I sat in my fathers office stroking my pet snake, Aurora. My pitch black hair drifted across the snakes scaly skin. My father, Severus Snape walks in. "Ah Hermione darling. I see you got my owl." I nod my head. "What did you want to talk I me about?" Aurora twirls around my leg. "Well I don't think I ever told you. As a Pureblood your betrothed to someone. Maybe even before your born." I stop him. "Ok so this affects me how?" I ask him. "Well you are betrothed." My dad says. "My eyes widen. I get up and stand over my fathers desk. "I'm 17 and your just now telling me this!" I say, annoyed. "Your mother and I agreed to tell you before it happened." My dad says. "So you wanna tell me who I have to marry?" I ask. "He should be arriving in a few minutes. He says. I groan and plop back in the chair. I pull my hair to the side and stroke Aurora. There's a knock on the door and my father gets up. He walks to it and opens it. "I'm sorry if I'm late. I had to go to practice and-" a familiar voice says. "Really it's fine. I was just telling Hermione about all of this." "Oh,great." The voice says. "Please come in." My dad beckons him to the chair next to me. I look up to see platinum blond hair and cold grey eyes staring at me. My betrothed was none other than Draco Malfoy.
