Manor Tour

I'm sorry I haven't updated any of my stories in like forever because of my new school but I assure you that all of them are in progress :) So here's the next chapter. Hopefully this one is better. Thanks for the reviews! Enjoy!

Hermione thought about she was going to survive working for Draco as she folded her casual clothes and placed them into her dresser. After she put her makeup bag on her vanity, she made her way back down to the kitchen.

'Where's the fridge?' she thought as she walked around the island. She opened a cupboard and was surprised to find that it was actually a door. She walked in to find a stainless steel, fully equipped kitchen.

She gasped as she saw at least half a dozen house elves cleaning up after the last meal.

They all stopped what they were doing and stared at Hermione. She froze. One elf stepped forward and walked in front of her.

"Umm hello?" Hermione said still in shock.

"Hello ma'am. May I get you anything?" in a high squeaky voice, before looking up at Hermione with those huge brown eyes.

"No thank you. I'm the new maid here my name in Hermione. What's yours?" She asked as she bent down to his level.

He giggled nervously before saying, "My name is Zaid and these are my friends Kaci, Yusuf, Jamel, Riya, and Tamya," He said as he pointed to each of the elves as they either smiled or nodded to Hermione politely.

"Its nice to meet you all and don't worry about me, I may just come in here sometimes for a snack or a small meal."

"What could Zaid get for you?" The house elf asked as he walked over to the refrigerator.

"Oh no! I mean no thank you. I'm actually muggle born and I can work all of the appliances on my own and I don't exactly believe in enslaving house elves," Hermione explained as she remembered her SPEW club, back at her first couple of years at Hogwarts.

"Very well ma'am," He agreed with a low bow before they all returned to their normal chores.

After she finished her favorite muggle sandwich, a b.l.t, Hermione she walked up to her new room and found a small surprise.

On her perfectly made bed was a note with a medium sized box under it. She walked up to it wearily and quickly snatched up the note. It read:

Granger,

Almost forgot the best part. And wear it with one of your new outfits and a pair of shoes at the bottom of your closet. I'll show you around the house at one, meet me at the bottom of the stairs.

-DM

Hermione groaned in frustration before working up the nerve to open the white box. She let out another groan, "Well doesn't this just top this fabulous day off," She said sarcastically to no one in particular.

Ten minuets later Hermione finished putting on the first maids dress that Draco had shown her, she placed his "gift" on her head. It was a black silk headband with white lace ruffles sticking up. In her opinion, she looked completely ridiculous. Like one of those slutty maids in old movies who had love affairs with their masters. She laughed at the thought as she reluctantly slipped on a overly high pair of heals.

She stood up and took a step before wobbling then falling back onto her bed. She sighed before taking out her wand and casting a few balance, and non-trip spells. She got up and made her way to the top of the stairs.

Draco turned around at the sound of 'clack clack clack.' He smirked as he watched the scowling Hermione make her way down the grand staircase. He couldn't suppress his laughter any longer.

"Ha ha, ok, you had your laugh now please tell me that I don't actually have to wear this horrid thing."

After his laugh attach faded he replied, "Sorry Granger, it not a joke. But you clean up well, for a mudblood that is," he finished with a wink and walking to his left before Hermione even had a chance to respond.

Hermione stood feet planted in place as she glared at Draco before sighing and following him.

"This is the sitting room. That room over there is the library, and next to that is the study. You already know the kitchen. This is the traditional games room. That is the dinning room where we eat both lunch, dinner and sometimes breakfast if I decide on having a large meal. Umm lets see… That is the Den and that one is the bathroom and the china room is next to that. That's the studio and across is the billiards room. That is the ballroom where all of our large gatherings are held," Draco then walked into a completely glass room, "This is our conservatory. And this is the back yard," He finished as he opened the translucent door that reveled a truly breath taking sight.

Hermione gasped as she followed Draco into his yard. There was a courtyard surrounded by a few paths with quaint tables to sit at. To her left there was a small fishpond with exotic looking pants in it. On her right was a huge flower garden with vivid colors and the plants organized to perfection. Ahead lay a perfectly mowed field that looked like the grass on the green at golf courses. It seamed to go on forever until a quidditch pitch came into view. It was about ¾ the size of the one at Hogwarts. Even beyond that sat a large lake that which you could barely see the other side of.

Hermione let out a breath that she was not aware that she was holding. Living in London as a child, she never had a back yard because of the lack of space. Yes, she did go to parks but even they were not as grand as what her eyes grazed over at the moment.

Draco smirked at Hermione's astounded expression.

She finally peeled her eyes off of the view when she saw Draco staring at her from the corner of her eye.

"What?" She asked.

"I'm sorry I don't understand the question," Draco's smirk widened.

Hermione scowled and stomped back inside with Draco at her heels.

Just as they arrived into the kitchen Narcissa walked in and took one look at Hermione. She had that same twinkle in her eye as Dumbledore had when he was suspicious of something. She looked at her son with a hint of a smirk before turning to Hermione, "I'm sorry I was not able to join you two on the tour, I was just packing my bag."

"You're leaving?" Draco questioned obviously have herd this news for the first time.

"Yes, it came up quite suddenly. I will be traveling to Egypt on a business trip. I expect you to run The Malfoys Industries while I am gone, seeing that it will be your quite soon."

"I suppose…. How long shall you be gone?" Draco wondered as he leaned on the closest counter.

Hermione just stood there awkwardly suddenly taking a lit of interest in her new shoes.

"Only a week, and I expect you to treat Hermione with upmost respect. Maybe you can even let her join you at work?" Narcissa suggested as Hermione looked up to find Draco looking at her.

He turned back to his mother, "Maybe," was his only reply.

"Good. Now that that is all settled, why don't you go up to Hermione's room with her and tell her what jobs she will be doing whiles at the manor?"

Both teens nodded and headed up the steeps.

Once in Hermione's room Draco strutted in and flopped down on her bed. Hermione rolled her eyes, annoyed at Draco's actions.

"Oh before I forget, this is a bracelet that my mother buys all of the maids," Draco handed her a thin-ish silver bangle with a beautiful handcrafted design on it.

Hermione looked at Draco wearily, studying his face for any signs that this was just a prank. She found nothing so shrugged and let Draco slip the bracelet around her wrist.

Once he had removed his hands it shrunk until it was practically a cuff. Hermione was surprised then glared at Draco's smug face as she tried to sip off the cuff with no avail.

He took out his wand and mumbled an incantation before taping the silver piece of jewelry with the tip of his wand. She glared at him until he sighed dramatically and stood up to leave.

"Were do you think your going? Tell me what you did to my bracelet!" He just smirked at her with an I'm-up-to-something look.

Hermione sighed in frustration as she lay back on her bed and starred at the ceiling. She tugged on her bracelet hoping that she could somehow A few moments past and she was about to go looking for Draco, who never told her what she was supposed to be doing on a day-to-day basis, until an invisible force jerked her forward.

Her arm forcibly led her out the door and down the hall, and not gently she might add.

Hermione was practically running just to avoid smashing into the corners when she took a sharp turn. Finally barged into a large set of double doors. But it didn't stop there; apparently this was a bedroom because before she knew it, Hermione was sprawled out over green silk sheets head down.

She heard someone next to her clap very slowly and sarcastically. She lifted her head from the fluffy pillow to look up at whom was mocking her.

She groaned and put her head back down into the pillow, 'Why does it always have to be Draco?'

Draco gave an evil grin then said, "Granger!" Hermione uncontrollably rolled over on top of the now smirking blonde, "I know its hard to keep off of me Granger, but try to act professional on your first day of the job."

Hermione was livid. She attempted to remove her body from his but after trying for a while she was spent. She rested on Draco who gave a laughed at her attempt before rolling over so that he was now on top of her. She opened her eyes widely in surprise but didn't say anything.

He grabbed her wrists and locked them with his own on either side of her head. He looked into her eyes with a serious expression.

"Draco?" Hermione said nervously looking into his silvery-gray eyes.

He leaned closer practically crushing Hermione's petit body, "Are you scared," he said in a quiet voice very seductively.

She gulped the shook her head no. He leaned in closer and Hermione started panicking. He now rested the side of his head on hers and whispered, "How. About. Now," but before she could respond he directed his head to her right wrist and gently kissed

She let out a gasp of relief as Draco flopped over to her side.

"Well?" she asked as she turned her head to him, "Aren't you going to tell me what this is all about and how I was unable to remove myself from you without you making out with this bloody bracelet?"

"OK for one thing, I did not 'make out' with your bracelet I just released you from the spell by kissing it."

"You pig! And do you care to explain why your mother wanted me to have this cursed jewelry?" Hermione practically shouted as she sat up.

Draco just pushed himself into a relaxed position with his back resting on the large bed board before responding casually, "Confession. Yea my mother never really gave that to you, it was actually my ingenious idea," Draco said as his smile swelled with pride.

Hermione gave him a disgusted look, "Well once I tell her she will surely remove it I mean she wont approve—" Hermione was cut off.

"Sorry mudblood, only I am capable of removing it bracelet and my mother does not control my actions, I do."

"UGH! Take it off!" Hermione whined as she unsuccessfully tugged on it.

Draco smirked, "Just think of it as a training wheel. You learn to come when you are called, it is taken off. But if you resist, it stays on."

"This is absolutely barbaric!" Hermione exclaimed as she abruptly stood up and marched out of the room.

She made it halfway through the hall before being swung around by her wrist and back into Draco's sleeping chambers.

She stopped right in front of him with her hands resting on her hips with a scowl on her face.

"Good! Now that you know how everything works, you can start your job by cleaning my room," Draco smirked as he headed to a door presumably to his bathroom. Before he entered the room he looked over his shoulder and said, "Now don't try anything funny or the punishment will be twice as bad as this," he motioned to his room.

For the first time Hermione took a good look at his room. It was filthy! The floor was littered with a variety of different clothing, books, and empty dishes. His shelves were all out of order and she peeked into his closet and not a single article of clothing was hung up.

Hermione sighed as Draco left with an evil laugh and shut the door. She heard a muffled, "It better be all done by the time I finish in here or you will endure the same punishment," she heard a bath start to run and hung her head before starting her chore.

'This is going to be a long day,' Hermione thought as she bent down to pick up some a pair of green silk boxers.

Yay! One down two to go! I promise to update the others soon as long as you all review! Thanks! Luv u all!
