1 H.P
It was a cold day, the sky was cloudy and the roads were almost full of snow, small flowers were coming out of the snow, some deer could be seen grazing quietly in the small snow covered forest that was around the castle of the Slytherin kings.
An almost white blond hair was looking at everything from the window of his room, Five had left an hour ago, he should be close to his kingdom, he carefully took the book he had been reading and tried to read it again, without being able to do it he sighed frustrated.
His parents kept insisting that he should find a betrothed soon, that they needed alliances with one of the other kingdoms.
The other kingdoms that made up Hogwarts were Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, her father wanted her to become engaged to one of the heirs of these kingdoms.
They had discarded Ravenclaw because it had an heiress, not an heir, and since he was a maiden, he could not marry her, besides Luna was one of his best friends, he could not marry her, it would be strange.
Someone knocked on the door, he turned to see, thinking whether to answer or not, sighed and with a soft but strong voice to be heard said "Come in".
A servant passed by and bowed.
"Prince Draco his parents call him."
The blond nodded and the servant came out, he stood up from where he was and walked over to the mirror to see that it was spotless, after a quick check, he walked out to the main hall where his parents would surely be waiting for him.
When he arrived he knocked on the door, his mother's sweet voice could be heard from the other side of the door saying "Come in Dray" and his father's throat clearing, he entered with a confident step and stood in front of his father and mother.
"Yes father, mother."
His father nodded and his mother smiled warmly at him.
"Draco we can't wait any longer you have to choose one of the many suitors we chose for you and if you don't do it we will."
His father was serious, Draco only had his head down feeling so helpless at that moment and nodded.
"We will bring the letters from the suitors for you to read and choose her, after that the others will be made aware that you have already chosen, it's easy."
His father continued and snapped his fingers, a maid came in with a basket full of cards, she left them on the table in the center of the room and then bowed and left, Draco looked at the pile of cards, got even more frustrated and approached the basket.
"You can take it to your room if you want, dear, so you can read them at your leisure."
His mother told him calmly and with a smiling smile and his father nodded, Draco slowly denied and began to look at all the cards, he closed his eyes and put a hand in the basket to take out one of the cards, his parents watched him attentively and tried to hide their curiosity for what their son was doing.
He opened his eyes when he finished taking out the card, it did not look like the others, it was golden in color and small red flowers, more precisely lilies, adorned one corner of the card.
"That's the letter from the kingdom."
His mother could not finish speaking, her son had looked at her with a slight frown.
"He, the heir to this kingdom may court me, he will have two weeks and if I see that he is not fit for me I will discard him and choose another, those are my conditions."
He declared with seriousness and his parents nodded in agreement, that was something.
"Well parents I am retiring to my room."
He made a slight bow and went to his room, when he arrived knowing that his parents would not listen he slammed the door, he would like to forget everything for a moment, forget that he had to get married, forget about all the responsibilities he had but he could not, it was his duty to do the best for his kingdom, besides if we look at the bright side it would be fun to see how far the princes could go to conquer it.
He let out a small laugh, it would be impossible and his parents would see that none of them is suitable, he would show them that he could rule alone without any other prince by his side and with that thought he went to take a bath to relax.
That same night letters were sent to different kingdoms clarifying that Prince Draco had already made his decision, but if the prince he had chosen was not suitable for him, he would choose another one, so they should keep their eyes open.
On the other hand, the following letter was sent to the chosen prince.
'Prince Harry of Gryffindor you are Prince Draco's chosen one so here are the things you should know: You have two weeks to court the prince and see if you are suitable for him. If at the end of the last week the prince says you are not suitable you will be discarded. That would be all, we hope to have your honored visit in two days. Thus we bid farewell to Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, kings of Slytherin. When the letter arrived in the hands of the Gryffindor prince, he smiled, it would be difficult to win the heart of that prince, but he would succeed, of that he was sure'.
