This part will be from Draco`s point of view so hope you like it. Enjoy! Sorry its short again, I found it harder to write from Draco`s POV without slipping out of character. :(

Love through Law
Chapter 3
He thought he was about to thrown up. Granger. The hat had just said Granger. He looked up and caught eye contact with her, she looked so, so helpless. It was like she was lost. Pain, fear and confusion blazed in her eyes as the two stared at each other. Grey into brown, while the hall exploded around them and after finally quieting down all Draco wanted to do was shout. Anger pursed through every vein in his body as the girl, well woman she was now, rose to her feet. Draco stared at her, along with the rest of the hall, and could tell the cogs were turning in her head, she was lost in thought. Then she did it. She ran straight out. Draco sighed and wished with his whole heart he could run too. Run from marriage, from his parents. What would his father say, something embarrassing and discriminating probably. And his mother, oh she would fuss so much and pretend that it wasn't a law that the two were marrying for but love. Love what did it even mean. His parents had never married for love and Draco hardly knew anything about the concept. But Granger. God help him, he had to marry her. Similar personalities, McGonagall had said but Draco could see no way that him and Granger were similar.
While Draco was daydreaming war had broken out again in the great hall. Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws cleverly avoided getting involved in the brawl between the two other houses. McGonagall was frantically trying to regain control over the fight but failing. Curses were being fired, lighting up the hall like a firework display.
"Silence" a voice bellowed which made Draco wake from his daydreaming state and stared around the hall. It was a mess; obviously duelling had taken place between the feuding houses of Gryffindor and Slytherin. McGonagall woke the dazed students that had suffered attacks and before carrying on with the marriage sorting turned to Draco. "If you would go after..."
"Yes" Draco interrupted. He had to get away from all the glaring eyes and empathetic faces. Draco practically ran out the hall and headed towards the dungeons before stopping. If he had to marry Granger then he would have to talk to her at least. He turned and headed towards the grounds to get some air to think but as he walked outside he noticed footprints in the wet grass. Realizing they were Grangers he followed them and reached the lake.
He saw Granger sat on the edge of the lake moonlight beaming over "The Golden Girl". He noticed she looked older, more mature but also lonely, much like how the war had affected him. This was a broken girl. A girl who had been bullied her whole life, mostly by him, a girl who had lost so much and for the first time he felt ashamed of what he had done. And now she had to marry him, and him her. That was the moment that made him walk over towards her. Most people would have wanted to turn and leave her, but that wasn't what he did. She hated him but he walked up to her. He had to marry her for god's sake.
