Ch.1: Part 1

Draco Malfoy ignored the chatter in the Great Hall as he waited for the sorting to begin. This was his final year at Hogwarts and although it was the year in which he would take the NEWT exams, he didn't feel anxiety and fear over the exams that would determine his career choices. No, he felt fear over the fact that he was now seventeen. And at seventeen, he was eligible to be courted.

As a submissive wizard from a prominent family, his courting would be special and well-publicized. But what scared him the most were the wizards that would court him. He felt no fear towards the ancient rituals he would have to follow, but was concerned over those that would try to woo him.

And for the thousandth time he felt grateful that he had the family that he had. That his parents would let him decide and choice his future bonded. That was different from other families that married their children off for wealth and power. His family wanted his happiness. They wanted him to find love and as a small child he had dreamt of having the marriage his parents had.

Although he was the child of Lucius Malfoy and Narcrissa Malfoy nee Black, he had never known his mother. She had been killed by her sister Bellatrix when she had discovered that her sister had been a spy and had helped destroy her master, Lord Voldemort. All he had of her were pictures and letters. And although he had never seen her or had hugged her, he loved her.

The parents of his heart were Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy. They had fallen in love with each other in school, but his grandparents from the Malfoy didn't care for love and had separated them. His grandfather had been one of the original Death Eaters and had forced his son to follow his footsteps, while his grandmother had negotiated the marriage contract between the Blacks and the Malfoys. Thankfully, they had chosen Narcrissa Black, who unlike her sister was sane and kind.

She had gone to school with both of them and they had all been close friends. But she didn't love his father like a man, but as a brother. She had been love with another pureblood Frank Longbottom, but his family was Light and that had been a huge black mark against him. So, they were force into a marriage until they produced an heir. And they had. After the war, both of them had decided to divorce and marry their true loves.

But those hopes had been dashed when his mother had been killed and Frank Longbottom had been tortured into insanity and had later committed suicide in the mental ward at the hospital. And yet that had not been the end of their despair, his half-sister had also been killed.

She had been the product between his parents and the heiress to the Snape and Prince lines. And based on the pictures that he had seen of her, she would have been a beauty with her golden blond hair and black eyes. Her parentage had been obvious. But, he had been denied the chance to have both his birth mother and a sister. His parents had never gotten over their loss to have other children; instead they had focused their love and attention to him. Thankfully, he did not grow up to be spoiled and a pampered prince.

He looked up at the Head table and smiled at his Father, who smiled back. He loved Severus. But there were times that he wished for a feminine presence in his life; for the warmth and hugs of a mother figure, but that longing never interfered with the love he felt towards the man. He knew that the love between both men was real and he envied it and wanted the same for himself.
