Unfortunate Fates
Rating: R – contains some smut and language.
Summary: After the Graduation Party, the seventh year students decide to continue their celebrations at a nightclub in
Hogsmead. Drinking, grinding, groping is abundant. But one Hermione Granger wants to stay a virgin. So, what happens?
Uninvited guests Fred and George Weasley decide to spike her drink. Getting Hermione drunk proves to be a lot more fun
than they first thought. She is quite the party animal. But as the night goes on, nobody can find her anymore. Nor can they find
Draco Malfoy. Now, two months later, Hermione sits, comforted by her close friends as her life, and the one inside of her
seems to be in shambles.

Chapter 3 - The Dragons Game
Draco sat at his desk and twirled his favourite pen in his fingers. He'd only joined his father's company a month and a half
ago, and he had already managed to increase business by more than 200 million galleons. A very remarkable feat. He was
very good at marketing, persuading…and seducing wives.
He hadn't actually slept with client's wives. It was just a subtle smile directed at the wife, emphasis on certain words. But
most of all, it was his eyes. They oozed sexuality.
All he had to do was invite prospective clients to dinner to a snazzy restaurant, and ask them to bring the whole family. He
would kiss the wife's hand for a moment longer than necessary and that would set everything into motion.
He never formed any sort of attachment; he just created an illusion of lust and wantonness. The rest was done by the wife. He
knew that no matter how much big business men tried to fight it, they were influenced by their family. Along with seducing the
wife, he payed extra attention to the kids if they were brought along. He would enquire about their schooling and other such
things. He was very good with children. Even the most stubborn brats could not resist his charm.
Draco worked in such a way that the husbands and fathers never got the impression that he was flirting with their wives. To
them, he just seemed like a very good businessman who was also very sociable.
And because these dinners were so enjoyable, happy clients spread the word that young Mr Malfoy was a real gem and that
it seemed like a tip-top idea to invest in his fathers company. This obviously created even more business.
His father had no idea of his tactics. As long as his dealings were above board (mostly) and the money rolled in, he was
happy.
Draco's success in bringing in more business, predictably, had resulted in rival companies losing their clients. These companies
had tried to copy Draco's way of befriending client's families, but they never worked in the same way.
Draco was the public face. Though Lucius was attractive, the public was far more attracted to young Draco. But he wasn't
just a pretty face. Oh no. He did his fare share of paperwork. He believed firmly that one had to make one's own fortune and
that by relying on others to do one's dirty work only resulted in falling very painfully on one's own ass.
Draco had a lot going for him. He had been nominated for the Most Successful Young Wizard Award. It was very highly
acclaimed, and no matter how much all those shit heads ranted and raved, he had earned it himself, without the help of his
father's money.
Soon to become my money, he thought with a smile.
Yes, he was bound to have a very fulfilling life. Money was abundant, and the women, well, the women worshiped him. Quite
understandably, of course. He was after all, the winner of this years "Sexiest Bachelor of the Year" award, promoted by the
ever popular Witch Weekly.
He thought back to his Hogwarts days, it had been less than two months since he left, but it felt like years. Probably because
he was so busy with work. Even back then, he had known that he was going to be even more successful than his father and all
his forefathers.
Then, for some reason, his mind wondered to Graduation Night.
What a night! He thought.
He had drunk a lot, more than he usually did, but he was not disoriented like the other bumbling fools around him. Draco had
an unusually high alcohol tolerance level. He had shagged four girls that night, not his best performance, but good enough. He
particularly remembered Hermione Granger.
Draco had been shocked when she had come up to him on the dance floor, grinding herself onto him. It had been surprising
enough that she had been dancing on the table tops. This was just unbelievable. But he was never one to pass up a shag.
She had turned out to be better than he expected. Not the best, but pretty good. And that, for an amateur like her, was praise
indeed as he had high standards.
He frowned as he remembered her professing her love to him. Many girls had done the same, both with and without the
influence of alcohol. It always irritated him. Granger's outburst had been just as annoying, if not more.
Stupid mudblood, he cursed.
He wondered if she remembered any of the things they had done. Probably not, as she had been really plastered. But if she
did, she was would be very ashamed of herself.
Serves her right for even existing, he thought bitterly.
Draco wasn't prejudiced about blood like his father anymore, but somehow Granger always brought out the worst in him. He
could still remember her annoying voice giving every answer to every question. He didn't believe in violence against women,
but he always felt like hurting her when her hand shot up to answer something.
He knew that she was now an auror with her two stupid boyfriends. Potty and Weasel. He hated them even more than he
hated her. Potter especially. Ever since he killed that arsehole, Voldemort, he had become so smug. Weasley was still a
snivelling fool who followed Potter around like a faithful mutt.
Nauseating really.
Draco's thoughts were interrupted by a tapping sound. Looking over at the window, he saw his ex-girlfriends owl hovering
outside with a bright pink piece of parchment with an even brighter blue ribbon tied to it's leg.
Groaning, he opened the window. When would she leave him alone? He knew from experience that girls like Drusilla could
not take rejection well. But what could he do? He was craving for something new but all the girls out there were the same.
They were just slightly different shapes and had different names.
He opened the letter and scanned it quickly.
My darling Draco,
My heart has been aching for you and your body. I simply cannot live without you.
I must confess that I followed you and that little minx around yesterday. I don't know what you see in her. She has
neither my brains nor my beauty. I am asking for another chance for the two of us to be together again. In the two
days we dated, I came to realise that I love you. It is in our fates. Look at our names. Draco and Drusilla. It is not
coincidence that our names are so similar. We are made for each other.
I eagerly await your reply.
Love you always and forever,
Drusilla
The letter was signed with a kiss and reeked of her expensive French perfume.
The letter had absolutely no effect on Draco. This was what most of his ex's did.
He simply turned the parchment around and wrote two words.
Fuck Off.
He smirked as her owl flew off. He knew what would come next.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, her owl came soaring back in with a fresh piece of parchment. The content was just as
he predicted.
Darling Draco,
It seems that something is clouding your vision and your heart. I cannot bear to be alive if we are not together. So
this is my final goodbye to you.
Your soul mate,
Drusilla
P.S. Maybe once I am gone you will realise that were meant to be. I will be waiting for you in heaven. Then we can
live the life we were meant to live.
Draco simply smirked.
Once again, he turned the parchment over and wrote only one word.
Bye.
He watched as the owl flew off into the distance. It was all becoming like a game to him. He never had the same girlfriend for
more than a couple of days. Drusilla has lasted two days – that was pretty average. It had started even in his Hogwarts days.
All the girls who dated him knew that they would get dumped in a matter of days, but still they gave their hearts and their
bodies to him.
Right now, he had Bonnie. They'd been together for three days and he was getting bored of her. Draco knew that in two days
he would be going through the same drama with Bonnie.
The girls never actually committed suicide. It was just a pitiful ploy to get him back. Quite hilarious really.
He glanced at his watch. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. He had a dinner date with Bonnie and he had planned to break
up with her then. The next girl had already been sighted. Darla, Drusilla's best friend's cousin. He didn't like her all that much,
but she was hot.
He sighed. He was sighing a lot nowadays.
What's the point of having a girlfriend if you don't like her?
He could answer that question easily.
Sex.
Such a simple word, with a world of meaning. It made and destroyed lives.
Draco craved for it.
It was what gave him the energy to perform such wonderful feats in the business world.
He was good, no doubt about it. That was the main reason girls never wanted to part with him. But few girls could match him
in bed. Those who could had serious personality flaws.
So all in all, there was no woman good enough for Draco Malfoy.
Sigh.
Draco walked through the doors of the restaurant and went directly to the table he had booked. He knew exactly where it
was. Right in the centre of the restaurant. He had used the same table for many break-ups. Seven to be exact.
He saw Bonnie sitting bored, idly tracing her finger around the rim of her wine glass. She had good reason to be bored. Draco
had kept her waiting for an hour. She sensed that it was because he was going to break up her.
That was why, when Draco slid into the seat opposite her without even a kiss, she herself leaned over for a passionate
smooch. She gave her soul to the kiss, hoping he would return the feeling. She was greatly disappointed when he pulled away
quickly.
She opened her mouth to say something she hoped would get him into the mood, but he raised a hand to silence her.
He studied her for a second to make sure he wanted to break her heart. She was very beautiful, but too ordinary. She had
typical blonde hair with typical blue eyes and typical C-cup breasts. Yes, he did want to get rid of her.
"I'm sorry to say, Bonnie, that I can no longer see you anymore."
She gaped at him not able to say anything. She had expected it, but she couldn't prepare herself for the feeling that coursed
through her, shattering her heart into a thousand pieces.
"So," Draco continued, "I bid you farewell."
That said, he stood up, walked out of the restaurant and apparated back to his manor.
Bonnie was shocked. She had never been scorned so badly in her life. Men had always worshipped her like a goddess.
Always in her life she had been the one to end a relationship. This was a new feeling. Rejection. She didn't like it one bit. It
hurt like hell.
With a scream of outrage, she hurled the plates and glasses on the table across the room where they shattered against the
wall. With another shriek, she stormed out of the restaurant.
The other diners were thoroughly shocked to see this young woman's behaviour.
The staff on the other hand, just watch calmly. They were used to it. They had come to learn that when Draco Malfoy asked
specifically for the centre table, screaming ladies would follow. It didn't harm business though, they didn't know why. And Mr
Malfoy always payed for the damaged property, so all was fine and dandy with them and the bosses.
Draco lay on his bed with a satisfied smile on his face. He never felt bad about dumping chicks. They never got over him, but
they always managed to get by.
As he waited for sleep to claim him, he thought about Darla. He didn't really like her. But she was hot. Tomorrow they would
have their first and possibly last date.
Hi guys! How's this chappie? It longer than the first two.
I know some of you may think it's a bit confusing, but I promise that I will make it clear in following chapters.
Thanks to the guys who reviewed the second chapter. I love you!
Emma Laraliean- I'm glad you loved it.
i own u eddie stack- did eddie know you liked him?
Venus725- you wanted Malfoy and now you got one big chapter full of Malfoy.
Hidden-Me-05- would your friends really act like that? Mine would just sort of faint or something. Anyway, I'm glad you thought it was funny.
Slytherin-Princess86- thanks for reviewing.
charmedflower - I'm glad you liked the abortion bit. I used it because I thought it would sort of shape her character a bit. Like, it would enforce the fact that she's a really rightous sort of person who cares about all living creatures.
Nekome-Zryiah- thanx for reviewing and i'm really glad you liked it.
I thought it was really funny that more people put me on their author alert list than reviewing. Wouldn't it be the other way
around? Anyway, I hope you guys like this chappie and make sure you review.
