Warrior
The next morning sounds of a tapping noise at the balcony window woke me up. Draco's spot next to me was empty, but still slightly warm, indicating that he had been up for a little while. I could hear the sound of water running in the bathroom letting me know where he was.
Blinking to adjust my focus, I sighed and opened the balcony door. A barn owl flew in and landed on the bedside table, sticking its legs out expectantly. Once I paid, it flew out and I unrolled the daily prophet, although a few pages in I pulled out the handwritten page of parchment from Liam, detailing us with Selwyn's movement in the last 12 hours. Looked as though he attacked in the outskirts of Sicily last night. Burning the note I sat down and started flicking through the paper.
There was a small article reminding people not to approach Mya and Daniel Roberts if seen (yeah right) and a whole lot of unimportant stuff like the new cauldron that had been approved to be made thicker- no doubt Percy Weasley's doing.
Although in the gossip section was a photo of Malfoy and I grabbing hands and apparating just outside the gates of Hogwarts last night. The title read 'Slytherin between the bushes'. How original. It then went on about our secret affair and blah, blah, blah. I left the paper on the table and heard the water turn off in the bathroom. Fifteen minutes later a sandy blonde haired, blue eyed, tanned skin god walked out of the bathroom. He looked good... really good.
I was brought out of my ogling when Ron snored loudly, rolled over and scratched his ass. Charming. And to think, I kissed him.
"OH this is too good to pass up" Malfoy muttered, walking over to Harry and Ron's bed, grabbing Ron's hand and placing it over Harry's family jewels, then grabbing Harry's hand and placing it on Ron's backside. Smirking he looked over at me, but his face lit up like a christmas tree when Harry and Ron snuggled closer to each other. I snorted and made my way into the bathroom.
When I finally came out of the bathroom, this time with light brown hair and dark brown eyes, Harry and Ron had awoken and were grumbling to themselves while sending annoyed glances at each other. Malfoy hid his amusement by going through some notes that were at least three months old.
"Do you believe this crap" Ron said, pointing at the open newspaper, about me and Malfoy.
"Yep" Malfoy said simply
"Hermione told us that nothing was going on between the two of them, Hermione wouldn't lie"
"It's part of her job, of course she lies"
"She's an unspeakable, she can't tell us anything, thats not lying"
"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are not unspeakables-"
"Daniel" I shot his way, but he ignored me
"They are our informants, we know them probably better than you do,and their relationship has been going on a lot longer than people know. Not that it's any of your business" he said looking back at his outdated notes
"It is our business, she's our best friend, and we need to advise her that she can't date him" Harry said. I could see Malfoy tense up with anger, he was about to snap and it wouldn't be pretty
"Potter" I said calmly "imagine that you were in Hermione's situation. Imagine that Ginny was a former death eater and that because of that society didn't think that you should be together and that your so called friends would try and break you up with her, just because they didn't like him. If you were really Hermione's friend, then you would just want her to be happy and get over the past. Just think about it, having to act like there was nothing going on when you were in public, lying to your friends. Its not nice is it?"
"Why do you care so much?" Ron asked
"They've done a lot for us" Draco smirked, coming to stand next to me "and plus, we went through the same thing". They were silent for a while and we started moving about, packing all our things up and checking out
There were two other guests living in Sicily that were probably going to be attacked sometime today. The wards to their houses were very weak and easy to get into. Hiding ourselves in a bush under a window to a main room, we got s comfortable as we could to be kept from being seen.
"So when he arrives, what are we going to do?" Harry asked.
"You" Malfoy pointed to Harry and Ron "will stay here, anyone see's either of you and the whole thing will be ruined. Me and Herm- Mya will go in, tie him up, bring him out, get you two dunderheads and then apparate back to the ministry.
"But you can't apparate into to the ministry" Ron stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"I repeat again, our magic is much stronger than yours, so yes, we can apparate into the ministry. If the situation ever arose we could apparate into Hogwarts." Malfoy snapped quickly
We waited for hours, sitting in silence. Using advanced legillimency, Malfoy would talk to me and plant images of us having sex in various places. Our desks at work, Kingsley's office, against the door in my apartment, just to name a few
"At around six o'clock in the evening, there was a commotion within the house. Yelling and then the tell tale flashes of light as people threw curses around carelessly. Quickly applying anti- apparition wards up so he couldn't escape, we ran inside the house, after warning Harry and Ron not to move.
When we made our way into the main hall, we changed our appearances to look like what the media had portrayed us to look like
"Excuse me" I said loudly walking towards the commotion
"Can I help you?" Snarled Selwyn
"Maybe" Malfoy smiled very cheerfully "We're Mya and Daniel Robert's, we just came to take you into the ministry" he answered.
"Im going no where with you. I know who you are, you're those English good- doers.
"We also stole that butt ugly cup of yours" I smiled sweetly
"You?" He asked incredulously
"Us" I smiled, he raised his wand, but it flew out of his hand and into Malfoy's when he clicked his fingers.
"Don't test us" Malfoy said, as if he were speaking to a child, then he sent a wandless stupefy at him
"Well that was anti-climatic" I mumbled as we picked him up, an arm over each of our shoulders and we dragged him back outside.
"Lets go" we said to Harry and Ron, who looked at us hesitantly
"Let's not wait for the werewolves to howl" Malfoy drawled
Once again we apparated back to the ministry. Many people were leaving since it was almost six here. Since we were still in our well known persona's, everybody looked, gaping at us as we walked towards the lifts.
Security was about to ask us for our wands when Harry shook his head and pushed him back. The atrium had gone silent
"Well what do you know" Malfoy's voice echoed off the walls "You are useful for something" Ron breathed out heavily, something he did when he was annoyed as we stepped into an empty lift. The journey to Kingsley's office was kept in silence
Kingsley's assistant had left for the day and when we knocked on Kingsley's office door, we got no response. We opened the door and was met with an empty desk and a dark room. Sighing, we walked in, dumped Selwyn in the corner, then Malfoy pulled me on to his lap in Kingsley's office chair. Pulling our left sleeves up, I saw the tattoo that was permanently etched onto our skin.
The white ink wasn't very noticeable on our skin, but it read 'Bellator' in cursive writing, which meant warrior in Latin. It worked very similar to the dark mark, except it wasn't the definition of dark magic. It wasn't painful when it was put on out skin, and it was only ever used to summon anyone part of out division
Once our fingers pressed on the tattoo, the white ink turned black before fading again
"Whats that?" Harry asked
"Pass" Malfoy muttered, leaning back in the chair, pulling me with him so that my head was resting on his shoulder.
Not even a minute later, Kingsley came through the fireplace in his office followed shortly after Liam and Mike. It was silent for a moment before Mike assessed Selwyn in the corner.
"Clear" Mike said, simply meaning that it was definitely Selwyn ad not an someone who had taken polyjuice potion.
"Good job once again" Kingsley smirked
"Did you ever doubt us? You wound me" I mocked
"Just an automatic response, and as always I expect a report on my desk tomorrow, now if you don't mind, my dinner at home is awaiting"
"What do you mean, report on my desk- you work for the ministry" Ron said loudly
"Wow Weasley, you finally worked it out- but yes we are ministry officials who normally live a very boring life in the departments"
"Stop!" Kingsley ordered
"Why? you let them in on this, you sent them along with us- I thought this was supposed to be a top secret organisation, no body can know but the people involved, isn't that what you said when you recruited us, that the department would shut down. It's bad enough that you keep encouraging the media. But of course Potter and his pathetically useless sidekick get exactly what they want when we have been doing their job that the rest of the Auror department are unable to do because you won't give them the jurisdiction. So if anyone her should stop, it should be you Kingsley! A lot of people had to fight to get where they are today, but thats shoved to the side so that these two can get whatever they want handed to them on a silver platter. You let them in, you risked our real identities and the whole operation will be bust if they open their mouths, which we know they will because they can't keep anything a secret, not one this big. But you know what, since they're already in on it, why don't we just share who we really are?" By this time the whole room was deathly silent and Malfoy was seething
"Look I understand" Kingsley said weakly
"No he's right" I said to Kingsley, who looked at me with outright shock. Yes, I was going against my best friends. "It was only supposed to be the five of us- unless you want to recruit them, in which case we will no doubt leave, we have enough money saved up individually to live happily two lifetimes. But just know this- no one will ever be as good as us, a killing curse would bounce off us- we are invincible. We took this job because we wanted to make something of ourselves individually, we were living in the shadows of other people. When we finally get the chance to do that, get the appreciation, you let them come in and block us out again. So, we are going to go, let you think this over and see where your priorities lay. Then if they are in our favor, you can contact us, if not then the rest of the death eaters will live out their lives in countries where freedom and can bought and human rights don't exist"
I stood from Malfoy's lap, which he instantly followed me. Walked past Liam and Mike, placing Harry and Ron's wands on the table and walking out of the office. As soon as the door was closed we apparated away. I took control and directed us to my apartment in upper muggle London. As soon as we landed I immediately started changing back to my normal appearance.
My moves were quick and forced because I was so angry. I picked up a glass bowl and was about to throw that before when Malfoy's hand wrapped around my wrist. Prying the bowl from my hands he placed it back in its spot
He stepped forward, looking me in the eye the whole time, while his eyes darkened and more intense. Bending slightly he lowered his lips onto mine. Soft and warm. and just made me feel comfortable. Made me feel home
His hands moved down my waist, stopping at my hips and pulling me forward. His fingers slowly pulling my shirt higher. I abruptly pulled back
"Not tonight" I stated clearly. His eyes still dark and his breathing heavy. "Im not saying no, Im just saying not tonight". After a moment he blinked and nodded his head and started to turn away
"Stay tonight though?"
After what felt like eternity, but was really only seconds, he nodded his head. I grabbed his hand and lead him towards my bedroom.
My room was large and warm, natural colours covered the walls, carpet and bedspread. Slipping my shoes off, I quickly transfigured my clothes into pajamas and quickly slid into the bed and moving over to let Malfoy in.
I turned over so that we were facing each other, and our fore heads were touching.
"What are we Malfoy?"
"Seriously?" he asked quietly and I slightly nodded my head "I- I don't know". I felt a sliver of disappointment "but I do know that I really want to try this, us, with you"
I smiled shyly at him and lifted my hand up to caress his cheek. He closed his eyes and leant into my hand. I slowly lifted my hand higher up into his soft blonde hair.
Five years ago if someone told me I would willingly be in bed with Draco Malfoy I would have hexed their balls off and sent them packing to next century. But now, here I was seriously considering it.
