Heh, heh, ya'll REALLY don't want to kill me, right? Cuz, then I couldn't write anymore, so anyway, here's the next chapter of SDK. And yes, Blaise is still an asshole.

Sometimes I devoutly wish that the world would open up and swallow me whole. I see them together and I realize that he does not know. I am thankful of that much at least, until he, the one that follows, looks up and catches my eye. He smirks and I grow cold. I have been found out. I am terrified. I am stuck between something that will not, no something that cannot go away. Someone who knows about it will tell, this I know is truth; it is only a matter of time. I am terrified.

"Please, if I were not desperate, I would not do this."

"Must you ask me, of all people, must you ask me?"

"Yes, I am so sorry. I know of your hatred, but please Severus, will you do this?"

"Very well. What is it that you would ask of me?"

"Please, please protect my son."

Severus leaned back in his chair, watching for any mistakes made by his 7th year NEWT level students. He still could not fathom how Neville Longbottom of all people had made it here. Well, actually, if the Potter boy and Weasley had made it here, than he supposed that Longbottom could. So far so good, no mistakes had been made, knock on wood. Now he could return his concentration to the extremely irritable Head Girl. They had their first meeting with Draco and that insufferable Tonks woman tonight. HE hoped to God that he survived. Damn the chit. Damn her.

Giving in to his urges, he glanced over to the object of his interest. She was currently stirring the Calming Draught in a clockwise motion; good, she was paying attention. He had been ashamed of himself when Albus had scolded them in front of the entire school, including the staff. He hadn't been to the Great Hall for dinner in a week. Not to mention the students that were giggling when they thought he was out of earshot and whispering on whether or not Miss Granger and he would have another argument. Damn her.

He looked toward the door in anticipation. Soon, soon she would be here. He relished in the feeling that he was the one that put that hunted look in her eyes. He bathed in that feeling of control.

The door creaked open, and she stepped into the cold, dank, dark room.

"You're late," the whisper had her shivering in fear.

"Pl-please, for-forgive me."

"I will not. Strip, now."

"I beg your pardon. If you could repeat th-"

"Do it."

"Bu-but, how, I, do, what?"

"Stop stuttering and do it. I command you Luna."

Luna drew herself up, pride giving her the strength to do so, "Apparently you are unaware of all the Pack rules. A female alpha does not obey if it is in a sexual way. You should know that."

Blaise's eyes grew cold and he gave her a smirk, "It's mating season Luna, alpha male's are in control of everything during this time."

Luna paled and backed away. She would not allow him to do this to her. She swallowed the pride she had used just seconds ago and gave a mental call to Harry, the closest member of their group that was near her.

Blaise grew impatient, "Now, Luna."

Luna gave a snarl of fury, "I will not! I, at least, have this choice. I am not controlled by animal instincts!"

Blaise snarled right back, "I don't give a fat damn what you think you are. I will have you. By force if necessary. Do you understand me? You can run to your little friends all you want, but here, you are mine and no other's!" He lunged at her just as Harry came flying through the doorway.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" Harry yelled with enough force to send Blaise flying into the wall. Harry grabbed Luna and they escaped.

All right, so it was short, but hey, a lot of stuff happened, if you know where to look.

Ciao!
