She stepped out of the fire place in their office to find a half-naked Draco standing right in front of her shirt and shoes in hand with only pants on not even done up all the way
"Well I could get used to this kind of welcome when I come to work" she said looking him up and down with a cheeky smirk before walking past him and into their closet with him a step behind
"Very funny I was in the middle of something when the ring went off and she wasn't very kind when I had to stop and leave" he said annoyed and throwing his shirt in the basket and his shoes into their place
Hermione couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought of Draco and some girl getting down to it and then him leaving her unsatisfied.
Draco just stood there looking at her laughing
"Well that's a new one for you… leaving a girl unsatisfied" she said slipping her blouse off
His breath hitched at her near nakedness so close to him so casual
"Try not to enjoy that too much I do have a reputation to uphold" he said taking his pants off
"Where did you even find this girl" said Hermione pulling her skirt off and stepping out of her pumps
"She's just a regular" said Draco casually while pulling on his cargos
"What do you mean a regular" she asked curiously pulling her own pants on
"I mean like a friend that I only see for a few hours and we only ever have sex" he said pulling his singlet on and putting his arms into the thin jacket that made up their mission uniforms
"How do you find these people, how many do you have" asked Hermione while putting her socks and shoes on and getting up to leave the closet
"What do you mean where do I find them and do you want to put a top on" said Draco laughing that she was obviously so interested in his sex friends that she forgot her own top
"Oh oops yeah so where do you find them" laughed Hermione as she put her singlet and jacket on
"They're girls I've gone on dates with and I have a roster of about 5 at a time" said Draco as he grabbed one of the go bags at the top of the closet as they walked out "I tell them I'm not looking for anything serious and they say floo in anytime"
"And what you ask for just sex and they just give it to you" asked Hermione as she opened their office door and they walked towards the red door
"Every time" said Draco with a wink before they both stepped through the Red door and walked to where Seamus and Alexis were standing with Morgana and Dennis.
In the afternoon since they had left the arse kicking room it had changed completely it was now all red.
There was only one door to the potions lab and the middle of the floor was padded. Hermione assumed this was for when they had to send each other back.
Morgana passed a file to Alexis and one to Draco with a token in it "Good luck when you find your mark use your ring to charge it and put it against their skin it will zap them to the appropriate place"
"Pass it over your ring and it's charged and it won't lose charge until it brings them to where they are meant to be and it won't carry anyone else" said Dennis "here are blank extras if you find more marks with them but be careful not to drop charged once because whoever it picks up with be coming to gaol…Be Safe" and with that they both left through the grey door, Draco slipped their marks token into his pocket and the blank ones into their go bag
"First back wins" said Seamus grabbing Alexis's hand she could apparate them to the location in there file
"Deal" said Hermione taking Draco's hand and he apparated them to their destination
They landed in an ally across the road from a small pub a little bit north of muggle London. Draco handed the picture to Hermione "low level errand runner he's in that muggle pub I'll go in first and you follow" he said but it was more of a question "Sure sit near him and order a pint of beer I'll come in a few minutes after you, let's hope he likes blonds" with a smile she transfigured his clothes to muggle jeans and a t-shirt then did hers to a short skirt with a slinky top with wedges it was mid-summer so it wasn't cold. She opened their go bag and pulled out a small pouch with a few small rings in it. She passed one to Draco and took one out for herself before closing the pouch and putting to back in their go bag and transfigured it to a cute handbag. They slipped the plain rings onto the pinkie finger of their right hand, Hermione's hair became straight and the same colour as Draco's her eyes went green like Harry's and she grew a few inches, Draco's hair became light brown with a slight 3 day neat stubble and he developed a beautiful tan. "Ready Granger" he smirked "Born ready" she replied he walked over to the pub and once the front door closed Hermione counted to 120 and walked across the road. She took a deep breath before she put her most confident walk on and strutted into the pub walking up to the bar to get a drink. She spotted Draco sitting near their mark who was sitting alone with an almost finished Beer. Hermione order 2 Beers and walked over to her mark putting the beer down in front of him and sitting down smiling sultrily at him
"Hello beautiful" he slurred
"Hello Handsome what are you doing here all by yourself" Asked Hermione
"Had a fight with me girlfriend" he said taking a mouth full of his new beer
"I'm sure you did nothing wrong maybe we can turn that frown upside down" she gave him a cute smile
"Wanna do me in the bathroom" he asked excitedly if Hermione hadn't been hoping for this response she would've vomited in her mouth as soon as Draco heard bathroom he got up and went to the men's bathroom.
"Sounds perfect" said Hermione getting up and taking his hand as they walked to the bathroom. As he stepped into the men's toilets Hermione pulled him into her with her back against the wall he went in for the kiss but thankfully Draco was ready and pressed the token into his neck and he was zapped off to gaol.
"Well that was both disgusting and satisfying" said Hermione
Draco stepped closer to her "not sure how I feel about you seducing other men so easily" he said with a smoulder in his eyes
"Well I did learn from the best" she said stepping closer to him and giving him a nice smirk "but I plan on doing a lot of seducing so you should get used to it" she said side stepping him and leaving the men's room. She left the pub and walked across to the ally where Draco would meet her and sure enough twenty seconds later there he was.
He grabbed her around the waist a disapparated them back to the red room they landed and Hermione let out a laugh and slapped his arm. She hated not having warning. She changed her little bag back to normal and took the pouch with their disguise rings in it Draco handed his back and changed both their cloths back to normal mission clothes as Hermione put the rings away.
Now having turned back normal and completing their mission they left the red room and headed for their office to get changed. As they got to their door Hermione smiled and put a small Silver Star in the top corner.
As they were getting changed Hermione suddenly remembered the conversation they were having before they left
"Hey what if you're not on a date but you know someone who would sleep with you, how do you make them your sex friend?" asked Hermione as she slipped into her skirt and pumps
"If you're talking about Weasley then I'm not helping you and what's you obsession with sex friends today I would have thought you wouldn't approve" said Draco doing his shirt buttons up
"I'm not talking about Ron and Emelia really helped me see sex for what it is, I mean sure its special with someone that's special but it can be fun and relaxing, a great stress reliever and I'd like to have a real orgasm during sex" said Hermione honestly while slipping her shirt on.
Draco was putting on his shoe and almost fell over.
"What..? ….. Did you just say you haven't…. ever" he asked he had grabbed Hermione by her arms and was looking at her as if she just said I hate reading or something.
"Not really no and it's not that uncommon" said Hermione rolling her eyes.
"Um yes it is... who have you been with?" said Draco a little outraged on her behalf
"Draco focus" she raised her voice a little to get his attention
"Right sorry just ask them if they want no strings attached or to be friends with benefits" he said letting her go and pulling his shoes on
"Ok cool thanks see you tomorrow" She said walked over to the fire place and stepped in, yelled "Grimmauld place" giving Draco a smile before shooting out of site.
When Hermione walked into her bedroom at Grimmauld place she noticed all her mail was stacked high on her desk and she had several large parcels and garment bags sitting at the end of her bed. She was too tired to open anything so just put on her Pjs and got in to bed, she flicked her wand to turn the lights out and lay down with sleep taking over her the moment she hit the pillow.
Hermione woke refreshed from a good night's sleep in her own bed. Her bizarre dreams regarding Malfoys nakedness were slightly disturbing but she put that down to him being her partner, they were close, trusted each other with their lives, had practiced seducing each other and her brain didn't know how to process their relationship so it of coarse went romantic which it wasn't.
Breakfast with Harry and Ginny was nice, Kreatcher made her Banana Pancakes to welcome her home. Neither bugged her about last night, Harry asked if she was all good and accepted her smile as an answer as she ate more pancakes.
"We have a gift for you" said Ginny passing a small box across the table
"We wanted you to carry something with you that will bring you luck" said Harry
Hermione opened the box and found inside was a beautiful white gold necklace with a small diamond in a heart shape. She was nearly brought to tears by their beautiful gesture.
"It's from us and George too" said Harry
"Its beautiful thank you" said Hermione putting her necklace on.
"Time to go" said Kreatcher handing Hermione and Harry a travel cup of coffee.
They said goodbye to Ginny and left for the Ministry of Magic. As they walked across the marble entry towards the lifts Hermione spotted Draco walking with a pretty brunette girl who Hermione wondered if perhaps she was his sex friend. She was about to ask Harry what he thought about it when Ron trudged up behind them yawning loudly through his good morning. Hermione looked back at Ron to say 'Good morning' and instead rolled her eyes at the site of him. He looked like he did in Fourth year scruffy robes, untucked shirt, messy hair, unshaven and most likely unshowered.
"What" he asked angrily
"Ron you realise this is work don't you" said Hermione
"Yeah why" he asked confusedly
"You Look Homeless Ron" said Hermione quietly stepping into the lift with Harry, Ron and Draco and the mystery Girl along with several other Ministry workers
"Morning Granger" said Draco with a little too much flirt in his voice for Ron's liking
"Good Morning" She replied happily ignoring his attempt to irritate Ron
The lift stopped and the pretty girl got off but not before giving Draco a kiss on the cheek with a sweet "Thanks" battering her eyelashes at him.
Hermione smirked to herself, that girl clearly didn't know she was one of the many revolving girls that get in and out of Draco's bed.
"She seems sweet" said Hermione trying hard not to laugh at Harry and Ron's facial expressions
"Yeah she's alright might add her to the roster" said Draco ignoring Hermione's obvious jibe at his friend.
"Aww I think she's in love" said Hermione turning to Draco and battering her eyelashes in an imitation of the girl.
"What's a roster" Ron whispered to Harry who just shrugged and shock his head more interested in the exchange between Hermione and Draco
"It's a list of people who you have casual sex with on a semi regular basis" said Hermione nonchalantly
"She is not in love and knows exactly what it is and what it will never be" said Draco matter of factly looking at Hermione and ignoring the other people in the lift who had started to become a little uncomfortable by their casually personal conversation.
"Oh, I am sure" replied Hermione nodding and giving Draco her best sweet smile with an eye batter
Before he could respond the lift stopped on their floor and Hermione tuned and walked directly out followed by a slightly annoyed Draco and a very confused Harry and Ron.
As Draco caught up with Hermione she noticed that Seamus and Alexis's door had 2 silver stars and 1 gold one. Hermione stopped dead causing Draco to bang into her but instead of stepping back he stayed directly behind her.
"What is it Granger" he asked
"We're behind already" she said outraged "Get the files we need to memorise them all we could have missed someone last night" turning to looking directly at Draco neither stepping back causing some curious looks from their fellow Aurors
"Calm down Hermione" said Draco putting his hands on her shoulders and turning her around before marching her into their office
"It's only the Second day don't' freak out" said Draco rolling his eyes at Hermione's little freak out and sitting down at his desk
"I'm going to get the files" said Hermione leaving their office
Draco got up and started to clear Hermione's desk of all the books she had gotten down knowing she would come back in with a ridiculous amount of files for them to memorise. Hermione walked back into the office with several piles of files floating behind her. With a wave of her wand the piles set down on both her and Draco's desk neatly.
"Ok I'll take the Blue ones and you take the red then we'll do the yellow and green and finally the black" Said Hermione
"How about I do the black and you do the known associates of our Marks" replied Draco
"Ok that does sound more sensible" said Hermione a little defeated
They spent the whole day researching their marks and their associates stopping only when lunch appeared on a small table in front of the couch. Thankfully Draco wasn't distracted enough to forget food and ordered them something from the cafeteria. They sat and ate, discussing their marks until a knock on the door. Seamus wanted the rest of their files and to gloat they had nabbed 2 extra marks on their mission last night.
"It's only the second day, we'll catch up to you" said Hermione calmly collecting all the blue files and handing them over. Seamus left with a chuckle.
"Oh really" said Draco raising his eyebrows at Hermione
Hermione ignored him and they kept reading their files in a comfortable silence sometimes talking about how the connection between magical and muggle criminal is strange. At 5:30 they left the office and walked to the lifts where Harry and Ron were waiting with Seamus and Alexis.
"Have you finished your files yet" asked Alexis
"We scanned them all but it will take a few days to memorise them all" said Hermione
As the lift arrived and they were all about to get in Draco and Hermione's Ring went off.
"Ha we'll beat you now" said Hermione as she turned and started to speed back to their office
"Ha maybe not" Shouted Alexis as she held her left hand up to show Draco their ring was going off too.
Draco started to undo his tie as he began running to the office. Before Hermione had even raised her hand to open their door Jackson and Penelope shot out of their office already dressed for the mission and ran through the Red door. Hermione started to rip her skirt off the moment she walked into the office and through her blouse on the couch and kicked her shoes off as she pulled her singlet and jacket on. Draco had the same idea and entered the closet with only his pants and shoes still on. They raced to finish getting changed and grabbed a go bag before running out of the office. "Be careful" She heard Harry call as they disappeared through the Red door
"We located quite a few together at a birthday party, none violent just money runners" said Morgana as she handed them each a file
"This will require you to use magic to get in to the building but once inside you'll have to try keep it to a minimum also there are minors in the building"
"Be safe" said Dennis
Hermione grabbed Draco's hand an entwined their fingers disapparating to the back of the Building. They transfigured their uniforms into muggle clothes but decided to go without their disguise rings.
They had discussed and trained in their mission roles extensively during training every scenario had a plan that they all knew off by heart. Black and Red team around the back, Blue and yellow in the front. Yellow team disable the barriers, Green team go in from the top and drop a small bomb that fills the room with clear smoke making the people in the room more susceptible to suggestion, then Black and Red team sneak in and signal the Blue and yellow team who come in the front, blend in, find the target and take them down quietly, meet back in the red room.
They entered the building to find it full of men, woman and children all muggles. They decided to use seduction as it was a muggle woman's 30th Birthday, 15 targets to find in a sea of 100 people. Each team found their marks and brought them to a secluded area where their partner was waiting. Draco convinced 2 at once to follow him to the back room. Hermione got 1 of the woman before anything could happen but when she turned around the other woman had her tongue in his mouth and was trying to undress Draco. Hermione grabbed her by the hair and pressed the token onto her shoulder sending her to prison. He straightened his clothes and went back out to get their next target deciding not to comment on Hermione's aggressiveness. He brought their last mark back and Hermione sent her to gaol with a satisfied smirk. Draco took hold of Hermione and took them back to the red room. The mission went smoothly. All teams arrived back within a few seconds of each other.
"I feel a little dirty" said Seamus "He kissed a girl" Laughed Alexis
"Gideon did too" laughed Lena
"Draco too and nearly lost his shirt" said Hermione lightly but couldn't take all the annoyed tone out of her voice
"Getting a bit slow Hermione" Laughed Jackson
"There were two at once, I got the first one but the second one pounced" defended Hermione
"Two at once…nice" said Kyron holding his hand up for a high five
"Seriously…. Nice" said Davina holding her hand up too
Hermione rolled her eyes and transfigured their clothes back to normal and started to walk out, Draco caught up a step before the door and snaked his arm around her middle keeping her fully in front of him with his chest against her back as they continued to walk through.
"A little rough today on the muggle, do I detect a little Jealousy" he whispered into her ear
She could feel his breath on her neck and couldn't deny that she enjoyed his touch
She leaned her head back onto his chest puffing her own so he would get a good view and put her hand up and around his head pulling him closer as she took a long breath.
"Mmmmm not in the slightest" she moaned before stepping away and walking to their office with a satisfied smirk
Draco couldn't help but to be stunned and a little turned on by her moan. But he saw her face when she pulled the muggle by her hair. A part of her was jealous. Laughing to himself he followed Hermione to their office neither of them noticed that Harry and Ron were standing in the door way of Harry's office watching them.
Hermione and Draco changed and left the office in comfortable silence.
"Got plans for tomorrow" asked Hermione in the lift casually
"Yeah lunch with the guys and then I have a date what about you" replied Draco
"I think I'm going to start my roster" said Hermione casually stepping out of the lift and heading to the floos thankfully everyone had gone for the day so they could talk openly
"Ha… ok with who" laughed Draco not sure if she was serious
"Victor Krum" replied Hermione "I've got it all planned out I'm flooing over tonight we'll drink a little then I'll make a joke about it we'll drink a bit more, I'll seduce him a little and then he'll pleasure me on the floor of his library for several hours" she gave Draco a little smile and looked him waiting for him to say something.
Draco was shocked by her frankness but admired her plan she really was accepting her body and taking control of what she wanted and he found that incredibly sexy
"That is an excellent plan" he said giving her an encouraging smile, just before she stepped into the fire place he added "oh and granger you should wear the green and black set" with a wink
"I was going to go with nothing" she smirked at him "Grimmauld Place" she yelled
Draco laughed and stepped into a fire place just as he yelled "Malfoy manor" he saw two different shoes suddenly become visible 'Harry and Ron' he thought as he whooshed up the floo home as he stepped out of his fire place he rubbed his ring to signal Hermione. When her face appeared in his ring he told her what he had seen and wished her luck for some good sex.
Hermione was angry that Harry and Ron would spy on her. Only she was allowed to spy on people. Hermione decided to pretend like she didn't know and have some fun with them. But first she had to prepare for her plans with victor tonight.
Hermione showered and used her wand to remove all the hair from her neck down. She washed her hair with sleek and shine, and washed with softest body wash that smelled of roses, these products literally did what they were called. She tied her hair in a neat bun at the nape of her neck to dry and become beautiful sleek curls. She did a quick 24 hour contraception spell and tried to find something to wear.
Hermione tried on several dresses from a pink loose silk backless halter mini dress to a black lace mid-thigh long sleeve she decide to embrace her new found confidence and as well as her newly toned body thanks to all the training. Hermione picked the pink loose silk backless halter mini dress with cute black lace G-string to match the black stilettos that were charmed to feel like pull-on runners to her feet but still gave her the sexy confidence she liked when she looked down at her legs.
She pulled out her make-up book and picked the dark smoky eye and perfect pout lips. As she held the page up to her face and activated it with her wand she felt a slight tingly sensation cover her face when it was gone she let the now blank page go and admired herself in the mirror.
'Bless you Pavati Patil' she thought making a mental note to send a message to her old school friend congratulating her on the success of her Beauty Products.
As she walked towards the lounge she could hear voices obviously Harry and Ginny had friends over.
"Harry I'm going to take the big bottle of Fire whiskey ok" she yelled from the kitchen as she took the bottle from the cupboard and slipping it into her clutch purse that already had her wand and a change of clothes for tomorrow and ballet flats thanks to the extendable charm.
She walked into the lounge to see Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna and Neville all sitting on the couches chatting
"Oh wow Hermione you look amazing" said Luna as soon as she stepped into the door everyone else just stared at her blinking
"Thank you Luna I have a date" she said smiling and giving a little twirl
"And you're going like that" said Ron gesturing to her dress
"No of course not Ronald" she said and pulled the pin holding her now dry hair in the bun and shock it out. Long beautiful brown curls fell down her back "I'm going like this" she finished as she walked to the fire place
"Where are you going" asked Ginny trying not to laugh at Ron's face
"Oh I've a date with Victor" said Hermione taking out her wand
"I think you should cancel and stay here we've barely seen you" said Ron
Hermione performed a protection shield around herself so when she stepped out of the floo at Victors end she would still look fantastic. She placed her wand back in her bag and tucked it under her arm.
"I could stay here with you guy's….two couples and my ex" She said holding one hand up like a scale
"Or I could go a date with a sexy man voted 'the most eligible bachelor 3 years running" she said putting the other hand up and weighing the invisible choices
"Have a great time Hermione" said Harry
"Say hi to Victor for us" said Luna and Ginny at the same time
"See you tomorrow…..afternoon" She said and stepped into the Fire "Krum Mansion" she yelled and dropped the floo powder with sultry smirk she winked to Ron and whooshed up the floo.
