Prologue

For centuries now every heir of the Malfoy royal family had married a women chosen for them by birth, one who would be able to handle the pressure of leadership and at the same time be able to stand down and let their partner fix it.

This year would be the first time that routine would be broken. With the threat of war coming from the south, where the death eater tribes under command of Tom Riddle prepared for battle, the only thing to buy them some more time was a strong alliance. That´s why Lucius Malfoy who was currently king of France started making arrangements for a tournament a week before his only son Draconis Lucius Malfoy would come of age. He invited all heirs of the stronger country´s at that time: Pansy Parkinson of England, Luna Lovegood of Sweden, Hermione Granger of Greece, Cho Chang of China and because this alliance was so important even boys were asked to compete. They were: Ronald Weasley of Germany, Blaise Zambini of Italy, Dudley Dursley of Poland and after some consideration he added Harry Potter of the Netherlands to the list. They might not be big or have a lot of fire power but they had contacts everywhere and the young Potter boy was said to be something special.

No more than two days later Lucius received answers from all the country's and he was quite satisfied with the results. Everyone would be attending with exception of Cho Chang since her parents had already arranged for her to be married to the next heir of Japan.

All the guests would be arriving tomorrow but he would check them first before he officially decided who would fight for an alliance.
