The excitement at something new happening grew old fast with Eniko. It felt like six hours before Lucius entered her room again. Of course she had no way of telling exact time seeing as the room was blank of such trivialities. Eniko busied herself fiddling her thumbs absent mindedly and thinking. She really hoped she'd have a free moment soon. Else she was afraid the Marauders would do something drastic. Or she was afraid they would give up on her, think she was captured by Mad Eye or worse… dead. And they would move on to their own plan without her.

She felt a dire need to get word to them but when Lucius entered and spoke she became vaguely aware of how impossible that would be.

"Bellatrix does not trust you." He said slowly, softly. Eniko was not surprised. "But I have no reason not to." He took a seat across the room.

Eniko thought fast, allowing a small smirk that she really hoped came off as sexy play upon her lips. "I guess I should be glad."

Lucius studied her closely, as if trying to find deceit. He must have been satisfied for a moment later his face relaxed into the same smirk, only Eniko was sure it was much sexier than the one she was forcing. "Of course. Of course. Until you prove yourself loyal though, we are unable to let you roam free. You understand right?"

Eniko leaned forward a little, a hand on either side of herself and knowing that this position was allowing her breasts to push up a little. Considering she was always a little small in that area anything helped. "So I get a bodyguard?" She asked teasingly.

"Yes, and for now it will be yours truly." Said Lucius.

"For now?" Said Eniko.

"Nevermind the specifics." Lucius waved his hand in front of his face and leaned forward with an odd gaze. "I will tell you though, we thought you left school with two others." Smoothly he stood and walked past Eniko towards a window.

"Did others quit and join?" Eniko feigned obliviousness, her heart nearly betraying her.

Lucius smirked. "No. Two boys. You may know them. Remus Lupin, and James Potter. A filthy half blood and a blood traitor."

Eniko let out a small snarl of anger. It was very easy to come across. Hearing her friends referred to as such made her angry. Eniko passed it off in another way though. "Those were the friends you were talking about? Obviously you are ill informed Malfoy. They can rot in hell for all I care. I'm not the same."

The hate in her voice was convincing and Malfoy looked at her with that same look in his eyes as before. Slowly he started to make his way over. "Don't misunderstand. I've heard of how you've changed. Of course it's hard to imagine before seeing it. Your hair though…"

When he was close enough he took a lock in his hand. "It was better blonde." He let go, but as he let it fall his hand brushed Eniko's shoulder.

And Eniko remembered the night at the hotel when they found the scrap of green cloak. She remembered what those hands had done and she wanted so badly to flinch away. To scream at him not to touch her. Not a murderer like him! But for Sirius's sake Eniko refused. "I wanted a change." She forced her tongue to relax and her jaw to unclench.

"Sometimes change is good." Malfoy agreed, and she noticed just how close he was standing. "I think I like a few that I see."

Then he left. With nothing else said or done. Eniko was left alone to mull over his words. Later that night someone she did not know was sent to patch up her arm. It was healed well but there was a scar. Apparently scars developed were nearly impossible to get rid of by magical means. Disguised, but magically given they would stick. And so Eniko was forced with a frown as she realized her arm would always have such an ugly mark. Apparently Malfoy agreed.

The next morning he caught her after she had bathed and sat beside her on the bed as she stared out at the rising sun. "It's a pity you're left with such a mark." He mused.

"Why's that?" Asked Eniko.

"Your skin is too beautiful to be marred by such a thing. Don't worry, it doesn't subtract from your beauty, much." Said Malfoy.

"I do believe you just called me attractive." Said Eniko. Her mouth once more took the form of the flirtatious smirk.

Part of Eniko knew that this wasn't necessary. That she could have gotten on just fine without submitting to this sort of activity. To flirting with a man that despite his good looks, made her want to vomit. But another part of her was too lost on what else to do. She didn't want to take the long route. She wanted to get him to trust her, to tell her where Sirius was!

But no hint came. So Eniko kept up with subtle flirting and Malfoy returned it. She counted the days and felt lost as February 25th left without warning. Nearly nine days she'd been there and nothing! Eniko was desperate. Going at things alone was hard. So she decided to mix it up.

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do?" Eniko complained in a soft voice, sitting besides Lucius in the bedroom that had become her prison later that night. "I'm feeling suffocated in here."

"There's always something you can do." Said Lucius. His voice was strained as if they'd had this conversation before.

Eniko frowned. "Not if you don't let me. I could be of use. There are things you or Bella can't do."

"Like?" Asked Lucius.

"well, I can be places without being noticed. You two are too defined in the wizarding world but me? I'm invisible. I can fight. Even if I don't know why I'm fighting I'd trust you. Or…" Eniko stopped, glancing at Lucius out of the corner of her eyes. She was very aware of how close they sat, of how if she just moved a tad to the side her hips would be met with his.

She turned, letting her knee 'accidentally' bump against his leg. "Or, well, I'm sure you could think of others yourself. You're awfully smart Malfoy."

Stroking his Ego was always a sure fire way to succeed. Malfoy was a narcissist and years of practicing with likeminded James and Sirius helped her cause.

Malfoy put a hand on her leg just as the thought of Sirius passed her mind once more. Eniko forced it away. This was for him, and she wouldn't let anything stand in her way. The other boys had probably already given up on her by now, gone off to save Sirius instead on their own. Eniko couldn't rely on anything but her own skill. And considering she was very lacking in that area she was nervous…

"Perhaps," Malfoy's hand on her leg felt extremely heavy. "You're correct. There are things that Bella and myself are unable to do."

Eniko glanced from his eyes down and back up. She gave him an interested look and leaned in a little, trying to push up her little cleavage as she did so. "Anything you'll let me do?"

His hand twitched just a bit and Eniko was sure she had him. She leaned in even closer. "You probably don't understand just how willing I am to help."

"Oh, I think I do." Said Lucius, he boldly made the next move by wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her up so she was sitting on one of his knees. "I think I do." He repeated.

Eniko was faced with another moral decision. She did not want to go all the way with lucius. But Blue Balling him might prove fatal on her part. What did she really hope to accomplish? Well she knew that if emotions were involved then his judgment would be strained. It would be nice to have one death eater on her side.

But could she go all the way with him? It had crossed her mind before, and she'd slept with more guys than she liked to admit. But this was different. Sure, some of the Slytherin's had been nasty folks. But murderers? Kidnappers? Never.

Eniko couldn't make up her mind and she realized she only had a few millimeters to think before Malfoy closed the gap between them and her fate was sealed. Part of her wished for an interruption but this time none came. Malfoy pulled her close and placed his lips on her neck. Eniko shivered from disgust.

This was the worst. She frowned and stared across the room as she felt him leave marks on her pale skin. She dug her nails into his shoulder when he started to press his knee up into her. She was sure he'd misunderstand it for pleasure but she was trying her hardest not to push him away.

That night was the worst she'd head since Dmitri. It was retched and no matter how much she tried she couldn't even fool her body into thinking it was someone else. Her mind knew that it was Lucius Malfoy. That it was a murderer. His looks didn't matter in the slightest. Never before had she found it so hard to fake a smile. To pretend she was enjoying it. And when it was finally over and he left at last, Eniko ran to the small bathroom adjacent to her room and emptied the contents of her stomach.

She cried herself to sleep, wallowing in self pity. She told herself just that night. That was the only time she'd allow herself to behave so selfishly. When Sirius may be in that house, suffering right then. It wasn't fair for her to complain. It wasn't like she hadn't shagged a stranger before…

Eniko rolled over on her side, and at last sleep claimed her for the night. Her body too exhausted to carry on without sleep.

Fortunately Eniko didn't make such a lasting impression on Malfoy that he couldn't stay away. But three days later he was back. Eniko tried to steer it in a different direction but to no avail. She'd made her place clear and it seemed to be beneath Malfoy. The second time left her the same way as the first, curled up in disgust. But she did not feel the need to throw up by the third time. And by the fifth her tears were completely dry.

Time seemed to flow together. Eniko was giving up on ever being let out. She was starting to think that perhaps Malfoy only saved her so he could have fun with her. Then, one day Malfoy announced that he would be taking her out.

"It's the seventh of March." He said in a matter-o-fact voice. "I won't be in charge of supervising you after today."

Eniko frowned. The seventh of march already? It had been twelve days since she'd offered herself to Lucius. Sure, it seemed to be working to some extent but she still wasn't allowed to leave the manor or even walk around freely in it. All she knew was that there were three stories above the ground. And she had a feeling there was something beneath. Not only that, but most of the rooms were abandoned.

"Don't give me that look." Lucius scolded, but his voice was not dark. It was teasing almost. "I'll still make time to see you."

Eniko stood up from the bed, wrapped in a bath robe and looked out towards the window. "Not as much." Shit! She didn't want her guard changed. It could be dangerous.

Lucius wrapped his arms around her from behind and Eniko turned her head, letting him kiss her. "I'll take advantage of every second I have left then." He smirked, his hand was already finding its way inside her robe.

Eniko didn't protest of course, but the sick feeling she got at first wasn't present either. If asked she'd say she'd gotten used to it over the past ten days. But Eniko was not sure what it was. Malfoy was a very skilled lover if she was being honest. But the mental part was still a setback for her.

"Well I guess I should take advantage as well then." Said Eniko. She leaned back into him.

Malfoy stopped his hands though, confusing her. "I have good news."

Eniko raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"

"I convinced Bellatrix to allow me the privilege of taking you with me to meet this contact. A way to prove yourself to us."

"Really?" Eniko spun around. The excitement in her voice was real.

"Yes. And we are leaving now." Lucius reached for her robe. "I'll even help you dress." He winked.

Eniko was forced to return the mischievous smile. Her hopes were dropping but she felt somewhat achieved. He had convinced Bellatrix. Obviously he was on her side now. All she had to do was keep up her part.
