Chapter 2

Draco looked up from his homework and gazed at the house elf cowering before him.

"Master Malfoy is waiting for you in your dorm…he wishes to speak with you," the elf squeaked before hurrying away quickly. Draco shrugged and got up…he didn't want to do his homework anyway.

He gave a light knock before opening the door and stepping in. His father was standing by the fireplace, gazing at him.

Draco walked up to him, and stood there, his hands clasped behind his back, waiting for permission to do otherwise.

"You may sit down, Draco," Lucius Malfoy said.

"Thank you, sir," Draco replied, sitting down on his bed.

Draco's father stepped up to him and cleared his throat.

"Draco," Lucius began, "I believe you have a schoolmate named Abbey Miller. Do you know her?"

"Yes," Draco replied, feeling anger rise in him.

"She is a pureblood, is she not?" Lucius asked, placing both of his hands on the top of his cane, leaning on it.

"I'm not sure," Draco answered, "I think she is."

"She is," Lucius replied, "We have checked already." Draco gazed at his father, unsure by what this meant.

"You checked?" he asked.

"Your mother and I have decided, Draco, that it is time for you to start focusing on settling down," Lucius said.

"Settle down?" Draco repeated, getting more confused, "You mean getting married and stuff?"

"Precisely," Lucius said, "And your mother and I decided that this Abbey Miller would be a good wife."

Draco almost fell off of his bed. He couldn't help his mouth dropping open in complete shock.

"Wh--what!" he stuttered.

"We want you to marry Abbey," Lucius said, a flicker of impatience in his voice.

"But I'm only eighteen!" Draco exclaimed, "I haven't even finished school!"

"Your mother and I were married when we were eighteen," Lucius replied calmly, "And it will be after you graduate from Hogwarts."

"But-but…" Draco sputtered, at a complete loss for words.

"But nothing," Lucius snapped, clearly agitated now, "We've already talked with her parents, and they think it's a good idea as well."

Draco's stomach dropped. He knew there was no avoiding it now. If her parents were in on it too, it was going to happen…no matter what.

At that same moment, Abbey was staggering away from her parents in her own dorm, a look of the utmost horror and disgust on her face. She shook her head back and forth slowly, only soft choking noises escaping her lips.

"You can't--you can't make me…" she finally muttered, her voice barely audible.

"We can and we will," her father said sternly.

"I'll…I'll run away!" she cried weakly, still shaking her head.

"You know very well that we would find you in a heartbeat," her father replied calmly, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I don't want to!" Abbey exclaimed, bursting into tears.

"It doesn't matter if you want to or not," her father snapped, "It's important that we keep both of our families pureblood."

"Pureblood? That's what this is about! That's bullshit!" Abbey screamed in anger. In the blink of an eye her father slapped her across the cheek. Her cheek began to sting instantly and she felt the blood rushing to it.

"How dare you talk back to me!" her father yelled furiously, "You are going to marry Draco, whether you like it or not!"

Abbey didn't reply. She only clutched her cheek as tears rolled silently down her cheeks. She knew she had no choice…she had to marry him.
