"I hate you, Malfoy," Aurora Carlton fumed, glaring at her sworn enemy.
"Not as much as I hate you, Gryffindor," Draco smirked, his grey eyes burning into her hazel-brown ones.
Aurora Carlton and Draco Malfoy were known for being enemies. She hated him, and Malfoy hated her. However, it wasn't always like this. Draco and Aurora had met each other when they were ten, through their families. Before Hogwarts, Aurora could have sworn that Draco's as an angel. But the second she saw how prejudiced he was towards Muggleborns and half-bloods, Aurora never talked to him again. Draco was hurt, but didn't let it show, masking his heartbreak with cruel words and taunts directed at her and her friends.
However, little did they know that their parents were oblivious to their hatred, and, soon after they met, drew up a marriage contract between the two families, to ensure each other's safety in case You-Know-Who would ever return.
When Aurora and Draco figured this out, they demand from their parents to revoke their marriage. However, due to the contract being based on centuries-old magic, they are forced to abide it, or they will die. Can Aurora and Draco change their hate into love?
