DISCLAIMER: I wish but I do not own any part of the HP world, all belongs to one Ms JK Rowling.

Harry had a rather rough day, he had hoped his first week would go better than this, laying down on Draco's bed he took his glasses off and rubbed his eyes, only to be awoken by Draco a few hours later.

"Scar head, you missed Tea, I brought some up, Why are you asleep on my bed, is everything ok?" Draco asked sitting next to him.

"Not really, just a shocking day if I am honest, I blew up a cauldron on such a simple potion this morning, I sucked at Quidditch practice, as you know, I broke two quills and for the first time in my life I wish I was at home." Harry replied in between food.

"Tell me you mean home as in Malfoy Manor?" Draco watched Harry nod. "Astoria has replied to your Letter if that makes today better?" Draco read over Harry's shoulder as he read.

Dear Harry,

A Potions Master, that is amazing,

about me taking my OWLS this year. He thinks I have potential, do not worry,

Harry smiled and put the Letter with the others, it indeed cheered him up, he was very glad Today was Friday.

Wearing black straight legged jeans and a newly pressed white shirt with dress shoes, Harry appeared in front of the Academy, taking a deep breath, Harry walked into a sea of blue uniforms. A Green rose ; thankfully sent by Narcissa once he had owled her about his plans, he slowly walked to where he was told Astoria would be sat.

"Tori?" Harry asked looking down at the brown haired beauty.

"Harry! What are doing here?" Astoria asked in surprise, standing up to 'take him in'.

"We have permission from both Headteachers to get to know each other" Harry bent down on one knee, the rose in hand "Will you Astoria Greengrass please escort me for a day of fun?" Harry asked, he was rather nervous and hoped when he would propose it would be easier than this!

Taking the rose Astoria grinned rather slyly

"Get up you, lets go." As the pair walked out of the rather large building, Tori turned to Harry, "I was rather disappointed with you when I had not received a reply this morning. However surprising me like this is lovely, what do you have planned?"

Harry simply held out his arm for Astoria to take as he apparated them to their destination.

Appearing at the start of the Great Wall Of China, Harry watched Tori look up in awe.

"I thought we could walk, talk and take in the view, we will not be able to walk the full length as it takes around 18 months."

After an awkward silence Harry looked at Tori, she was frowning, had he done something wrong?

"Astoria, do you wish to go home?" Harry had stopped her.

"No, listen, I know I am not what you would have chose in a wife, I am from a pureblood family, we don't attend the same school and my sister is your 'Enemy', we have spoken very little and in a few weeks, your family have a ball that will basically be showcasing us as... what ever this is between us." Astoria motioned between the two.

"Tori, are you nervous about the ball?" Harry looped an arm around Astoria and then backed off again. "Sorry I don't know how to act, is this allowed? Are we courting? Do you even want to court me, I court you even?" Harry asked shuffling his feet.

"Yes, I suppose I am and yes I would be extremely happy for you to court me Harry. Although I feel better now that we are courting, well at least your as nervous as me! There is a few rules, which are different for every courtship, we may link arms, hug and kiss on the cheek until we are engaged then we can hold hands and kiss on the lips, all 'other' activities for once we are married." Astoria said linking her arm into Harry's.

After a picnic stop, all made by the elves, another few hours of walking getting to know each other, Harry apparated Astoria back to Beauxbatons, with a kiss on her cheek and a promise of a letter before then nights end, Harry apparated back to his room at Hogwarts.

"Good day?" Draco snook up behind Harry with a plate of food as promised.

"Thanks and yes I, it was lovely, I now have a Girlfriend of whom is my Intended and we will be attending our Yule ball together in a few weeks, I suppose I must inform Cissa or she will send a howler if she isn't first told." Harry and Draco smirked knowingly as Draco passed Harry some parchment and a quill.

"Draco, are you and Hermione Dating?"

"You will find out who my date is as the Yule Ball." Was all his brother replied back.

Dear, Lucius, Cissa & Sirius,

Thank you so much for your help and advice with Tori,

We are now officially courting,

Cissa, we will be courting for several years so please do not get any ideas!

Although, if everything carries on the way we plan the marriage contract will be put to use.

Speak soon,

Love Harry.

Giving the letter to Hedwig with a treat, Harry finished his tea and took another parchment wondering what to write to his new GIRLFRIEND.

Dear Tori,

I am very glad you enjoyed our first date,

I am also rather glad we are both on the same page

regarding our Marriage Contract,

don't worry, I told Cissa we have intended a rather long courtship,

so no Marriage in the future,

Draco was ready for me when I walked in, luckily without too many questions!

I hope this week goes better for you and again sorry that the older girls have not been so easy,

at least its your last year!

I forgot to say, I will happily attend your Graduation and you will be the only one I cheer for!

Write back soon, Harry.

Harry put the parchment in some envelope and sent Hedwig on her way as soon as she came back with a reply from Cissa, he put it on his desk, promising himself he would look in the morning, as he jumped into bed, he shut his eyes with a smile on his face.
