Dumbledore had just finished listening to Ginny's tale. He pressed her for every detail.
'What did he look like?'
'Well, he looked the same he did when he came to life in the Chamber,' Ginny said. 'Still sixteen, still...' her voice trailed off.
'Was he with anyone?'
'Did people recognize him?'
Dumbledore went on and on, and when he was finally done, and they had talked this over and called Harry up with them, it was in the afternoon, and Hermione's stomach was rumbling, but she ignored it for now, for a small fear lurked on the back of her mind, and she was almost sure it was not a false alarm.
If Tom Riddle was indeed alive and kicking (he probably was, literally), he'd be rallying his Death Eaters together. And who did she know who was a Death Eater?
The Malfoys'. Draco and Narcissa.
There was no doubt about it in her mind. They wanted her to meet Tom Riddle.
Why? She had no idea. Maybe she was the perfect pathway to Ginny. Maybe she was the perfect person to torture. Whatever the reason, Hermione was absolutely determined not to move from Hogwarts. She had a few days to work a plan.
That night she tried to talk with Draco when he entered the common room after dinner. She missed dinner – she, Ron, Harry and Ginny had had no appetite (the fear they each felt stole their appetite). They'd sat with her in her common room for a while, then went off to bed. Hermione wished for sleep too, even though it was early – but first she had to talk with Draco.
'Where were you at dinner?' he asked her sharply.
Cursing, she remembered the Truth Potion. It might just ruin everything. Before she could stop herself, she'd blurted out, 'In this common room and Dumbledore's office.'
He raised an eyebrow. 'Why were you in Dumbledore's office?'
Hermione closed her eyes in frustration, and tried to twist the truth. 'So we could talk about certain pressing matters.'
'What pressing – '
'Shut up!' she cut in. 'Stop asking me these questions, Draco. It's not fair. Now, who do you and Narcissa want me to meet?'
Draco snarled at her, but had to answer. Like her, he tried twisting the truth. 'A friend of ours.'
'What his na – '
'Shut up! What pressing ma - ?'
'What's his na – '
They both stopped at the same time. A sly look started in Draco's eyes, and before she could utter another word, he'd whipped out his wand and muttered a spell. In a flash, she was thrown upon the ground, her hands and feet bound, and unable to speak.
Bastard, she thought.
A slow, sexy smile came onto his face, and he kneeled down beside her, softly kissing her lips, and when he drew back, her lips were tingling pleasureably, but her blood was boiling.
'Now,' he said, 'what pressing matters did you and Dumbledore discuss?'
He guesses! Her mind screamed. He so guesses, don't tell him, twist the truth, anything –
'You can speak,' he added.
She found she could, but only when he allowed her too. Damn spell. She couldn't ask him questions now... 'We were discussing, uh what we should do about Ginny – '
That was the truth. They were discussing that... among other things.
'Did Ginny find out something of importance?'
Hermione squirmed. She hated straight questions like these.
'Yes,' she muttered.
'What was this bit of importance?' the smile was gone. His face was stern. He was alert and very, very suspicious now.
She squirmed again. 'That – that she – she had fallen in love with someone.' She realized her slip at the last moment. He was going to ask her who, and she'd be forced to say.
'Who?'
Goddammit, she thought. He's too damned smart; I didn't even know what spell he used on me. Figures, its probably a dark spell –
'Answer.'
She tried to lie, to ask him not to make her answer, but truth spell would only allow her to speak the truth, and the other spell only allowed her to answer the question.
'Tom,' she said as quietly as possible. He heard anyway.
His face went a shade paler than usual. 'Not – Tom Riddle?'
'Unfortunately so.'
It was over now, she thought dimly. Over. He knows.
Draco waved his wand, and released her from the spell. She stood up, massaging her wrists.
'So she's fallen for Tom now, has she?' Draco said, almost to himself. 'Stupid girl.'
'Hey, don't speak of her that way,' Hermione said sharply. He blandly ignored her.
'Who is it you want me to – '
He whipped around, and in seconds, his firm hand covered her mouth. She was startled.
'Don't,' he whispered, looking at her in a way she could not identify. 'Don't ask me that question.'
'Hey, look who's talking!' she protested, moving her lips against his hand. But all that could be heard was incoherent babble. There was a pause. He took his hand away. For a long time they stood there, glaring at each other, each daring the other to make a move. Finally, Hermione was so sleepy she just gave up.
'Whatever, Dray,' she said, watching triumphant the annoyed expression that came over his face when she used his "nickname". A jaw-cracking yawn escaped her lips. 'And for the record, I'm not going out of Hogwarts.' Even more so because now there was even more reason to stay.
Draco watched her trod up to their room, half a mind to come in suddenly, hoping to see her getting changed again but decided against that. He instead sat on the sofa.
She knew. Her and her smart mind – he didn't how she had guessed, but somehow she had. She knew that Narcissa wanted her to meet Tom Riddle. But it wasn't for the reason she was thinking.
He dropped the topic of going, for he knew she wouldn't go willingly. Especially now that important things were happening at Hogwarts. Things including Ginerva Weasley. So Draco, being the sly devil he is, had concocted a plan. It would work of course, and Hermione would be no trouble at all. In fact, she wouldn't even know what was happening...
His thoughts drifted to Hermione. Her sweet, soft lips, her bushy, though silky hair he was becoming rather fond of, her surprisingly voluptuous breasts, her small, tight ass –
He hastily cut off these thoughts, feeling himself getting hard.
Groaning, he started off towards the bedroom.
Unfortunately, Hermione had already gotten changed, and was lying in bed, reading her thick book. He wouldn't have minded getting another glimpse of her figure again.
'Hermione,' he said softly.
'Hmm.'
'Did you kill Salmond?'
She peeled her eyes away from her book and looked him straight in the eye. 'No.'
She went back to reading.
He studied her. Her pupils were moving back and forth quickly, and her hair didn't seem as frizzy as usual. In fact, it looked quite enchanting. It framed her face perfectly, spilling over her shoulders in delightful chocolate waves, each precious lock curling perfectly. He envisioned running his hand through her hair as she screamed his name in pleasure -
He forced himself to stop thinking about that again. His cock was throbbing almost painfully and he was sure that if Hermione was to glance at him, his erection would be most obvious. The last thing he wanted her to know was that he was actually being turned on by her simply reading a book. So he quickly slipped into a pair of boxers and lay down next to her.
'Hermione...' he said softly, twirling a single curl between his fingers.
'One sec,' she said, not taking her eyes off the book.
Draco was annoyed. So the book was more important then him now? It must be pretty fucking interesting then.
Just as he was about to snatch that damned book away from her, she put it down, and looked up at him. Her cinnamon orbs were shining and sparkling and he could not take his eyes off them. He felt that sensation again of wanting to pop them out and stick them in a jar so he could stare into them whenever he wanted. Maybe he could wrap them in glad-rap and stick them in his pocket so when he was bored in Binn's class, he could just stare into them.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Draco was already leaning forward and capturing her mouth in his. Taking the opportunity, he slipped his tongue into hers and was rewarded with the satisfactory sound of a moan. He shifted so he was lying on top of her, and felt his erection rubbing against her left thigh.
'Hey,' Hermione protested feedly. He kissed her neck, rubbing his arousal more deep into her leg. She gasped, throwing her head back, and bucking her hips forward.
He felt his erection swelling, and he wanted more than anything to make love to her. He felt she wouldn't say no to him this time.
His hands found their way to her clasp of her bra, and in one swift movement, he unclasped it and threw it to the ground.
Hermione couldn't help the moans that escaped her mouth while his deft hands kneaded her breasts, his thumbs rolling pleasurably over her nipples. She wasn't sure if this was what she wanted. She knew it was wrong, that Draco was her worst enemy, but she abandoned all logic and reason and let her hormones guide her. She was scared though – she was a virgin, and not sure what it was going to be like.
She let out a short gasp and she felt Draco's tongue licking her breast, sucking and biting softly. She unintentionally bucked her hips forward again, feeling his erection push into her leg.
'Draco...' she breathed and he looked up at her for a second. She reached for the waistline of his boxers and slowly, but surely, tugged the down until they were off.
His hands felt for her underwear, and he didn't bother taking them off her, he simply yanked at the sides and they split. He threw them on the floor, and Hermione saw they were soaking with her cum.
'Are you wet for me?' he breathed. Not waiting for an answer, he slipped two fingers inside her entrance, and Hermione gasped.
'Draco!' she gasped, her fingernails gripped his shoulders. There was a moment of pain, but his fingers inside her felt so good, so right. He moved his fingers faster, pumping them in and out of her, and she screamed in his name, throwing her head back as she orgasmed. Removing his fingers from inside of her, he licked them clean, leaning forward to kiss her again. He didn't hesitate. Without warning, he came into her, causing her to scream in pleasure.
Hermione felt pain at first – then it ceased, and she felt glad that Draco had stretched her first. She screamed his name again and again, as he pumped in and out of her, until they both climaxed – and he dropped his seed into her.
He lay down beside her, pulling her body next to his.
'Draco,' Hermione asked. 'Do – do you love me?'
There was a long pause, in which Hermione got very nervous. She was almost sure she loved him – what if he didn't?
'I think I do,' he whispered into her ear, and she was at peace.
