"I take you, Draco Malfoy, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part." Since the time we were children, being betrothed to the Malfoy heir was every pure-blood girls dream. They spun around him at ball's, spoke about him behind closed doors, and stared at him during classes. That is, every pure-blood girl, except for me. So naturally, I had to be the fan favorite of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. I had to be the one who they saw fit for the boy I hated most of all: him. The Malfoy heir. And I was determined to do everything I could to stop a wedding from happening, to stop myself from being resigned to a life at his side. Until, of course, I began to fall for him too. - - - - - Fifth year, Hogwarts. Pure-blood Slytherin OC! There are TW at the beginnings of chapters that include any mature themes.
