Summary: Draco is Slytherin to the core.
"I don't want to wear green."
Draco clenched his jaw to keep from yelling. "You look smashing in green," he said. "It matches your eyes."
Potter narrowed said eyes. "It also matches your old House colors."
"That's not why I suggested green!" Draco exclaimed. "Had I wanted to incorporate Slytherin, I would have suggested we wear green and silver."
"What if I want to wear burgundy and gold?" snapped Potter.
"You'll both wear blue," Narcissa said. Her tone brooked no argument. "Each of you will look wonderful in the color, and it is House-neutral, insofar as your own Hogwarts Houses are concerned."
Draco nodded his agreement, as did Potter.
"That's settled then," Narcissa declared. "Now, we need to consider the venue. Due to the time constraints, I think we should hold the ceremony here, at the Manor."
"I'm sorry, Mrs Malfoy, but I'm quite knackered," Potter cut in. "May we do this some other time?"
"Of course, Mr Potter," Narcissa replied. "It's only natural that you tire more easily now. Draco, please show him to one of the guest suites."
"Thank you, but I should probably go home," Potter tried.
"Nonsense," said Narcissa. "You're in no condition to travel."
Potter appeared on the verge of arguing, but one look at Narcissa's set expression caused him to reconsider. "Okay, thank you," he said, rising to his feet. "I appreciate it."
Draco jumped up. "I'll help you get settled," he offered magnanimously.
"Show Mr Potter to a guest suite, Draco," Narcissa said firmly, "not your suite."
"Yes, Mum," Draco sighed. He led the way up the grand staircase.
Potter waited until they reached the first landing to speak. "What was that all about?"
"Mum is very traditional," Draco replied. "She'll want us to, well, to wait until after the wedding."
"Erm, she does know we've been shagging like rabbits, yeah?"
"I'm sure she's guessed," said Draco.
"We're adults, Malfoy," said Potter. "The damage has been done, and I'd rather not spend the night alone."
Draco opened the door to one of the guest suites and turned to grin at Potter. "Mum said we can't share my bedroom," he said. "She never forbid us to share your suite."
