Chapter Four: White
"I don't like white. It pretends to be so pure and clean but will become any color.
It's the color that seduces me the most. I can't keep from taking it by force"
-- George, Paradise Kiss v. 4
Voldemort watched the eerily transparent outlines of Hermione and Draco with a sneer.
Watched as their souls were bound for all eternity
Even if one of them were to die the other soul would linger waiting for its mate to join it before moving on to the after life, if there was such a thing
No matter where one of the blood bonded went they would always have a piece of their mate.
Share a perspective with that person.
Know what that person was feeling
Thinking
It was a weakness
A willingly inflicted weakness
Voldemort could not understand someone willingly accepting the debility.
He had offered it simply to gauge the depths of Draco's feelings for the girl.
Draco had accepted
Voldemort grimaced
He would have trouble taking her back.
Voldemort smiled
But he would have her back
Voldemort always got what was his in the end
He faded into the shadows leaving the ghostly outlines alone
~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was dreaming
She was sure of it
She believed in magic
But nothing she had read in the vast, dusty libraries of Hogwarts had talked about blood bonding
That was the phrase Voldemort had used, blood bonding
Maybe it was dark magic
Even the name had the ring of evil
(A/N~blood tends to have that affect)
But why would Malfoy be in her dreams?
But Malfoy was here.
She felt a hand on her shoulder
A gentle pressure slowly turning her around to face Draco
And just as slowly his lips met hers (A/N ~ it had to happen x___x)
At first slow gentle brush of lips and then slowly deepened the kiss
He gently wrapped his hand around the milky column of her throat and squeezed lightly
And took the kiss even deeper
A vicious, tender, edgy kiss that narrowed Hermione's perception to where their mouths met
(A/N O____o *pukes into waste basket* ugh that was awful)
Suddenly Hermione was back in her body, her limbs chilled from the marble floor, aware of every ache and pain in her stiffened body.
"ugh" Hermione groaned and then sat up with a small whimper.
She rubber her hand back and forth across her mouth
'Did…did I just kiss Malferret?'
Draco opened his eyes and studied the enchanted ceiling of the great hall and grinned
That was something
Who would expect that Granger could kiss?
Back in school he'd always figured her for an ice princess
His grin grew even wider
Boy was he wrong
Having her blood bonded might be more interesting then he had originally thought
He got to his feet with a graceful flourish, his wizard's robes billowing
In fact it would be a load of fun
He couldn't wait to get her to her new home
And get her alone
In a bedroom
Quite possibly naked
His grin grew even wider (A/N~ if that is at all possible) at the image
Hermione's groan brought him back to reality
"My dear" Draco purred "allow me to assist you" He reached out his hand to help Hermione up, and it was violently slapped away.
"Don't touch me you perv." Hermione said through clenched teeth
"what have I done to deserve a name as foul as pervert?" Draco asked innocently
Hermione's face flamed red
"You…YOU KISSED ME!" Hermione shouted from her seat on the floor
"You didn't seem to mind" Draco said in an exaggeratedly ignorant voice
Hermione made a noise very close to a growl and Draco backed away.
"Don't. Touch. Me" Hermione said in slow English. If Draco wanted to play dumb then she'd oblige him.
With a little groan, and very little ceremony, Hermione hoisted herself to her feet. Bending over a little she rubbed her legs, careful not to remove any of the scabs that traced up and down her legs, trying to bring feeling back into the frozen limbs. When she lifted her hand away she noticed a smear of blood where her left hand had been. Turning over her hand she stared at the slash across her palm that was still oozing blood.
Hermione gave a very un lady like squeal
"LOOK! LOOK AT WHAT YOUR GOD DAMN MASTER DID TO ME!" Hermione screeched
"He did it to me to my dear. And nobody will notice one more scar." He said indicating his own hand and then her slash marked arms, back, and legs.
"I don't care! I didn't do anything to deserve this one! And what was up with that stupid blood bonding thing anyways? Voldemort mumbles some cheesy chant that sounded like it came out of some corny horror film that they play on late night television, and then I get ripped out of my body, and then you kiss me." Hermione fairly shouted the words in Draco's face. "I'd rather be back in the dungeon"
Draco sneered "Watch your mouth wench. It isn't good to displease your master" He smoothed back his white blond hair and brushed an imaginary piece of lint from his sleeve.
"Oooh…WHY YOU LITTLE…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was determined to make Draco's life a living hell.
Anything she could do to him
She would do
Anything that would conceivably cause pain
She would discover it
Utilize it
He would not get away with making her his slave
Hermione made this vow silently as she paced back and forth across the plush room she was being held in until Draco could organize a flying carriage to take them back to his manor.
She studied the blue velvet hangings and the matching blue bed spread
The fines mahogany trousseau
For a man that hated muggles Voldemort certainly had a lot of the nicer muggle items
She walked over to the spelled window.
To have freedom be so close
But so unattainable made her heart give a little twinge
She missed it
The freedom
The caring
She missed her family
Her friends
Harry
Ron
Ginny
Crookshanks
She missed everything about her old life
Even the merciless taunting she had endured both in the muggle world and the wizarding world had taken on the glow of the desired
She pressed her face against the chilled glass and stared up at the stars
Eyes scanning the heavens for the star Harry had sworn on
Sworn never to leave her
Her BLUE (A/N~ hahahah take that bitch. Sorry continue) eyes looked at the icy pinprick through a veil of tears.
Hermione grimaced at the familiar pain she felt when remembering
Hermione turned away from the window
Remembering wouldn't help bring him back
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco dropped the bag he was carrying
Draco felt a pain in his chest
An ache in his heart
He felt the need to cry
Memories of…Harry, Harry and Hermione together flashed through his mind
He grimaced in disgust
It was disgusting
How any two people could be that lovey dovey and not throw up was a mystery
He watched as Harry came up behind Hermione in the library at Hogwarts and awkwardly kissed her
Their first kiss
Draco snorted
He could kiss better then that when he was in diapers
He watched as Harry and Hermione danced under the stars
Watched Harry promise never to leave her
'Screwed that one up didn't you lover boy?' Draco thought
He watched the time Harry had snuck into the girl's dormitory
Had woken Hermione and taken her to the secluded alcove in the gardens
Watched their kiss grow deeper and deeper
Watched Harry's hand slide down Hermione's body and unbuttoned her blouse…
Draco shook his head to clear the foreign memories
He didn't want to watch Harry and Hermione go at it.
And on a park bench no less
Outside
Like animals.
His lip curled in disdain
He picked up the bag and continued on to Hermione's room
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione laid back on the big springy bed that was placed dead center in the obnoxiously ornate room she was locked up in.
She'd just close her eyes for a little…
Everything was nicer when her eyes were closed.
The pain seemed less real
It was an escape
…
Even if it was just a momentary one
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That's where Draco found her.
Curled on her side like a dragon guarding its treasure
Or a little girl with a stomach ache
Her tiny fist placed on the pillow next to her lightly parted mouth
Her hair spilled over her shoulders and a few stray strands fell across her face
She seemed so young without those intelligent blue eyes spitting fire at him
So vulnerable
When she was awake he forgot how small she was
A mere 5'3 to his lanky 6'4
She just seemed so formidable when she was awake
He forgot that he had to watch his strength
He knew what power his fists could wield when he was in a rage
I have to protect her from everything
…
Even myself.
He brushed the fiery hair away from her pale face
Tenderly traced the shadows under her eyes
The prominent bones of her cheek bones
He'd protect her.
He quietly picked up the bag he had came in with and gently slid his arms under Hermione and picked her up,
Carrying her swiftly and silently out of the room, down the stairs, across the front lawn, and into the lushly appointed carriage, he laid her down gently on the soft velvet seat and smiled when she didn't move a muscle.
He sat down across from her and watched her in her sleep
The enchanted carriage rose silently into the starry sky
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hermione awoke with a start to Draco's gentle snoring
She sat up slowly her neck and back stiff from the seat of the carriage
She swung her feet onto the floor and pressed her face against the enchanted window of the enchanted carriage
And stared out and the inky night that was shot through with holes that surrounded them
She always wondered about the sky
When she was little she used to think that the sky was just blindingly white
And god realized Humans wouldn't understand the beauty of something so pure
So he had spread a blanket over the world just like a human would do to the parrot's cage.
But the blanket had been old and worn and had many holes in it which allowed her and the other humans that graced this planet to catch a glimpse of that great white expanse.
The pureness of what the sky should have been
But she knew now all about outer space. Star, novas, planetismals, planets, and the practical side of her mind wouldn't let herself indulge in such childish fancies.
Oh but how she longed for the days when she could.
Back in the days before she had become Know it all Granger
When their had been simple wants
Simple needs
Simple goals
Go to college
Get married
Have children
Back when she had understood her wants and needs
Before everything had gotten complicated
Before she had discovered she was a witch
Even though she had been a witch as long as she could remember
Not exactly known that she was a witch but known that she was different
Known that she could do things normal children couldn't
Like the time Devon McGuiness had stolen her back pack and hit her when she tried to get it back. The next day he had come to school with a huge wart on his nose.
As far as she knew it was still there.
Or the time Susie Carmichael had teased her about her teeth
And a huge gust of wind had blown, through a window left carelessly open, her dress up over her head in front of the entire school to see at an assembly
Hermione sighed
It looked to her like she would never have what she wanted
Maybe things would have been different if she hadn't had powers
If Harry hadn't died.
Hermione was lulled back to sleep by Draco's gentle snoring
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco awoke as the carriage bumped down onto the front lawn of his mansion
Home sweet home
He grinned
Now the fun would really start
He glanced over at Hermione
Her head was resting against the enchanted glass of the carriage
Her mouth parted and breathing lightly
It really would be a shame to wake her
But what would his servants say if he came in carrying her?
The girl who was supposed to be a slave?
Fuck the servants he would do what ever the hell he wanted
And as he had at Hogwarts he gently picked her up and carried her to the house
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next time Hermione awoke it was in another bedroom
But unlike the one at Hogwarts she had been locked up in this one was tastefully decorated in royal blue and silver.
The first thing she did was try all the doors.
One lead to a beautiful blue tiled bath room with a Jacuzzi tub
The other lead to what looked to be an office
But the last door wouldn't open
She tried all the windows but they were spelled firmly shut just like the ones at Hogwarts and the ones in the carriage
'I'm locked in' She fumed
Might as well make the best of it
Hermione got to work on snooping
The oak armoire contained a TV.
Hermione just stared at it
The familiar magic box
The box that would suck the brains out of your head through your nose
The box she had spent so many hours in front of when she was a child
Just looking at it made her want to cry.
"My dear old friend" Hermione sighed wistfully "how I have missed you."
She stroked her hand along the smooth surface
Her hand hovered over the ON button but doors and drawers she had yet to open called to her.
The night stand next to the comfy blue bed she had woken up in contained the remote control to the TV, and another remote control to the stereo.
A walk in closet concealed so that the door looked like another wall contained clothes that only took up a tiny fraction of the huge space. 4 different wizards robes. Five suits with the label of what she knew to be an expensive french designer that were tailor made for the owner. The next thing she found surprised her. Neatly hidden in between stacks of boxer shorts was a leather bound book.
'Malfoy…keeping a diary? Isn't that a little girly?' Hermione thought as she tried to open the book.
It was spelled firmly shut and wouldn't open no matter how hard she tugged on the cover
Her hands itched for a wand
Just imagine what she could do to Malfoy if she could open that book?
Hermione gave one last half hearted tug on the cover of the book and then left the closet to wander around the room.
The office contained book cases bulging with books
Hermione breathed in the scent of dust she always accompanied with the library at Hogwarts where she had spent so many hours in wonderful solitude surrounded by her favorite things
Books
Hermione smiled
She would read later
She turned on her heels and headed towards the bathroom
Hermione opened the door and stared at the wonderful, wonderful humongous shiny bathroom
Hermione gave a little sob
A bath tub
An actual bath tub
Hermione walked over and turned the water on as hot as she could stand it
And watched the steam billow
She glanced at the bottles sitting on the blue marble counter
Bath oils?
BATH OILS!
Brand new
Not opened
Giving a quick thanks to whoever had left them, certainly not Malfoy, she added some of the sweetly smelling oils to the rising level of water in the bath tub.
Stripping off her ruined garments she kicked them into a corner
She wouldn't' be putting them on again
She stepped daintily into the swirling water gave a quick gasp when she sat down
And then sighed as she submerged herself
'Bliss' Hermione thought happily as layers of grime were stripped from her body
She slicked her hair back and studied the bottles resting on the far edge of the bath tub
She reached for the nearest bottle popped the cap and sniffed
Strawberries Hermione smiled in delight
She squeezed a goodly amount on to her palm and worked it through her wet hair
Humming to herself she didn't hear the door the room open and close, didn't hear the footsteps that paused in front of the bathroom door and then retreat, or the door close again.
Fifteen minuets later when Hermione emerged from the bathroom, rosily clean and still humming, she discovered a soft looking robe and a tray laden with food
Shrieking with joy it wasn't until she had dropped the blue towel to the ground and donned the blue robe that she realized someone must have come in while she was having a bath.
Hermione looked around the room, but, seeing no one she shrugged her shoulders and tucked into the heavenly meal.
Looked like she had a fairy god mother
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Draco smiled as he headed down the stairs
He had done good
He hadn't peeked while she was bathing
He'd do that next time
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Voldemort paced back and forth across the wine red carpet
He wanted the girl
But he had given her to Draco
Draco was more valuable in the long run
So he needed a way to get Draco to give the girl back to him
He needed away to get Draco to stop loving her
It would be difficult since the now shared a bond so strong that nothing on this earth could break it.
Voldemort smiled suddenly
Nothing on this earth could break it
But what about someone who was no longer of this earth
Hermione was about to get a visit from an old friend
