Disclaimer: Just read it!

Tori closed the door, shuddering as the house was finally emptied of those men. Draco's men.

He must have sent them after he left, she thought walking out of the empty foyer and up to the bedroom. The sheets had not been made since Draco's early departure and she could still smell whisps of his cologne on the pillows. She sighed. Draco would always remain a mystery to her. She sat on the bed, pulling the sheets tightly around her as she stared out the window. It hadn't stopped raining. Her mind traveled to when she and Draco had first met. He hadn't known then...

-------------------

Tori ignored the looks she got from the men as she entered the pub, waiting for her brother. He was late, again. She sat at the bar and ordered a butterbeer, trying to concentrate on what her brother had told her.

"Just try to act natural. Like you belong there."

She snorted. Belonged. She was a muggle in a room full of drunk wizards who would do anything for a good shag. Why she had let her brother pick the place, she still didn't know. But the pub did have one positive. The sexy blonde sitting at the other end of the bar. He had looked her up once or twice, purposely ignoring the loud banter of the witches close by. He looked out of place. His pointed features and neat hair clashing with the dark ambiance of the tavern. His long pale fingers was wrapped around a bottle of amberish liquid, which her brother identified as firewhiskey. Well, what ever it was, the blonde was downing it fast without a flinch. He had been there longer than she did and looked more sober than a new born baby. Tori was interested. He was handsome no doubt. He stood, taking his bottle with him and to her surprise sat down next to her, signalling the bartender.

"Get the girl a shot." He sounded used to giving orders, she observed. She was slightly peeved at the girl reference. She had just turned nineteen. He didn't look that old himself. Early twenties at most.

He turned to her, his shocking grey eyes surprising her.

"What's your name?" She sat straighter, remembering what her brother had said. She needed to act natural, whatever that meant in the wizarding world.

"Torince." Came her short reply. The man smirked. He looked her up and down, his eyes brightening with approval.

"Nice to meet you." She shifted uncomfortably. Sure she had gotten looks while she was in school, but the way this man was staring at her was extremely unnerving. It was as if he could see right through her. Burn her. He had that air of superiority around him that caused her to hesitate. She would have to watch her step around her. This man she was dealing with looked like he knew what he wanted and got it.

"Same," she responded, taking a sip of her drink.

"You're not from around here are you?" She turned to him.

"What makes you think that?" she asked. His smirk grew, never reaching his eyes.

"I know these things..." She gave him a confused look, but decided not to speak. He continued.

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this? You stand out." She smiled.

"I could say the same about you." The man didn't return the smile. He had stiffened up, distracted something at the door. Tori turned slightly, sighting the reason for his sudden state. Entering through the door were two men. One with fiery red hair and the other with jet black hair. Both were in black, like the man beside her. The blonde, however, didn't seem to like their pressence, his eyes focused on them intensely. Tori frowned.

"Friends of yours?" The man shook his head.

"More like unwanted aquaintences." Unfortuatley for the blonde, the two spotted him and started over. The raven head spoke first.

"You're not supposed to be here, Malfoy." The man, Malfoy, stood, his tall frame passing the speaker. He wasn't as tall as the redhead though.

"Since when, Potter?" The redhead stepped forward.

"Since two days ago. Deatheaters aren't allowed around these areas, in case you didn't know." Malfoy sneered, stepping up to the redhead.

"I'd watch my step. Your little mudblood girlfriend isn't as protected as you think. She could have an accident." With that he gathered his cloak and moved to leave. As he left, he handed a piece of paper to Tori. Then he disappeared.

---------------------------

Tori chuckled cynically. She should have known then that Draco was trouble. But she went against her better judgement and met him again. Tori remembered when he finally realized she was a muggle... She closed her eyes, the painful memory coming all to clear. It had started out as an innocent comment...

-------------

"Draco," she moaned, pushing him off of her. He ignored her, diving back for her exposed neck. His hands explored her body, greedily taking in every curve and dip. He started to unbutton her shirt, pulling it off quickly and starting on her pants. She groaned, his teeth sinking into her skin. The room became stifilingly hot, the passion growing as Tori started loosing track of reality. That is, until her bra strap snapped open. She gasped, only to be recieved by a gurtal sound at the back of Draco's throat. She wiggled slightly, finally pulling away from him.

"Draco, stop," she whispered, pulling herself from under him. She fumbled with her bra, her hands trembling nervously. She moved to the end of the bed, extremely uncomfortable. Draco groaned. This was the fourth time she had done this since they had started dating. It was starting to piss him off. Draco wasn't used to this type of behavior, seeing as in school he usually got a girl to do what he wanted. Tori was starting to become a problem.

"Dammit, Tori. What the hell is it now?" She rubbed her arm nervously, avoiding eye contact.

"This isn't me, Draco... I'm not that type of girl." Draco grabbed his shirt, rolling his eyes impatiently. He stood up.

"Well, I'm not this type of guy, Tori. I'm not the one to let someone dictate what I can and cannot do." Tori frowned, standing up to face him.

"Well, excuse me! It's not my fault my parents actually planted some morals into me." Draco couldn't help but smirk.

"What? Your parents couldn't use a wand to help them in they're love lives that they had to tell you to wait?" Tori crossed her arms, shifting her weight to one foot.

"Actually, my parent's didn't use wands." Draco was about to say something when he froze all of a sudden. He turned to face her, his stormy eyes intense.

"What did you just say?" Tori rolled her eyes, snatching up her clothes she stormed out of the room.

"I'm not talking to you, right now," she muttered. Draco's pale hand took a vice like hold on her arm. She flinched as she was whirled around, facing his furious eyes.

"You're muggleborn?" She wrenched herself out of his fierce grasp, glaring at him.

"No. I'm a muggle. My brother's the wizard." Draco just stared at her, his eyes glazing over. He stepped back, grabbing onto the doorpost.

"A muggle..." came his faint voice. Tori observed him with slight fear. Why was he acting like that?

"Get out..." Tori jerked.

"What?" she asked. He looked up at her, anger in his eyes.

"Get out." Tori just stared at him. What happened next wood always be in her memory. He grabbed her by the arm and flung her down the hall.

"Draco!" she screamed in horror as he continued his attack, grabbing her and dragging her down the stairs. He pulled her down the long dark corridors, ignoring her protests as she struggled to be free. His eyes were dancing with hatred as he flung her into the wall, glaring at her. She stared up at him, utter fear radiating in his eyes. He pulled out his wand. Her eyes widened. She screamed in pain as the curse was sent, no emotion showing through the icy surface. She lay there crumpled in the manor foyer. He grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground so that she was level with him. Her feet kicked out weakly, her strength lost.

"If I catch you anywhere in the wizarding world again, I will personally get rid of you." She clawed meekly at his grip on her neck, tears streaming down her face as she struggled to maintain conciousness.

"Draco... Draco please..." came her faint voice. He stared at her for a moment then the enormity of what he had done hit him. He fell back, letting her go. She dropped to the ground, gasping franticly. She pressed herself against the wall, watching in terror as Draco stumbled back, eyes on her. He gazed on her for a minute then regained what little composure he could muster. It wasn't much. His breathing was labored as he turned away from her, pacing the room like a crazed animal. She just lay there, watching him carefully as she tried to grasp what had just happened. She closed her eyes, trying to catch her breath.

When she opened her eyes, she yelped. Draco had moved over to her, his tembling hand held out to help her up. She gazed up at him, absolute fear in her eyes. She didn't trust him anymore. Draco waited with the little patience he had and she finally took his hand. Standing up on shaky legs, she wouldn't look him in the eyes. She jerked away when his fingers caressed her cheek.

"Look at me," he commanded in that deceptively calm voice. Tori shook her head, tears pouring down her face.

"Look at me," he gritted out. She looked up at him out of fear. His eyes gazed over her face with no emotion. He leaned in and kissed her trembling lips. She turned her head away, his lips connecting with her cheek. He smirked at her reaction.

"You hate me don't you?" Tori remained silent. He turned and started for stairs.

"You'll be staying here for the night."

-------------------------------

That night had been the worst night of her life. She was so uncomfortable and in so much pain. Yet, she had allowed herself to go into the relationship deeper.

A knock at the door shocked her into reality. Getting up and wiping away the tears that had been shed. Walking down the stairs she went to the door. She opened it and gasped. The man on the other side smiled at her.

"Nice to finally meet my daughter in law."

A/N: I thought it would be nice for everyone to see how Draco allowed Tori into his life.

Reader of Canon FF: I guess we'll find out in the next chapter!

connieewing: Stay that way:-)

Coconut Girl: You wanted a little more background . Here you go! Tori used to be able to stand up to him, but that night ruined it all. As for making you cry, you know me to well.

Wesker888: Here's your update!

Chapter Tease:

"Draco run!" Hermione screamed, struggling to be free. Draco started to run in the direction of the two when he saw a flash of light. He ducked and heard Hermione scream.

"RON!" Draco turned to see the man fall to the ground. Hermione continued to struggle, tears pouring down her face. "NO!"

I know it's short, but any longert and it would give away everything!
