So I realized that I never really described Rachel in detail, so I'm going to try to put a picture of what she looks like into my profile. :-)

Also, July is going to be really busy for me, so I will try my best to get chapters up, but it will definitely take longer than usual. Thanks to those who reviewed! I love reading what you have to say.

Don't own HP!

Chapter 17- Christmas Break

The day to leave for winter holiday came quickly. Everything was set. Narcissa would be picking us up at the station.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked entering Draco's room. I found him still asleep as usual. The late nights with Daddy made it hard for him to get up in the mornings. "Merlin Draco! You're not even packed," I shook my head throwing things in his trunk. I yanked the covers off him as I passed his bed.

"I'm up," he said groggily.

"Sure you are. Get dressed. We're leaving in an hour." He got up and shuffled to the bathroom.

"Mother is picking us up right?" he asked still half asleep.

"Yes. We're going to your house first. If the ministry sees me leaving by myself, they'll be more suspicious than they already are," I said closing Draco's trunk in the process. We walked up to the entrance hall where the other students leaving for holiday were.

The train ride to King's Cross Station was uneventful. Narcissa greeted us when we got off in London. "Rachel, I'm so glad you could stay with us over the holidays," she said rather loudly. I could see the Weasleys staring at me suspiciously.

I smirked at her brilliance, "It's my pleasure Mrs. Malfoy. It will be nice to spend the holidays with you family seeing as I have none."

"Shall we ladies," Draco said offering an arm to the both of us as we got to the apparition point.

Malfoy Manor was the same as I remembered from my childhood. The house elves came to take our belongings as soon as we set foot in the house.

"Draco, why don't you show Rachel to her room," Narcissa said to her son then turned to me. "The room you normally stay in is being renovated. I hope you like the new one," she said sweetly.

"Sure. Come on Rae," Draco said trudging up the stairs. He led me up the stairs and down a few hallways. "Here," he said pointing to a door then turning to the opposite side of the hallway, opening the door, and closing it again leaving me in the hall alone. ~He must be really tired.~ I opened the door to the room indicated as mine. It was lavish with a king size bed and its own bathroom.

"Only the best for our Princess," said a voice from the doorway.

"It's wonderful. Thank you Lucius," I said.

"Dinner will be at 6:30. You're father will be joining us. Tell Draco," he said and left. I looked at the clock: 4:30-way too early to get ready. I went to find Draco. I crossed the hall to the door I saw him go through and knocked. When I didn't hear anything, I opened the door to see Draco lying on his bed asleep. ~He never seems to get enough sleep lately.~ I crept over to the bed. He looked peaceful. I lay down next to him and just watched him for a while. About fifteen minutes later, he awoke.

"I could get used to this," he said with a sigh.

"Get used to what?"

"Waking up with a beautiful woman in my bed."

I rolled my eyes at his cheesiness. "Come on, Malfoy, I was just bored. Dinner's not 'till 6:30 and it's barely five now."

"Oh. Do you like your room?" he asked turning his head toward me. I did the same.

"It's big. Close to mine at home."

"Good. I tried to describe it to mother, but you know how she is."

"That was sweet of you Drake," I said sitting up. "I guess I better get ready. Daddy's gonna be here for dinner."

"Oh," Draco said looking nervous.

"Don't worry. We've almost got the attack planned. We don't have to formally present it until after Christmas." He seemed to relax a bit at that. I kissed his cheek and went to my room to change.

[x]

Twenty minutes later, Draco was knocking on my door. This dinner was semi-formal so I had dressed in a green strappy dress that went to my knees and silver heels. My chocolate brown hair was curled with a thin silver headband holding it out of my face. I opened my door to find that Draco had chosen attire similar to mine- black slacks with a green button-up shirt and silver/grayish tie. I chuckled at this.

"Oh shut up Rae. It's not like we tried it."

"Not what your mother will say."

"Let's go before we're late."

"Yeah. Daddy will kill us."

Sure enough, as soon as we got to the dining room, Narcissa was fussing over how cute we looked together. Dinner was quite uneventful. Daddy asked how the planning was going and Narcissa prattled on about plans for the upcoming ball. Draco and I spent the next three days making sure the plan for the attack was perfect and presentable for Daddy. Soon, I was getting ready for the Christmas ball. I had chosen a red halter dress for the occasion. I accented the dress with emerald jewelry and green hair extensions- very festive. I could get away with stuff like this because Daddy wouldn't be at this party. Draco picked me up from my room at 6:00 sharp. I had to put my finger under his chin to close his open mouth.

"Form words Malfoy," I said. "It is unbecoming to gape at me like a fish."

"You look great Rae."

"You don't look so bad yourself."

The ball was okay. A lot of dancing and small talk with old people. I had gone to get a drink while Draco spoke with some of my father's associates when I heard a voice that made me cringe, "Where's daddy tonight Rachel? Haven't seen him."

I closed my eyes then opened them again hoping it was just a figment of my imagination. It wasn't. "What are you doing here De Love?"

"Just trying to get my name in with the higher ups. You didn't answer my question," he stated frowning.

"Bloody hell, you cant even let it alone on Christmas! My father is d-e-a-d dead. Why can't you just leave me alone?" Thankfully, Draco heard the end of my little outburst and came to my rescue.

"If I were you, I'd do as the lady says. Come on Rae, let's go." When we were out of earshot he added, "We're going to have to take care of that guy soon." We exited the ballroom and I sighed.

"Thank you."

"No problem. The real party is upstairs anyway."

"Really?"

"You know it. The gang's all here." He said with a smirk.

"Great. I need to blow off some steam."

"We've got just the thing…"

An hour and four bottles of Firewhiskey later, we were all laughing in Draco's room. It was about his time when Spencer and his date, Peyton, snuck out to find one of the many rooms in the large manor. Jade and Emma soon followed. That left Draco and me, and Blaize and his date Sara. I actually, kind of, like Sara. She's good for Blaize. Whatever Draco and Blaize had said made Blaize get up and whisper something in Sara's ear.

"Well, I think we're going to turn in for the night," she said looking at Blaize with a certain fire in her eyes.

"Later," I said smirking.

"And then there were two," Draco said looking at me.

"Yes there was," I said giggling. Did I mention that Firewhiskey makes me do stupid things?

"Did you have a good time?" he asked me.

"This was great Drake."

"Why did you stay? You could have just went to your room or left with the others."

"Well," I started, "I kind of, maybe, like you more than I originally planned."

He raised an eyebrow, "How much more?"

"Shut up and kiss me Malfoy." It wasn't just the Firewhiskey talking. I grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him toward me.

"Rae, maybe we…" Draco started.

"I'm here and I'm saying yes. Are you going to argue with me?"

"No," he said and pulled me in for another passion-filled kiss. Our lips stayed connected as Draco unzipped my dress and let it fall to the floor.

"Mr. Malfoy, I do believe you're overdressed," I said as I unbuttoned his shirt. He had his pants off in a flash. I pulled him closer to me knotting my hands in his hair. Then the frenzy began. We couldn't get close enough to each other. He swept me up and took me to the bed and laid me down gently. I watched as he crawled onto the bed slowly. We continued to kiss; every now and then Draco would bite my neck. He was driving me crazy!

"Stop teasing," I groaned as the last of our clothing disappeared.

"Merlin, I love you Rae," he said before he quickly sheathed himself in my warmth. I gasped. It had been a while since I'd done anything. His body stilled for fear he had hurt me or that I'd changed my mind. I just leaned as close as I could to him and kissed him then looked into his eyes- those intense blue eyes. "I love you," he said again. My eyes closed and a breathy moan escaped my swollen lips. I arched into him as his pace increased but soon it was all too slow and gentle.

"Please…faster…harder…" The last word had barely left my lips when he began slamming into me, rocking my body into the mattress and using it for added momentum. Our sweat slick bodies moving in rhythm, his lips covering every part of my body he could reach. "OH!!!! D-D-DRACO!!" My body clamped down around his quivering member, milking him and bringing him to his own peak.

We lay there for a while catching our breaths. Finally he looked at me, "Be my girlfriend Rae."

"Sure. Why not?" I said. Then, as an afterthought, I added, "Daddy's gonna piss." Be both busted out laughing and proceeded to have another go.

[x]

The next morning, I woke up feeling uncharacteristically content. Today was the day we were supposed to present our plan to Daddy at Riddle Mansion. I got up, wrapped a sheet around myself, and went across the hall to find our parchment and presentable clothes. When I came back Draco was awake. "I thought you'd left," he said.

"We have to go to Daddy's today. I figured I'd let you sleep while I put the finishing touches on the plan," I said crawling back in bed with the parchment in hand. I kissed Draco and pushed him so he was lying down...I was going to use his stomach as a table. "I also didn't forget what I told you last night, but we should probably not tell Daddy everything we did."

"Agreed," he laughed and moved the parchment so he could get to me.

An hour later, we were rushing to get ready. "Shit, Shit, Shit. Drake, we're gonna be late. We can't be late!" I exclaimed throwing on my clothes.

"Calm down Rae. Use your wand," he said doing the same. Once we were ready, we went downstairs to the entrance hall- the manor was charmed so that only Malfoys could apparate into the manor and only into the entrance hall. I took Draco's arm and we apparated to Riddle Mansion with a loud pop.

We walked to the study to find Daddy. I knocked on the door. "Enter." I opened the door to find Daddy finishing up with a prisoner. He sent him back to the dungeon. "If I'm impressed with your plan, I'll let you two play with the prisoners later."

I smirked. Daddy was going to love our plan. "We're going to attack the school on February 14th. No one will be expecting it to happen on Valentine's Day."

"We plan to have everyone remember the day as V-Day (Voldemort's Day)," Draco said and continued to explain the plan to Daddy.

When he finished, Daddy smiled. "It's perfect. This will be the perfect time to rise to power and force the light into hiding. I am very proud of the both of you. You make a great team."

"Thank you sir," we said together.

"Dismissed." I got up. "Draco, a word." I looked at Draco, winked and went to my room.

[x]

"You were right," Draco said as he walked into my room, "You're father is ecstatic that we're together."

"I told you there was nothing to worry about."

"Shut up and kiss me Riddle." I let him make out with me for a while then pulled away. "Let's go play with the prisoners," I said getting up. He looked disappointed. "Don't worry Loverboy, you'll still have your fun. I just like torture."

"Torture turns you on?"

"Yeah baby."

"That's hot. Let's go," he said dragging me to the dungeon.

We spent the rest of break either wrapped up in each other or training with Daddy. Soon it was time to go back to school. We were on the train January 10th talking with the gang. When school was getting close, I looked at Sara, "I'm going to change. You coming?"

"Sure." We made our way to the bathroom. "So, is the sex as good as they say?" she asked smirking- we had become pretty close friends since our boyfriends were best friends.

I laughed, "Better."

"So are you and Draco officially…"

"Together? I suppose." We changed quickly and were on our way back to the compartment. I opened the door to find Draco with his shirt off changing. I leaned to Sara and whispered, "Just one of the many reasons the Slytherin Sex God got the Dark Princess." She giggled giving us away.

"Hurry up Draco or Riddle's gonna pounce."

"Very funny Blaize," I said sitting down next to the now fully clothed Draco.

"We're here," he said looking out the window.

"Joy."

Dinner was pretty good for school food. We caught up with all the people we hadn't seen since the Christmas Ball. Soon it was time to go to the commons for the night. The train ride had made everyone tired, so we just went to our dorms. Three hours later I was still awake in my room. I got up silently and crept to Draco's dorm. I got under the covers, but woke him up in the process.

"Rae? What's wrong?" he asked concerned.

"I had a nightmare," I said trying to sound convincing.

"You don't have to make up stories to sleep with me Rae."

"Good." I snuggled up to him. I don't know why, but lately, I sleep better when I'm with Draco. I looked up to see that Draco was already asleep again. I lay my head back down. "I think I love you Drae," I whispered. I didn't see the smile spread on his face as I drifted off.
