Christmas dinner was a rather boring affair. The Malfoys had invited them over, and Pansy's parents had happily agreed, determined to arrange a marriage between her and Draco. She sighed as the boy continued bragging about his intelligence and Quidditch prowess (most of which was embellished).
Pansy had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. It was bad enough that she had to attend the Yule Ball with him, listening to his vanity all night long. He didn't even compliment her dress or appearance once. When no one was looking, she let her gaze slip over to Draco's father. Now that was the type of man that she wanted.
Lucius was rich, handsome, classy, and powerful – the ultimate husband. He always dressed sharply and positively exuded confidence. Unlike Draco, who was whiny and immature, Lucius was refined and dignified. He didn't lower himself to bragging, because his attitude alone was enough to make anyone amazed or jealous.
Pansy never considered herself the type of girl to go for older men, but she would definitely make an exception for him. The few gray hairs that sprinkled his blonde head only made him look more sophisticated.
Lucius and Narcissa attended all of the best social functions and ate dinner at the most exclusive restaurants, but despite their show of solidarity, Pansy could tell that there was no love between him. They were cold and tense around each other, and she was willing to bet her inheritance that they'd only married to fulfill their "pureblood duty."
She highly doubted that they were still having sex with each other – Draco even told her that they slept in separate chambers. It was a shame, really; Lucius was far too sexy to have to take care of himself. Pansy was more than willing to help, and if the way Lucius had stared at her cleavage earlier was any indication, she had a feeling that he wouldn't decline any offer she gave him.
Her parents may want her to marry Draco, but she wasn't going to settle. After all, why have a remake when she could have the original?
