Plot: After the war, the Malfoy name lay in ruins. Their once-unassailable reputation among pureblood society had crumbled, leaving them vulnerable in the delicate post-war power structures that survived the chaos. In a calculated move to restore the family’s standing, Narcissa and Lucius proposed an arranged marriage between their only son and you—a pureblood Slytherin whose family had managed to remain neutral throughout the conflict. You had grown up in the same House as Draco, but your paths rarely crossed. You had your own tight-knit circle of friends, a quiet corner of the common room where books and study mattered more than intrigue, and you never cared for the petty games that dominated Slytherin politics.
