Chapter 7

Previously

"I give my permission for Ryan to court Draco" I am so happy that I almost did a happy dance outside my head. I could not help smiling. My parents were smiling too.

"Thank you Lucius. Well as that is over. Ryan has to do the Elvin part as custom demands".

I turned to Draco and stretched my hand towards him to take and he took it shyly. I knelt down on the floor.

"Draco would you grant me permission to court you".

"Yes I will". Draco says shyly as he blushed. I stood up happily and gave kisses on both cheeks.

Normal pov

After Draco accepted the courtship, the Prince took Draco's hand and led me to sofa and sat beside me.

"Well, now that it is over. Draco is the heir of a wealthy pureblood family. It is a rule in the pureblood traditions that the parents of the people in question get together and talk about what the person being courted is entitled to and draw a contract. "

"Well we could go to the next room and talk about this contract" with that the King, Queen, Lucius and Severus stood up and left Draco alone with the prince.

"Draco, I can't tell you enough how happy I am that you have accepted the courtship. I must say that you are more beautiful than I ever imagined."

Draco could feel his face heat up. "Thank you my prince".

"Draco you can call me Ryan. Prince or Prince Ryan is too formal. You are after all going to be my consort, if you agree at the end of the courtship at the end". Ryan says as he watched Draco. Draco is so cute and innocent. He is so shy as well. I love the little things about him already. Like the way he blushes whenever he notices my stares or when I smile at him or when I complemented on his beauty. I suspect that he as innocent as the day he was born.

"Ok" There was a pause "Ryan?"

"Yes Draco"

"How long does to courtship last and what does being bonded to you entail"

"Six months and after that time there would be a ceremony where the you would be asked if you would accept to mate with me. If your respond were yes, then whenever you are ready, we would mate with each other. You are going to be my consort if you agree to marry me. When it is my parent's time to retire, you would rule by my side. I can give you some books if you like."

"I would like that thank you" they continued the conversation until their parents and Severus came back to the room.

"Ryan these are the courtship papers. You are required to read the over. If you agree with them, you sign them and Draco would sign them after" Lucius says as he handed the papers over.

Ryan was presented with the Courtship contract and read it over. Draco had been reading over his shoulder. After he was finished reading the papers, Ryan looked into the boy's eyes with a question in his. Draco gave a nod. Ryan then picked up the quill and signed it without further comment or complaint. Draco then signed.

When done, the papers were handed back to Lucius. Lucius made two three copies one for him, Ryan parents and one to be sent to the ministry. After that the King called fourth two guards.

"Draco these are your guards. The one on the left is Blaise and the one on the left is Theodore"

"But…"

"Now Draco you are going to be the Consort prince. It is only right that you be protected at all times," the king says.

Draco looks at his father for help. "He is right Draco" Draco nods his head reluctantly. "I have to leave now it is getting late and Draco has to go to bed. It is almost time for curfew." Draco stands up and gave his father a hug.

"I will miss you daddy"

"I will miss you too my Dragon. Give him a chance. I can sense that he is a good man".

"Bye daddy" with that Lucius left.

"I will escort you to your dorm Draco".
