Here's the next chapter. Read and Review, Love Hannah x

Delores Umbridge was in her office when word of Harry Potters inheritance had reached her from somewhere. She snapped a few pencils in rage and then become pissed as she now didn't even have order in her office anymore. She'd suggested this marriage law to entrap him in a life of married misery and he'd left the country before it could be imposed so now, he was free in America. She would make it her personal mission to find him and drag him back to the UK so he could suffer like everyone else. He was meant to suffer the most and he didn't get to escape the little fucking prick. She packed her bags and flooed to the international floo port in America. It would take her months to find him but she would do so and he'd be very sorry he ever crossed Delores. Meanwhile back at the castle they entered the room to find the same layout as it had previously the only difference was that at either side of the stairs there was now one door for each bedroom spread apart instead of them being side by side.

Hermione admired the room and was about to proceed when a letter arrived for her surprising everyone present. She opened it and it read:

Dear Miss Granger,

We are writing to you from the bank and we apologise it couldn't have been sooner however we did have many other things to process before we reached your request. We are aware that you did not put in a request but once your test was done a request was automatically requested for you as it was for each student. Included in this letter you will see a key as you actually have a vault in this bank from which you are inheriting. Your late relative Harrison Dagworth Granger decreed that when he died his vault was to go to any relatives if he ever had any and now, we've discovered you. The vault contains fourteen million galleons in comparison with the fifty or so other vaults here have. Inside the vault asides from money you will find keys to Granger Falls a manor in the Yorkshire Dales, twenty bags of various jewels, a library worth of dark arts books and Herbology manuals, an armoury for weapons and everything related to potioneering you could possibly need. We wish you well and also in the envelope is the ring of that family which we will be requesting that you wear from now on. Once you wear it you will automatically gain a mastery in potions as do all people from that line. With your funds in this account you will never need to work a day in your life. We will be amalgamating your own account with this new one so the key will be suitable for all of your own money. In your normal account you had ten thousand galleons saved up there. We sincerely hope you enjoy this account and thank you for your continued custom.

Signed Gringotts Bank, London.

She read the letter and cried. She had always been so into studying to get a job and be financially secure and here was this account now telling her she was already financially secure. Her head spun. It almost meant that all of her years of extreme worrying were unnecessary which she severely resented now. She would still try her best in school and was relieved that she would not have to worry about her finances any longer. She went upstairs and looked at her room. Inside was a black king size four poster bed with scarlet sheets and curtains and a nice silk dark blue bed spread on it. Surprisingly the colours went well together. It was late now and they both needed to sleep. She slipped into the large ensuite to change into her pyjamas. She was currently wearing some pants and a long-sleeved top with a dressing gown and slippers on. On her head she had an eye mask as she always used one when sleeping. Darius was busy thinking of what he should wear to bed. As Harry he'd always worn full pyjamas but didn't feel like doing that now. Harry had never had much of anything to call his own so style never mattered to him however it did matter now.

He opted to wear a pair of black silk pyjama bottoms and nothing on, on top. He could see that his great physique from Quidditch had transferred to Darius with him from Harry. He had muscles but they were not bulging or anything like that. He just had a slight six back and great neck and shoulder muscles. He saw Hermione and groaned slightly. She was so sexy and the tightness around the ass of her pants did not go unnoticed. It was strategically designed to look boring unless you were paying attention to her fully as it accentuated her bottom and her boobs at the front. They weren't massive just medium sized. Her normal clothing made them honestly seem to appear smaller but he still liked them very much. He moved his head as his hair moved out of his face and smiled at her making her blush.

"So, Hermione what did your letter say? I'm just being nosy and you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" he said as she smiled further.

"Here you go read it!" she handed it to him to read which he did gasping.

"Hermione this is fantastic. I'm so delighted for you. I don't wish for you to take this the wrong way but I think you having your own financial independence as well as the financial support you get when with me will be great. I just don't wish you to feel like you always need to ask me for money when we're married. If you need money take it and buy whatever you like. Our inheritance tests did have different results despite us being twins and I inherited from the Black family line which Draco did not. That can sometimes happen. As a consequence, whatever you spend could never put a dent in my funds. Basically, you can never spend too much of my money. I hope I've not offended you!" he said as she regarded him suspiciously about the Black money. However, she remembered Sirius telling her they were related before she'd just forgotten about it. Darius however had the Potter money moved from that into another new account under the Malfoy name and his Black account was separated. Essentially, he was the tenth richest person in their world right now and was so excited about it.

"It's ok you haven't offended me one bit. How do you really feel about marrying me?" she asked him as she climbed into the bed beside him turning on her side to face him.

"I genuinely feel excited and scared. I'm excited because you're the most beautiful woman in the world and incredibly sexy if I do say so myself. I am however scared that I won't be good enough for you. I truly hope I can give you whatever it is you need whenever you need it. If you don't tell me don't expect me to get it right. I can't read your mind. How do you feel about marrying me?" he said as she smiled.

"That was indeed very honest and you don't need to worry about being good enough for me. To be totally honest Ron's outburst earlier has surprised me greatly. I had no idea he loved me and I don't understand how to feel about it. I know great surprise for once in her damn life Hermione Granger doesn't have the answers. I'm so sorry it's just if I ever thought he'd say something I never would have guessed that he'd say what he did say. I meant what I said he either apologises to you or he can forget about me. I've had enough of his temper tantrums. I think you're gorgeous and much better looking than Malfoy and that does say something as he's not bad looking. In fact, I've never thought he was bad looking. Sick at times yes but bad looking no" she said as he smiled at her making the butterflies in her tummy dance harder.

He didn't want to have to ask her if he could do things so he would proceed to do them unless she said otherwise. "Goodnight Hermione!" he said leaning in and capturing her lips in a soft kiss his lips gently sliding over hers in a sensual fashion. She tensed at the contact eventually relaxing. She sighed as he swiped his tongue along her bottom lip begging for access which she granted as she leaned over further fisting his hair in her hands. Soon enough they had moved so that she was still kissing his brains out only now she was on his lap as he palmed her arse through her pants and made her moan even further. Hermione sighed as a sort of lust fuelled fog crept over her mind. He was so sexy and she was losing herself in the moment something which never happened to her. Usually she thought everything through and so she never ever got lost in the moment. She actually felt slight sadness at this moment as she realised, she'd never let go and lived thoroughly before. There was something to be said about saying to hell with it and throwing the proverbial rule book away.

He moved on down to her neck licking and sucking on all of the special spots of it making her moan. Nothing had ever felt this good. Everything felt heady and she was lost in his scent. As his hands crept upwards and landed on her top slipping underneath to caress her belly gently, she exhaled loudly feeling all her stress melt away. She'd never felt this relaxed and that said something about her she wasn't comfortable with. Had she always been so stressed and uptight. She resented Harry for leaving her and felt heartbroken about it. She was having this beautiful moment and he would never experience it with her. Suddenly she found herself crying great sobbing tears as she clung to Darius for dear life.

"Hermione what is it? Are you ok?" he asked as he rubbed in soothing circles on her back.

"I'm so sorry. I loved what we were doing but I miss Harry so much. He bailed on us all and I severely resent him for that. Like why wasn't I enough or important enough to him to tell me that he was leaving. Yes, I would have freaked at him for doing so but I would have also been able to say goodbye. He'll never get to experience these feelings in my presence and I really miss that however he could have been gay I don't know" she said sniffling as Darius almost choked in shock. Harry was most certainly never gay.

"You know I met him once. He actually drove me mad because while it was an honour to meet him, he wouldn't shut up about someone by the name of Cho Chang asking if I even knew her which I didn't. He said she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life and that if he were able to date her, he would have been the luckiest guy in the world. He was wrong however I didn't tell him that!" he said as she scowled.

"In what way was he wrong and I didn't know he met you but then again he didn't always tell me everything he did! Was he surprised by who you were?" she said as he smiled at her.

"He was wrong because I have the most beautiful girl in the world here with me now and he doesn't. Yes, he was but was more surprised by how normal I am. I am not a drama queen like Draco and he thought I would be" he said as she sighed leaning into his neck and inhaling his scent feeling relaxed once again.

"Why do you resent Harry so much?" he asked as she stiffened and then relaxed again.

"I resent him because without giving too much information away during the war we went away in a tent. Harry, Ron and myself were all there and during that time things got heated and Ron abandoned us when I needed him the most. I was so torn up it's not even funny. Harry was there for me in a time when no one else was and now he's left it feels like Ron leaving all over again!" she said as he grew angry indeed. Ron had left because he'd been a selfish git more interested in his own needs then those of others. Harry had 'left' to find a better family because he needed one. He thought about things and thought he'd ask Dumbledore if he could tell her the truth tomorrow then again, he might just tell anyway.

"I'm sure Harry had a good reason for leaving. After all he did leave to find a family of his own which is what he's always wanted. I hardly find that selfish. Yes, it's hard to take and should have been done with more tact but surely you want him to be happy" he said as she sighed once again.

"Yes, I do but it's just so hard. Oh, Darius thank you so much for listening to me mope and whine you've been so great. I'm sorry for ruining the moment. It seems I always do that whether it's someone else's fun or indeed my own. I must learn to not do that in future."

"You must learn not to overthink things is what you must do. I will always be here to listen to you. You didn't ruin anything. How could you?" he said as she giggled slightly shifting around on his lap but stopped as she felt something very hard on her thigh. Suddenly it was like she was on fire. She had done this to him and there was something very satisfying about that. She had the sudden urge to lord over him the fact that she'd made him so impossibly hard but refrained from doing so. She returned her lips to his and smiled as he returned her kiss with such urgency it shocked her. Still grasping at her belly, he began to massage it and slipped slowly upwards to caress the underside of her breasts as she moaned. She was technically a virgin although she'd used her toy on herself many times so couldn't be sure if that was actually true or not. Glancing at her eyes for permission she nodded slightly and threw her head back as his hands finally slipped upwards grasping her full globes and squeezing gently. He ran both fingers over her nipples loving how they felt in his hands.

When he looked back up her eyes had darkened several shades. He leaned in once again tasting her lips and decided to gently squeeze and tweak her nipples make her cry out slightly in pleasure. She was actually getting impatient and wanted him to continue and then blushed at the thoughts she was having. He however was enjoying exploring her. As he slid down pushing her so she was lying down and he was hovering over her with her legs spread apart. He shimmied her pants down bringing her underwear with it. He leaned in, inhaling her scent and used his tongue to confidently flick out and lap at her core. He was looking more confident then he was feeling that's for sure but he couldn't show it lest he actually look weak. It was unbecoming for a Malfoy to ever appear weak even if he was. Hermione had never felt something that amazing in her life. He darted his tongue in and out of her pussy for ages and then remembered what he'd read in that book Ron had been unsuccessfully trying to hide.

He moved his tongue slightly upwards in search of something which should feel like a button to him. He flicked it and she mewled loudly grabbing his hair roughly. She began grinding her face into him and called out when he hit the perfect spot at the prefect moment. "oh yes I'm going to come oh Darius!" she called out stilling and shaking as he drank her essence in and rose up once more to witness her still shaking from her orgasm. As she looked into his eyes, she could see nothing but raw passionate feelings in them. He truly did want to please her and please her he had. She blushed and then found more confidence as she gently pushed him backwards so he could lie down and she could get up. Readjusting herself she slid down his body taking his now exposed member in her hands and squeezing it making him grunt. As she moved her hands up and down squeezing it some more, he let out an unintelligible stream of curse words as she rolled her eyes. She truly did hate cursing but would let it slide during sexual encounters! She lowered herself breathing up and down his length and licking from end to tip several times before he groaned that she wasn't moving fast enough however his argument died in his throat as she sucked him in.

She moved up and down quickly sucking firmly on his member as she brought her hands down and felt around for his prostate and began to massage it gently as he shocked them both by suddenly exploding. Neither of them had seen it coming and as he fell back onto the bed his breathing laboured, she looked over to see he looked very sad.

"Darius what is it?" she said as he sighed deeply.

"I simply can't do this anymore. I have a confession to make and I need you to give me a vow which states that what I say next will stay between us only!" he said as she looked confused but complied giving the vow anyway.

"I lied to you today and for that I can but ask your forgiveness. I asked Dumbledore to lie for me and he did so as I couldn't risk the heartbreak which would come from loosing friends. Whenever things have gotten tough everyone has always abandoned me and I couldn't take the rejection. Ron proved today that unfortunately I was right about being judged and abandoned by my friends. I was so scared of being rejected I only thought of him knowing he'd react badly and chose to get Dumbledore to lie for me. He prejudged me something that's happened to him his whole life. I thought he'd have learned that it's not ok to do that now but he didn't. The truth is I love you with all of my heart and I can't keep lying to you about this. I can only ask that you don't hate me too much. Please view this memory in my pensive!" he said extracting the memory and placing it into a vial while she looked at him uncertainly.

She went over to the pensive pouring the memory in and proceeded to watch it. She emerged minutes later shocking him by racing over to him and slapping him hard in the face.

"HOW DARE YOU? I can't believe you'd ever do this to me! I don't know what hurts more the fact that you lied or the fact you'd thought I'd ever behave like Ron. Even I can see Ron was wrong and unfortunately you were right about him but we're not all like him least of all me. You're an idiot and no I don't hate you so shut up! I couldn't hate you if I tried because I love you too but I am seriously disappointed in you. You do however have a point with peoples' views of you changing to suit them of the current circumstance all the time. I am at least relieved you didn't leave me like Ron did in the tent. Can I ask you did all of Harry's memories and feelings come with you when you changed? Did you get a different personality too or do you know?" she asked him as she sat beside him.

"I feel everything he did however I now find myself more able to express my feelings then I was back then. For example, he couldn't tell you he's been in love with you for three years but terrified to act on it in case he lost Ron as a friend who also felt the same way. I could tell Ron felt the same way but not for the right reasons. I mean he wanted you to say you were his and no one else could have his little slice of perfection. He believed he loved you dearly but he loved the idea of having you more. What with Ron's tantrums he was always having I knew if I ever told you he wouldn't want to be my friend anymore and I might lose you as a friend as well. I couldn't risk losing you as a friend too. The Dursleys never wanted me to have friends and so until I came to school, I never had any friends. I wasn't about to lose the only friends I'd ever had!" he said passionately as she cried and clung to him smothering his faces in kisses.

She was still angry with him for making her believe he'd gone and abandoned her but he'd loved her for three years and it didn't get better then that really. "I will forgive you but you Mr Malfoy are going to have earn it!" she snapped as she kissed his lips and smirked taking her clothes off before him as he instantly hardened proclaiming she was going for a shower alone. This was torture as he watched her retreating figure knowing he deserved it. She hoped in the shower feeling elated. He'd lied to her yes but he'd actually loved her. She'd always thought herself below him in that regard. She scrubbed her skin and thought deeply about Ron. Why could he never understand that judging the book by the cover was never a good thing. He'd been judged his whole life surely, he'd know how bad it would feel. Harry had screwed up in a different way and in a way for slightly right reasons as she could really empathise with why he'd done it. That didn't make it ok but she did at least understand. She sauntered back into the room after shower feeling horny as hell and slipped into the bed beside a hard Harry wishing him goodnight and turning away from him feeling very unfulfilled.
