Arranged marriage

Draco came home early in the morning, after spending his night with his boyfriend, Theodore Nott. He had to spent the night in Theo's apartment. Despite being rich, Lucius did not want his son to move out from the Manor and Draco had not much problem with living with his parents, until he fall in love. 

Every day, after returning from the office late at night, Draco would go to meet his boyfriend Theo, after his parents fall asleep. And would return early in the morning. He had ordered all the servant remain tight lipped about this. (But well as much as Draco was their master Lucius was more than that. So, they could not keep the news hidden from the elder Malfoy. ) 

Draco had to keep this relation a secret from his parents and sneak out like a teenager (which he did not need to so when he was of that age) since, the 'Nott' company (Theo's father's company) was a rival of the Malfoys from the beginning. So, he knew, his parents would never accept this relationship. But Draco was madly in love with the boy. So was Theo, he was sure of. That is why despite the history both the family shared, Draco could not control his heart. For the first time in his life he was listening to his heart, and Draco could say he was happy. Very happy. 

While passing by his parents' room to go to his, Draco heard his mother's voice early in the morning which was unexpected. His mother was a early riser yes, but it was too soon. 

"No Lucius you can't ruin a boy's life like this. " He heard his mother saying in a concerned voice.

"But this is for Draco. Our son. We don't want our son to choose the wrong path and ruin our company now. Do we?" Lucius said coldly. 

"I know that. And I also don't want Draco to chose wrong path. But what about other boy? You can't ruin another boy's future to build your Son's!" 

"Why are you thinking about the other boy instead of Draco, YOUR OWN SON? He is more important to me. And I would do anything for him. Anything." 

"You would do anything to save the company. " Narcissa said, her voice losing it's temperature too. 

"Yes I would. I had established this company. I have spent my life for it. I can't make it loose it's reputation for my son's decision, as much as I love him. That is why I chose to get him married. Besides I've already given the boys family the money they asked for. It's huge amount no doubt, but anything for my son and company." Lucius said. 

"Money?" Narcissa asked in a surprised voice. 

"Well, when I went to talk with his uncle, the demanded money, I agreed to that. and the Marriage was fixed in two day,..." 

"This easily?"

"Yeah I was surprised too. But later I understood his family does not care for him much. So we are kind of saving him from that hell of a family. " 

Narcissa did not reply anything. 

"Severus told me the boy, Harry Potter, really is perfect for Draco. The boy is his one time crush, Lily Potter and James Potter's son. Well educated, sweet and very caring...And you know I believe Severus the most with Draco's good future after you. That is why with any second thought I agreed to talk with the family."

"And the greedy family is practically selling their son- " 

"-Nephew" 

"To us?" 

"Yes."

Draco had left as soon as he heard his father was getting him married not caring to listen to the whole conversation. He hurriedly entered his room. Mind running with several thoughts, the happiness he felt after spending the night with his boyfriend is already gone. Anger, irritation and all the negative feelings embraced him. His father has already decided to get him married? Without asking him? But why?

What will happen to Theo and him and their dream to live together forever? What will he do? Doesn't he has any opinion? Haven't he done everything his father wanted him to do? Why this now? How can his decision ruin the company?

Wait, wait wait, the boy had agreed to marry him for money, didn't he? Father said he had already given the money. And that stopped all the thoughts. 

Draco said. "Getting married for money? really?" He began to blame the boy for this misfortune forgetting to think rationally. He needed to show his anger on someone, and the unknown boy got all of those. There was a little bit sane part of his brain scolded him for being this stupid but Draco had already stopped listening to that part of his brain for last few months now. Damn you oxytocin. 

But at least if Draco heard all the conversations of his parents maybe he wouldn't have hated his soon-to-be husband that much. Because he would have learnt the boy was not marrying with him for money but was in a way sold to them by his family. They boy's family was taking the money by getting the boy married. The poor boy's opinion doesn't matter to both his parents and the boy's family. 

As Soon as Draco calm back from the sudden shock of the news he learnt eavesdropping his parents he told his boyfriend everything about this. Theo suggested him to get married according to his father's wish, and then after few years when Draco would become the official owner of the Malfoy company and Theo become the owner of the 'Nott' Draco would get divorced with his husband then, and Theo and he can start a new life. With the hopes of spending a good future with the boy he loved, Draco agreed to get married and said yes when his parents told him everything. But refused to meet his soon to be husband. 

Soon the wedding day arrived. 

Only his family was present in that ceremony. But to his surprise, no one came from Harry's side except from a fat looking middle age man, a women who was tall but had a weirdly long face and a boy of his age. But he decided not to think much about that. Cause that was his none of his business. He was doing all this in hopes for a better future. He was doing this to prove his father that he can look after both his family and company. 

After returning from the ceremony they had a family meeting which seemed more like a business meeting with his parents, his newly wed husband and him, sitting in the living room. 

And when his father started to talk about money, how Harry would have separate bank account where he will be given money every month Draco could not help but began to feel the same thing he felt when he first learnt about this marriage. He practically ignored how, all Harry's income would be given to the Dursleys. All he could think was 'Harry was making the pure thing called marriage all About money. And nothing else. How can some one be this greedy?' 

Draco hated him. Draco hated that everything was happening against his will and he could not do anything about that. He hated his life. All he wished now was to run away from the room go to Theo's and spend the night with the boy under him. 

Instead of that, now Draco was sitting in his bed. He has to share his room with the boy now, which he is not at all happy with. But why he has to share?

They have plenty of rooms in the Manor, didn't they? Then why in Merlin's name the boy has to sleep with him on his bed? It was childish Draco knew. But if he could not get what he wanted Draco can be childish. 

'No, I'll not let him sleep with me.' Draco thought.

He changed himself in a comfortable top and a pajama, and then laid himself down in the king-size bed, which was perfect for two people. But he made sure, Harry couldn't take his place in the bed, as he layed down in the middle of the bed. 

After sometimes, with his eyes still closed he heard the room's door click open, and rays of light from the halls hit his face. Soon the door was closed making the room dark as night again. He heard small footsteps coming towards the bed. 

'The boy has come to take my Theo's place. Screw him.' Draco muttered in his mind. 'Only Theo is allowed to sleep beside me. No one else. If I let him, that would be cheating with my love. I'm not a cheater.'

He pretends to as if he was in deep sleep from all the exhaustion from yesterday, but could feel his husband's eyes were glued at him, Draco still remained unmoved. He heard Harry sigh, and Then sounds of him walking away from near the bed. 

THAD!!! A loud sound echoed in the room. 

Can't he be silent? Draco wanted to say something, hurtful to Harry. But decided to zip his tongue. Cause, Draco was supposed to be asleep then. 

" Sorry! sorry... " Harry mumbled and then opened his suitcase, which was placed near Draco's study table.

Draco turned around so that his back was facing Harry.

"I fucking don't need to know... " He thought and went in dreamless sleep, not caring about where his newly married husband slept. 

........ 

"Lucius! I did not know you could be this selfish!" Narcissa said to his husband as soon as she entered their room. "How could you even think this way? " 

"What did I do? " Lucius said looking up from the book he was reading. 

"You asked Harry to leave his job? How could you? You want him to be a stay at home husband? Leaving his passion?" 

"I- " 

"And when he protested against you with a valid reason you take away all his money? When did you become so selfish, so heartless Lucius...? " 

"Narcissa - " 

"I know you would do anything for your company, but what THIS has to do with your company?"

"Listen to me Narcissa." Lucius said in a calm voice. " I did not want to do all these. It is because... " 

" Mr Dursley" Lucius said. " When will I get the chance to meet your nephew? I need to talk to him."  They were sitting in the living room of privet drive. Mr. Dursley has happily informed him how Harry has agreed to get married immediately. So Lucius went their to pay the money for the marriage. 

"You can't talk to him. You are his father in law. It's our family tradition. You can't talk to your in laws before the marriage. " Petunia said, instead of his husband. 

"What kind of bullshit is this? " Lucius asked. "This is stupid. I want to talk to Harry. " 

"No you can't." Petunia said again. 

" I would not listen to you. Mrs Dursley. He is my family now. And I have my rights to talk to him. " 

"He is not your family yet Mr. Malfoy. And I have every right to stop this marriage. " Vernon said. 

"You guys really treat him like he's your property?! " Lucius thought. But did not say that aloud. 

"You can meet him in one condition." Dudley said suddenly "you have to promise me, you will never talk to Harry about us taking money from you. And you have to make Harry agree to give all his earning to us. " 

Lucius looked at the stupid looking boy wide eyed. 

"And I had to agree with this Narcissa. I needed to talk with Harry. I could never imagine that stupid looking boy could think this way. " Lucius said. "This is why I asked Harry to leave the job. I could have given him money anyway because he deserves that. But now it feels like I am paying the Dursley family for getting Harry married to my son. "

"Why did you agree? You are more powerful Than those people." Narcissa asked looking at her husband. 

"I'm. But I did not want them to hurt Harry. I wanted to save Harry. This is why I agreed to all these things. And I hope Draco would take a good care of Harry. They would take good care of each other. " Lucius said. 

Narcissa just smiled. "I hope that too." But Draco loves Theo. I can feel that. I can see that. It would be hard for him to accept Harry. I am worried for both of my sons. 

"There's also another selfish reason. I don't want them to spread stupid rumors about us. That why- " Lucius started. 

"Yeah I understand. After knowing the reasons I am not angry with you anymore. But still feel like a villein to making Harry sign up with all these. "

The next morning, loud bangs in the door woke Draco up. He always was a light sleeper. Draco groaned, rubbed his face. He was still tired from last night and wished to sleep more. But the banging in the door continued, making it hard for him to go back to sleep. He shouted angrily. 

"Are you gonna break the door or something? "

"Shut up bitch.... " It's Pansy, a complete maniac he calls his best friends. "Blaise and I want to meet your husband. Sadly we didn't got any chance to meet him before. And you had a private marriage," Draco could feel her eyes rolling. "so let us meet with him. He is not all yours to keep him away from us. "

"Right, I'm married now." Draco rolled his eyes annoyed at the thought. "But where the fuck my dear husband is?" Events of last night came in his mind. How he did not let the boy sleep in his bed, and now he has no idea where the poor man slept the whole night. 

Draco's room was not small. So he got down from the bed to wake his husband up. 

He looked around to find, a sleeping boy, curled in a small ball, near his study table, on a mattress, which maybe he brought from his home. He noticed a tear stain on his cheek. Draco felt a little pity for the sleeping man but shrugged it off.

"Come on Draco!!!" Pansy shouted. "I'm planned so much for him. Open the door. I know you haven't fucked in the first--"

"Shut the fuck up girl. He's still sleeping." Draco shouted back, and walked to Harry, to wake him up. After all, Harry was a deep sleeper. The banging and shouting did not wake him up. 

He patted the boys back few times to wake him up. Harry groaned, and slowly opened his eyes. As soon as green eyes met the silver blue he made a surprised noise. Then slowly he realised his surrounding. 

"Draco... " He whispered. 

"Get ready, my friends are waiting for you outside." Draco said in a voice that held no emotions. Harry nodded and slowly sat up. He began to put away the mattress, as Draco moved away from him.  

"And listen. From next day sleep in the couch. There's blanket in my second closet. Take those too. " With the words said, Draco entered the bathroom to fresh up. 

After both of them were presentable the couple came down in the small living room, where they met with elder Malfoys yesterday to meet with Draco's friends.

Pansy, Blaise, Draco and Hermione were friends since their childhood days. He knew Pansy and Blaise as family friends and met with Hermione in kindergarten. From then the four of them were always together. Two years ago Hermione went abroad for completing her higher studies. That is why only Pansy and Blaise came to meet him.

As Draco entered the room, Pansy, who was sitting on one of the expensive couch stood up and hugged him, and then she wrapped Harry in her arms, who flinched slightly at the contact, but hugged back akwardly.

"Don't worry. You'd get used to Pansy's physical affections." Blaise smiled at Harry after Pansy let go of him and extended his hands for a handshake. With a slight smile Harry took his hands. 

Then Blaise hugged his best friend. Four of the took sit. Draco and Harry sat side by side and opposite to them set the other two.

The three friends began to talk catching up with each other, Harry sat silently, listening to them. Pansy informed Harry, Draco is such a bad friend, because it has been days since they met cause Draco makes excuses each time. In response Draco rolled his eyes. 'i have job '

"Do you know Draco," Blaise said grinning, " Mione is returning home in few months, with her boyfriend. She called me Yesterday after she heard about your marriage"

"Oh really?" Draco's eyes lit up in mention of his friend. "That's such a good news mate...I missed her. It's been two damn years since we have seen her."

"Yep I also Miss her." Pansy nodded.

"You should call her you know. You have become so distant from all of us since-" Blaise said looking at him pointedly. But Pansy cut him off. 

"We have came here for Harry." Pansy said rolling her eyes. Then looked at the boy who was silent and was listening to them curiously. "We should get to learn about him you know. You can talk about Draco's matter later."

Harry blushed as suddenly all the attention came to him. 

"Harry, will you like to hangout us?" 

They proposed Harry would go out with Pansy and Blaise, every Wednesday and Thursday evening to the local cafe. Though Pansy suggested they should go to a bar but Blaise said cafe would be better. 

First Harry was hesitant. Because meeting with new people was not that easy for him after all. And these are Draco's friend. Much richer much high class than him. Harry had a simple life, he doesn't know how to behave with them. 

"Harry, I'm not gonna kill you. You can trust us, it will be fun. You are Draco's husband so technically you are our friend too. We want to know you." Pansy said with a smile. Then looked at Draco."Draco please tell you husband we are good people. And ask him to go with us.... "

" I am no one to tell him what should he do. I have no interest in him." Draco said coldly.

"You're coming with us, Harry. And this is confirmed. " Pansy said excitedly, ignoring Draco's rude voice. On the ot

her hand Blaise was looking at him pointedly. 

Draco rolled his eyes and left for the kitchen, to bring himself a morning coffee.

Okay, so this is the second chapter. Lemme know-how is it. :)
