Dark Allegiance

Chapter Five (Or One): Embracing Darkness

Draco woke the next day to his bed curtains being flung open, "UP NOW!" a dark raspy voice hissed.

Draco moaned and turned on his side.

"Mobilous corpus" the same voice hissed.

Draco found himself bound and being lifted off his warm soft bed. "I dun wanna ge up mum,"

"I'm not your mother Mr. Malfoy!" Snape hissed, letting him fall onto the icy cold cobblestones of the dungeon floor.

"Ouch!" Draco shouted rubbing him bum as well as his eyes, "What up your arse, Professor?"

"Why weren't you in bed last night, and yet I find you in bed this morning?" Opening his eye, Draco saw Snape fuming.

"Because I went back to bed." Draco answered simply.

"Without me seeing you?!" the potions master boomed.

Draco cleaned his ear out, trying to stop the ringing, "Apparently." He muttered, and Snape's eyes darkened to three shades lighter then Draco's own at midnight every night from now to eternity. Pretty dark for humans.

"Headmaster's, Now." Snape flicked his wand at the door from the boys dorm to the common room.

Draco flew out, in nothing more then his boxers.

"A hundred Points from Slytherin!" He shouted after the boy.

Draco just rolled his eyes, Crossing his arms, glaring at all the early worm students as he whizzed by.

Finally, Draco fell flat on his bum in front of a large gargoyle. "You know, you could have given me the password, Snape."

"Considering I was awaiting your arrival, that was hardly necessary on his part, don't you agree, young Malfoy?" a cheerful old voice that could only be one man, chuckled at the boy/man on his steps.

"I see Severus didn't think you had time to dress, well, you hardly look appropriate to be anywhere but your bed, we'll have to fix that!"

The warmth that surrounded Draco informed him that he was indeed clothed.

"Thank you head master." Draco stood and faced the ancient man, "You wished to speak with me?"

"Yes, Please, follow me."

And they walked up the spiral stair case.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hermione woke early for herself considering the past night.

Now that Malfoy, Mordred, she reminded herself, now he was one of her kind, made by her, what did that make him to her?

She shook her head, best not to think on it.

She got ready quickly, so that she wasn't suspect.

Walking down the stairs into the common room, she noticed how the usual din was replaced by laughter, and hot, fast gossip. Far to loud for her at this time in the morning.

"What are you all shouting about?" she spoke clearly to the closest girl, trusting her own sex to come through with the most details on the gossip market.

"It's Malfoy," the fourth year giggled, "I saw him myself on my way to the library, he was zooming through the air, in nothing but his undergarments!" she blushed fiercely and giggled even more uncontrollably.

Hermione rolled her eyes, trust the more naïve to become nothing more the twittering children.

"AS AMUSING," Hermione shouted to the room, which instantly quieted, "As Malfoy flying around in his boxers is. There is no reason for us to forget that today is classes, and that they all start in approximately FIVE minutes. Any Gryffindor I see remaining here after I count to ten, shall receive ten points off," she tapped her badge, "Which is better then the lot of you would get if you all were late!"

Harry and Ron were tumbling out of their dorms, only to hear her speech. Both looked at the other and mouthed, "That time" then nodded and walked down the rest of the way with extreme caution, rushing out of the tower with the rest of the Gryffindors.

By the time she reached one, a pin could have dropped in the tower, and would have been hear at any point within.

Smiling at herself, Hermione turned on her heals, and exited the tower.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~

Potions was an experience that day.

Snape kept glaring at Malfoy and ignored all the Gryffindors. It seemed that Malfoy did something the other night to rile the potions professor.

And none of the students were about to say anything, after all, who wanted his rage turned on them? "Mr. Malfoy, Sit up straight and pay attention! Ten points from Slytherin! Yes! My own house!" Snape hissed.

Draco wasn't paying attention in class, not after what Dumbledore had told him.

It was definitely food for thought.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Mr. Malfoy, I am aware that you weren't in your bed majority of the night. Is there something you wish to share with me?" Dumbledore asked, ushering a tray of candies to Draco.

"No sir," Draco ignored the tray.

"Well, Mr. Malfoy, I must admit how glad I am that you are still a student under me, however I am curious as to why the change in heart?"

Draco shrugged, "I did what I wanted, so why leave?"

"I have, another, question for you Mr. Malfoy."

"Alright headmaster." Draco leaned back and waited.

"What did you see?" his eyes twinkled.

Draco smirked, "It hardly matters sir, I saw it, and I'm still a student here, we all win, it doesn't matter the how of the situation."

"But there are some things, Mr. Malfoy, you might not be aware of yet, you told me that this cost a price, I'm curious as to whether you know of the price you paid."

"I do." With that Draco stood up and left the office.

"I doubt it Young Malfoy." He heard as he walked away.

** ** * * * * ** * * **

The day left rather quickly, at dinner, Hermione noticed a black raven fly down and drop a letter on her plate.

She opened it.

"Dear M,

Tonight I need your help.

S~"

Hermione re read the message twice. Odd. Silver normally didn't write her unless it was urgent.

Draco.

The name flashed in her mind. Yeah she should tell him, ask him to help, after all another pair of hands wouldn't hurt, and he did get himself involved.

Smirking, and wrote a quick note and handed it to the raven that was picking at her plate. "Mordred." She ordered it.

The raven took off, none of the Gryffindors even noticed the exchange.

Draco looked up after reading her scrawl, and nodded.

He was hoping he could go out tonight.

A certain potions Professor, however, had noticed the last exchange.

If he couldn't get to Malfoy, then he was open to getting to Granger. Since she clearly knew something was going on.

*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~

Hermione was walking from the library with thirty minutes until she needed to be in for curfew, and an hour before she had to meet Silver, and about five minutes until she changed.

She was carrying her usual stack of five to six books for light reading when she bumped into something, or as the case was, someone.

"Ms. Granger." Snape snapped at her, "Detention, tonight, and look where your going next time." He started to walk off as Hermione realized what he had said.

"Professor, I'm rescheduling that for this weekend, I have something I have to do tonight," she called out, making the Professor stop.

"I'm sure you do ms. Granger, that's why the detention is tonight." He glared back at her, "How about I escort you since you seem to think that you don't need to come." He grabbed her arm, and dragged her along.

Draco was coming up that stairs when he heard the transaction, as Snape came over the top of the stairs he smirked at the boy. "I see now Ms. Granger what you had to do. But I'm afraid I cannot allow that to happen, Draco needs to go to bed. Now."

That was too far.

"I was coming to find you sir." Draco answered coldly, trying to force his eyes to their nightly shade.

"What for Mr. Malfoy?" Snape asked softly, trying to force the boy to falter.

"Blaise sir, he wont stop following me around." Draco explained, but Hermione had a feeling that Snape was in on that.

"Yes, Mr. Malfoy, I asked him to keep an eye on you since I obviously could not." Snape replied, "Now go to bed, Mr. Malfoy."

"What are you doing with Granger sir?" he smirked amused, as if he wanted Snape to drop something he could use against her. Hermione realized that act.

Apparently, so did Snape. "None of your concern, Bed!" he Pointed hard.

Draco felt a tug similar to that morning s event, but it passes as soon as it came. He hadn't moved.

Draco looked up at Hermione, only to find Morgan in her place. His own silver hair was still in front of his eyes so he hadn't changed, yet.

She mouthed "Go!" and Draco nodded then ran.

Snape was confused by why Draco had stopped moving and had suddenly nodded at granger, then left.

He felt his hand empty and jerked around to look at his captive, only to find her gone.

Now, this was quite interesting.
