A/N: I'm back! Things got a bit busy I was having a multi-sport season and it got pretty busy. Both of my teams went to sections so it was pretty swell. I was in the process of directing a play as well among work and other activities. So here is my day off and I'm spending it on you! Enjoy, thanks reviewers, sometimes I forget to say thanks, so even If I don't say it, I mean it. Xx3

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is my pretty snazzy phone, which my mother will be happy to tell you now cost $30 instead of the 200 I paid for. And I will tell you that I simply don't care. =)

When Draco returned to his room and slammed his door closed he noticed a petite raven haired girl on his bed wearing nothing but a button down men's shirt that wasn't his. The girl stood up, leaving Draco to take notice that the shirt was un-buttoned. Any qualms he may have had concerning whether or not she was wearing something underneath were gone, not that he thought she was anyway.

The girl was a good three inches taller than Ginny, standing at 5'6", but much skinnier than her. She did not have Ginny's curves and the outline of her bones could be seen. Her chin length bob suited her well, but he found that it wasn't nearly as endearing as Ginny's long auburn tresses.

Once she reached him, she smirked, like only a Slytherin can do. Testing the boundary line she said "It's a pity come Christmas you'll no longer have your play things anymore." Draco pushed her away and sneered as he started to discard his clothing, save his pants. She however continued on. Following him, she said, "I mean you are bound by blood to remain faithful, I however am not bound to such troublesome bonds. I almost pity you, my dear betrothed," she gave a small smug laugh and continued, "you are completely infatuated with the Weasley girl, and I find it rather comical when I can overlook how nauseating it is. No matter, I can ride on all the horses and brooms and men I wish to, and I won't have to worry my pretty little head that you're off getting diseases and touching filth."

Within two strides Draco was up against her throat, and she up against the wall smirking. Draco said with much venom and disgust, "Make no mistake my beloved betrothed, I assure you the only thing you will be able to ride is me." With that he slammed her into the wall an thrust angrily into her as she wrapped her legs around his bare waist, getting what she wanted all along.

'Oh yes," thought Astoria Greengrass, 'Ginny Weasley may have his heart, but come Christmas, it won't matter, because I will have everything else.'


Thousands of miles away, on an island surrounded by impenetrable magic, bound inside a glass room, somewhere in the biggest building, lost to anyone who didn't know where to find it Lucius Malfoy laughed.

Sure he may be in Azkaban locked away for the rest of his life, but that was fine with him. He came but a few months ago, maybe a year, he didn't really know, but not before getting a little revenge. It was a small trivial thing really, but it was enough. It would punish his two remaining family members for becoming traitors.

It was simple really, and when he spoke with the Greengrass girl she had no objections, and why should she? She did not have to be faithful and she had access to the Malfoy name and funds.

By December 25, Draco, already bound by a simple pureblood curse at birth, would be forced to be married and faithful to a girl he thought nothing of, now bound by an obligation to keep his mother alive.


-okay so I'm already writing the next chapter but I need you guys to give me a bit of feedback so I'm not going to post it yet. I want to know if you want the whole article of Draco's story, bits and pieces of the article, or just mention it in passing. I can do it any of the three ways; I just want to know what you as readers want. You probably want to know more about the curse and Astoria but do you want more than that? Idk, you tell me.
