(This is a sequel to 'The consequences of being late'. It's another short chapter. I hope you guys enjoy reading it.

The characters belong to J K Rowling, but the plotline is mine.)

Once outside the classroom Hermione started giggling in shock. She couldn't believe she'd just done that. She couldn't believe she'd just enjoyed having sex with Lucius Malfoy! She also couldn't believe she'd offered to do it again. Nonetheless, she knew he'd ignore the offer, and if he didn't, she'd have to retreat it.

Hermione wandered out of the Dungeons up to the Great Hall for lunch because her Potions lesson had been a double, meaning lunchtime came straight after it. That made it most convenient for Lucius and his little punishment. Hermione shook her head at the memory, a slight smile tugging at her lips.

Inside the classroom Lucius was leaning back on his chair, hands behind his head, legs propped on his desk. A smug grin covered his face. He'd finally got his revenge on the little mudblood; something he'd wanted to do since his son first told him about her. Of course, once he'd gotten down to the actual act, it was less about revenge and more about his own personal gain. She had felt fantastic. What's more, she'd offered to do it again. Lucius grinned even wider.

Hermione entered the Great Hall and saw her friends, still eating. She smiled and walked over, sitting down.

"Hey 'Mione, glad you made it. Lunch time is almost over. You've only got about fifteen minutes to eat. Malfoy kept you long didn't he?" Said Ron. "What did he do anyway, give you a detention, take points or make you clean out the cauldrons or something?"

"Oh, he gave me a lecture on being punctual." Hermione replied, blushing slightly.

"That's all? Woah, you got off lightly!" Ron exclaimed, going back to his food. Hermione started serving herself from delicious lunch as Harry watched her closely.

"Anything wrong Harry?" Hermione asked as she began to eat.

"No, nothing. You just look a little flushed, that's all." Harry commented, grinning. "Almost like…well…like you like someone." Harry glanced around the great hall as if looking for the culprit who Hermione had a crush on.

"Harry!" Hermione exclaimed rather loudly. "I don't like anyone in that way. I'm flushed because I'm warm, and still embarrassed from the telling off I received."

"Alright." Harry shrugged, although he and Ron were grinning to themselves. Hermione ate her lunch, ignoring them for their immaturity. As she and her friends got up to leave she noticed someone entering the Great Hall from the side door to eat at the Staff table.

After sitting in that position for just under five minutes, Lucius had gotten up, placed the memory inside his personal pensieve and then headed up to have his lunch in the last ten remaining minutes of lunch time. Upon entering the Great Hall from the staff's side door his eyes flickered to the Gryffindor table. His piercing gaze met Hermione's. She blushed and turned from him. Lucius grinned sardonically as he sat down to eat.

Hermione's eyes looked at the table and met Lucius. Oh god, he looked right at her! She turned away, back to her friends.

"Come on, let's go. We've only got a few minutes to get to Charms." Hermione practically dragged her friends out of the hall.

The three of them walked steadily to charms which they shared with the Hufflepuffs. The lesson went smoothly and Hermione completely forgot about her morning activities with her Potions teacher. Following Charms the boys had Divination, so off they went, whilst Hermione had a free period. She headed for the library to study so that she wouldn't have to do as much this evening; now that lessons for the day were almost over. Over for her at least

Once in the library Hermione wandered over to the Charms section to find a book to help her with her essay that Professor Flitwick had just set.

Thirty minutes into her work Hermione was so absorbed she didn't notice the person approaching her from behind until they're placed a hand around her mouth and grabbed her around the waist with a strong arm; dragging her out of her chair and into an empty, secluded aisle. She tried to scream but the hand blocked out the sound.

"Silence, Miss Granger, or you'll alert Miss Pince to our goings on and we can't have that now can we…you don't want to be banned from the library do you?" a silky voice asked. Hermione involuntarily shivered. The hand was removed.

"No, Professor, I don't want that. Now, why did you drag me in such a ferocious manner, may I ask?" Hermione inquired.

"For excitement. Now, stop talking." Lucius cast a silencing charm on Hermione. Hermione's hand went up to her throat in surprise. She opened her mouth and screamed, but nothing came out. She furrowed her brow and pouted at Lucius. He smirked. "Excellent. I've finally shut up Hogwarts little miss know-it-all." Hermione pretended to look upset, but that provoked no reaction from Lucius. "I have come to talk to you about this morning. Now that you are unable to talk, it will be a lot easier to talk. So, listen to me as I won't repeat myself." Lucius suddenly grabbed Hermione and sat her up on one of the lower shelves that lacked books. She was unable to make a noise due to the charm, but if she'd been able to, she would have surely yelped. "Firstly, you are to speak of this morning to no-one. Secondly, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, as did you, so I would like to do it again. As a result, I'm offering you the opportunity to be my little toy as it were. You'll be supplied with everything you need as a result of your services, which of course will be catering to my own physical needs and the needs of any others that I require you to please. I will give you gifts, clothes, money…whatever you need." He watched Hermione's reaction as he told her his idea. She looked shocked and appalled. "I won't remove the charm just yet, but will soon. Thirdly, I just need to add that if you do take up this offer, you'll be protected from the Dark Lord. You will not be betraying your friend, Saint Potter, but by being mine," Lucius smirked at that "you will not be killed by the Dark Lord. Basically, he will overlook your heritage if you choose to serve me sexually." Lucius paused. "Now, I'm going to remove the charm. You are not to scream or speak. You are only allowed to utter a single word; either yes or no. Do you understand?" Hermione nodded. Lucius smiled, a genuine smile, and raised his wand; removing the charm.

"Yes." The single word left Hermione's mouth. Lucius would have cheered if he wasn't in the middle of a library and if it wasn't such a un-Malfoy thing to do. Lucius kissed Hermione on the mouth, and she returned it immediately. Lucius moaned lightly, before pulling back.

"Excellent. You've made the right choice. I expect to see you in my classroom at eight o'clock this evening. You can tell your idiotic friends you got a detention." Lucius stroked Hermione's cheek. "You'll start your training this evening."

"Training! What do you mean training?" Hermione asked. Lucius raised a finger to her mouth.

"Shh, shh. All will be revealed this evening. You'll just have to wait until then. Once you know the rules, you'll have to abide by them if you don't want to be punished. You won't know the rules until eight o'clock this evening. Patience my dear, patience." Said Lucius as he kissed Hermione once more, and then disappeared, leaving Hermione sat on the shelf in the book aisle, an inquisitive look on her face.
