Okay, so there was no boy who lived, voldemort thing. Just plain magic. Draco and Harry were enemies still though. I know I haven't updated my other story but I have total writers block! I just don't know what to do for it! So please, do feel free and help. I have exams soon then summer holidays so once the holidays hit, I should be updating quite regularly. YAY! Then I hit yr 12... EW.
Is this all making sense? They will be bigger eventually I just want to see whether you guys want me to continue or not?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ AND REVIEW?!
Please?
I walked up the footpath to Malfoy Manor. Grass that looked too green was on either side with white rose bushes. I cringed at the...The... Wealthy-ness of the Manor. I rang the doorbell and a house elf with rags for clothes greeted me.
"You be the new dragon tamer, sir?" She asked timidly. I smiled politely and nodded my head, "Rosie go get Master Draco for you." She disappeared into thin air with a small pop. I sighed once alone.
Here I was in my enemy's house soon to be working for him. I couldn't believe it when Malfoy had owled me the other day asking if I would work for him. He had somehow heard that I was now a magical creature tamer, specialising in dragons. He had said that he lived near woods and that there where many creatures somewhere in the depths that needed to be tamed a little. And so here I was. I don't really know why I agreed. I suppose I have always found Malfoy attractive and I could probably put up with his bratty and snarky attitude just to gaze upon him.
"Mr. Potter, please follow me into the drawing room."
It took every ounce of me not to let my jaw drop. I thought Malfoy was attractive in Hogwarts...Well, he was now god damn sex on legs! His hair was still the same colour but longer, almost reaching his shoulders. He had filled out a little in the past three years but I was still taller and more muscular than him. His face screamed aristocracy with all its pointy angles. He was beautiful. His pale skin made him look like some sort of ice angel. Not to mention the suit that hugged his lithe, feminine body. He wore no robes which was odd. Being a Malfoy, I thought he would always be in his dress robes.
I followed him into the 'drawing room.' It was just a room filled with some couches, a chess board, fireplace and a coffee table. Malfoy gestured for me to sit opposite him on a couch.
"Tea?" He gestured to the steaming pot of tea on the table between us.
I nodded. As I watched him dish out the tea I inspected his ivory face. Upon a closer look, you could tell he was stressed and tired. He had big bags under his eyes, his silver orbs were sad and his back was tense. I could think of some things to loosen the Malfoy up. No, I CANNOT think like that. And I wouldn't think like that...
DRACO
Merlin Potter hadn't changed. He was still as handsome as ever. As much as I tried to convince myself that it no longer existed, my school boy crush for the dark haired man was still present. His hair was still dark, thick and looked like he had just been shagged. His skin was tan and his hands were course with hard work. I could imagine what those hands would feel like going gliding across my smooth chest but NO. I was not going to. His emerald eyes were still dazzling but still behind those horrid spectacles. If only he would fix his damn eyesight. As I poured the tea I slightly lifted my eyes up and let them wonder over his body. The shirt he was wearing was dark gray, with a black scarf draped over his shoulders, and very well fitting. It showed off his broad shoulders and obviously strong build from all his training. His wore a pair of dark jeans that matched his top. He looked good. Very good.
"Can I take your scarf?" I asked politely and held out my hand. Potter looked confused and then smiled down at his scraf.
"Uh, it's not a scarf Malfoy..." He looked up at me with his green eyes and smirked. I blushed and sat back down, "It's my snake, Lily." Potter nudged the jet black snake with his finger. It moved and I gave an embarrassing yelp. He looked up at me and laughed while 'Lily' opened her eyes to reveal yellow small orbs. She looked at me critically and hissed in Potter's ears. He chuckled and hissed back.
Oh Merlin. Kill me now! Parslemouth!? I bit the inside of my mouth to bite back my groan. Yellow and green eyes looked stared at me.
"Snake issues Malfoy?"
"No." I scowled and sipped my tea burning my tongue in the process, "So, ignoring your snake scarf, let us get down to business." Potter nodded before I continued, "You will live in the West Wing which is facing the woods where you will work. Breakfast is served at 9 and dinner at 7. There is a small cottage out the back with equipment, if you need more, please do not hesitate to ask. Like I said in my letter, the creatures have been getting a little out of hand lately since our old tamer passed away. I trust you know what you are doing Potter. One more thing, the house is warded so ever in danger run or apparate to here and the creatures are unable to get to you. The Manor wards have been altered to allow you in so you shall be safe. Anything else?"
Potter merely nods. I give him a tour of the Manor before showing him to his room.
"This is the West Wing, so virtually, your wing. You are free to do whatever you wish...Invite whoever you wish...Just please do keep Lily under control."
At the mention of her name, the snake peers up at me and hisses something. Potter pats her soothingly and nods towards me.
"Thanks, Malfoy."
"Please, Harry, call me Draco." He looks at me in shock and I roll my eyes, "You do work for ME now." I smirk and walk back to my office.
