A week later.
"Hey Draco, It's Charisma. I haven't heard from you in ages! Has this whole arranged marriage thing changed us? Anyway, I'd really like you to come over for dinner tonight. If you do it's at 7:00. Please come, who knows what we can do later. Love Charisma!" Charisma rolled up the parchment and tied it to Belle's foot. Belle flew out of the window.
"Hey Belle" smiled Draco taking the parchment off Belle's foot. Belle sat there as if she wanted something. "Oh all right then," Draco walked over to his a mini fridge that sat next to his pet snake. He pulled out a white mouse and threw it out the window, Belle followed.
Draco paced up and down his bedroom, not knowing if he should go. After what Charisma's mum, Rose, did he didn't know if he could look any of them in the eyes. The clock from downstairs rang once, letting him know that it was 6:30. He went into his bathroom and washed his face. "Stop being a pussy!"
"I'll get it," called Charisma as she ran down the stairs. As she opened the door, Draco's face beamed. "Hey, these are for you" Draco handed Charisma a bunch of roses. "Thanks," she smiled and smelt their fragrance. Suddenly they started singing; "You are so beautiful to me." "Oh my gosh, they are so sweet" Charisma pulled Draco into a passionate kiss which could've lasted forever. "Now, now. Not near the parents," Draco pulled away from the kiss. "Oh all right, come in" Charisma opened the door wider. "Oh Draco, so glad you could make it!" Mr. Cruise entered from another room. "Good evening Mr. Cruise," said Draco. "Please Draco, call me Tony," Tony smiled with a twinkle in his eyes. 'That's where Charisma gets it then,' thought Draco. "Well come sit down," finished Tony and they all walked into the Lounge room. "Afternoon Mr. Cruise, Miss Cruise and guest" said a voice as they walked into the Lounge room. "Now, now Christina this is not a just a guest. It is Charisma's fiancée Draco Malfoy!" informed Tony as he sat down. "Oh, Welcome Mr. Malfoy," said Christina. "Talking charm?" asked Draco staring around the room. "Something like that," mumbled Charisma and they sat on the couch. "Dinner's ready," a house-elf walked into the room and bowed it's head. "Thank-you Hang," smiled Tony and Hang beamed with pleasure.
As Draco, Charisma and Mr. Cruise walked into the dining room the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Mrs. Cruise, Rose, could be heard upstairs and went to answer the door. "Oh my! It is so wonderful to see you!" Charisma blushed as she heard her mum making such a fuss. Mrs. Cruise walked into the dining room, followed by a handsome, young man. As he walked over to Mr. Cruise he was greeted by a loving, firm handshake. As he walked over to Charisma he got a loving hug and a kiss. He walked over to Draco. "Lee, this is my fiancée Draco," Charisma smiled as Lee offered his hand in friendship, "Draco, this is my brother Lee." At the word of brother, Draco immediately shook Lee's hand. "It's great to meet the guy, who my little sister loves," Lee smiled. "It's a great to meet you too," Draco smiled.
All through dinner was laughter and talk. "I'd just like to raise a toast, to my future son-in-law," Mr. Cruise raised his glass. Everyone else followed. "It's great to see my daughter so happy and with a trustworthy man!" "Cheers!" Everyone toasted and smiled; Charisma held Draco's hand. "Who ever said I was trustworthy?" joked Draco. "We've had our tests!" smiled Mr. Cruise. "Daddy you didn't!" exclaimed Charisma. "What?" Draco looked around the table. "That attractive girl at the bar, Desirè, she was a friend of the family," Mr. Cruise drank from his goblet. Draco heated up; "It was a trick?" "A test. To see if you were the one for my little girl!" assured Tony. "Oh!" Draco laughed, "So I guess Mrs. Cruise trying to lure me into bed was another one of your little tests." Charisma and Mr. Cruise stood up shocked. "Mum, How could you?" Charisma screamed. Mrs. Cruise went red in the face, while Draco stood up next to Charisma, holding her hand. "You're fucking unbelievable! You're always trying to sleep with my boyfriends!" "Charisma." started Mrs. Cruise. "No, Rose. Let her speak" interrupted Mr. Cruise. "You'll never be happy as long as I am, will you? You just want me to end up like you. Upset and alone. But I'm never going to be like you mum. You're a selfish bitch and a whore!" Charisma was still fighting strong, when she turned to her dad and said in a soft voice, "I'm not staying here tonight dad." Her dad nodded, as if to say that he understood. "I'm really sorry about this Lee. I really wanted to spend some time with you." Her brother nodded in agreement. Charisma looked at Draco; "Can we please go?" Draco nodded and said bye to Mr. Cruise and Lee.
As she got onto the broomstick Draco asked, "Where are we going?" "I don't care," Charisma hugged Draco and he took off towards a studio he owned on the beach.
As Charisma cried on Draco as they sat on the couch she asked, "Did you sleep with her?" Draco chuckled, "No. I can't believe you even asked." Charisma looked up at him and kissed him passionately. That night they 'made love' on the couch.
**First week back at Hogwarts** "OH MY FUCKING GOD! HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS?" Jasmine, the gossip queen, ran into the Gryffindor common room smiling. Everyone turned and looked at Jasmine who was standing in front of Danielle. Jasmine shot an evil look at Harry, "I don't know if a certain someone should hear this." Harry gave her an evil glance back, "Just because I'm not with Charisma, doesn't mean I can't know things." "You cheated on her!" shouted a tall, slim girl called Jackie. Everyone averted his or her eyes to watch the fight. "Jasmine, just tell us the Goddamn news!" yelled Claire, a blonde athletic girl. See, Jasmine, Claire, Danielle and Jackie were the 'Gryffindor Gossipers.' "Okay," Jasmine took a deep breath and everyone stared at her. "Charisma and Draco are engaged!" she clapped her hands together, "how cool is that?" Suddenly there was a huge gush of whispers around the Gryffindor common and Ron ran out to find Charisma. Harry's mouth dropped, "Surely, it's only a rumor." "Nope, she's got the ring to prove it!" smiled a now excited Jasmine. "What's it look like?" interrupted Danielle. "Oh, well Charisma's is a Gold Snake, with rubies as eyes, and emeralds through the body." Jasmine pretended to draw it on her finger. "And Draco's?" asked Claire eagerly. "Oh well his is a bit more masculine. It just doesn't have the emeralds through it." Claire, Danielle and Jackie 'Ooooed.' "Oh AND..." continued Jasmine, "when they're near each other, the rubies glow!" Claire, Danielle and Jackie gave an "Aaah!"
"Charisma, Charisma!" Charisma turned around to find Ron calling her. "Oh Ron! How are you? Did you enjoy your holidays?" Charisma hugged him. "Yeah good thanks and yours?" asked Ron, returning the hug. "Yeah, good I suppose!" Charisma smiled. "Is it true then?" Ron asked. "What?" asked Charisma puzzled. "You're engaged?" Ron looked at her. "Ohh!" Charisma blushed. "Gee, I didn't think it'd get around that fast." "Charisma are you sure you know what you're doing?" Ron looked worried. "You're not falling for me are you, Mr. Weasley?" Charisma took a step back. "No... It's just that I don't want to see you hurt." Charisma smiled and removed the gap between them, "Ron, I'm arranged to him. Me loving him is just a bonus!" Ron's mouth dropped. "Ohh!" Charisma smiled, "Well I have to go" and pulled a white chocolate frog from her bag. "What are these?" asked Ron as she handed it to him. "The new Limited Edition White Chocolate Frogs." Charisma kissed him on the cheek and walked away.
At dinner everyone crowded around Draco and Charisma, admiring their glowing rings and congratulating them. Dumbledore stood up and the Hall went silent. "Welcome back from the break," everyone's faces glowed and shot glances at the couple, "By the looks of things most of you know about the celebration that will be happening at the end of this year." Dumbledore nodded at Charisma and Draco and they smiled. "But for those of you that don't know, Miss Cruise and Mr. Malfoy will be getting married later this year." There was a round of applause. "Also...they will be holding the ceremony her at Hogwarts. Which means you are all invited." There was a thunder of applause and cheering, as groups of girls discussed what they were going to wear. Dumbledore waited a while to continue. "Also, don't forget the Forbidden Forest is out of bounds to all students..."
At 'Mail Time' the next morning an owl dropped a broom like object in front of Hermione. Everyone looked to where the broom lay. Hermione opened the envelope carefully. "Hermione, Thought you might need this! Since you're not getting any." Hermione looked around the hall and saw Charisma and Draco laughing. She shot them an evil look, which was returned with a wink from Charisma, and took the present to her room.
Hermione unwrapped her present slowly to find a purple broom labelled "Nimbus 2000." Ginny walked in and stared open mouthed at it. "What would I need this for?" asked Hermione, referring to the broom. Ginny started bursting into fits of giggles. "What's so funny Ginny?" "You honestly don't know, do you?" asked Ginny still giggling. "Know what?" asked Hermione furiously. "See how it's purple? How the sweeping end is soft and plaited all girly?" Hermione stared at it. "Hermione, this isn't a Nimbus 2000. It's just made to look like one, so you don't get embarrassed if someone finds it." "Embarrassed about what? What is it?" Ginny looked at her toes and mumbled. "A what?" asked Hermione. "A bibator," Ginny mumbled. "Spit it out Ginny!" yelled Hermione. "It's a vibrator for fucks sakes. It's a fucking vibrator!" Hermione's eyes widened in shock and Ginny ran quickly out of the room.
By lunchtime everyone had decided what they thought was the present. The 'Hufflepuff Gossipers' Maria, Jennifer and Tegan were sitting on the grass discussing the 'mysterious object.' "I reckon someone is trying to tell her to clean-up-her-act!" said Jennifer. "Why doesn't anyone think that it's just a broom?" argued Tegan. "Because that's stupid," said Maria, "Anyways, that's no fun!"
"Ron!" Harry ran up to Ron who was sitting under the tree that he, Harry and Hermione used to sit under. Ron looked up, while eating his chocolate frogs. "Look Ron, I've thought all holidays of how to apologize, but didn't come up with any that's good. I was going to write you while you were away, but I thought you might've just need some space. Please forgive me Ron. I did a stupid thing before the holidays, and I've regretted it since. I've lost the best girl in the world forever and my best friend." Ron looked at Harry and put out his hand. "Oh all right Harry. I thought about it over the holidays as well, and realised that I over did it with the getting angry." Harry smiled and Ron and Harry were friends, once again.
The next day, Hermione looked around the common room guiltily. She sighed as she saw that no one was there. As she got back into her room she pulled the imitation Nimbus 2000 out of her trunk.
"Hey Draco, It's Charisma. I haven't heard from you in ages! Has this whole arranged marriage thing changed us? Anyway, I'd really like you to come over for dinner tonight. If you do it's at 7:00.
