Okayyy :) Chapter 5. Thanks for the reviews everyone!
Long Live Harry Potter!
Hermione and Draco stood in their common room, looking at the door and not saying anything. They were both surprised by Dumbledore's sudden and unexpected visit. Hermione knew that Dumbledore was right. She and Draco were role models. If they couldn't get along, how could they expect the rest of the students to?
'Getting along is easier said than done.' Hermione thought to herself. 'Malfoy is a dick.' She hated to be negative, but it was their first official day at Hogwarts, and she and Draco were already at each other's necks. Hermione couldn't even imagine how they were going to make it through a whole school term together. It was clear to both Hermione and Draco that there was a lot of sexual tension between the two of them.
"This is going to be a hard year Granger." Draco said finally breaking the silence. "It's not like it was before between us. We use to just hate each other. Now we are extremely attracted to each other, but still can't stand being near each other."
"Who said I was attracted to you?"
"You did, last night." Draco answered. Hermione smiled lightly.
"I did say that, didn't I?" Hermione tucked her hair behind her ears. "Look, I am going to try and be the bigger person. I don't like you, and I am really pissed about what you said to me earlier, but we have no choice but to at the very least be civil. So as long as you can try and be nice, I will also."
Draco nodded his head in agreement and returned to their room. He was still furious that Hermione didn't tell him, her and Harry were dating. He wasn't even sure why he was so upset about it. It wasn't like he wanted to date her. All he knew was that it wasn't right for her not to have said anything.
Suddenly Draco heard a soft tapping at the window. It was a black owl. Draco immediately recognized it as his father's owl, and opened the window. Draco pulled the small white piece of paper away from the owl.
Draco,
Come home now. There are things we need to take care of. You will be back at school before the day is out.
Your Father
Draco sighed, knowing that today was going to be a long day, and then used the fireplace to return to his home, the Malfoy Manor. He was almost instantly greeted by his mother Narcissa Malfoy. Her long blonde hair reached down to her waist and her blue eyes lit up at the sight of her only son. Draco and his mother had always had a close relationship. She was the only person in his life that was trying to steer in the right direction.
"Draco, darling, you're home again so soon. It is wonderful to see you." Narcissa said pulling Draco into a hug.
"It's good to see you too mum." Draco said as he kissed her on the cheek. "Where is father at?"
"Oh, he's in the study with Voldy."
"Mum, Lord Voldemort. Do you know what him or father would do if they heard you call him that? They would kill you." Draco was desperate to make his mother understand the consequences of her words. He couldn't bear the thought of anything ever happening to her.
"Oh, I know, I know. I just get so sick of him and your father too. Seriously Draco, Voldemort walks around like he's king of something. He's really just a wacko with mommy and daddy issues." Narcissa smiled as she said this. Draco couldn't help but let out a light laugh. He hugged his mum one last time, and then entered his father's study. Lucius Malfoy was sitting perfectly at his chair behind his desk. His blonde hair was a sharp contrast against his black robes. Voldemort stood at Lucius' side. He also had on a black robe, with a hood covering his head. They were chatting quietly.
"Draco, I'm so glad you could join us." Voldemort said in an unconvincing voice.
"Anytime, my Lord." Draco responded.
"Well Lucius, I will leave you to handle the rest of today's business with Draco at your side. I must handle other matters." With the Voldemort turned on his heel and left.
"So father, what is this important business we must attend to?" Draco asked as his father rose from his chair. Lucius didn't respond instead, he just ushered Draco with his finger to follow him. They exited the study and made their way down to the dungeons under the Manor.
"Draco, Lord Voldemort and I have been discussing matters concerning you." Lucius said as they walked down a long stone corridor.
"What type of matters?"
"You have yet to see our work first hand. We need to start preparing you, so here and there you will accompany me on work related business. We won't have you doing any dirty work just yet though. This is just to get you accustomed to our way of life."
"Okay father, sounds good." Though Draco was nervous about the things he would encounter with his father, he was happy that his father was actually including him in something.
"We have set a date for your ceremony also. You will become a Death Eater three months from today."
"But I thought that we were waiting until after I finished school." Draco said trying to sound calm. He wanted to be a part of his father's life, but he was not ready to become a Death Eater.
"Plans changed Draco. Things are moving along faster than anticipated." They soon arrived in front of a cell. There was a man inside, chained to the wall. He looked as though he had been badly beaten for several days.
"Draco, this man here is Riley Revels." Lucius said pointing to the man as they entered the cell. "He works for the Ministry, and he has yet to produce any valuable information. Is there anything you would like to tell us Mr. Revels?
"I will not betray my oath." The man responded weakly. Lucius frowned. Draco had a pit in his stomach the size of Texas. He did not want to see what was about to happen.
"Then so be it. Let's not prolong the inevitable. Any last words?"
"Long live Harry Potter." The man said as he spat blood onto the floor.
"Avada Kadavra." Lucius yelled. The man's body fell limp. Draco's eyes watched him the entire time. He had never before in his life seen someone be murdered. It was much more difficult to bear than he'd imagined.
"Don't look so shocked son. This is something you are going to have to get use to. Eventually this is what you are going to be doing." Lucius said when he noticed the look on Draco's face. "Now go back to Hogwarts. I will owl you again when I want you to return."
-Meanwhile-
Hermione made her way to the Gryffindor Common Room. She was happy she was going to see her boyfriend, especially after the fight they had last night. She wanted to make things right. Upon entering the common room she saw Harry sitting on the couch. He was wearing a crisp white polo and a pair of dark denim jeans. Hermione silently admitted to herself how good he looked.
"Hey Hermione, I was wondering when you were going to come see me." Harry said as he stood from the couch, and kissed her lightly on the lips. Hermione smiled.
"So, you're not mad at me about last night?" Hermione asked.
"No, I understand. I overreacted a little. But no guy ever wants his girl friend to call him by some other guy's name. But you're stressed right now, and I know it was an accident."
"It was Harry, and I am so sorry still." Hermione responded. Harry nodded in an understanding way.
"So how was your night with Malfoy?" Harry asked.
"What do you mean my night with Malfoy?" Hermione said defensively, as if Harry knew about what occurred the night before.
"I just wanted to know how things went since you two are living together. Don't bite my head off."
"Oh I thought you were implying that something happened between Malfoy and me."
"Well did something happen?"
"God no! You know that you're the only guy that I want." Hermione said positioning herself so she was straddling Harry. Her hands were planted firmly at Harry's waist as she leaned in and kissed him very lightly on the lips. Before she could completely pull away, Harry captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
"Let's take this up to my room and get a little more intimate." Harry said breaking away from the kiss. Hermione wasn't sure exactly what intimate meant to Harry but she was hoping it didn't mean sex. She wasn't sure if she was ready for that yet. But wanting to please Harry she nodded her head and followed him upstairs.
Once upstairs Harry pushed Hermione onto his bed and climbed on top of her. As he went to pull her shirt over her head, Hermione panicked and pushed him off of her.
"Whoa, Hermione what's wrong?
"Don't you think we should talk first?" Hermione said.
"Talk about what?"
"Well you know, about sex. I mean like what's your views on it and how many times have you done it. Stuff like that."
"Uh, ok. Way to ruin the moment." Harry mumbled under his breath, but before Hermione could comment on his last statement he began talking again. "Well I've had sex with about four different girls." Hermione give Harry an odd look but he continued.
"What can I say Hermione, I like to be satisfied. Anyways, the girls I've been with have been excellent in bed. So it's always been an enjoyable experience. And, what else, Oh yea I hate having sex with virgins. It's kind of uncomfortable and the girl seems to think that we'll be together for ever since I took her virginity." Harry again paused for a moment. "Whoa, you're not a virgin are you? Hermione, I'm sorry. I wasn't speaking about you. I was speaking about virgins in general. You know that I would make an exception for you."
"Harry!" Hermione yelled as he continued to ramble on. "I am not a virgin." Hermione wasn't sure why she just lied to Harry, but she knew that she'd do anything to make him happy.
"Oh, thank god. You had me worried for a minute but now that we have all figured out what are we waiting for."
"Actually, Harry, this is going to have to wait. I have some Head business to attend to." Hermione then hurriedly got up and ran back to her room.
"Malfoy!" Hermione yelled. "Malfoy, I need to talk to you." Hermione finally realized that Draco wasn't there, so she sat down on the couch waiting for him to return. Twenty minutes had passed when Draco finally came walking from the fireplace. Hermione stood up as soon as she saw him enter the room.
"Malfoy, I need to talk to you." Hermione said quickly.
"Not, now Granger. It hasn't been a good day." Draco responded as he turned to the stairs and began to walk up.
"Malfoy, please, I need your help." Draco could hear the desperation in her voice, so he turned around and walked back into the common room.
"Okay, what can I help you with Granger?" Draco said with a sigh.
"I need you to teach me to have sex."
So there you have it. What did ya'll think? Review and let me know!
