A/N yes I know that Circe is the name of a character in the odyssey , however, like I said in my first author's notes, Helen's character is based off of a creature in the book "the Raven Warrior" which is an Arthurian tale, this is why I mentioned fands and Circes appearing there.
Also, Draco and Hermione do NOT have a relationship, but they are both involved in relationships that are central to the story, so, just so we are clear, THIS IS NOT A ROMANTIC D/HR FIC! (however, there is this one incident, but we'll get to that eventually. It has several romantic plots.
Anyway, enjoy the rest of the story, and PLEASE DON"T FLAME! Especially if you have not even read all of the author' notes!
Chapter 2
On September, first, a slightly nervous Helen found herself at the train station alone with her trunk. Her father could not afford to be seen by the public, especially not anybody in the wizarding community. He was still wanted for the incidents in the department of mysteries last June. She was to meet the Malfoy Heir at the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. When she found her way there, she saw a tall blonde boy standing there. It was only 9:00, so no other students were there yet. They had wanted to meet before the train ride so that they could discuss her assignment. He was fairly handsome, his platinum blonde hair falling a little below his jaw line, his stormy grey eyes looking around, probably for her. She walked up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me, are you Dragon Malfoy?" She asked politely.
"Yes I am him, I'm assuming you're the eleven year old I've been forced to baby-sit," he said bitterly. He turned around to find Helen, golden blonde hair falling to just below her breasts, with her topaz eyes staring intently into his grey ones. She was wearing a sheer black top with a black tube top below it and the grey pleated skirt she would have to wear with her uniform. Showing off her pale, well sculpted legs.
'wow, maybe babysitting is not so bad after all!' he thought to himself. "you sure you're eleven. You look older." He said.
"Yes I'm sure I'm eleven." she said with a smirk. "I know I don't look it, but this is one of the reasons why we had to meet early, we need to talk. Should the train be here by now?"
"Yes it should, it arrives at 8:30 to give us plenty of time to get here."
"Well, we had best get ourselves a compartment." she said. "so how do we board the train?"
"just run at the barrier and you should be able to get through. Ladies first." he said as he gestured towards the barrier.
"See you on the other side!" she said as she took off at a sprint.
He followed soon after and then took her into the train to an empty compartment near the back.
"So, what did we need to talk about? All father said was that I was to keep an eye on you."
"I'm on a mission from the dark lord."
"Really? Since when does he entrust tasks to eleven year olds?"
"Since he met one who could either kill Harry potter, or at least lure potter to him"
"and how would you go about doing that?"
"Notice how I look about 16?"
"Yes, kinda hard to ignore"
"well, it's because I'm a fand."
"A fand?"
"Better known as a Circe."
Draco thought he had heard of these before, some dark creature, but what exactly, he could nto remember. "Um… refresh my memory"
"Alright… you see Dragon"
He cut her off "Please, call me Draco"
She smiled "Well, Draco, A fand seduces men, and in some cases women, puts them under her spell, and either enslaves them or eats them." she said bluntly.
"And you ARE one of these creatures?"
"Yes but you have nothing to fear from me, I'm under oath to the dark lord to not harm any Slytherins, only muggleborns, Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, and Ravenclaws if necessary."
" I see, Draco said still uneasy."
"Too bad, really, you're kinda cute" she said flirtatiously as she pinched his cheek playfully, 'damn, I think I may be falling for this one, nonono! Bad thought, oh well, yet another reason to distance myself from Slytherin.' she thought to herself.
"So you've been sent here to eat Harry potter?" Malfoy asked.
"that's putting it bluntly, but yes, I'm here to eat Harry potter. One slight problem though, the sorting hat will more than likely put me in Slytherin, not that I don't want that, but it makes seducing Harry slightly difficult. I'm going to be in none of his classes because I'm 5 years behind him, I'm not even gonna be in his house, so I need to weasel into his circle of friends in order to get close enough to seduce him. Times like this I wish I was pure circe, however, if that were the case, I'd have no control over who I seduce. That still happens occasionally anyway, but being a 64th circe, or sixth generation, I can blend in easily and avoid accidental seduction for the most part."
"so what does any of this have to do with me?" Malfoy asked.
"I need you to help me get into that circle, I know you are not in their good graces, but you can tell me who I need to use in order to get there. Not only that but I also need to constantly report my goings on to you, and you will deal with the writing letters to my father, who reports to the dark lord."
"And why pray tell, am I in charge of YOUR paperwork?"
"So that I may be able to pursue as many victims as I can without distraction. You will also handle most of my homework. I don't see why I can't do it, but he-who-must-not-be-named insists." 'HA like he would care, but even if he does not believe me, I'll charm him into it.' Helen thought to herself.
"I HIGHLY DOUBT that he would care about your grades."
"Well he does, he wants me to get good grades so I may better aide him in adult life. I know all of the material already, I've been being taught magic by my father since I was 6, but I don't have time for the paperwork, so that's where you come in, my cute little sexretary!"
"what did you call me?"
"A sexretary"
"and what is that?"
"well, a naughty secretary! giggle seeing as you're handling my paperwork, like a secretary and you're working for a sex and meat driven creature of darkness, I only thought it fit!" she said with a smirk.
"I'd prefer if you did not call me that"
"Well tough cookies, it's your nickname now! giggles"
"pardon me for saying so, but you don't seem like that dark of a "creature"
"well I am!"
"Oh yeah, prove it!"
"Well, I can switch from human to fand form, and in fand form, my skin is even paler, my eyes hypnotize all things attracted to a human female and my nails become like talon, not to mention the fact that I grow 2 extra layers of teeth. I can change these aspects of myself individually, without going into full form."
"Really? Show me."
"Okay, I want you to look into my mouth."
He does "Looks normal to me" He says
She closed her mouth and jerked her jaw in an odd unnatural movement, but so quick you would not notice unless expecting it then she opened her mouth again and he moved to look inside. Sure enough he had found that she had grown 2 layers of razor sharp fangs behind her other teeth, which from a front view look normal, but if you look closely enough you can see that they are sharpened so each edge is like a small razor edge. Her jaw resembled that of a shark, then with another unnatural movement, Draco witnessed the fangs retreat back into her flesh, leaving no mark.
"wow, okay, NOW I believe you"
"anything else you wanted to know about me? May as well get it out of the way now, seeing as we will be working closely together this year."
"Um… Have you ever killed?"
"Yes"
"Really? Wow, what was it like? How old were you? How did you do it?"
"I've done it more than once, first time I was 8, but looked thirteen. My first kill was for me a very fulfilling experience. I was finally able to let my urges go and seduce and kill him. I can't even remember his name, I just remember the taste of his flesh, the flood of passion as his blood flowed into my mouth, I just wish he had stopped screaming sooner, I was still young and sloppy, so I did nto know how to perfect it like an art. But My mother had left behind a book for me detailing how it should be done so that I could get some real satisfaction out of it."
"How do you do that?"
"Simple, I let them pass out before I tear out their heart."
"how do you make them pass out."
"Draco, put out your hand."
"alright but why?" He asked
"I wanna show you why none of my victims notice their blood slowly draining from their bodies."
"Okay"
She transformed her nails to talons, barely noticeable but for the sharp point. "Don't worry, I won't cut any arteries." she said as she gently raked her nail against his skin.
The hair on the back of his neck stood on end, her small touch felt like a caress, he looked down to see himself bleeding from his hand.
"Now imagine how one of those caresses, perhaps even one more passionate, on your neck, whilst being distracted by being snogged senseless."
He had felt nothing, no point ripping his skin, just a wave of pleasure through his hand, and she had barely touched him, yet she had cut him. If one could not feel the cut of an artery and was caught up in the heat of passion, they could bleed to death without even knowing they were cut!
"The victim becomes light headed and euphoric, but when they pass out, I quickly devour the heart the proceed to feast upon the rest of the flesh."
"I see" he said nervously, he had not expected this kind of detail from her.
"no need to worry about yourself though my little sexretary, I'm forbidden to touch you, so I'll simply torture you with the endless flirting!
Before they knew it, they heard the clock outside ring 11 times and felt the train begin to move. Amazed that nobody had tried to disturb them, they continued to talk about themselves, and they did eventually move onto lighter topics. But Helen was distracted as was Draco.
'I just wish I could get to know him, I think I actually like him, would there be any problem with procreation without the killing part? Maybe if I finish off Harry first.' Helen thought wishfully
"Damn she's hot! Do I actually like her, or is it her using her well… powers? Does it matter? She's just so smokin'!" Draco thought lustfully.
For the rest of the ride, you could cut the sexual tension with a knife.
