The last week of the third year was uneventful. All the students were busy preparing for the exams. But Draco was preparing to tie up some loose ends as well.
Without the Marauders map, Harry will never see Pettigrew and Sirius. So they won't follow after them. So he had to make Pettigrew reveal himself to Remus Lupin using the Imperius Curse.
Remus bound Peter and took him to the whomping willow. Sirius was also present there. Draco watched all of this through the map. He cancelled the curse on Peter after they entered the willow. He didn't know what they talked but after some time they moved towards Hogwarts but on the way somehow Peter escaped and the other two ran back inside Hogwarts because of the dementors.
They walked straight to Dumbledore's office and they seem to stay there for a while. Draco guessed Peter has gone looking for Voldemort and eventually he grew bored of watching the map so he folded it in his trunk safely.
Slytherin continued the unbeatable streak in quidditch as we totally dominated Gryffindor in our last match. Potter caught the snitch but we won the match taking the quidditch cup.
The rest of the days were spent attending the end of year exams. Blaise and Tracy were fussing around about the exams and being a constant pain for me. As they studied more Draco got to spend more time with Daphne. He was training her up to be a good obedient mistress during that time. He kissed the living daylights out of her occasionally. He couldn't wait for her to grow a little more. Her sister Astoria has been enrolled in Bauxbatons.
So it was a very bored Draco that returned to Malfoy manor. But that soon changed when he saw Narcissa.
She was wearing a white towel around her body and nothing else. She seems to have just taken a shower and now looking for a dress in her wardrobe. He silently vanished his clothes and walked behind her. He caught her from behind making her jump in fright. He spun her around and kissed her. She was startled but soon melted into the kiss. After some nipping and biting, he withdrew from her.
"My lord when did you come?" Narcissa asked
"Just now. Are you going somewhere?" he asked
"Yes my lord, I was about to visit the mall." She answered dutifully
"You will not be going anywhere for some time." he said authoritatively as he massaged her ass.
"My lord?" she said
He threw her on the bed and climbed in after her and used her the whole night.
As we lay on the bed after tiring ourselves out he began to lightly engage her in small talk.
"How is the mall doing." he asked as he ran circles on her back with his fingers making Narcissa shiver
"Very good. I added a new jewlery shop as well in it." Narcissa said
"Hmm, that is alright. Any problem?" he asked
"There is some grumblings about how there are only muggleborns and halfblood staff there." She said
"Anything you can't handle." he asked
"No, they are just fools. We employ Purebloods as well." she said with a snort
"I will have to add more wards on the mall. With the tri-wizard tournament coming, extra security is always good." he said and they drifted off to sleep.
The next day he spent much of his time in the mall. He was installing some video recording devices, not the muggle ones but magical ones. If Mad eye moody can have a magical eye then Draco can create an eye that can store visuals as well. He used the principles behind the pensive to create such a system. It was a security system he created just in case.
The rest of the summer was spend decorating the mall. He added a pyramid in the middle of the mall. Not a normal pyramid either. It has a complex set of pathways inside which will lead you to a treasure. It was a hit with many children and adults.
Draco celebrated his fourteenth birthday that summer. A small party was arranged only comprising of his immediate friends, slytherin quidditch team and some of Narcissa's friends.
Since Draco reached fourteen he was now able to participate in under sixteen world dueling championship. It was conducted by the support of ICW and this year it was in Germany. Draco registered in the contest and left for Berlin with Narcissa after two days from his birthday.
Draco had thought there would be some British contesters there but there was none. No wonder the International community are seeing us as a joke, he thought.
After the war with Grindelwald the rest of Europe reformed, became more vigilant and alert. But Britain became more isolationist, trusting in the power of Dumbledore to be the answer to all their problems. British ministry had done a very good job of pissing off other nations. Many were surprised there was a British contestant in the contest at all.
There was a two stage qualifiers. Only fourteen from the present strength would be selected for the main event.
The first day was stage 1 of the qualifiers. Draco had to show the potency of his magic by channelling it to a glowing ball. If he had the required amount he will be able to pass to the next round. Obviously he passed that criteria.Those who couldn't light the glass ball got disqualified.
The next day duelling contest began. Only top fourteen will be qualified for the main dueling event which was a highly sought out event in Europe.
Draco's first opponent was a German witch named Stephanie. She immediately started attacking him after the duel started. She casted a stunning spell which he side stepped. She again casted a 'stupify'. This time Draco caught the spell on his wand and reflected it back on her. She fell to the floor unconscious.Thus he won his first match.
Draco's next match was with an American, Alvin Harper. This time he casted a 'stupify' at him. He dodged Draco's curse and attacked him with an 'expelliarmus'. He blocked it and cast an 'incendio' at him. He cast 'protego' and a shield surrounded him protecting him from the jet of flame Draco produced. Draco cancelled his spell and cast 'levicorpus charm' which hung Alvin upside down and then Draco cast 'expelliarmus' which disarmed him. The proctor declared Draco the victor. After casting the counter curse Draco returned Alvin's wand and went back to his post.
Draco won three more victories and eventually, he was selected for the final round. Now tomorrow four contestants will duel and a final champion will be born.
