The rumour is true!
Astoria Greengrass herself has spilled the beans! Her upcoming nuptials with Draco Malfoy are indeed arranged! However, as Astoria herself puts it: "Draco and I didn't know about the arrangement, which has been in talkings since my birth. We fell in love and when Draco told his mother about me, she was thrilled. However, the contract wasn't finished before the sudden passing of Lucius and despite the verbal agreement between our fathers, nothing was set in stone. We chose each other.

Is it about money or love?
It has come to this reporter's attention that even though Lucius Malfoy died last year, Draco Malfoy is still only heir as his mother was instated as de-facto head of house, until Draco Malfoy marries. This begs the questions: why is Draco Malfoy marrying Astoria Greengrass? For money? For status? A sense of duty? Or is it love as Astoria claims?

Ron Weasley was spotted leaving the Leaky Cauldron with Romilda Vane yesterday. This is not the first time the joke shop worker is caught with a witch, since the breakup with the brightest witch of our age, Hermione Granger.

Draco Malfoy looked with disgust on the paper in front of him. Why were people so interested in his personal life? It was even considered better news than Ron Weasley these days.
Of course the marriage with Astoria was arranged. That was how pureblood society worked. But after advice from his mother, he had agreed to spin the story from a love angle. He regretted this now, as he was reading the constant focus on him at the moment. Why couldn't people bloody well leave him alone? He had tried so hard to remain below the radar after the war and keep his projects anonymous as to not being accused of only doing them for publicity.
Even now he was in his study on a Friday night looking over plans to support a new primary school for Muggleborns and purebloods alike, that would focus on preliminary education and a space where accidental magic were manageable, while giving kids the opportunity to bond socially before being sorted into houses. During the war he had seen too much darkness and blood to care about blood-status anymore and if he was supposed to get his own heir in the future, he would do his part to make their world better.
He looked into the fire and considered having another fire whiskey, when the door was slammed open.
"Come on, you twat. Before we have to attend that stuffy stag's party of yours with all your father's business associates, we are kidnapping you for a night out and see if we can remove that stick up your prudish arse, mate." Blaise proclaimed as he grinned.
Behind him Theo came into view and entered the study. Theo immediately poured 3 glasses of fire whiskey and looked smugly at Draco, as he handed out the glasses.
Draco was eyeing the clothes they were wearing and the bag Theo had put down on the couch.
"That's rich coming from you! You both look overdressed for a night out in the pubs. Besides, I don't mind being prudish, thank you very much. Malfoy men always stay pure until marriage, so both parts enter the union clean and open to each other. On another note, what's in the bag?"
Blaise and Theo shared a look and smirked.
"You haven't considered it's more about making sure you don't get disappointed when the bride doesn't know how to handle a wand?" Theo asked.
"Have you even tried a blowjob? Or is that too dirty as well?" Blaise teased.
"Sanctimonia Vincet Semper" Draco answered.
Theo and Blaise laughed.
"That's your choice, mate. But you must suit up anyways. We're not going to any pubs tonight, but to a very exclusive club for members only - and if you won't touch, you can at least look." Blaise said, while handing Draco the aforementioned bag.
"And what is this place we're going to then?" Draco asked.
"House of Troy" Blaise and Theo said in unison.
