How To Correctly Break Rules
By: NefariousImp
AN: I was informed that the last chapter was possibly on the line of M and MA, so if I offended anyone I deeply apologize. However, thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm currently working on another story at the same time as this one called 'Energy' it's a Spike/Dawn fic and I think I did better on it than I did on this one. It's much longer though. So, (Shameless Plug) read it if you have time. Keep reviewing, it's very much appreciated and it keeps me going.
Chapter Five: The Conquest
At Supper that night Draco made it a point to repeatedly catch Hermione's eye. And every time he made it her face would turn scarlet. Blaise Zambini who was sitting next to him leaned over.
"Are you sure you want her? I mean, even if you get her, which, I honestly don't think you will, as soon as you dump her Potter and Weasley are gonna kick your ass."
"I know," he smirked staring at her. "That's what makes it so much fun. Wish I'd have thought of this years ago. Could've broken the bitch sooner. Besides, if I get in good with them I can find out all kinds of information for the Dark Lord. It's a win-win situation. Besides, Mudblood aside, I bet she's a wildcat in the sack."
"What if your Father finds out about her?"
"He'll probably wonder why I didn't do it sooner. If I could break up the Trio or distract them then it'll be this that does it. She's their weakness, she may be a good witch, but she's still just a girl. And all girls are susceptible to a broken heart. And all girls want attention." He looked back over to her.
"Look at her. She never gets any male attention, well, except from Longbottom, and no girl wants his attention. Potter and Weasley don't see her as a female. All a girl needs is some attention from a decent looking guy and whether they like it or not a crush will form. So, if anybody makes fun of her, even you guys, I'm gonna stand up for her. That is the bottom line of my plan: Woo The Girl."
"You sure have thought alot about this."
"Of course I have, Malfoys don't leave loose ends. Every plan is thoroughly thought out and meticulously executed."
"What about Pansy? You know she doesn't like this plan."
"No, I really don't." Pansy said sitting down on his other side. "Drakey, why are you doing this to me? I thought we had something special?" She whined.
"Pansy, I broke up with you two years ago. I'm not going out with you and I'm not ever going to marry you."
"Is it because you like the Mudblood now? I'll kill that bitch!" Pansy said turning red.
"Pansy! You are going to leave her alone. If you fuck up my plan in any way, I'll hex that pug face of yours onto the ass of Hagrid's dog; Fang. And you know he's always sitting down."
She screeched. The Gryffindor table turned to see the girl stand up and start yelling.
"I can't believe you Draco! First, dump me, then you're chasing after that Mudblood, and now you're defending her? You just wait till I tell your father!" Draco stands up and slams his fist down on the table.
"First of all, my father doesn't even like you, and Secondly, he would rather me marry a mudblood than ever have an ugly, whiney, whore as a daughter-in-law. And she's not a mudblood! Hell, at this point, I think even You-Know-Who would take her over you." He said and left the Great Hall. The Great Hall erupted in laughter and Pansy screamed at them to 'shut-up' and ran out as well.
"That was bloody brilliant!" Ron said.
"I think that was the best bit of drama we've seen all year. Of course, Hermione's cat fights were pretty damn funny, too." Harry said.
"I think I'm done eating. I'm gonna go, um, to the library. Catch up on my reading." Hermione said standing up.
"Sure, Mione, you go ahead. All though I think you read plenty enough this morning after the game." Ron winked at her. "By the way, you looked really pretty."
"Thanks, Ron." She started to leave.
"Hermione," Ginny said, "um, I'd watch out for Pansy right now, she seemed really pissed."
"Yeah, she did, didn't she?" Hermione said with a smirk on her face and left.
She was walking down the hall when she was suddenly pulled into an alcove by her arm. She spun around expecting to find Draco but she instead found Pansy looking thouroughly pissed off.
"Pansy, what do you think you're doing?"
"I think I'm going to mess up Draco's plans."
"What plans?"
"The plan of his to fuck you and dump you."
"That's his master plan? God, that's so lame. Why are you ruining it?"
"Cause he pissed me off. See, there's several ways to fuck up his plan. The one that I find funny is you fuck him and then dump him, or there's the never give it up but pretend like you might someday, or my favorite, go out with him and cheat on him." Pansy said with a devious smile on.
"Pansy, I'm not a slut like you, If I do decide to do one of your ideas, it will be the never give it up one, that is if there even is a plan."
"You ungrateful bitch, here I am trying to..."
"Give it up, this advice isn't out of the goodness of your heart, you're just pissed off that I'm stealing your man without even trying. Maybe if you weren't such a slut and didn't have a different dick in you every time you turn around and face the other direction, you wouldn't have lost him. Finders keeper, bitch." She said and left the alcove.
"I hope you get knocked up, you whore!" Pansy screamed after her.
Hermione almost stopped in her tracks but somehow managed to keep moving.
They'd had sex and they hadn't used any protection!
What if she was pregnant right now?
She managed to find the portrait to her common room in her turmoil. Draco was waiting for her on the other side. She plopped down beside him.
"Hermione, what's wrong? You're not mad at me are you, cause I didn't mean to call you mudblood, it just kinda..."
"That's not it, I was proud of you for all that downstairs. It's just that we...I mean...I didn't..." He looked really confused and she couldn't blame him. "We didn't use protection! I could be pregnant right now!" He sighed in relief.
"I have a spell on me that renders my stuff as nothing but blanks, until I say the counter-spell. My father taught it to me when I turned fifteen. If I never say the counter-spell it's permanant and I'll never have kids. It's a really rare spell, I think It's classified as Dark Magic cause it's usually used to curse people so they can never concieve unless the person who casts it removes it." She looked immensely relieved and he continued.
"It's also a good spell to cast on yourself because if it's already on you then nobody else can cast it on you, which is very important to a family that survives off of heirs. If someone was to hex me, then the Malfoy's would die out.
"Thank god! When Pansy told me..."
"When did you talk to Pansy?" Draco interrupted.
"Right before I got here." She said and told him about what happened in the alcove.
"Stupid little bitch. She's either gonna be our biggest helper or our biggest hindrence in our plan. I say we stick with the whole 'you don't give it up' game." He grabbed her hips and pulled her against him. "Well, at least that's what we'll let everyone think." He said kissing her.
They were interrupted by a knock on the portrait. Draco answered it to reveal Harry, Ron, and Ginny.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hermione asked.
"It's Saturday night, we were gonna play cards tonight." Harry replied.
"I forgot, come on in." She said.
Every Saturday night, they had gotten together to get to know one another better. They did something different every weekend.
Hermione used her wand to make the coffee table bigger so they could sit at it like a regular table and conjured five chairs to go around it.
"What are we playing this week?"
"Texas Hold'em Poker." Hermione replied as it was her week to pick. The other's groaned as they weren't used to muggle games, but she had taught them how to play a few weeks prior. Her father had taught her to play when she was three. Surprisingly, Draco was a big challenge to her once he learned the basics of it.
They sat around the table with Harry on the end and Hermione and Draco on either side of him. Ron sat on the other side of Hermione, and Ginny sat on the other side of Draco. Leaving a magical dealer at the other end of the table.
They had been playing for about ten minutes and joking around when Harry started talking.
"You know you guys, I'm okay with you guys going out. I'd appreciate it if you could keep your PDA away from me, but I'm still okay with it." He said throwing in a few chips. "You know, I'm even okay with the knowlege that you guys are sleeping together." He threw his cards down on the table showing a pair of Kings. "BUT WOULD WHOEVER IS PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH ME PLEASE STOP?"
Draco got a sheepish grin on his face, "Sorry, mate. I was just.." Harry held up a hand. Hermione had the biggest 'AWWW' face on Draco had ever seen. So, he did what Draco Malfoy does best; he smirked.
"You guys are having sex?" Ron asked in a horrified tone. Ginny cleared her throat and glared at him. He seemed to get the message cause he cleared his own throat and said, "That's, wow, um,... congratulations, um...I'll just shut up, now." He said sullenly folding his cards.
"Thanks, Ron." Hermione said putting her arms around his neck. "Thanks for not freaking out and doing what I know you secretly want to do."
"And just what exactly is it that you think I secretly want to do, Miss. Smarty-pants."
"What, besides hexing his boy parts into oblivion and locking me in a closet, wearing a burlap sack that covers any skin not on my face, for the rest of my life?"
"Well, I guess there's nothing besides that." He grinned at them. "Seriously, Malfoy," He said leaning forward on his folded arms with a mischievous gleam in his eye. "Is she a wildcat like I always thought she would be?"
"Ronald! I can't believe you." Hermione said only to catch Draco's vigorous nodding and grinning from ear to ear. "Draco!" He shrugged.
"What? Not like I have anybody else to talk about it to."
"You don't talk about it at all!" Hermione huffed. "And especially not in front of me!"
"I agree about the in front of you part, but come on Hermione, you talk about it to me." Ginny said.
It was true just as soon as she had left the common room before supper Hermione had hunted down Ginny and had told her all about what happened.
"Fine, but please, not in front of me."
"Agreed, and I've got a Royal Flush!" Draco said laying down his cards. The others groaned as he pulled in the chips.
Several Weeks later
The day before everyone left for Christmas Break, Draco and Hermione spent the majority of the day in bed, they couldn't talk their parents into letting them stay and there was just no way for them to visit each other without some potentially fatal encounters from Lucius. So, they agreed to trade the presents they had gotten for each other on the train, since they had the Head's compartment to theirselves.
"I looked all over for the right thing, and I managed to find this. And trust me when I say that it's a one of a kind." Draco said handing her a bright green rectangular package with a silver bow on it. Hermione carefully opened it. It was a book (duh) with the words 'Keys To Unlocking and Creating Spells'.
She opened the book and gasped. It was a book telling her how to make her own spells! How to use the elements and such to produce the right words to get the desired result.
She could make her own spells. Maybe she could make counter-curses for The Killing Curse, or Imperius, or even the the Cruciatus!
She threw her arms around him.
"Thank you! Thank you! I love it."
"Good, I stole it from my father when I was little. He still doesn't know what happened to it. I put an invisible charm on it so noone but me can see it. Now, I give you the control of it."
"Thank you, here's yours." She handed him a long, slender, rectangular package in bright red paper and a gold bow on it. He opened it up to reveal an amulet. It was a silver dragon with emerald eyes, but it's scales had hints of red in them. It matched his ring.
"It's a Guardian Amulet. I made my own Guardian charm for it. See, I made one for all of us. It works on a key word, if you are ever in danger, all you have to say is 'Ifrit's Hellfire' and a guardian will come out and help you. We all have a different dragon, but the same activation word. It also keys into your blood. You need to put a drop of your blood on it to activate it so that the word will work."
He pricked his finger and put a drop of blood on the Dragon. The blood quickly soaked into the amulet and it glowed gold for a moment.
"Chinese fireball, isn't it?" She nodded. "Thank you. It's absolutly perfect. What kind of dragons did the others get?" He asked putting the amulet around his neck.
Hermione smiled and pulled her own amulet out from inside her shirt. It had iridescent, pearly scales and glittering rainbow opals for eyes.
"Mine is the 'Antipodean Opaleye'." The door to the Heads compartment opened and Harry, Ron, and Ginny came in. "Ah, we were just about to come see you. Show him your amulets." They each pulled out their amulets.
"See, Ron's is a Swedish short-snout." His amulet had silvery-blue scales and saphire eyes. "Harry's is the Hungarian Horntail, of course." His amulet had black scales with bronze horns all along it's back and a spiked tail. It had amythests for eyes.
"You know, Potter, I was actually very impressed when you beat the Horntail back in fourth year. I started out cheering for the Dragon, but when you beat it I had to force myself not to cheer for you."
"Thanks, Malfoy." Draco nodded and looked at Ginny's amulet. It was a smooth copper-colored dragon with short horns and rubies for eyes.
"Ginny's is a Peruvian Vipertooth, it's very venomous. Once our guardians are called forth they will only answer to it's owner. They will follow orders and attack or protect whoever we tell them to. Have each of you put the drop of blood on your amulets to activate them?" They all nodded.
"Good. Now, don't say it, but does everyone know the activation word?" They all nodded.
"Alright, remember not to say it unless you are calling them. Also, it's probably a good idea to name your guardians so they will listen to you when you call their name." They all sat down and looked around at each other as they waited for the train to stop.
Harry, Ginny, and Ron left them alone as they felt the train slowing.
They were barely out the door before Draco pulled Hermione into a devastating kiss. They didn't stop until the train did.
"I love you, Hermione."
"I love you, Draco. Have a good Christmas." She kissed him softly and they parted.
They saw each other one last time on the platform before their parents whisked them away.
