Love is a Battlefield (COMPLETE)

That was two years ago now I am seventeen having turned it over the school holidays, I had stayed good friends with the golden trio as well as Draco. It was in my sixth year he discovered I was a muggleborn yet it did not stop us from being friends. I lived in the Slytherin dorms bunking with Pansy and Millicent. The whole of Hogwarts now knew that I was not from this world it had come out not long after I had started there. Albus had made me a member of the order, it had also gotten a few other people’s interests one mainly being Voldermort. The fact that I could do wand less magic as well as stop people from reading my mind was an interesting fact for all. Then the Ministry of Magic decided to bring in a new law, the wizard world was suffering a huge blow when it came to magical children. More and more squibs were being born so it was going to take drastic measures. Every witch or wizard over the age of eighteen that was muggleborn was expected to marry a pureblood. Hermione and I both thought ourselves safe that was until this morning. I was sitting talking to Draco when the morning post arrived, everyone looked up in fear. This was how you knew if you were picked for the law. A large black owl dropped a fancy red letter in front of me, Draco hissed as we both noticed the Ministry seal on it. “Your not eighteen yet Kel why are you getting a letter?” How wrong you are Draco, I thought as I opened the letter and read my news.

Dear Miss Nightshade,
Due to the fact that you are not originally from this world, that you are indeed not seventeen but in fact twenty-four you are expected to follow our new law. Your name has been placed in the bride book and you can expect petitions starting from now.
Sincerely
MOM

Looking over at Hermione I noticed she herself had gotten a letter to, I knew straight away why her use of the time turner in year three had added onto her age. Suddenly another three owls flew down dropping letters in front of me. Looking at Draco in dread I opened the first one. It was a petition for marriage from a guy called Marcus Flint; I knew he was the old captain of the Slytherin team. Turning my nose up I decide to open a very official looking one, my shock must of read on my face as I read it making Draco take it out of my hand reading it.
It was a petition from Lucius Malfoy, his own father. Looking up at me Draco gave me a reassuring smile. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t notice Hermione had gotten a few petitions until Severus had suddenly came over grabbing us both and taking us to the headmasters office.


“I guess you both know why I have asked Severus to bring you to me,” Albus for once wasn’t smiling. “Yeah I do because of this stupid war and how Hermione and I are both going to be petitioned well I have already by bloody Lucius Malfoy!” I was angry. “Yes and I believe Hermione has been petitioned by non other then both Crabbe and Goyle.” Albus was giving her a reassuring look; “Voldermort would want you both married off to death eaters so he would be able to control two of the most powerful witches in Britain.” I nodded my head watching Severus as he looked at us with shielded eyes. “Fact being though Miss Nightshade is I can only save one of you, I need the other to marry into Voldermort\'s circle as Severus can only do so many things as our spy.” Looking at Hermione I thought it would be best if maybe I took Lucius up on his offer, there was no way she would be able to handle a full-blown death eater.

“I will accept Lucius, who will you get Hermione to marry?” Severus looked up in shock at my offer. “Well she must marry a death eater so I think it would be best if it was Severus as he is in the order as well.” Both Hermione and I nodded, taking the petition from Lucius out I signed my name to it watching as it vanished. “When will the wedding be held?” Hermione had finally found her voice.

“Tonight Hermione,” Severus tried his best to smile at her making it look more like a sneer. “Ok I guess I will go get ready,” Hermione quickly signed her name to the parchment Albus gave her before leaving the office. Severus looked me over I guess waiting for me to explode. “I guess I will go back to the dorm and wait from a reply from my soon to be husband.” Turning I Left walking down to the dungeons and into the Slytherin common room. Draco was waiting for me, being that he and I were both head boy and girl we shared a room. Once we were alone I let him know I had accepted his father’s offer. “Why Kellie I would have married you,” silly boy I thought. “Draco you are not eighteen for another six months I had to give an answer within a month or I would just have to marry who the ministry chose which would have been your father anyways.” Walking to my room I stopped looking at him, “I am going to lay down for awhile I will talk to you later.” Lying on my bed I looked up at the roof wondering what new things would be happening to me.

By the time awoke it was time for dinner; walking down to the great hall I looked over to a very grim Harry and Ron with Hermione. All three nodded in my direction I knew she would of told them about my choice. Taking my seat next to Draco I lost myself in the conversations around me only looking up when I heard the great hall doors open. Standing in them looking directly at me was Lucius Malfoy, arrogant prat I thought as he gave a smile and nod to Severus. Walking up to me he bent low telling me he wished to speak to me privately, looking at Albus I stood as he nodded his consent. Walking with my head held tall I ignored the whispers going threw the hall as my soon to be husband led me out into the hallway continuing till we were at the dungeons. Saying my password I led him into Draco and my main Room. Turing Lucius lowered himself to a couch indicating for me to join him. “The first time I saw you Kellie I thought here is a woman who would match my family well, originally I was going to make a contract between you and Draco but when my wife passed on and this law was made I decided to make you my own. You have made me very happy by accepting and I would like to be married as soon as possible.” Nodding I agreed but first I had to clear a few things up. “When we are married Lucius will I still be able to come to school?” He nodded so I continued.

“Also I am guessing I will be living with you at Malfoy Manor and at some point we will have to consummate this marriage all I wish to let you know is I am not a virgin by any means well at least in my own world I wasn’t so I am hoping that is something that stayed the same.” Again Lucius nodded, I knew he would have no problem with having an experienced wife. “Also I will not put up with any form of adultery I would not commit it myself and I would expect the same of you and if you are wishing to marry straight away I can organise it for tonight as another student is getting married to.” I did not know if he knew about Severus and Hermione. “Well Kellie that is why I am here, I was informed by Albus that he was performing a ceremony tonight and if I would care to have you and I married at the same time so I agreed.” Bloody sneaky bastard I thought, contemplating a few ways to take the twinkle out of the head masters eyes. “So then I will see you at midnight then,” Standing Lucius bent low kissing my hand leaving me alone and wondering about our soon to be life together. Deciding I had to see if Hermione needed help I left walking up to the Griyffendore common room. Smiling at the fat lady I said the password as being head girl I was allowed access to all rooms. Finding Hermione in her room looking down at a white dress I smiled trying to find the words to comfort her. “It will be all good Mione, Severus is a kind man really and he will look after you keeping you safe.” The poor girl looked ready to faint, taking her into a hug I allowed her to cry out all her fears.

A clock chimed telling us it was eleven time to get ready, a house elf appeared holding a jade green gown out to me. Taking it I noticed the symbol of a snake on the bust, smiling I knew it was a gift from Severus. We had become fairly close over the last two years and he was constantly bestowing gifts on me. With a wave of my hand I had the dress on and my hair out in waves. The black stood out more whenever I was dressing in green. Noticing Hermione wasn’t moving I waved my wand and she stood dressed and ready allowing me to lead her out of the room and up to the head masters office where our new husbands waited.
