Draco Malfoy

It's late evening at Malfoy Manor. I'm sitting at the table, looking at the girl across from me. Next to her is Theo, her older brother. We've known each other for a long time. We were in the same year, in the same house, the same age. Best friend. And now I learn that his father and mine have decided that his sister and I should get married. To put it simply, to strengthen the alliance between the Malfoys and the Notts. Lucius and their father were animatedly discussing our future, and I simply looked at her, ignoring Theo's smirk. He understandably found it amusing; his sister was being married to his best friend. Finally, unable to bear her silence, he leaned slightly toward her. "So, why aren't you saying anything?"
