug and walking away to say farewell to the rest of their guests.
"I guess the wedding is over? Care to join me for a tea or coffee?" He asked Lissy not wanting their evening to end. "I really should be apporating back to the states." She replied looking at her feet. Draco, gathered all his nerves and leaned down to whisper in her ear, "or you could stay at my flat, and apporate home tomorrow." She stood on her tiptoes and gave him another long passionate kiss, as a yes. They quickly and quietly left the ballroom hand in hand.
The next morning Draco awoke to a splitting headache and a note from Lissy. She thanked him for a wonderful evening and told him she had work to do back in the states. She told him after 3 Monroe's in England that their night together had been the best part of trip. She also told him to owl if he ever needed to talk or was in the states.
He plopped his head back down on the pillow. He could still smell the blackberry and vanilla or her shampoo or perfume. He got lost in her scent and drifted back off to sleep having sweet dreams of the previous night.
Meanwhile back at Malfoy Manor Narcissa was sitting alone at her breakfast table. She was reading the Daily Profit, she was on the article about the Granger/Weasley wedding when she noticed a small picture in the bottom left hand corner. The tag line read "Draco Malfoy leaves wedding with mistory blonde." Narcissa, smiled as she slowly got up disregarding her meal in front of her and headed up to her room.
She went to her dressing table and picked up a small silver hand mirror that was incrusted with emeralds. She closed her eyes and the mirror glowed and eerie green. A few seconds later a blonde woman appeared in the other side of the mirror. " Cissy! It's been ages! What do I owe this pleasantry?" The woman asked. "The prophecy! It's being fulfilled. Kate, can you believe it!" Narcissa exclaimed holding up the photo from the paper!
