Written for and inspired by @drarrymicrofic August'25 prompt: Reflection
[Bingo squares: Non magical AU, arranged marriage, bets and wagers, mystery]
Draco inspected his reflection in the mirror one last time, before it was time for him to walk down the aisle.
His dad's old suit was a perfect fit, yet he felt like a child playing dress-up.
His phone buzzed inside his pocket. He did not have to look at it to know that it was a text from Harry.
"Draco?" His dad called, knocking on his door, "Are you ready yet? I bet even the Bride would be ready by now."
This was it. No turning back now.
Draco exhaled through his mouth. He placed the neatly folded suit on the bed and picked up Harry's leather jacket, draping it over his shoulder. He checked his reflection again, smoothing down the wrinkles in his jeans and shirt.
A reluctant smile touched his lips for the first time in what felt like weeks.
He unlocked his door to the sight of his parents dressed for his wedding that he was planning to elope from.
Let the song and dance begin.
When his parents thought he was rehearsing his wedding vows, he had actually been practicing how to break the news of his relationship with Harry to his parents.
In true Malfoy fashion, he decided the best time and place to do it would be minutes before he was expected to walk down the aisle.
"Well," His dad trailed off.
"Pay up Lucius!" Narcissa exclaimed in absolute glee cutting off the start of her son's monologue.
And bingo across the board! This was such a fun challenge for me to do (yes even the agonising part where I had to write 1000 words :) This bingo card is the reflection of a competitive yet lazy person.
Thank you drarrymicrofic team for organising this wonderful challenge and for also taking you time to read through each and every microfic as well as leaving your thoughts on the tags. Those truly make my entire week.
