Chapter 38

Hermione blinked her eyes. The canopy was black.

'That's not right.' She thought to herself 'my canopy at Hogwarts is red and I don't have one at home.' She lay silent on the silk sheets trying to remember and after a while she did and started crying.

She curled herself up in to a tight ball and didn't notice the sounds of a shower being turned off, nor did she notice the bathroom door open and a towel clad Cercis walk out of it over to the bed where she lay oblivious to his presence.

He stopped by the bed and looked down at the pet he had retrieved the day before.

'The stupid mudblood is crying, again!' he smirked and knelt down onto the bed, the girl didn't notice, so Cercis pressed his advantage. Wrapping his right arm around her waist and pulling her body into his.

Her crying stopped at the contact and she turned her head to look at him.

"Morning" he greeted kindly, portraying a fake sense of security for the girl.

She sniffed and replied in a tired voice. "Good morning Cercis."

He smiled kindly at her, and leant forward and kissed her. She responded and he moved positioning himself over her small body, the towel became unhooked and he pressed his body tightly against her. She moaned slightly in response and he continued to take advantage of her. Waving his hand slightly to remove the bed sheets and he clothes and the towel away from them. She broke off the kiss and looked at him.

"Cercis I don't . . ." she began but Cercis cut her off by kissing her again, this time a lot more harsher. He pinned both of her hands together above her head and held them there with his left hand. He used his legs to spread hers and she broke the kiss off again.

"Cercis please don't . . ." she tried again and he looked down at her again. It was then that she noticed the look in his eyes. The coldness countered only by his hunger for something. He smirked and thrust himself into her, she moaned and Cercis responded by thrusting harder.

"Cercisssssssssssss!" she cried out, he smirked again and muttered.

"Crucio!" Hermione screamed again. This time in pain. He laughed and got off of her. He dressed and moved towards the door.

"Hurry girl there is someone who wishes to meet you" he grinned and watched her move slowly over to the wardrobe and she pulled out one of the robes that had been sent to the room. It was Gryffindor red. Cercis watched her pull it on smiling cruelly as he saw her wince in pain.

She walked towards him and he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the room, down the stairs and back into the front room.

"Good morning Lucius." He greeted the blonde man.

Lucius turned to face him, "Good morning Cercis, ah I see your new pet has arrived."

"Yes sir, she arrived last night." Lucius motioned for him to sit down in on of the leather chairs that were opposite where Lucius stood. Cercis complied. He was still dragging along Hermione. As he sat down he pulled her down with him, she sat on the chair and Lucius sneered at her. Cercis then pushed her off of it and she landed on the floor with a bump.

"Ow." She said rubbing her backside. Cercis slapped her.

"You'll speak when spoken to." He snapped.

Lucius sat down too, "She needs training." He commented.

"Yes sir, however as do I."

"You're magical training will begin shortly, however we have other things to discus, Philip came to me yesterday evening." Cercis raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment. Lucius did.

 "Cercis please, Philip Jugson, is not even worth my time." Cercis just smirked.

"He said that you claimed the girl to be yours."

"That is correct sir." Cercis replied.

"He also said that you used your rank to have power over him."

Cercis nodded, "That too is correct. Hermione is mine and mine alone."

Lucius surveyed the girl before him. "Stand up girl!" he barked, Hermione did so. Lucius adopted an evil look upon his face and pulled out his wand. "Imperio."

The spell hit Hermione, and she fell under its power.

"Now be a good girl and take off your robe." He said calmly. Cercis stood and moved over to the other chair, sitting next to Lucius. Hermione complied and began to undo her robe. She shrugged it off her shoulders and it fell to the floor in a puddle around her feet.

Both men took in her figure. It was surprisingly curvy. Cercis flicked his wrist and his dagger Draconis appeared in his hand. He stood and slowly moved over to where she stood, Lucius watched him.

Cercis lifted the dagger and ran its tip down from her temple, scratching but not drawing blood. The tip of the dagger made its way over her cheek, past her jaw, down her neck, between her breasts, over her stomach and down her left thigh.

He smirked and held her left arm in his left hand, raising Draconis in his right hand. He began to carve into her skin, the Dark Mark, which was slightly altered to having a sword imbedded through the roof of the skull.

Curious Lucius stood and moved over to see what he was carving, when he saw he ran his fingers over the scarred skin, "Beautiful." He murmured.

"It means she is mine. Entwined within the scars is a curse, it will never heal, she will obey me alone and she will never question. It is a curse of my own invention."

Lucius was staring transfixed at the mark; "It also draws others into it, making them want to join too."

Lucius was ignoring him. "Crucio!" the curse hit Lucius and he shock under it, Cercis lifted it and the man turned to face him. Anger evident on his features.

"How dare you curse me!" he spat.

Cercis merely smirked, "You were transfixed it was the only way I could think to wake you up."

Lucius sneered at him, "Come its time for breakfast." He moved over to the door and exited it. Cercis turned to Hermione.

"Dress yourself." She did. "Follow me." He too, then left the front room, Hermione in tow.
