The sun had just risen and was now shining brightly and reflecting over the silver-blue pond. Draco had just awaken and had walked over to the window and looked out onto the property. He heard a noise coming from his extremely large bed, he looked over and saw that Panda, his steady girlfriend of 6 years had woken up and was watching him.
They had met when she moved from Alexandria, Egypt, to Hogsmeade. Panda Pinke was a short and beautiful girl. She had pink hair and almond shaped eyes that were an icy blue. Every time Draco looked in them his heart froze. He went over to her and kissed her lips in the gentle way she loved him to.
It was almost 10 years since he had been in this house. His family's mansion, the Malfoy Mansion. It had finally been ridded of its 17 hexes guarding it and all the Dark Magic tools it once housed. They were on their summer holiday. They both taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Panda taught Defence against the Dark Arts and Draco was a teacher of Muggle Studies.
"Panda, why do you do this to me?" he asked looking at her eyes and feeling as though he was swimming in them for they were so deep and mysterious.
"What am I doing, Draco?" she questioned.
"You always do this to me. You know I'm leaving tonight and every time I tell you I'm leaving you drag me into bed or pull some romantic stunt that leaves me thinking of you the entire time I'm away and I can't focus on anything else." He said with an irrated hint to his voice.
"Draco hun, I only mean it as a sort of, good luck charm, so you travel safe. But if you don't want to be with me anymore,"
"No! I didn't mean that, I just don't like leaving without you." He said sulkily.
"Then let me come with you!" Panda said sitting up.
"I dunno, I" Draco said, but Panda interrupted.
"Okay I can always clean the house again, I can stay home again, I can invite all my muggle friends over and we can have a party and I can explain that we met at a wizarding convention."
"Okay you can come honey, I didn't mean I didn't want you to stay home I just wanted to talk to Harry and Ron about something, and I don't know if Hermione is gonna be upset because I think she still likes me." Draco felt odd saying this in front of his future wife. He hadn't proposed yet because he planned on getting a ring at Hogsmeade tonight and asking tomorrow. That's why he didn't want Panda coming. "Baby, you can come, but you need to spend some time with the girls okay? Because it's Harry's birthday and the guys are gonna take him out somewhere special."
"Okay, I promise. Anyway Hermione is torn between Harry and Ron, Harry wants Ginny, but Ginny's been obsessing over Viktor Krum since he caught her from falling out of the stadium at a Quidditch game. But Hermione and Ginny are fooling around with Harry because they get bored. And Ron is in love with Moona Luna, a girl he met while working in Liverpool. "
"Wow that's confusing. How do you know?" asked Draco.
"I've been sending owls to Harry." She lied.
"You're not cheating on me are you Panda?"
"Maybe, maybe not." She said with a smile and a laugh.
By 5 o'clock they were all set, they had taken a few breaks when they found themselves together in one of the many walk in closets together. They used floo-powder to get to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's house. Since Harry and Hermione split up they had been sharing a house in Hogsmeade. Across town Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, Hermione Granger, and Moona Luna were sharing a house of their own.
They arrived at Harry's house a few minutes later. Harry was sitting at the table looking more like his father than ever before. They popped out of the fireplace just as Ron walked by and he gave a little yelp since he was unaware that they had already come.
"Hey Draco. Long time no see, eh." Ron said happily.
"Where's my little bro." Draco said with a smirk.
Since Harry and Draco were about 16 they had been stepbrothers. Narcissa, Draco's mother, had Lucius her husband put in Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, and Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, had adopted Harry after his name had been cleared with the Ministry of Magic. Narcissa and Sirius were old time sweethearts and once Narcissa had broke Lucius' spell on her, she and Sirius had got married.
"Hey Draco, is that you I hear? Did you bring my girlfriend with ya?" "What? I brought MY Panda but she's not yours." Draco whined. Harry walked in without his glasses and was looking quite handsome compared to his old self. While Draco and Harry were catching up on the past few years, Panda heard a few familiar voices, "- I know I can't wait." "It's been too long." Said two girls as they walked in the door of the large 5-bedroom house.
One had purple hair and purple eyes (she had bewitched them to be that way); the other had long, soft, brown hair with red highlights and soft eyes. There was a third girl. She stood out more than even Moona Luna and her purple hair. Her hair was as red, if not more red than her brother's was. Her brother was Ron and she was Ginny. Although she loved Viktor, her childhood crush on Harry had never faded, not even for a day had her love wavered.
Panda knew the first two girls almost as well as she knew herself. Moona Luna and Hermione Granger. Two of her best friends. They hadn't seen each other in almost 6 years. About a few months before Panda had met Draco.
my God, Panda is that you?" Hermione asked.
"No it's her evil twin and I'm going to send the mummy's curse on you." Panda giggled. This was an old joke between the two from their days of being roommates in Alexandria, Egypt.
"Moona!" exclaimed Panda; "I haven't seen you forever. I can't believe that you know Hermione."
Ginny looked somewhat uncomfortable because she hadn't been introduced. "Oh I'm sorry." Moona said, "Panda, this is Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister."
"Hi", said Ginny in a tiny voice.
"Hey wassup?" Replied Panda. The girls decided they were going to get changed then go shopping around town. It had been ages since Panda was in Hogsmeade.
While the girls were gone, Ron, Draco, and Harry went to The Broomsticks for a few butterbeers and some chips. Draco, as usual, had to bring up what was wrong with Harry. "How do you manage to keep your hair so incredibly messy even after all these years? I got all my hair care products with me. I let you try some if you want." Draco laughed at himself because no one else thought he was funny.
"Haha Draco. You're still so immature." Sneered Harry. Ron couldn't help but laugh, "You two still fight like your married. It's really funny!" Harry suddenly remembered something.
"Hey Draco, did you ever that that ring for Panda?" Draco felt really bad now; he looked at his watch and saw that Madame Medea's Jewellery Emporium had closed ten minutes ago.
"Damn it!! It's closed, now I have to wait for next year to propose."
Ron was curious as to why he had to wait another year to propose. Draco explained that it was a family tradition to propose on your anniversary for both good luck at the wedding and for a long marriage. His parents were the only couple in his family in hundreds of years who didn't stay together before one spouse died. The really odd thing was that the wife always died or disappeared before the husband, but he thought it was because anyone who had married his ancestors would had to have put up with a lot.
Harry had an idea; he was always full of them. They often got them in trouble but everything turned out fine in the end.
"Draco, how `bout this. Give Panda your mom's engagement ring and then get her another one after you propose. I don't think she'll mind cuz it's a family heirloom so it will be special." Draco really liked this idea and he was going to do just that.
That night Panda and Draco made love like they never had before and it would be a long time until it was as amazing as that night.
When Panda woke up the next morning, she noticed Draco was holding something in his hand. She thought it might have been a condom from the night before (Draco often broke them).
When she looked at his hand closer she could tell that it was in fact a ring. The most beautiful ring she had ever seen. It was white gold (her favourite) with one diamond and two sapphires on either side. She took his hand and has she did he woke up. He rose to his feet, her hand still in his. They were both barely clothed, he was in his favourite boxers that had silver and black dragons that breathed fake fire when he got excited. She had on her pink silk bikini underwear that said "for Draco only" in diamonds that changed to amethysts when Draco came near, and her matching pink silk bra. Has he looked at her, pink seemed to be exploding from her and he fell in love with her all over again.
If he was a Muggle, he would have proposed on one knee, but the wizard way was much more exciting. He grabbed his wand and lifted Panda above his head and then went up to meet her. Has he slipped the ring on her finger a shower of black and blood red roses fell over them as they swirled and kissed. This happened as a result of his Enchanter powers. One hour later, Draco and Panda climbed down stairs looking very ruffled.
"What the hell happened to you guys?" Harry asked, hoping to get some insight on the nightly activities of a soon to be married couple. But as he looked at Panda he noticed she was going to faint. Draco was carrying her down the stairs and into the living room. He yelled at Ron to get her a cup of strong green mint tea (her favourite). By the time he came back, Hermione, Moona, and Ginny were there too.
Draco looked horrible. His hair was for once actually messier than Harry's was! He looked at Panda who was now at lest able to sit up and then told them all what happened.
"I proposed to her, I put the ring on, made her float and all that, then I did an Enchanter thing and,"
Hermione had to interrupt "What type of Enchanter thing? Do Enchanters have sex differently?"
Draco looked disgusted and Ginny giggled. She tried to imagine Draco and Panda having sex in mid air. It was quite amusing. "No." Draco said firmly, "It was the way I proposed, Enchanters do it a little differently." There was a little pause then he continued, " After I gave her the ring a yellow light began glowing from somewhere and we looked around and out of nowhere a porthole opened up and began to suck her into it. I tried to pull her back, then I used a spell and I kept her from leaving. After that I brought her down stairs and here we are."
The silence was broken when Hermione said, "What did you do last night? I mean you're an Enchanter, she's an Enchantress and you're both part Veela. That might have something to do with it. Maybe when, you know umm..." Draco was insulted,
"Shut-up Hermione, you just want to hear how much further me and Panda got than you and me!" Then he realised everyone was still there.
"Look Draco, why don't you go take a shower then we can all talk about this." Said Harry.
"I'm not leaving Panda alone and I won't leave her with you Harry." He knew that is what Harry wanted. Harry had always wanted whatever girl Draco was with.
"Why not Draco?" Harry asked.
"I guess I can leave my half naked fiancée with my step-brother who is completely infatuated with her while I go take a shower."
"Draco," Hermione said jokingly, " I'll watch her, I certainly wouldn't think of doing anything to her unless..." Draco's eyes lit up and thought a little lesbian sex might not be a bad thing. He had forgotten Harry could read his mind until he blurted out " Eww Draco. You sick bastard." Everyone looked at Harry. "Remember I can read Draco's mind."
Then Ginny said, " Oh forget it. I don't want any sick mental images in my head."
Panda and Hermione went upstairs and talked. "Panda, I know you don't wanna talk about it but can you tell me what happened. How did it feel was it good, bad or nothing extraordinary?"
"Draco has always been a good lover. But last night was amazing!" Panda said dreamily.
"No! I mean the light and what happened."
"Oh that, was Dark Magic, definitely"
Draco walked in at this moment, he often walked in when people were talking about him and he had never grown out of it. " So I'm a good lover then." He walked over to Panda who was still in her bra underwear but with Draco's silver robe over her. He was now in his black Armani Wizarding Wear boxer briefs. He hated them but she loved them.
And apparently so did Hermione, "Nice package Draco." She said smiling. He went bright red. Since he had began going out with Panda it had become easier to read his expressions. Hermione was now serious. "Draco, I think I might be able to figure out what that light was. I was thinking about it and I remember reading about this before. It was in 1930 a witch named Silver Lucia said the same thing happened to her. Her fiancée, Ducius" Hermione stopped short, her skin nearly as pale as Draco's who's had already been paler at the mention of Silver Lucia.
"What's wrong?" Panda asked very concerned.
"Ducius Malfoy" Draco and Hermione said in unison.
Draco explained that Silver Lucia was his grandmother and obviously Ducius was his grandfather. The ring had been in the family for generations, he almost sure it was about 1,000 years old. His father told him that when he was 15 his mother died because a Dark Lord whose name was not even known summoned her to his followers. The ring was taken off and she disappeared."
All three of them now looked like ghosts. So pale and expressionless.
"I think I need to sleep." Said Panda as she laid her head on Draco's lap.
"Yeah you should go to bed. You look exhausted." Hermione said with a very concerned look. Hermione pulled Draco out of the room. "Hey what are you doing?" Draco yelled.
"You'll be back soon. Mind if I steal your love toy for a minute?" she asked Panda.
"Nope. Go ahead, just make sure he comes back, I need a backrub." Panda said as she yawned. She sat down on the bed to wait for Draco.
"Draco, are you sure about Silver and Ducius? I mean that's really weird. The same thing happened to your grandparents that happened today. If only your dad was still alive, then we could ask him about this and be certain." Hermione said looking very concerned for both Draco and Panda. They were some of her best friends. Panda was always there when she needed her and Draco, well Draco just kind of existed in her life without a definite purpose. But it was comforting to know he cared about her.
"I know, I really should ask my mum about it. I'll go send her an owl. After Draco and Hermione sent an owl to Narcissa, they told Ron about the similarities between the cases of Silver and Ducius and Panda and Draco. He was shocked. Then Draco realised that he shouldn't have left Panda alone. She was still shaken up, and he knew she wanted him to be there with her. He excused himself from the conversation and sprinted upstairs to their room he heard something move and so he figured she was in there, but something told him she wasn't. That something was right.

When Panda woke up she realized she was not in her bed. There was a man standing oposite her. He was muttering to himself.
"I will take her to master. He will honor me."
She was now standing and just realised she was still in her little pink underwear she had worn for Draco. He tossed her a blood red robe with black roses on the trim.
"Master? I have no master. The closest thing I have is my fiancée." She said as she put the robe on.
"Exactly. I have the impression that you are clueless as to why you are here." The man asked.
"Yeah I don't know why I'm here. But can I ask what your name is?" Panda asked trying to look interested.
"I suppose it won't hurt to tell you. Since you soon will be under our Master's rule. And when you are no longer willing, you will be dealt with." He said this all as if it were amusing. Panda thought it was more of a threat. "My name is Martius. But you are to call me Lord of Darkness."
They had met when she moved from Alexandria, Egypt, to Hogsmeade. Panda Pinke was a short and beautiful girl. She had pink hair and almond shaped eyes that were an icy blue. Every time Draco looked in them his heart froze. He went over to her and kissed her lips in the gentle way she loved him to.
