"I should have known you'd come here first". Narcissa stood with her wand raised. "Get off the girl before you lose more than just your dignity".

Lucius removed himself from on top of Aurelia and slumped next to her on her own bed, he threw his head back into the pillow with frustration. Aurelia heaved valuable air into her lungs wiped his slick drool from her neck.

"I should have done this a long time ago. This stops now" Narcissa spoke with stern eyes and her words pleasantly surprised Aurelia. Lucius dragged his drunken body from her room and Narcissa slammed Aurelia's door, she ignored the girl's questions about the whereabouts of Draco.

The summer break continued as normal but the Deatheater activity in and around the house doubled. Even the Ministry did their bidding, government raids and hunts were used to gain followers and sympathisers of Voldemort and get rid of those who didn't comply.

Aurelia finally discovered that Draco had survived the wrath of Voldemort, but she wasn't allowed contact with him or anybody else. Aurelia was kept locked in her room and only permitted to sit in silence on a pedestal at the high table during the many extravagant balls her mother held in the Malfoy home. Bellatrix charged a price to all who wanted to voyeur at her daughter through the keyhole of her bedroom door and she dressed the girl to represent the highest standard of dark wizard and forced her to endure the evil beasts of the wizarding world as they enjoyed themselves at the parties. Aurelia had started to mentally question if she was being advertised, perhaps she would become a wife to a wealthy man or maybe even a slave. Money and objects were after all, her mother's only true desire. Aurelia had also watched Lucius become a mere shadow of the powerful and egotistical man he once was, he had become dependent on alcohol and cowered in the backgrounds of his own home. Draco was just as shy, timid, and afraid as the day they last spoke and during the gatherings and dinners he could only make eye contact with Aurelia.

On a sunny August afternoon Aurelia was pushed into the over-sized bathroom on the second floor. There was another ball planned for midnight, the previous midnight meeting had developed into mass sexual carnage but Aurelia of course, was kept on her seat, high above them all. It was clear that Aurelia had become heavily desired for by the various guests and also it was now evident to her that that had been Bellatrix's plan all along, to create a lust for her own daughter and pawn her.

Aurelia's outstretched fingers shook gently as she turned the pierced metal key twice and a quarter to lock the bathroom door, she was nervous. She visually searched for a way to escape the bathroom but admitted defeat and walked to the double sinks at the back of the room. Her blue sapphire eyes stared intensely back at her in the mirror, she also gazed upon her deep scar as she always did when faced with a mirror, that scar was a reminder of the day her life changed to the chaos she became desensitised to in adolescence. She sighed, but then gasped, because in the mirror was another set of blue eyes.

She whipped her body around and her bath robe twirled and fell slightly open. Aurelia was naked under it, so Aurelia gathered the thick material to recompose herself. Wedged between the bath tub and the marble wall was Draco, he held his knees close to his body and his dishevelled hair trembled against his forehead.

"What are you doing in here?" Aurelia whispered.

Draco climbed to his feet and impatiently devoured Aurelia in his arms, their lips met in a frenzy of hunger, the kind that had been starved for too long. His cold hands separated the folds of her robe and pulled on the tie rope and he pressed his body to hers once more. He lifted her up and slid her buttocks onto the counter. They broke their kiss; both of their pupils were dilated wide with desire and they were heavily out of breath.

"I meant what I said" he breathed and bent her head to the side with his own and gently nibbled at her neck. Aurelia had her hands on his shoulders, and she watched the bathroom door as she puzzled over what he was referring to.

Draco softly placed his fingers into the folds of the warmth between her legs, Aurelia clamped her eyes closed. She was still afraid even though it had been over a year since she had another person touch her so intimately, and even though this time she wanted it too, she still panicked.

He raised his head to view her face, "I won't hurt you". His voice was sweet as was his tender kiss on her lips. Draco was well experienced, and he found Aurelia's sensitive bud of nerves with ease, Aurelia took a sharp intake of breath which followed with elevated breathing from them both.

Aurelia relaxed with his words, she was awake with new sensations caused by the delightful movements of the boy's fingers, she looked down to her crotch and asked him what he was doing.

Draco smiled and kissed her neck when she extended her head backwards, he glided his long fingers inside of her and she emitted a small but happy whimper from the hollows of her throat. Aurelia's eyes snapped open with the sound of his metal belt buckle and trouser zipper and she looked down between her legs once more. Draco had his manhood grasped in his hand, Aurelia reached at took a hold of him instead, she leant forward and kissed him, with this she was experienced. She had even made Lucius come through rubbing just the outside of his trousers. She hopped off the counter and got to her knees, but Draco protested and pulled her back up by her arms, he shook his head 'no' and lifted her up again. She giggled and wrapped her legs around his torso. He spun her around and they laughed together. Something neither of them had had the chance of in so long.

Draco bent to his knees and placed Aurelia on her back on the floor, she pulled his face to hers and embraced him with both hands and her mouth. Draco pushed himself slowly into her centre. The smile fell from her face and her eyebrows frowned over her beautiful but worried eyes.

"Hey" he kissed her quickly, "hey look at me" and he brushed her raven hair from her face.

Aurelia raised her eyes to join with his and he then pushed further, with a moan he closed his eyes, she was tighter than he had imagined and so smooth. Draco pulled out and thrust forward fast but only a few times, Aurelia couldn't stop her hips from bucking to meet his but only a small flurry of pleasure rippled from her groin before he loudly propelled his semen inside of her.

Draco removed himself and speedily fixed his trousers and shirt and helped Aurelia to her feet.

"Someone may have heard me ..." he sucked her lips with his own for one last time. "I love you" he exhaled and apparated from the room. Aurelia screeched from the sheer volume of the sound.

No one was around outside of the bathroom and after Aurelia had prepared herself for the ball she exited with a small smile on her face and a sparkle in her eyes.

The midnight meeting had begun, and like always; Aurelia was sat at the high table while the guests engaged in conversations, food, plenty of alcohol and each other. From her elevated height Aurelia had a good view of the occupants. They were ravenous with one another and it disgusted her.

"Attention!" Bellatrix extended a leg and stood on the table, her dirtied leather boots crushed the perfectly plated food. She hollered once more, and the guests turned to face the high table. Aurelia's heart raced in her chest, she searched the sea of faces for a familiar one.

"My daughter!" she motioned to Aurelia with an outstretched hand, her long fingers flicked for Aurelia to stand so the girl got to her feet, her hair cascaded down her back in luxurious dark curls, she wore a long lace dress in a deep red colour, the neckline plunged but her small breasts were still modestly covered. She thought her heart might thump from her body and she didn't know where to put her hands.

"Set your eyes upon her exquisite beauty" Bellatrix breathed through her teeth, the madness of her soul poured from her mouth.

"Her raven locks and soft skin of snow" Bellatrix twisted a piece of Aurelia's hair through her fingers, Aurelia's nostrils flared, and she gave her mother a sideways stare of hatred.

"She is pure..." and her mother proudly laughed to the crowd and slid her tongue across her top lip before speaking once more, "she is untouched".

At the back of the dining room Lucius Malfoy choked on the whisky he was hammering down his throat, his wife Narcissa, clutched a hold of her husband's arm when Bellatrix's piercing stare shot over to them both. Just to their left was Draco, fear oozed from his eyes, his jaw clenched to supress a grimace and his knees trembled. Draco needed to stay off the senior Deatheater's radar, he needed to stay obedient and he had an idea of the danger Aurelia was faced with if their earlier encounter was exposed. He peered over to his parents. His father was white in the face and his mother's mouth was slightly ajar, they on the other hand, knew exactly what perils lie ahead should Aurelia's mother find out she is not a virgin.

Bellatrix continued her tyrannous selling of her own daughter's fate. Aurelia just sat and boiled with rage, she looked to each of the bidders in the room, her top lip was curled and if her eyes were weapons, the dining room would have been a magnificent shade of crimson. Her mother's criminal cackle echoed in the girl's ears but as the night began to close the atmosphere changed dramatically and without warning. Bellatrix roared for all occupants to leave and all bids were off, spells and curses flew in all directions and people scarpered in the same manner. Aurelia was whisked away and locked in her room without knowing the outcome of the auction or why pandemonium broke out.

For the rest of summer Aurelia was trapped in her room but she had the luxury of food, books, and the knowledge that she would be returning to Hogwarts for her 5th year. When September came Aurelia travelled to school alone, Draco hadn't gone back to school. Her 16th birthday was 2 months away and her thoughts were laced with dread.
