Only two more chapters plus an epilogue. Thanks to everyone who reviewed "You've Longed for My Touch", I'm expecting a lot of confusion after you read this one, so go ahead and message your thoughts.
I looked up at him, "Draco I swear to Merlin, if you are lying-"
"I'm not," he said quickly, yet simply. He was completely serious. I began to cry harder, this really was the first time I had cried this hard since my mom died. This time though, I was happy and scared.
He looked down at the ground, as if he didn't know what to say. He began to rub his thumb against my hand soothingly, both of us looking into each others eyes, tears rolling down my cheeks and onto my neck.
"How is this ever going to work out?" I asked in a rather choked up, trembling voice.
"We'll figure something out," he said pressing his lips against my own softly.
"No, you don't understand Draco; this isn't going to work out!" I said a little louder and clearer this time.
"Why not? You're home again, all we have to do is just get married like we were supposed to, and we can just live here. What's the conflict in that?" he said calmly, furrowing his eyebrows with confusion.
I let my head drop so that my chin was touching my chest. I took a very deep, deep breath in, trying to think of what to say next.
Should I tell him who I really am? How can I keep this going?
"Violet...?" Draco said trying to get my attention, which was obviously consumed in thought.
"Draco, I have to tell you something," I said looking up at him finally. Another tear rolled down my cheek and I took a sharp breath.
I looked into his eyes, which were staring back at me, urging me to continue. "I'm not who you think I am."
He looked at me puzzled, but didn't say anything.
"I can't just marry you and pretend everything is back to the way it was before. I've changed a lot Draco. You don't know who I am anymore," I said sniffling.
"Well sure you've changed, hell I've even changed, but what does that matter?"
I had had enough of beating around the bush so to say. I had to tell him, because he obviously didn't really comprehend what I was saying.
"You know how the past few years I've been under the protection of the ministry?" I said, waiting for him to respond, he nodded. "Well I haven't just been under protection of the ministry...I'm with them," I paused and looked at him, he looked like he was kind of angry looking making me more uneasy, but I continued. "Draco, I am the Mistress of Magic," I said closing my eyes and letting a tear roll down my cheek.
"You're what?" he asked in disbelief.
"That's why I know all the magic I do...not just for the hell of it, but because I needed to know it's in my blood now."
He walked backwards and sat on the edge of my bed, completely dumbfounded.
"So you were here to set me up then?" he asked putting two and two together.
I sighed deeply, "Yes. I came here to catch you doing something illegal because apparently being the Dark Lord isn't enough to put you into Azkaban," I said with a hint of mockery.
He grunted and stood up, "So then you should've just let me kill Raine. I was going to, that would've been enough for you," he was angry now.
"I couldn't let you kill Raine," I said not sure if I should blow his cover.
I walked over to him and grabbed his hands, "I'm not taking you to the Ministry if that's what you're wondering."
"You wouldn't be able to even if you tried," he said smirking.
Well at least the old him was back.
I turned my head to the side, scoffed and turned my head back towards him about to say something but he caught my lips with his before I could.
"I can't believe you set me up," he said against my lips.
"You say that like its hard," I responded slyly against his lips.
He let out a low growl and pulled me into him making our bodies collide.
I let out a small squeal out of shock and then laughed into his lips.
"You know, I find you so much hotter knowing that you have all of this amazing power bottled up inside you," he said after he pulled away from me, running his hands up and down my sides.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, I'm not like this completely different person or anything."
"I know; you still blush when I kiss you," he noted running his thumb along my apparently red cheek.
"We still have to talk about what we're going to do," I said trying to ruin the mood we had both set for ourselves.
He sighed, "We'll figure it out, but it can wait until tomorrow," he replied smirking and then suddenly lifted me up and walked me to the bed lying me down.
I couldn't help but laugh and brought my lips to his as he yanked off my pajama bottoms.

Back at the Ministry
"We never should've let her go," Harry said pacing back and fourth in the conference room hoping that at any moment there would be some kind of word.
"Harry, it was probably the only and most sufficient option we had and there is no way we would've been able to stop her," Ron said reclining in his chair, he had confidence in Violet, she wasn't the same girl he had once known or didn't know.
"What if he hurts her before she has a chance to defend herself!" Harry worried suddenly turning towards Ron.
"You aren't giving her enough credit! I doubt Malfoy would even be able to land one hand on her if she didn't want him to," he chuckled leaning back forward and placing his hands upon the table.
Harry did have to agree with that, but he couldn't help the feeling that was nagging him the feeling of...jealousy?
No, there was no reason for him to be jealous he should be happy. After all Violet was trying to bring Malfoy back so he could spend Merlin knows how long in Azkaban it was perfect.
But something wouldn't let him feel happy. He was still worried and still jealous.
A pop by the door caught his attention and immediately shot his head in that direction. He was thrilled to see Raine.
"Raine, where's Violet?" he asked immediately after noticing that Violet was not with Raine.
"She's still with Malfoy," Raine answered closing the door.
A look of panic and confusion flooded over Harry's face. "Then-..."
Raine interrupted, "Draco tried to kill me, Harry."
"Well...why didn't he?" Harry asked not sure what Raine was trying to accomplish by telling this information.
"Violet stopped him," he said apprehensively.
Harry immediately knew what this meant but again he wanted to try and make different excuses.
"Well she didn't want you to die, so of course she stopped him," Harry defended causing Ron to raise his eyebrows.
"Yes, but the way she stopped him involved her bursting into the study and sending Draco flying across the room...they were in there for a couple of hours, I didn't have much time to talk to her when she finally came out because she didn't was to raise suspicions on my part, but I think something is going on, they looked…cozy."
Ron stood up and slammed his fist onto the table, "That is enough Raine; you cannot and will not speak about our leader that way. Violet has sacrificed everything for so many people, and I will not have you speak about her in such a manner." Ron's face and ears were crimson from an outburst that was very rare.
Raine looked taken aback, "I didn't mean any disrespect, Ron; you know I love Violet, however with all due respect you were not there when she was living with us two years ago, it was clear that Violet had feelings for Draco he just didn't return them in a way she would've liked."
"Well, what do you suggest we do about it? You can't honestly think that she might ally herself with Malfoy" Harry snarled running his hands through his hair.

Back at the Castle
I awoke to someone stirring next to me. I tried to ignore it and fall back asleep until an arm feel across my head.
"Draco," I whined and reached up to grab his arm.
I placed it on top of his chest and rolled onto my side gazing at his still sleeping form.
I smiled to myself and wrapped my arms around his waist and draped my leg across his lap.
I slightly blushed involuntarily at the feeling of his manhood on my leg. I pulled myself as close as I could to him, snuggling up to him which created a smile onto my face that would not fade.
"Stop moving," I heard a horse voice say from above me.
"You're the one who woke me up," I defended softly running my finger along his stomach.
"You are aware that your leg is on my dick, correct?" he asked through a smirk.
I started to move it, "Yeah I did, sorry..."
He grabbed it and put it back where it was, "I just wanted to make sure."
I smiled and titled my head back to look at him I puckered my lips causing him to cock his eyebrow.
"You're bloody insane," he commented giving into my demands and giving my lips a quick peck.
"One of the many reasons you must love me," I replied reaching under the sheets running my fingers down his stomach.
He closed his eyes as my fingers descended lower and once they reached their destination he took in a sharp breath.
I watched him the entire time, feeling powerful at the control I had over him.
He was starting to grow hard with my touch as my fingers violated him.
He moaned my name, which caused me to smile brightly.
"Violet," he moaned as I began to quicken my strokes.
He grabbed my side as ecstasy overtook him, "go faster," he practically commanded as he became more and more aroused.
"Draco I don't think you're in any position to be telling me what to do, now are you?" I mocked him by giving his shaft a squeeze which caused a sharp breath intake on his part.
He let out a low growl as I defied him, slowing my pace.
I was caught off guard when he grabbed my waist and lifted me up and forced me down onto the empty part of the bed next to him.
He got on top of me pinning me to the bed, "You're such a fucking tease," he spat.
He waved his hand and my hands were thrown to the backboard and I couldn't move them. He smirked and pushed a finger inside of me sending a shock feeling through my stomach and giving me chills down my arms.
"You like that, Riddle?" he asked slowly pumping his finger in and out of me.
I nodded biting my bottom lip and I let out a gasp as he stuck another into me, his thumb massaging my clitoris.
"Now next time you're giving me a bloody hand job and I tell you to go faster I mean for you to go faster, understand?" he asked rather rhetorically still pumping two of his fingers in and out of me.
"Please," I begged wanting him to go faster so I could reach a nirvana.
I tried to release my hands from the magical grip they were held in but it was to no avail.
I was about to reach a climax and then he pulled out.
He released the magical grip on me and immediately my hands knotted in his hair and I pulled his lips to mine catching him in a deep passionate kiss.
He started to position himself to enter me, never removing his lips from mine, I wouldn't have allowed it anyway.
I bucked my hips against him encouraging him to devour me and fast.
With one thrust him pushed himself inside of me. He bit on my bottom lip which only made me giggle. He started off by slowly going in and out of me, his kisses moved to my neck.
My breath became heavy once he brought his thumb to my clit and rubbed it slowly.
"Oh my God Draco," my voice was low and seductive earning a husky grunt from Draco as he started picking up his pace.
Then the door opened, fab-u-lous.
"God Violet it's like 11:30 in the morning you can't possibly- OH MY GOD! I am so sorry," Trinity's voice said which immediately caused my door to slam shut.
Draco instantly pulled out of me when he first heard her voice but didn't get off of me.
"I'm so sorry my Lord, I just wanted to see if Violet knew where you were, but obviously she does. This is why they make doors Trinity, to close them so people have to knock before entering-" she continued to ramble to herself from behind the now closed door.
"It's alright Trinity," Draco said through gritted teeth, "is there something you need?"
"Um- no I just was here to ask Violet if she had seen you because you kind of disap- you know what, it doesn't matter, breakfast is ready then you are," she explained stuttering on almost every other word.
Draco sighed and rolled his eyes, "Alright, thank you," he answered trying to keep his patients in check.
I doubt she heard him though, because if she was anything like me she would've been long gone.
I bit my bottom lip trying to suppress a laugh, I have had a lot of firsts in the last what, day or two? It was pretty mind-boggling.
Draco finally looked down at me noticing that I was about to burst out laughing.
"You think it's funny, huh?" he asked kissing my forehead.
I couldn't hold it in any longer so I just released it my laughter filling the room.
"Is there any chance you would want to continue from where we left off?" he questioned hope filling his face.
I pretended to think about it brushing a piece of hair that fell in front of his grey eyes, "Not a chance," I finally responded, causing his face to drop.
"I figured as much," he said giving me a peck, "no matter there will be plenty of time for us to finish later." With that he got off of me and out of my bed he held out his hand and I looked at it skeptically.
"Relax, Riddle, I just want to take a shower with you," he explained smirking mischievously at me. I smiled at him and took his hand allowing him to pull me out of bed.
He led me towards the bathroom but stopped suddenly and turned towards me. I felt like a little kid considering I couldn't look below his waist without feeling myself blush at the thought.
He grabbed my other hand and pulled me towards him, resting my hands on his shoulders he then wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me into him so every part of out bodies were touching each other.
I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck allowing him to hold me, ecstatic that he wanted to.
"I love you," he reminded me, "I love every part of you, Violet, and I want to be with you forever."
I just couldn't stop smiling after that.
***
"Oh my god!" Trinity kept repeating as she made her way back to her room. Sure it's not like she had just walked in on her parents or something, but rather her boss and a girl that Trinity thought he wanted dead.
She burst through her own door stopping in the doorway when she saw Tye was standing there looking at some pictures she had on her shelf.
"There a reason you're here?" she asked trying to avoid the excitement she was feeling in her stomach.
He quickly looked at her as though he was startled but you wouldn't really be able to tell because he regained his composer so quick it was hardly noticeable.
"I just wanted to know if you found him," he said referring to Draco.
Trinity felt her cheeks blush, "Yep, I found him," she couldn't look at Tye as she said it embarrassed by the image that popped into her head.
He raised an eyebrow, but no emotion showed on his face, "Where was he?"
"I don't think I am in a position to say," she responded trying to stay loyal and mind her own business.
Tye was on her in an instant holding onto her wrist, "Trinity, I am his personal advisor you are obligated to tell me," he instructed through gritted teeth.
"He was with Violet, he stayed with her last night," she said avoiding detail.
Tye sneered at her words, obviously not satisfied with them.
"Tye what's wrong?" she asked taking out of a deep thought state he was in. She could sense he was more moody then usual and hoped he might tell her why.
He didn't answer her, just let go of her wrist and started to walk out of her room. It then suddenly clicked to her, "Is it because it's the anniversary of your dad's death?"
He stopped and turned to her, his stern face now full of shock, "You remembered?" he asked rather quickly, his eagerness showing through.
"How could I not?" she responded.
"You're the first one."
"I don't believe that."
He walked over to her, something was taking him over, and as much as he didn't want to, he had feelings for this girl. He tried to push them away; afraid that something might happen to her and then he would have no one and be left in the same place he had started with the death of his father. He cupped her face with his hands and she felt like crying. She had thought it might have just been a hopeless crush, but the light was breaking through the brick wall that he had put around him, and his true feelings were flashing through.
She didn't know what came over her, but she pressed her lips ever so gently against his. She was in that instant afraid he would pull away, not able to face rejection she quickly pulled away so he wouldn't have the chance.
He looked at her, slight surprise shown onto his face. The kiss she gave him wasn't more then just a couple of seconds but it was a kiss he wouldn't be able to forget. He wasn't sure what was coming over him, but he wanted that feeling again. He ever so cautiously leaned in closer to her almost as though he was afraid she would run away.
Once she leaned in, he knew he had her, and more forcefully leaned his lips into hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck afraid he might leave her at any moment.
He ran his hands up and down her arms running his tongue along her bottom lip. She opened her lips right away and his tongue entered massaging hers.
She let out a slight moan into his mouth and he grabbed her waist pulling her even more into him.
Their kiss continued to intensify until they were both breathless and were forced to pull away.
He rested his forehead against hers, both of them breathing deeply.
"Let's go get breakfast," he suggested to her.
She nodded pulling her forehead from his, and a smile came upon her face when he grabbed her hand led her out of the room.
Back to Violet's Point of View
Breakfast was awkward; I looked over at Raine from across the dinning room table noticing that he was eyeing me suspiciously.
I raised my eyebrow subtly and picked up a piece of toast putting some jelly on it.
I gazed over at Draco who was glaring at Raine, he never got to finish his punishment.
I put my hand on Draco's knee discreetly, I didn't want Raine to see, but then again he already seemed to know something.
Draco's glare subsided and he continued eating his breakfast, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye as I removed my hand from his knee.
I continued to exchange looks with Raine who seemed to be almost angry with me.
I guess I can understand why he'd be a little bit shaken up, but is it really right for him to be angry with me.
"So, my Lord, is there any missions or anything scheduled for today?" Tye asked.
"No, I'm afraid not Tye, however we will be having a meeting later this evening," Draco said, not lifting his eyes from his plate as spoke.
"What the meeting going to be about?" he asked casually.
"Finishing a war with the Ministry," Draco replied equally as casual. Raine immediately looked at me, but I was too busy looking at Draco to notice.
Tye started to laugh, "What's wrong Violet, afraid that means you actually have to stay here? From what I hear you wouldn't mind so much," he snapped.
Draco looked up at Tye as did I, "I suggest you learn to keep your tongue in your mouth unless you get off on punishment, Tye, but as you already know, I don't swing that way," Draco retorted causing Tye to glare at him.
I rolled my eyes and took a sip of orange juice, "I'm leaving," I announced pushing my chair back and standing up.
"I don't believe you were excused," Draco said smirking at me.
"I don't believe I need your permission, Malfoy," I spat back pushing my chair in.
"Watch yourself, Riddle," he warned not very convincingly though.
I rolled my eyes more to myself than anyone else and walked out of the dining hall.
I had forgotten how huge this house was, and walking back through it kind of brought a sick feeling to my stomach.
I mean sure, things are different now, and if anyone were to try and hurt me I could kick their asses. Whereas before, I couldn't defend a fly in my toughest moments.
But really, can you blame me for being a little creeped out in this house?
Last time I was here my mother was killed and Draco hated me...well, at least he acted like he did, and vise versus.
I walked upstairs into my old bedroom, and paused at the doorway.
It was a sick feeling, but I really couldn't help myself. I was so tempted to look back at everything I was.
I opened the closet door, which was still filled with all of the clothes I used to wear, and sat down on the floor.
I was about halfway through my closet, sitting on the floor, and I reached into a pile of clothes.
I pulled out a shoebox that I had once kept old photos in, mostly ones of my mother and the man who I thought was my father. Fortunately my father never knew about it, because I'm sure that if he did it wouldn't be hidden in the same spot in which it was today. It was the only thing I took home with me from Hogwarts.
I grabbed a picture out of the box and it was of all of us; Tye, Draco, Blaise, Flint, Goyle...all after playing ice hockey. I smiled remembering that day and how irritated Draco was getting because I couldn't move two feet on those stupid skates.
I put that picture down next to me and grabbed another one out of the box, it was of Raine and I in the same year as the other picture. We looked so young and cute, I had to admit that he looks the same as he does now.
I let out a small giggle but flinched when I heard someone knock on the closet door frame. It was Raine.
"Good, I've been wanting to talk to you," I said sternly; my authoritive tone kicking in.
"Same here," he replied, little respect shown in his voice.
"Raine I suggest you ditch the attitude, I don't care what your problem is with me; I am still your leader one of which you must always respect."
"Well...your majesty...I don't see why I should respect someone who is sleeping with the enemy and seems to forget why she is here. I already told Harry and the rest of the board about this, and they are discussing overthrowing you, however they want to hear your side of the story first," he stated smugly, crossing his arms over his chest as though he was proud.
I immediately stood up and walked over to him, "How dare you question me! You honestly think that I might be committed treason?! You obviously have no faith in me; and once this is all over I will make sure you are punished!!!" I practically screamed at him, I was angry but more importantly hurt. Sure, in a way I had committed treason, but Raine didn't know that Draco had as well.
How could he actually believe that I would choose Draco over my life, of course being the Ministry of Magic. They pulled me out of Dracos mess in the first place, I couldnt about to go back with Draco just like that.
"You better find a way to distract Draco, Raine, I'm leaving to talk to the board and you better hope for your own sake that they haven't been completely brainwashed," I said in a hushed tone and then with a pop I was gone.
***
When I appeared at the Ministry conference room, as expected, everyone was sitting around the table. They seemed shaken by my sudden entrance.
I casually walked over to my normal seat and out of the corner of my eye I saw sitting in front of Harry was a file...my file.
I could feel the water swelling up in my eyes. As much as I loved Draco, this Ministry had been my greatest passion for the last two plus years. I had devoted everything into it, not only because of the vengeance boiling in my blood, but also because of how much I believed in it. And now, my love for the enemy was going to ruin all that. And the people I loved and trusted the most had no trust in me.
I grabbed the file and began looking through it. I refused to cry in front of them; for it showed weakness, so I kept the toughest facial expression I could muster. "Any thing interesting in here, Harry? Did you just feel like looking through my file? It would have been more polite to ask of course, but then again I know you were never taught the best manners."
Harry's face looked hurt and his buddy was quick to jump on it, "Mistress that was a little out of line."
"Really, what do you call this Weasley?" I asked causing his face to turn red knowing that I had a point.
"Miss, we weren't trying to question your authority, we just heard some things from Raine that led us-"
"Led you to what? Question where my loyalty lies? If I would've known that sparing Raine's life would cause this, then I would've just let him die. I hope you all understand how much this ministry means to me, I would do anything for it, but I must be honest that I feel betrayed by all of you right now. I don't know what I could possible do in order to settle this-"
Harry cut me off, "Well actually, there is something you can do, and if you are truly as passionate as you claim about the ministry, then you should have no problem doing this."
I sighed, "I'll do anything Harry," I replied as serious as...well someone who is serious.
"We are going to war with the Deatheaters tomorrow, and when we do, you're expected to kill Malfoy."
I couldn't help but smirk, "Done."
