"Draco? Draco! Where are you?"
"Here Professor," replied the blond, appearing from round a corner.
"Ah. There you are. Up to no mischief I hope, hmm?"
Draco laughed. "Of course not sir. Just catching up on a bit of homework."
"Excellent, excellent. Now, the reason of my calling. I am your godfather, no?"
"You are."
"And your mother left you in my care before she departed. This you know."
"I do."
"This means I provide for you- your education, board, food and other such necessities. However, another issue I hold dear to my heart is your happiness."
"I thank you. I have been well provided for and I am grateful to you for everything-"
"Yes yes. Well, how are you… disposed…"
Draco was puzzled. "Disposed… to what?"
"Marriage."
"Marriage?!"
"Yes… don't look so surprised. The question was going to arise sooner or later. You are of pure blood and of noble breeding."
"The two often walk hand in hand."
The older man laughed. "Yes, yes. They do don't they… except when it comes to certain families… like the Weasleys. Anyway, are you well acquainted with Pansy Parkinson?"
"Yes, moderately."
"Yes… good, good. Well, it is the wish of her parents and herself that an alliance is made between the two of you."
"Oh."
"However, I have asked them to wait… for a while. However, tonight is the ball and I wish you to… how to put it…"
"Date her?"
"Yes, exactly. Court her for want of a less formal word. Dance, drink, flirt… keep it clean mind you-"
"Professor!"
"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. Just checking… Now, go and be happy, my boy. You have a wonderful future ahead of you."
"I know… and I will not let you or my family down."
In this story, Draco and Professor Severus Snape are very close. Please just assume that Draco's mother and father are either dead, in Azkaban or who-knows-where so Snape is the only family he has. Snape, in turn is very fond of the boy.
