"You'll never guess what my mum told us this weekend.", Ginny said with a grin an her freckled face. She was sitting in the Gryffindor common room, surrounded by the usual group. "Are you talking about that Malfoy thing? I still don't believe it.", her older brother Ron joined the conversation. Hermione Granger was getting curious. "What are you two talking about? What's the matter with Malfoy?"
"Yeah, what did the ferret do this time?", Harry aksed while he caressed Ginny's hair affecionally. "Well, according to our mum, he got married this summer.", Ron proclaimed. As soon as those words had left his mouth, voices started to speak all at the same time.

"Oh my god, I heard that rumour too"

"Yeah, so did I."

"Maybe his parents forced him to do it."

"Maybe he knocked up some random pure-blood girl."

"If that's the case I pity that poor girl, being married to that idiot must be hell on earth."

"Are you guys discussing Malfoy's recent wedding?", Dean Thomas, who had just entered the room, asked with an amused look on his face and got a few confirming nids from his fellow Gryffindors. "In that case I'll be able to provide you with a quite interesting information." He made a short break to increase the suspence.

"I happened to pass McGonegall in a hallway just after the banquet. She was talking to Snape out of all people. I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I overheard a bit of their conversation when I walked near them. Seriously, what I heard creeped me out. She said: I never thought I would have a Malfoy in Gryffindor.. Apparently Snape had the same opinion."

The flood of conversation started all over again.

"A Gryffindor? That can't be!"

"He really must have knocked up somebody."

"But then rumours about a pregnancy would have spread."

"A traitor among us?"

"Maybe they married because they really were in love…"

"At sixteen?"

"I doubt Malfoy is even capable to love."

During all that time, Ron had remained silent but as the babble of voices came to an end, he explained in an unusually calm voice what was on his mind: "Malfoy's family never would have let him marry somebody who's not a pureblood, even if that would be pregnant. That's just not like them. Besides, many old wizarding families are quite strict concerning sex before marriage. So I highly doubt that an unplanned pregnancy was the reason for him getting married. It will be easy to find out who his wife is – the number of pure-blooded witches in Gryffindor are limited and I gueass we can exclude all student in their first and second year. We just have to look at the hand too. A pure-blooded girl with a weeding ring on her finger shouldn't be that hard to find."

Everybody agreed with him, although they were surprised to hear such a logical reasoning coming out of the redhead's mouth. They came to the conclusion that all of them should pay close attention to every Gryffindor girl's hands in order to discover who Draco Malfoy's spouse was.

Little did they suspect what a shock it would be when they finally would find out.

I'm in desperate need for a beta reader! I just don't get the beta-reading-system! If anyone would be so nice as to volunteer I would be so thankful! I'm not a native speaker and so I'd love to have somebody to check out my texts before I upload them. I won't continuing this story as long as I don't have a beta reader, sorry.

Comments are always appreciated ^^
