Breaking the engagement
Draco knew what kind of partner Potter fancied. Someone brave, fierce and strong willed. Someone who was Ernest, diligent. Someone that was Ginny. He knew for a fact that Potter absolutely couldn't like someone cowardly and childish, too clingy and spoilt with no respect for personal space... And Draco was exactly that. Or he is gonna be.
He was going to break this marriage before it even has time to grow, Returning to his real world is his top priority and he didn't really care what this Draco would've felt because it seems like even in this world they're on the same page. He still hates Potter and Potter hates his guts too.
Atleast that's what he's come to know after staying a week in this young Draco's body.
Draco's first plans are to humiliate Potter at their engagement ceremony.
Everyone present there knows that it's just a strategic marriage to keep the good reputation of the Malfoys and for the light side to keep tabs on the Malfoy heir. It was all well planned out but Draco couldn't care less.
And no matter what others said, he was pretty pleased with his life in his real world. He had a job some friends and his relationship with his mother was improving.
And even though he doesn't get to see father much due to him being in Azkaban, he liked the monotony he was living in.... He thinks so
Anyways, this marriage was not possible he somehow needed to end it.
"I won't be under your control Potter!" He huffs to himself.
.
On the day of the their engagement ceremony, Pansy comes to help him get ready.
Even in this universe, Pansy is still his best friend. He shouldn't be surprised, he has quite the charming personality after all. Blaise seems to be busy with his mom on some business trip, whatever it was and just gave his condolences to Draco, that bastard!. There still seemed to two other friends he doesn't have much knowledge about... friends from Beauxbatons. Draco couldn't really remember. They said they'd come today.
"Draco dear I know you like being a little extra and over-dramatic at times but are you really gonna wear that to the umm... Ceremony?" Pansy questions him eying the outfit he's wearing. He just rolls his eyes,
"Isn't it great? I picked it up myself, I'm sure Potter is gonna love it. Do you think he'll break off the engagement after he sees how ridiculous all this is?."
Draco replies fixing the frills on the dress he's wearing.
"Yeah... right, I'm sure Potter would love to see you in a pink frilly dress.... With the big bows and all." Pansy covers her mouth trying to hold back her laughter, "What am I witnessing, oh merlin!" She starts to burst out laughing.
Draco just glares at him. "You're just jealous because I look better in this dress than you ever would!"
It isn't quite true because Pansy always looks stunning in gowns but he had to hold his pride.
"Now go on bring me the blush, I need something that matches this outfit."
Pansy won't stop laughing and now which causes Draco to burst out with laughter causing them to take far longer to get ready than it should.
The dress he's wearing isn't exactly comfortable and is quite tight around his chest area but sacrifices are needed to be made for the greater good. Yes this is it.
He sighs and walks down the stairs quite aware that his parents aren't gonna be very happy when Harry refuses to marry him
They had tried their best to get this proposal and him ruining it would be disgraceful. That is sole the reason why he's planned it all so Potter will be the one to reject him no disgrace for the Malfoys and Potter gets to have the wife he actually likes.
He really was a mastermind.

As he reaches drawing room, Draco can feel everyone's eyes on him. He tries looking around the surrounding and get a hold of the situation but he catches Potter's eyes and is immediately drawn to those endless lush of green staring back at him.
He wants to win the staring contest, he really does, but alas he has important business at hand and averts his eyes going towards where his parents are sitting.
"Father, Mother", he greets them.
His Father doesn't really look his way but his mother looks at him taken aback.
Narcissa had chosen a beautiful but elegant blue dress robes which to be honest suited Draco better. But he wasn't here to impress.
Draco then turns towards the golden trio opposite to his parents. There are also some other people from Potter's side but he doesn't pay attention to them.
"Darling you're here! " Draco says looking at Potter with a sweet voice and a smile that might or might not look a little creepy.
He hears Potter choke on his tea and Weasley stop midway in eating the appple crumble he has been swallowing in a gulp. A green light.
"I missed you so much love, I thought you'd never come" he whines, "it's been such a long time since I saw you " he then looks up to Potter batting his eyelashes.
He surely is gonna be revolted by his act, Draco smirks to himself.
"I- er ..." Potter struggles to answer
His mother shoots him a look while his Father's looks quite heckled. Lucius didn't seemed pleased at the endearment his son referred to the saviour.
"Draco dear come on sit on the sofa, you shouldn't be straining you precious legs too much"
Pansy really seems to want to really worsen the situation then it already is and honestly he's grateful for how well she understands him.
Now Potter will see how truly spoiled and messed up Draco can be.
His father clears his throat, "So as we were speaking, the conditions for this marriage..."
Draco notices Potter looking back at him and gives him a wink, to which Potter makes a weird noise concerning others around him.
Ganger whispers something into his ears and Potter turns beet red shaking his head.
"Are you okay Harry?" Narcissa asks concerned and Harry just shakes his head unable to say a word, because Malfoy won't stop staring at him.
Harry doesn't understand what's gotten into Malfoy. Just two weeks ago he was cursing at Harry saying he would never marry him even if his life was on the line and gave him the cold treatment their whole date (arranged by the Malfoys to help them bond). And suddenly now he acting like they've been lovers this whole time.
He knew Malfoy was up to something and he has to get to root of whatever Evil plan he was plotting. You couldn't trust a Malfoy, especially after that said Malfoy tried poisoning his tea on their second date! Well not exactly poison but salt in his tea is poison enough!
He sighs and tries to go back to their conversation.
And just as he thinks he's composed himself, Malfoy sends him a flying kiss.
Bloody cunt.
