-Y/n's POV-

Have you ever exchanged "I dos" with someone you love? Do you ever want to spend your whole to the person you love? Is it always a dream of yours? It is my dream, but the opposite just happened.

Y/n Auclair, the only daughter of the Auclairs, age 16, standing in front of the mirror, wearing a white wedding dress.

I know I'm too young to be walking down the aisle with the hands of my father and mother as they gave me away to exchange 'I dos' to the man I barely knew.

I know to myself that after this very wedding, my life will be changed forever. A total nightmare of mine.

Mr. Eric Auclair and Mrs. Luiza Auclair, my parents, wanted to continue our pureblood line. No, they don't despise half-bloods and muggleborns. They just wanted to marry me off to another pureblood, to the only son of the Malfoys.

Not only for the continuation of the pureblood line but also for keeping the promises of our Grandfathers.

I was told that our Grandfathers are friends, more likely best friends, so they kept each other's promise that the firstborn grandson in Malfoys and the firstborn granddaughter in the Auclairs, will be declared as husband and wife.

I thought of it as nonsense and have fought with my parents that I would never marry such a man I barely knew.

I have seen him at school, a lot, their son. All I know about him is he's rather cold and a snob. He is the person I'm terrified of the most in the house of Slytherin. His name, Draco Lucius Malfoy

For everyone, the wedding was the most precious and unforgettable moment you will share with the one and only of your life. For me, it wasn't. I never wanted to spend my life with a cold person who barely notice or speaks to me. I feel like before, he doesn't know I even exist.

I continued to look at myself in the mirror. No smile, no gleaming eyes, but tears. It wasn't tears of joy, it was the tears of fear and sadness.

I thought of running away and leaving everything behind, but I cannot. I don't want to be the embarrassment of the family. By also means to the Malfoys. I just don't want to cause any trouble to my Parents and put shame on our family name.

Though, this wedding was to be kept as a secret until we graduated. The guests are just the other family members from the Malfoys and including mine.

Knock knock...

"May I come in?" My mother asked, holding the doorknob as she took a peek inside.

I nodded in reply.

"Darling, you look lovely." She placed her hands on my arms as we both looked at the mirror.

I let out sighed and muttered, "Mama, I don't want to do this."

"I know Darling, I know." She said, swiping the little strands of hair on my face. "I'm sorry for doing this to you."

I never replied. I never want to let out another word. It'll only burst me into tears.

Knock knock. Another knock was heard.

"Ready?" Papa came in and joined us.

"She is ready now, Dear." Mama smiled, slightly.

"Come on now, Dear." Papa reached his hand for mine. I reached for it as he led me outside of the room.

☁︎︎ ❀ ☁︎︎

Papa and Mama were walking me down on the aisle. The people in their seats stood up, watching me with the controlled smile plastered on my lips.

My eyes took a glimpse around the guests, but my brother, William, wasn't there. I knew he hated this idea, the same as I am. Is he mad..at me? or my Parents? I don't know...I couldn't do anything, for it was my Parents' decision.

The Malfoys are standing in the front seat, looking at me with a smile on their faces. And my soon-to-be husband looked at me coldly. No smile, no tears of joy.

Papa gave my hand to the hand of the only son of the Malfoys. All my body wants is to run away, leave everyone and leave the groom in front of the Altar. But everything was too late as soon as my father gave my hand to him.

I took a deep breath and let out a sigh. This is it. This is the start that my life would be turned upside down. The start where I'm going to be lost in my own world....
