Chapter 20

House Elf Spies and Jealous Dragons

"HOLY SKINNER!" I shouted, falling backwards from my chair, only to have Watson grab hold of my arm and pull me back up. "Thanks, Watson." I said, dusting myself off and smiling at the bushy brunette.

"No problem, Sherlock." Mione beamed before turning at the sound of another crack to find the Malfoy family's old house elf, Dobby next to Kreacher.

"Dobby, Kreacher!" I gasped, clutching my racing heart. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Mistress, Kreacher has been ordered by Master to spy on the Malfoy boy. And Kreacher is here to give his report." Kreacher said, glaring at me and bowing.

"And Dobby was helping, Hannah Potter!" Dobby chirped happily before glaring at Kreacher "And Kreacher should have told Dobby he was going to see Harry Potter so we could give our reports together!"

My eyes widened and I turned to Harry, who started whistling innocently. "Harry!" I shouted.

"Yes?" Harry asked, smiling at me like a little boy who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Have you hired not only a house elf, but also a house elf that is rightfully mine to spy on my boyfriend?" I asked, narrowing my eyes suspiciously.

"Uh…" Harry said, looking to Ron.

"He did." Ron said to me.

"Dude!" I said, smacking Harry in the arm.

"I had to know what Malfoy was doing!" Harry protested defensively before turning to Kreacher "All right, Kreacher, what did you discover about Malfoy?"

Kreacher bowed low and addressed his toes "Master Malfoy moves with the grace that befits his pure blood." he said lovingly "His features recall the fine bones of my mistress and his manners are…"

"Impeccable." I finished for him, earning glares from Ron and Harry. "What?" I asked "It's true."

"Draco Malfoy is a bad boy!" Dobby snapped angrily "A bad boy who - who - who…"

Dobby squeaked and started running towards the fire, as if to jump into it just as Ivy ran in and grabbed him.

"Thank you, Ivy Duff." Dobby squeaked gratefully "Dobby still finds it hard to speak ill of his old masters."

I rolled my eyes, which went ignored, as Dobby added "Kreacher should also know that Draco Malfoy is not a good master to house elves!"

"Yes, we don't want to hear about you being in love with Malfoy." Harry added dryly, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, that's my job!" I added, raising my hand and earning the 'If looks could kill I'd be dead' look from Harry and Ron.

"We don't want to hear about you being in love with Malfoy, either!" Harry and Ivy snapped together.

Harry turned to Kreacher. "All right, let's fast forward to where Malfoy's been going." Harry said.

Kreacher bowed "Yes, sir. Master Malfoy eats in the Great Hall, sleeps in a dormitory in the dungeons, attends classes in a variety of subjects and times, and he spends excessive amounts of time osculating the mistress." he explained.

I beamed "No complaints on the last one!"

"Dobby, you tell us." Harry said, rolling his eyes before turning to me "Han, we don't need excessive details of you and Malfoy eating face, all right?" Harry asked.

I stuck my tongue out at my brother.

Dobby shook his head "There's nothing to say, Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy has been no where that we can see wrong. Though, he is making frequent visits to the seventh floor corridor."

I paled. The Room of Requirement! I caught Draco in there the night of Slughorn's Christmas party while getting away from the Harry Potter fans!

Please don't let him figure it out, don't let him figure it out. I thought desperately, jolting a little when Harry smacked his copy of the Half Blood Prince's book on his forehead.

"The Room of Requirement!" Harry shouted, making me pale further. "That's where Malfoy and his minions are going and doing whatever it is they're up to!"

I swallowed "Really?" I asked, betraying myself by raising my voice up an octave.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ivy stared at me. I swallowed again.

"Do you know something we don't?" Harry asked.

I shook my head, cursing myself when my nose twitched, the main sign people could tell I was lying.

"You do!" Ron said, pointing to my nose. "Your nose twitched!"

"No it didn't!" I protested, my nose twitching again.

"It just did!" Hermione and Ivy shouted together.

I sighed. "Ok, ok, my nose twitched." I said, rolling my eyes.

"So do you know something we don't?" Harry asked.

I sighed again "Well, I kind of sort of ran into Draco the night of Slughorn's Christmas party in the Room of Requirement." I said.

"What did you see?" Harry asked, a gleam in his eye.

I swallowed. On one hand, I didn't want to betray my only love. But, on the other hand, I didn't want to lie to my brother.

What was a girl to do?

I took a deep breath, praying that my nose wouldn't twitch for this whopper I was going to tell "All I saw was him sitting there in a chair. So I walked out before he saw me." I lied.

Harry Ron and Hermione huffed but Ivy shook her head at me.

You're lying. she thought to me (Legilimency and telepathy…a girl's best friend!)

I creased my eyebrows together. I had to. I can't betray him.

Ivy nodded. I understand. I wouldn't betray Blaise either.

I smiled. Thanks for understanding. I don't even think he knows that I know what he's up to. I thought.

Ivy patted my shoulder. You got to tell him you know. Maybe if he knows that you know, he can protect you more. she told me.

I shook my head. I can't. he'll know I've spied on him. I thought, standing up. "I have to head to the common room. Later." I said taking my cloak and walking off.

So, Draco was up to something in the Room of Requirement. What could that mean? what would I have seen when I walked in the hidden room? A meeting place? A storeroom? Workshop?

I shook my head. Han, you're letting Harry's stupid paranoia rub off on you! I thought to myself as I went into the common room to hear the expected arguing.

"No, Nott!" Draco snapped. "You tell her, I kill you, and you know I can!"

I swallowed and snuck behind a couch and poking my head out the side to watch Theodore Nott and Draco argue.

Nott smirked. "Well, Malfoy, you are in a very…compromising position right now." he drawled.

Draco snarled "You keep your overly large nose out of my business!" he snapped.

Nott's smirk turned into a sneer. "You keep the size of my nose out of this!" he snapped.

"Then you keep her out of this!" Draco snapped angrily.

I took a deep breath as the two boys continued to bicker. I stood up and cleared my throat, making the two almost-men freeze and turn to me.

"This a spirited debate, boys?" I asked sweetly.

"No," Nott said, smirking at Draco as he touched my cheek (completely unwanted, by the way) and Draco fumed "Just a friendly conversation between a man and a -" he added before Draco grabbed his forearms and slammed him to the wall.

"You leave her alone! You touch her again, you're dead!" Draco snarled, jealousy clear in his thoughts and eyes. "You are done taking girls from me. You may have won over Astoria, but I'm not letting you take Hannah too." he snarled making me gap.

Nott just glared at Draco for a minute and smirked at me before walking off.

Draco threw himself on the couch in a completely un-Malfoy-like way and huffed. I walked up behind him and put my hands on his shoulders.

"You're jealous." I said, making it sound like a statement more than a question.

Draco growled "Damn straight, I'm jealous. That bloody Nott has to get a fucking clue! You're not bloody interested! You're mine!"

I giggled.

"You think this is funny?" Draco demanded, glancing down at his forearm.

I sat down on the couch next to him and giggled some more. "No," I said honestly "I just think you're very adorable when you're oozing with jealousy."

"Well, I must look very endearing right now, because I'm desirous!" Draco snapped bitterly.

I sighed and took Draco in my arms, making him look at me. "Draco, look at me." I ordered, smiling when I was met with stormy grey eyes. "Forget Nott, forget Crabbe, forget Seamus and Ron. They're nothing to me. They're not you."

"They can give you more than I can." Draco muttered, making me slap him on the shoulder.

"Will you stop that?" I pleaded "Listen to me. I don't want them. I want you! Crabbe's an asshole, Nott's just…a douche bag. Sure, Seamus and I were okay friends last term, but he got too demanding. And I never liked Ron like that. I never liked Fred like that, either." I stopped, terrified. I hadn't told Draco about Fred and how he sort of was acting like he was in love with me.

"What was that about one of the Weasley clones?" Draco demanded.

I paled and bit my lip. How could I have been so stupid as to mention it! I thought angrily to myself as Hellion, my black cat jumped into my lap and rubbed against my side.

I sighed and took a deep breath. There was no sense lying now. I had to open my big mouth.

I told him about how weird Fred had acted when we (Draco and I, of course) broke up. When he had kissed me in the Room of Requirement and in the corridor before Christmas. Then I told him about what had happened in the store room of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Draco growled angrily. And I truthfully didn't blame him. I wouldn't have blamed him if he walked away and never talked to me again. I wouldn't have even batted an eye if he had hit me again.

But I wasn't prepared for what happened next.

He seized my waist, drawing me tighter into him and he kissed me. Hard!

Did the world just end or has Draco finally snapped from jealousy? I thought when Draco broke the kiss to press his forehead against mine. He looked angry, passionate and oh, so jealous.

"You're mine, Hannah, mine." Draco snarled, ripping my hair from its ponytail with almost bruising force. "You'll always be mine. No matter who comes into your future, you'll always, always, belong to me. No one touches what's mine." he rasped, placing open mouthed kisses along my throat and collarbone, biting hard against it to leave marks against my skin that I knew I'd have in the morning.

In fact, the hickeys started coming faster the more Draco bit. And soon enough, my neck was marked in two places. One just under my scar, and one along my throat.

"If I ever see that Weasley's face again," Draco growled, kissing me lightly "I'll kill him." he threatened, wrapping an arm around my waist tightly.

I narrowed my eyes "You're so possessive!" I snapped mocking anger before smirking "I love it."

Draco smirked and picked me up "And I love you." he said before taking me to his dorm.

As we snogged, all the worry I had over the Room of Requirement and crap was pushed from my mind, but the nagging phrase was still there, just not as loud and incessant.

"Harmonia Nectere Passus. Harmonia Nectere Passus."

A/N: I got the quote "You're mine, Hannah, mine, you'll always be mine, no matter who comes into your future you'll always, always belong to me." from my favourite not Harry Potter book called Flowers in the Attic. I don't own it anymore than I own Draco Malfoy. *sniffle, sniffle, tears*
