First Meeting
The first time Draconis Malfoy met Jaydin Shari a month into his Introduction and the Season, he knew he was in trouble. Never before had Draconis seen anyone like Jaydin. His beauty was unrivaled. Draconis had not expected to meet with someone so compatible to him so early in his life. Of course, he was already Promised to Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson, but they were more brethren then potential spouses. Draconis met Jaydin the first time at the first Malfoy ball, it was his job to observe the proceedings for in a month it would be his actual Introduction Party.
The opulence of Malfoy Manor was blinding. Everyone knew as soon as they entered the Manor that the family that owned it commanded respect and those that did not give it to them would be dealt with swiftly. It was the summer and the Court was in session. The heirs of the Lords and Ladies of the court were in many respects joining the Blessed Game for the first time. The Lords, Ladies, and Heirs were dressed in their most resplendent robes especially because they were in the house of the Highest Lord of Court, the Duke Malfoy. The Duke Lucius Malfoy, his wife, the Duchess Narcissa Malfoy del Black, and his Heir-in-all-things Marquess Draconis Malfoy were illustrating why their family was the Highest Family of the Court.
This was how the court was run, the Duchy Malfoys and the highest families observing the lower houses and creating political change with a breath and a few words. Then at the entrance three children appeared. They were not accompanied by their parents as heirs were nor were they with retainers as lesser or foreign heirs were.
The child in the front was the smallest. He had luminescent emerald eyes that unconsciously said that he was innocent. His hair was the deepest of blacks and fell to his hips. His face was veiled from below his eyes down to his upper chest. He was thin, almost painfully so, and was wearing a black robe with a high collar that clung to his body with emerald and silver embroidery. There was a girl accompanying him. She had brown hair that was braided about her head as if a crown. She was slender but well shaped; she also wore a robe of black in a similar style as the previous boy but had purple and red embroidery. The strangest thing about her was her eyes as one eye was purple and the other eye was black. The final member of their party was a tall boy with flaming red hair that had white highlights. He was slender but also strong, he, unlike his companions, was wearing a silver robe with gold and black embroidery. His eyes were blue but had amber specks in them. The three children were beautiful like any other pureblood heir. They walked down the central stairway and met with Duke Malfoy.
The tallest boy began to speak, “Greeting and blessing to you and your house Lord Malfoy, highest member of the Court acknowledged, Lord of Those of Blessed Name. I and Mine greet you in the name of the Darkness and Light for without there would be no balance and therefore no magic. I am called Lord Lyon Fergall, my companions are the Lady Ravryn Garanti del Litfay and the Lord Jaydin Shari. May your life always be blessed with starlight and shadow.” With those mostly ceremonial words, the three companions went to an empty table and sat down.
Lucius was shocked there were not many children who knew the proper way to address a Lord much less the highest Duke alive; children learned that from their parents during their sessions at the Court. He knew that they were not children of foreign Lords as they sounded English but he did not know who they could be. Lucius turned to his companion Severus Snape and asked, “Do you know who those children are Severus?”
“No I do not believe I do. Their names sound familiar though.” Severus responded.
“Yes, their last names remind me of something long past.” Lucius said.
They watched as the Lyon child left and begun to make rounds while Ravryn and Jaydin stayed at the table. Draconis who was holding a Mirror Court with the heirs saw Jaydin and Ravryn and was intrigued. There were not many heirs that he did not know as his parents had been taking him to Court functions since he was six, an extremely early age even for Those of Blessed Name. Draconis excused himself and went over to Jaydin’s table. He stood in front of Jaydin and said, “Greeting from the Darkness and Light. I am Draconis Malfoy, heir of the Malfoy line. May I be blessed to learn your name?”
Jaydin giggled with his hand in front of his mouth and replied in a melodic voice, “Greetings from the Shadows and Starlight, Marquess Malfoy. I am called Lord Jaydin Shari and my companions are Lord Lyon Malsoul and Lady Ravryn Garanti del Litfay.”
Draconis smiled gently and replied, “I am blessed by the gods to learn your name Lord Shari and I greet you Lady Garanti del Litfay and hope you are blessed as I have been. If I may be so bold Lord Shari please just call me Draconis.”
Jaydin peered up at him and stated coyly, “I shall call you Draconis if you call me Jaydin.”
“It would be my honor Jaydin. If you allow me more boldness may I ask you for this dance.” Draconis replied.
“Jaydin!” A sharp voice stated. Lyon had returned and was most displeased to see Draconis in Jaydin presence.
Draconis stiffened and said coldly, “I apologize Lord Shari, I did not realize that you were Promised to another, I shall take my leave.”
Jaydin glanced sharply at Lyon and said to Draconis softly, “I am Promised to no one Draconis, I would be honored to dance with you.”
Draconis grinned and held out his hand. Jaydin took it delicately and was led to the dance floor. They danced for several songs. Draconis was enamored; you could see it in his eyes, in the way he held Jaydin like he was the most delicate of glass figurines. Several women in the room were instantly jealous not of Draconis’ affections, he was only eleven soon to be twelve after all, but of the way he treated Jaydin. There were of course members of the Mirror Court that had wished to hold Draconis’ affections and felt slighted by this nobody but most were in awe of how beautiful the couple looked together. Even if they were both children, they were beautiful children and were striking together.
There were two groups that were extremely unhappy though. Duke Malfoy and Marquess Snape were observing the couple and were most displeased. They knew nothing of the child’s family and did not want Draconis interacting with Jaydin and his ilk until they knew more. Duke Malfoy and Marquess Snape saw Jaydin companions and they also did not look pleased and were whispering furiously to each other. Both Draconis and Jaydin were completely oblivious to the happenings around them, after several songs they returned to Jaydin’s table and Ravryn rose, “I need to make my rounds now Jaydin, I shall return shortly.”
Jaydin said, “Do not worry dear Ravryn, Lyon and Draconis are here, I am fine.”
Ravryn nodded and left and soon Draconis and Harry began to speak.
“Jaydin you said that you were called Lord Jaydin Shari, does that mean that you are a Lord not an Heir? Is Jaydin your true name?”
Lyon hissed but Jaydin just spared him a sharp glance and Lyon was silent.
“You are very bold Draconis, but I find that is pleasing. Yes, I am a Lord, Draconis. Jaydin is not my true name nor my true persona or should I say that who I am now is my true persona and what I want my name to be but the world we live in forces me to take another name and behave differently. I find that you would probably most dislike the person I am when I am not Jaydin.”
“I apologize for my boldness but I must know. This is who you are though, Jaydin? The persona that you adopt while outside of here is false?”
“Yes, Draconis, I much prefer who I am now, it is much more comfortable.”
While they had this exchange Ravryn had returned and Lyon had left.
“If you excuse my boldness, Jaydin, but you are obviously submissive but you do not appear to be so before Lord Fergall or Lady Garanti del Litfay.”
Jaydin giggled into his hand, “my, you are quite bold aren’t you, but I would expect that of you Draconis, heir of the highest lord of the Court.”
“If I may interrupt Jaydin,” Ravryn asked. Jaydin stared at her carefully and nodded. “Jaydin is our Lord and our leader. The three of us work together to keep our names both hidden and well-managed. Jaydin may submit to you in the household behind closed doors or in interactions that call for it but he is our leader and we obey him and if you cannot stand it then leave Jaydin alone.”
Jaydin shook his head and laughed, “I am sorry Draconis for that impassioned speech but Ravryn and Lyon are very protective of me. She is correct though. I am the last of my line, both here and in the outside world, I have been forced to make decisions and do things most submissives would not have had to. Maybe if I had been raised submissive in all things I would be able to cede control to someone outside of the household as well, but I cannot nor do I think I can ever do so.”
Draconis smiled and said, “I am glad that you have the strength to take control of your line. I admire your strength. I know it is very difficult for natural submissives to play the Blessed Game especially in front of so many dominants. I know we are just children and are a long way off from any informal interaction but I will be pleased to take away some of that burden when it is time.”
Jaydin’s eyes lit up brilliantly. Even though one could not see his face, Draconis knew that he was beaming. Jaydin hugged him tightly and whispered into his ear, “thank you Draconis, you do not know what that means to me.”
Draconis grinned and just said, “May I have another dance, dear Jaydin?”
Jaydin giggled and was led to the dance floor. They danced for the rest of the night. Jaydin, Lyon, and Ravryn committed to the next ball and left. Draconis watched them leave with a look of longing on his face. Lucius saw the look and swore that he would have the entire family history of Jaydin Shari and his companions by the next ball.

Jaydin:
I was so please to meet you at the First Malfoy Ball. You were very pleasant and I look forward to conversing with you again. I wished to say that I did mean what I said; when I stated that I wanted to take some of the burden of being Dominant when it is time. I do not know why I am so beholden to you but I am. There is something about you that fascinates me. I know that it is inappropriate, considering both our ages, social stations, and other contributing factors but I am finding it hard to care.
My father has indicated his displeasure at your presence. I think that he believes that you are a siren sent to seduce me and my fortune away. I think he is being melodramatic but what can you do?
I look forward to further correspondence with you dear Jaydin.

Draconis:
Thank you for contacting me. Your letter made me so happy. Whilst I cannot tell you much about my life for a variety of reasons, some of which I may relate to you at a later date. It is hard to be happy when I am not amongst Lyon and Ravryn. By sending me your letter, you gave me a ray of light in the darkness that is my life here.
I acknowledge that our potential relations are inappropriate at this time. I am sure that you are Promised to at least one person. I happen not to be Promised to any one for as I told you previously I am the last of my line so my parents did not make any provisions to be Promised. Or at least I do not think they did, my guardian has not let me see the will.
Your father shall find nothing if he looks into my fellows or myself. We have hidden everything well. If you or your father have any questions for me or mine then he is always free to ask.
I too look forward to conversing further.

Jaydin:
I am sorry that you feel sad when you are not amongst Ravryn or Lyon. It is my hope that you continue to look to me for happiness and hope when your fellows are unavailable.
I find myself pleased that you are not Promised to another as it means that I can speak to you without competing with another’s attentions. I am completely willing to take any potential relationship slowly. I respect you, Jaydin, both as a Lord of the Court and as yourself. I do not see you as a conquest, any relationship that we may have shall be built with trust and affection, even if that relationship only leads to simple friendship.
Thank you for all the information that you have given me. I know that you did not have to. I would like to ask for you to attend the Second Malfoy Ball, which will take place in two weeks time. It shall be my Introduction Party.
May the Gods smile down upon you Jaydin.
