Chapter 1

Draco sat at the table; hands crossed in front of him as he listened to his father address the other members of council. Smirking inside as what his father said registered in the expressions on the council member's faces.

"From now on all of the dealings will be handled by my son. Is that understood gentlemen." The members at the table nodded although it really wasn't a question. It had been a long time coming now, Draco's succession to the head of the family; although many of the council's members did not approve of Draco they would never speak against the Patron.

Lucius turned to his son, nodding his head slightly, Draco nodded back and stood. Bowing to everyone in the room he addressed the council.

"Gentlemen it is my honor to, at this time officially accept my succession and as my first order of business, Nott would you please rise." Draco turned to look at Nott Sr. "Nott you have been disloyal to your Patron and your fellow council members. Do you deny these claims?" Nott's complexion a normal off tan color instantly reddened.

"I Do!" He turned to Lucius "Are you going to let this boy talk to me in such a manor!" Lucius looked at him impassively saying nothing. Nott turned back to Draco. "Where is your proof of such a betrayal?" He smirked, thinking that Draco would have none, assured that he had covered his tracks. Draco's only response to Nott's question was to snap his fingers. Causing a projection screen to roll down from the ceiling, a remote appeared in his hand and he proceeded to press play. Pictures and documents appeared on the screen. The council members turned to look and as they did the chamber broke out in murmurs and whispers. Draco turned back to face Nott who's face had turned ashen.

"Is this proof enough for you?" He said addressing the council. Dolohov, who was ranked as Lucius' fourth in command spoke.

"It is enough proof for us Fils Patron." Draco nodded as Dolohov took his seat.

"What is to be his punishment?" The only woman in the chamber stood. Draco turned to look at his Aunt. Placing his hands on the back of the chair he put his head down and thought. This was the moment; his decision would make or break his rule as Patron. He had to be firm but not cruel. He looked up facing Nott.

"Nott Sr. for your crimes against the council you are to be abjured and stripped*, never will a council member look upon you in friendship or they shall share your fate. Your sentence may never be repealed no matter what Patron reigns. That is my will and the will of this council, it shall be." Nott let out a cry of outrage.

"How dare you! How dare you abjure me!" He lunged across the table but Crabbe and Goyle grabbed him. "You will regret this boy!"

"Take him to the dungeon. LeStrange."

"Yes Fils Patron."

"You will carry out his stripping." Bellatrix nodded.

"Of course." She followed Crabbe and Goyle out of the room, Nott still screaming his revenge.

Draco sat back in his chair and glanced towards his father. Lucius stood.

"This meeting is now adjourned." The council members nodded and stood, filing out of the chambers doors till all were gone, a resounding boom signaling the shutting doors. Lucius looked towards his son.

"You did well Draconis." Draco nodded at his father's approval. "The council will flourish under your hands."

"Thank you for your praise father, it is most welcome." Lucius smiled, standing he walked over to his son and placed a kiss on his forehead, like he used to when Draco was little, and with that he walked out of the chamber. Draco sighed shoulders slumping, he would never admit it to anyone but that had been one of the scariest moments in his life, he was glad to have approval in the councils eyes, of course he still had a long way to go to prove that he could be a good Patron, but he had given them faith and for that he was glad.

2 weeks later

The gang was all out. Sat in Le Roq, a VIP only club, in a private booth was Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and Hermione Granger. They were of course celebrating Harry's ascension, as the youngest in the group and the most powerful this was a very important night. The club was packed with people and the line outside was as long as it had ever been, possibly even longer. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the boy and his inner circle, the only people who didn't seem truly interested in Harry were the people already inside, but in all honesty everyone was excited to see the boy on this day.

Harry sat with one leg stretched out in front of him, the other bent at his side his foot resting on the leather couch, his arm resting on his knee as his other hand held his drink, he sipped slowly from it watching the crowds and listening to his friend's conversation.

Harry looked quickly at his watch and sighed, it was almost time. As much as he was excited to finally come into his inheritance, he was equally tired; he could already feel the pressures that awaited him once he ascended. He pulled his sleeve down over his watch and took another sip of his drink. Luna who was sitting on his left tapped him gently.

"It's almost midnight, we should go." Harry nodded, tossing back the rest of his drink.

"Gather everyone up and I'll meet you guys outside." Luna gave a quick nod and turned to speak to Ron, talking into his ear so that she could be heard over the music, Ron nodded and passed the message along, soon the group was standing heading towards the door as Harry headed towards the bar.

As Harry passed through the crowds those who knew who he was gave him either nods or light touches on the arms or his back, some even went as far as to show him the sign of patronage that his parents often received, he nodded to them all in return. When he reached the bar he quickly scanned it looking for Cedric, spotting him he quickly walked over.

"Ced!" Cedric turned to the shout of his name and seeing Harry, grinned. Harry reached him and they hugged over the bar.

"How long have you been here? It's almost 12 you know." Harry nodded

"I'm leaving now, I just wanted to see you before." Cedric squeezed his hand knowingly.

"You'll be fine trust me, I-"

"Excusez-moi" Cedric and Harry both turned to the person speaking. Cedric nodded, looking back to Harry.

"Hold on a sec." Cedric then turned back to the person to take his order, the guy quickly listed of drinks and food in rapid French, Cedric nodded and moved away to make the drinks. Harry took in the guy standing next to him, he was tall a little shorter than Harry and had silky blond hair that came to just below his chin, framing his face gently. The guy was dressed well, in black slacks and a black shirt which stood out against his pale skin, making his grey eyes glow. At first glance he looked like a vampire but Harry could smell the magic coming off him in calm waves. Before Harry could make any more assement's about the young man he turned and spoke.

"Sorry for interrupting, I am in a sort of rush." Harry looked into his eyes.

"It's fine, I was leaving anyway. Draco cocked an eyebrow.

"But you're still standing here." Harry smirked.

"Yeah I guess I am, aren't I?" He winked at Draco, but before Draco could respond Pansy came up behind him draping herself over his back.

"Dray darling, what is taking so long, we only have a few short minutes." Draco's face remained impassive and he took a calming breath before responding.

"I'm waiting for the bartender Pansy, and I do not need you to tell me how to manage my time." Draco's tone was cold causing Pansy to detangle herself from his person, eyes downcast.

"I apologize." Draco nodded curtly. Harry looked on in light confusion and a lot of intrigue. From the way the girl was acting it would seem like she was a subject of this boy's, Dray. But he was quite young to be king and he knew all of the Regis children. The boy looked at him again, opening his mouth to speak.

"Here is your drink; your order will be at your table shortly." Draco nodded handing Cedric a $20 and taking his drink and the slip of paper Cedric offered. He turned to say something to Harry but saw that he was already in conversation with the bartender.

Cedric held out a box to Harry.

"Here, it's a gift for protection." Harry took the box, smiling.

"Cedric! Ta sig till arbetet, vi har kunder"

"Sorry Har, I gotta go. Congratulations, again." Cedric gave him a bright smile before attending to the mass of customers.

Harry smiled at Cedric's figure, as he worked the crowd. His watch beeped, telling him that he had spent too much time talking to Ced and he most definitely needed to get out of there. He quickly turned and disappeared into the crush of people.

~0~

Draco watched as Harry made his way through the people and out of the club. For whatever reason this brunette had gotten his attention in a matter of minutes , therefore Draco wanted to know more about this boy.

LR: So that's the end of this chapter. I'm going to be honest, I don't know where I'm going to take this story the idea just came to and I wrote it. So if anyone has any ideas I'm welcome to them.
