"Sigh!" Draco sighed heavily going back to his room. He didn't knew what got into him, that made him ask that question.

"Are you okay?" Theodore's voice came from behind.

Draco looked back to find Theodore and Pansy behind him.

"I am fine." Draco replied

"If you want to get something of your chest" Pansy said walking forward, "You can always tell me, you know?"

"It's nothing." Draco said shaking his head, "I am just stressed with all the things that's been going on."

"You are not the only one." Theodore said sighing as well.

Draco raised his eyebrows, looking at Theodore curiously.

"It's Cho." Theodore said, "With all the current rumors going around, she started distancing herself from me-- I mean us."

"Hmph! I expected nothing less from her." Pansy said, "She seemed to be the type who would always follow the crowd and can't stand up for herself from the start. So I am not even surprised."

"Pansy!!" Draco said with a bit of strict voice, he didn't want both of them to fight over this kind of topic.

"It's okay." Theodore said sighing, "I don't really care that much, I felt bad for a minute when I found that she was ignoring me but I understand that we are different people so I can't expect her to be like me or agree with me on things blindly, considering that we haven't even known each other for more than just a couple of months. Especially with this kind of topic but she started talking to me normally later on anyway, so it's really not that big of a deal."

"Chill you're 11." Draco said rolling his eyes, "My father would really love to have you as his son."

"Why? What happened." Theodore asked.

"Over the vacation, my father wanted to fix a marriage for me." Draco said lazily.

"WHAT??" Pansy and Theodore said at the same time, "So did you?" Pansy asked with a small voice.

"Of course, I didn't agree with it." Draco said, "Why did you think I rushed to become a Black so quickly?"

"You did it all to escape from marriage?" Theodore asked looking confused. The whole thing had brought so much troubles and to hear that the reason behind all this was just Draco wanting to escape from marrying seems doubtful.

"Well, I planned to inherit the Black family around next year but due to my father acting like an idiot, I had to do it early on." Draco said.

"Who did your father wanted you to marry?" Pansy asked in her normal voice.

Draco looked at her for awhile and turned his gaze away and said. "Anyway, I am sorry for asking that weird question earlier."

Pansy pouted not getting the answer but didn't say anything, she felt that she was better off not knowing the answer because she was scared that it was some other girl, she didn't know about.

Looking at the weird atmosphere, Theodore sighed and said, "You know, even if you were a dark lord, I will still follow you as long as you don't do anything annoying."

Draco looked at Theodore in surprise,

"I will too." Pansy said, "Even if you were to do something bad, I'll still follow you."

Draco turned towards Pansy who didn't back away from his gaze.

"Do you think, I'll turn into a dark lord?" Draco asked.

"Maybe." Theodore answered smirking, "But with your 'love' for muggle-borns, I am not really sure about that."

*Cough* Draco coughed awkwardly understanding the meaning in his words. "Even though I might not hate muggle-born, there is still something I want to do."

"What is it?" Pansy asked.

"Control the wizarding world or at least the one in Europe completely." Draco said looking out the window, "No matter what it takes."

"Why?" Pansy asked. "If it's just controlling the UK and Ireland then you can just be a minister, which seems much more easy."

"The minister isn't fully in control." Theodore said, "They are elected by other wizards and can get fired from their position anytime, but still why do you want the control so bad?"

"The Wizarding world is degrading day by day, look at all the stupid people around us. The world has already start to change but we wizards the more powerful and gifted than muggles are still living like we are in the medieval period, the world is passing by us and we keep sticking to same concept hiding and running from fear." Draco said.

"So you want to try changing it like Grindelwald did?" Theodore asked.

"No, something much more than that." Draco replied, "I don't really care about the International Statute of Secrecy, besides living secretly is the key we survived so long, otherwise I am sure if muggles were to really find out, we will burned on stakes for sure. What I want is revolution and for that even if have to break the code, I will."

Theodore and Pansy stayed silent.

"I don't want to rule over the muggles nor do I want to do that with wizards, what I want is the change and for me to have control over it, so there won't be any mishaps in the future." Draco said, "You can call me a dark lord for that but what I want is for our wizard community to develop and adapt to situations more quickly than before because as muggles develop more in the future, the more trouble we are likely to get in."

Draco had read the books up to the 7 years ahead in the future and after that came the book of the cursed child, but as far as Draco knew the cursed child was way too confusing and full of plot holes, not transforming in with the modern age but still sticking to same Hogwarts we love and care. This world wasn't much different from his previous world and as the technology keeps on developing the wizards have to keep on compromising. Draco had to spend his life here even after Voldemort is dead so he doesn't want to leave any regrets for the future, where he and the wizards in the future would have to struggle. As the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure.", he doesn't want to leave a liability in the future by just depending upon his knowledge in this world.

"Fine, I am with you but you have to at least keep it interesting." Theodore said, Theodore knew of the dangers that Draco was talking about. He had realized over time that with the muggle weapons defeating the wizards wasn't a big of a deal anymore. Besides even in the past where the muggle didn't have any dangerous weapons, they had still managed to capture and kill a lot of wizards.

"I have already said it but I am going to say it again, I am with you even if you want to be a dark lord." Pansy said.

Draco smiled, "You will soon understand as well, Pansy. But right now it's not the time to act yet."

"When will it be then?" Theodore asked.

"Patience." Draco said, "Right now, even if we want to do anything. Do you really think the world will follow along with what a 11 year old kid says?"

"What about Daphne?" Pansy asked, over the couple of months they have all been close friends so leaving her out of this conversation seemed weird.

"As Theodore said like Cho, Daphne has her own life and I can't ask her to believe in me blindly." Draco said. "But I am sure like you, she would understand when the time comes and follow us."

Pansy sighed and nodded. She didn't understood Draco or what he was trying to do but she didn't ask anything more.
