A/N: Thank you for the review! You asked if they will get together, well, you'll just have to find out by reading and reviewing. I will tell you this: there is a surprise ending. What will it be? Review and you'll see!
"We're just going to get to the point." Annie said.

"Your fathers have decided who you're going to marry." Mother said.

"Who?" Eponine and I asked.

"Eponine, you have been arranged to marry Blaise Zambini." Annie said.

"And Cosette, your father wants you to marry Draco Malfoy." Mom said.

Eponine and I looked at each other with "our look." It was a look that we gave each other when we knew what the other one was thinking. At this moment we were thinking something along the lines of, 'We lucked out.'

"When is the marriage?" I asked.

"We think it's supposed to be around this time next summer." Mother said.

"So it's planned after Operation America will be in effect?"

"Yes. So please don't be angry with your fathers. You won't have to marry Blaise and Draco as long as the wedding is planned next summer."

"And Hogwarts won't allow you to get married while you're going there anyway." Annie said.

"Hogwarts?" We asked.

"Um yes, Hogwarts. You're fathers decided to have you attend there so you could be near Draco and Blaise." Mother said.

"We can't go to Hogwarts! What about Beauxbatons?" Eponine asked.

"One of us was probably going to be Head Girl this year!" I said.

"All of your school records will be sent to Hogwarts so you might have a chance of being Head Girl." Mother said.

"We'll leave you two to talk." Annie said.

Not sooner had they closed the door, but Eponine and I turned to each other and said the same thing.

"Let's dance."

The next morning we slept in late and went down to breakfast. Apparently we weren't the only ones who slept in late. Pansy and Mary were down there as well, and they looked rather very tired or very angry. We weren't sure if they knew about the marriage arrangements so we didn't say anything about them.

"Good morning!" Eponine and I said.

"Do you know who you're marrying yet?" Mary asked.

"Why do you ask?" I asked.

"Because we have to marry Josh and James!" Pansy whined.

"You'd think father could arrange for us to marry our boyfriends!" Marry wined.

"But no!"

"Our boyfriends are supposed to marry other girls!"

"I just hope it isn't Julie and Sarah."

"Me too."

"They aren't marrying Julie and Sarah." Eponine said.

"They're marrying us." I said.

"Please don't be mad at us!"

"We didn't ask to marry them."

"We don't even want to marry them."

"We aren't mad at you." Pansy said.

"We know that it's beyond any of our control."

Eponine and I were so relieved that Pansy and Mary weren't mad at us. The four of us had formed a fast friendship, and I didn't want it to be ruined over these stupid marriage arrangements. Even though they were forgiving, they still looked very angry, and did I detect a hint of jealousy?

"Aww cheer up. It could be worse. You could have to marry Crabbe and Goyle." I said.

"Good point." They said.

We all laughed, because we knew that this meant that Julie and Sarah would have to marry Crabbe and Goyle. After breakfast we got dressed quickly then us four girls took a walk in the garden. We were laughing and giggling when we ran into the boys. We stopped laughing and we all just stood there like ten idiots.

All of our fiancé's asked us if we could have a talk. We all just split up leaving a stupid Crabbe and Goyle. I walked with Draco and we were both looking for words. I was so mad at his father and mine. I didn't want to be engaged to someone. I didn't want to leave Beauxbatons my last year. I didn't want to have to run away from my "life."

"So did your father tell you about our engagement?" Draco asked.

"I have a father? I wasn't aware." I said curtly.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Actually my mother told me."

"Then did she tell you when the wedding is to take place?"

"She wasn't sure. Her husband didn't tell her."

"It's going to be held the 28th of June next year."

"What?! That's my birthday! Oh hell no! The day I get married on my birthday is the day I start acting like my father!"

"Well that was the arranged day. We don't have any control over it. Maybe your father-"

"I don't have a father!"

"Ok, maybe Mr. Miller is considering it your 18th birthday present."

"You're probably right. I've always figured that he would try to marry me off as soon as I turn 18. I just never thought it would be the day I turn 18. When is your birthday?"

"June 15th."

"So you're already seventeen?"

"Yes."

"Well at least you're older then I am."

"So you're still sixteen?"

"I'm almost seventeen!"

"Then why don't you act like it?"

"Oh shut up! I don't expect you to understand!"

"What's not to understand? A stubborn little girl who doesn't want to obey Daddy's wishes, but she will in the end if she knows what's good for her."

"I know what's good for me, and this isn't it!"

"Then what is?"

"I'm not telling you!"

"Why not? We are getting married after all. You might as well accept it and get used to it."

"That's what you think!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you're so smart you figure it out!"

"Oh I don't have time to play games with a childish 16 year old!"

"I'll be seventeen soon! And I'm not childish!"

"Then act like it!"

His glare was penetrating. When he said those final words he took a few steps so that he was towering over me. What was he trying to scare me or something? Well he wasn't doing a very good job. I just glared back and held back the urge to hit him.

I didn't mind him up until now. Now he was just irritating. All he cared about was himself and pleasing his father. Lucius reminded me a lot of my father. No wonder they were such good friends. Draco acted as if he wanted to be just like his father, but when we stood there glaring at each other I could tell that he just wanted to be himself. I don't know how I knew. I just did.

Of course I doubt he even knew who he really was. His father seemed to control every aspect of Draco, and the fact that he let him stunned me. Draco seemed a little rebellious to me. Sort of like myself if you will. The difference between him and I was he knew when to shut up and deal with things, whereas I fought to the end. This was going to be an interesting summer and year.
A/N: Ok, so this chapter wasn't all that great, but I guarantee that the plot will thicken! Please review!
