IV

Draco Malfoy has already chosen the girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Unfortunately for him, his family chose someone else. Bound by a centuries-old pure-blood contract, Draco is forced into an arranged engagement with Y/N Y/L/N, a Beauxbatons transfer he’s never met and never wanted. With his heart set on Astoria Greengrass, he refuses to let an ancient promise dictate his future. Y/N has no interest in stealing someone else’s place—or begging for affection she’ll never receive. But as the school year unfolds, resentment gives way to reluctant companionship, and the line between obligation and choice begins to blur. In a world where bloodlines decide futures, the hardest spell to break may be the one cast upon their hearts.
