Hey peoples!!! Thanks for trusting me this far into my story. Well, I really like this chapter because it's more of an evil chapter. I love the son 'Like Father, Like Son' that is in this part of the play. We'll learn more about Lucius' sick life and maybe a dash of tragedy. Then bake at three hundred and fifty degrees for one hour. Just Kidding! Thanks, Epequa ;)

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling, Disney, and Verdi are amazing people who have created so much in their lives. *a tear starts to glimmer in the corner of my eye* You guys are just……just…great.

Chapter 13 - Ready

Draco was just getting fed up. Dinner had consisted of the horrible reminder that he was still bound to be married to Pansy tomorrow. He had to take drastic action and that meant talking to Lucius again. He entered his father's quarters for the second time in a week.

"My son," said Lucius, a bit more stiffly than he would have a few days ago. "Have you been conversing with your future wife?"

"She is not my future wife." Draco said firmly.

"Of course she is," said Lucius, heaving a rather forced chuckle.

"No she isn't. I don't love her." Draco replied.

"In this family, no one marries for love; you marry for power." Lucius said coldly. Anyone in the room could tell the eminent enmity between them was finally out in the open. It seemed as though Draco had been waiting to do this since the day of his birth.

"That's how you marry, not me." Draco said hotly.

"Oh, do you love someone else?" Lucius asked, half jokingly, half haughtily.

"Yes," Draco answered.

"Who then?" His father asked teasingly.

Draco knew that if he told Lucius who he really loved, it would hurt him more than anything would. "Hermione Granger," he said.

"What!?!" Lucius gasped. "Out of all the people in the world you have to like her! The mudblood?!?"

"Yes, that is correct." Draco said bravely.

"Do you know what will happen to you if Voldemort finds out? You'll be killed for high treason to the Dark Lord." Lucius sputtered. "And you'll be throwing your life out of the window."

"That's what I want to do. I can't stand this perfect life you've built for me." Draco said.

"Now really, Draco you must reconsider," Lucius tried to comfort him.

"I don't need to reconsider. It's my life and I've made my mind up on what I'm going to do. I've appreciated what you do for me way too much." Draco spat, and he rushed out of the door.

"That boy needs to get a grip on life. Just like me he's found that flesh that can excite but will eventually get him caught up to his head." He thought for a moment. "Guards!" a bunch of his officers surrounded him. "Find the girl they call Hermione and sentence her to death at dawn. She should be in the encampment. Go now!!!" The guards rushed away. "If he doesn't want to comply with his future, then I'll force him to." And Lucius rushed off to speak with Voldemort.

With one running away from his future and the other sought out to die, who knows what will happen eventually.

A/N: Well that was a really fun chapter to do. I hope to have the next chapter out tomorrow. Well, love and free homework passes to my reviewers. Please review and I wish everyone a very happy November 26th! Wait I have some extras for my reviewers: Let's see you guys get Christmas ornaments without hooks, little plastic scopey thingys that my science teacher has, and all the love that goes out. Thanks, I was feeling pretty generous today. Epequa ;)
