    Summary

    "The magic demands a sacrifice," Malfoy said.

    "What kind of sacrifice?"

    Malfoy's mouth twisted grimly. "A virgin."

    Harry felt his eyes widen. "Killing one?"

    "No, of course not, Potter," Malfoy snapped. "Don't be macabre. Fucking one." Malfoy exhaled with bitter disappointment. "Fuck. Rules us out."

    Harry took a deep breath. His face felt hotter than ever. "It doesn't, actually."

    Harry's had some terrible birthdays in his life. But this one - trapped in a cave with Draco Malfoy, and only one way out - has to take the cake.

    Summary

    “It could be a scar - stretched tight. Draco, come here, look properly!” Lucius reached back and caught his wrist; he was so close to Potter that even in the darkness, he was able to see the other’s familiar green eyes, “What do you think?”
    Draco rocked back onto his heels, “I don’t know,”
    His attempt to back away was halted by his father’s hand on his shoulder, “Look again, Draco,” Lucius hissed in his ear, “Look again,”
    Fear spiked in Draco’s gut. He looked into green eyes, and this time he saw resignation. Potter knew that his courage had failed even before Draco did.
    Draco took a shuddering breath, and whispered, “It’s him.”

    Draco awoke on the fifth on April at the beginning of the Easter holidays of his final year at Hogwarts not knowing that today would be important. Not knowing that today, Harry Potter, undesirable number one himself, would be dragged to the Manor’s front doorstep, and bring with him the pain of Draco’s greatest mistake.
    Draco awoke on the firth of April. Draco awoke on the fifth of April again. And again. And again.

    Summary

    “Ugh,” Harry’s stomach grumbled, “Do you serve food?”

    Her expression turned immediately apologetic, “We do, but unfortunately reservations are required,”

    “Potter? Is that you?” Harry turned to look over his shoulder and froze.

    Approaching him, a polite frown on his brow, was Draco Malfoy.

    He’d always stood a few inches taller than Harry, but he suddenly seemed exceptionally tall and regal in his baby pink, velvet suit jacket, his smart black trousers and his crisp white shirt and matching white bow tie. His hair, though cut short at the sides and around the back, was longer and coifed back stylishly at the top. Did he… did he find Malfoy attractive?

    Oh. Oh, Merlin no.

    Harry would never have believed the difference that just one long weekend could make.

    Summary

    Pansy bit her lip, “Look, I… I’ve been speaking to Hermione -,”

    “Granger?!” Draco spluttered.

    “Weasley-Granger,” she reminded him, “And no, I don’t mean her, she’s already married remember,”

    “Then who?!”

    Pansy grimaced a little, and said shortly, “Potter,”

    The silence between them was palpable.

    “Potter,” Draco said slowly, “You want me… to marry Harry Potter,”

    Draco had given up on love officially - he was done with it in fact. Three broken engagements later and all it had brought him was heartache and pain, and he’d had enough. But if he wanted to have any chance of exonerating his family name in the eyes of Wizarding Britain, he needed to get married (despite what Pansy said to the contrary) and preferably sooner rather than later. A political match was just what he needed. A match with no expectation of love.

    That’s what he’d planned for, at least.
