14. The art of Seduction

The art of seduction is the darkest of all arts. It can make or it can break. It can bring happiness but it can also bring great grief or even a despair that leads to death.

After two years of seducing men, conquering them, taking them and than breaking them it seemed that the darkest of all was going to take me.

I couldn't break Draco. I just couldn't.

The day after he said that cursed word I tried. I honestly tried to ignore him, to forget about him and selecting a new pray to have fun with but my body couldn't. Every fiber seemed to know when he was around, every cell in my body felt drawn to him.

I fought hard against it but I caught myself flirting with him. Just a look during breakfast. Just a wink when we passed in the hall. A comment when the Carrow's gave me to Draco for punishment. We were playing with each other, enjoying the build up to an amazing evening of sex and play. We were compatible even in our wit.

Two weeks before Christmas we toke the most dangerous step ever. I seduced him in public, really played with him, eye-fucking and dirty talking. Most of our house-mates took it as a fight but only we knew the truth behind our words.

I had walked into him, accidentally on purpose knocking him into a wall. Making sure that I brushed my hand over his cock.

"Watch it, Weasel!" He had sneered.

"Fuck off."

"I'd rather fuck you. I have been enjoying giving you the punishment you deserve." By then my friends were all angry and upset. They had no idea, they all thought that every now and then when I had detention Draco would take me and I would come back completely a mess. They thought Draco was raping me.

After the last class of that day I headed back to the Great Hall for dinner when I was pulled into an empty classroom. Even then, my body knew who it was, I didn't even squeal or flinch.

"You tease." He growled as he roughly pushed me up against the wall. There was never a moment that I was afraid of him. I knew he was a Death Eater, I had seen his dark mark multiple times, I knew his master wanted me destroyed but Draco only wanted me. He would never ever hurt me again.

"You liked it." I growled back as I pressed my lips against his.

"Yes, but are you honestly trying to get me killed?" He asked as he ripped my shirt open.

"I have been thinking about it." I honestly admitted. Two days after that night I really had considered writing the Dark Lord or his father, telling them all about Draco's taste in woman and have him killed. I honestly considered my life would be a lot easier with Draco gone but it also would have been a lot more boring.

"You lie." He growled.

"I do not." I said as I nipped his collar bone. "I just realized that life would be very boring without you."

"Evil. And they say I'm bad." He chuckled as he pressed his still covered arousal into my hips.

"You wouldn't want me any other way." I moaned. His hands lifted up my skirt and brushed the inside of my thigh.

"No, I wouldn't. I couldn't imagine doing this to you if you were the innocent little girl I always thought you to be." He whispered as he ripped my panties off and pressed a finger into me.

"Gods, Draco." I moaned.

"Shh… I didn't cast a silencing spell."

"I don't give a damn, just fuck me." I growled.

He just laughed and vanished his clothes. I didn't need to ask him twice for it. He just lifted me up so I could wrap my legs around him and he plunged his large cock into my wetness. The most annoying thing was that nobody could fuck me like Draco, he knew how to drive me insane. He had me begging with in seconds.

I hated to admit it to myself but I could love him only for the sex.

"Ginerva?" He moaned as I reach the edge of ecstasy. "Will you… oh Merlin… please… damn you are tight … have a… fuck… Christmas dinner… with me?"

"Are you insane…" I screamed as he pushed in hard and deep.

"Room… of… Requirement…" he moaned. "Nobody… will… know…"

Even if I wanted I couldn't answer, he was pushing me over the edge hard. I tried to be as silent as possible but still I couldn't help a loud moan escaped.

Draco followed quickly, growling deep as he released his warm juices deep within me.

Completely spend we sank to the floor. Draco was holding me close to his body, something he had started to do a few days after that evening.

He had never said anything about it again. Sometimes during the sex he would say he loved me, after those moments he held me, he caressed me and placed soft sweet kisses all over me. It were things I had never imagine the Draco Malfoy being capable off but I let him, secretly enjoying the feeling of really being loved.

Since that evening things between us had changed a bit, we didn´t only have sex. We always had great sex but after that we showered together, a gift from the room, we spend hours playfully washing each other but we also talked about things and studied together in the Room of Requirement.

In the beginning we talked about simple things. Mainly the general gossip inside the school, after a week or so we touched deeper issues, family things, Slytherin versus Gryffindor things, my rebellion things and a possible future. Nothing too deep but I really got to know the real Draco Malfoy. A man that was proud of his heritage but not of the choices his parents had made. A man that was just as intrigued by the dark as I was but never truly wanted to walk that path. I honestly started to like my hours with Draco.

"Please?" He suddenly asked.

"Please what?" I asked a bit confused. I was too lost in my post-sex bliss and thoughts that I had forgotten what he had asked.

"Have dinner with me before the holidays start?"

"Draco… you know it's really dangerous. We can't be seen together."

"I know but we are already spending so much time in the Room of Requirement, let me have my way with it and make it a nice Christmas dinner."

His eyes were pleading with me and I realized that he considered it a possibility that it could be our last moment together. During the holidays he would return home where could easily get killed. I knew he had been working hard on his Occlumency but there was no guarantying that it would be good enough.

"Okay. I'll have dinner with you. I promise I'll behave and make it through dinner without attacking you or begging you for sex."

I was delighted that she finally gave into an evening with me. Before I asked her I had planned it all out, making sure we would be safe. I had picked the evening on which I knew the Carrow's and Snape would leave the school for a meeting with him. They would leave the discipline of the school to me and I would lead the Squad. The only thing I had to do is take the last round and send the rest of the Squad to the dorms.

I trusted Ginerva to get around the castle unseen. I hadn't figured out how she exactly did it but she was never caught not even on the evenings when I invited her in my room. She just slithered across the castle like a snake. His snake was just as silent and invisible. I shivered as I thought about that, it was the worst thing ever to have him living in your house.

"Draco!" Somebody yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"Dammit, Draco. Pay attention. I'm not giving up my free time for nothing here!" Blaise yelled at me.

"Oh, yes. Sorry, I got a bit lost in my thoughts."

"I know, I saw. Pull yourself together."

I sighed knowing he was right. I had to regain some sort of control over my mind and emotions before Christmas, maybe planning this dinner wasn't such a good idea. Ginerva had stirred up a lot of emotions I didn't even knew existed and I had a hard time locking them away.

The Hogwarts train would leave in three days, tonight after I met with Severus and finished my rounds I would have my dinner with Ginerva and after that I would have to face him. I worked hard to make sure I would survive that meeting but I wasn't sure it was going to be enough.

"If you are like this when he wishes to meet you, you'll be dead within seconds." Blaise spat.

"I know, Blaise, I know…"

"Look, go and get to your meeting with the Carrow's and Snape done with, I'll meet you at the entrance hall for our rounds. Tomorrow we will continue working on your mental defenses." Blaise said. He had been helping me with my Occlumency for a while now. I had never known he was so good at it but he really helped me a lot, more than Bella had.

"Okay. I promise tomorrow we will make it work." I nodded and turning to take a shower. I heard him mutter something but I didn't try to understand. I knew the risks that were laying just ahead. I knew that I had to pull up the Draco Mafloy attitude soon in order to survive. I was sure I could do it, after tonight the Draco everybody knows would reappear. There would never ever be a doubt again in my allegiance. Only Ginerva would know the truth about me.

After a quick shower I dressed in the all black outfit of the Inquisitorial squad and made my way to the headmaster's office.

"Come in." Echoed from inside. I softly opened the door and saw that the Carrow's weren't there yet.

"Ah, Draco. Come in. Amycus and Alecto are already gone, they were requested to arrive before to meeting start, the dark Lord wishes to speak with them in private."

"That's their luck." I shrugged.

"I think I should tell you what that meeting is about." Snape slowly stated. I met his eye and cleared my mind as good as possible. "Ah, you are getting better at it." Snape sneered. "Good, you will need it."

"How do you mean?" I drawled.

"Alecto and Amycus are talking to the Dark Lord about your girl."

"I don't have a girl and I sure hope you don't mean Pansy." I said as lazily as possible. On the outside I knew I looked cool and calculated but inside I was cursing and spitting fire.

"You know perfectly well who I mean. Maybe Amycus and Alecto are blind but I know everything that is happening inside this castle. I know of the existence of the Room of Requirement, I know what happens there almost every evening."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Severus." I yawned.

"Dammit, Draco! I'm not playing games with you!" Severus growled. "Your mother asked me only one thing when you were born. One thing and that was to keep you safe, to make sure that what ever happened you could have a happy life and you are making very hard for me to keep that promise."

"I don't need you to make me happy." I snarled.

"Oh, yes you do, if it wasn't for me that feisty redhead you so actively fuck would have been Nagini's dinner a long time ago. If it wasn't for me, the Dark Lord would have had her locked up in the manor after Halloween. He doesn't like her attitude very much and to have her would be a way to get to Mr. Potter but I told him that you would take care of her. I pleaded with him to trust you. I'm risking my life for you."

I honestly didn't know what to say. I was shocked that he knew about me and Ginerva, Blaise had warned me about that so I couldn't be very surprised. I was even more shocked by the fact that Severus Snape, the most trusted Death Eater would lie to the Dark Lord, for me.

"So, what are Amycus and Alecto discussing with him tonight if you talked him out of kidnapping Ginerva?" I couldn't help but ask.

"The Dark Lord still wants information on Mr. Potter, he thinks the Weasley's are the key to him. Ginerva, is the best link, he still wants her."

I couldn't help but chuckle at that idea.

"You think it funny?" Severus sneered.

"That he wants her? No, she's mine for now. Besides that I´m pretty sure she won´t have any information on the scarhead but the image of Ginerva facing him is funny. I think he will have his work cut out for him with her. She might even get to him."

"She sure made a puddle of goo out of you." Severus half snarled half chuckled.

"She's deathly." I shrugged.

"I can see that!" Severus snarled again. "I know… Draco, I know. I know she has mastered the darkest art."

"How do you know, has she ever…" the thought popped in my head and the words were out in a second. I suddenly wondered if teachers had been victims of Ginerva as well. I couldn't believe she would even try and seduce teachers. Most of them were too old…except for Severus.

"I know everything that is going on in this castle, Draco, never forget that." He said, to me he looked a bit uneasy. He turned his back to me and glanced at the picture of the muggle-hero. The old headmaster was smiling down at us, his face was smug with knowledge.

"Now, make sure that the castle is under control tonight. As the head of the Squad you are in charge tonight, make sure that I won't have to report any problems." Severus said coldly. I was sure that I wouldn't get an answer to my sudden thoughts from him but I was sure Ginerva would be willing to spill.

I nodded and turned back to the door.

"Draco. Please make sure that after tonight you practice your Occlumency seriously. He will want to know. Especially about her, everything, her behavior and specifically her punishments and detentions."

I blanched, swallowed and nodded carefully.

The whole evening during my rounds I thought about Severus's words. True he had never done anything to harm me, he had always taken care of me, made sure I was safe. He even killed for me when I couldn't.

I always considered him one of the most trust worthy persons in my life, I knew last year I hadn't acted like that but Severus was my support where my own father failed me. That's why I couldn't find it in me to be angry or upset over his knowledge of my relationship, if you can call it that, with Ginerva.

What disturbed me most was that I realized that Severus wasn't the Dark Lord's most loyal supporter. It was very clear that when it came to it, Severus would side against the Dark Lord.

And now I knew it… which meant that not only could I get myself killed next week, if I failed to be perfect at Occlumency I could get Severus killed as well.

Suddenly his warning had a whole new meaning.
