Chapter 7

Draco's pov

After my dad left, Ryan offered to walk me to my dorm, he such a gentleman. He offered me his hand and opened the door for me. With that Ryan and my new guards left for the Ravenclaw tower. This is all so weird.

"Draco"

"Yes Ryan"

"I am curious, where is your mother. I noticed that your dad was the only one that showed up"

"My mother died when I was born. It is just I and my dad". I said sadly

"Oh I am sorry"

"It is ok".

"How is this whole body guard thing is going to work"

"At night they are going to take shifts in guarding you and they going to follow you around the school."

"But how are they going to do the guard me at night. I sleep in dorm room with other students" Draco says. He does not like the fact that he would have to people following him around every day.

"I will speak to the headmaster to see about you getting a room. But they would just stay outside the room."

Seeing the look on Draco's face "Draco this is for your protection. As the prince, I have a lot of enemies that will do anything to hurt you. I don't want to lose you when I have just found you."

"Ok." Draco says resignedly.

They made small talks until they got to the tower. Getting to know each other. When they got to the tower Draco turned to the prince to say goodnight.

"This is my stop"

"Good night Draco. I will see you tomorrow" Ryan says as he leaned forward and kissed both his cheeks.

"Goodnight" I said with a blush on my cheeks. I turned answered the riddle, which was given to me as the password and entered into the dorm. Before the portrait closed I turned and smiled shyly at Ryan and closed the portrait. I turned and saw Hermione sitting on one of the chairs reading. She was obviously waiting for me.

"Hey Hermonie" I said making her jump

"Don't hey me, I want details".

"Can this wait till breakfast I am a bit tired. I really tired"

"Ok. But Draco, who are those men behind you"

"Oh. These are Theodore and Blaise apparently I now have guards."

"Oh"

"Goodnight Hermonie"

"Goodnight Draco" with that they both left for their respective beds. As Draco lied in bed he could not help but feel excited at the prospect of being courted. Ryan is so handsome and he seems to want him. He genuinely hoped that this works out. He does not care that Ryan is a price. Money cannot buy happiness. After all his dad his a very wealthy man.
