Meeting the Malfoys

Hermione woke up to a startle having awoken from a horrible dream. She saw Draco Malfoy right in front of her sitting on her bed smirking at her. Hermione groaned realizing how early it was.

"Come on Hermione. Get up. We are suppose to be downstairs ready to floo in 30 minutes." Draco said.

"Fine. I will be out in a couple of minutes. I guess I will take my shower later. Now get out." Hermione yelled at him.

"Fine." Draco spat at her and left her room slamming the door.

She quickly got out of bed and got a pair of light blue jeans and a white tank top. She quickly put on some white flip flops. "Wingardium Leviosa" She said pointing at her trunk with her wand. She was too tired to use her telekenetic powers to move the trunk. She walked downstairs with the trunk in front of her.

She was walking towars the common room's magic doorway when Draco stopped her. "Where do you think your going?" Draco asked.

"I am going to say bye to Ron." Hermione said.

"No you're not. We don't have enough time." Draco said grabbing her arm and pulling her onto a couch.

"Get the hell of of me. Who the bloody hell do you think you are." Hermione asked her eyes glaring at him. "You can't control me. And I am going to go say bye to my boyfriend." She said and walked out of the common room.

Draco just sat on the couch replaying the last words. 'I am going to say bye to my boyfriend.' She had already found someone else, when it was tearing him up inside. She already replaced him.

After about 30 minutes Hermione came into the common room looking angry. "Whats bugging you?" Draco asked sounding colder then he meant me.

"I ran into your little cronies." Hermione said trying to hold back the tears forming in her eyes.

"What did they do?" Draco asked angry noticing her tears.

"Why do you care?" Hermione snapped. "Lets go already."

Draco got some floo powder out of the bowl beside on the coffee table and step into the fire place with his luggage. "Malfoy Mansion!" He yelled and threw the powder onto the ground and he disappearing in green flames.

Hermione did the same. When she finally stopped spining she stepped out and noticed that she was in a huge living room. It was bigger then the Gryffindor commom room. There were antiques everywhere and everything looked very expensive. She noticed that everything was decorated in greens and silvers.

"Welcome Miss Granger." A cold voice said. Lucius Malfoy stepped in front of her and took her hand and kissed the back of it. His touch was so cold that she felt her body shiver. Lucius smirked at seeing her response.

"Thank you Mister Malfoy. Please call me Hermione." Hermione tried to say as polite as she could. Which was hard to be to a murderer.

"And feel free to call me Lucius." Lucius said. She just simply nodded. "Draco please show Hermione to her room. It is the room next to yours."

"Yes father." Draco said. He picked up his and Hermione's luggage and started up to the stairs. Hermione followed him not saying anything while too busy looking around.

They came to a huge corrider that seems to go on forever. "Here is your room. If you need anything my room is next door." Draco said placing her bag in a room and coming out and going into the room next to hers.

"Thank You." Hermione said smiling. Draco just paused for a minute and resumed walking in his room.

Hermione entered her room. It was beautiful. It was decorated in Silver and Green. They obviously took great pride in being Slytherins. She saw that there was a magical wardobe in her room like at Hogwarts. She had a king size bed with a silver canopy hanging over the dark green comforter with deep silver pillows. Like her room, there were french doors that led to a balcony, most likely connected with Draco's room. Hermione saw a door to her right and went up to it.

On the door knob was a silver snake wrapped around it. She opened the door and found it to be the biggest bathroom she had ever saw. There was a tub that was the same as the one at Hogwarts. There was a shower that could easily fit five people in it. There was the usual toilet and sink with oak countertops. At the far end there was a vanity. She walked up to it and began looking through the drawers. She found the most expensive make up fully stocked.

"Looking for something?" A voice said. She looked behind her and no one was there. "In front of you." Hermione saw also a face in the mirror.

"You're the mirror?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah. So you are the girl that Mister Malfoy is deeply in love with." The mirror said observing her. "He seems to have good taste."

"Thank you. But Draco and I aren't together. I doubt he loves me. I found him cheating on me, that is why I ended it." Hermione said.

"You sure? Well, I am sure that you two will figure it out." The mirror said. Hermione made her way to leave. "Oh before you go I would like to tell you that my name is Emma." Hermione nodded and exited the bathroom.

Hermione looked around her room. She waved her hand and all of her clothes folded itself and flew into the drawer next to the wardrobe. She took out her journal and put it in on the bed. She folded the bag and placed it in the back of the wadrobe.

She decided to go looking around. After a few minutes she found herself lost. She sat on the floor resting her back against the wall. All of the hallways seemed so dark. She noticed a figure move in one of the shadows.

"Who's there?" She asked pulling out her wand.

"Its just me." Draco said stepping out of the shadow. "Lost, are we?" He said smirking.

"Yeah." Hermione said putting her wand away.

"Well, I was just on my way to the kitchens. Are you hungry?" Draco asked.

"Yeah a little." Hermione said.

"Well, just follow me." Draco said walking down the corrider. Hermione followed behind him not wanting to talk. "Can I ask you a questionn?" Draco asked. Hermione nodded. "Why won't you take me back?" He asked softly.

"You just hurt me so much. When I saw you kissing Pavarti, I could feel my heart breaking." Hermione said tears slowly coming down her cheeks.

"But why go to Weasley? Do you really like him?" Draco asked.

"No. I love him like a brother. We were walking down a hallway and I was going to break up with him but your friends interrupted us and I remembered that you were waiting for me and I told them that I would see him in a couple of days. I am going to break up with him when we go back to Hogwarts." Hermione said.

"Hermione please forgive me. I am really sorry for kissing Pavarti. It is the worst thing that I have done in my life." Draco said begging. i (A/D: Wow, a Malfoy begging. What is the world coming too? ;) Now back to the story.) /i

Hermione looked at him and knew that he was really sorry. "I forgive you Draco. I love you and I am sorry that I broke up with you." Hermione said crying.

"Its alright. I am just glad that I have you now." Draco said kissing her lightly.

Hermione pulled back and smiled. "Thanks Draco."

"Here we are." Draco said opening a large gold door open for her. "The Kitchens" She went through the door and saw millons of house elves running around like crazy.

Suddenly one popped out of no where and led them to a table and handed them a menu. "What would you like Mister and Miss?"

"I will take just a coffee please." Draco said.

Hermione looked at the menu. "I would like just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." The house elve nodded and disappeared and reappeared with their orders.

The ate (or in Draco's case drank) in silence. Suddenly Draco dropped his cup and winced in pain as he held his arm. "The Dark Lord is summoning us." He said.

Hermione gulped. She didn't expect to see Voldemolt so soon. Hermione conjured up a robe shaking slightly. Draco grabbed her hand comforting her and they apparated to the living room.

There were several Deatheaters already there, including Lucius. Hermione and Draco joined the circle. Lucius walked over to them with a smug smirk on his face. "The Dark Lord wishes for you to recieve the Dark Mark earlier then planned." Lord Voldemolt appeared in the middle of the circle and they all bowed down to him.

"Up." He said. "Miss Granger." Voldemolt purred. Hermione stepped forward bowing down so low that her head touched the bottom of his robes. "Up." Hermione rose. "Now lets see if we can find something for appropirate for you to wear. Convertire." Voldemolt said waving his wand at Hermione.

Hemione's robes became a low rise black mini skirt that barely covered her privates with a deep blood red backless halter top that was cut off a couple of inches above her belly botton which left her stomach highly exposed. He eyes were outline in black and her lips became blood red to match her top. Her legs were covered in black fish net stockings and on her feet appeared long knee length boots that gave her two more inches in height. He hair was let loose and fell down her back in soft curls.

"Now that's better."Hermione couldn't stand the way she looked. Draco however, was staring at her with great amazement. Voldemolt held out her arm and tapped it with his wand. Insufferable pain went through her whole body. She felt like she couldn't stand it. She wanted to die right there and end the pain. She fell onto her knees. It finally stopped. She was still weak from the pain and couldn't get up.

Draco stepped foward and slid his arms around her small waist helping her up from her knees. He pulled her out of the middle of the circle and they joined the Deatheaters. He pulled her close to him and kissed her. It was full of passion and love. He pulled back and smiled. Then one of them brought a little boy, who couldn't be any older than 10 and placed him in the circle.

The little boy was trembling. He was wearing muggle clothes, but he didn't look like a muggle. He looked like a wizard. Voldermolt got close and pointed his wand at the boy.

"Crucio", Voldermolt said.

The little boy dropped to his knees and cried out in pain. Hermione could barely stand it. But she couldn't move, she wanted to help him, but she knew that she couldn't. Tears started to find their way in her eyes. Draco pulled her closer and tighten his grip around her waist. She suddenly felt safe in his arms and warm. She felt protected and loved.

"Now Miss Grangers turn." Voldemolt said.

Hermione walked up to the little boy. She raised her wand and yelled, "Crucio!" The boy once again fell to his knees and cried in pain.

"Now kill him!" Voldemolts voice rang through the room.

Hermione gulp. 'Please forgive me' She thought. "Avada Kedeva!" A green light came from her way and hit the little boy and he fell over limp. He was dead. Hermione fought her tears back and joined the circle of Deatheaters. Draco put a protective arm around her and she felt a little better.

"Good. Welcome Miss Granger." Voldemolt said. "Now to business. We will need for our two students to be able to get as much information from Dumbledore and Potter as we can. You must not let them suspect you." He said in a strong firm voice.

"Yes my Lord." Draco and Hermione said as they bowed their heads.

"Good." Voldemolt said with an evil smile. "Dumbledore has trained another to be just as good as Potter. But since Potter is the only one that can kill me he has another use for them. Your job is to find who it is a bring them to me and to find out he use. Their power is limitless so I will be needing to tap into that power if I am to beat Potter. Now you must have this information before the school term ends. Do you understand?"

They both nodded. All of the Deatheaters bowed and Voldemolt disappeared.

Lucius turned to Hermione and smirked. "Welcome Miss Granger. Now you may retire to your room." Lucius bowed to her and left the room.

"Weird." Draco said as they walked towards their room.

"Whats weird?" Hermione said walking beside Draco her fingers laced with his.

"My father was actually polite to you." Draco said. "He is always mean to the other deatheaters."

"I guess there is something about me that he likes." Hermione said entering her room.

"Yeah I guess." Draco said following her. "What do you want to do now?"

"I don't know. What is your favorite thing to do?" Hermione said smiling.

"Quidditch." Draco said grinning. Hermione frowned. "Come on. I will teach you."

"Ok but if I fall and you don't catch me then we get to spend a full day shopping." Hermione said smirking.

Draco gulped. "Fine." He finally said after thinking for a while. "Follow me." He said walking into his room. They came to a small room where there were all sorts of brooms. He pulled out his Firebolt 5000 and a Firebolt 3001 for Hermione. "Here it isn't too fast. You can start with them then you can use the new versions."

They walked out of the balcony and kicked off. The last time Hermione experianced flying was in their first year. It felt great. After a couple of hours of playing Quidditch they finally got tired and headed for their rooms. When they got there, there was a note on Draco's bed. It read:

i Mister Malfoy and Miss Granger,

You will be required to attend a ball on Sunday. The occasion is to celebrate Miss Granger's marking ceremony. It will be held in the ball room. The dress is formal and I expect you to be there at promptly 7:30 ready to make an entrance when you are announced. Have a lovely night.

center Narcissa Malfoy, /center /i

"Does Voldemolt come to these balls?" Hermione asked quietly.

"I'm afraid so." Draco said looking down.

"I can't stay in the same room with that murder. I killed a little boy today. I can't take it." Hermione broke down in a fit of sob. She had been holding that in ever since she killed that innocent little boy.

"Its alright. It will all be worth it in the end." Draco said putting his arms around her as she cried her eyes out. "Do you want to stay with me tonight?" Hermione lifted her head and nodded.

"I'm sorry Draco for being like this. I have to get use to it. I am going to go change." Hermione gave him peck on the cheek and went through the balcony to her room. She quickly changed in some short shorts and cami. When she went back to Draco's room he was only in his boxer getting into bed.

Hermione blushed a little and got into bed next to him. Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione as she feel asleep.

'This is how it is suppose to be.' Draco thought. He loved this girl. He will always love her. He feel asleep as dreams filled his head of their future life together.
