CHAPTER 7 – Hide and seek
HI GUYS! IM BACK! I know it's been too long but as I mentioned in the preview of the previous chapter, life has been hectic. Plus as a novice writer I don't really expect much so I also often don't feel the urgency to update soon as I know that probably there aren't any people waiting to read the next chapter. Though I am extremely humbled that you guys proved me wrong and thanks a lot again for that.
In this time of pandemic I hope everyone doing well. Honestly our country isn't doing so well. As we are second largest population of the world and also a developing country, it's hard to control corona. But also due to this huge lockdown I got time to get back to writing again though it also brings loads of anxiety and other mental problems. I hope the vaccine gets invented soon and we can again return to the mask free world able to enjoy physical contact again. Love u, stay happy and stay safe.
Daco's hold tightened on the goblet as he stared at the curly haired witch across the room. Again she was avoiding him, now more so than ever. After that night the she weasel had arrived and picked up important things of her from their common room. Since then he had not seen Granger in their common room.
Draco ran his fingers through his gelled back hair fraustated. He had taken to bring a girl back every night in his head dorms but stil,l it only fraustated him more after every release. He wanted her and only her. From the third year Granger had slowly become his obsession but he knew she wasn't meant for him. He would never have her but now that he had a taste of his favourite choice of drug, he had to have her. He glared as the weasel leaned towards his kitten and whispered something in her ear making her laugh. He hated the way Granger was so easy withwith the weasel and pothead but never even looked at him. His eyes narrowed at the slight blushat the girl's cheeksat the touch of the redhaed. And there was the task of dark lord's, which he had to perform.

Dimlight flitted through the window into the dorm. Hermione cracked her eyes open and turned towards the window. Grey clouds hung over the morning sky. Soon it would be raining. Hermione stared at the grey sky...as grey as his eyes when he became angry. " What the hell! what she was thinking! " - she chided herself. She would not thimk of him, she promised for hundredth time. She ahd been living with Ginny and avoiding that bastard again. " It was cowardice, so unhermionelike!" she thought with a grimace, like the red head had so eloquently put it. Hermione glanced at the red haired girl who slept on the next bed. Her red voluminous hair was spread around her beautiful face. She could see why Harry had fallen for the girl so hard. A tiny smile bloomed on her face at the thought of Harry. The dumbhead thought no one knew! It was so transparent! How could anyone miss such an obvious thing waas surprising to her. Though Ron had yet to noticeand she doubted he would unless someone points it out to him. Huh! She sometimes wondered how she fell in love with these two thickheads. She knew she couldn't stay with Ginny always. Eventually she would have to go back. Ginny was already pestering her about what was going on between her and Malfoy. Hermione huffed in anger. She was a lioness for merlin's sake. How could she be afraid of a snake! she wouldn't...she would go back and handle Malfoy. If things turned to worse , Harry and Ron were always at her back.

Draco clenched and unclenched his fist again. Finally she was back. Ithas turned into a hide and seek game of theirs. Though now it was the time for it to end. He longed to touch her. It has been so long...one whole week. She was like a drug to him, the more he had the more he wanted it. But he wouldn't. He was determined. Unless he took care of that pesky little problem of her running to the professors or talking about him to her friends , he won't touch her. He had to stay in Hogwarts to complete his mission. He thought about the dusty old cabinet. It was hard to turn a normal object into a magical one but it was harder to revive an object's magic, especially if it was a huge cabinet. He knew he was supposed to succeed and he would.
Hermione stole a glance at the looming figure leaning over the bookshelf, watching her. The room was cold and dark. She nonverbally enlarged the flames in the fireplace before glancing at him again. There he was, standing with a strange expression on his face, holding a glass of firewhiskey. She knew from his stance that he was drunk. Merlin knows how he keeps sneaking so much liquor in school. She shook her head and marched to her room, hoping to get a good night's sleep.
######
The quidditch pitch buzzed with excitement. Players were jostling on the pitch getting dressed with leather caps and taking their brooms. Today was the day for tryout in Gryffindor quidditch team. Hermione beamed at the captain and the red haired chaser beside him. Her chest swelled with pride. Her boys ,Harry had become the captain and Ron was trying out for keeper. Harry was first tensed that maybe he would be called out for being partial to his friends but Hermione knew he would be a great captain. The cold air rustled her brown curls as she clapped with glee for her friends, ignoring the irritating Lavender beside her, trying to get Ron's attention.
#######
Hermione she did that. She , who always told others to abide by school rules, cheated in the tryout. Maybe it just happened in the heat of the moment and besides Ron would be a better keeper than that stupid Mclaggen, she tried to excuse in her mind, though she knew confounding Mclaggen was not ok. However as sh saw the way her friends beamed at her she could not help but forget theguilty feeling churning in her gut. Instead her insides did a summersault as Ron threw a flying kiss towards her in utter happiness.
Two grey eyes looked at the rejoicing gryffindors and their friends from under the quidditch stand. His blonde hairtusled by the cold wind, his fingers clutching th broom so hard that his knuckles had turned white. Blaise Zabini inched away from his friend slowly. He had no clue what had enraged Draco so much but he was smart enough to not want to come in his wat at this moment. He couldn't help but feel dread curl in his stomach. It was the moment when he could torture or kill anyone in cold blood. He could see the insanity seeping in his eyes again and Blaise was afraid.
#######
Hermione entered through the portrait door happily. The quidditch tryout and after that the little celebration in gryffindor common room was really what she needed to relax. All of them were so happy.
Suddenly a stunning spell hit her from the back and she fell on the floor.
Pain...lots of pain in her arms...Hermione groggily opened her eyes. Was she dreaming? She could not recognise the dimly lit room as she blinked the blurriness away. Her head throbbed but as tried to touch her head to check for any injury, she realised her hands were tied upwards and her back was on the wall. Pure terror clutched her heart, why was she here? What happened after she entered into the common room, she couldn't remember. She stood up on her shaky legs easing pressure on her hands.
" Finally you are awake!" - a cold drawl broke her reverie. She whipped her face to the side. Malfoy was sitting on a grand green bed, similar to hers. Hermione suddenly recognised the room. It's colour was green and grey, she was in Draco's room. Again she panicked, what was he going to do with her? Malfoy sat on is enormous green bed, as Hermione looked at him, with..."wait what?" Hermione could not believe what she was seeing. A girl sat on his lap gently sucking on his neck and running her hands all over him. He pushed her away strode towards her. Putting one finger under her chin he lifted her face up to meet his eyes. "Now I want you to do as I tell you and then you will be free." " What? You are insane Malfoy! Release me now!" Hermione screamed, "I'll not play any perverse game of yours." "ssh! love" Draco cooed as he ran a finger over her exposedarms. "I'll never hurt you , or hurt you seriously but I can hurt her you know, if you don't comply " - he pointed at the girl sittig on the bed like a statue. Hermione gasped - "You have imperiused her!" Draco nodded kissing her neck softly and slowly undoing the buttons of her shirt. "I just want a wizard oath thta you'll never mention anything or do anything to let anyone else know what happened during our encounter." "Like hell I would!", I would not let you take advantage of me you bastard! I'm not waek nor some whore for you!" - Hermione snarled trying to get away from his touch. But her legs were fixed on the floor and Malfoy stood between them making it impossible to kick him. Draco let out a sensual chuckle ans kissed her neck. Immediately the girl on the bed let out a scream. Hermione's eyes widened , Draco whispered in her ear - "Don't worry love, not cruciatus. Just a spell similar like that, not too dark though." Hermione stood speechless unable to understand how to react as Draco kept licking her neck causing strange tremors in her body and the other girl's shrieks echoed in the room. "I guess you want to see some blood , do you?" Draco pulled away breaking her trance. " Who thought Granger, you would be so selfish. She is suffering for you , you know?" " No please stop Malfoy! please!" Hermione begged tugging at her bonds. The girl's screams ceased immediately. "Give me the wizard's oath " "Why are you doing this Malfoy? What do you want? I thought you had changed" Hermione sobbed. Draco tugged her hair shrply tilting her face upwards as he met her eyes. "How many times do I tell you Granger, I want you. I want you just for me. I wouldn't have done it you know but your simpring after the weasel made me do it. And I am just the same darling. I just had to find the real me and now I have." "But why me? I won't be your whore. I'll rather die!" Hermione whispered. A lone tear escaped her eyes. Draco dipped his head and licked the tear away. "No darling! you'll be my wife. My hair's mother, you will be mine to fuck, mine to care for. You'll be mine in every sense and I promise you once I have you I'll never look at any other woman." Hermione croaked "but why me?" "Because you are the most intelligent, passionate and gorgeous girl I have evr seen. You infuriate me and make me want you. You won't believe how many times i have thought about shoving my cock in your pretty little mouth just to shut you up. " Draco chuckled.
Hermione felt hopeless. She was sure Malfoy would hurt the girl and even her if he wanted to. He hadn't batted an eye while the girl had screamed in agony, writhing in bed. It was the only way. Malfoy was sick, twisted and toally insane.
"I promise on my magic that I'll not mention or do anything to let anyone know about my encounters with you as long as you don't hurt me or my friends seriously." Hermione's clear voice rang in the room. Draco immediately pulled away and hooted in happiness.
