Wow I just looked at my reviews and it hasn't been a day and almost twenty
reviews. Not bad. Now like I've already informed you I'm not sure how
this is going to end but those who have heard of my writing style or have
read some of my other stories know I'm just full of surprises. This story
is no exception. I come up with very dramatic things sometimes. So you
can laugh cry be mad and be at the edges of your seats by chapter five.
Disclaimer. I really wish I owned Draco. Oh wait I do. Haha. No I don't. I don't own any character except those I create. I also own a gorgeous guy who is like an image of Draco only with red hair. Hehe.
By the way. I used to have a beta but he goes to University now and he doesn't have time for me. Sniff. So if anyone knows someone who will fix my errors I'll be happy. By the way fire goddess no offense taken. I'm fully aware of my errors.
Fireheart I totally agree with you about the Kangaroo. One has kicked me. So please no. Do not send wolves or kangaroos after me.
Anyway here we go.

"It's an honor to have you with our staff Medea. I am sure you will bring new understanding to the school." Dumbledore said greeting someone under a silver cloak.
"It's an honor to be here." A very soft feminine voice said. "I just hope I'm good enough."
Lifting the cloak a beautiful young woman smiled. Her bright hazel eyes shone as her streaked hair waved around her.
"I presume Deo will be here later with your son?" He said smiling. She nodded.
"He will. I do apologize though for having to bring little Steven with me but his father is unable to take him for the year and he's only a baby. I didn't' want him without his mummy."
"It's perfectly alright my dear. The house elves are quite content in taking care of him while you teach. I am sorry though about the divorce."
"It's alright. We're still good friends and I was an arranged marriage so it was a good five years. We just decided it was time to move on. No hard feeling though." She said brightly. In all honesty it hadn't affected the young woman so badly.
"Come now. Breakfast is almost ready and I would like for you to freshen up and meet the rest of the staff."
With that the young woman picked up her trunks and she followed the head master down the hall to her room.
"I heard the ministry has made this a compulsory course." She said while walking down one of the halls. A few of the students watched this new woman pass by with curious looks.
"Yes. It will be good for them. Some of the students have no understanding of the real world and it will do them good to start to understand the muggle world."
"It's a beautiful world out there Albus it's just not many appreciate it's true beauty. True there are many things in the muggle world that are negative but there is just as much in the wizarding world."
"I agree entirely. These new courses will do the school much good." He said smiling as they reached the portrait.
"I just hope the students agree with you." Medea said smiling. "Though I think my brother and I can handle this."
"I do hope so. It will be only for the sixth and seventh years for now. Next year it's intended to be a whole grade course." Dumbledore said the password and a beautiful common room appeared. "I hope it's to your liking."
"Perfect. So I will come down to meet the teachers before breakfast. I hope I don't get lost though. It's been so long since I was last here."
"I'm sure you won't. I will see you later." With that the head master left the new teacher to unpack.
Looking around the room she smiled at the beauty of the room. It had an old French look much to her liking. "This will be an interesting year indeed."

"HERMIONE!" Ron and Harry exclaimed at the same time when they say their best friend come down that morning. The little changes in her uniform did bring out the feminine side of Hermione.
Most of the boys in Griffendor started at her with their mouths wide open.
'You like?" She asked smiling turning around. It wasn't' much of a change but it made a very big difference.
"You look amazing." Harry said looking her over again.
"Yeah. How did you do it?" Ron asked. It was obvious that they hadn't' noticed that she'd just shortened her skirt and tightened her shirt.
"Oh nothing really." She said smiling. "Well come on I want to be early for breakfast. I heard from the teachers that we have a new teacher. Wonder who it is."
They started walking down to the great hall when Draco passed them by. He gave Hermione a look of approval. He had seen her the day before but it still amazed him how much a few changes could do.
"Blimy Granger looking fine today aren't we?" He said leering at her. Part of it was acting because he knew but in all honesty she hadn't looked this sexy the other day.
"Thanks Malfoy." She said with a cute smile. He couldn't help but give a little smirk. She was a natural. With that he walked into the great hall for breakfast.
Harry and Ron didn't look too pleased with this. Draco Malfoy was being nice to Hermione granger. More alarming. He had given her a compliment.
"What was that all about?" Harry wondered looking at Hermione. She just shrugged and followed Draco's actions in entering the great hall.
They sat down at their table and it didn't' escape Hermione's mind that many of the boys were staring at her. Even some from Slytherine.
"Students may I have your attention please." Dumbledore said standing. "I have a few announcements."
The students went quiet and listened.
"We have a new teacher this year and I have the great pleasure of introducing miss Medea Averieale."
Everyone gasped. The Averieale family was well known in the wizard world. They were a pureblood family of the highest ranks. Even higher than the Malfoy's. They were known for being very gentle but also very powerful.
"I would also like to announce that Miss Averieale's brother will be also teaching here. They will be in charge of the new courses the school will offer for the next few semesters."
"I didn't think they could just add a new course so late in the year." Hermione whispered to her friends.
'Me neither." Ron said grumbling. They all looked at the lovely teacher. She was a beautiful woman everyone had to agree. She had blond streaks in her honey colored hair and he skin was a very beautiful tan color. She had curves and legs to die for and any man would love to have her as his wife.
"The course is an extensive look into the muggle world and how it affects our world. There will be many field trips and new things to study. Many of you will find this new section quite enjoyable. These new courses will take effect at the end of the semester. In the mean time Miss Averieale will be assisting in potions and Mr. Averieale will be assisting in defense and both will be teaching dueling. For all of you to know these new courses are compulsory for sixth and seventh years."
Everyone started to whisper. Some groaned. Some clapped.
"She's really pretty isn't she?" Someone muttered.
"Yeah she is." Harry said.
"I wonder what a girl of that status is doing here." Ron wondered. She was rich. She didn't need to work.
"She likes kids Ron. I read that she has a son. He's only about six months old."
"Oh. Well I hope she's nice." He commented they all nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile in the Slytherine table.
"Oh Draco I wish I could be as beautiful as she is." Pansy said dreamily. Draco tried to hold back a laugh.
'You'd have to wait a thousand years for that slut.' He thought to himself.
"Hey didn't' the Averieale's belong to Slytherine?" One of the sixth years asked. Draco nodded. He had met Medea. He had spent a few summers with her family when his father was away for business.
"Yeah. At least she was. Dad says she was a fire ball when she came to school."
"Really." One of the girls asked.
"Yeah. Her dad and mine knew each other. Her mum would say stuff when they came over. She was usually practicing magic when I saw her."
"Oh Drakie you now so many people. You probably know royalty. You're so well known." Pansy said. Draco looked at her with disgust.
"Whatever." He sighed and looked at the Griffendor table. Harry was sitting next to his precious Kiyo and was giving glances at Hermione every so often. For some strange reason Draco didn't like that. He felt a sudden surge of possessiveness.
'Your masterpiece is for your eyes only until it's finished.' His mind whispered.
(I'm like that. I am really possessive over my work. I don't like anyone seeing it till I'm done.)
"Excuse me." He said walking towards the door. Catching Hermione's gaze he called her over to him. Luckily no one noticed. Well almost no one.
"Wonder what that's about?" Medea wondered watching Draco walk out with the brown haired beauty. "Draco Malfoy. Well it has been a while."
"You know him?" One of the teachers asked.
"Our families would spend the summers together when he was a child. Was a sweet baby though I remember his eyes were a lot shinier than they are now."
"He's said to become a death eater." Someone whispered to her. She shook her head
"No not him. Even now I can see it in his eyes. Might act like it. Won't though. You know that girl reminds me of someone. Just can't place who."
"Ahh that's Miss Hermione Granger." McGonagoll said proudly. "Our top student."
"Really. Like her mother or her father?" She asked with a smile
"Her parents are muggles I'm afraid." Snape said.
"She has talent though. Very good student. Why would she be with Draco Malfoy though?" McGonagoll whispered.
"Ah from my experience with Malfoy's they always have something planned." Medea said smiling. "Though if I didn't' know better I would say he didn't' look to happy about the way everyone's been staring at her."
"Well miss Granger doesn't usually dress like that you see."
"You know something. I remember when Draco was little. He was very private about his things. Especially when he worked with clay. He would only ever show me his finished work. Never showed me when it was half done."
"You really don't' think miss Granger is clay to him." Snape snorted.
"Don't put it against him. I never said it was a bad thing. Just said that I have a feeling he's putting more work into this project than he realizes."
"How would you know this Medea?" McGonagoll asked.
"Ah well. I know men. I know Malfoy's better than they may think. I know Draco well. He took pride in his work. I expect some good things from him." She smiled at her former teacher. "Besides you of all my old teachers should know what I could see."
"Really. What do you see happening?" One of the teachers asked curiously. Those who remembered her from school knew that she had an eye for these things. Especially for seeing into the future of people's souls.
"I can't really say. Like I sad he's a Malfoy and they are very hard to read. Though this game he plays will go either way. The stakes are higher than he realizes for himself and Miss granger."
"Are you assuming that they will have some sort of relationship?" Snape asked.
"Not assuming anything. Though I see very strong ties with the red head and the boy with the glasses. Harry Potter isn't he?"
"Yes. They've been friends for years."
"Well might be more than that." She said smiling. "Or maybe not."
"What would you happen to know that we don't see?" Snape asked. He remembered this girl very well. She was the top in potions class but was also the wild flower of Slytherin. He recognized her power to see into the future and knew she had something planned.
"I can't say but I can tell you this much. Life isn't going to be boring for a long time to come."
"I don't see what you could possibly mean." Snape said.
"You'll see soon enough. Will you all excuse me?" With that she got up and walked towards the door.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"So what's this all about?" Hermione asked as she walked down the hall with Draco. He looked a little agitated and she didn't like it.
"You got some head turning Hermione." She stopped dead in her tracks. Draco stopped not realizing what he's said. "What?"
"You said my name." She said softly.
"What?"
"You called me Hermione." She whispered. They were very close to their dorm rooms and Draco realized what she was talking about.
"Yea well if we're going to be working together for all this then might as well start on first name basis. Only in private though."
"I can live with that. No name calling though." She said giving him a strange look. "From either side."
"Deal."
"So your golden boy noticed you." Draco said crossing his arms. Hermione nodded with a smile.
"He has. I saw Kiyo and she didn't look to happy."
"Well that's good then." He said with little enthusiasm.
"Draco what do you have first?"
"Potions." He said. She smiled and looked at him.
"Well then I'll see you there." She said walking away to get her book.
"Bloody muggle." He said and walked back to the great hall to get his things.
"Draco." A voiced called for him. He turned and saw someone he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Miss Averieale. Nice to see you." He said politely.
"Come off it Draco. I've known you since you were in diaper no need for the formalities until class." She said smiling. She opened up her arms laughing. "Come here you little brat."
Draco accepted the invitation and hugged her. Sure that no one was watching. Luckily for him no one was.
"I've missed you Medea." He said taking in his cousin's scent. She'd been the only one who ever played with him as a child even if she was a lot older than he was. He looked at her like an older sister and had confided in her his deepest secrets. "I've missed you too." She looked him up and down. "You've grown up. Not the little kid I remember."
"Well you should have come by more often. You would have seen me more." He said lightly.
"I could say the same for you." She smiled again. "How's your mum?"
Draco eyes faltered a little. "She's alright as can be expected."
"Well she should come to our house more often too. My mother misses her sister. We miss you too."
"Yeah well I've been busy with school and things." He said.
"Like conquest of women?" She said knowingly. Draco gave her a look. "Your reputation goes farther than you think."
"Oh." They started walking towards the dorms. "Well I have to go to potions. You'll be there right?"
"Course. I am the apple and thorns in Snape's eyes remember. Medea smiled. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
With that Draco walked into his dorm and got his things. Medea started walking back towards the main entrance to get her things. Her brother would be there in about an hour and he would bring her son. Draco had never seen Steven and she thought it would be good for him.
"Hermione Granger. Hermione. Where have I heard that name before? Damn it. She looks so much like Clover it isn't even funny."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The day went on with little events. Nevil exploded one of his potions again and that meant that potions were canceled for the day. Everyone was happy about that especially since they had double potions that day.
Hermione stayed with Ginny and Lavender for the rest of her classes and didn't see Draco Harry or Ron till dinner.
As she walked towards the great hall she noticed their new teacher walking towards the entrance.
"Miss Averieale? Do you need anything?" She asked. The teacher smiled
"No. I'm all right. It's just my brother was late coming here with my son. They're here now. Would you like to come with me?"
"Sure." She said smiling. They walked down to the entrance and saw a man with a little baby in his arms.
"Sorry I'm late." The man said with a strong American accent. "We got a little lost." He said smiling down at his little nephew.
"Hermione meet my brother. Deo. Deo this is Hogwarts top student Hermione Granger." Medea said happily taking her son from her brother's arms. "And this is Steven."
Hermione looked down at the little baby. He was tiny for a six month old. His sparkling blue eyes were a contrast to his jet-black hair. His skin was pale and he looked very well nourished.
"He's beautiful." She murmured looking at him. The baby looked back up at her and started cooing.
"He is. He seems to like you. Listen I have to get some things before dinner would you mind taking him into the great hall. If you see Draco let him see him. They are related."
"They are?" Hermione asked as Medea handed little Steven to her.
"Yes. We're cousins. From his mother's side. So this little treasure is his second cousin."
"Nice meeting you miss Hermione." Deo said smiling and walking with his sister to Dumbledore's office.
"So that' Draco's latest conquest?" Deo said out of nowhere.
"No. She's his latest project. I'm very happy we get to teach them muggle arts. He'll excel in that don't you worry. I just wonder what this little project of his will lead to."
"Hmm. Will his Malfoy ties come to pass and she'll just be in his black book or will the Averieale come out." He said grinning evilly.
"He's not his father Deo. You know that."
"You never know. Look what he did to aunt. You never know though I haven't seen him face to face yet. A the little git grow up yet?"
"Oh yes he did. No wonder so many women swoon over him." Medea laughed.
""Course. He gets that from his mum's side." Deo said smirking. "Might have his dad's eyes and hair but you got to admit we Averieale's are much more charming."
"Idiot." She murmured and entered Dumbledore's office.
Meanwhile Hermione was walking into the great hall where again many of the boys were staring at her. Even more wide eyed than before. Why was she carrying a baby?
"Uh Hermione that isn't' yours is it?" Ron asked when she sat down.
"Of course not stupid. He's Miss Averieale's. Steven this is Ron and Harry. Harry, Ron this is Steven." She said lifting the baby a little.
"Her Hermione. Draco is looking at you." Lavender whispered smiling. She had every intention of getting Harry as jealous as possible.
"Oh. I have to take Steven to him." She said getting up quickly. It was true but she caught the drift.
"Why would you have to take him to Malfoy?" Harry asked a little disgusted.
"Because this is his cousin." Hermione said without another word she walked over to the Slytherin table with little Steven in her arms.
Her hips swayed causing Harry to be hypnotized. Draco also watched the movement and grinned giving her a slight nod of approval but he looked confused about he baby.
"What are you doing here mud blood?" Pansy asked looking her up and down
"I'm here to speak to Draco." She said smiling. Purposely using his first name.
"Why would you have to talk to Draco Malfoy mud blood? Especially with that thing in your arms." She said looking at the baby in disgust.
Hermione ignored her and looked at Draco. "Miss Averieale told me that you had to meet him. His name is Steven and he is your second cousin."
Draco looked at the little boy in front of him. He gulped a little as Hermione gently placed him into his arms. Pansy immediately started cooing at the baby but Steven was not fooled. He started crying until Pansy moved away from him. He then started cooing at his cousin.
Hermione started to walk away but Steven started to cry. Draco tried hushing him but his little face started to scrunch up. Hermione took him back and started walking away but again Steven started crying.
Looking desperately at Draco he made room for her on the Slytherin table and offered her a seat. He knew better than to mess with his cousin's child. If he let the boy cry Medea would be on his back faster than he could call for help.
"She can't sit here. She's a Gryfinndor." Someone exclaimed.
"I don't really have a choice now do I?" Draco snapped. The baby stopped crying and reached out for Draco. He held him in his arms giving him a smirk. "You definitely take after your mum don't ya."
"Now this is something you don't see everyday." Hermione whispered. "Never though you were good with kids."
"There is a lot about me you don't know Granger. If you stick around you might just find out." He whispered back seductively. Hermione blushed and sat awkwardly with the Slytherin. After a while they stopped caring that she was there and started fussing over the child who would wave his little arms around and make things float.
Well everyone except for Pansy. She just gave death glares at both Hermione and the baby. Because of the git she had to move away from her precious Draco. A blessing in his eyes.
"I can not believe she's sitting next to him." Ron said. His face was as red as his hair at the moment. "She should just be with us and left the kid with him if it's his cousin."
"I think it's cute. They look so good together. Almost like a family." Ginny said sincerely. They watched as Draco grabbed little Steven's hand. Hermione laughed at something one of the students said. Her new swagger intrigued the Slytherin's and she was more than pleased to show off.
"Hermione. Our Hermione and a Malfoy. You've got to be kidding Ginny. She would never go with him. He's insulted her for all this time. Why would she start liking him now." Harry said gripping the table.
"I don't' know if you've notice Harry but Hermione has changed a lot lately. Maybe her taste in men has as well." Lavender commented.
"I didn't even think Hermione had a taste in men till this morning." Ron commented. Lavender had to admit. It was a really quick change. What had Draco done in that short time to make their old Hermione become this flirtatious goddess?
Medea entered the room with her brother and smiled broadly at Draco and Hermione.
"Thank you for looking after him. He can be a bit of a handful." She said.
"No it's alright. Well I'll see you later Draco." Hermione said teasingly and walked away. Draco followed her hips again smiling.
'Like I said I'm a master.'
'You certainly are.' A voice echoed in his head. He looked up and saw the shine in Medea's eyes. 'I just wonder what you're asking in return for that masterpiece.'
He just grinned and looked back at Hermione who was sitting back at the Gryfinndor table. He noticed Harry's eyes move down her chest and he let out a small growl.
'A week. Then next step.'
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
A week went by quickly for Hermione but for everyone else it went by slowly. Medea was a strict teacher when it came to potions but she would get her laughs teasing her old teacher once in a while. Draco would constantly watch his work in progress being flirted upon by everyone. Especially Harry and Ron.
Harry was having a hard time concentrating on anything but Hermione and the same applied to Ron. Lavender and Ginny were starting to worry about Hermione because in only a week the whole school was drooling over her.
The week went by and Draco got Hermione alone. Lavender and Ginny were not aware of this meeting and Hermione was later glad that they weren't.
"What the hell have you been doing Hermione?" Draco asked angrily. He couldn't even place why he was angry.
"What do you mean? I haven't done anything you haven't taught me." She said defensively.
"You've been flirting with every guy in the school. What are you some kind of slut?" He roared.
"NO of course not." She said with tears welling in her eyes. "Why do you care anyway?"
"You're my creation. Until I'm done you won't go off with anyone. Especially not Potter you understand me?"
She nodded. For some reason his eyes forced her to comply with his wishes. "No one touches you. You won't flirt with anyone if they flirt with you. Even if it ruins your little fun with potter. I say what goes Hermione. Until I say so I'm the only guy you will look at do you understand me?"
"You're hurting me." She said struggling against his grip. He didn't let go. "Let me go. I'm not yours."
"You are. Until I'm finished you are. What you do after is completely up to you but until it's over you're mine. NO one else's but mine." With that he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her fiercely. Too shocked to say or do anything she melted his lips to his. They were so warm and soft. His tongue explored her mouth sensually and she couldn't help finding irony in the fact he was in Slytherin. The snake.
He let go of her after that and stared at her with a possessiveness she had never seen. He started sucking gently on her neck and it was a harsh contrast to his kiss. Her voice found itself and she started to mewl softly as he kissed down her collarbone.
Did she want this? Yes. She wanted to learn. She wanted to learn everything he could teach her.
"Teach me." She whispered looking into his eyes. "Teach me everything you know."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" He said smiling. She had said the exact words he'd wanted to hear from her.
"Yes. Show me how to be a woman."
"Good. We'll continue the lesson from last week. Grab your brush." He whispered pulling away from her.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Am I evil? Yes. Is Draco hot? Absolutely. Will something bad come out of all this? You know it. Will anything good come out of it? Uh not sure yet. Well Draco has Hermione after only one week. What next? How will Ginny and Lavender take all this? Worse off. How will Harry and Ron take it?
How much do the new teachers know? What's going to happen in muggle class?
You'll find out if you review. Hehe.
Later.

Disclaimer. I really wish I owned Draco. Oh wait I do. Haha. No I don't. I don't own any character except those I create. I also own a gorgeous guy who is like an image of Draco only with red hair. Hehe.

"I agree entirely. These new courses will do the school much good." He said smiling as they reached the portrait.
"I just hope the students agree with you." Medea said smiling. "Though I think my brother and I can handle this."
"I do hope so. It will be only for the sixth and seventh years for now. Next year it's intended to be a whole grade course." Dumbledore said the password and a beautiful common room appeared. "I hope it's to your liking."
"Perfect. So I will come down to meet the teachers before breakfast. I hope I don't get lost though. It's been so long since I was last here."

Harry and Ron didn't look too pleased with this. Draco Malfoy was being nice to Hermione granger. More alarming. He had given her a compliment.

"I would also like to announce that Miss Averieale's brother will be also teaching here. They will be in charge of the new courses the school will offer for the next few semesters."
"I didn't think they could just add a new course so late in the year." Hermione whispered to her friends.
'Me neither." Ron said grumbling. They all looked at the lovely teacher. She was a beautiful woman everyone had to agree. She had blond streaks in her honey colored hair and he skin was a very beautiful tan color. She had curves and legs to die for and any man would love to have her as his wife.
"The course is an extensive look into the muggle world and how it affects our world. There will be many field trips and new things to study. Many of you will find this new section quite enjoyable. These new courses will take effect at the end of the semester. In the mean time Miss Averieale will be assisting in potions and Mr. Averieale will be assisting in defense and both will be teaching dueling.

"Yeah. At least she was. Dad says she was a fire ball when she came to school."
"Really." One of the girls asked.
"Yeah. Her dad and mine knew each other. Her mum would say stuff when they came over. She was usually practicing magic when I saw her."
"Oh Drakie you now so many people. You probably know royalty. You're so well known." Pansy said. Draco looked at her with disgust.
"Whatever." He sighed and looked at the Griffendor table. Harry was sitting next to his precious Kiyo and was giving glances at Hermione every so often. For some strange reason Draco didn't like that. He felt a sudden surge of possessiveness.
'Your masterpiece is for your eyes only until it's finished.' His mind whispered.
(I'm like that. I am really possessive over my work. I don't like anyone seeing it till I'm done.)
"Excuse me." He said walking towards the door. Catching Hermione's gaze he called her over to him. Luckily no one noticed. Well almost no one.
"Wonder what that's about?" Medea wondered watching Draco walk out with the brown haired beauty. "Draco Malfoy. Well it has been a while."
"You know him?" One of the teachers asked.
"Our families would spend the summers together when he was a child. Was a sweet baby though I remember his eyes were a lot shinier than they are now."
"He's said to become a death eater." Someone whispered to her. She shook her head
"No not him. Even now I can see it in his eyes. Might act like it. Won't though. You know that girl reminds me of someone. Just can't place who."
"Ahh that's Miss Hermione Granger." McGonagoll said proudly. "Our top student."
"Really. Like her mother or her father?" She asked with a smile
"Her parents are muggles I'm afraid." Snape said.
"She has talent though. Very good student. Why would she be with Draco Malfoy though?" McGonagoll whispered.
"Ah from my experience with Malfoy's they always have something planned." Medea said smiling. "Though if I didn't' know better I would say he didn't' look to happy about the way everyone's been staring at her."
"Well miss Granger doesn't usually dress like that you see."
"You know something. I remember when Draco was little. He was very private about his things. Especially when he worked with clay. He would only ever show me his finished work. Never showed me when it was half done."
"You really don't' think miss Granger is clay to him." Snape snorted.
"Don't put it against him. I never said it was a bad thing. Just said that I have a feeling he's putting more work into this project than he realizes."
"How would you know this Medea?" McGonagoll asked.
"Ah well. I know men. I know Malfoy's better than they may think. I know Draco well. He took pride in his work. I expect some good things from him." She smiled at her former teacher. "Besides you of all my old teachers should know what I could see."
"Really. What do you see happening?" One of the teachers asked curiously. Those who remembered her from school knew that she had an eye for these things. Especially for seeing into the future of people's souls.
"I can't really say. Like I sad he's a Malfoy and they are very hard to read. Though this game he plays will go either way. The stakes are higher than he realizes for himself and Miss granger."
"Are you assuming that they will have some sort of relationship?" Snape asked.
"Not assuming anything. Though I see very strong ties with the red head and the boy with the glasses. Harry Potter isn't he?"
"Yes. They've been friends for years."
"Well might be more than that." She said smiling. "Or maybe not."
"What would you happen to know that we don't see?" Snape asked. He remembered this girl very well. She was the top in potions class but was also the wild flower of Slytherin. He recognized her power to see into the future and knew she had something planned.
"I can't say but I can tell you this much. Life isn't going to be boring for a long time to come."
"I don't see what you could possibly mean." Snape said.
"You'll see soon enough. Will you all excuse me?" With that she got up and walked towards the door.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
"So what's this all about?" Hermione asked as she walked down the hall with Draco. He looked a little agitated and she didn't like it.
"You got some head turning Hermione." She stopped dead in her tracks. Draco stopped not realizing what he's said. "What?"
"You said my name." She said softly.
"What?"
"You called me Hermione." She whispered. They were very close to their dorm rooms and Draco realized what she was talking about.
"Yea well if we're going to be working together for all this then might as well start on first name basis. Only in private though."
"I can live with that. No name calling though." She said giving him a strange look. "From either side."
"Deal."
"So your golden boy noticed you." Draco said crossing his arms. Hermione nodded with a smile.
"He has. I saw Kiyo and she didn't look to happy."
"Well that's good then." He said with little enthusiasm.
"Draco what do you have first?"
"Potions." He said. She smiled and looked at him.
"Well then I'll see you there." She said walking away to get her book.
"Bloody muggle." He said and walked back to the great hall to get his things.
"Draco." A voiced called for him. He turned and saw someone he hadn't seen in a long time.
"Miss Averieale. Nice to see you." He said politely.
"Come off it Draco. I've known you since you were in diaper no need for the formalities until class." She said smiling. She opened up her arms laughing. "Come here you little brat."
Draco accepted the invitation and hugged her. Sure that no one was watching. Luckily for him no one was.
"I've missed you Medea." He said taking in his cousin's scent. She'd been the only one who ever played with him as a child even if she was a lot older than he was. He looked at her like an older sister and had confided in her his deepest secrets. "I've missed you too." She looked him up and down. "You've grown up. Not the little kid I remember."
"Well you should have come by more often. You would have seen me more." He said lightly.
"I could say the same for you." She smiled again. "How's your mum?"
Draco eyes faltered a little. "She's alright as can be expected."
"Well she should come to our house more often too. My mother misses her sister. We miss you too."
"Yeah well I've been busy with school and things." He said.
"Like conquest of women?" She said knowingly. Draco gave her a look. "Your reputation goes farther than you think."
"Oh." They started walking towards the dorms. "Well I have to go to potions. You'll be there right?"
"Course. I am the apple and thorns in Snape's eyes remember. Medea smiled. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."
With that Draco walked into his dorm and got his things. Medea started walking back towards the main entrance to get her things. Her brother would be there in about an hour and he would bring her son. Draco had never seen Steven and she thought it would be good for him.
"Hermione Granger. Hermione. Where have I heard that name before? Damn it. She looks so much like Clover it isn't even funny."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The day went on with little events. Nevil exploded one of his potions again and that meant that potions were canceled for the day. Everyone was happy about that especially since they had double potions that day.
Hermione stayed with Ginny and Lavender for the rest of her classes and didn't see Draco Harry or Ron till dinner.
As she walked towards the great hall she noticed their new teacher walking towards the entrance.
"Miss Averieale? Do you need anything?" She asked. The teacher smiled
"No. I'm all right. It's just my brother was late coming here with my son. They're here now. Would you like to come with me?"
"Sure." She said smiling. They walked down to the entrance and saw a man with a little baby in his arms.
"Sorry I'm late." The man said with a strong American accent. "We got a little lost." He said smiling down at his little nephew.
"Hermione meet my brother. Deo. Deo this is Hogwarts top student Hermione Granger." Medea said happily taking her son from her brother's arms. "And this is Steven."
Hermione looked down at the little baby. He was tiny for a six month old. His sparkling blue eyes were a contrast to his jet-black hair. His skin was pale and he looked very well nourished.
"He's beautiful." She murmured looking at him. The baby looked back up at her and started cooing.
"He is. He seems to like you. Listen I have to get some things before dinner would you mind taking him into the great hall. If you see Draco let him see him. They are related."
"They are?" Hermione asked as Medea handed little Steven to her.
"Yes. We're cousins. From his mother's side. So this little treasure is his second cousin."
"Nice meeting you miss Hermione." Deo said smiling and walking with his sister to Dumbledore's office.
"So that' Draco's latest conquest?" Deo said out of nowhere.
"No. She's his latest project. I'm very happy we get to teach them muggle arts. He'll excel in that don't you worry. I just wonder what this little project of his will lead to."
"Hmm. Will his Malfoy ties come to pass and she'll just be in his black book or will the Averieale come out." He said grinning evilly.
"He's not his father Deo. You know that."
"You never know. Look what he did to aunt. You never know though I haven't seen him face to face yet. A the little git grow up yet?"
"Oh yes he did. No wonder so many women swoon over him." Medea laughed.
""Course. He gets that from his mum's side." Deo said smirking. "Might have his dad's eyes and hair but you got to admit we Averieale's are much more charming."
"Idiot." She murmured and entered Dumbledore's office.
Meanwhile Hermione was walking into the great hall where again many of the boys were staring at her. Even more wide eyed than before. Why was she carrying a baby?
"Uh Hermione that isn't' yours is it?" Ron asked when she sat down.
"Of course not stupid. He's Miss Averieale's. Steven this is Ron and Harry. Harry, Ron this is Steven." She said lifting the baby a little.
"Her Hermione. Draco is looking at you." Lavender whispered smiling. She had every intention of getting Harry as jealous as possible.
"Oh. I have to take Steven to him." She said getting up quickly. It was true but she caught the drift.
"Why would you have to take him to Malfoy?" Harry asked a little disgusted.
"Because this is his cousin." Hermione said without another word she walked over to the Slytherin table with little Steven in her arms.
Her hips swayed causing Harry to be hypnotized. Draco also watched the movement and grinned giving her a slight nod of approval but he looked confused about he baby.
"What are you doing here mud blood?" Pansy asked looking her up and down
"I'm here to speak to Draco." She said smiling. Purposely using his first name.
"Why would you have to talk to Draco Malfoy mud blood? Especially with that thing in your arms." She said looking at the baby in disgust.
Hermione ignored her and looked at Draco. "Miss Averieale told me that you had to meet him. His name is Steven and he is your second cousin."
Draco looked at the little boy in front of him. He gulped a little as Hermione gently placed him into his arms. Pansy immediately started cooing at the baby but Steven was not fooled. He started crying until Pansy moved away from him. He then started cooing at his cousin.
Hermione started to walk away but Steven started to cry. Draco tried hushing him but his little face started to scrunch up. Hermione took him back and started walking away but again Steven started crying.
Looking desperately at Draco he made room for her on the Slytherin table and offered her a seat. He knew better than to mess with his cousin's child. If he let the boy cry Medea would be on his back faster than he could call for help.
"She can't sit here. She's a Gryfinndor." Someone exclaimed.
"I don't really have a choice now do I?" Draco snapped. The baby stopped crying and reached out for Draco. He held him in his arms giving him a smirk. "You definitely take after your mum don't ya."
"Now this is something you don't see everyday." Hermione whispered. "Never though you were good with kids."
"There is a lot about me you don't know Granger. If you stick around you might just find out." He whispered back seductively. Hermione blushed and sat awkwardly with the Slytherin. After a while they stopped caring that she was there and started fussing over the child who would wave his little arms around and make things float.
Well everyone except for Pansy. She just gave death glares at both Hermione and the baby. Because of the git she had to move away from her precious Draco. A blessing in his eyes.
"I can not believe she's sitting next to him." Ron said. His face was as red as his hair at the moment. "She should just be with us and left the kid with him if it's his cousin."
"I think it's cute. They look so good together. Almost like a family." Ginny said sincerely. They watched as Draco grabbed little Steven's hand. Hermione laughed at something one of the students said. Her new swagger intrigued the Slytherin's and she was more than pleased to show off.
"Hermione. Our Hermione and a Malfoy. You've got to be kidding Ginny. She would never go with him. He's insulted her for all this time. Why would she start liking him now." Harry said gripping the table.
"I don't' know if you've notice Harry but Hermione has changed a lot lately. Maybe her taste in men has as well." Lavender commented.
"I didn't even think Hermione had a taste in men till this morning." Ron commented. Lavender had to admit. It was a really quick change. What had Draco done in that short time to make their old Hermione become this flirtatious goddess?
Medea entered the room with her brother and smiled broadly at Draco and Hermione.
"Thank you for looking after him. He can be a bit of a handful." She said.
"No it's alright. Well I'll see you later Draco." Hermione said teasingly and walked away. Draco followed her hips again smiling.
'Like I said I'm a master.'
'You certainly are.' A voice echoed in his head. He looked up and saw the shine in Medea's eyes. 'I just wonder what you're asking in return for that masterpiece.'
He just grinned and looked back at Hermione who was sitting back at the Gryfinndor table. He noticed Harry's eyes move down her chest and he let out a small growl.
'A week. Then next step.'
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
A week went by quickly for Hermione but for everyone else it went by slowly. Medea was a strict teacher when it came to potions but she would get her laughs teasing her old teacher once in a while. Draco would constantly watch his work in progress being flirted upon by everyone. Especially Harry and Ron.
Harry was having a hard time concentrating on anything but Hermione and the same applied to Ron. Lavender and Ginny were starting to worry about Hermione because in only a week the whole school was drooling over her.
The week went by and Draco got Hermione alone. Lavender and Ginny were not aware of this meeting and Hermione was later glad that they weren't.
"What the hell have you been doing Hermione?" Draco asked angrily. He couldn't even place why he was angry.
"What do you mean? I haven't done anything you haven't taught me." She said defensively.
"You've been flirting with every guy in the school. What are you some kind of slut?" He roared.
"NO of course not." She said with tears welling in her eyes. "Why do you care anyway?"
"You're my creation. Until I'm done you won't go off with anyone. Especially not Potter you understand me?"
She nodded. For some reason his eyes forced her to comply with his wishes. "No one touches you. You won't flirt with anyone if they flirt with you. Even if it ruins your little fun with potter. I say what goes Hermione. Until I say so I'm the only guy you will look at do you understand me?"
"You're hurting me." She said struggling against his grip. He didn't let go. "Let me go. I'm not yours."
"You are. Until I'm finished you are. What you do after is completely up to you but until it's over you're mine. NO one else's but mine." With that he pressed his lips against hers and kissed her fiercely. Too shocked to say or do anything she melted his lips to his. They were so warm and soft. His tongue explored her mouth sensually and she couldn't help finding irony in the fact he was in Slytherin. The snake.
He let go of her after that and stared at her with a possessiveness she had never seen. He started sucking gently on her neck and it was a harsh contrast to his kiss. Her voice found itself and she started to mewl softly as he kissed down her collarbone.
Did she want this? Yes. She wanted to learn. She wanted to learn everything he could teach her.
"Teach me." She whispered looking into his eyes. "Teach me everything you know."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" He said smiling. She had said the exact words he'd wanted to hear from her.
"Yes. Show me how to be a woman."
"Good. We'll continue the lesson from last week. Grab your brush." He whispered pulling away from her.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Am I evil? Yes. Is Draco hot? Absolutely. Will something bad come out of all this? You know it. Will anything good come out of it? Uh not sure yet. Well Draco has Hermione after only one week. What next? How will Ginny and Lavender take all this? Worse off. How will Harry and Ron take it?
How much do the new teachers know? What's going to happen in muggle class?
You'll find out if you review. Hehe.
Later.
