XII. Jasmine

Attracts wealth.

Draco Malfoy was very young when he made up his mind that Daphne Greengrass was the most beautiful girl in the entire world. It was appropriate, he thought, that she had been named after a nymph. She had long, blonde hair and bright green eyes, which meant she was truly beautiful, the perfect material for a wife (not like the simpering Pansy Parkinson, who was dark and pug-like and just wouldn't do. He needed a nymph, not a dog).

Unfortunately for Draco, Daphne was as cold and chaste as the nymph after whom she had been named. She avoided his advances with just as much grace as she avoided the flirtations of other, lesser men. It was most offensive.

Draco could not stand to be ignored, so he turned his attentions aside and found something even better. Where Daphne was a nymph, Asteria was a titan – even more beautiful and formidable and powerful than her older sister, with hair that shone like moonlight and sparkling stars for eyes. Where Daphne would have been only a wife to him, Asteria was a suitable queen.

He was a pureblood man; a beautiful, powerful wife was his birthright, and if one sister spurned him then the other would be his. He would make sure of it.
