Keep in mind throughout the story.. Malfoy is an evil bish! lol.
Quick A.N... I knowww you can't use spells outside of Hogwarts really.. but I think that's mainly if you live with Muggles, right? And I know there is the fact also that Draco-kun is underage for magic use or somethin', but in this story you can use magic outside of Hogwarts so long as you live in a magic community thingy, which he does.. err.. I know that doesn't really clarify things. Ok.. I'll simplify with one sentnce: Malfoy can use magic any time he damn well pleases, so nyahh! .P Lol .:sweatdrop:.

Chapter Three
A Hunger For Pain..
Sure enough, the next day at breakfast in the Great Hall, Usagi retold the whole story to the shocked Ron and Harry, though with a bit more composure. "So, I guess you could say I'm in a bit of a pinch," she mumbled out as she chewed a piece of sausage. After telling her three best friend about everything, she was feeling slightly better. Only four days away before her hell would begin.
"Usagi, do you know what you're doing!" Ron exclaimed. "Do you realize what you've just said! I mean, you might as well of sold your soul to the devil!" he shrieked.
Usagi winced. "I know, I know..but Crabbe-kun is still my friend regardless if he doesn't remember. Malfoy has no feelings and would severely hurt him then make him forget about it. I'm sorry, but if it was any of you guys, I would gladly do the same."
Harry sighed. "Of all people..Crabbe…" he shook his head. "Promise me you'll be alright," he said sternly, "and promise me that if he hurts you in anyway, ANY way at all, you send one of us an owl.
Usagi smiled lightly. "Of course I will, Harry-kun!" she said.
He frowned. "Swear it, Usagi," he said quietly. Usagi sighed. In all honestly, she truly didn't think Malfoy would allow her to do so. "I swear I will try my best, but that is all I can offer you," she said finally.
Harry nodded. "Alright, and Usagi..please, be careful." Usagi nodded and with that, they continued breakfast in silence.
x-x-x-
"Who knew hell was so close?" Usagi murmured.
"Oh Usagi, I can't believe we're letting you do this!" Hermione cried. Usagi smiled weakly. "Daijoubu, It'll be alright." Harry, Ron and Hermione escorted Usagi to the station. She set her two suitcases down and hugged each of them tightly.
"Ja ne," she whispered. "Good bye," the three of them said in unison. And then, they left.
When the teachers had questioned her, she simply told them her parents came back early, and she received no further questioning. She walked ot the front of Hogwart's Express to see Malfoy leaning against the train with his arms crossed, eyes closed. "A-annou..Malfoy.." she whispered shyly.
Malfoy opened an eye and glanced at her. "So, you finally show, took you long enough," he sneered. Usagi frowned. "The train doesn't leave for another ten minutes," she muttered. Malfoy scowled at her. "I told you to come early."
Usagi glared. "And I came ten minutes early," she said angrily, pondering why she was persuing such a pointless argument. He scowled at her for several moments before smirking smugly. "Whatever. Let's go."
He picked up his suitcases and quickly boarded the train, followed by a glaring Usagi. They sat opposite each other in the same compartment, scarcely glancing at each other, much less conversing. Malfoy decided to take it upon himself to break the silence. "So, dear Gryffindor, are you excited? It's not every day I let a lucky girl stay with me."
Usagi glared at him. "I don't think any girl would want to stay with you, honestly," she said quietly, looking out the window.
Malfoy smiled darkly. "How wrong you are... Some girls would love dearly to be in your position."
Usagi narrowed her eyes at him before smiling sardonically. "Oh, is that so? Then why not let one of them take my place?" she said in a sugary sweet voice.
He looked the blonde over. Though he would never openly admit it, this deal excited him more than he'd let on. Her long, golden blonde hair was styled in its ridiculous buns which surely only she could pull off. Her deep blue eyes truly gave validity to the statement "the eyes are the window to a person's soul." It was hard NOT to tell what she was feeling, merely by looking into her eyes. He saw fear.. he saw anger. And pain.
Something stirred in Malfoy. It almost sickened him, but he enjoyed this look in her eyes... Everyone has dark desires, a fascination with the morbid cruelty of the world that we cannot openly let on to. Perhaps with Usagi, he'd get to do a bit of exploration...
Usagi was musing in her own thoughts. 'I can make it through this,' she silently thought to herself, stern with a resolution of pride and confidence. 'There has to be a good person in there somewhere... maybe... maybe I can help him find it.'
After a few agonizing hours, the trip finally ended. The two of them got their luggage and proceeded to the home of Draco Malfoy.
x-x-x-
Setting down his luggage on the step, he reached into the pocket of his pants and pulled out a small key. Opening the door, he picked up his luggage and entered. Usagi nervously followed, gripping her her two suitcases tightly. She set her luggage down and closed the door. Turning around, she gasped audibly as she looked at the house—no, mansion!
"Wow," she murmured. Malfoy merely smirked. "Down the first hall, six rooms down on the left, is the room you will be staying in," he said to her. Usagi nodded and proceeded down the hall with her luggage.
She was quite puzzled. Malfoy—Slytherin Malfoy—her number one enemy, was actually being semi-nice to her. She turned the knob on the door and flicked on the light. Her heart sank a little as she saw the room.
There was no bed. There was no rug. There was no wallpaper. Only a small table with a lamp resting on it near the door. She brightened a bit as an idea formed. Grinning slightly, she opened one of her suitcases and pulled out her wand. Muttering a very advanced conjuring spell, a very small bed appeared. Usagi took a deep breath and continued. Pointing her wand at the tiny pink bed, she muttered an Enlarging spell and finally stopped when it was big enough.
"Oh, how cute," sneered Malfoy at the door. Usagi jumped, startled. "Did I say you could conjure a bed, filthy Gryffindor?" he growled.
Usagi frowned. "Look, Malfoy. I don't even want to be here in the first place," she seethed. "The least you could do is give me a bed to sleep on."
Malfoy narrowed his eyes. "It was your own fault. Slytherins and Gryffindors are not supposed to interact unless in competition of course. It's a silent rule that doesn't need to be spoken."
Usagi frowned. "Then what the hell am I doing here?" she yelled angrily. "Why can't we let bygones be bygones?"
Malfoy snickered softly. "Like I said, this is your own fault. You should have just let me punish Crabbe."
Usagi sighed. Talking to him was like talking to a brick wall. It was utterly pointless and ridiculous. "Whatever…well, can I keep it?" she asked tentively.
He scowled. "This will be my only, and I do mean ONLY, exception."
Usagi pouted. "But..what about some cute wallpaper or—"
"Nothing else." And with that, he left the room to unpack his own suitcases.
Usagi took a deep breath and knocked on Malfoy's room door. "What do you want?" he asked, annoyance lacing his voice from behind the door. Usagi bit her lower lip. "I was wondering…if we could eat now," she murmured.
He paused before answering. "Alright."
He came out of the room. "But first things first. Give me your wand." Usagi's eyes widened. "But…but…No!" she felt vulnerable without her want. Malfoy smirked. "My house, my rules, my way." Usagi lowered her head and scowled, reaching into her pocket and pulling out her wand. He yanked it away and smiled smugly.
Entering his room once more, he quickly hid her wand before exiting and proceeding to the kitchen. Usagi begrudgingly followed. "So, what's to eat?" she asked, taking a sweat at the table in the dining room.
Malfoy inwardly smirked to himself, before turning to her with a bland look on his face. He gave a fake nonchalant shrug. "I don't know, whatever you want."
Usagi smiled brightly. "Honto? Er..Realy? Well, in that case..I would like some chicken wings, barbecued of course, some mashed potatoes , rice, sushi, French fries, ohh a hamburger…" On and on she rattled off the foods she desired. A minute later, she paused. "A-annou..is that too much?" she asked sheepishly. Malfoy merely smiled and shook his head. "No, not at all. Anything else?" Usagi thought a moment. "Hmm…no, I think I got everything..oh wait, bread rolls would be nice as a little side thingy, if it's no trouble.. Kay, now I'm done."
Malfoy smiled pleasantly..or so it seemed. "Quite a big appetite you have Gryffindor." Usagi blushed. "Gomen, I hope it's not too much for you to cook.." Malfoy laughed richly. "Me? Oh no, that's where you are mistaken. YOU make the food, all of it."
Usagi's eyes widened. "But..but.." she stammered helplessly, despereately trying to find the right words.
"Tut, tut, tut. It's alright for someone else to always cook for you, but you can't do it yourself, eh Gryffindor?" he sneered.
Usagi frowned and shook her head. "Like YOU ever cook your own meals," she fired back angrily. "You don't understand, Malfoy, I really can't cook!"
Malfoy smiled maliciously. "Well, then, I suggest you learn. Oh yes, and you will cook everything you listed. I have an excellent memory, so please do not try to pull anything. The raw materials for all you have listed are in the kitchen now... You're lucky I summoned even that much. I should make you go out and buy all of the ingredients, but I've decided to be kind. If you were thinking of snacking on the side, no other foods are present, currently... Mother forgot to go shopping before the trip."
Usagi began to swear violently under her breath. Without her wand to assist her, this would certainly be hell.
Three hours and forty seven minutes later, Usagi emerged from the kitchen into the dining room. Her hair was loose from its buns, disheveled and slightly damp with sweat. Her rosy cheeks puffed in exhaustion as she looked to Malfoy. "Finished," she said breathlessly.
Malfoy was sitting at the dining room table, his arms crossed and eyes closed in a very nonchalant manner. "Took you long enough," he sneered. Usagi frowned. She had thought she had made pretty good time. Deciding to leave the matter alone, she went back into the kitchen and brought the food back plate by plate.
After Malfoy checked and made sure all of it was there, Usagi sat down and began heaping food into her plate. Malfoy picked up a chicken wing and took a bite. Almost immediately, he spit out the under cooked meat. "What the hell are you trying to do Gryffindor, poison me?"
Usagi narrowed her eyes. "As appealing as that sounds," she began through clenched teeth," I already told you I can't cook. I tried, I really tried hard, but I just can't." She lowered her head and looked at the hard, lumpy, supposed-to-be "mashed" potatoes. Malfoy scowled as he pulled out his wand and did a Transfer Spell, putting all of Usagi's hard work into the garbage.
Usagi felt as if she could cry right then, but she wouldn't give him the pleasure of her tears. Malfoy then used a conjuring spell and brought fourth a large white cheese pizza. Usagi's stomach began to growl. "Can…can I have a piece?" she mumbled quietely. If it weren't for the terrible pangs of hunger in her stomach, she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of having her ask something of him.
Malfoy glanced at her, bemused. "No Gryffindor, you can't."
Usagi glared. "You threw out all of my food! I was going to eat that!" she cried.
Malfoy rolled his eyes. "A starving rat would not so much as nibble at your food. But…I suppose you're partially right. Here." He broke off a very small piece of the crust and pushed it over to her.
Usagi frowned. "That's not fair! Please, I just want one small piece. Please?" she begged desperately, trying to ignore her growling stomach.
He frowned. "You're not satisfied with my donation?" he asked. Usagi shook her head feverently. Malfoy sighed dramatically. "Alright then, give me back that piece."
Usagi smiled as she handed him back the tiny bit of crust. "Thank you," she said gratefully.
Malfoy ate the crust and glanced at her. "For what?" he scoffed. "If you're not happy with your rations, then you eat nothing. Simple as that."
Usagi's heart sank. She looked into his cold, mirthless eyes. "Fine."
With that, she began to storm away. "Did I dismiss you? I don't recall doing so. Get back here." Usagi clenched her fists and ignored him, running down the hall and into "her" room. Malfoy growled angrily and followed. As he turned the handle, he became even more infuriated when he found that the door was locked.
Taking out his wand, he pointed it at the knob. He quickly murmured the spell for unlocking doors, a frown deeply rested upon his lips. The lock opened and he pushed the door in. Usagi was startled and she glared at him. "What? Why can't you just leave me alone?" she shrieked angrily.
Malfoy smirked maliciously. "Now filthy Gryffindor, where would be the fun in that?" He shook his head and put on a mock look of sadness. "Tsk, tsk, tsk Gryffindor…You disobeyed me. Therefore…you will have to be punished." His eyes glittered with malice as he advanced upon her.
