Chapter 8: More Disputes
Disclaimer: Not enough time to write, Harry Potter is still not mine and it never will be, Tom Felton is still uncontrollably hot and unreachable? What kind of sick world is this? Leaving me none of these life's desires, then again I just may be a person with selfish and flagrant desire...So again people, even if this may seem really pointless, I will say even if it's hard to that HARRY POTTER IS NOT MINE!!! God! You don't even have to read this shit in order to know that, pretty obvious I must say, J.K is way better than an amateur writer like me sob
A/N: Another Note? Yep, anyway, basically this starts off from where I actually left it off, yup! You got that right, the sixth chapter since that wasn't the part with the flashback, about the ending scene in Chapter 7, the one with Hermione in the shower that was just a sort of overview of what she's going to experience and do in this chapter. Sorry, I just felt like I couldn't leave Draco out there in the rain and pampered Hermione in the shower, it won't work for me. Shit like that must be fixed so that's why I made it like this. Also, I don't think this chapter will contain any of Draco's POV, I don't know, I'll have to think about that. Any comments feel free to berate me but not too harsh that I lose the inspiration. Toodles y'all. So this is it...
Next Chapter: Confessions
Basically Draco will be revealing his feelings to---, I won't tell you who! You have to read in order to find out and we'll find out why Annie is such an important character and why she was indebted to the Malfoys' and why Draco can't hurt her in any way. We'll also find out what Draco has for Hermione. Basically small squabbles will heat up from both Draco and Hermione and by and by Hermione will feel guiltier why she's responding to Draco's caresses. She'll be very confused, she'll be confusing Draco for Harry because she misses the tenderness she experienced with Harry and will be meeting a character I've been neglecting so much...you have to guess! ; P
Here's a line that 'can' happen in the next chapter or in the next one after that
"Kiss me, Granger" he drawled menacingly
I backed away from him and said, "Why should I?"
"I'll kill Potter"
"You can't, you already said that before but you couldn't bring yourself to do it!"
"Because I was waiting for this to happen, I want you to kiss me and if you won't I'll have Potter's life, I only reserved his life for this sake his life means nothing to me but your kiss means everything to me"
I need more ideas for this chappie so please, please feel free to gimme your ideas!!! I'll gladly acknowledge it!
I think I'll be updating around December since I've got too little time for this story, there are some points in my life wherein I wish I could just stop time and write, oh if only that were that easy! ;p I'm sorry if I took so long to update it's just that I have this weird thing going around me that bugs me not to update unless the last digit of my reviews is 5 up, I don't know, I'm just plain weird that's all.....

THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH!!! ;p
Okay.....so that's about it!!! Thank you guys!!
Ah, before I proceed, I'll have to apologize first for the length, this chapter is actually VERY LONG! Now that's something you won't hear much often since I usually squabble about it being too short, yes it is actually too long. Imagine this Hermione's POV consists of 7,830 words and that's only hers, not counting Draco's. So sorry guys!
Hermione's POV
After I got up and sliced the idiot, not o mention slap him, I ran as fast as my two long legs could carry me to the opposite direction, having long legs was actually an asset. The rain poured harder and the more was to be seen from my obscene outfit, what the hell was I thinking anyway? Now little ferret has more to see and more to enjoy.
Yuck, the idea grossed the hell out of me.
Fuck Malfoy, what the hell does he think he was trying to do? Honestly, it felt so bad just having him on top of me, but to actually kiss me? And should I say that it wasn't just a kiss like a kiss, it was a kiss with fiery passion and it used a lot of tongue... Oh Great Merlin! Why did he do that anyway? What kind of debauched pervert is he?!
A godly perverted one that is! Fuck the hell out of him then!
I was so angry at him, I didn't notice my overuse of the indecorous and indecent words. That is so unlike me! But then I'm not me when I'm angry am I not?! I should know that by now.
What kind of weird day is this? After rethinking of what he did, I might consider killing him. That was kind of stupid of me though, just slicing him, I should have killed him when I had the chance but then again why risk it? It's only for my gain anyway; I'll be sacrificing the life of a more important person then and when I do that what's the point of living when its purpose is gone.
Idiot! I should've called Harry when I received that letter and not exactly plunge in into this mess! Now look where it got me?! In my enemy's lair but then again when you are deeply enamored with a single person, you wouldn't think twice about his invitation, would you?
OH THE JOYS OF YOUNG LOVE! Fuck love then for this is what it has done to me!
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!
I realized I did more thinking than running that Malfoy caught up with me! Oh, damn I am so doomed!
And that's where I did the actual fast sprint, to get away quickly but then again, Malfoy here had better reflexes, Damn Quidditch and all its benefits. Honestly, I'll murder that game one day, just listening to it makes me feel bored, and even more boring than I am now.
He held my hand and drew me closer to him, harshly.
"Get away from me you sick pervert!" I said in my foolish endeavor in slapping him, obviously he caught my hand.
"I don't think that's a wise idea, mudblood" he said smirking.
This guy seriously has to get real! I already sliced his neck and nearly killed him and he still had the guts to smirk? By any chance, Is Malfoy ever going to be intimidated by me, by far, just observing his actions made me think, I had the chance of a snowball in hell of getting him to be intimidated by me. In other words, I can't manipulate the man if I want to escape, I'll have to think of other sources. Creative sources that'll scare the hell out of him!
I shot him an icy glare and said, "Why can't you just die and rot for that matter?"
He laughed at that statement as if there's anything to laugh about!
"I didn't die dear mudblood because that cut you gave me wasn't deep enough, in fact I think it was only a scrape, even our cats can do better than what you just did, you honestly have no potential in killing, mudblood, if however you want to learn professional murder, see my father and he'll gladly teach you"
"I don't need your father's idea of brutal torture, I'm perfectly capable myself" I said strongly
"If you truly are, why not finish me off? Feeling a bit soft?"
"Because unlike you Malfoy, I have a thing called mercy!"
"Yeah and that mercy just lost you something important and not to mention you already had the chance of killing your enemy yet you threw it away"
Why are we even talking about this? Honestly, if he wants me to murder him so much then why can't he just find a steep cliff to jump into and die for real!
"I guess I need more practice then, so much for mercy and patience!" I spat
"Honestly mudblood, some peasant girl like you should have enjoyed what I have done earlier, you would have liked it but then you ruined the moment and I couldn't think of a bigger turn off, that is just unacceptable, you were in a position most women would die for, mudblood" he sneered
Peasant girl? He's got to be kidding!
"Well Malfoy, it wasn't like that for me, it was a position I might die from so I sliced you"
"You don't get it don't you?!"
"I don't, so I suggest you go practice your sexual assaults on that whorish disfigured maid of yours then or even better, go practice with Scarlette, I bet she'll just be waiting to serve you, Go molest them, they are you're servants and playthings, I may be your servant but I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT YOUR PLAYTHING!!!" I said as I whisked my hand away from his grasp but he grabbed it again.
I looked at his face, his eyes longing for my reply
"What do you want?" I huffed, still feeling the nausea of him touching me
Get away from me, you freak!
"From what you just did...Potter's life I think!"
Did I hear that right? Did he say he is taking Harry's life? My eyes bulged; it felt as if it was going to fall off of my eyelids.
"You what?" I choked
"Surprised? Well yes Granger, I'll be ordering his demise tonight! If you hadn't been such a slutty bitch, that moron may actually have the chance to live but seeing as you've already provoked me, you leave me no choice, you should've done what you should've done and that is to comply! Is that so fucking hard?" he asked angrily
I looked at him fuming, I can't believe after all he did to me, including the sexual assault, he was still going to murder Harry? What kind of sick monster is he? Harry is actually the only reason why I chose to spend the time with this sluggish prick, it's because of him I decided to live in this madhouse, knowing that there is no tomorrow for me to come.
It's as if death had come early when I received this news, the news of being his personal maid but when Malfoy said he's going to take Harry's life, death came in today. And he still had the fucking nerve to ask me if it was so hard to comply with him, Christ! I had enough of him already!
I just spent a few days in this manor and yet I couldn't live, Malfoy is a stink bomb. Now, I could never live because he is going to kill the person that made this already miserable life worth living
I whisked away my hand from him and said, "If you ask me, yes! That is so fucking hard to comply because you assaulted me by sexual means"
I can't believe I brought that up again, IDIOT!!! Before he could reply with a smartass answer, I fled but he caught me again and was forced to face him, again!
To my surprise the moron smirked and said, "It's not like you did not want it"
My muscles tightened and I felt my body stiffen and with that his smirk grew wider.
"So it's true then, the legacy hasn't faded because, it caught you..."
Why can't my mouth work when it needed to work for my defense?
I furrowed my brows and said as mightily as I could, "For your information Malfoy, I don't desire any physical contact with or from you because I find your looks very affronting and your vile sadistic attitude , if you must now, I don't want to catch either of the two"
Now that had to be a lie, right?
With that said his smirk faded but then with no other resort, he gave me the threat again,
"It doesn't matter mudblood, I am still going to kill your little Harry Potter whether you like it or not! And whether you like it or not, I'm going to leave your love life interrupted, trampled and obliterated by your worst enemy and that's how you should learn your lesson, the hard way. I gave you a chance but you denied it, so this is what you should get! Potter will die and you can do nothing about it, so this goes to say that you are indeed staying here forever with no Potter to save you. If your heart desires it, I can actually ask the Dark Lord for his head and I shall present it to you as condolence for your loss"
He said it with deep contempt and irate. Shit! There's no way out of this!
"If you must know dear mudblood, now that we have Potter, who should I inform you is defenseless, we can actually murder him anytime but Voldemort isn't feeling up to it, he loves the idea of torment but I can always hasten it by giving him my go signal and with that, you'll have no more Potter"
This guy is so sadistic that he could actually take Harry's life without thinking twice about it, I can do nothing about it besides what am I here? I'm nothing but a mere maid who currently Malfoy is growing fond of, fond of harassing that is. Harry will die and he would die the cheapest death of all because it was ordered and what's worse? It was ordered by his worst enemy. Malfoy is that sadistic, he can't even offer a proper burial fro Harry, and he'll just leave him in the sewer, dead.
Harry was once so great yet it's so sad to think that the great one can't pull off anything right now because death can come in anytime and whatever the reason may be, it's not that valid and I would be the who caused it.
I felt rage seep into me and I shouted as I whisked my hand away from his tightened grasp, "You're sick Malfoy, you're nothing but filth. Christ you're eviler than the man we all fear. You pride yourself on other people's misery, taking them as trophies, you are a man with no heart, you're merciless and depraved, and you owe everything to the world because of this. Even if you were to kill Harry, love will remain strong and that is what you don't know Malfoy, you don't know what love is, you don't even know what emotion is, you are nothing more than a mere dummy. You can kill Harry but you can never kill true love because that is something you can't define and which you can never understand. Your actions will prove to be futile because after all, keeping me here won't do anything, will it? It would just burden you more..."
And with that I walked away from him, tears streaming from my eyes. He said he would kill Harry and I know he would do it!
Christ! Why is he so fucking rude?
I never met a person more relentless than he is!
Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! I should've have known the consequences o my actions! He is going to kill Harry tonight and Damn, I know Harry wouldn't survive it!
Before I even walked three steps, he caught my hand again.
I turned and slapped him and surprisingly, this one he didn't manage to catch, he didn't even say a word about it, instead he asked,
"You're crying, aren't you?" he asked, his face slightly pinkish from the hard slap I gave him
"So what if I am, why should you care? People like you don't care and people like you don't have something we all call conscience and mercy! If you must know, Malfoy. I had been crying ever since your dark lord handed me this death sentence, now if you don't want another slap, let me go"
"What makes you think I'm going to allow it?!" he shouted then let go of me and that's when I went inside as fast as I could.
I ran as fast as I could but I stopped when I realized he wasn't following me, thank GOD!
Now, if Malfoy wasn't following me, why not pursue the little escape plan?!
Rain poured harder and as I looked down, it looked like I wasn't wearing anything at all; I knew I looked like that in front of Malfoy but I didn't notice him eyeing anything or something for that matter. Besides he was more drawn to our fight than to have his eyes rave around my nearly naked body. It was good I had panties on; I'll never forgive myself if I stood in front of Malfoy entirely naked.
I continued my pace and slipped over a tree branch, God! How clumsy could I get? It was actually because of my clumsiness that delayed my escape or rather why Malfoy caught up with me but this time, I was alone and no one was following me.
Weird, I thought and just because I was a curious little witch, I stared at Malfoy.
And there he was, sitting at the middle of the garden, doing nothing just sitting.
Malfoy sure is one weird man, well if he's soing nothing to prevent me from escaping, and then hell this must mean, Asta la vista madhouse. I was grinning as I was walking towards the door and it was then that I noticed that I still had the knife with me, I kind of inserted it at the side of my panties. I didn't remember doing that, probably because of Malfoy. This knife is the only remaining weapon I have, I have to keep it...
It felt cold against my skin as I walked to the manor and then finally as if it was just right there waiting for me to open them and see what's inside were two doors, engraved with the Malfoy crest. I couldn't remember what door I went through the first day I was here but then again I wasn't paying any attention, you wouldn't if tension is building you up.
Christ! This manor is so big; you have to have a compass to navigate. The door was made out of oak ivory, man this family is rich and I hate to think where their money came from. Maybe the Malfoys' were naturally corrupt people or they are just traditionally affluent people. Either way it justifies the fact that it pays to be rich.
So...What's behind door no.2? Whatever it is I just hope it's an escape for me not a dungeon or perhaps a room with a basilisk waiting for me. Malfoys' are weird and I can't be assured that that room is safe...
I reached for the golden knob, praying silently...
I did it slowly, almost melodramatically and just when there was enough room for me to peek in, I saw the most beautiful garden I have ever seen in my life. Much different than the garden I went into a while ago, that garden was just like a field to me but this, this has everything. It had a small bridge connecting to the other island and a slightly small river under it, it had so many beautiful plants too.
With this kind of scenery, it's hard to think that the Malfoys are bad at all, the place was just so serene and tranquil, and it's hard to think that depraved monsters actually made this garden possible.
I looked at the small hills at the far corner of the horizon and I saw that morning was creeping up, pinkish stains stained the dark blue sky. Hmmm, such a beautiful place. Just the right place for a thought that goes something like.....
Oooohhh!!!! Escape at last!!!!
I ran as fast as I could to that end and realized it wasn't raining there, the grass wasn't even damp, weird.
But then again, why think of the Malfoys' oddities when I already have escape. I continued running then I stopped in dismay as I saw that there actually was no escape because again, high fences were surrounding it and it seemed impossible for me to climb those. Fences that looked like small mountains...who knows what lies after those things.
AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
Why give luck when it just turns out to be nothing at all???
Luck is most definitely not on my side, so I walked into the manor gritting and grinding my teeth, were those fences meant for me???
I fumed as I walked in, at least I won't be dealing with the idiot!!!
I was walking inside the manor with no actual destination, I was just walking fuming and gritting my teeth while doing so and then I saw the most beautiful thing I saw in my entire life...
Two doors, one slightly ajar...then it all came into me....
The door Lucius and I entered on the first day...
A wave of euphoria swept over me as I watched the door and just outside it was a horse carriage, Oh man!!! Escape at last...
I ran for the door before anything could stop me, grinning broadly.
Then just as I reached the exit someone or something appeared and I bumped right into it sending me falling to the marble floor.
"What the hell?"
"Oh! Ms. Granger, it's you, I was actually looking for you, anyway Mr. Malfoy ordered me to tell you that you should get a shower---"
The face of hell stared back at me and I would've screamed out of fear if I wasn't that angry I would have. The moment she blocked my escape I swear I'll hate her forever. Instead of screaming I balled my fists and glared back at her.
It was the Malfoys' eccentric and erratic maid, Annie Palace. God! She had the worst timing in the world!
I saw the carriage going away, my escape...slowly fading away!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Idiot maid! Idiot me! Idiot Malfoy! Idiot escape plan!!!!
I felt cold anger contained inside me and it flowed out, it was the kind of anger I never experienced before, it was the anger I never usually let out, But now, I am horribly furious at the slipped chance I got of escaping and I had this wild surge of killing someone who gets in the way.
I WAS WAY ANGRY!!!! Angrier than I felt in the past few days...
I stood up and grabbed her neck with one hand and said, "You did that on purpose!"
She was choking as she said, "I did what on purpose?!"
She looked so pitiful that I released her, I tried pushing past her but she blocked my way with mighty force. Such compelling action for such a skinny woman. I thought, that with her frail body and wrinkled skin, I could easily push her away, I thought wrong. The maid had capabilities I didn't know she had.
I ran out of options, so I picked the last one. The worst one.
I grabbed the knife from the side of my panties and shrieked strongly, "If you won't budge, Palace, I swear I will kill you!"
She didn't seem perturbed by the knife instead she said, "The carriage was not meant for your escape, it was for Master Lucius who had things to attend to..."
Things to attend to...Yeah right! Lucius and his fellow deatheaters are probably up to something illegal again.
"I don't care Palace, just get out of the way and then you can stay alive!"
"I don't care if you will kill me mudblood, I came here on strict orders by the master himself and if I should let you escape, I will be on matters worse than death. So if you please step aside and let me take you to the showers"
"I don't hell want a shower!!! I want out of here, so back off!!!" I said flailing the knife over her
She didn't budge, I swore I could've killed her just for my escape but my conscience was bothering me, killing her won't do me anything good just escaping that's all, seeing Harry then have the authorities after me. I sighed, no matter how I hated the woman I could not bring myself to kill her, it's not in my nature. I'm not Malfoy who does not think twice about taking other people's lives.
I have so many things that Malfoy doesn't have but by far the greatest thing I have that he does not is conscience.
And that is when it bothered me, why act like a Malfoy if I hated him so much? I'd rather stay here for a hundred years than kill an innocent person on Malfoy's command just so I can escape. Why leave then if I would be living a life that once had an imprint of Malfoy's actions?
No, I can't have that; it's something I'll never accept because then again, my escape would be a product of debauchery and cowardice.
I didn't want that to happen, so I dropped the knife with a clatter to the floor and looked at her.
"You were saying?" I said as coldly as I could manage
I received no answer so I stared at her, when I did; I realized I did something wrong because she was like so close to tears...
"Wha--?"
She flailed her arms and placed it around me and the next I knew, she was hugging me. I didn't know how to react so I hugged her back. She was sniffling when I did. Oh hell, what the hell did I do wrong, my already drenched shirt was drenched more with her unending tears.
"Thank you...Thank you..."she said continuing repeatedly
I patted her back as I asked, "For what?"
"For showing me mercy that this family never offered me...Thank you very much, Miss Hermione" she said hugging me tighter and drenching me even more
I reacted awkwardly by patting her more in the back in a sort of dignified manner. She didn't deserve this, the Malfoys' knew that but they couldn't think of anything she deserves best. The Malfoys' as far as I'm concerned are just vile creatures walking about the earth tormenting other people and wrecking their lives. That's what they do whether it's an occupation or just an exhaust of their emotional anger or rather just a way of fun.
Then I again I wouldn't claim I know so much of Draco Malfoy, because I for one, don't.
When we broke apart she sniffled and I had this odd propensity to laugh. How could one person look pitiful and laughable at the same time? But I managed to restrain myself from bursting to chortles.
"You were saying again?" I asked in a lighter tone than the previous one I used on her
"Master Malfoy told me to usher you for a shower" she said wiping her tears with the sleeve of her brown and cream uniform.
"You still have the nerve to call that moron, Master? Honestly you should quit that shit; he doesn't deserve an ounce of your respect"
She smiled and said, "I know but I am indebted to him and his family and I have to do everything they say to keep what is left of my family alive"
I picked the knife from the floor s her words replayed on my mind.
What is left of my family alive? I didn't like the way that sounded then again the Malfoys' are brutal murderers. I wished to question Annie about her family but then I remembered her first reaction after I gave her my kind of careless interrogation. What is the reason behind this all? Is this just some façade or is there really some probity and veracity in her claims, if there is, then hell Malfoy is totally depraved.
The Malfoys' may be rich but they had no hearts, why did Annie have this treacherous sentence of lifetime service? It's just like what I received a few days ago....
I just smiled at her and every ounce of hate I had for her slowly drained away, she deserved some of my sympathy, that's why I decided to give it to her.
"I don't think Malfoy wanted me to get a shower, he just wanted me to stay put in this house, and he knew me to well and knew better than to let me escape"
Annie breathed her apology but I waved it off.
"You were commanded to; it's not your fault, honestly"
She went with me to the shower room I used before; when I did she went off leaving me with some clothes, not the uniform.
Christ thanks for that!
I went inside and closed the door, Annie left after that, I stared at the humungous bathroom again; I saw the tempting colossal bathtub waiting for me to get it and the not so tempting shower.
I chose the shower over the tub, I wanted to wash away the dirty memories I had the past few hours with Malfoy...
I got in to the shower, turned the knob and.........
"EEEEKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!"
I shrieked, the water was so cold, too cold it felt like a thousand needles piercing through my skin...My body felt numb the moment it came in contact with the water.
My head swirled with its cold temperature, no wonder why the Malfoys were so cold and heartless, it's because they have cold shower everyday. I felt a few more drips on my forehead before I turned it off.
I stared at the knob then after a while, I turned it on again, the same cold water fell over me and I shrieked again but this time much louder. God! I've got to stop doing that! I might wake someone up and get into serious trouble.
Because of my constant shrieks and violent movements, I sent water everywhere, almost flooding the entire area. Then again, their shower's current was strong enough to blow me away that it pounded on my head.
It took me a while before I got used to the odd temperature of the water, then I faced the water as I reminisced the memories I had when I was in seventh year, the last, the most wonderful and eventful year of my life and the most tragic as well.
I closed my eyes as the water splashed on my face, sending terrible tremors throughout my whole body.
No, I'm being a bit too dramatic; it's also the most horrible year. But then again it was also blissful.
I can still remember Harry courting me, bringing me to the balcony and declaring his love on the skies, that was truly sweet. Now the only thing I can call sweet in this house is something like candy.
Harry, I miss you.....
Where the hell are you.....?
Are you still alive.....?
God, I hope you're okay
I hope you are still alive
I hope that at this exact moment you're thinking of me too...
I hope you still love me despite what we've been through ...
I hope you won't blame me for this mess
I hope you still have a good amount of hair on...
This is pointless, Malfoy said he is going to kill him and there's no stopping him....
Harry, please fight him! Stay alive for me... at least
I broke down to tears as I realized he couldn't, he was wand less and defenseless.....
God Harry, why does it have to Malfoy?! Of all the people, it had to be him!!!
Then suddenly I remembered a similar dream I had recently, a dream I once had on my seventh year.
My head ached as I got a clear vision of my dream.
The horrible dream, the horrible dream I had of me and Draco.
So suddenly I opened my eyes and realized that the dream was somewhat connected to where I am now...
No, it can't be, Malfoy and I can never have sex, we are too different, it's not a premonition. It's just a childish coincidence, Malfoy and I will never have sex, not even in a million years or in my next left. The idea is just so absurd....
Then again judging his actions a while ago...
OH MY GOD!!!!
No, No, No!
I might be here, totally defenseless and helpless but nothing of that sort is going to happen because I'm not letting it happen, no...it won't happen, I'm pretty sure of that.
I racked my brain hard as I told it again and again...
YOU WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH MALFOY!
YOU WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH MALFOY!
YOU WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH MALFOY!
YOU WILL NOT HAVE SEX WITH MALFOY!
This is getting silly!!! I am never going to do anything to him, just because I had that dream, premonition...whatever! Doesn't mean it really has to happen, it's not necessary!
I don't even like him, my heart raced as I realized....
I didn't even dislike the kiss he gave me........
GOD, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
I didn't dislike the caresses he gave or the wonderful kiss, not even the tantalizing smile. Well at least not now, maybe tomorrow I'll forget about it...
Oh Harry why do you have to be so far away????
You're so faithful to me so I have to do the same, not that I like Malfoy but I just might have the tendency to do so...
Harry, no matter what happens to me I'll never stop loving you even though as time goes on I'll feel something towards the enemy because I know there was something going on when he gave me that kiss, I didn't dislike it...It reminded me of you....
I'm sorry Harry, but nevertheless, I don't think I'll ever fall for the enemy because it's for you, my heart is only for you...
Just stay alive for your sake...and mine too...Because when you're alive there is no guarantee that I'll fall for a monster....STAY ALIVE...
I applied shampoo as I thought about my recent predicament, after I was done I approached the clothes Annie left for me, they were nice well picked out clothes, clothes decent girls like me love to wear and clothes men like Malfoy think is for the daughters of pastors, the one they think that revealed to little skin. But then again, I like it so there's nothing he can do about it.
I put on the underwear first, God! I hope none of this is Narcissa's I hate the thought of borrowing other women's clothes and the thought of borrowing other women's lingerie....Eeyuck! The thought of having those panties worn by someone else...older than you! But at the present moment, I had no other option, this was the only option I have and I have nothing to do but to gladly accept it rather than object.
Besides, it's a lot better than that horrid uniform Malfoy prepared for me.
I picked the bra, it was lacy blue and I tried it on, at first it didn't seem to fit but after a few seconds, it readjusted itself magically to my bust size.
Oh the joys of having magical fashion lingerie, I thought sarcastically
It honestly amazed me, having so much magical items contained in one hands.
There are not only magical items but also dark artifacts, my brain retorted
After everything was set, I approached the magical head to foot mirror and studied myself.
Not bad! I thought
In fact, I think I look beautiful which rarely happens, I hated the way I used to look but then again why should I like the way I look now, Malfoy created this, not me. This is Malfoy's creation a mixture of oddity, beauty and a bit of sex (Honestly, the boobs and the eyebrows, I missed my old bushy eyebrows!), just what he wanted his maid to be...
Then again it's a lot better; maybe I'll thank him someday.
"You look good, Ms. Granger but that long blue skirt and turtleneck button down long sleeves baby blue shirt doesn't seem to match, it looks like it was picked out by someone who looks like this..." the mirror said
Then it showed Annie's reflection at first, her bright reflection and colored hair almost blinded me on the spot, I almost shrieked then I stifled my chortles
"You honestly look like a nun" it said
I furrowed my brows and said, "Who asked your opinion anyway?!"
Now I'm totally losing it, I'm picking a fight with the Malfoy's mirror?
"No one but I think a certain man of this house will like it better if you had something like this on..."
Then it showed my reflection wearing the exact same outfit only it was a bit tampered with, the turtleneck shirt I had on was now sleeveless and the long skirt long disappeared, and was then replaced with a shorter skirt just right below the knees and my hair was tied neatly in a bun.
"Nah, I don't think so, I like this better...Hey!!! Why are you functioning like a high tech mirror anyway? Mirrors are just supposed to speak not give suggestions!!!"
"Let's just say I'm one of the creative creations of Mr. Draco Malfoy..." it said
Yeah...Draco Malfoy, the one I've been recently thinking about because of the crazy dream I had but then I didn't have that dream only once I had it almost three times I think....
It's just impossible, Malfoy and I...making love???
That can't even be called making love for Malfoy, it's just plain sex
I heard a slight knock on the door but I didn't quite hear it. Maybe it was just the wind if it's somebody, I hope it isn't that Malfoy again.
God! The idea of having sex with him is as bad as having sex with someone who is asleep for that matter.
This is insane! We are not even in first name basis, we are still like students in school, calling each other with our last names, at least one of us does, he doesn't, he calls me that annoying name as ever a name he'd like to call—
"MUDBLOOD!!!"
God! Why did I even forget to lock that god damned door! So, since I was such a water princess a while ago it sent my wonderful water prince a.k.a Malfoy, sliding then crashing into me...
Did I just call him my water prince? Nah!!!
I was so surprised I didn't realize that Malfoy and I were in the position before, him on top of me..... His impact on top of me was so great that his face almost touched mine, I even thought he was going to kiss me! God thanks, he didn't! His weight was over me and he felt really heavy, talk about muscular athletes, no actually his weight was added because of his drippy clothes, the clothes he had on when we were under that torrential rain...
"Get away from you freak! What the hell are you doing here, anyway?"
He didn't budge instead he pushed my shoulders to the floor more, ripping the brand new shirt I loved, sending buttons flying away. The bra I wore was starting to show along with my cleavage, so I had to push him away, but he didn't budge.
"Malfoy, will you move??????!!!!!!!!!"
He didn't, instead his gaze traveled from my face to the newly ripped blouse which showed the wonderful line that separates my two breasts. God! Does this guy have to be such a pervert every time?
"Get up, Malfoy--!"
I stopped because I definitely noticed something on my leg, something hard....
I looked at him then he got up and turned the other way, so I wouldn't see him or rather the 'thing' he was hiding. I got up and straightened my skirt.
Before I did, I noticed him blushing.
My gawd! Malfoy...is blushing? Now where the hell did that come from?
Shit! Now my clothes are wet! Leave it to Malfoy to ruin everything!
"God! Malfoy, do you have to destroy every clothing I have? Look what you've done, my clothes are wet..."
He gave no reply, instead I heard him draw in long breaths, the one that you usually do to calm your nerves...
What the hell??
"What are you doing here, Malfoy?! Didn't you notice I was taking a bath and that I was having my private time?!"
Glad for the first time he replied, his silence was slightly unnerving.
"Private time my arse Granger" he said but he still was not facing me
"Then what the hell are you doing here, anyway??"
"Annie heard screaming twice! So I came in to check" he said slightly seething
"Well, she could have come herself, why leave it to you? Worried about your little maid Malfoy?"
"Shut up!"
"I won't and why aren't you facing me?!"
"I can't look at a horrid face, especially a face more horrid than Annie's!"
"Quit joking Malfoy and face me!"
"Curious little witch, aren't we mudblood?"
"What are you hiding show it to me!" I demanded like a six year old girl with blonde pigtails.
God, I'm such a whiner.
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No!"
"YES!!!"
"Why were you screaming again?" he asked
I was so shocked at his sudden question that I answered directly
"Because the shower was so cold, thanks to you!"
"How cold?"
"Very cold! NOW WHY WON'T YOU FACE ME?!"
Before I could say another word he sped up to the shower and turned the knob and showered himself into the coldness of that evil water with his lower clothes on...
That's when I realized it, that's when it all came to me....
"Stimulated aren't we Malfoy, can't believe you would be turned on by a mudblood like me....."
Oh man! Am I going to have fun torturing him...
"Shut up!"
I smirked and thought about torturing him a bit more...
"Ah, Malfoy...this is something that should land on the Daily Prophet with a headline that says "A pureblood falls for a mudblood" or it should even appear on Witch Weekly something like "A biased pureblood goes for a filthy mudblood, where's the ethics now?"
I said savoring every word slipping out of my mouth.
"I said shut up, Granger, I'm warning you!" he said
"Tell me why I should, Malfoy, you have no threat against me now, do you? Harry is dead what makes you think I'll be following every order you'll be throwing at me—"
He shot me a look, a look that should have sent me running, but it didn't, in fact I stayed.
Smirking at me he turned the knob off.
He got out of the shower smirking looking lewdly at me, his hair now very disheveled and walked towards me...
Something tells me that I should start running but something held me in place to, it must be his intense gaze....God!
His hands trailed on my face, touching and violating every inch of milky skin his finger landed on.
He was still smirking, why wasn't I doing anything?! Easy, I couldn't, something about his stare made me just stay put.
His hands traveled to the line that separates my two breasts, stroking slightly and he ripped the already ripped shirt, ripped it all the way down, sending more buttons flying.
There was nothing I could do, just stand and stare.
He slowly slid his hands to both of my shoulders and took the entire shirt off my upper torso, leaving me with the lacy blue bra only. His hands trailed on the lacy details of the bra sending shivers down to my spine.
I could hear myself moan from it. IDIOT!
His smirk grew wider because of it. He rested his hands on one of my breasts and felt my heartbeat, my sporadic heartbeat because of his soft touch.
WHY AM I LETTING HIM VIOLATE ME?!!!!
SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!
His sudden softness was interrupted when he pushed me to the wall of the comfort room.
"What the?!"
Now he was so close, he held my waist with one of his muscular arms and grabbed me closer and before I could protest, his lips met mine.
He gave me a very mocking kiss.
A kiss much different than the kiss he gave me a while ago.
My body seemed to have a mind of its own because his kiss aroused something in me, something like an inner desire, something fishy that I didn't like one bit. Something about his kiss made me grasp his naked and wet torso closer to me. He was pushing me to the wall while slowly disheveling my neat hair. He responded by grabbing me closer holding me tighter, somewhat possessively. I did something on my own too, I stroked his platinum hair.
I was angry with him, very angry to be exact but why am I letting him do this to me???
WHY? WHY? WHY?
I felt his hard length against one of my legs .
WHY AM I DOING THIS???!!! I already made a pact with my stupid brain not to do something like this! Something tells me I have this secret desire for him.....not.
My mind was functioning weirdly, I couldn't bring myself to do something about his intimate torture.
But when his kiss deepened and traveled onto my neck, something happened since that was a different story.
I raised my hand and slapped him...hard.
REAL HARD!!!
I thought he would twitch in pain or throw foul words at me or even worse, curse me to death.
What I didn't expect was a laugh, a laugh from the arrogant ferret.
I glared at him.
"That ought to shut you up! Nothing personal, Granger, it's just that you're getting a bit too noisy for my taste!" he said holding my chin to face him while mocking me.
"Honestly, I thought you would react right away but I guess I'm wrong caused you liked it didn't you? You loved it! Admit it, you do...Damn I'm good! Now, I'm not the only one who is stimulated, turns out...YOU ARE TOO!"
I fumed; I couldn't believe this git still had the guts to do that after killing Harry. Treacherous idiot! And I can't believe I just stood there doing nothing, God! I had to do something, I think it's just because I love Harry so much and miss him that I suddenly thought Malfoy was Harry...
Nah! I don't think so...
I have to figure this or I'll die from what I just did...
I just kissed Malfoy on my own will! That's something that is really weird!
He'll pay for that, I'll make sure he will and God he will pay well! I picked the remains of my used to be beautiful shirt and put it on without any hesitance of any kind.
"Well then Malfoy" I said as sweetly as I could though it sounded vile...
"TASTE THIS!!!"
And that's when my leg met his over stimulated dick and I kicked it hard.
"Ooof!!"
He clutched it, that's 2 for me and nothing for Malfoy, I score twice on a single day.
Not bad! Talk about girl power!
Before he could hex me or curse me or do anything at all, I lunged for the door and went out leaving him with his tormented penis.
I smiled at the thought
Draco's POV
I was still clutching my penis, which the mudblood kicked a while ago.
Fucking Bitch!
Does she have to do that every time I do something intimate to her? Honestly, she should be thanking me for that kind of gesture, not kicking my penis every time she gets aroused by actions. Honestly, I think she was.
Damn hell, it hurts so much! My face contorted with agony and pain as I tried to look at the mirror.
I still look good, despite the fact that I already had my hair disheveled.
"My god! Mister Malfoy, what happened? You look horrible!" the mirror said in what you call European accent
"Shut up, Liar! You're supposed to adore me every time not judge me!"
I studied myself and noticed the bulge didn't even ease after that hard kick! Damn! Even cold showers don't help anymore...
You nasty twit!
Although I must say, the mudblood's kick helped well than that stupid shower.
Damn that mudblood to death.
The little thing I had still hurts so...
"ANNIE!!!!!!!!!!!"
God! Why do I have to resort to this maid?
Easy! She wasn't going to kick my dick at any cost and besides, she'll be begging me to order her around.
At least when she's around, this little thing won't get hurt.
"Hmmm..."
I didn't notice the little maid was there, of course she got her wand back you moron! What do you expect her to do? Walk from floor 1 to floor 6? You've got to be kidding me!
I noticed she was staring at something....
"What the hell are you looking at?" I snarled looking at her
"Nice length you have there, Draco..."
"Shut up!"
God! I'm sick of people making fun of my thing!
She approached me and touched my bare chest with her two overly callused hands and massaged it...
Shit! What the hell is the moron doing?
I threw her hands away but she continued to smile and trail her finger on my contours.
God! I wish the mudblood would do that....
No....wait!
"Tell me Annie, what exactly are you doing?" I said coldly
She faced me and smiled, I WISH SHE DIDN'T!!!!!!!!
I could have almost cried at the spot! Could anyone possibly be uglier than this creature? She even makes nineteen year old guys cry...Hell, please get out of here now! You're scaring me honestly.
But I maintained my cool...
"Well Draco, it concerns something with this little thing..." she said as her hand slipped down and clutched my thing.
I quickly grabbed her hand and drew her closer, I wish I didn't now the face of hell was so near to my face, I backed off a bit and smelled the scent of blueberries again. I'm getting sick of that scent.
She smiled, "Hasty aren't we?"
"Tell me, what exactly you are talking about?!" I shouted
"Oh you know Draco..."she said in her foolish attempt in being sweet "I didn't now a good looking guy will be really stimulated by an ugly girl like me"
I clutched her wrist tighter...
Shit!
Damn! I couldn't tell her, I could never tell her it was because of the mudblood, if I would she would ran off to my mother and tattle, that would get me into so much trouble, more trouble than I already am now....
Damn the little fucking pointy over stimulated thing then!
I released her wrist and thought about it---
Just as I was about to do some thinking a pair of overlarge fish lips lunged straight to my face and landed on my lips...
"EEEYUCK!!! Annie, will you get real?! Get away from me will you?" I shoved her away hardly that she almost crashed on the wall, if I didn't hold her to prevent her from doing so.
I don't want that to happen, I never want that to happen because if that would, I'll be in serious trouble, there are some things in this house not worth meddling with, not even Annie Palace, our twit maid, even if she deserves meddling, she doesn't deserve hurting. If anything happens to her, Oh god....I will just---
"Why? You like me, don't you? I mean your thing tells me you do"
"Shut up and I don't like you"
God! I wish I didn't call her in the first place...
Fucking maid!
"But you do...--"
"Annie! This is pointless, YOU ARE MY MAID! Okay? My maid! Not my girlfriend, not even my plaything—"
"I could be your plaything" she suggested hopefully
"You're not applicable and appropriate for the job, I only hire good looking PUREBLOOD witches, not deformed maids like you"
Even though she knew I was joking she took it seriously and started sobbing, God! I would do nothing to comfort her! No way! Malfoys' are heartless by nature so there is no way in this world that I'll ever be comforting that miserable twit!
"Look, this is pointless! You are my maid and—"
"You don't seem to see it that way when it's her!" she sobbed
Oh damn! She can't be bringing this up, not now...God please!
"Look will you so something with it first" I said referring to my thing and she did with her wand, she flicked it and glad for the first time, it relaxed.
"Anyway, who are you pertaining to when you said 'her'" I said
There is no way in hell she's telling me it's the mudblood, she didn't notice did she? Or am I just that obvious?
"Don't you even play mind games with me, Draco! I know you like the mudblood, I saw you both under the rain and GOD! I am ever so thankful you got sliced, Can't you see it, and she doesn't like you! I know how you feel, you feel that this is the certain girl who is fit enough to give you attention, well let me tell you something, it may be attention but it's loathe, Draco...it's not attraction, the mudblood loves Potter stick to that!" she said strongly
Liar! Why did she respond to my actions if she didn't feel any attraction of any kind?! Why did she have to bring up that subject.? And why drag along Potter?
"Look Palace, I was horny and I...You're 25 for God's sake and I'm 19! Do cram some sense into yourself!"
"Don't even try to change the subject!!!"
"Just leave it, will you?"
"No! Don't you know what you're risking just by liking her?" she asked
Shut up bitch! Just shut up!!! But I couldn't make her, the more she talks the more I want to hear!
Damn maid!
"What am I risking then?" I asked raising my brows "besides Palace I don't like her, lust and like are very different words..."
"Shut up! I know you do, don't you even know you're risking her very life because of your careless actions?"
No, I didn't know that
"You're father won't approve of this, Draco!"
But father isn't here to notice his son's misdemeanors, Is he? I though in deep contempt, just thinking about my father made me want to strangle somebody, he left again, left for that vile monster! He didn't even attend to his son, damn! It's in times like this I wish I had a brother or sister, someone I could scheme up with to rebel against my ignorant parents!
Damn Father to hell! I swear from this day on, I will no longer regard him as my father but rather a mere decoy standing about in this manor adding to the painful agonies of his long lost burdened son.
I hate this life! I hate my fucking father and mother!
"You—"
"Shut up!"
"You can't—"
"I can! And shut up! Leave and don't show me your vile face again and I swear if you try to kiss me again, I swear I'll kill you" I said sadistically
"You can't do that you are—"
"Do you think I'll even think about that when I'm this angry, Palace?" I said looking at her squarely at the eyes
She said nothing more and she bowed and made her exit, tears clearly seen in her eyes
"Palace!" I barked
She looked at me inquiringly "Clean this mess and get the mudblood some new clothes and tell her I'll be seeing her in the waiting room" I barked
I could hear her mumble from my command but she could do nothing so she cleaned the mess and made her exit.
I hated the way she reminded me of being alone in this miserable life, I hated the way she reminded me that no one else seems to care, I hated the way she reminded me of the most essential things I lack in this life...
But the thing I hated most, is the pounding denial in my head about the mudblood that she seems to be pressing on every conversation we have...
I went into my room and took the black silky box and opened it, I've been saving this ever since that mudblood landed on this manor. It's only for her and for no one else and I decided to give it to her, she deserves it.
Surprise is definitely in store for the unknowing bitchy mudblood!
It's going to be pure torment for her, well that's enough to compensate for her audacious attempt in kicking me on the balls. How many victims do this mudblood actually have how many balls were tormented and left...battered? How many guys were wafted by her beauty and left....very much scathed.
I hated to think about Potter's balls when he starts to shag her, then again the mudblood will probably allow it. It is Potter isn't it? There's pure guarantee she'll give herself wholly to him. I gritted my teeth at the thought. No, it's not that I like her it's just that Potter actually has a bigger chance of shagging her than I do, something I feel right now is what I call lust and I WILL NEVER mistake it for love. That's all, just lust, not love not even like.
Potter had a bigger chance on lust that I did with the mudblood, my first attempt...GOT SLICED which by the way is still probably open, don't care. Second attempt....GOT SLAPPED AND KICKED....on my third attempt...this will probably be written on my tombstone
Draco Anthony Xavier Malfoy
R.I.P
DIED because of a mudblood's aggressiveness in sex and a horrid maid's interruption. Though dead he may be, legacy lives on and before he died he managed to take the mudblood's virginity. Though we all think it's because of the mudblood's touch that killed him, purebloods therefore are generally allergic to mudbloods and his death shall prove it.
Yeah, that's about it, she would kill me in my third attempt and by that time, I would have castrated balls. Oh god! Treacherous aggressive bitch she is!
As my thoughts reached Granger, Annie's horrid face popped again and this time, I didn't feel laughing anymore.
Damn you Palace! Why do you have to act like my conscience every time?
Hermione's POV
Damn that little ferret! I hope that agony I gave him will last for a lifetime, insufferable prick! Stupid idiot! Thinking he could do that for the second time this day! I swear he'll pay and he will pay well!
Insufferable prat!
I hope that over stimulated penis of him tormented him so much, I hope that kick would last an agony for years. Then again, why did I respond to his kisses? Why did I allow it? He is my enemy why I am playing to his rules, I'm not supposed to be compliant, I'm supposed to obstinate and headstrong, and I'm not some girl who directly gives in. Maybe Malfoy just knows how to handle the mood which made me respond.
Idiot!
God! I must miss Harry so much, why did he have to---
Shit! Harry...
I clearly remembered Malfoy saying he would kill him...perhaps that's why Lucius went off to go somewhere for the demise of my fiancé. Oh shit! Why does that prat have to be so relentless? Maybe that's why Annie never allowed me to go out in the first place because some things have to be done....
Oh my god! Harry was about to die and just a few moments ago I was fooling around with Malfoy....
Damn!
I sobbed silently at the chair, I was sitting down at the entrance hall of the manor, or so that's what I think just sitting down not escaping, I was behaving for once! Malfoy ought to be thankful and proud of that! Besides what use is escaping now? When I already have nowhere to go? No Harry to return to, no love to share....no person to love!
Fuck you Malfoy! Fuck you to hell!
I got up my shirt flailing around, the stupid git did this and if I had a wand I could have fixed it! But no! Master Malfoy wants his own way to be followed, no wands for the maids.
Screw you Malfoy, you've done enough damage to my life already...
I don't even consider you as my enemy anymore, I consider you one of the persons I intend to kill one day, one day you'll see, I will kill you, just like you killed Harry and I shall feast on your body, eat it's delectable skin and taste it with savory sauce have you cooked in a pan......
No way! That's too barbaric, I guess killing will do, but eating is different thing.
I reached for one of the curtained windows of the Malfoys', the Malfoys' have this weird rule about keeping the house well shaded, not one of the curtains should be opened ever. Weird. Really weird.
No wonder why they are so dark, or perhaps they're just afraid someone from the ministry might actually find this place, but then, it's a secret dwelling isn't it? So why close the damned curtains? Honestly, the Malfoys' skin need more light from the sun.
I peered through the window and noticed daybreak came...beautiful colors came from the horizon of mountains surrounding the area.
God! I wish you were here Harry, here with me watching the beautiful scenery...holding our hands declaring our love to the skies....I just want you to know wherever you are dead or alive, I still love you, that will never change even in death....
Suddenly someone welcomed himself/herself from the double doors
I spun around to see who the person was....
"Hermione!!" he said
God I couldn't believe it!
It was Harry....
God! I sure do hope this one's a cliffie because I've wanted a cliffhanger in my story for so long! Tell me what you think about it, was it so much, so less? So whatever? Tell me anything, I'm open with suggestions and so many things! Just leave a little review for the longest chapter I've made yet!
Thank you so much guys! And for the record, Adam Levine is still hott, though not as hott as....Ryan Philippe too bad the guy is married to someone like Reese, it should've been someone like me, like dream on!
Hahahaha!
See you guys on December! Luv yah all!
Hehehehe,
What do you think of this as a new story, sort of parallel to this but not quite(Like here, this was actually HERMIONE'S STORY in this new one, it's actually Draco's)...Here's the briefing: What if one day Hermione 'accindentally' saves Draco and what comes with it is a special bond, a bond that even Malfoy can't breach, which means he must do anything that Hermione wants and just what this mudblood wants is what he can't comprehend and do, being her slave....Setting seventh year and told mostly in Draco's POV...
Whaddya think? I'm working on another one which will probably come out on December, it would've been earlier if my brother didnt mess up with the PC and delete it from the desktop. OOOHHH! Someday I'm gonna murder the hell crap out of him!
Toodles yall!
