Chapter 4: Letters and Marriage Contracts

When Draco and Dustin woke up they saw the letters awaiting them sitting on the desk in their room. Draco immediately recognized the handwriting being that of Pansy, who was still under the impression they were dating and going to be married. Dustin saw the handwriting and started to worry, it was from Hermione. Both Dustin and Draco traded looks when they saw who the letters were from, and to both of their surprise, two owls were awaiting return letters. Draco opened his letter first and read it aloud so Dustin could hear what it said.

Draco darling,

I have heard the strangest news about you and a certain Harry Potter being together. Now Draco hunny you know we are to be married so I want you to break it off with him now and come back to me or I will go to your father with this news. Surely the Dark Lord would not be happy to know that his second-in-command's son is sleeping with the enemy.

Now what is this about the Dark Lord having a son with a mudblood? I thought he was better than that. Who is his son, and will he be able to get me in our Lord's good graces? Since everyone knows that you will more than likely be the leader to the junior death eaters I want to be as close to you as a wife should. We both know that the marriage is one of convince and was agreed upon when we were but only three years old but we can learn to live with each other. That is as long as you follow my wishes/orders when it concerns certain things that is.

My father will not tell me much anymore about the recent Death Eater meeting that was held just a few days ago. All that he would say was that there will be two new Death Eaters come this Friday, and they are not to be messed with. I know that you are to be inducted sometime this summer but none of the other students in Slytherin are allowed to until after their sixth year. Which is truly not fair at all and really bothering some students in Slytherin. Who is the other person? Is it the Dark Lord's son? What is he like? I want to know and I want to know now Draco. You maybe the Slytherin Prince but if you noticed I am the Slytherin Queen and I thus outrank you.

We need to make new plans to defeat or capture Harry Potter so we can deliver him to our Lord. Write back soon or I shall go to Lord Malfoy, about your little affair with the Boy-Who-Lived.

Always your,

Pansy

"Ok, that was one weird, shitty letter and I can't wait for her to tell her that the marriage contract is void now since I am in love with the Dark Lord's Heir. Wait it's been void since she tried to get me in her bed third year. Oh how I wish I could see her face when I tell her that the Boy-Who-Lived is the Heir to the Dark Lord. Damn I am so very happy to be rid of that bitch finally after years of listening to her say that I am her 'property'. Well what do you think Dustin, reply or read your letter?" Draco says after reading the letter.

"I say we write your reply first then read Hermione's letter. I want to hold off for a few minutes before I read her letter." Dustin replies.

Pansy,

You really need to get a grip on reality there girl. Harry Potter is the Dark Lord's Heir and that is not his name anymore. His name is now Dustin Marvolo Riddle, so I would suggest that you get the marriage contract out of your head. My father happened to declare it void back in third year when you tried to have sex with me against my will when I had told you I did not like you in that way at all. Also a new marriage contract is not even going to be written for me and you will have a hard time finding someone who wants a girl that was dumped by the Malfoy's. And just so you know Dustin and I have been together for awhile and are going to be together for the rest of our years, until death. My father and the Dark Lord approve of this and both have said that they are not going to force us into a marriage unless we want it. So have fun finding someone that meets your standards and will actually listen to any of the bullshit you say.

I never did like you, not even as a friend and your not even smart enough to match my skills or Dustin's so just stop trying to think of ways to get me back. It is not going to work at all. Dustin will be with me forever which is more than I can say for you. Your mind is on gaining power and nothing else and keep this in mind. If you try to do anything to Dustin or myself then you will not live to join the Death Eaters and that is not a threat but a promise. So to put it simply as my boyfriend keeps telling me: Fuck off Bitch and stay the hell away from me.

Keep it in mind,

Draco

"So, do you think that she will get the point after that letter Dustin or should one of our fathers write one as well?"

"Damn, Draco, if I had known you could write that evil I would have told you to do that for anyone who might mess with us this year. Okay now on to Hermione's letter."

Harry/Dustin,

I heard from Ron yesterday that you left the Dursley's which I am grateful for since I know how you hate it there. What I don't understand though is why you claim to no longer be Harry James Potter but Dustin Marvolo Riddle. You do know that Voldemort killed your parents, yet you are taking his name? I don't understand this but I do know and did know about you and Draco being together last year. You did give me your map after all. Please help me to understand why you suddenly switched sides. I have the feeling that their is something else going on too since Sirius and Remus seem to have closed up around Head Quarters, more so than ever before. What is up with them? I know that according to the Weasley's they were there with you and Draco and cast hexes on them but why would they do that?

According to Ron and Dumbledore you provoked the attack which I know is not true, because Ron was your first friend. I am beginning to wonder if you should have taken Draco's hand in friendship first year. He probably would have helped you more than Ron did when it came to the stone, then again he was a pain in the ass to you then. If you are wondering how I knew that Draco had changed its because he stopped calling me 'Mudblood' and started calling me Granger. I don't think many people noticed it, I mean most people would think that he was trying. to gain your trust and be your friend. Personally I realized it was because you finally realized there was more to your rivalry than just Slytherin vs. Gryffindor. I have seen this coming since you told us you were gay and Ron and the other guys started to turn on you for it. I think that it is something natural and should be embraced, not hidden. Personally I think that Gryffindor is not the right house for either of us.

Are you going to get re-sorted this year and let the hat put you where it wanted you first year? I know that I am going to let the hat sort me and hopefully I will go where my knowledge is welcome and not used as jokes like Ron loves to make. Dumbledore had an emergency Order meeting called yesterday which I am sure you know about since Remus, Sirius were there. Yet oddly enough Sirius made an excuse for Snape, what is going on with them? Dumbledore is trying to say that he didn't know that you were the son of Voldemort but Remus and Sirius brought up all kinds of things that most people in the Order didn't know and according to Dumbledore were not suppose to know ever. Is it true that Remus tried to get you out of the Dursley's but Dumbledore wouldn't let him? Oh shit it's getting close to the time Ron comes up here to see me for his fun. Yes we are dating but I can't leave him no matter how much he hurts me because he got me pregnant, and I'm afraid of what my parents would say for not using protection. Dustin I need you to help me get out from under Ron and find a true Magical family to help me raise this baby. He used a potion that I found out had a hair from both you and Draco, along with his own thus making this baby have three fathers. I need to come to you and Draco. Ron has been so abusive the past few days, especially since he found out you were dating Malfoy he seems to be taking it all out on me.

Please help me Draco, Dustin. Dustin you yourself know that I do not think that I am really a muggle-born, I am just too strong with magick. Please tell Draco the truth about my parentage so he can help me and also tell your father. I have to send this out now before Ron sees it. I'm not allowed to send anything to anyone but my parents without him seeing it. Please get me out of here. I wish to side with you and you know that I was thinking of joining once I found out my possible heritage or at least the truth as I see it could be. Get me out so we can talk, if you have to include a port-key in your return letter just let me know when to be ready so I can leave here.

Love,

Hermione

"I am going to kill Ron for hurting her. Draco what she said about her parentage is that we believe that she is a half-blood. We think that her father was a squib but didn't know about it I overheard our father's talking about Hermione not being a muggle-born and wanting to do something about it. Her father was a third cousin to my 'dad' James so in a way we are related and she has always said that if I were to ever change sides she would go with me. She stopped trusting Dumbledore after second year when she saw all of the bruises I had from the Dursley's. She understood why I was always so against going back there and why Hogwarts was my home. Ron still thinks that Hermione is nothing but a know-it-all and has always used that as a way to get her to do what he wanted. You know that Troll in first year, well me, Ron, and Hermione knocked it out. Well more me and Hermione, that is. Ron was just there so he could get some credit is what I think. I think we should both write her letters so that she knows we will help her. I need to get her out of the Burrow and soon. Father knows the truth about Hermione because her name is on my family tree. I want to write this and get a port-key set up soon. You can add onto my letter or we will both sign it."

"Whoa, Dustin calm down. We will get Hermione out ok. You start the letter and I will go get something turned into a portkey for her to come where she can just activate it and come here. I will just sign the letter after you get done with it." Draco said as he walked out of the room to get his Father and the Dark Lord.

Dear Hermione,

Draco just left the room to get a port-key ready for you. All you will have to do is say 'activate' after you have all of your stuff ready and with you and you will come here where you will be safe. Yes I have switched sides, Remus is engaged to Lucius, and Siri and Sev are finally married officially since Siri is cleared. Father has known for a few weeks that you are family to me since he had Lucius get a family tree made for me once he found out the truth about Mum. Remember third year when the dementors where around what I would see. Well Father was pleading with Mum to step aside and live with him and have a true family with him thinking that I was the child of the prophecy. Well it turns out that if he hadn't have gone to Mum and James' that night the prophecy never would have been any good. That was the last night to set the prophecy in motion.

Dumbledore made the prophecy up and set Siri up knowing that he had convinced James to switch to Peter. As far as he knew Peter wasn't a Death Eater but he and Remus were and neither one wanted to cross Tom. The only ones that can call him Tom are Remy, Siri, Sev, Lucius and possibly you. So you know, Remy will be called Dad by Draco and has been for many years. Lucius is the one that kept Remus from doing anything stupid when Siri was locked up, that was the reason why he made sure he didn't go to prison himself. That and because Narcissa wouldn't be able to raise a kid at all. Draco was raised by Remus and Lucius. Sev and Siri are my godparents, and Lucius and Remus are basically my in-laws even if Draco and I aren't bonded yet. Pansy will soon be getting a letter that will cause her to freak. Her and Draco were suppose to marry but Lucius had the contract voided since Draco and I plan to bond after we are inducted into the Death Eaters this Friday, and then we will get married after this school year or once Dumbledore is out of the way.

Here is Draco with the rope that will be the port-key, we will be awaiting your arrival and if you come while we are training don't worry we've been doing this all week. Just tap the rope with your wand and say 'activate' once you have everything ready and come here. You will probably show up in the sitting room that we use when we are done with training or taking a break. Can't wait to see you.

Love,

Dustin and Draco

"Well, that's done and sent. She will be here either later tonight or some time tomorrow, but knowing her it will be tonight. So does your Father have the contract with Pansy cancelled now?"

"Yes he does and we will be bonded this weekend which means that legally Dumbles can't do a damn thing if he sees us kissing or anything to stop us from sharing my rooms. Being a Malfoy has definitely come in handy right about now. Oh and Father has alerted the other Governors of the school of your name change and that you will be re-sorted first along with Hermione. And Hermione's kid will definitely have a huge magical family to raise it. I told Father and Tom and they went crazy, both were saying shit like if they had known Ron would be in the hospital for doing that to her. And the abuse will be taken care of and if she wants we can go to court about it."

"Okay well lets go get our potions started so hopefully Hermione won't pop in when we are working on the hardest part. Starting them with the entire family around us and making sure she is okay. Hell Remus and Sirius have always treated her like part of the family and my sister. Which could happen possibly. Shit were gonna be late and Sev's gonna be pissed. Lets go." Dustin said as him and Draco ran down to the potions lab.
