As Hermione ad Lee parted there was a knock at the door. Lee broke away from her quickly and busied himself tidying the room, just as Draco Malfoy entered the room. "Darling I heard you fell and nearly drowned!" He drawled monotonously. Hermione, who had sat in her bed hurriedly, smoothed down the covers and nodded slowly. Draco didn't appear to notice anything as he was inspecting his left hand and the large sapphire diamond perched on his index finger.
Looking up he spotted Lee Jordan slowly leaving the room. "Servant boy…I require my evening cocoa in my study tonight. Hurry and prepare it." He snapped as Lee hesitated. Lee bowed and fled the room to do as was asked. Draco made his way over to Hermione, all the while muttering about how incompetent the servants were nowadays.
He sat on Hermione's bed and stroked her hand gently. "You poor dear. Once we're married we will make sure there is someone with you at all times. I will not risk losing my inherit…my bride."
Hermione rolled her eyes. She knew full well why he was so desperate to marry her. The wealthy married the wealthy in order to keep their power and financial aspects secure. She also knew that he was not allowed to divorce her until they were at least two years into their marriage…as long as the marriage hadn't been consummated. If it had been consummated…there was no chance to leave. Once he did leave…being the dominant one he would be legally able to take the money she had brought with her and into her new life.
Her mind rested on what he had said about making sure someone was with her at all times. Although he didn't want to marry her for love he did not want to lose her. Again for the reason she had just mentioned but also…because Master Malfoy was a dark possessive soul.
"As you wish…my…love." She just managed to choke out. Draco smiled silkily, kissed her hand briskly and left. Hermione's heart dropped as closed her eyes and allowed sleep to conquer the control of her eyes.
When she next awoke it was still dark. What had awoken her? She sat up and shivered looking around the room. It wasn't cold but she had the feeling someone…or thing…was watching her. Suddenly there was a loud banging next to her, in the direction of her nightstand. She opened her mouth to scream but couldn't. Someone had covered her mouth, not allowing any noise to escape her lips.
"Shh." Came a voice in the pitch-blackness. It was quite funny that the only thing running through her head was that a giant snake had captured her and would soon begin squeezing the life out of her. What she didn't expect was a small candle to be lit and placed neatly on her dresser. The hand was slowly removed from her mouth and the owner swivelled round to sit on her bed facing her.
"Lee?" She questioned disbelievingly. "What are you doing here?" She asked quietly.
"I…it's not right…milady…I…" He didn't get much further.
"What have I told you about calling me milady when there's no one here?" She said, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
Lee looked at her sadly. "I'm sorry mil…Hermione…but…I've just heard…it's terrible…but…" He stuttered miserably. Hermione took his hands in hers. "Hermione…he's going to kill you…take everything you have…then murder you."
