~~~Recap~~
Draco felt himself nod dazedly and follow his father to the elevator. Stumbling along the ministry behind Lucius, Draco barely took anything in. Only when he got to his office did he say a word, "BLOODY HELL!" he shouted at the sight of an owl already perched on his desk.
Chapter two- the sorting hat.
Lucius let out a quick laugh at the owl perched on his son's desk. He was going to get grandchildren sooner than first thought! looking at his son he raised his brow,
"Are you going to take the damn letter and let the bird go, or make it sit there all day?"
clearing his suddenly tight throat, Draco took a tentative step forwards. In a sudden, and uncharecteristic show of cowardice he turned on heel and whispered, "I dont want to dad.."
Lucius took pity on his son and retrieved the note from the bird. The owl hooted and took off for the next letter to be sent. Looking at dracos pale complexion already more pale and beginning to turn green he said, "Sit draco." In a commanding tone. Draco took this order immeaditly and sat in his desk chair. Lucius pushed the letter to Draco across the desk.
Swallowing and wiping his suddenly sweaty hands Draco picked up the wax seald envelope and looked up to see the encouraging face of his father nodding for him to continue. With another gulp, Draco broke the seal and began to read the letter that held the terms and conditions for the rest of his life.
Mr. Draco Malfoy,
You have been selected for your pairing date, the time is 3:00 PM this afternoon in courtroom 3A.
Upon being paired you will proceed to the clergy room to become bonded and set a date for your wedding.
It came to our attention while trying to pass this bill that you may have questions as to the proceedings. While we cant answer all your questions here are a few answers that we have found are most important for you to know.
The pairings are made based off of one thing
The ability, and likeliness of procreation. -
When he read this Draco frantically looked at his father. Lucius looked back with a questioning glint in his gaze, "father... it says my wife will be chosen on the base of our likeliness to have children together!" Lucius laughed heartily at this, which earned him a glare and a bitter, "I see how it is." from his son. With his gaze returning to the horrible piece of paper Draco continued.
While this fact may be shocking and even unwanted by some, we must press the issue that if it is not continued in a way that will produce magical beings we will be erased from history. The rise in squibs being born is alarming. There are some conditions to this marraige that upon being matched you will be obligated to follow. The first and foremost of these obligations are as follows,
1) The couple MUST produce a child within the first year of their marraige or they are subject to re-evaluation and re- pairing.
2) Unless the marraige is annuled there will be fidelity charms placed on the couple.
3) If you miss your pairing meeting or are not scheduled to be married within the next three weeks, a minimum fine of 1500 Galleons or 24 hours in Azkaban prison will be issued to you.
Also, we regret to inform you that if you have chosen a mate, and the two of you cannot produce offspring, then you will be paired with someone else.
Thank you-
Kingsley Shacklebolt
Minister of Magic.
Draco felt absolutely ill. He felt positively... nothing. For the first time in his life, Draco Malfoy felt nothing; not anger or sadness, no longer sick either. He was just completely 100% numb. Looking at his clock he realized that he only had ten minutes to get to his appointment.
It was 3:01 and draco sat in the court room feeling nothing but nerves wrack his body. Looking around the room he saw 5 other people, a fellow slytherin, Blaise Zabini, and the nervous Gryffindor Nevil Longbottom were on his side of the room, and on the other sat, Hermione Granger, Pansy Parkinson, and Ginny Weasly. Raising his lip a little in a Malfoy show of disdain he thought of how he didnt particularly like any of these women.
A door in the back of the room opened and Draco turned to see the Minister, and dumbledore walk into the room. Dumbledore was carrying the sorting hat. 'You have got to be bloody kidding me!' Draco thought exsaperatedly, rolling his eyes at the audacity of dumbledore, walking in with a twinkle of his eye and the same bounce to his step that draco previously sported.
Looking around the glum room dumbledore smiled and said, "Neville m'boy, why dont you start us off." Neville looked like he was going to mess himself infront of everyone. looking around at the other patrons of the room, Neville stood up and made his way to Dumbledore. The old man placed the hat on his head and waited, they all waited with their breath held, the hat opened its mouth and everyone leaned forwards, "Next!" it called uneventfully. Draco scoffed and sat back in his chair.
After everyone was called, dumbledore raised his hand and announced, "the hat will now make the pairs."
once again everyone sat on edge as the old ratty hat began to speak.
"for a pair of misfits and opposits, you will make a handsom, brave and cunning child, Neville Longbottom and Pansy Parkinson!"
Draco looked at Pansy's horrified face and had to smirk, at least a little. His mood was instantly shifted back to apprehensive when the hat took a dramatic (and un-needed) breath.
"The next two have known the other for quite some time, yet they hardly know eachother. The journey you take will be full of suprises, and perhaps the awaited bundle of joy will come with suprises too."
Draco held his breath, "Draco Malfoy, and Hermione Granger!" the hat called.
Draco held his breath in he refused to believe what he just heard. This wasnt happening. This is NOT real. Just when he thought it couldnt get worse, he fainted.
