Chapter 6: Sound of Silence
hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
After she had used the bathroom at the Ministry of Magic, Astoria Apparated to the Malfoy Manor. Well, she Apparated in front of the big steel gate because only the Malfoy's themselves and the Dark Lord were able to Apparate on the property itself.
Although she needed a shower, she wasn't ready to enter the Manor yet and walked over the huge grounds, hoping that the fresh air would calm her down. It didn't.
She couldn't stop the tears from running down her face and wished so much that she could just be back at Hogwarts and steal that special herb from the greenhouses with her friends which used to make them light-headed and happy. That wouldn't have saved her right now, but she would've felt better.
Back then, she would've never expected the extent of trouble she found herself currently in.
in restless dreams I walked alone
narrow streets of cobblestone
'neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
The words her father-in-law had said recently were still haunting her.
"You will never be safe, only as long as I am satisfied with you and as long as you please me."
She had really hoped that a pregnancy would save her. That her fate wouldn't depend on Lucius freaking Malfoy anymore. But didn't they need her to continue their pure bloodline?
He was so frightening, powerful, and dominant. What confused her even more than that was the fact that it turned her on, even when he threatened and hurt her.
She sat down at a bench and laid her hands on her own belly. Nothing had changed but she knew that there was this little human inside of her. Tears continued falling down her face while Astoria thought about how much screwed up the baby would be. Being born in this cruel and dangerous world, surrounded by crazy and evil people… she would probably be the only person who would really love the child.
Astoria decided that she'd do anything to protect that small, innocent human being, even if its father wasn't her husband.

In the evening, Astoria entered the Main Hall of the Malfoy Manor with trembling legs and felt like she wouldn't make it through the evening alive. The most important Deatheaters were sitting at the huge table and all eyes were on her. For the first time she was thankful that her father-in-law was protecting her from his male friends because she saw the disgusting lust in their faces, their eyes scanning her own body and felt them undressing her in their minds.
She kept her head lowered while she walked past them, avoiding looking at the head of the table at the opposite side of the room where the Dark Lord himself was sitting; Lucius Malfoy was (of course) seated right next to him. But contrary to her most interactions with her father-in-law she felt now safer with him around, even if it was caused by the other Deatheaters.
When she felt like being close enough, she got on her knees, still looking down to the floor and said: "My Lord."
when my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
that split the night
and touched the sound of silence
A cold shiver ran through her body when the Dark Lord inspected her with his snake-like eyes. It took a moment until he said: "Astoria Malfoy, finally pregnant. How pleasing to meet you." His voice didn't sound pleased, at all.
"Thank you, my Lord", replied Astoria with a trembling voice.
She heard him raising from his chair which increased her heartbeat even more. When he was standing right in front of her, he magically forced her to look at him without using his wand which sent another cold shiver through her body. The moment her scared eyes met his snake-like ones, she felt him entering her brain. It was very painful, and she couldn't move or control her thoughts in any way while he wordlessly scanned her brain for the day she got pregnant, and she was forced to see what he saw: Lucius Malfoy fucking her roughly like a whore.
Her fear and anxiety increased to a new level. The Dark Lord knew. Would he torture her? Kill her?
When he finally left her brain, she took some deep breaths and tried to ignore her headache, her eyes lowered to the floor again.
"Well," said the Dark Lord, "We should leave her with my friend Lucius to discuss the new conditions", and Disapparated.
The other Deatheaters raised wordlessly from the table and left the room – expect for Lucius Malfoy who was still sitting at his usual place.
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
no one dared
disturb the sound of silence
"You may raise now", he said when everyone had left. His voice was deep and slightly annoyed.
Astoria didn't feel like she would be able to move in any way, but she got up slowly, her whole body still trembling and took a seat at the opposite side of the table from her father-in-law who had instructed her to do so with a gesture of his hand.
"He knows", said Astoria.
Lucius snorted in disapproval. "Of course he knows."
"But why – "
He interrupted her. "Because he wanted to verify that the child is the heir of our pure bloodline. That's the only thing that matters and I've already told you."
Astoria's gaze met his one now. "Couldn't you warn me?"
Lucius' facial expression hardened. "Be careful. You are overestimating your position", he said angrily. "Don't make me repeat myself or you are going to regret it."
"Yes, Sir", said Astoria quickly and lowered her gaze.
"I don't mind putting you in a dungeon and only use you for breeding and fucking", he continued. "But if you agree that it would be better for everyone involved if things stay the way they are…"
He paused and Astoria felt tears burning in her eyes again. "Yes, please", she said in a low and scared voice. She had kind of forgotten that her father-in-law was almost as evil as the Dark Lord himself.
The Malfoy patriarch cleared his throat and grabbed a piece of paper which was lying in front of him. "Professor Snape brought your school report today and I must say, it is disappointing. Apparently, Draco didn't care when he married you, but I do."
Astoria swallowed hard and looked down at the piece of paper he had thrown in front of her. The time at Hogwarts had been the happiest time in her life because she had been free. She had enjoyed the quality time with her friends and although the teachers had officially been in charge, that had been nothing compared to the strict rules she had experienced at her home.
But what the hell had her school report to do with her current situation?
"I've been, umm, distracted…Sir", she said when her father-in-law pierced her with his eyes.
He raised an eyebrow at her to show his disbelief. "Distracted?", yelled Lucius and entered her mind, scanning her memories for her last school years. Pieces and pictures flashed painfully through Astoria's mind, showing her with her friends, how they stayed up during the nights talking… one year later how they smoked that special herb from the greenhouse at the lake… how they shared a bottle of firewhiskey and danced at the Slytherin common room… Astoria snogging with an older Slytherin boy….
When she felt him leaving her mind, the headache was overwhelming, and Astoria was breathing heavily. Having the two worlds best Legilimens enter her brain within less than an hour didn't seem to be healthy, at all.
Lucius was still angry and hissed: "You are lucky because Draco told me that you have been a virgin at your wedding night. Since my wife and Draco will be very busy it is now up to me to watch you, which is obviously more than necessary."
Astoria's wide brown eyes met his one. Why the hell did she need to be watched?
"Because", he said angrily, obviously reading her mind, "we need to make sure that you don't do anything stupid with our heir inside of you. Since I must work, I decided that you may assist me, although I doubt that you're even able to, considering your disappointing graduation."
"Until the childbirth?", asked Astoria. She didn't dare to ask what he would expect her to do. She had heard rumors about one of his female assistants after another leaving the job quickly – either because they weren't able to stand his company or because he dismissed them.
Lucius laughed cruelly. "You don't really think I would leave the education of my heir to a girl with an average graduation, do you?!... besides, what do you even do all day?"
Tears were now dripping down Astoria's beautiful face because this was becoming much worse than she had expected it to be. She cleared her throat and tried not to sound too disappointed when she said: "I, umm, read, meet my friends…"
"Cancelled", snapped Lucius.
She didn't dare to protest. "… I do sports on the grounds…"
"I know", replied Lucius firmly. He clearly remembered the times when he had watched her through the windows running over the grounds and doing her gymnastics and how he had pictured all the things he wanted to do to her. Those times were over now. "You may continue doing sports, but you are going to discuss the details with a doctor. You are going to have weekly appointments with one of our special healers."
Astoria nodded. At least she'd have something left…
"Pathetic", hissed her father-in-law. "At least you are … presentable." That was a huge understatement, but he didn't want to increase her self-confidence.
Suddenly, Lucius' facial expression changed from a business-like to an obscene one. He leaned back in his chair, watched his daughter-in-law intensely and said: "I'll meet you at your room in 10 minutes."
Astoria swallowed hard. This had never happened before, and she wondered what his intensions were while she got up and slowly left the Main Hall with trembling legs.
but my words, like silent raindrops, fell
and echoed in the wells of silence
After she had used the bathroom at her and Draco's apartment at the Manor and entered the bedroom, she was surprised that the Malfoy patriarch was already there.
He was standing in the middle of the big bedroom with his usual dark clothes and straightened blonde hair; his arms were casually resting on his cane with the silver snakehead in front of him.
"Come closer", he instructed impatiently because Astoria had stopped her movements and was standing in the doorframe of the bathroom. She followed his order and made a few trembling steps towards him, feeling as if she knew where this was going to lead. Did he really want to do this here, in her and Draco's bedroom?
"Strip", was his next command. He hadn't moved yet.
Astoria lowered her gaze and slowly removed her clothes, knowing that he wouldn't tolerate any resistance… or any clothes left on her body. She unclasped her bra with trembling fingers before she stepped out of her panties and was now standing in front of him completely naked, feeling insecure and uncomfortable. Actually, she never really knew what would happen because he would always come up with new, wicked and dirty ideas… things she would've never imagined were possible.
Still not moving a single inch, Lucius continued: "Go to the bed and lay down on your back."
Obviously, he was intending to use his son's bed. Being out of options she obeyed, her whole body tensed in fear and a growing, disturbing arousal. As soon as Astoria laid in the middle of the king-sized bed, Lucius took his wand out of the cane and with a simple flick of it, Astoria was suddenly blindfolded and a pair of handcuffs fixated her wrists to the upper bedframe. She instinctively pulled at the bonds, but they didn't allow any further movement which caused panic to rush through her veins.
The blindfold made it impossible for her to see the evil expression on her father-in-law's face while he looked at her like a predator eyeing his prey; she just heard the sound of his wand being put back inside of the cane.
Astoria's whole body tensed up even more when she heard him coming closer. Being blindfolded seemed to intensify every sound; besides, it was more than frightening because she knew that she was completely at his mercy.
Lucius knew and he was enjoying this too much already. He had wanted to tie her up like this for a long time; the chances had been rare in the past, but her pregnancy had increased his power immensely. Seeing her perfect, naked body like this and knowing that he could do anything to her awakened his erection; but he did not intend to rush through this.
The whole body of the young witch twitched in surprise and fear when she felt that something made contact with her sensitive skin right between her breasts. It took a moment until she realized that the object must've been his cane which he slightly brushed over each of her breasts and then down her belly.
"You have been asking yourself whether I've put some kind of magic on you to make you… willing", said Lucius in a low, threatening tone while he slapped each of her inner things with his cane which caused Astoria to slightly move her legs a few inches apart. "I have not. This is right where you are supposed to be, and I want you to stop fighting against it. This is what you are", he continued and underlined his words by moving the cane slightly through the wet folds between her legs.
She instinctively moved her hips at the contact, feeling ashamed and aroused at the same time which caused the wizard to smile dirtily. "See? Wet for me, and so damn impatient."
He removed the cane and slapped each of her inner things again with it, this time way harder than before, which caused Astoria to whimper and move her legs together.
"Keep your legs apart", he commanded harshly.
Astoria's breaths were loud and heavy while she obeyed and expected to be hurt, but then assumed that he must've sat down on the bed because she felt the movement of the mattress.
Lucius Malfoy spread her labia expertly with two fingers of his left hand and let the index finger of his right hand slowly slide over her damp slit which caused Astoria to press her hips into the mattress. Then he caressed the small bundle of nerves, slowly and with a light pressure. Astoria moaned without really wanting to while he continued rubbing slightly, adding a second finger, and intensifying the pressure.
"Does that feel good?", he asked devilishly.
"Yes", answered Astoria while her breaths were growing louder.
"Hmm", replied Lucius and suddenly stopped the movements of his right hand while he was still spreading her folds with his left hand. "I don't think that you deserve to come, my dear."
Astoria didn't move, feeling the air on her spread cunt and missing his fingers rubbing expertly on her nerves. What the hell was wrong with her body? Why did she want the evil things he did to her?
"You need to agree to my terms, first", he continued while he caressed the skin around her wet and exposed heat which almost drove Astoria crazy. "I expect absolute obedience from you in all contexts."
Astoria's mind screamed to resist but she also felt her genitals uncomfortably pulsating in need. "I will", she answered and was even more surprised about it than he was.
Lucius grinned cruelly and moved his right hand to her breasts to knead each of them forcefully. "I also expect you to answer appropriately", he said and pulled on each of her nipples which caused his daughter-in-law to scream out and arch her back in pain.
She swallowed hard before she said: "I will obey, Sir."
"Very well", answered her father-in-law and returned his hand to her clit, this time not gently; he rubbed his whole hand forcefully and with an unexpected pressure above it with a very fast speed.
Astoria moaned out loudly and felt a wave of pleasure washing over her until she was so close to having an orgasm… but that was the moment he stopped his movements and caused Astoria to groan unintentionally out in frustration.
"Ah, ah. We are not finished yet", said Lucius while he also removed his left hand from her and opened his trousers because they felt too tight for his grown erection. "Tell me what you want."
He wasn't able to see that Astoria rolled her eyes under the blindfold. Seriously?, she thought, being frustrated as hell.
"Already disobeying?", hissed Lucius because he was still waiting for her to answer and slightly slapped her face with his flat hand while he positioned himself between her legs, pushing them further apart.
"No…Sir", answered Astoria. She knew that there was no chance to escape, anyway and he would always win this kind of game. "I want to…come."
"More specific", said her father-in-law, grabbed one of her legs and laid it on his own shoulder while he pushed her other leg further away. Then he slightly slid his erection through her wet folds.
Astoria moaned at the contact. His previous actions and being blindfolded were making her very sensitive and she felt like she wouldn't endure the denial of an orgasm any longer which caused her to say: "I want your cock."
"That is not enough, my dear", said Lucius, knowing exactly what he was doing to her, slowly guiding his erection over her clit and her vaginal entry. "I expect you to beg for it."
She pulled at her bonds, knowing that it wouldn't have any effect on her situation. Why the hell was he being so cruel?
"Please", she said then, being almost sure that she had indeed gone mad. "Please fuck me."
Astoria didn't even have time to blush because he suddenly entered his whole length into her. She screamed out in pain and pleasure… it was feeling so good as he was finally filling her up, although the position he was forcing her in was kind of uncomfortable. It allowed him to fuck her very deep and in an angle which made his cock hit her g-spot with every forceful thrust.
"This is finally a good behavior", said Lucius while he was slamming his dick disrespectfully into her with a fast speed, enjoying the view of his beautiful daughter-in-law being bound, helpless and naked.
It didn't take a long time until he felt her inner muscles tightening and her whole body shaking while she was screaming out loudly and arching her back as she finally came. "Please", she said when he continued his actions. "Please, I can't…"
"I decide what you can endure", yelled Lucius angrily and fucked her even harder.
He sent her over the edge once more before he let his own orgasm wash over him.
"Have you ever come that hard?", he asked while he pulled his dick out of her cunt, watching his seed dripping on the mattress.
Astoria's breaths were still heavy, and her body was still shaking. "No, Sir", she answered honestly. She couldn't see his satisfied facial expression while he put his clothes back on; then he slightly swung his wand once more to remove the bonds and the blindfold from her.
Astoria instantly touched her hurting wrists which showed marks from the strong rope that had been there just a second ago and avoided to look at her father-in-law. Her genitals were still uncomfortably pulsating and felt kind of sore, but she had indeed never had such an intense orgasm, not even with him. What the hell had she done? What the hell had he done to her?
"Your new job is going to start on Monday", said Lucius and pulled her out of her thoughts. "I expect you to wear presentable clothes. Oh, and no underwear."
That was the moment Astoria unintentionally lifted her gaze to look at him. That was not how she had expected to show up at the Ministry of Magic…
He came closer and hardly grabbed her jaw like he always did to show his dominance. "And I expect you to obey, do you understand me? Believe me, you don't want me to be angry."
She swallowed hard. "Yes, Sir", she said then.
The extend of trouble she found herself currently in seemed to become worse than ever.
"Good", hissed Lucius and left the room without looking at her anymore.
