How To Correctly Break Rules
By NefariousImp
AN: Hey, want to give a shout out to my two favorite reviewers: Lain In The Wired and Ashley-Paige (who gave me a magnificent shout out to me in her story (thanks Ash!). If you get a chance to read it it's really good. It's called 'Someone to Hold'.) Also, the song is 'Chemicals React' by Aly and Aj. It's a great song. I used to hate song fics but I've added a ton of great music to my collection thanks to them. So, download this song or something.
Chapter Six: Guarding the Mind
As soon as his body popped onto the front stoop of Malfoy Manor, Draco took off for his room with barely a glance backward. He had made it maybe ten steps when he heard his Father's voice stopping him in his tracks. He slowly turned aroud and stood straight.
"Yes, Father?"
"Leave the unpacking to the house elves, I belive I would like to speak with you in my office." Draco had to force himself not to freak out and he nodded with an expressionless face.
Lucius Malfoy was proficient in many spells and possessed many talents. The talent that had Draco nearly pissing his pants at the moment was Legilimency. He was very good at it, not 'Dark Lord good', but still, considered a Master Legilimens.
By the time they reached his office, however, Draco had completly calmed down, for Draco was a Master Occlumens.
He was taught Occlumency by Snape over the years, and like Snape, his Occlumency was better than Voldemort's Legilimency. He could hide certain emotions or memories without avoiding eye contact, which to a Legililmens is very suspicious.
And at this moment, Draco had a lot to hide.
"Sit down, Draco." Lucius said sitting behind his desk. Draco sat and looked up at his father. "It has come to my attention that you are working on a certain project at school, that has nothing to do with school itself." Lucius gave Draco a peircing stare, to which Draco stared back.
"Yes, Sir, Hermione Granger. I'm determined to bed her and then crush her. It will distract the Golden Trio long enough for them to get sloppy."
"Hmmm. And just how are you going about it?" Draco smiled wickedly.
"By wooing the girl, Sir. The mudblood is a very big challenge, for such a worthless piece of trash. I intend to fuck her then tell her exactly why I fucked her. At this moment, she thinks that I have fallen in love with her."
"I'm actually very proud of you, Draco. This is the most Slytherin thing you've done thus far. Not to mention, having Miss. Granger as your girlfriend fits in very nicely with the Dark Lord's plans." Draco's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Plans, Sir?"
"I don't know if I should tell you just yet, but, I suppose that if I do then you would have less of a chance to mess it up." Draco frowned slightly.
"Draco, the Dark Lord want's Dumbledore dead. And you are going to be the one to kill him." It took everything in his power to keep the shield on his mind up while still looking shocked. "I believe that this is how the plan should go:
"On the first day of Spring, immediatly following lunch, you will get Granger into bed, one way or another. Use force if necessary, it would make her defeat that much sweeter. Use a body-bind on her afterwards. Tell her where you are going. Go directly to Dumbledore's office, and kill him. Leave Hogwarts immediatly. And if you have a chance to kill Potter and Weasley, all the better, but don't risk yourself unless confronted. Meanwhile, the Death Eaters will be raiding the Granger's and the Weasley's, killing everyone inside." Draco's shield didn't falter but grew stronger as he realised that his Father really was a sick bastard.
"Sir, does this mean that I won't be graduating?" Draco asked.
"Draco, do this and the Dark Lord has guatanteed that you will be his second in command." Lucius stood up and leaned over the desk looking Draco in his eyes. "Even over me, Draco." Draco gasped and made himself think of the power and control he'd have if he was second in command so that Lucius would see it in his eyes.
A little while later, he was in his bedroom, laying on his bed thinking over the conversation. For a split second the thought of all that power had appealed to him, he was, after all, a Malfoy.
But he thought of what all he would have to do to earn that power.
He loved Hermione, more now than he did when he confessed it. And he'd grown very fond of the Old Coot.
He wasn't a murderer, and he certainly wasn't a rapist, even if there were no need for rape. Voldemort wanted to completly destroy the woman that he loved. Kill her parents, rape her, kill her friends. Since when had Hermione become his favorite target?
He missed Hermione, bloody hell, he missed Potter and the Weasley's too. He was not looking forward to the next two weeks. It had only been an hour since he had Apparated home and he was already homesick for Hogwarts and his girl.
He got off of his bed and sat down at his desk. He wrote a letter to Hermione.
Dear Hermione,
I miss you. I'm sitting in my room all alone and all I want is for you to be here with me. Even just to talk to. I even miss those idiots you call friends. It's going to be a long two weeks. When I see you next, if I ravish you on the train platform, just ignore me. I think I'll have lost what little sanity I had left since you saw me last. I miss you and I love you. Write back, it may be the only thing that keeps me going.
Love Always,
Draco Malfoy
He tied the letter to his Eagle Owl's leg and opened the window to watch it fly off.
Hermione heard a tapping on her window. She had just gotten home from the station. They couldn't Apparate directly to her house as it was Muggle-London.
She got off of her bed, where she had been flipping through the book that Draco had given her, and opened the window. She pulled the letter off of his leg and gave him an owl treat.
"Can you wait for a reply, please?" She asked.
She opened the sealed letter and read it with a tender smile on her face. She sat at her desk to reply.
Dear Draco,
What a Drama Queen! You'd think you were spending time in Azkaban or something. I, admit, I do miss you as well. You've grown on me, you 'Amazing Bouncing Ferret'. Oooh, I can't wait to tell Ron and Harry that you miss them. Do you want to send them a kiss as well, I should probably warn them, cause if you are going to be insane and ravishing people on the train platform, they should at least be forewarned. Ha ha.
Anyway, do try to get along without me. I do wish I was there also, if for nothing else but to see the famed 'Malfoy Manor' I bet it's really pretty.
Well, I'll write again tomorrow.
By the way, what's your Owl's name?
Yours truly,
Hermione Granger
She tied it onto Draco's Eagle Owl and it flew out of the window.
They'd agreed to keep their letters to the margins of the 'Plan' in case someone read them. She wished she could just say 'I Love You!' in her letters, cause she was missing him terribly as well, and it had only been about an hour and a half since she'd seen him last.
He was right, maybe they were spending time in Azkaban.
She flopped down on the bed and hit the play button on her CD player (which she'd missed terribly). Her parents gave her a new Cd for christmas. They gave it to her early cause they knew she wouldn't be able to take it with her. It was a CD by 'Aly and AJ'. She'd had it on non-stop since she walked in the door. Her favorite song was 'Chemicals React'.
The music came on. This song made her think of Draco.
You make me feel out of my element, like i'm walk'in on broken glass
Like my world's spinnin in slow motion and you're movin too fast
were you right, was I wrong, were you weak, was I strong, yeah
both of us broken caught in the moment
we lived and we loved and we hurt and we joked, yeah
but the planets all aligned when you looked into my eyes
and just like that the chemicals, the chemicals react
You make me feel out of my element, like i'm drifting out to the sea,
Like the tides pullin me in deeper makin it harder to breathe.
we cannot deny, how we feel inside, we cannot deny
were you right, was I wrong, were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken caught in the moment
we lived and we loved and we hurt and we joked, yeah
But the planets all aligned when you looked into my eyes and just like that the chemicals react, the chemicals react
Kaleidoscope of colors turning hopes on fire, sun is burning, shining down on both of us don't let us lose it.
(chorus again)
Hermione's mom knocked on the door and she turned off the song.
"Hermione, do you want to go out to eat for Lunch?" She jumped off the bed excitedly. Her parents didn't believe in eating out or sugar. Being the daughter of not one, but two dentists was a sad, sugarless existance.
Maybe these next two weeks wouldn't be as bad as Azkaban afterall.
The two weeks, passed slowly with letters owled every day. Hermione was packed and ready to go an hour earlier than she normally would. Which, for Hermione, was about four hours earlier than every other student.
She had talked to her parents about what was going on. She gave them each a portkey that would take them to Hermione's aunt's house as well. She gave them a differnt keyword, as being muggles, the word stargate might actually come up. Okay, so, maybe it wouldn't but she was being careful. She also said to take any owl from any of them seriously and to immediatly leave using the ring/portkeys.
When she arrived at platform 9 3/4, at Kings Cross, she hurried through the wall to the other side scanning the others wandering around.
She say the platinum hair and took off running to him, jumping into his surprised arms and kissing him soundly. She pulled back with a huge smile on her face to see his smirk.
"I thought I was supposed to be the insane one, and I was supposed to do the ravishing my dear."
"Sorry, I couldn't help it, I missed you."
"Ahem." they turned and Hermione almost had a heartattack as she saw Lucius standing behind Draco.
How could she have missed him?
She carefully kept her eyes down, in a submissive pose.
"So, this is the Miss. Granger our son has been raving about for the last two weeks. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Yes, Sir." She said meekly, trying to give him the impression that she was admitting her lower class, when she was really just avoiding his Legilimency. One look and she knew he'd see every bit of her.
"We had better go, Sir, the train is about to leave and as Heads we have to make sure all of the students are situated." Draco said.
"Very well, I'll see you in the Spring, Draco. Miss. Granger." Lucius turned on his heel and left. She threw her arms around his neck again.
"God, he's a scary man. Do you think he suspected anything?"
"No, you did a wonderful job." He whispered into her ear. "We seriously need to talk though, If you see Dumbledore tell him to come to our common room at midnight tonight. Tell Harry, Ron, and Ginny to be there also. Be very, very, discreet." He pulled back and smirked like he'd said something dirty, she saw his face and reacted accordingly; smacking his arm with mock outrage. He laughed and kissed her one last time before they climbed on board of the steaming red train.
That night, all of the requested people were present in the Heads Common Room. Draco turned and did a locking and silencing charm on the room, before turning around and facing the seated group.
Dumbledore was passing out Lemon Drops and Draco couldn't help but smile and take one from him. He was getting fond of the Old Geezer.
"Now, Mr. Malfoy, I believe you have something important to relate to us. We await with baited breath." Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. Draco nodded and paced the room for a moment to gather his thoughts.
"My father has set a series of tasks for me, much sooner than we thought. If I succeed in these tasks, The Dark Lord has promised that I will become his Second in Command, even over my father." He turned to face the assembled group. Their eyes were big knowing that such a important position meant some important tasks, that obviously wouldn't be good for them.
"And, what are these tasks, Mr. Malfoy?" Dumbledore asked popping another piece of candy in his mouth.
"Well, on the first day of Spring, immediatly after lunch, I'm to fulfil the plan to make Granger a conquest and then tell her why I was after her, even if I have to force myself on her."
"You mean rape? Your father wants you to rape Hermione?" Ron asked clenching his jaw.
"Yes, I told you from the beggining that Hermione was the main target. She is the Golden Trio's weaknesss. If she's completly destroyed then it makes the two of you distracted and wanting revenge, and you bumbling idiots fall into a trap. We've already been over this. They are going to do everything in their power to get to Hermione cause they know you two won't think rationally enough to ignore what they've done."
"You're right, is that all?" Harry asked.
"Did you miss the part where I said 'series of tasks'?" Draco snapped.
"Hey, calm down. Okay, tell us the rest." Harry said. Draco took a deep breath.
"After I rape Hermione, I'm supposed to put her in a body-bind and tell her my plans, about what I'm going to do next. So she's awake, but can't move to do anything to stop any of it. I'm supposed to go see Dumbledore and kill him." They all gasped again. "That's not the end of it."
"You mean there's more?" Ginny asked. Draco nodded.
"While I'm carrying out those tasks, which if any of you get in my way I have permission to kill, but don't go searching for you, there will be two raids. One on Hermione's parents and one on the Weasleys house and they aren't taking prisoners." The people in the room sat in shock.
"On the first day of Spring, you say?" Draco nodded. "Well, we have until March twentieth to get ourselves prepared. I'm not completly surprised. Although I was hoping to see the five of you graduate. It looks like I am going to let you graduate early. I will talk to Professor Snape. I want every one of you to learn Occlumency as best as you can. Draco, I believe you know it already?" Draco nodded.
"I'm a Master at it. I'm probably about as skilled as Snape so I can help to teach it."
"Very well. If any of you need to talk to me use your wand and write in the air. Write a number of the time you want to see me. I'll meet you here. If you need me for something else or sooner or something, well, I'll trust you can come up with something discreet that I'll still understand." He chuckled and stood up.
"Headmaster," Hermione said wrapping an arm around Draco and leaning her head on him. "What about our parents?"
"I shall send them a note to be prepared to leave in the night on the first day of Spring. If they leave sooner, then our enemies might realize that they've been tricked and we would all be in very grave danger." She nodded and hugged Draco tighter. "I will escort the three of you to your Common Room. Good Evening Mr. Malfoy, Miss. Granger.
Once Draco and Hermione was alone in the room they looked at each other and kissed.
"Would you stay with me tonight? I don't think I'll be able to sleep alone." Hermione asked.
"Only if we sleep in MY bed. I love seeing you spread out all over my colors." He said and pulled her up the stairs.
They stripped and slowly made love before falling asleep in each others arms.

AN: I'm sorry I'm not doing more intimate scenes, I don't think I'm very good at them without crossing a line somewhere. I'm not sure. Someone let me know if I'm being too timid. Or is the story enough as it is? The point is they are being intimate, even if I don't go into detail. Is that okay or do you guys want more. Let me know. Thanks for the reviews. I'm not getting very many, but that's okay, they've all been good, so at least I ain't getting flames.
