Draco paused and thought about what he was doing. This was supposed to have been a game, a bit of fun, a chance to try out The Boy Who Lived And Became A Very Shaggable Man.
It wasn't.
That this solution had even come to mind told him that much.
"In the old forms there is such a thing as a consort," he finally said. "It's mostly not done now because lovers are easier, but it's still a respected tradition."
"And what does that mean exactly?" Harry asked.
Draco breathed deeply, what he was about to admit made him vulnerable.
Title: Advent12 - The Pureblood Solution
Summary: Draco explains what he's talking about.

"Our world recognised a long time ago that not everyone was attracted to the opposite sex," Draco found the need to explain.
"Repression worked for Muggles, why not us?"
Draco glared at being interrupted.
"Because repression tends to twist a person's magic and we do not need more Dark Lords running around," he said.
"Yes, we have enough of those anyway."
It was hard to argue with that point.
"But for pureblood families, heirs are very important, so they came up with a solution: A marriage contract which is only about children and the position of consort, which definitely isn't."
