Brutus Malfoy tried not to scowl as he watched the Crabbe heiress dancing with his fiance. Malfoys were very possessive beings, especially over their spouses or fiances. So, watching as the Crabbe cow tried to seduce his fiance was getting on Brutus Malfoys' nerves. The part that drove Brutus crazy the most was watching other people touch what was his while he couldn't touch it.

Hadrianus Potter wanted to be court and his godfather Orion Black wanted it to be traditional, which meant Brutus wasn't allowed to touch Hadrianus until their wedding night. Brutus glared at the Crabbe heiress as Hadrianus handed her off to someone else before Nott heir took the Potter heir into his arms.

Turning his silver eyes away from the dance floor, Brutus caught sight of Orion Black glaring at the Nott heir. At least he wasn't the only one pissed at the other purebloods for touching Hadrianus. The Lord of the Malfoy family stood up from his seat and walked through the ballroom over to Orion.

"What do you want, Malfoy?" demanded the Black, still glaring at the Nott heir.

Instead of replying, Brutus held out his untouched firewhiskey and watched as Orion downed it in one gallop, his eyes never leaving his godson and the Nott heir.

With one last look at Hadrianus, Brutus exited the ballroom and found his way to the floo room. While Malfoys were possessive, Brutus knew better than to hang around and get jealous. Hadrianus' reaction the last time was still hunting his nightmares. For such a sweet and caring person Hadrianus had a fiery temper.
