Hope you enjoy!

She couldn't believe what the idiots in front of her where trying to pull.

Newly turned 18-year-old Rose Marie Potter glared across the table at the people in front of her right after they had gotten done with their pompous "Speeches." She was now sickened and feeling hateful towards all of them.

Lucius Malfoy, Dolores Umbridge, former minister Fudge, and four or five of more "Important" people in the Ministry of magic were on the other side of the table all trying talk her into saying yes to a marriage contract... To Draco Malfoy. In his favor, her school rival had an apologetic look in his eyes as his father smiled like a cat the caught the canary, convinced that he now had her. Apparently the Black family and the Malfoy family had a long standing marriage contract between there two houses. Lucius and Narcissia where a happy product of that arrangement.

Now that she had just turned 18 today, Lucius was trying to activate it again. Only this time, because Rose was the Black family Heiress due to Sirius's death, it would be her that was getting married... to Draco bloody Malfoy.

Everyone around the table was getting more and more nervous as she held her glare at them. Trying to act as if half of the people in this room didn't have a great deal to gain if this arranged marriage took place... and that is exactly what it was. An arranged, Loveless marriage with a man that she could very easily said she hated. Draco had grown up in the last few years of the war, but that didn't wipe away the years of abuse she had suffered at his hands. Physical, Emotional, and Verbal. Draco had been a monster to her from day one at Hogwarts. And there was no way in hell she was going to agree to this...

So yes said the only thing that she could think to say...

"Are you all bloody fucking insane?!" She burst to the shock of everyone in the room... Well, everyone but Draco. He just winced slightly and sighed.

Rose Marie Potter then stood up from her chair and spend that next ten minutes tearing every last one of them to shreds. Next to her, her two best friends Ron, Hermione and sat, smiling knowingly as the Girl-who-lived raged on.

They stormed out of the Ministry office, Rose slamming the door open in front of her as Ron and Hermione followed right at her heels.

"Can they do this?..." She asked, as Hermione and Ron both frowned.

"Technically, no, They can't force you to walk down the isle..." Hermione started.

"BUT?..." Rose snapped, wanting her friends to get to the point.

Ron sighed. "The Malfoys lost a lot of Money and status because of the war, but they still have the ears and eyes of lots of people. In the Wizgomont, The Ministry, The Elite.. EVERYWHERE... And they DO have the long-standing marriage contract, which can complicate things... They can't force you to walk down the isle, But they can contest any other marriage contract made after theirs, stop suitors from other families from officially courting you, try to push you into it using other means... like blocking the laws and railroading the businesses you want to try and help..."

"More or less, They can't force you down the isle, but they can make your life difficult until you do..."

Rose sighed loudly as her friends both shot her sympathetic looks.

"Well, Things were never going to be easy, were they?..." She quipped, and Hermione smiled back.

"Not at all... Easy is just not our style."

That whole year, Lucius Malfoy was only a bit of a bother. He would send owls and pop up at the Ministry if he knew she was going to be there, but nothing more. Draco was apprenticing and working on his career, and only sent a Owl or two that year. One for Christmas, one for the Anniversary of the Hogwarts.

She herself had been busy. She used the Elder wand to help repair the wands that had been destroyed when Ollavander had been kidnapped. She also helped the other shops that had been destroyed re-build and replenish what they had lost by offering them long-term loans with very little or no interest back. They were all so happy and grateful that they all happily started paying her back, even if the goblins were more then a little annoyed with her for "Overstepping her bounds."

She tried 19 without much fanfair, and only a birthday greeting from Draco. She considered herself on the right road.

The next year was a bit more dramatic. The goblins were still annoyed with her, and it showed. Lucius was becoming more bold, and started showing up not when she was at the Ministry, But the Alley and Hogsmeade as well. sometimes even showing up at one or two of the shops she was helping set back up.

He started blocking her at Wizgomont meetings, and talking people into voting against the laws she was trying to pass... Including the Muggle-born protection act that her and Hermione had been working on since the end of the war to insure that no Muggleborns would ever have there wands stolen from them and locked way ever again. Rose felt that he had his own reasons for trying to block that one, but it still annoyed her.

The Women of the Elite were now turning their noses at her, and giving cutting remarks whenever they could. It was OBVIOUS to them after all, that Draco was the only man that should marry her... Even if she was just a half-blood. The private marriage contract, that somehow EVERYONE now knew about was only proof of that...

She finally decided to act in her own self-interest when she caught Lucius trying to talk to the goblins behind her back, she knew she had to do something before he caused to much damage to her, or the Shops she was trying to help. She went to Hogwarts, and went to the Room of requirement. Her goal was to get the goblin-made cup of Helga Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's Diadem, and return it as a gesture of goodwill.

She walked past the room three times thinking, "I need a place to find the lost goblin items so I can return them..." The door appeared, and she walked in... and was frozen with shock. instead of just the Cup and the Diadem, their was a large table with dozens and dozens of Goblin made items laid on top. Some swords, necklaces, a few cups, lots of rings and bracelets... Even suits of goblin made armor where standing in line in the back of the room. Rose shook her head and walked the rest of the way in as a bag appeared at the end of the table.

She filled the bag up as much as she could, and only took a set of daggers and twins blades for herself. She left the rest, including all the armor and swords, behind... Lord knows some Hogwarts students may need them one day if the castle went under attack again...

She set a meeting with the Head goblin of the bank as well as a few other important goblins beforehand. She opened the bag and handed the items to them one at a time, as respectfully as she could. The Goblins were more then shocked and surprised when Rose returned all of the contents back over to them.

The goblins were stammering and stuttering there disbelief and one even burst into tears. The head goblin himself was overcome with happiness. It turned up that by returning these lost items, she had restored the honor to a lot of goblin families, and many of the pieces had a reward tagged onto them.

By the end of the day, 3/4ths of the items had been returned to the Goblin families, and she had nearly doubled her vaults, and the 1/4th of the items that couldn't be returned due to the family having died out, she was allowed to keep. She had also earned 10 of what the goblins called "Favors" for her actions...

She had repaided the goblins for her 'Slight insult' against them, and had earned more at the same time... Needless to say, whatever plan Lucius was trying to put in motion for her with the goblins was halted quite abruptly...

She was a great friend to the goblins now, and she was very glad to have them in her corner.

When She turned 20, The goblins gave a her a Great birthday present... A Full and in-depth inheritance test, and full ownership to every Vault, Property, Magical item, and Knut that she was entitled to...

The Money went straight to repairing Hogwarts and all the Magically areas ruined by the war. By the end of the year, it was almost as if the war hadn't happened at all.

She was beyond happy.

The last year was horrible... The day after her 20th birthday she woke up to a Letter from Lucius. He more or less stated that Draco was finishing his apprenticeship this year, and he was expecting them to, If not getting married in the next few months, at the very least get "this Business" underway. That should have been a red flag that things where going to go south, But Rose simply tossed the letter in the fire and forgot about it. That was a mistake.

Lucius, Nott, and a few others where now shadowing her everywhere. Every shop she went to, every time she went to the Ministry. Nearly every meeting she went to, save the Meetings at Gringotts, She would always find one or two of them waiting outside. Arms crossed, eyes narrowed. She wasn't even safe at the Wealsey's, as Percy had gotten it in his head that it would be a good match for her. Every time see went to see George at the joke shop, one of her shadows would go into the shop with her as well.

Letters came almost every day now. Angry, demanding, barely veiled threats from Lucius. Kind, sympathetic letters from Draco. and Sweet, almost apologetic letters from Narcissia. And dozens of hateful letters, obviously from the Notts, Goyles, and other families that wanted this to happen.

The Elite were now actively ignoring her. She no longer received invites to parties and Galas like she did before, And nearly all of them quit giving to the "Magical Child Protective Services Fund", Which was the Charity fund Rose had started herself. She wrote them all off quickly. She honestly didn't need them.

After two more months of this nerve wrecking behavior, she finally snapped and went to the Ministry. She filed the proper paperwork to put a restraining order out on all of them, and she even handed over all the letters they sent, as well as a notebook with logs of when she was being followed and who or who she believed was following her. (Hermione's idea) It only made things worse...

Lucius was now bombarding her Floo everyday. Narcissia had quit writing at all. Draco's letter had changed from apologizing to near begging for her to just to say yes, and he and her would work things out between them after the wedding.

Her 'shadows' now where shoving, pushing, and scratching her while whispering obscenities at her.

When she went to a business dinner with the Grandson of Ollavander to talk to him about expanding the wand shop, they were both blindsided. He was nearly beaten while she was called a "Cheating, Half-blood whore!" and slapped onto the floor... They both got out there wands, and with the help of the restaurant owner, restrained them til Aurors arrived... Which is when she learned the restraining orders had been blocked by Lucius Malfoy. All of them. Apparently all of her "Shadows" were put in place to protect the "Future Lady Malfoy" from her enemies and scandal. He even arrived and tried to use his silver-tongue to stop his friends from getting arrested..

But Rufus, the Minister of magic and friend showed up, and knocked him down a few pegs. Rose once again had to tell everyone that she REFUSED to marry into the Malfoy family, and mad Rufus force the restraining orders into affect right away...

Nott and Goyle were arrested, and Rose left the ministry, Her faith in Magical England broken again...

But this time, She had a plan... This time, she was going to the Goblins.

And within a week, she was on a plane to a large manor in city called Gotham.
