”Sigh!” Draco sighed heavily going back to his room. He didn't know what got into him, that made him ask that question.

”Are you okay?” Theodore's voice came from behind.

Draco looked back to find Theodore and Pansy behind him.

”I am fine.” Draco replied

”If you want to get something off your chest.” Pansy said walking forward, ”You can always tell me, you know?”

”It's nothing.” Draco said shaking his head, ”I am just stressed with all the things that have been going on.”

”You are not the only one.” Theodore said sighing as well.

Draco raised his eyebrows, looking at Theodore curiously.

”It's Cho.” Theodore said, ”With all the current rumors going around, she started distancing herself from me-- I mean us.”

”Hmph! I expected nothing less from her.” Pansy said, ”She seemed to be the type who would always follow the crowd and can't stand up for herself from the start. So I am not even surprised.”

”Pansy!!” Draco said with a bit of strict voice, he didn't want both of them to fight over this kind of topic.

”It's okay.” Theodore said sighing, ”I don't really care that much, I felt bad for a minute when I found that she was ignoring me but I understand that we are different people so I can't expect her to be like me or agree with me on things blindly, considering that we haven't even known each other for more than just a couple of months. Especially with this kind of topic but she started talking to me normally later on anyway, so it's really not that big of a deal.”

”Chill you're 11.” Draco said rolling his eyes, ”My father would really love to have you as his son.”

”Why? What happened.” Theodore asked.

”Over the vacation, my father wanted to fix marriage for me.” Draco said lazily.

”WHAT??” Pansy and Theodore said at the same time, ”So did you?” Pansy asked with a small voice.

”Of course, I didn't agree with it.” Draco said, ”Why did you think I rushed to become a Black so quickly?”

”You did it all to escape from marriage?” Theodore asked looking confused. The whole thing had brought so many troubles and to hear that the reason behind all this was just Draco wanting to escape from marrying seems doubtful.

”Well, I planned to inherit the Black family around next year but due to my father acting like an idiot, I had to do it early on,” Draco said.

”Who did your father wanted you to marry?” Pansy asked in her normal voice.

Draco looked at her for a while and turned his gaze away and said. ”Anyway, I am sorry for asking that weird question earlier.”

Pansy pouted not getting the answer but didn't say anything, she felt that she was better off not knowing the answer because she was scared that it was some other girl, she didn't know about.

Looking at the weird atmosphere, Theodore sighed and said, ”You know, even if you were a dark lord, I will still follow you as long as you don't do anything annoying.”

Draco looked at Theodore in surprise,
