Draco,after a hard day's work apparated home.He appeared near the fire place.Binx was tending the fire.

"Oh master!Madam was waiting for you in the dining with a lady"binx spat the last word.

Draco smiled.He made his way to his room without anyone noticing.While he was changing ,someone knocked the door.

In came a beautiful lady with the grace of a swan.Her old age never bothered her lady like behaviour.Her stern eyes told Draco all he needed.

"Mother,got a bit held up.What is the matter?"

"Dress up decently and come down for dinner.We have a lady for company." Narcissa left with these words.

Draco did not like the sound of it.His mother had been trying to make him get intrested in a girl.

Ironically,his mother had to pull him away in the bars from bartenders and get a earful from the parents on whose girls Draco had played with.

That was during his teens.

He got dressed in a suit and white tux.He gelled his hair and went down.He knew that he was anyway going to reject the girl his mother had seen.

He could never see a girl in the place of Astoria.

But her last wish ringed in his ears.She wanted him to get married.But he just couldn't.

He reached the dining and saw his mother speaking to a lady.

No doubt she was beautiful.

She wore a formal green floor length gown with a silver lace.

Soo slytherin thought Draco.

Her brown straight hair was up in a bun with an emerald studded clip.

Binx kept the glass of water near her and moved carefully not to touch her.He had a frown of disgust on his face.

My own elf does not like the girl thought Draco and chuckled as he sat near his mother who sat at the head of the long table.

Where Voldemort Sat during the death eaters meeting.

The thought troubled Draco no more.

He gave a formal smile at the lady and his mother.

"Draco,meet Ms Clara Mortsan. The daughter of my best friend Mrs Roselle Mortsan.

Draco smiled.What else could he do?

Well,he did want to smack the drooling grin off Clara's face that had been plastered from the time of his arrival.

While his mother went on and on about how she met Clara and how she was,Draco tried to nod once in a while though the information hardly registered.

A long pause made him realise his mother had finished.He looked into the some what cold green eyes of Clara and smiled.

"My mother has said very highly of you Ms mortsan.That is really great."He said in the monotonous voice.

Clara blushed.

"Thank you Mr Malfoy.Mrs Narcissa has spoken a lot about you too.I was awed"

Draco smiled,feeling really uncomfortable by the heavy flirting accent of the lady.

"You both are really getting along very well!"commented Narcissa.

Draco tried not to puke. Getting along? Thought Draco.It had been less than an hour he had met this lady and his mother decided they were getting along?

They had barely spoken.

As if she had heard his mind voice,Narcissa got up.

"I have an important message to send.Excuse me"

She left both alone,winking at Draco.

What is she?The wife of a spooky late death eater or a matchmaker? Thought Draco.

He shifted in his chair.The silence was reassuring.

"Um..so...you went to Hogwarts?"said a sweet honey like voice..of Clara.

"Well,yes.You didn't?"He asked ,mentally kicking him.

You would have already flirted and had a day with her if she had attended Hogwarts.Which pretty girl did you ever leave?

His mind voice was so right.

"No.I went to Beubaxtions.I came here a year ago.With my mom"

"Oh.."was all Draco could mutter.Something told Draco that her voice was very familiar.

"Um..have I met you somewhere?"asked Draco,politely.

"No.You couldn't have.I'm new here."She said.

Then both are their deserts in silence.

Narcissa returned.She smiled and sat as her desert appeared.She ate,grinning.

"What a nice pair you both make?!You look like made for each other."

Draco pit his spoon down and it echoed louder in the empty house.

Clara looked equally shocked.

"Mother.This is something we must discuss and then take decision.I really think Ms Mortsan would agree with this."

He looked at Clara for help.She nodded wide eyed.

"Draco,the only things we have to discuss is the date and venue of the engagement and marriage"

Draco got up from his chair and so did Clara,both shocked.Narcissa stood gracefully.

"Yes.Roselle is more than happy with this alliance.And so am I.Then what is the need to discuss more?"

Draco was aghast.

"Um..Mrs Narcissa.I think we are rushing things up a bit.Maybe we should discuss a bit more and then..."

Draco nodded wildly.

There was silence in the room that was soon broken by the wailings of a child.

"Tinx"said Draco and nothing happened."Where is Tinx?"asked Narcissa.Then it struck Draco.

"Binx"

The elf came in his apron. "Go check on Scorpius"

The elf vanished.All the three stood stunned.

"Mom,I really need to think this over.I am so sorry.And Ms Mortsan,I am really sorry.Just..give me some time"

I do not want to marry anyone.Leave me and my son alone.

That was what he wanted to shout.But he managed his emotions and left upstairs to his room.

He out a silencing charm,bolted the door and removed his clothes.He slept with a splitting headache and with only his trousers.

Just imagine!!Draco with only his trousers!!
OMG!!

AHEM..Coming back to the point..
