It was the start of October and it seemed things were slowly coming together. Well, if you take into account the aftermath of the poor attempt at circumventing the current marriage laws. Luckily, due to the marriage contract Sirius had, Narcissa was officially free from Lucius’ grasp. Not only that, but because of the contracts, Draco got to remain with Narcissa due to the Death Mark fiasco and apparently countless other issues Narcissa had documented. Since then, Draco has been sent to Hogwarts and under my protection–so to speak. Apparently he has been seen walking with my friends instead of his old one. While in Slytherin, he stayed close to Daphne and her friends. The reaction was quite hilarious according to my girlfriend. "Well Marcus, you seemed to have outdone yourself yet again," I praised the ancient Vampire next to me after a moment of introspection.
