Hermione gasped for air as it was forced out of her lungs with a subtle blow to the gut.

She wouldn't be working for his parents? Maybe she would and they just weren't there…

But then again, who would she rather work for?

Draco's father had been in Azkaban prison for quite some time now and was scheduled for life, and according to rumors Draco's mother was rather nice. But then again, Hermione had heard that she had found a new lover named Nelson who was more evil and narcissistic than Luscious or Draco could ever be… What if he was in charge of her? What would she…..

"You insolent little mudblood I said get your fucking ass over here!" Yelled Draco as Hermione continued in her own fantasy world. The butler had left her and he had been talking to her for all of about 2 minutes when he realized she wasn't listening.

"EXCUSE ME!" she yelled back as he brought her out of her thoughts with his snotty remark. She may be working for him but she was not his lesser. "Listen here you pompous prick! I may be working for you but I am not BELOW you. If you want me to treat you with any respect at all, I will be given respect. Do I make myself clear?!"

"You ARE below me you pathetic fucking maid. You are not worthy to lick the bottom of my shoes you disgusting, filthy,"

Before Draco could finish his statement Hermione dropped her bag and swung her arm out to slap him. Caught off guard at the sheer speed of her movement, it landed harshly across his left cheek, turning his head with a snap. Before Hermione had time to pull away Draco grabbed her by the arms and slammed her against the wall holding her down with his body with her hands held firmly above her head.

Hermione's heart was pounding…She shouldn't have done that…. Draco was going to kill her and her family wouldn't have any help with the bills….

Draco looked down to see Hermione with her eyes closed and mouthing, "I'm Sorry" silently as a teardrop rolled down her cheek and fell softly upon her bosom which was firmly pressed against him. It was then that he began to realize how the position looked…and he could feel his body reacting. Pulling away slightly he grabbed her head roughly with his hand and brought her up to face him…

Hermione could feel his hot breath on her lips as he began to speak. He was so close to her that their lips brushed against one another's before he pulled away even more but still remaining close enough that she couldn't escape. His grip on her hands was beginning to hurt.

"I am only going to say this once so listen up. You belong to me and you will obey everything I say. I will speak to you as I please and treat you however it is that I please. I will be given the respect I deserve. You will do as I say no matter the circumstance and you will do it with a fucking smile do you fucking understand me?"

"Malfoy…you're hurting me…"

"Answer my fucking question." He ordered as he tightened her grip once again and pressed harder against her. Not in that way people

"No Malfoy…I understand that I am to serve you and I will obey but you are not going to treat me like dirt. I will treat you the respect you feel you deserve if you give me the respect I feel I deserve. I am already reduced to serving you…do not do this Malfoy…"

"What is this I hear? Are you trying to bargain with me mudblood?!" he asked in shock as he released her from his iron grip and backed up towards the seat…. "I do no bargain Granger."

"Malfoy, I am going to be here for a very long time. I do not want constant bickering and fighting. I wish to do my job with as little interference and complications as I can. Please"

Draco let out a small growl before his face suddenly curled into a smirk.

"If you will call me Master, I shall call you Granger." Her mouth dropped open as she heard him. Was he insane?

"There is no way in hell I am going to call you master. And I HAVE a name Malfoy."

"As do most. But you will call me Master or the deal is off."

"What deal?!?!?!?"

"You will obey me, call me Maser and give me respect…and I shall not complicate things. You will receive 3 meals a day, clothing, accommodations and you shall be called-"

"Hermione."

"What?"

"I wish to be called Hermione. Not Granger, not mudblood, muggle born, bookworm, nothing but Hermione."

Draco stalled for a moment. He had never actually called her that. It was so formal. H only called his friends by their first names….and even that was rare. Deciding it was his best choice if he wanted her to go obey and behave…he sighed and agreed.

"Your room is the one next door, you will find your clothing prepared for you and then you will proceed to the bathroom to bathe, dress and report to dinner. I will pick you up at 6 sharp."

"I already have clothing…"

"You will not wear that." He said, eyeing her with disgust as he looked her over. Muggle fashions. She had on a pair of light blue jeans that fit her slightly big she hadn't been eating enough lately and a gray Abercrombie sweater Harry had bought her for her birthday two years ago.

Knowing she wasn't going to win, and not bothering to argue she turned to pick up her stuff when Draco suddenly halted her.

"Hand it over."

"Hand what over? My luggage?"

"Your wand."

"What?! No way in hell! I need it."

"You are to do everything in this house by hand."

"But what about things for myself."

"No!"

"Can I at least keep it then if I don't use it?"

"If by the end o the month I see you have been behaving, I will return it to its rightful owner."

"Malfoy-"

"Master."

"Please?"

"No."

Knowing she was losing again, she pulled her wand out and reluctantly handed it over, forcing him to pull it harshly from her as she wouldn't let go.

"Good girl. Now go bathe. You stink."

MALFOY was getting on her last nerves as she slammed the door violently behind her…

She turned around to see a dark figure down the corridor walking towards her.

Quickly fumbling for the handle to her door she found it and went to turn it when the figure called out, "Hey you? Are you with the new servant?"

"I am sir." She replied with a pang in her chest.

The figure smirked wickedly as he pulled out from beneath the shadows. "I am Nelson."
