The Ministry had lost their mind. A marriage law of all things!
Draco sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, a habit he had picked up from his godfather. He was in no position to argue the new law. Even though he had escaped receiving the mark it was a known fact that he and his family had harbored the Dark Lord in their manor. A manor that was no more thanks to the final battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
It was a miracle that he and his parents survived the Fiendfyre that destroyed the remaining horcruxes and the old Malfoy homestead with them.
Apparently God had a sense of humor. He survived Hell's fire only to be paired with none other than his cousin, Nymphadora Tonks.
True that it wasn't uncommon in Wizarding Britain, especially in pureblood circles, for cousins to wed, and he probably would have grinned and bared it if his father or mother had arraigned the match, but the hadn't. And to make matters worse she was a disowned, halfblood, metamorphmagus of a cousin. It would take ten generations before the Malfoy named would be considered truly pureblood again. A fate that hadn't befallen his house for seven centuries.
Taking another swig of his drink he began to mentally list Tonk's traits and physical shortcomings. She was pretty enough if he was perfectly honest with himself. She was only seven years his senior. Not too bad considering he could have ended up with someone as ancient as McGonagall.
Gods was she clumsy. He could easily foresee having to charm every valuable item in the house against accidental breakage.
At least she was a witch. He could have been paired with a muggle or Salazar forbid a mudblood. He finished the remainder of his drink in one gulp as he fought the nightmarish images of shagging Granger. He honestly didn't see why his godfather fancied her.
Shaking himself he made his way to bed.
Not surprised when his thoughts turned to Tonks. She was no golden goose but at least he didn't get the ugly duckling either.
"To think they used to call me the master of the two-hour female orgasm at Hogwarts." he laughed. "My how the mighty have fallen."
