Draco's head was spinning dangerously and he was making a great effort to pretend to be unaffected by the news. There were just two options for the deal he stupidly made with the Vampire Queen, and none of them seemed attractive to Draco. He really didn't want to spend the rest of his life surrounded by vampires but he didn't want to marry Ginny Weasley neither. In the other hand he certainly was not going to let Scar Face be happy ever after with the woman he once loved madly, and who betrayed Draco so blatantly.
Draco began thinking that maybe it wasn't a good idea to kill Voldemort after all. The reason he began fighting for the light side no longer existed, the love he felt once for Ginny Weasley was replaced by disdain and resentment, in fact, he wasn't even able to tolerate Ginny's presence close to him. It was true that he didn't want to see her hurt in any way during the war, it was also true that he had done everything in his power to protect her, but since the night she decided to become Potter's girlfriend, Draco never spoke to her again. At first it was unbearable to be near her knowing that he was no longer allowed to touch her or to kiss her, but later he stopped thinking in Ginny the way he used to, he no longer saw her as someone unique and special but rather an attractive young woman but very ordinate in any other way; her smile didn't send him to a rush of emotions anymore, instead he thought that it was overestimated, in time Draco no longer needed to hear her voice or to see her beautiful face. Gradually he proved himself that Ginny Weasley was no longer necessary in Draco's life anymore.
Draco cared deeply for Ginny's well-being, but he didn't want to be close to her, he couldn't be close to her. Draco was sure that if he had to listen one more of Ginny's apologies he would strangle her, and apologize was the only thing Ginny was able to do in Draco's presence since that night. So it was impossible even to consider a marriage with the littlest Weasley, he despised her deeply for not having the so called Gryffindor courage to stand by him, he no longer admired her bravery or her smartness, on the contrary he thought that she was probably the most stupid witch in modern history for sacrificing her happiness to a supposed Wizarding World's savior who for almost eight years never noticed her and never paid attention to her. But it seemed that for Ginny, Harry's sudden discovery of his undying love for her, was more than enough to run into his open arms leaving Draco behind without a second glance. Obviously, she never loved Draco.
He suddenly realized that he had no longer anything or anyone waiting for him to celebrate the victory, no one was going to wait for his return at the Manor, surly his father was already dead or imprisoned, and his mother was finally insane, so she wouldn't notice Draco's return to he Manor. Nobody was to congratulate him for helping defeat Lord Voldemort, he was utterly alone.
"That's impossible Sarah!" Dumbledore's incredulous voice took Draco out of his memories "You can't claim one of them as yours, and absolutely you can't make one of them marry Ginevra Weasley!" For Draco it was clear that Dumbledore was highly irritated at Sarah's request, but he was slightly curious about which part was the most annoying for the Headmaster.
"Of course I can do it Albus!" she left Harry's side and started walking menacingly towards Dumbledore "And be assured that I will do it, I am not asking for your approval Headmaster, I'm merely informing you what is going to happen here. Like it or not"
It was evident to Draco that Dumbledore was trying to find a way out, the old Headmaster was trying to gain some time on his favor, he was trying to build a solid line of reasoning against the inevitable. Even Draco knew what was going to happen.
"Don't look for a way out Dumbledore" a hint of disdain was not lost to Draco "you know that this is going to happen no matter what you think. It's my right to claim one of them even if I haven't helped them, and the marriage idea seems to me like a fair reward for the one who stays. So, I don't really have any more time to discuss this is getting really late and I'd love to settle this thing as soon as possible, so please tell me my dear friend if you have something else to say, just let me inform you that my patience is almost over"
Dumbledore looked defeated, and he just shook his head in negation. Draco had knew it since the beginning, there was no possible way out, and he knew that even if Dumbledore could have figured out something Draco would never break a promise.
"Well it seems that we shall proceed to find out who is the fortunate wizard today" Sarah's voice was almost cheerful "Who wants to come with me?"
That was the question Draco was doing himself. It was clear Draco didn't have a loving family waiting anxiously for his return probably at this point he didn't have a family anymore, but he still have the responsibility to continue the Malfoy line, being the last member of such a great clan; not that continuing the Malfoy line was an obstacle for joining the Vampire Queen, after all she said that it was not necessary to become a vampire to remain with her. He has no friends who will worry about his faith, indeed probably all Hogwart's population hated him for being such a bastard with almost everybody and the few so called friends he once had were Death Eater's children so surly they were already dead, so his friends definitely wouldn't miss him. He needed to take care of the Malfoy fortune, the Malfoy Manor, and of course his mother well-being but those affairs could be taken care of wherever he was going to be. And finally the idea of marrying Weasley was not appealing in the least.
"I'll go with you" Draco's voice sounded so full of self confidence "if you accept me my Lady" Potter can have his whore if that makes him happy, Draco thought.
Snape was gleaming with pride, this time he didn't want to hide it. He was proud of Draco for being such a sensible young man, he knew that serving the Dark Lord was not right, not only because it was wrong to kill innocent people, but also because The Dark Lord was of no use for Draco Malfoy's interests. And now Draco was taking the chance of his life in order to become the most powerful and great wizard of all times. Snape knew that Sarah's wisdom was infinite and that in her care, Draco would develop his full potential.
"If that's what you want Draco, I will be honored to take you with me. But first lets hear what Harry has to say. Do you want to remain here Harry and marry Ginny Weasley? Do you want to stay here with your family and friends? I know you're pretty much in love with Ginevra"
Harry looked intently at Sarah and Draco. "So does Malfoy" Draco was surprised at Potter's statement. So, Wonder Boy knew bloody well that he was stealing Ginny from Draco and have declared his love to Ginny on purpose to annoy Draco. It was only reasonable that with time he really fell for Ginny. This time Draco was really enraged.
"I'm not in love with your little weasel, Scar Head. For all I care you can have her for eternity" Draco smirked, his gray eyes hardening in spite of his controlled voice. "I don't usually take back what I once threw away, you can keep her, I don't mind"
"You must remember Ferret that she dumped you and not otherwise!" Harry was yelling madly, he never endured Malfoy's taunts about Ginny.
Draco smirked lazily "She told you that, didn't she? And I presume that she also told you of those long nights when she couldn't stop screaming my name"
"You bastard!" Harry was restrained by Sarah's strong hand
"That's not a way to thank Mr. Malfoy for saving your life a few hours ago" Sarah said with a stern voice.
"Indeed Harry" Dumbledore said "Mr. Malfoy is very brave to accept to go with Sarah. I'm sure that his was a very difficult decision to make" What was Dumbledore taking about? The decision was not difficult to make, he didn't have anything to lose, Draco thought annoyed. "Leaving your loved ones is never easy, is a sacrifice that no many wizards are willing to make, really Harry while you will be enjoying yourself surrounded by friends and family and of course, the love of Ginny Weasley, Mr. Malfoy will be on his own surrounded by… vampires and without any friend" If Draco didn't knew better he would think that Dumbledore was trying to convince Potter to take his place.
"Really Headmaster, it's nothing…"
Draco couldn't continue as he was interrupted by Dumbledore "I really appreciate Mr. Malfoy your sacrifice. It's really heroic of you to take Harry's place" That was it. He had said the words that would put Harry into action. Draco knew in that instant that he was doomed. An indeed he was.
"I'll go with you my Lady" Harry practically yelled "As much as I hate Malfoy I won't let him sacrifice himself going with you, besides that way I'll pay my wizarding debt to him for saving my life"
"I don't want you to pay me Potter, I didn't save your life and I would really appreciate if you'd stop messing in my businesses" Draco was beginning to lose all the patience he had, but he still tried to reason with Saint Potter. "Besides I'm sure you want to marry your weasel"
"As much as I'd love to do that, I want to pay you Malfoy, so I'll go"
"You realize that if I let you go I will have to marry the weasel?"
"I know you will take good care of her"
"I will make her life miserable if you let her marry me. I don't her to be my wife. I don't want a wife, and she's not worthy for carrying the Malfoy name" Draco was officially desperate.
"As I said boys, I don't have the rest of the night" Sarah's impatient voice put an end to the argument "Draco, as much as I would love to keep you by my side, I think Harry's right. He wants to pay his wizarding debt and he will take your place and go with me. I'm sorry dear, but you don't have to worry that much, if you want me to help you to develop your full powers, we can arrange your training with me. But right now I'm afraid that you will have to marry Ginevra Weasley as soon as possible, to fulfill your part of the deal. As for you Harry, I'll come in two weeks and then you will go with me after we attend Draco's wedding"
