So heres a story that been brewing in my head for awhile and has been distracting me from my other ideas. I think by creating this one to get the idea out it should help me to write for my other stories aswell.

Also Draco in probably my...third favourite character so he deserves to have a story ^_^

Hope you enjoy it!

Today was most definitely not my day.

"Stupid Idiots, Stupid Stupid Stupid." I muttered angrily to myself as I stared down at the book in my lap. I was so angry I didnt even realise my painted green nails digging into the leather cover.

"Its not all bad sis, they could've picked some one ghastly like Gregory Gole!" My older sister, Amelia, laughed across from me as she lounged on the black velvet couch. I snorted and glared at her but she continued to laugh at the seriousness of my face. Why did she already have to married? She could've taken my place but no she had to go and marry that damm Edward Marsden.

"Either option is as horrid as the other." I snarled throwing my book onto the floor infront of me, ruffling my crimson red hair in the process.

"Now now, dont get all in a huff. You should be grateful, enjoy it you might aswell." She exclaimed as she rose from her slouching position and fled from the room before I could respond with a rather colourful reply.

Grateful my arse! If I'd wanted to see Malfoy I wouldnt of done my best to avoid him at all costs when we were at school! AHHHHHHHH!

"ALEXIA!" Came my mothers booming voice from else where in the house, most likely the kitchen. For a pure blood family, it was strange that we didnt let the house elves cook, my mother didnt trust them and thought they would try to poison us. I rose from my arm chair and strolled out the lounge, sighing as I went.

I entered the kitchen, with my black boots clicking on the stone tiles and was greeted with my mother smiling at me as she stired what looked to be cake mix. Her short black hair was clipped up and she was dressed in a emerald green skirt and a white blouse, while her piercing green eyes were softly staring at me.

"Dear, please try to smile. Your face will stick like that if you keep it up." She smirked while I just pouted and slid onto the breakfast stool infront of the counter.

"Yeah well maybe then the Malfoys wont want me as their daughter in law." I sourly replied as I picked up an apple from the fruit bowl infront of me. She sighed and stopped what she was doing, leaning over and gently grasping my chin, pulling my face to look at her.

"Alex please, you know how important this is after the war-"

"Okay okay." I interrupted, pulling from her. "I know after the whole war thing. I dont need to hear it again. Just understand this is hard for me. I have to marry that prick!" I exclaimed, furrowing my brows softly. She nodded and continued to stir the mix before pouring it into a cooking container. It wasnt long before my father appeared in the room, fresh from work in his tailored deep red suit, his wild crimson hair sitting slightly disheveled atop his head. A trait I had inherited, although mine was thankfully alot longer then his reaching an inch or two above my hips.

"Afternoon family!" He greeted, strolling over to my mother, giving her a kiss before ruffling his hand in my hair. I was 19 for merlins sake, the hair ruffle is way in the past.

"Sweetheart, your daughter has had a sour look on her face all day, care to sort that out?" My mother said grinning at me, oh no. Before I could react I was swept off my stool in one large tickle assault on my ribs, courtesy of my oh so loving father.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yelled, trying to breathe but failing miserably. I could only hear a roar of laughter as my sister, her husband and their two year old son, Raphael, entered and saw me being attacked in a flash of red. Raphs small giggles could be heard over everything else, which only made the adults laugh even harder. Lucky for me, my father let up before I suffocated from lack of oxygen but left me in a shriveled up pile on the kitchen floor, my red hair fanned out underneath me creating a murder scene look.

Despite the things they may have done, I do love my family.

But they're still idiots.

I spent the next fews days blissfully ignoring everytime someone mentioned the name Malfoy. If I was going to be stuck with it for the rest of my life, I could hold off hearing it for a few more months. One friday evening the entire family was invited to Malfoy Manor for one of their annual dinner parties, this one obviously being different as my engagement was be announced to society. Balls.

My mother had come into my room around 10, throwing a large box into my room along with a smaller shoe box before disappearing. All before I even managed to lift my head from the pillow. Obviously she had chosen my outfit for the evening, then again I wouldn't trust myself to pick. I'd end up wearing jeans and a shirt before evening thinking about any sort of gown. I mean I was even tempted to wearing Jeans to the Yule ball a few years previous, but Snape threatened me with an infinite number of detentions. For him being my head of house you would've thought he'd been nicer to me.

Then again I was one of the backgroun Slytherins, not standing out or doing anything that would take anyones notice. I prefered it that way.

"Alex get your butt up before I come in there!" My fathers voice came from behind my door. I mumbled a few choice words before ripping myself from the warmth of my bed and onto the hard wooden floors of my bedroom. I heard him chuckle as he moved from my door and down the corridor while I plodded towards my door and out heading for the kitchen.

A choice I soon regretted. I entered with my ruby hair frazzled and sticking up in various directions, wearing my dark purple pj bottoms and a grey vest top only to be greeted with my mother conversing with none other then-

"Ahh Alex! Draco arrived to inform us of the time change for the party tonight." My mother cheerily said, motioning toward the ice blonde standing next to her who was giving me a mix between amusement and annoyance. I stood there frozen to the spot, I had to come down looking like shit at this moment didnt I? His silver eyes dug into my own green ones as we stood there awkwardly.

"I-Im gonna go now." I mumbled before staggering out the kitchen, my face now matching my hair.

Alex you twat! Just made a fool of yourself, nice going.
Shut it.

I was now in a slightly foul mood and decided to hide out in my bedroom until I needed to get ready, desperately hoping Malfoy had gone back to his ferret hole. Eventually I was forced to shower and get dressed as it was reaching 6pm and we had to be at the Manor at 7.

My mother curled my hair and pinned it up while I did my make up with foundation, a few layers of mascara and abit of eye liner. I didnt want to look like an over done clown. The outfit she had bought me consisted of 4 inch black heels with a green metal snake wrapped around the side of my feet and up to my toes and a black strapless cocktail dress which came to an inch above my knees. Simple but perfect.

After one last check in the mirror I headed downstairs. On entering the lounge I was immediately grabbed by Raphael who looked adorable in his little black suit trousers and white shirt.

"Aleeeeex!" He cried hugging onto my leg, I laughed picking up the small boy and held him on my hip.

"Raaaaaaaaph!" I cooed bopping him up and down earning a huge laugh from the miniature brunette. My sister laughed as she held onto her husband who was smiling at us.

"Now now dont go getting all messed up, we dont want to make a bad first impression." Came my mothers voice behind me, Raph and I just stuck out tongues out and giggled. I looked around and my father gave us all a nod, signaling to apperate.

With a pop we were gone from our home and appeared in the Malfoys entrance hall. Lucky for me the toddler had become used to apperating with his parents so there was no chance of him vomiting on my dress. I held him out to my sister, despite his protest she took him in her arms and began to pout at being taken away from me. The faint noise of music could be heard a little way away and a clacking of shoes could be heard approaching us.

"Ahh Gabriel, good to see you." Lucius' called as he came into view with his wife Narcissa and the ferret boy himself trailing behind. He took my fathers hand and shook it tightly.

"And to you Lucius, you're all looking well this evening." My father politely replied giving them all a curt smile. I stood there smiling but I could feel Draco's glare burning into my skin. Jeez what did I do?

"This must be dear Alexia, we havent seen you in a few years and I must say how beautiful you've grown to be." Narcissa said, softly inspecting me with her eyes.

"Yes, she is delightful isnt she Draco?" Lucius said turning his gaze to his son, who just nodded. My father clapped his hands together before grinning at the Malfoys.

"Shall we go in then?"

"Of course. Follow me." He replied before turning to Draco.

"Escort her in Draco, she is your fiancé afterall." Our families left us in the entrance hall, standing there once again awkwardly. He didnt look even the slightest bit happy.

The feelings Mutual.

"Lets go." He grumbled taking my arm in his, not being in the slightest bit gentle causing me to yelp. He kept the sour look on his face the entire way to the entertainment room, although I 'accidently' trod on his foot in response to his harsh grabbing of my arm. Needless to say that only worsened his mood and improved my amusement.

We had never really spoken at school, maybe a few times during house events and classes but other then that I tried to avoid him at all cost. He was vile, now I had to spend the rest of my life with him...Hooray...

We reached the doors and they opened revealing the dark decore of the Malfoys entertainment/ball room and the guests within it. Before we could split a large man stannding near by began to speak.

"Introducing for the first time Draco Lucius Malfoy and his fiancé Alexia Lysandra Colfang." The people within began to clap and stare at us before they went back to their conversations. I tried to pull from his grasp but he just held it tighter.

"We have to speak to people together you idiot" He hissed in my ear, I growled at him.

"Whats your problem Malfoy?" I sneered, trying to shake his grip on me.

"You are. Why on earth my parents are making me marry you is beyond me."

"You rude arrogant burke!" I yelled quietly as I stomped on his foot with full force. He held back a cry of pain and looked like he was trying to set me on fire with his ice cold eyes.

"I'd watch myself if I were you Colfang, I wont put up with a disobidiant wife." I snorted and leant towards his ear.

"Try and stop me, Draco." I whispered before he let go of me and I fled towards my sister.

Ahhh well thats the first chapter! Mwuhahaha I hope you did enjoy it and I will continue to update this one in between updating my other story 'We The Kings' which does not relate to this one in any way shape or form.

Please Review and thanks for reading!
