He was vaguely aware that he was being led towards the train station . He knew that he would eventually go to his new home - or jail - Malfoy manner . He felt completely lucid for the first time ever . His emotions were there somewhere but they weren't interfering anymore with his course of actions . He also guessed that he was confusing Draco for there had been no mockery, attack or insult .yet . That newfound control over his emotions was in fact quite precarious but he relished the experience despite his new marital status, he was also cautious not to loose this control because it seemed to be an effective weapon, prevention or whatever it was against Draco's usual condescendant self. His hand informed him that it was being held firmly yet surprisingly gently . Draco's soft and creamy skin felt oddly comforting . He wasn't the only person who's life had been totally turned upside down .
On the train Lucius left them alone in a luxious compartment to go and have his first decent meal today as he put it . Neville decided to push his advantage by speaking what was on his mind and heart from the beginning . He wanted to be prepared for the future and this matter settled at once . So he decided to meet Draco's gaze which he knew had been fixated on him since they boarded the train and spoke his first real sentence of the day . -" What should I expect from you and you family in general ?" .
Draco had been tring to convince himself that he was the master of the situation . Well the ceremony had been conducted smoothly although there was a definit lack of stunning charms and anti hysterics potions administrated to Longbottom and he was heading home, to his universe and playing ground although he and his spouse would be heading in a few days to Hogwarts for their final year . He hoped that things would not be too complicated . For some strange reason he did not want to alienate Longbottom . He did not want to live the next few years in constant fights and tantrum . Although he had been distractedly gazing at Neville he noticed that Longbottom had been thoughtful and collected .But when Neville met his gaze with his soulful dark brown eyes he felt naked and vulnerable as these mature - mature was indeed the appropriate term - eyes tried to bore into his very soul . -"What should I expect from you and you family in general ?" To his utter bewilderment, he had absolutely no answer to provide, he himself didn't know . Neville was proving himself to be full of surprises .
Neville then shifted his head to gaze through the window and seemed to gaze at the rapidly changing scenery . But he resumed talking .
-"I want you to know that I don't like this turn of events .Getting married wasn't planned on my schedule before my thirties and you weren't especially figuring amongst my possible choices of husbands . Yet I will be brief . As my husband and probably the dominant partner in this "marriage" you have rights over me body and soul . It would be a waste of time for me to oppose to these rights . Your father sure knew how to write the wedding contract . I just hope that you would be gentle and considerate during our moments of "intimacy" . I shall respect you and your decisions . I won't object unless it's necessary . I know also that I am supposed to bear your child since your father had also made sure that I was a certified "carrior", I just hope that you understand that I will have an active role in the upbringing of our child . Money, estates etc. are of no importance to me although I hope you will help me in restoring my parents estate . I will also grant you divorce you will surely ask of me when you will have the right to do so . Except these simple demands I ask for nothing but to be respected and just be left alone . Do we have an agreement ?"
"Agreed!" Draco never sounded so relieved in his entire life -"Oh I forgot if you ever feel inclined to take a lover, please do !"
Author's notes : I realize my chapters are short . But I don't have much time to elaborate larger chapters since yours truly is a very responsible biology student . I will try to writ more though .
