Yayay! I love you all for all the reviews you've submitted so far =D {responses after story} Please continue to do so. Lots o' reviews=lots o' happiness for meh hehe. You guys should be so proud of meh with getting this chapter out so quickly ::bows:: LoL. Umm..let's see... I don't really have much rambling to do this time.. Oh! Yes I do. lol.
The DADA scene I kinda through in there for future events to possibly come. Like i've said before, this story is still really sketchy.. The next chapter is barely started lol. Any guesses as to who the teacher is? Feel free to guess in your review.. and comment on what ya think will happen next chapter ::evil grin:: lol.
Another quick note.. the spell in the DADA class, I completely made that up.. Lol. I have no idea where it came from but I thought it sounded okay so I put it in there, hehe.
Special thanks to OtAku for the constructive criticism.. Will try to keep that in mind when I edit chapters from now on ::grin::
Well, without further ado, here's the next chappie!
Desiring Need...
I n f l u e nc e
Jealousy certainly was not a warm aquaintence that Draco Malfoy knew very well. However, seeing Usagi and Harry Potter laugh and chat together made this dangerous emotion boil deep. Usagi kept poking his glasses, making Harry laugh warmly along with the blonde. Malfoy could not stand this affectionate dribble any longer. He stormed away, anger burning deep in his eyes. He'd deal with this later.
---
"Soo, why can't ya jus' get a vision repair spell thingy?" Usagi asked as she tapped the right lens of his glasses. Harry smiled at her and shook his head. The blonde giggled and shrugged. "Well, actually.. They DO make you look kinda cute," she said with a sly grin.
Harry could scarcely contain the blush that crept to his cheeks. "Well...thank you," he said, somewhat akwardly. Usagi chuckled slightly, and said in a teasing voice, "Aww, am I making you nervous, Harry-kun?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "Hardly.. Say, what did you get on that last Potions assignment? I got an F-. didn't even know such a grade was possible," he grumbled.
Usagi pouted jokingly. "Aww..you got a higher grade than me! I got a 'G'... I think it stands for God help us all..." The two followed with laughter and continued conversing.
---
Everyone watched as the owls circled around, waiting to see if they perhaps got a piece of mail from a loved one or a newspaper they had sent for. Draco was mildly surprised as an owl stopped in front of him, dropping a letter and waiting at the table. Picking up the folded parchment, he groaned slightly. It was from his father.
Opening it quickly, he read its contents:
'I am curious to know how things are going there. Are things going with ease or are difficulties arising in your work? Respond with haste.
-Lucius Malfoy'
Brief and to the point. Of course, that was smart. The letter held a meaning towards school work if one were to read it that did not know of the situation. God forbid the owl was intercepted and it contained the information of the mission he had at hand. Especially if it showed of any ties whatsoever his father had with Voldemort... He shuddered at the thought.
He pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, much handier for quick notes than parchment and a quill and ink. He quickly jotted down a reply:
'Father,
Things are not going terribly good, but on the brighter aspect they are not going terribly. The work I have is becoming more pliant and easier to deal with. Should not be all too much harder, if all goes well.
-Draco Malfoy'
He quickly folded the note and tied it to the waiting owl's leg. The owl quickly flew off, joining the other owls who had already began to retreat. Draco glanced at the Gryffindor table, easily spotting the strangely hair-styled blonde. He really did prefer her with her hair down.. Another mental note of things he'd make sure she did once he had her.
He truly was grateful it was not someone like Pansy Parkinson that he needed for this mission.Usagi presented a challenge... Finally claiming her would make the victory all the more sweet by her innocence and resistance.
---
Usagi glared at the frog in front of her, who in turn filled the pouch under its mouth with air and released. "You're supposed to turn into a jar," she admonished, as though lecturing a child for not doing what it was supposed to. "I'd settle for you turning into a prince too though.." She giggled at her frog and tapped the top of its head lightly with her finger.
"Miss Tsukino.. serenading the frog will not make it transform any quicker. Please continue with doing the spell properly," McGonnogal warned sternly. Usagi blushed and looked around the class nervously. To her happiness, hardly anyone had gotten much further than she.
"Ok, let's see," she mumbled to herself. Pointing her wand at the frog, she chanted the spell. "Lettuce carrot! wait no..that's not it.." she flipped through the pages of the complicated spell and realized she had no clue what she as doing. Groaning to herself, she flipped back to the beginning and attempted starting again.
--
Usagi quickly hurried to her Defense Against the Dark Arts class. She didn't particularly liked this class, but it was the only one that she had with almost all of her friends. That did make it more appealing. Minako, Makoto, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all shared that class with her...
and Draco Malfoy as well.
Usagi ran into the classroom just in the nick of time. "I made it!---Ack!" The clumsy blonde tripped over her robes as she went running into the class room. The class filled with laughter as the embarassed blonde's cheeks filled with color. Standing up and brushing off her robes, she smiled sheepishly.
A woman standing in front of the class let a small smile flit across her lips before disappearing into an emotionless mask. "You may kindly take your seat if you are not injured, dear," she said softly, inclining her head toward the girl. Usagi nodded and quickly went to her seat, glaring playfully at Minako and Harry, as they were the ones who had laughed the loudest.
"Good day, class. Your old professor has suffered a terrible disease..(this was the fastest a DADA teacher had left them.. not even half way through the year!) So I will be taking his place. You may all refer to me as Professor Moon. I will now call for attendance to put a name to each of the faces I see here today." She picked up the sheet baring the names of all of the students and did a role call.
"Aino, Minako."
Minako raised her hand happily, grinning. The professor gazed at her for several long moments, a slight smile gracing her lips before continuing.
"Berkly, Jane... Farlay, Thomas..." She continued down the list, pausing as she did before when she reached Usagi's name.
"Tsukino, Usagi." Her voice faltered slightly, but she masked it well with a small cough. Usagi smiled sheepishly and raise her hand.
After the completion of role call, the professor instructed them all to take out their wands. "I will be teaching you a fairly simple, however extremely effective spell today. The encantation for the spell is 'Lafis Entotalus'. Many people refer to this spell in a lighter manner as 'Laughing Cow'. I will need someone to demonstrate how this spell is done." Professor Moonskimmed the classroom briefly, but it seemed as if her eyes already had a target picked out. "Makoto Kino, please."
Makoto looked up in startled surprise. "Y-yes," she said, standing quickly and going to the front of the room. The professor smiled softly at the girl before speaking to the class. This spell is often done for humor, however if someone were to attack you, striking them with this spell were cause them to double with uncontrollable laughter. While this may not seem like a very dangerous spell, too much of anything is indeed dangerous.. even happiness." Her eyes seemed to change for a moment, before shifting back into their original, emotionless state. She turned to Makoto, inclining her head slightly. "Are you ready?"
Makoto gulped and nodded. "Go Mako-chan!" Usagi yelled out loudly, as though rooting for a team mate. Makoto rolled her eyes at the blonde and smiled... and giggled.. a small chuckle..
Very soon, Makoto was laughing so loudly, some members of the class had to cover their ears. Makoto double over, clutching her stomach as tears rolled down her cheeks in thick streams. "Oh god... hahaha.....please..s-stop...hehehehe." The professor smiled and quickly flicked her wand, murmuring a small cancelling spell. Makoto straightened up, wiping away the tears that stained her face and smiled. "That is a handy spell... I could hardly breathe!" she exclaimed.
The professor nodded once. "Yes, it is effective.. also a very fun addition to parties to liven things up," she mused lightly in a jesting manner. The class giggled and the professor held up her hand. "You may want to save any traces of laughter until you've gone through the spell." The class quickly sobered up, eager to begin the lesson.
--
"Wow, that was actually fun today!" Harry said with a large grin. The entire class left a bit teary-eyed, but nonetheless happy.
Usagi nodded her head enthusiastically in agreement. She casually snuck a glance at Draco, a small smile on her face. Hearing him laugh was something rare.. It was not quite harsh, but it sounded foreign from his lips. 'He should be happy more often,' she concluded to herself.
-----
Several owls came the next morning at breakfast in the Great Hall, and Draco was hardly surprised to receieve yet another. Quickly opening the letter it presented, he was a bit curious that there was a small package along with it for him:
'I know things cannot be all too easy, and as your father I am here to help you. (Draco supressed a snort at this line.) Love is a hard emotion, consequently why few spells are successful or widely known involving it. Lust, however, is a much easier emotion, as it is derived from a very...tangible aspect. Just some fatherly advice.
If you meet a nice girl this year, it is always a nice thing to give her a gift. I have sent you some choice candies that will surely make a girl melt when you give them to her. I hope you make good use of this gift.
-Lucius Malfoy'
Draco smirked slightly. All of the letters between his father and himself had to be written in an understandable way, with no one being the wiser should one stumble across them. Draco knew of Usagi's..."love" for food. Surely, this gift was far more perfect than even his father could have anticipated.
Quickly opening the small, light box, he looked at the four candies inside. Beneath the candies lay a small, neatly written note. Picking it up, he read that as well:
'One for you, two for her,
half for each, and you'll concurr
Bridging gaps and forging trust,
you'll feel in full the rabbit's lust
Her eyes will dim,
her cheeks turn red
It's then, lay claims,
within your bed'
Even with Draco's cold, stony demeanor, he could not suppress the tingling blush that seeped into his pale cheeks. Was that really how to achieve love, through sex? Well.. he was not particularly complaining..
-----
GYAH!! This chapter is too short! And a slight cliffey! But.. I couldn't write anymore.. I have too many ideas swimming around for what to happen next and I need to sort it out and figure what would be the best approach. What do you think of mah wonderful poem "written by Lucius"? lol. I wrote it in like 2 minutes.. it was just so Draco would get an understanding of what to do with the candies...mwuaha!
Now, please bare in mind the Malfoys do not concentrate on "petty things" like love when there is power, so naturally they are gonna go about it in the wrong way.. But imagine if yer parents 'did' give advice like that.. "Give 'em candy and then sleep with 'em..best way into their heart." LoL
err...anyway..

More people to respond to, YAY!!:
To: devilsheart, Seren Lunar Echo, Silver Moon Goddess1, EoAngel, Ivy Taren, Starlite Saviour, amazing-jax, ABC Gurl... Thank you very much for the kind comments and reviews!!!
platinum star-- Thanks a ton! I'm trying really hard with that.. I don't want Draco to be OOC in any aspect.. but if he's going to be, I'd rather it be in the malicious context =.) I'll try to update soon!
Serenity Voldemort Riddle--Yay! Lol, I'm trying really hard with the whole updating process.. Want to keeep them chapters comin' steadily. WOOHOO!! I'm so happy you like my stories that much, you've made me extremely happy! ::huggle::
ScaredSh-tless--Firstly I luv your pen name..LOL. and secondly I'm happy you like the story! =.D and i know what you mean! Sometimes I'm like jeez he's too damn perfect...ugh.. Lol. Thanks for the review!
Kitoky--Omg Draco as a sex slave would be wonderful...LOL. Thank you very much! It's fun trying to write Usa and Draco together.. so much tension, Oo! lol. And yus, I suppose he is pretty good for a first timer.. our little boy's all grown up ::sniffle:: lolol. We might be seeing him do a lot of growing up next chapter... heh heh.. lol. And yah!! I was kinda pondering how to successfully "cover" for Snape giving a compliment..so I figured nyahh let him take some points away and feel powerful hehehe.
liza--Woohoo! I'm so glad you like it, especially the Lucius n Draco convo.. I jus' thought it would help establish the plotline and further show what kinda relationship they have. Dysfunctional families, gotta love it! ; ) As for Usagi being the moon princess... that, is a secret! ::grins evilly:: lol. And awwww thank you ::smiles happily and hugs:: I are all happyful now!!!
Ryui and Gokuru-chan--I intend to hopefully continue regularly, hehe.. And as far as who the pairing is... Well, you'll have to keep reading and find out! Nothing is set in stone =.D ::coughcoughprobablydracocough:: Gotta get rid of this cold! hehehe.
MFlower49--Aww, I'm very glad you like it!!
OtAkU--Thank you very much for the constructive criticism.. I wasn't really trying to portray Usagi as being 'seduced'. II was watching the anime the other day.. I'm trying hard to keep them in character.. Anyway, I was watching the anime and it was the episode where Usagi got her starseed taken away by choice because she didn't want anyone else to get hurt. Also, when Seiya kissed Usagi (I know it's still not the same situation as this) she didn't really get mad or anything... just a bit saddened by the situation. I dunno, I just don't think Usagi would want to hurt anyone's feelings, so sometimes she sacrifices stupidly in order to keep everyone happy. I know the examples i gave don't exactly coincide with what I have portrayed in the story, or exactly justify the actions that were taken, but I didn't know how else to get the point across ::blush:: I thank you extremely much for pointing out where the story seems sketchy.. really does help for future writing .
Dark Universe--Lol, glad you liked that.. he was sure happy to be in it and the way I portrayed him, hehe =.D I'm so happy you're liking it thus far!! ::grins happily::
---
Thank you all sooo much!!! ::tons o' hugs::
Also, for any who haven't checked it out as well, the story I'm writing simultaneously with this one is "Slave", a very probable Draco/Usa... and if it is, it's quite dark, a bit darker than this one.. Chapter 3 for that story should be out fairly soon.. Check it out if ya want! hehe
LASTLY (I know you're tired of my A.N's) I "might" be updating my old, slightly decaying fic "Reborn Again." I found a copy of the next chapter I had loosely started (two paragraphs ::groan::), but I might work on finishing it and post that as well. Updates, updates, updates!
---
Now, for some incentive to review and get the next chapter written and out.....
NEXT TIME ON.. Desiring Need!
Sugar is sweet, and so is this candy.. Usagi is all too gracious with accepting Draco's kind peace offering gift. Nevermind the fact that they are in his dormroom... Never mind the fact that Usagi can't help but notice the subtle way his eyes reflect the dim light... the fact that he's taking off his shirt... AHH!! Snap out of it before it's too late, Usagi-chan! Will Usagi fall into the deep, darkened hole called "lust" caused by the candies? Will we be seeing how good of a hentai writer I can be? Or will Usagi find the help she needs...? Find out in next time's episode.."Lust!"
{I previously had Chapter 3 called this, but I changed it to "Passion" because I think "Lust" is a MUCH more appropriate title for next time's episode ::grins::}
Well, please review! See ya soon!
The DADA scene I kinda through in there for future events to possibly come. Like i've said before, this story is still really sketchy.. The next chapter is barely started lol.
