Author's Note: HI, I know its been a while but this time of year I don't get a lot of free time. I don't own anything except the plot.
An alarm was shut off just as fast as it had gone off. The occupant of the bed sat up and looked out the window. Today was the day his life was ruined. The day he would meet the person who had been promised to him since before his birth. In a months' time, he would be married to a person he has never met. The black-haired boy stood and walked into his bathroom. Nothing would change his mind. His life was over and would never go his way.
The boy was Harry Potter, the fiancé to the youngest child of lord Malfoy.
To Harry's knowledge the Lord Malfoy has only ever had girls so why would this youngest be any different? He would be married to this girl even though he knew he was gay. He had thought about telling his parents before they dropped the bomb on him. Nineteen years and it never crossed their minds to tell him he has been trapped in an arranged marriage since before he was born. He never had the chance to prepare himself and except the inevitable.
Harry got out of the shower and dried off. As he got dressed he started to think some more. He knew that he wasn't mad at his fiancé. He knew that she had nothing to do with this because she was just a little over a mouth older than him. The deal was that after the marriage that the girl would have no claim to the Malfoy name but would serve as the glue that kept the two families from starting a rivalry. Harry felt sorry for his fiancé. He knew he could never love her the way she deserved but there was nothing he could do. There was no loop hole in the contract. They couldn't even get a divorce in the future. The only way to be freed of this is if one of them died and Harry did not wish for her death.
"EEEEEEE"
The boy was brought out of his thoughts by the sound of his pet. The griffin sat on the balcony waiting for Harry to come out and say hi. Harry smiled and walked over to the door and threw it open. The griffin nuzzled its head against Harry.
"Hey girl, I missed you too."
"Why do seem so down master?" the fact that the griffin talked was nothing new to the lord to be. Since he was five Harry had had the ability to talk to any animal if they trusted him and if the trust was mutual. It was a gift of the potter household that only the true heir has. This griffin had been his closet friend since he was nine.
"Hedwig, I have to marry a girl that I have never met. She is coming this afternoon and will be staying till the wedding. Then of course she will be staying here. There is no why out of this and we will never be able to get a divorce if we end up hating each other. You're the only one I've told that I have no interest in women. I cannot love her in any way. I hope we can be friend at least but I don't think that will happen. I afraid that she will be wanting a real relationship."
The griffin nudged her head against Harry. "It will be ok Harry. Just don't make any assumptions. You never know what she will be like. She might not want this anymore than you do."
Harry nodded his head, put on his glasses and looked at the clock. The time was 7:55. He knew he had to get down to breakfast or he would be in trouble.
"I have to go, I'll talk you after my fiancé gets here." Harry then left the room to find his food.
