1888…

Septimus Malfoy was sitting in his club, reading the Daily Prophet and sipping a goblin made brandy. He was enjoying his own company when his red-haired friend took a seat next to him. "Hello, Weasley," He said without looking up from his paper.

"Malfoy," Gaines Weasley poured himself brandy.

They sat in silence, each in their own thoughts when a noise came from the front of the club. They heard yelling and running. A woman, who weren't allowed in the club came in. She stopped right in front of them and pointed at them and said:

The child of burned Malfoy

A child of gilded Weasley

Once enemies will be betrothed

To heal scars of the past

She dropped to the ground after she done. They dragged her out of the room. Septimus and Gaines traded a look. The witch just told them a prophecy about their families. A smile spread on Septimus' face, an idea came to mind.

"Weasley, to make sure this prophecy comes true, I think we will need it in writing," Gaines turned to his friend after seeing the woman gone.

"What are you thinking?" He asked. Septimus Malfoy told him his idea. Either one realized how long it was going to take the prophecy to come true.

125 Years Later…

Draco walked into the Ministry, looking for one person. His lawyers had just sent him some old documents to go over. One of the documents was a marriage contract from the 1888. He read the contact and knew it was about his son and the offspring of a Weasley. The contract was based off a prophecy made at that time.

Draco walked into the Auror Department, looking for a redhead man. Before he could get any farther, he was stopped at the desk by a young auror. "Sir, may I ask what you are doing here?"

"I'm looking for Ronald Weasley," Draco said through his clenched his teeth.

The young auror nodded. He sent off a memo behind him. Draco stood there waiting for a response. The response came in the form of the man himself. Ronald Weasley stood there looking at Draco and wondered why he was here to see him.

"I was wondering if we might have a moment to talk about something important," Draco glanced at the young auror, who was looking at both of them, wondering why Draco Malfoy, a wealthy businessman, would want to talk to Ronald Weasley, Head of Strategical Division.

Ron nodded and led Draco into the department. They went pass cubicles to the offices. Ron opened the door to his office. He moved out of the way to let Draco in. "Please take a seat," Ron pointed a chair in front of his desk. Ron closed the door before taking a seat behind his desk. "What can I do for you, Malfoy?"

Draco took a breath before pulling out the folder from his bag and placing it on the desk. "Well, our children are going to get married."

"Like hell they are," Ron growled.

Draco smiled. "You might want to read this," Draco pushed the folder to Ron. Ron gave Draco a look before opening the folder and reading the contents.

"Fuck," Was the first word out of Ron's mouth. He ran a hand through his hair. Draco nodded. "Is there any way out of this?"

Draco shook his head. "I already tired before coming to you. The only way out is if the signers break it. Since both are dead, there is no way out."

"Fuck," Ron said again. "What are we going to do?"

"Well according to the contract they have to be married in your daughter's eighteenth year and they have to have a child in their first year of marriage." Ron nodded. "I would talk to your wife and then we can talk about what to do with the children." Ron nodded again.

"Can I have a copy of this?" Ron pointed to the contract. Draco nodded and made a copy.

"Your family should have a copy of this too," Draco placed his copy in the folder and put the folder in his bag. "Talk to your wife, then we will talk some more," Ron nodded. Draco left soon after that.

Ron put the contract away, but it kept coming back to him. He knew that he wasn't going to get any work done, so he went to Harry's office. "I'm leaving for the day," Harry gave Ron a questionable look. "I have to see to something personal," Harry could tell that Ron didn't want to get into right now, so nodded and watched his friend leave.

Ron made his way to the bank, where they kept old documents. He went and found his brother, Bill. Bill was in his office. Bill was surprise to see his brother standing in his doorway, but he smiled anyways.

"What can I do for you Ron?" Bill asked.

"I need help finding an old family contract from 1888?" Ron said.

"May I ask why you need an old contract from 1888?" Bill stood up from his desk and headed out of his office.

"Personal reasons," Ron said as they got in the cart to headed towards the vaults. Bill nodded.

They made it to the Weasley family vault. Once the door was open Ron ran into the room and started to search for the contract. Bill asked if he could help find it, but Ron told him no. Ron did not want everyone else to know until he talked to Hermione first. Ron soon found documents from 1880's, searched until he found the one, he was looking for. He rolled it up and put in canister.

"Found it," He said to his brother. Bill nodded and followed Ron out of the vault.

Ron made his way home. He knew that Hermione would be home, because the kids had the day off from school. He heard screaming and yelling from the backyard. He made his way there. He saw his children and his niece and nephews playing in the yard. He stood there watching Rose for second. She was ready to tackle her cousin, James. She looked like she had no care in the world besides getting her cousin.

"Ron," It was his sister, Ginny who saw him first. "What are you doing home so early?" She asked.

Hermione turned to see her husband. She was worried the only time that Ron would come home early would be because he had a mission. She saw worried look on his face that changed into a smile as he turned towards them. "Ginny, can you watch the children for a second so I can talk to Hermione privately," Ginny nodded. Hermione was nervous about what was going on. She got up and followed him into the house.

They went to their office. They could hear the children laughing in the background. Hermione stood at the desk waiting for Ron to say something. Ron took a breath. "Draco Malfoy came to see me today."

"Why would Draco come to see you?" Hermione asked.

"Humm…our daughter has to marry his son," Ron mumbled.

Hermione leaned forward towards Ron. "Come again," Hermione didn't hear what he said.

Ron took another breath. "Rose has to marry Draco's son, Scorpius," He in a louder voice.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Hermione snapped.

"Well see there is a contract from 1888 based a prophecy that states our daughter has to marry Draco's son." Ron the canister of his shoulder.

"Let me see," Hermione held out her hand. Ron gave it to her. She took out the contract and read it several times. Ron stood there as she went to the bookcase to get some books. She started flipping through the books. Ron didn't want to tell her that Draco already tried to get out of it. He knew that she would bite off his head. He decided to take a seat instead.

"Damn," Hermione came to the same conclusion that Draco Malfoy came too. She fell in the chair behind the desk. "There is no way out of this," Ron nodded.

"What do we want to do?" Ron asked.

Hermione looked into the same blue eyes that both her children had. She just had to fall in love had with a man from a pure-blood family. The laughter from the backyard came through the window. Her little girl had to marry a boy that was the son of their school enemy. Hermione had to close her eyes before taking a breath. "What are the Malfoys going to do?" Hermione asked.

"I don't know. He told me to talk to you and then we could talk it over with him and his wife," Ron could see the tension in Hermione's shoulders.

Hermione turned her chair and looked out of the window. "I want her to have a normal childhood."

"I know," Ron was all sudden standing next to her and he wrapped an arm around her.

"I hate your family right now."

"I do, too."

Hermione turned towards him. "Write to Draco and set up a meeting," Ron nodded. He leaned down and gave her kiss.

"I love you," He whispered in her hair.

Ron wrote to Draco and they decide on meeting at the Leaky Cauldron. They got a private room for this. They order tea for the table. Once they had a cup, they started to talk.

"I want Rose to have a normal childhood," Hermione said.

Astoria nodded. "I want the same for Scorpius."

"I think that we should tell them before their seventh year, since they will be in the same year. They can decide on what to do with the information. They can either ignore it or do something with it as long as they show up for the wedding." Draco said.

The others agreed with him. They will be of age at that time and they can hope that they can be adults about this. Draco and Ron talked about meeting with their lawyers about finalizing the contract. They left that night knowing their children lives were in the hands of two dead men.
