The Werewolf's Daughter

34. Lending a helping hand

It had been exactly two weeks since Cedric Diggory had died, and Harry had announced the return of Voldemort. The school was shut down for Summer the day after the third task, the day after it transpired that the Mad-Eye Moody that had been teaching them all year was actually a death-eater called Barty Crouch Jr. Son of top ministry official Barty Crouch Sr – who was dead, by his son's hand.

Maya woke up on the morning of 8th July to gentle tapping on her door and a soft voice telling her it was time to get up as they had to leave soon. Their holiday. It felt crazy to be going on holiday when all of this had happened, but the family insisted.

'Sweetheart, we need to get away for a while' Remus had said to his daughter. 'I know it feels awful, but you and Draco need to see something other than what's going on here. It may not feel like it, but you deserve some fun.'

'What about Harry? Do you think he will be ok?' she asked, worried for her friend.

'I don't know. Sirius is staying here in case anything happens and the Order are keeping an eye on him.'

'What if he's not ok and something happens while we're gone? Dad, Harry has gone through so much already – what happened at the end of last year should have broken him and we did nothing to help other than to let him be whisked back off to his evil aunt and uncles again.'

'Maya, Harry HAS to go back there – I know you don't understand it and I know you don't like it, but he has to.'

Maya nodded, that's what all the adults had been saying.

Now, it was the morning of their holiday. Maya wanted to go but didn't at the same time. She was so confused – how could she possibly go away and have fun after everything that had happened?

She looked up when her bedroom door opened and Draco came in, looking quite tired.

'Morning love. You ok?'

Maya smiled at Draco and nodded. Then, she shook her head. 'Sorry Draco, I'm just a bit confused. I'm so excited for this holiday and for going to Disney World with you, but how can I be happy after all this?'

'Maya, you are allowed to feel happiness.'

'Cedric won't get to feel happy ever again. His parents probably won't get to feel happy ever again. I bet Harry feels like he'll never feel happy ever again.'

'Maya, you feel guilty. That's not a bad thing – it shows you have compassion for other people. If you don't want to go on this holiday, I will put our families off.' He said.

'No. That's just it, Draco – I can't wait to go. I start to feel happy for a few minutes and then I realise what is going on in this shitty world and I feel guilty for being happy.'

'You can't feel guilty love. There is nothing you can do here just now anyway. There was nothing anyone could have done for Cedric.' He said, kissing her. 'Please don't feel guilty. You've so been looking forward to this holiday and I don't want to push your feelings to one side or make you feel rubbish for having them, I just want you to be happy.'

Maya sighed and kissed him. 'How are you so clever and so bloody nice?' she asked.

'It's obvious isn't it?' he grinned.

Maya frowned, confused. 'It's you, you donut! You bring out the best in me.'

Maya snorted 'Noo!' she cried, laughing.

'It's so true.' He whispered, kissing her again. 'I love you Maya Jones – you definitely bring out the best in me and I am so grateful for you.'

Maya looked up at him through her lashes. 'I love you too. So, so much. I guess I could say the same about you – you definitely bring out the best in me!'

They shared one last lingering kiss before they started downstairs. Draco grabbed her case.

'Merlin Maya, what is in this?' he asked, struggling to carry it.

'Clothes and shoes Draco. Lots of them.'

'You're not leaving home love. Seriously, your case for Hogwarts is a lot lighter than this.'

Maya rolled her eyes and tried to take the case off of him – she dropped it straightaway and it fell down the stairs.

'Shit!'

Tonks came running out of the kitchen 'Everyone ok?'

'Yeah Tonks, I just dropped my case. It's a bit heavy.' Maya said, sheepishly.

Tonks just laughed. 'Of course it is. You wouldn't be a teenage girl going on holiday if it wasn't.'

Everyone was in the kitchen getting ready to floo over to their accommodation in Florida. One at a time, Remus gave them a slip of paper with the address on it and they went into the fire and made their way to their holiday home.

'Woah.' Draco said, as he stepped out of the fire. 'This place is huge!'

'Look outside!' Maya said, excitedly.

Draco turned and looked out the window she was stood in front of. In the back of the villa was a large swimming pool. The sun was shining, and it looked hot out there.

'Shall we go for a dip?' she asked.

Draco nodded. Maya made her way to one of the bedrooms – Draco's was right next door – and started to change in to one of her many bikinis. By the time she had changed, grabbed her sun tan lotion and a towel, everyone was in the villa.

'Going for a swim guys!' she shouted, as she ran out the door and jumped in the pool.

Draco did the same and they were soon splashing each other in the pool. Ted and Tonks soon joined in too, but her dad, Narcissa and Granny Andy just watched from afar.

After 90 minutes in the pool, they were starting to get cold, so they got out to go and have some lunch. Over lunch they discussed what they would do the next day. Maya was excited that they would be going to Magic Kingdom.

After lunch, they got back in the pool and even Cissy, her dad and Granny Andy donned their swimming costumes. When it started to get dark, they all got out of the pool to shower and have some tea. Luckily all of the rooms were ensuite so it meant they could shower in their rooms and not wait on someone coming out of the bathroom. Maya heard the others go in to their rooms and shut their doors, so she snuck in to Draco's room. She was only going in for a kiss and to thank him for making her so happy. Draco was already in the shower though – and he had left the bathroom door open.

He was so fricking hot – how had she landed him? Suddenly, her body was filled with something – something she was unsure of, but she needed to let him know she was there and she needed to be with him.

'Draco?' Maya said, startling him.

'Shit Maya.' Draco jumped 'What are you doing in here?' he asked, covering himself with his hands. Not that it's doing much good Maya thought to herself.

'I just wanted to come in and say thank you to you.'

'Thank you for what?'

'Just for being you and making me happy. I love you.' She took a step toward the shower, but Draco shook his head.

'Maya, don't. You can't come in.'

'What? Why?' she asked, her eyes starting to well up. Rejection. She hated it – it always made her weak.

'Because if you come in here, I will not be able to control myself.' He said, stiffly.

'What if I don't want you to?' Maya asked, taking another step towards him.

'Maya, please don't. You don't want to do this.' He said, sadly.

'You keep saying that, but you never actually ask what I want.' She huffed and walked out of his room, slamming her own door behind her.

'Maya' Draco knocked and walked in her room 'You have no fuckin idea what you do to me do you? I want you Maya. Seriously. Please believe that. However, as you are 14 and I am 15, we will not be doing that anytime soon.'

'Fine' Maya muttered, stalking in to her bathroom.

'Maya' Draco said, following her as she turned on the taps for her bath 'Why? Why is it every so often you feel the need to throw yourself at me?'

Maya stopped. 'Because I can't understand why you don't want me. I want you and I keep thinking that if I leave you a bit longer, you'll change your mind. You haven't though. What's wrong with me? Why don't you want me?'

Draco laughed. 'How can you think I don't want you? I love you crazy lady!'

'So then why won't you shag me?'

Draco was taken aback at her crude language – it was unlike her to talk like this.

'Maya, this isn't you.'

'Yes, it is. It's very much me. Why don't you want me?'

Maya was taken aback when she felt his arms wrap around her, as she checked the temperature of her bath.

'You're so silly. I do want you. I'm sure you can feel that right now. Maya, why this sudden urge to get me to have sex with you?' he asked, worried about her.

'Cedric Diggory died.'

Draco raised an eyebrow, 'And you want to have sex to commemorate him?'

Maya sighed. 'I want to have sex because I don't want to die a virgin.'

'What! Who said you're going to die?'

'Draco, Voldemort's back and Harry escaped him again, whether we like it or not we are going to end up in a war. What if I die and I never get to have sex? Or, what if something happens to you and I never get to have sex with you? I know, I know sex is a stupid thing to worry about – maybe worrying about actually dying is what I should be doing. What if there is no war and you just decide that you don't want to be with me anymore when we become of age?'

'Not going to happen.' Draco said, quickly.

'You don't know that, and I don't want to tempt fate. I want to have sex with you before you fall out of love with me.'

'Is this really what goes through your mind? Girls are complicated!' he muttered.

'It's not complicated Draco. I want to have sex, the act of love, with the guy I am madly in love with.'

Draco took her hand. 'I don't know where this all came from and if it is just grief over what's happened over the last two weeks, but I'm sorry Maya, it won't be happening.'

He kissed her hand before he walked out of her room. 'I love you' he said, as he walked out.

Maya sank down on the bathroom floor, in tears. God she was such an idiot.

She quickly bathed and washed the pool off of her, changed into her pjs and got in to bed. There was a video player in the room, so she decided to watch The Little Mermaid. Within 30 minutes, she was sleeping. Remus had gone to check on his daughter when she didn't come down for food and found her sleeping – he turned off the tv, kissed her forehead and left her to sleep.

Maya was woken up hours later by her bedroom door opening and closing, then somebody was on her bed. She sat up, scared.

'Who's there?'

'It's just me.' Came Draco's soft voice. 'Can I get in?'

Maya hesitated, but then sighed and moved over to make room for him. He got in and wrapped his arms around her. 'I'm sorry' they both said at the same time.

'What are you sorry for?' She asked, running her hand over his cheek.

'Well, I heard you crying after I left, and I thought maybe I could have been a bit nicer to you.'

Maya placed a finger to his lips. 'Draco, you have nothing to be sorry for. I don't know what's wrong with me though. Why am I acting like this?'

Draco stayed silent – he couldn't answer that as he didn't know.

'Thank you for coming back.' She whispered.

'Always' he whispered back, kissing her.

The next morning, Maya was curled up with her back to Draco, he was spooning her, and she could feel him pressed up against her back. She carefully rolled over, so she was facing him and stroked his face.

'Morning' he mumbled, as he woke up to her tickling him.

'Morning' she smiled at him, kissing his nose. She lay down across his chest with her hands down near his crotch.

'Maya…' Draco warned.

'What? I don't want sex.' She frowned.

'Ok, well I'm going to go for a shower.'

'Seriously? Draco, I could help you, you know? That's not sex.'

'Maya, I-'

She cut him off by sliding her hands inside his boxers. 'Maya-'

'Just stop Draco and let me help you.'

Draco thought about it. Her hands did feel good. Eventually he nodded, and the girl continued, kissing her boyfriend and lending him a helping hand. Draco was soon becoming a bit breathless as he came to his climax.

When she finished, she curled up next to him again, he kissed her forehead. 'Thanks' he muttered, slightly embarrassed.

'No problem' she said, smiling at him. 'Now, I'm going to go for a shower and get ready for magic kingdom' she smiled. 'See you downstairs for breakfast?'

Draco nodded and once she was in the bathroom he got out of her bed and went to his own room. He smiled when he thought of what she had just done – she was pretty amazing.

He showered and got ready for the day ahead – dressed in a pair of green khaki shorts and a white t-shirt. As he was finishing pulling on his trainers, Maya came in his room. She was wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. 'Hey, so last night?' she said, ending with a question.

Draco raised his eyebrows at her. 'Last night?'

'So, I know what was wrong with me. Draco, you know how you always say I make you hard if I even look at you sometimes?' Draco blushed, but nodded. 'Well, I feel the same – except I don't get hard. Anyway, in the run up to my period, maybe about 2-3 days before, those hormones that make me get all hot and bothered over you practically quadruple. I get sooo lusty. It's crazy. The sex dreams I have had during those days are seriously crazy. All about you of course.' She added.

'So, have those feelings gone now?'

'Well not completely gone, you still turn me on like crazy, but I don't feel the need to throw myself at you and cry at rejection. I got my period today.' She added, as an explanation.

Draco smiled 'So, you aren't going to demand sex or try and get in the shower with me now?'

'Not unless you really want me to.' She replied, chuckling.

Draco kissed her 'I will be here, and I will be the one that you give your virginity to Maya – just not now.'

Maya nodded in agreement and they made their way down for breakfast.

'Oh, we almost forgot our ears!' she cried, running back to get both pairs from her suitcase. Draco put his on as soon as she handed them to him.

'I am so ready for Disney!' he said, wrapping an arm around her as they walked down the stairs.
