Revolution Song

The Second Malfoy Ball had arrived. Draconis was waiting impatiently for Jaydin’s arrival.

“Calm down, Draconis,” Lucius drawled.

“I apologize father, but I have not seen Jaydin in a month.”

“I know Draconis, but showing your impatience is not proper behavior.”

“Yes, father…” Draco trailed off, Jaydin and his companions had appeared at the entrance.

He was lovely as always. He was wearing a tight white robe with gold embroidery. It was cut so that there was a wide slit from above his bellybutton to his feet. He was wearing white pants as well and you could see that his shirt was also white and went down right above his thighs. His veil was gold with white embroidery. The white clothing made his emerald eyes even brighter and gave him an aura of innocence. Lucius instantly realized why Draco was so impatient to see Lord Shari. Lord Shari was beautiful; he brought the eyes of everyone in the room to him. His innocence was entrapping.

The Lady Granti del Litfay was wearing a purple robe with black embroidery, her veil was also purple. The Lord Fergall was wearing a red robe with gold embroidery.

They were beautiful. There was something about them that complimented each other. They approached Lord Malfoy first as was proper, as the Malfoys were the highest family present.

“Greetings from Starlight and Shadow, Duke Malfoy. I greet you in the name of my companions and me. I trust that you are well on this blessed day of the gathering of the families.” Lyon said.

“Greetings from the Darkness and the Light, Lord Fergall. I am indeed well. The gathering of the Court is always a beautiful event.” Lucius responded.

“We congratulate you on your Introduction, Lord Draconis. May you accept these gifts as a congratulations and a symbol of our affections for you,” Lyon said, while handing three packages to the nearest house elf.

“I thank you and accept your gifts. I am blessed by your attendance to my Introduction and welcome you to my home,” Draco acknowledged gracefully.

Ravryn said, “May I have your attentions Draconis?”

Draconis nodded and took Ravryn’s hand and they twirled around the dance floor.

Jaydin and Lyon both looked at their respective partners with a fond look on their face. Jaydin turned to Lucius. “Duke Malfoy, may I speak to you candidly?”

“You may, Lord Shari.”

“I do not appreciate what you said to Draconis,” Jaydin began.

“I believe that you do not have the right to tell me how to raise my son.”

“I am not trying to tell you how to raise Draco but I do not appreciate you investigating me, nor do I appreciate you telling Draco to end his dalliance with me, as I believe you called it.”

“No one knows anything about you; I trust that you realize that I only want what is best for my son?”

“I know that I am hiding things from you, but it is necessary.”

“How is it necessary? All I see is that you are trying to fool my son.”

“I am keeping him safe!” Jaydin exclaimed.

“Keeping him safe from what?”

“From my past. I am as enamored with Draco as he is with me. I like how I am now. I know, and yes I do know, that Draco would not like who I am when I am not Jaydin, even though I am technically the same person.”

“Then you are lying to him! You are trying to deceive my child for your own personal benefit.”

“No! I feel great affection for Draconis and that affection forces me to lie to him. I do not want him to judge me based off of my name. I am not who people think I am, nor are Ravryn and Lyon who people think they are.”

“That does not matter. Draconis deserves to be free from your lies and from your deception. I will not allow you to break my son’s heart.”

“I have no desire to hurt Draconis. I only want what is best for him, and while I may not be what is best for him I have his best interests at heart. I know that I am being selfish, and I am sorry, but I need to do this.”

“I desire only what is best for my child and you will only destroy him. I know nothing of your political affiliations or your bloodline.”

“I would never consciously hurt him. My political affiliations are none of your business, and to a certain extent they are not developed. I am the heir of the Shari line, and others. That is all that you need to know. We are but children, and because we are children, our alliances and affections may shift. If Draconis decides that I no longer hold his affection then I will accept his decision but until then I will hold his affection with both hands. I refuse to let go. I feel for him and because of that, I refuse to stop corresponding with him. I know that you only want what is best for him, which is why I requested that he apologize to you, but I hold his affection. You denying me that is unacceptable and I will not allow it.”

“You think that you hold more sway over Draconis then I do? He is my son. If I forbid him from speaking to you then he will. As you said you are but children. I know what is best for Draconis and I will continue to hold his best interests. I will not allow you to destroy my son or steal my fortune.”

“Haven’t you realized that to a certain extent he is rebelling against you? By forbidding him from speaking to me, you are furthering his rebellion. By allowing him to speak to me, he will decide for himself if he feels affection for me. He will learn from any potential mistakes. If he is hurt from this then he will learn from it. You cannot shield him forever. He is the heir to one of the greatest names of the wizarding world, he needs to learn to make his own decisions. I will never deliberately try to hurt your son. I am not after your fortune; I have never and will never be after your fortune. I am a Lord in my own right. I also have a fortune in my own right. I will release bank statements to you, if you feel that I am after your fortune. I am more insulted that you assume that I am a submissive whore after your son’s money then your belief that I will hurt him.” Jaydin said the last sentence with a snarl.

He raised his hand and Ravryn brought Draconis back from the dance floor. Draconis bowed to Ravryn and thanked her for the dance.

“Draconis, we must greet the Parkinsons and the other major families, after that I shall dance with you if you wish.” Jaydin and his companions strolled over to where the Parkinsons were located. Jaydin and his companions greeted the Parkinsons, as well as others, and then found a table.

The trio began to mingle with the other members of the Court. Draconis was upset. He wanted Jaydin’s attentions. Draconis stalked over to where Jaydin was talking to a middle-aged dominant.

Draconis was instantly jealous. The dominant was standing much too close to Jaydin. Draconis approached them and gave a feral smile. Even though Draconis was only twelve there was something about him that said that he was dangerous or was going to be become very, very dangerous. The dominant paled and ended his sentence abruptly.

Jaydin turned around. His eyes brightened when his eyes caught sight of Draconis. He excused himself from the dominant and moved to Draconis.

“Hello, Jaydin,” Draconis greeted.

“Hello, Draconis, you know you did not have to scare off the poor dominant. I would not have danced with him, nor given him my attentions.”

“He was standing much too close to you, Jaydin,” Draco growled while pulling Jaydin closer.

Jaydin giggled, “we were making a business deal, he was going to trade certain elicit potion ingredients from certain countries, so that we can sell some special potions at Knockturn Alley. We are creating a potions shop soon.”

“I do not care, he was still standing much to close,” Draconis said with a slight pout.

“And now I am here in your arms, and Lyon is sealing the deal. You do not have to worry Draconis, you will always come first. I do not wish to offend you or allow you to think that anyone is a threat to you.”

There was a ringing of the bell and Draconis escorted Jaydin back to his table. It was time to be Introduced. Draconis approached his table proudly. Lucius, Narcissa, and Severus all stood. Lucius stood to Draco’s right, Narcissa to the left, and Severus in front of him. They all approached the middle of the ballroom.

“Draconis Lucius Malfoy,” Lucius began as Draco kneeled, “you knell before us now as an Introduction to Pureblood Society. You kneel before us, those who shall be your peers, your brethren, your lovers, your subordinates. You kneel before your ancestors and your gods. You come before us today as the heir of a great name. You shall one day be the Duke Malfoy. Your responsibilities are numerous and grow with every generation. Do you swear to one day take up the responsibility of the Malfoy name?”

“I swear under the sun which is the Father.”

“Do you swear to protect and defend the Malfoy name?” Narcissa intoned.

“I swear under the Moon which is the Mother.”

“Do you swear to protect your family both who are related to you by blood and choice?”

Draco looked Jaydin in the eye and whispered, “I swear under the elements which maintain the balance.”

“With all promises of such importance you must seal your promise with blood. Spill the blood of your ancestors at the same place they did when they were Introduced,” Severus stated while pulling a knife.

Draco cut his wrist and allowed it to bleed onto the floor. He then walked forward to accept his presents. There were the presents that all people gain at events such as these, such as clothes, books, potions and the like but Draconis was most excited for the gifts from his family and Jaydin.

From Severus he got the knife that he cut himself with as was tradition, and several books that Severus had written on magic theory and potions.

From his father, he got the vault key that was filled with money that he would use only invest in projects and companies, which was also tradition, he also received his first walking stick, which would have a knife hidden in it.

From his mother he received a cloak that was hand sewn by the best tailor in the wizarding world and imbued with magic that Narcissa had placed herself, he was also given a set of handkerchiefs, as was traditional as Draconis was a gentleman now.

From Ravryn he received a series of books on magical theory and ritual magic, as well as a sheathe for his wand that was spelled for protection. From Lyon he received a set of blades and offensive potions.

From Jaydin he received a silver pocket watch with a gold snake on the front and emerald eyes, which had Jaydin’s name inscribed in it as well as the date they met. In addition, he received a note, which said:

‘I promise that one day you shall know who I am, one day there will be no more secrets between us, but until that day I can promise you one thing, and that is even when the day seems hopeless and the night frightening. Even when there is no hope left and you no longer smile upon me, I shall always feel affection for you, I shall always hold you close to my heart. I shall never regret the time that we spent together. The pocket watch is to help you not only measure the time in a day but also measure the time until I can tell you who I am.

Always yours,

Jaydin Shari’

With all of Draconis’ gifts opened dancing resumed. Jaydin approached Draconis and asked, “I hope that you enjoyed my gift?”

“I did, your letter was quite moving, and now I wish to give you a gift of my own,” Draco responded as he moved his bleeding arm closer to Jaydin’s face.

Jaydin’s eyes lit up when presented by the bleeding arm, “you do not have to offer this to me.”

“Yes I do, there is none other I would rather give my blood to.”

Jaydin move the veil to cover Draco’s arm and began to lick up the blood. Draco gazed down at him while Jaydin rolled his eyes up to observe Draco’s reaction to his delicate licks. They were both pleased by the expressions on the other’s face. Eventually Jaydin pulled away and they began to dance once more.

Jaydin and Draconis danced for the rest of the night only to take slight breaks in order to speak with Lyon, Ravryn, Draconis’ family and other members of the Court.

~0~

The rest of the summer was spent in correspondence and balls where Jaydin and Draconis began to cement their bond and became even more infatuated with each other.
Lucius was still reluctant for them to have relations but he knew now that he could not truly stop Draconis from continuing correspondence.

At the last ball, Jaydin and Draconis separated for the rest of the year. Jaydin promised to write to Draconis while he was at Hogwarts. Draconis did not know where Jaydin was educated. He did not know much about his
little submissive but he knew that they would remain in contact with each other.

Thus the first summer of the affair between the Lord Jaydin Shari, who was a mystery to everyone, even those with every tool and resource at their fingertips, and the Marquess Draconis Malfoy, the heir of the Malfoy Dukedom, the heir of the most powerful family acknowledged by the Court, ended but everyone knew that the actual affair was only beginning.

So... College sucks, which I knew because I am a Sophomore but I am in this uber-difficult major (Diplomacy and International Relations) and I am having major issues with the next chapter... BUT I WILL TRY MY BEST!!
