Mrs Malfoy by law~ Draco x reader

My body hit the ground as the death eaters cackled at my pain. I groaned standing up determined not to give up. They pushed me down again and I hit the floor with a heavy thud that took my breath away. I pushed myself back up as they dragged me away. I could hear 'Mione's screams making me cringe. I saw Bellatrix Lestrange walk into the room cackling looking at me with an evil smile.

" Your sister put up quite a fight," She cackled again as I wobbled on my feet.

"  If you hurt her I swear-" I growled making her laugh even more.

" You'll what? You don't have your friends with you anymore Mudblood," She laughed walking over to me. " Crucio."  I fell to the ground as the worst pain I had ever felt went through my body. I screamed as she said it over and over again. My whole body was shaking when she finished and I could hear some of the others laughing at my weak form. I screamed as I felt something sharp go into my arm. I closed my eyes tightly waiting for it to be over, biting my tongue to keep from screaming. I looked down at my arm seeing the blood fall from the cuts. My heart stopped as I saw what it said, Mudblood was carved into my arm. I shuddered knowing it'd always be there.

" You bitch," I seethed making her cackle. 

" Oh what a wonderful way to make sure you know your place," She smiled at her work. I went to get up again to show I wasn't weak and I could stand my ground when she used the Cruciatus curse again. I fell to the ground defeated just wanting all of this to be over.

I woke up to someone shaking me causing me to reach under my pillow for my wand. I pointed my wand at the person causing them to hold up their hands. I sighed lowering my wand seeing as it was only Hermione. She sat at the edge of my bed looking at me worriedly. I shook her off though not wanting to talk about it and made my way to the bathroom with clothes in hand. Today we'd be finding out why we didn't have any classes for the first week. I put light make-up on after I got dressed and made my way down to the Great Hall. I sat beside Harry as they began talking about something. I wasn't really paying attention to them as my mind wandered. I began thinking about the announcement which made me nervous then as I looked around the room I realized just how many people we lost. 

" You okay?" Harry asked and I nodded smiling.

" Yeah just thinking," I said. He gave me an understanding look knowing what I meant before talking to Ron again. " Hey 'Mione want to go to the library till lunch?" I asked and she nodded. We left and went to the library, her reading our coursebooks and me reading actually interesting books so I won't die of boredom. When it was time for lunch I was so nervous and excited. After we ate and everyone other than the seventh years left it became just us and McGonagall. She stood up looking at us all with a sad expression.

" Now as I'm sure you've noticed there has been a great decrease in our population since last years incidents," She paused looking over at all of us with a sad look in her eyes. " I and many other teachers and ministry workers have tried to stop this but there's nothing we can do to stop this new law." New law? I looked over at my friends to see the same confused expression on their faces.

" Our population has decreased enough to where the- the marriage law has been enacted, I'm so sorry to all of you," She looked on the verge of tears as she stood in front of us, we all stood there in shock so she continued. " This affects all wizards and witches over the world and is between the ages of 17 and 35," No one dared speak hoping this was all some cruel prank. " The Ministry has made a love potion for you to see who your soulmate is, this has been proven to work. It is the drink in front of you and when you drink it your name will appear on this parchemn=ent paper along with your partners. If a name does not show up then I will have to submit your name where you will be put with other witches and wizards who also haven't," This really snapped people out of their trance as there were outraged kids yelling and couple wailing hoping to stay together. I looked over all the faces wondering who I'd get paired with. 

She waved her hand making the drinks appear. They were purple and smelled great, they smelled like apples and mint, also fresh air or like Quidditch, less sweating though way less. They bubbled a little bit. I looked beside me and to Hermione who looked nervous. I hope she and Ron are together, and Harry and Ginny. I took Hermione's hand in mine giving it a gentle squeeze. She looked over and smiled before picking her drink up. We clicked ours smiling nervously before drinking it all. It tasted sweet and I wanted to keep drinking it, they sure make a good love potion. 

" Does yours smell like apples?" I whispered to Hermione. She shook her head.

" Mine smells like freshly mown grass, new parchment & spearmint toothpaste," She said looking over to Ron and blushing slightly.

" Wait do you think it's like Amortia and what you smell is like a hint to who you're paired with?" I asked and she shrugged. I asked Ron and Harry what they smelt only farther confirming my suspicions since they smelled they're significant other. I sighed trying to figure out who I knew that smelt like apples, cologne and mint, also quidditch or fresh air I guess. I looked around the room as McGonagall stood up holding the parchment that would forever change our lives.
