attention; this is a one-shot!

“Ron! Let's go down to the kitchens! I am starving, but I do not wish to face the school this evening.” I said to Ronald Weasley, my boyfriend.

“Bee, why are you so afraid to let the school see that pretty face of yours?” He asked me, smiling.

“It's not that. It's just…” Well, I guess I can tell him. “I was…supposed to be somewhere today, but I kinda…skipped out on it.” I said slowly.

“Really?” He asked me, “Where were you to go?”

“Ohh, no where, really.” I say, not looking him in the eye. “So, shall I call Harry and Hermione down too?” I asked, trying to change the subject.

Ron nodded and Hermione, Harry and Ginny followed us out the portrait whole and towards the kitchens. We were having a grand old time, laughing on our way to the kitchens, taking our time and talking about our time together. You see, we were to finish Hogwarts in two months time, all except for Ron's poor sister, Ginny.

“All I know is, I am to be an Auror, nothing else.” I said, so sure of myself.

Harry smiled. “Ahh, I am too. I think it'd be something we are good at.” He said to me.

“Oh, lord! I'm never going to get rid of you, am i?” I joked. Everyone laughed, including Harry. I wouldn't have said that if I knew what was to happen to change my life.

Harry tickled the pear on the portrait to enter the kitchens. House elves everywhere, preparing for dinner.

“Dobby.” Harry said to this one house elf, who has probably had his brain kicked around before, “Can you get us some pumpkin juice, and maybe some meat.” He asked. Dobby nodded and quickly left them.

I remember standing beside Ron, leaning my head on his chest, his arm around my waist, and thinking that everything could only get better. Oh how I was oh so wrong.

“You know, Hermione. You could be a Muggle lawyer,” I suggest. “But you could bring S.P.E.W to the next level, and work on it part time for the wizarding world.”

Hermione looks up and her eyes almost glazed over in the happiness. She was thinking hard. “Oh, I would love that! I would be so happy helping these poor little elves who are mistreated every day! I could change something! I could make a difference.” She said, smiling.

“Okay there, Granger. Calm down.” Ron had said. I look up at him and smile. She reaches his head down to kiss me, for I am a little bit shorter than him. I remember our lips so close, I could feel the warmth coming from him. He came closer, his lips almost touching mine when the portrait of the fruit bowl swung open.

I turned around in shock at what I had seen next.

There were my parents. Lrycoris, my mum, and Cygnus, my father. My father was trying to keep up with my mothers fast pace, but my mum was coming at me so fast, his black robe billowing behind her, her white blonde hair fluttering behind her as well. I looked at them both in confusion, wondering why my mother was so upset when it hit me-

“How could you do this?” She yelled at me. I grabbed onto Ron tightly and his arms wrapped around me protectively. “Disgrace! You have shown no respect for us! For your grandfather's choices!”

I remember taking a step back as she got closer, everyone frozen around me.

“Mum, listen-“

“You have made him so angry! You have to be punished!” she bellowed. I looked at her, and then at my father. He was being a coward! All he was doing was standing slightly behind her shaking a little and looking around, anywhere but me. Oh how I could've hit him.

“Mum!” I said. “Listen! I didn't want to go! You and Grandpa have to stop making my choices! I have my own life!” I yelled defensively back.

“In this family, Grandfather makes all the choices! All the moves! Everything in your life has been planned years in advanced, you foolish little girl! Your Grandfather instructed you to be there, at the mansion for the ceremony, but were you? NO!” she was standing so close to me, I could smell her bad breath, and the steam almost coming out of her ears.

“I was not going to marry Draco Malfoy!” I yelled at her.

“Oh, yes you are! It has been agreed! Your choices have been made! You are to marry the Malfoy boy! The Malfoy's and us are to be one! Grandfather says it, so shall it be done!”

“But I love Ron!” I shrieked. I looked at Ron and he was looking back at me in shock. Then at my mother, then Harry. I wondered what was going on. I look at Ginny and Hermione. They have their hands over their mouths in shock., but Harry, he looks shocked too, breathing hard, but I look at him and he is looking at my mom and it clicks.

“Mum,” I said. “Speak English!” I instructed her. I realized it wouldn't make any difference; Harry understood it, and it was a bad choice on my part to have said that to my mother. Now, I realize that it may have not been such a bad idea for Grandfather to make my decisions for me.

“HOW DARE YOU INSTRUCT ME TO DO SOMETHING! LET ALONE TELL ME NOT TO SPEAK MY NATIVE LANGUAGE! ARE YOU ASHAMED, BIANCA?” She demands and I nod my head in despair.

“But I love Ron! Grandfather can't tell me who to love! It doesn't work like that!”

“Who said it had anything to do about love?”

“A betrothal is an act of love! I do not love Draco Malfoy!” I yell. “Grandfather can't make me do anything! I love Ron and if I'm to marry anyone, it is him!”I yell. I looked foolishly at Ron for reassurance, but he has moved to whisper to Harry. “I hate this family!”

“You are to carry on your life with Draco Malfoy, nothing you can do to stop it!” She yelled at me.

“How can he be so sure about trying to take over my life?” I asked. “How can he try and take control over me, with Godric Gryffindor in my blood?”

“Oh, foolish little girl, don't you realize? You are a straight descendant of Salazar Slytherin as well!” And I cannot get that horrible sound out of my head, it is embedded there, for as long as I live. She shrieked so loud with laughter, I thought she had damaged my ears.

I looked at my father, I wanted to scream 'How could you marry such a witch? You brought so much trouble upon your family!' How he mixed blood with Slytherin.

“You are to stay away from the little Weasley filth.” My mother had said to me, after she finished her laugh.

“They are not filth!” I yelled. “They are like a family to me!”

“Well, your new family is the Malfoy's. the Dark Lord-”

“Oh, just say his name!” I yelled foolishly. “Say it! Voldemort!”

My mother turned pale, more so than she already was. “How dare your filthy little Weasley loving mouth speak of him like that! Speak of your Grandfather nicely, little one! For he can make your life a living hell!” She added before she grabbed my arm. She dragged me to the door. I tried to pull away but it was no use. I look back and everyone is staring at me like I'm crazy, like I'm the granddaughter of Tom Riddle

I tried once more to pull away, so I could explain to them, to tell Ron it shouldn't matter, as long as he loved me. I pulled away. “I am not to marry Draco Malfoy! I'm staying here! Voldemort had better stop-” But I could not finish my sentence.

“Crucio!” My mother yelled, he wand pointing at my heart. She knew that she could not kill me, because it is not what my Grandfather wanted, but I was hurt terribly.

I cried out in pain, my arms and legs being pulled this way and that, my back arching in pain and my whole body throbbing, my bones breaking and skin cracking. I remember feeling blood trickle down my face and my old wounds re opening. I fell to the floor and my mother said one last thing;

“In this family, you do not live your own life. Everything since birth has been planned, nothing has been your own bidding. Remember, child, who you really are.” And she turned on her heel, grabbing my father as well, rushing out of the room.

I laid on the ground twitching, knowing I would not die. I couldn't look at anyone around me. In fact, I remember the loneliness for no one helped me up. I was twitching, my body shaking, blood pooled around me, stains on my clothes, and all I remember was Harry whispering to the others what had been said, because Harry understood every word exchanged, he could speak Parseltongue.

There was silence as a single tear ran down my face and Ron walked out of the room, not even a glance towards me to check if I was alright. The rest followed soon after.

I hadn't spoken to them since. Right now, as I sit on my chair overlooking the lake behind my home, watching my little blonde haired blue eyed children running around screaming in delight and playing on little brooms, I realize that I was meant to be with Draco Malfoy. I may not have loved him from the beginning as he loved me, but I have grown on him, and I respect him dearly now, and I do love him. I look back on what I had with Ron and remembered I thought that that was real love, but if he really loved me, he wouldn't have walked away on me, he would have told me he loved me no matter what.

I turn around in my chair and see my dearest husband sleeping peacefully, sprawled out on the bed, comforter askew, and realize that our marriage may have been the one thing that my Grandfather did right for me, but then I push the thought from my head, being silly. Tom Riddle only does things for himself.
