Marriage Law | Draco Malfoy

３ . ᶠᵒʳᵍⁱᵛⁱⁿᵍ ᵃⁿᵈ ᶠᵒʳᵍᵉᵗᵗⁱⁿᵍ*

Delia woke up the next morning to the beautiful orange glow of the sunrise that bled through the lacy white curtains admiring it before she felt a pair of arms around her waist.
She blushed carefully moving his arms and getting up so she could get ready for the day.

She reminded herself she would have to hear about her new partner from her Gryffindor friends, she was dreading the reactions her fellow gryffindors would have.

She changed into a sweater her mum molly had made for her a few Christmas's ago, it was a maroon color with a large D for Delia in the center, and a pair of black leggings.

She quietly left the dorm and headed to the great hall for breakfast and the explanations she'd have to give them.

As soon as Delia walked in she saw ron looking at her worry plastering his face, she quickly sat down and layed her head on her twin brothers shoulder
"so hermione huh? Not much of a suprise there aye" Delia said smiling at him, as her small dimples rised onto her cheeks
"don't try and get out of this lia" ron said sternly. she closed her eyes frowning before opening them back up
"i didn't know I'd get malfoy ickle-ronnie-kins" she cooed pinching his cheeks as he slapped her hands away playfully, before smiling at her.
"just please let me know if he hurts you, i want nothing but for you to be happy" she smiled hugging ron as Harry, ginny, and hermione joined the two for breakfast "hows it with malfoy" hermione said worry lacing her tone

"i guess it hasn't gotten bad yet" delia thought about everything that had happened, and surprisingly he'd only said one rude thing to her. She'd expected him to go on for hours on how disappointed he was to have been partnered up with her for marriage but he had flirted with her instead, she had been in a flurry of shock all night but fell asleep quickly on the comfortable bed.

"We wish you luck" harry said grinning at delia "thank you guys, but i think he wants to talk or something because he's sort of staring me down" delia cringed slightly before waving goodbye too the trio and ginny as she walked over to Draco and sat next to him
"leaving me for potter are you" he said with irritation evident in his voice. She looked up at him confused
"malfoy, he's like a brother and engaged to my sister I'd rather not" delia said squinting at him mad that he'd even assume such a thing

"Whatever weasley"
"I'll be leaving" she said getting up
She walked away too their dorm, tears of frustration forming in her heterochromic eyes. She forced them too stay in, not wanting to be weak.
they felt like a million pricks jabbing her eyes. But she wouldn't, she couldn't cry over a stupid assumption some rich bully who she may be engaged too made.

She stated the password before plopping onto the couch hearing the door open again
but delia decided to just keep herself buried in the couch, she didn't look up or move a muscle.

"What the hell did you walk away for" he said frustrated
delia got up walking up to him and cornering him against the wall
"maybe because you assumed i left for Harry, god draco- you- you've bullied my family since first year! And now im bloody engaged too you and YOU'RE angry?!" She ranted venomously pointing her finger at him.

he looked down at her looking almost sorry, Delia's eyes quickly softened as she looked down to the ground
"And you know, i try to understand that you were raised to believe in blood purity, and without much affection..but you- you act like its all in the past and I'll just forget about it"
draco stood there, searching for the words to say but for once, he was rather speechless.
"Nothing to say? I wouldn't expect you to" Delia began walking away before he grabbed her wrist pulling the girl into a hug
"im sorry delia" he said softly
Delia melted into his embrace, his body pressed onto hers, his strong arms wrapping so protectively around her  waist.
"Im trying too be better" he whispered,  his voice cracking.
She looked up at him grabbing his shoulders and looks up at him for a moment, studying his face after a few moments she looked down and started to walk away, but he grasped her shoulders holding her in place
"Why dont we start over" he slowly suggested giving her a small smile  Delia looked at him nervously with flushed cheeks.

"Okay"

And they did, he apologized and she decided to forget, and or try to forget about the comments, though it wouldn't be easy. Though delia decided to try for the sake of the two's relationship and happiness.
