(With Draco)
"I don't care for the reason, I do not accept the terms. I never signed the blasted document, so I don't see how I should be forced to marry! Especially Granger!"
"In a few weeks, possibly less, you won't be able to call her that anymore."
Draco sneered, shaking his head, he sat down across from his father and stared at him. "How can you be so relaxed? What happened!? For months you've been harping over mother, not knowing what to do without her, and drinking your woes and pathetic sorrows away...then Shacklebolt floo's in and an hour later you are...completely nonexistent to the world around you!"
"Non-existent, am I?" Lucius said with false curiosity. "I'll have you realize Draco, that while I may seem capable of finding loopholes in most things...I can't be expected to find one in everything. My wand is snapped...metaphorically speaking...there is nothing that I nor anyone else can do. With of course a movement to remove the law, but that won't be possible until the law has had time to mature, and according to the bylaws and the decrees post following, that won't be possible until results have been met after at least six years. That will be three years from the last day of the three year conceivement plan."
"Conceivement plan? What bollocks!" Draco flared once more, throwing his anger around aimlessly as he tried to process the letter he'd just received by owl. "What does this plan entail!?"
"You are given three years to conceive a child, if one is not...that is to say, conceived...than a letter will be owled acknowledging the time of the laws terms and agreement being met, and the option for annulment."
Draco gave his father a hard look as he started to calm his temper down, the way his father eyed the fireplace gave the notion that he was expecting someone, but Draco hadn't the faintest idea as to who would be coming to see his father now. "Who is it you are waiting for?"
"...Weasley..."
Draco frowned, "what is that old mess coming over for? We've nothing left for him to dig his nose into..."
"No...not Weasley Senior, Draco."
POOOHF!
Lucius snapped his finger and a house elf appeared beside him. "Clean our guests."
POOOHF!
Draco watched on in shock and detest as Ronald Weasley left their fireplace first, and then a few seconds after, a young girl with long raven black hair, and bright blue eyes, surely no older than himself...stepped out next.
The house elf quickly did away with any particles of dust and ash that may be on their guests or on the floor, then disappeared silently to finish whatever it was doing prior the summons.
"Mr. Malfoy, I'm here on behalf of the Minister of Magic. As pre-explained by Minister Shacklebolt, Kagome Higurashi, age eighteen, and chosen bride-to-be of one...Lucius Malfoy...was recently flown from Japan, and is now registered in the Ministry of Magic. She is registered as a Witch and with your guidance, expected to learn the ways and laws of the wizarding world. You will be owled a letter stating the time frame of your wedding, and immediately after your prenuptials, you will be met with a time frame to which to begin your...conceivement rituals." Ron sighed, pocketing the letter he read from as he did, "you will hear from the ministry in no more than two weeks, you will also have checkups concerning the wellbeing of your bride-to-be, and the condition of her health and stay here will be of utmost importance. Kagome Higurashi, to increase the likelihood of conception, it's important to have daily intercourse in the days leading to ovulation and on the day you ovulate. A good approach is to have sex one to two days before ovulation and again on the day you ovulate. A calendar will be provided after your first health inspection, and it will explain in more detail the times best suited for copulation, as well as a detailed schedule designed specifically to your Menstrual Cycle and the course of your Ovulation." A wave of Ron's wand had two suitcases being restored to their natural size. "I say this with earnest, Mr. Malfoy...I'm not sure how second chances wore in your family...but since the Ministry has given you one...how about trying not to waste it. If I were you...which thankfully I'm not...I would recommend starting by not repeating the mistakes of your last relationship..."
Draco shook his head, eyes wide in shock after the lengthy telling that they'd just been given by Ron Weasley...RON WEASLEY...he just couldn't let it sink in. "I can't even imagine how hard that speech was for you, Weasley."
Ron shrugged, "I've given it to thirteen others before your father and Kagome...another eighty or ninety won't change anything. I'm also on that stupid list, and so too are you, which reminds me..." Ron pulled out another letter, "Of your own convenience...you are expected to meet Hermione at Shacklebolt's office...it's your responsibility to find a time that works best for you and Hermione." He handed the letter to Draco with further detail before he quickly took to the floo and spoke Ministry of Magic, leaving the three in silence for a few moments.
Finally pulling himself from the shock of the scene he'd just played eyewitness too, Draco turned to Kagome. "Tell me something, tell me something..." Draco called out to the girls attention, catching her curious eyes, he continued, "does it not bother you in the least bit, that you will be marrying someone who is twice your age, if not a bit more?"
Lucius looked curiously at the girl as well. Though he may not have worded the inquiry in such a way that his son did, he too found himself wondering what answer the girl would give him.
Kagome was still trying to process all of which had just been spoken by the ginger who had guided her here and there throughout the day. All of it was overwhelming, and yet...so structured...so thought-out...it scared her a bit. She shook her head and smiled as she turned her attention back to the two men in front of her. "I know it's not customary to talk about prior relationships, but since it seems to be that much of a quandary, my previous boyfriend was actually two century's older than myself...so...I can't say that age bothers me...however, what does bother me, is when I am compared to another woman, or when infidelity comes into play. I'm not too fond of cheaters or liars."
"...you dated a two hundred year old man?" Draco asked dumbfounded.
Kagome smiled, "it was a long time ago...a little more than five hundred years ago...to be exact. Though I imagine things such as that is normal for a Wizard?"
Draco shook his head, "no, I'm afraid you are the first I've met. Tell me one more time, how old are you?"
Kagome laughed and walked away from her luggage and started towards a window, "eighteen..."
"Alright then, see, for a second I thought you were older then my father...but see, you aren't...so I find it hard to believe that you dated someone five-hundred years ago."
"I found it hard to believe that there were people out there who could wave a stick and conjure up love potions and fly on broomsticks...yet here I am...and here you are." Kagome turned away from the window, and looked to Draco, "the world's full of such enigmas..."
"...well there you have it." Draco laughed, "I see now that my problem isn't nearly as...unique...as yours is Father." Draco made his way to the fireplace, "I will be away for a while...Nott Estate."
Kagome watched with interest as the boy vanished, leaving the thoughtful looking man before her to look on in fascination at her. She wasn't really there to entertain the boy, but she had nothing to cover up. After all, they were wizards, what's a demon or two compared to magic and Evil Lords? Or was it Dark Lords?
"Kagome, could you humor an old man to a walk around the estates gardens? I daresay that some fresh air would do me good, and it would provide us ample time to talk and get to know one another."
Kagome smiled in kind to him, it didn't look like he had a problem with the situation, and while she was still trying to adapt to the situation, she personally had no problem with him...it was the blackmail and the Ministry she had a problem with. Though, needless to say, what was done, was done, and she would now do what she could, to find out everything she could, about both her father...and what it was that made him leave. "A walk would be lovely, Mr. Malfoy."
"Lucius, please...call me Lucius."
