Yesterday she was in heaven as Draco has been very thorough in using her however he wished and she obeyed him like an obedient slut. Right now she was getting ready to go to the mall. In the absence of Narcissa she was the one who looked after the mall. Even if she was hired as a charms specialist for the mall she now also worked as a personal secretary of Narcissa which means when Narcissa left for Italy, Fleur was asked to look after the mall.
She entered Draco's room to say goodbye but she found him getting ready as he was putting on some robes over his muggle clothing.
"Are you going somewhere Draco." Fleur asked as she walked towards him
"I will be going to Diagon Alley. The Weasely twins would be meeting me there and we would be coming to the mall as well." Draco said as he tied his robe tightly to his body
"Why are you meeting with them? I thought you disliked the Weasely family." Fleur asked confused
"I do dislike some of them but in business personal dislikes have no meaning. All that matters is the profit that can be made." Draco said as he pressed a light lingering kiss on Fleur's cheek.
They went their separate ways as Fleur apparated straight outside the mall while Draco had to take the night bus to Diagon alley to keep up appearances.
From there he went into Gringotts to take out some gold as he was looking to make a string of purchases. Mostly it was some pepper up potion and blood replenishment potions. The next place of his visit was Tom's bar and there he found the twin prankster.
"Well hello there. We were beginning to think you were fooling around with us." George and Fred Weasly said as they both stood up to greet him
"Sorry I am late. I had some business with Gringotts. Shall we…" Draco led them out towards the mall
"So, there has been something that was bugging us. Why help us to make a joke shop. You could have easily asked the Zonko's to start one in your mall." Fred Weasely asked
"Well for one thing they already have a well established business in Hogesmead. They don't need to open one in our mall because there is no competition to their business. On the other hand your joke shop will be a new one which is going to be in direct competition with a well established shop and you will need a supportive environment to survive the infant years. You will have to attract a lot of customers from the Zonko's and that we can provide in spades as the mall is full of people. All you have to do is to attract the crowd we present to you with your innovative ideas and I know firsthand about your capabilities in that area so you are a safe investment in my eyes." Draco said as they entered the mall. The proximity wards sensed their approach and the animated glass doors automatically opened up
"So what is your stake in all this? Where do you get the profits in hosting this many shop? It must not be for free." George WEasely asked as they entered an elevator and Draco pressed number 7 on the pad and then it flew up steadily
"There is the rent we get from the establishment of a shop in our building. Then there are several security features, services and our supply chains we offer if you are in need of it. For example, in one of our schemes we provide safety for all the products inside the shop so long as they are registered with mall's security team. We also provide warehouse facilities to store your stocks safely. Then there is our supply network that can instantly bring you any material you ned for your business products. Most importantly we also provide assistance in recruiting necessary staff for the shops if needed even in short notice. There are many other services we provide. I will give you guys a detailed list later." Draco said as the elevator stopped moving and they stepped into the seventh floor. Draco led the Twins through a fairly busy floor to a space that was free of any shop.
"This is the place I was hoping you would choose. We have not provided any structures inside as we were not sure what you would prefer. If you want you can browse some of the designs now." Draco offered
"We can check that out later. How do you select the staff for different shops? Are they directly recruited from Hogwarts?" George asked
"We don't recruit anyone for any shops. There is a common platform for people to register for employment in the mall. We mostly pass the list to the shops and they are the ones that recruit them. If you are inquiring about the staff the mall employs then we recruit them mostly from Hogwarts as well as Bauxbatons. Sometimes we also recruit from passed out students of Hogwarts mostly muggleborns as they are not readily employed in Britain." Draco explained
"So what if we want to recruit our own staff?" Fred Weasely asked
"You are free to do so. But if you decide to expand your business into the other branches of the mall outside Britain like Ireland, France, Germany or Rome then you will not be able to assign staff there as those magical nations have their own laws regarding labor and we are obligated to follow them." Draco pointed out
"You have branches outside Britain?" Fred asked in surprise
"Ireland and Rome are the most recent places we have opened started. If you are interested and have the capital we can easily spread your business to other magical nations in the world." Draco offered
"That is if we start our shop in the mall here right." George asked
"Yes and now since my mother has yet to arrive from Rome I will direct you to my mothers assistant. She is in charge and can negotiate on behalf of my mother. So please come." Draco led them to the top floor and entered the main office. Fleur was sitting behind the desk where usually Narcissa sat. She stood up as Draco and the Weasely twins approached her
"Fleur these are the twin pranksters of Hogwarts, Fred and George Weasely. I will be leaving them in your capable hands." Draco said
Fleur smiled warmly at the twins releasing a little bit of her allure. Already Draco could see they were under her spell. Draco sent a brief smirk her way and left the office leaving the Weasley twins in the French Veela's hands.
Draco used this time to roam around the mall visiting various shops and even buying several items that took his fancy. The most successive and profitable business that operated from the mall were the Jewelry business. Necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets, chains of gold, silver, and platinum along with Diamonds were sold at high prices and there was a huge demand now in the wizarding world. Fortunately such shops were working under the ownership of Malfoy family with trusted suppliers from the Muggle world. This business was successful only because of the help of muggleborn wizards and witches.
Now that last statement would seem strange and funny for many Pureblood wizards and witches but that was the truth. Anyone in the wizarding world would agree the muggleborn wizards and witches have a tough life in the wizarding world as they are not easily employed due to the discrimination against them. But that is the state most of the muggleborns find themselves in only if they decide to make the wizarding world their home. But those who abandon the wizarding world and live in the muggle world had a whole different life. While it's true they don't have muggle education from the age of eleven they are educated in the arcane arts that can set them up for a life of luxury if they only know how to use their powers. If the muggleborn in question is courageous, resourceful and a little bit ambitious they can live like kings in the muggle world. All it takes is a few compulsion and memory charms to change the entire fortune of a daring wizard or witch in the muggle world and right now such ingenious wizards control most of the mines in the world. Not just mines but several famous business enterprises were run by muggleborn wizards and witches who in turn were supplying the Malfoy business in the wizarding world. In return for this monopoly Draco promised to shield them from the ministry. Draco's thoughts were halted as he saw the Weasely twins approach him with large smiles on their faces.
"We have decided to take your offer. Fleur says your mother will arrive tomorrow so all the agreements will be signed tomorrow itself. Thank you for your help Draco." Fred and George shook hands with Draco sealing the deal. After the twins left the mall Draco entered the main office once more.
"Your ability to influence others into our way of thinking is marvelous as always my beautiful flower." Draco pressed a kiss on her lips as he complimented her
"I really hope this was not the reason that you decided to have me around." Fleur said in between the kiss as he began to lightly nip at her neck
"Not at all my dear Fleur…. I chose you for your beauty and that too for my own enjoyment." Draco trapped her against the wall with his body as his hands explored the rest of her body
"Narcissa will only come tomorrow. We still have some time together but not here." Fleur cautioned him as she squirmed in his grip
"Then this evening meet me on the top floor by the pool." Draco breathed in her ear
"You and your pool fetish…." Fleur lightly swatted him
"As I said before, the moment I saw you in Hogwarts in that swimsuit I would have you all to myself." Draco whispered hungrily as he gazed at her body lustily
"I promise you I will be yours forever but for now I have much work to do."Fleur pushed pushed him lightly and Draco loosened his grip on her and allowed her to return to her work. Draco decided he could use this time to perfect some of the spells that would be useful in the near future and perhaps once again go through his plans and schemes
XXXXXXX
Later that evening Fleur found Draco swimming in the pool at the top floor of the mall which was a private apartment of the Malfoy family. Making sure she was seen by Draco she loosened her robes and allowed it to pool around her ankles on the floor thereby exposing her body before his eyes in all its glory. Since her fear of water had disappeared after Draco took her in the pool of the Malfoy manor she did not hesitate to jump into the pool with Draco. She swam closer to Draco who was watching her every move like a shark. Fleur pressed herself close to Draco and pulled him into a heated kiss. She felt his warm hands wander around her body making her moan into the kiss. Suddenly she was pressed against the side of the pol and Draco guided his cock near her entrance and she eagerly parted her legs. Draco took hold of her left leg to the side and pushed his cock into her wet core in one thrust making her scream in pleasure. Slowly he began to pump into her and the room was now filled with their cries as they enjoyed themselves. In the end they decided to stay in the mall to keep each other company.
The next day Narcissa returned Britain via portkey only to find the Malfoy manor empty. She eventually found Draco and Fleur in the mall in Diagon alley.
"Mother I see you have returned from your trip. So, what did you find in Rome?" Draco asked curiously as they sat comfortably in their private quarters
"I avoided buying any portraits of Wizards and Witches as they could be used for spying. But I did manage to buy a variety of portraits of Hippogriffs, Unicorns, and different breeds of dragons, Mermen, Nundu and even some Pegasi." Narcissa enthusiastically said as she began to take out said portraits from an expanded trunk.
"They are good." Fleur observed as she inspected the portrait of a flying herd of Pegasi
"Of course they are good. These are my selection after all. Now let's go and put these on display." Narcissa said as she levitated some of the portraits behind her and left the room
"I know some attractive spots that we can catch the attention of the customers." Fleur followed Narcissa's lead and began to leviate the rest of the portraits and the two ladies left together arguing about the best spots to set the portraits
Draco looked on incredulously as his two ladies went about discussing portraits and what not leaving him in their quarters alone. He grumbled good-naturedly and followed them out. The next few hours they were busy putting up these portraits around the mall and sure enough it attracted a lot of attention as people rarely get to see many magical creatures like Nundu, Pegasi and many such rare magical creatures. The security team led by Fleur began to put the necessary charms and wards around the Portraits to safeguard it from harm and theft.
Finally after hours of dragging Draco around the entire mall the two ladies settled down after their portraits ran out of stock. The three of them settled down on the couch in Narcissa's office.
"Now that the decorations are over lets come to the matter at hand. How were the Wizangmote sessions mother?" Draco asked
"After that disastrous trial Fudge lost some face and much confidence from his supporters. There are already cracks in his support base but Dumbeldore is not using this to his advantage and instead is happy to remain in his school like a Tortoise keeping its body protected inside its shell." Narcissa took a sip of the butter beer and continued
"Nott on the other hand is actively recruiting the old guard. Many of the Dark Lord's followers and sympathizers are around roaming free so he is not having much of a trouble. Lucius in his years as a member of Wizangmote had helped and greased several hands to form a strong Pureblood block in the governing body of Britain as well as the Ministry. Now Nott is quite successfully using these connections to recruit Ministry employees directly for the Dark Lord. There are too many who are corrupt and they will all flock to the Dark Lord. The ministry is a lost cause and perhaps Dumbledore sees this as well. Maybe that's why he is avoiding it like plague." Narcissa theorized
"Dumbledore has several reasons. One is as Narcissa mentioned, he sees the ministry as a lost cause to some extent. The other reason is his unwillingness to use force. He will never use his political power aggressively like Nott or Fudge. At the moment he is concentrating on the drama he is running with the dark lord and Potter. All other things are irrelevant in his eyes." Draco presented his view
"So what you are saying is that Dumbledore is planning to destroy the Dark Lord without having any blood on his hands."Fleur asked incredulously
"Yes mu dear flower. He is an old man, a tired man who has lived a long life and watched generations pass by. To some extent I can understand his desire for not taking to violence in face of cruelty. But emotions have no place in this game. Two years is all that needed to fill the vacuum of power that is going to be created. Two lords will fall by my hand and I will step in to fill that void and do what they could not do." Draco proclaimed
"Do what my love?" Fleur asked
"Rule over this land unopposed." Draco smirked
