The Malfoy Inheritance
Chapter 9: Displaying My Pleasure
The werewolf had made short work of the forty-five minute class, basically going over a review of what had been done in the previous years, telling them the things they'd soon be doing, and other minor, unimportant things that most teachers would do on the first day back to class…
The bell rang; classes were over for the day.
Lucivar started to pack away Master Dragon's things when the hairs on the back of his neck rose; the loup-garuo was approaching. He gently set the bottle of ink down and straightened up, turning to face the Dark Arts professor, careful to place himself between his master and the werewolf.
What's going on? And what's with the professor? Draco thought as he attempted to step off to the side of Lucivar to properly address professor Lupin; but Lucivar's tail caught on before he could move, wrapping itself quite snugly around his waist.
Draco made a face at the snake-like appendage as he tried to walk to the side, only to find the tail tighten it's hold, keeping him firmly in one spot; he couldn't stop himself from pouting like a child, he wanted to know what was going on!
He made a small noise of discomfort that was promptly ignored by his own servant! How-! Draco glared daggers at the back of Lucivar's neck, grrrr….
"Something you need wolfling?" Lucivar addressed calmly, his eyes carefully monitoring the young wolf just behind Remus Lupin's dull eyes.
The professor's eyes narrowed slightly, apparently insulted at the name; no words came from his mouth.
Lucivar released his young master, the wolfling was drawn to his youki, his demonic energy…he closed his eyes in thought, he'd never been able to hide such a thing from the changelings; more specifically the were-creatures.
But such things did not matter; the young wolf would no longer pose threat to his master.
He let his eyes drift open as he raised a hand to ghost two fingers across the werewolf's forehead, a soothing technique from times long ago.
A pain erupted between his shoulder blades; a small warning should he dredge up further memories. Lucivar complied then promptly cleared his mind of thoughts; allowing the thousands upon dozens of commands flow over his mind, controlling and dictating his actions.
The hand withdrew to it's side as Lucivar turned around and shouldered his master's book bag; waiting to follow.
Draco stared at both professor and servant; Lucivar's tail had withdrawn itself from his waist and now he stood off to the side. The professor however, seemed to just stand there like some idiotic git, completely at peace with the world as he stood next to Lucivar, a sparse few inches between them.
"You're not going to start stalking us are you werewolf?" Draco sneered, quite disgusted with the idea.
"Wha~? Oh- no- sorry about that, I was just~" Remus murmured as he shook himself from his thoughtless stupor; he turned around and headed back to his desk.
"Bloody moron…" Draco muttered as he exited the near empty classroom.
He didn't feel partial to roaming out on the grounds while a bunch of the idiot first years would normally swarm around mindlessly and gawk at everything, including at him; so he decided to have the torture of being questioned endlessly about Lucivar in the Slytherin dormitories…not very pleasant but better than the alternative.
Draco murmured the password and stepped inside the common room; sitting himself on the large, high-backed recliner positioned off to the side of a roaring fire, he then allowed his body to slump against the deep, forest-green velvet of the chair.
Lucivar set the book bag down beside the chair and stood wordlessly off to the side, having carried out certain aspects of previous orders and thus stood awaiting further movements from his master.
Pansy Parkinson and Millicent Bullstrode entered the common room, chatting about school assignments when they caught sight of Lucivar; the two shared a look; Millicent nodded and quickly ran up to the girls' dorm rooms.
"Lucivar- come here." Pansy smiled easily, moving behind one of the couches and pushed it closer towards the fireplace.
She then hopped over the back of it to land on the bouncy cushions- the Slytherin common room was in truth the most comfortable room in all of Hogwarts, sure they'd dressed it down to the 'dark, and evil' tune when Weasley and Potter had used the polyjuice potion to invade their privacy and try to figure out that mystery about the Chamber of Secrets in second year.
After all- they had appearances to keep up.
By now Lucivar stood off to the side of her, waiting for the next command; Pansy grabbed a spare velvet pillow plunked it right on the floor between her legs and motioned for Lucivar to sit.
"Milly~! Did you find the brushes and combs yet?" Pansy called as Draco's head snapped towards hers, quite shocked and somewhat scared of what girls and hair-care products could do when combined…
"Yeah- got them right here!" Millicent called, nearly jumping down the stairs as she too hopped over the couch and scooted closer to Pansy.
"What on earth are you two doing?!" Draco finally spoke up as both Pansy and Millicent began to undo the many braids in Lucivar's silky black hair.
"Playing with his hair, it's so pretty-!" Pansy smiled happily, running her fingers through the freshly unbraided sections of the fine ebony hair.
"Yeah, I agree with Pansy Draco- Lucivar's hair is truly exquisite," Millicent complied as she slowly unwound the braid that was wrapped quite beautifully around the high pony-tail; "I'm actually surprised the other girls didn't reach out and start playing with it during class."
"Girls…" Draco snorted in disbelief, folding his arms across his chest but settled in to watch, as the last braid had been undone.
"You don't believe his hair isn't as fine and silky as we say?" Pansy inquired slowly, obviously offended by the simple thought of it, "Then why don't you get off your lazy arse and come over here and touch it for yourself."
"I didn't say it wasn't," Draco said absently as he glanced at Lucivar's closed eyes and relaxed facial expression.
Draco watched the strange creature for a few more moments in silence as both girls started to brush out the non-existent knots and tangles; it was then that he noticed Lucivar's slackened posture- the way he rested himself comfortably against the front of the couch and his resting appearance, so, brushing his hair was soothing or relaxing for him was it?
He heard a girlish giggle; he returned his eyes to the girls.
Millicent elbowed Pansy and motioned with her other elbow towards something on the floor, a giggle on her lips, "Look-" she whispered, "I think he likes it~!"
Pansy leaned into the other girl to better see just what was over their on the floor next to her left foot anyway; still fiddling with the black strands of ethereal silk.
!
Lucivar's white, arrow-tipped tail was flicking around on the floor just a few inches from her feet. It was then that she made the analogy of how Lucivar's actions were quite like that of a cat's…with the way the tail was currently moving, he was pleased and thinking about something mildly pleasing as well.
So…if she did this…
Pansy's fingers trailed up Lucivar's neck to rub gently against a small spot just behind the pointed elf ears, nothing yet but she spread her fingers out wider, rubbing and scratching the places behind the unusually shaped ear…and was rewarded with…
A deep rumbling suddenly resonated from Lucivar, the semi-loud sound filling the entire common room.
She smiled, he was purring! Oh how absolutely adorable!
Draco watched the strangely pleasant scene with utter fascination, taking it into his memory the places and things that pleased Lucivar best- but why- he wasn't quite sure.
The purring ceased as Lucivar suddenly jerked forward, his back ramrod straight in alarm, his eyes snapping open; refocusing to dart around the room.
Pansy and Millicent drew back slightly in shock at the unwarranted behavior and glanced towards Draco for some form of explanation- only to find that his eyes too were questioning and confused.
His heartbeat was erratic and half-scared, he wasn't aloud to do that, old Mistress Nancy Malfoy did not like it when he showed that particular form of pleasure and had forbade him from doing it ever.
The magic from the collar began to seep into his body; already the pain began to set in…
Lucivar quickly moved towards Master Dragon on his knees and pressed his forehead to the cold stone floor as a sign of submission,
"Forgive me Master Dragon, I have disobeyed an order set by Mistress Nancy Malfoy and ask for your forgiveness." Lucivar spoke softly through clenched teeth as a chill crawled down his spin and into his lungs, slowing his breathing; the beginnings of magical suffocation…
"What-? By my great-great-great-Grandmother; what were you doing that was wrong???" Draco stared at the prostrate form kneeling before him.
"I displayed my pleasure… Please- forgive me," Lucivar's words came out slow but steady as the task of talking further deprived him of oxygen; if his Master didn't forgive him soon then his heart would fall into paralysis then the internal bleeding would follow after.
"My dead great grandmother Nancy Malfoy forbade you from ever purring again? That's utterly insane! I revoke that immediately!" Draco sneered at the memory of his great -X3 grandmother Nancy; why would she possibly forbid Lucivar from purring? He'd heard rumors that she'd been quite the sadist of all Malfoys- but this was ridiculous!
His lungs were released from their prison; he took in a deep breath then slowly leaned back onto the backs of his legs to nod in thanks to his master.
By Salazar she was mad! He quite liked the sound of him purring actually…it sort of gave him a tingling feeling that went straight to his- NO! Bad- Dirty thoughts!
Draco blushed then flicked his gray eyes to Pansy, she nodded then grabbed Lucivar by the shoulders and quite literally hauled him back into his seat, "I wasn't done with you yet-!" she snapped playfully, nodding to Millicent who then picked up a brush and continued to run it through Lucivar's hair once again.
