CHAPTER 1
The letter
The Weasley's had money? Since when? Draco thought in disgust as he read the Daily Prophet. Oh, they'd been given large rewards for their 'important' role in the war. Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie, Fred, George, Ron and even Ginny had received vast amounts to thank them for their efforts. They were now comfortably well off, if not quite as rich as he was.
And what did he get for spying on his own father, giving information to the Order? Nothing, that's what he got. Of course the war wasn't completely over yet. Voldermort wasn't dead, but stripped of his powers and weakened. Most of his followers were in Azkaban right now. Including most of Lucius' friends and Lucius himself. Not that Draco's father wasn't around anymore. No, he'd paid generously so that in his cell he had a window to Malfoy Manor, which allowed him to watch and continue to try and run their lives.
(Now you may be wondering why I'm writing about a day where Draco Malfoy simply reads the daily paper. Well, I'll tell you, its because this day will actually be a turning point in Draco's life. You just have to be patient and read on.)
"Draco darling! C-could- Oh dear! Come here quickly!" His mother called from the dinning room. His curiosity overcame his laziness and he loped into the large room.
She looked shaken and pale and Draco frowned as he picked up what seemed to be the source of her disquiet. A letter.
…..Due to Fainal Malfoy and Beatrice Weasley's deal it seems that your son Master Draco Lucius Malfoy is betrothed to Miss Ginevre Weasley…there will be a meeting held tomorrow at 1pm in Department 9 of the Ministry of Magic….
And in their respective homes two very angry and confused people shouted
"WHAT?"
