I have no one to proof read for me, so although I have tried to proof
read it myself, I apologise for any typos and spelling mistakes. I'd
love to know what you think, although I admit I'm mostly writing it for
my own perverse enjoyment! It's quite a long fic, but the 'action'
starts pretty much right away.
And of course, I don't own any of the characters and all that. Enjoy!
Fanboy Phaedrus. x
The air was warm and balmy, despite the room being below ground
level, bewitched sunlight streamed in through the arch shaped
dormitory window, that Thursday afternoon. The room was practically
deserted as the students were in class, all but for two forth year
boys, in a state of undress, tangled in each other's embrace on one
of the 4 poster beds.
They had been there for nearly an hour now, and it seemed they
were hopelessly lost in each other's mouths. Blaze's dark lips
pressed firmly over Draco's soft pink ones, they explored each other
with their tongues. It was not a new or unfamiliar situation for them,
but one that continued to be diverting enough to skip classes for.
They had been laying side by side for some time, kissing, and
caressing naked flesh, but now Blaise had decided it was time to
step things up a gear. The stronger and more well-built of the two, he
pounced onto Draco, flipping him onto his back and getting between
his slender legs. Forcefully, he pushed his hips against Draco,
grinding their erect cocks against one another. Draco gasped with
pleasure and Blaise lowered his lips to Draco's once more and bit his
lower lip, gently at first and them more roughly as he thrust up
against him.
'Gods, Draco! I really wanna fuck you!' Blaise whispered into Draco's
mouth.
'I bet you do!' Thought Draco. It was time to end this little dalliance,
as fucking was not on the cards this afternoon as far as Draco was
concerned.
Blaise had shifted his position so that his cock was pressed up
against Draco's entrance and he pushed against him hopefully.
Draco always said no, but today he might be lucky?
Blaise, who was sulking, had half a mind to shrug Draco off, but he
liked the way he kissed and couldn't push him away in spite of
himself. Draco moved slowly round in front of Blaise and knelt on the
floor. He looked up at him with smouldering bedroom eyes.
'I'm not gonna let you fuck me, but I don't want to leave you
completely unsatisfied.' Draco said in a silky voice. Blaise tried to
maintain his dejected expression, but felt himself caving as Draco
reached for his dick.
Draco pressed his lips to the end of Blaise's cock and worked them
there for a moment before taking the head into his mouth. Blaise
melted completely and sighed as he watched Draco's pretty pink lips
encircle his erection, he moaned and let his head roll back.
He didn't really resent Draco for withholding sex. After all, sex was a
far bigger deal to Draco than it was to him. Blaise knew it. He himself
was more than happy to fool around and have some fun with boys in
his teenage years, and really, what better boy than Draco Malfoy?
Well bred, aristocratic, pretty, delicate, pale… Why, from this angle,
and probably from others too, he could almost be a slim and delicate
girl, Blaise thought to himself. Blaise would fool around with him now,
but after they left school he would settle down and marry a model, or
even a Veela perhaps. He would have beautiful family and a perfect
life. But Draco, well, it was clear Draco was gay all the way. It was to
Blaise anyway. Poor little Draco would one day have to tell his
parents he liked boys more than girls, and although same-sex
relationships were generally no big deal in the wizarding world, to the
likes of Lucius Malfoy they probably were! Draco's virginity was not
something he would give away lightly on a sunny afternoon in the
dormitory to his friend at the end of their 4th year at Hogwarts.
But it was just fine, as Draco gave spectacular head, and Blaise had
been on the receiving end of this before. He allowed himself to
dissolve into ecstasy as Draco took the full length of his cock into his
eager mouth. Blaise reached down and rested his hand on the back
of Draco's head, entwining his fingers in Draco's blond hair. Feeling
his climax approaching he gripped Draco's hair tightly and forced
him into the rhythm he needed to reach orgasm. It was a matter of
moments before he came, shooting his load straight into Draco's
mouth. Draco continued to suck him until his dick had finished
throbbing and then he pulled away. Draco swallowed, he was too
well-bred to spit.
It was just at that moment that the dormitory door burst open and
Goyle stumbled in. Blaise jumped, and cursed himself for not
remembering a to cast a spell to lock the door.
'Malfoy, Zabini, professor Snape was looking for…' Goyle took in the
scene before him, Draco on his knees in front of a naked Blaise
Zabini. 'Oh, Err… Sorry!' He said, and left instantly, slamming the
door behind him.
'Fuck!' Said Blaise, as he pulled on his trousers and sat back on the
bed, leaning against the pillow. Draco was relaxed, however. He
stretched and reached for his own clothes, and put on his trousers.
'I wouldn't worry about it.' He said as he sat down and reached for a
cigarette. He offered one to Blaise. 'I doubt he even knew what was
going on. I don't see Goyle getting much action, do you?'
Blaise laughed as he leant over and offered Draco a light. The two
boys sat together on the bed and smoked peppermint cigarettes,
Blaise relaxing in a post orgasmic chill. He seemed to have forgotten
that he had done nothing to get Draco off. ' Selfish bastard!' thought
Draco affectionately.
'I don't know.' Said Draco. 'I know Father has a lot on with, umm,
work at the moment, but Mother and I might go away somewhere. I
just hope it's not too dull!'
'I suppose we should go and see what Snape wants' Said Blaise
coolly.
Draco spent much of the holiday away from home, with his Mother.
Voldemort's return had been evident from the moment he arrived,
the atmosphere at Malfoy Manor was tense and fearful, confirming
Draco's doubts. His Father was not keen to elaborate on the reasons
why the Dark Lord's return was not causing them to joyously
celebrate, and Draco knew better than to ask. Lucius desired that his
wife and son be away from the house as much as possible and
packed them off to Northern Italy for the majority of summer. Draco
did his best to enjoy a lazy summer after a hasty, flustered departure
from home only a week after he arrived.
He overheard his mother arguing with his father in the fire towards
the end of the holiday…
'We can't just hide in Italy for ever, Lucius!' His mother had protested.
'You CAN NOT come home yet, Narcissa!' He heard his father's
voice crackling through the fire. 'HE is here, he's using the manor a
good deal at the moment. I don't want you and Draco to be around
him any more than necessary at this stage!'
'I seem to remember, you wanted this allegiance with the Dark Lord
as much as I did in the early days.' Lucius responded to Narcissa's
accusative comment. 'Bring Draco home next week. He will have to
stay out of the way as much as possible and then once he's back at
school we can try to arrange a more convenient situation. The Dark
Lord may well find somewhere else to work from.'
Draco slunk back to his room at this point. He and his mother would
be going home next week to the cold and cheerless house they had
left behind. Back to his nervous and agitated Father. Draco knew it
was not wise to be around his Father when his moods were bad.
Draco had learnt this the hard way from an early age.
The next day, he put on his most confident expression, walked with
his usual swagger and tried to take his mind off his concerns by
indulging in his brief summer romance with a young Italian wizard he
had met at the beach.
Draco was glad he had enjoyed himself while he could, as back at
the manor things were worse than he had expected. His Father tried
put a brave face on things, even in front of his wife and son, as he
talked about how the family was in great favour with the Dark Lord,
and how honoured they should feel by his presence each time he
visited their home. He told them both how delighted he was to have
risen so high in the Dark Lords esteem. Draco knew his Father was
lying, but had to admit, he was getting more convincing with time.
Draco had been ordered to his room. This meant only one thing.
Voldemort was in their house, talking with his father. Draco lay on his
bed, staring up at the ornate plaster ceiling. It was not fair that he
had to stay up here for so long, it seemed that Voldemort had spent
more time at Malfoy Manor than Draco had this summer and Draco
resented being sent to hide out of sight. ' Are my parents ashamed
of me?' He wondered angrily. Did they think he would show them up,
get them in trouble? They should know him better, they had raised
him well, and he was 15 years old. There was no reason why he
should have to be shut up in his room like this. He wanted a glimpse
of Voldemort. Potter claimed to have seen him, and Voldemort was
here, in this house, right now and Draco was told to hide in his room
like a little child! Draco's chain of thought had worked him up into an
uncharacteristic fury which he could not control. Without further
thought he jumped up from him bed and stormed out of his room,
barefoot, hair falling about his face, the top two buttons of his shirt
undone and a flush of colour to his pale cheeks.
Voldemort was a good few inches taller than Draco and a much
boarded build. His face was partly hidden by the hood of his cloak
but Draco could clearly see his piercing red eyes fixing him to the
spot as they stared at him. Draco had not known fear like this before.
Voldemort was clearly not quite human, his skin was a grey-ish tone
and his breath, Draco could feel, was cold.
'Yes…' Voldemort hissed looking from Draco to his Father and back
again. 'You are Draco, are you not?' It took all of his power for Draco
to swallow his fear and regain the ability to speak.
'Perhaps you can tell me, then, where you have been hiding, on the
other occasions when I have visited your house, Draco?' Voldemort
asked.
'In your room?' Voldemort paraphrased him. 'Why hide away in your
room, Draco when everyone else is downstairs?' Draco said nothing
and Voldemort continued. 'Don't tell me your dear father sent you to
your room and insisted you stay there on your own?' Draco still said
nothing as Voldemort trailed his hand down from Draco's hair, over
his face and neck and down his arm where he kept a firm hold of
Draco, just about the elbow.
Draco shuffled his feet slightly and looked at the floor. He had been
anxious to meet Voldemort, but now wished to the Gods he had
stayed in his room. Voldemort was a more imposing presence than
he could ever have imagined and it terrified him. Something about
the not quite human features made him very difficult to read, and
there was an unpredictability about him, which made you think he
might just decide to kill you at any moment. Plus the way he had
touched Draco's hair, face and neck made Draco feel very
uncomfortable.
'Whatever you wish, my Lord.' Said Lucius, his voice trembled a little
and he bowed as he spoke.
'Idiot boy!' Lucius roared and he flung Draco across the study once
the guests had left. Narcissa screamed as Draco tripped and fell and
Lucius approached with one arm raised to strike him.
'DON'T!' She cried! 'Don't hurt him!' As she threw herself between
Lucius and Draco.
'Hurt him?' Echoed Lucius 'Hurt him? It's nothing compared to what
the Dark Lord will do to him!' And with that Narcissa began to cry
and hid her face with her hands.
Draco had picked himself up off the floor and was standing in the
corner of the room, a small trickle of blood running down his pale
face where he had hit his head on the corner of the desk. He was no
stranger to scenes like this one. His father's temper had meant that
Draco's childhood had been regularly punctuated with beatings and
unfriendly curses, followed by healing charms and tears
administered by his mother. In some of the worst cases these
scenes had ended with trips to St Mungos hospital, which would then
be followed up by Lucius making a generous donation to one of the
hospitals charitable funds as incentive to the staff to keep quite.
This scene played out rather differently though as, at that moment,
Lucius also began to sob into his hands. Draco was horrified, he had
never seen his father cry before, and he would have happily taken
the very worst of beatings in exchange for this right now. Lucius
sobbed silently and his shoulders shook convulsively. All of the fear
Draco had felt earlier in the hallway rushed back and seized him.
Lucius turned to Draco, his eyes red and his face tear stained.
'WHY didn't you just stay in your room?' He implored him. It wasn't
really a question, so much as a lament and Draco simply replied
Lucius knew she was right. The Dark Lord had already discussed
ideas and plans to indoctrinate his ways of thinking into the children
of his followers. It angered him that Dumbledore had so many young
minds he could work with, and Voldemort was keen to convert as
many youngsters as possible. Draco's presence would have been
requested soon, it was only a matter of time.
'I know, my dear.' Lucius said. 'I had only hoped that we might have
introduced Draco to him from more of a… safe distance, and in more
formal circumstances.'
'It wasn't ideal.' Narcissa conceded, 'But I think much of the Dark
Lords behaviour was simply to unnerve Draco and make sure he
was suitably afraid.'
'Next time, you stay out of the way, Draco!' He father ordered. 'But
you will be dressed and ready in case you are asked for.'
'Yes father.' Said Draco, and the family sat in silence for some time
before departing for bed.
Chapter 3
Several days passed, and the Malfoy family began to calm down as
the scene that had taken place in their hallway began to fade in their
minds. Draco, still a little haunted by the memory of an icy hand on
his warm flesh, did his best to focus on other things and not to
distress his parents by mentioning it.
After 4 days, an event at the Ministry meant that both his parents
would be out for the evening, and he would be left in the manor
alone. This frightened him, but he dared not let it show.
'OK darling, we'll try not to be too late.' She promised him, and they
were gone.
Draco felt strangely vulnerable alone in the old manor house, but he
told himself there was no reason to be. His parents would be back
later, and no one knew he was home by himself, and what's more,
no one would care, not really. He headed to his room and decided to
take a shower to help himself to relax.
His private bathroom adjoined his bedroom and he was grateful for
that as he felt safer barricading himself in his own rooms for the
evening. They were his sanctuary from the world whenever he
wanted to hide. He began to run the water and the room filled with
steam and the delicious scent of vanilla. Draco removed his clothes
and slipped under the hot running water, enjoying the heat of it on
his naked flesh. He breathed in the steamy air and sighed deeply as
he began to feel refreshed and revitalised. He reached for his sweet
vanilla scented soap and began to work up a lather on his wet skin.
The heat, the sensation of the soap and the necessity to work his
hands all over his naked body soon lead him to become aroused and
his mind slipped back to happy places. His Italian friend he met on
holiday, afternoons spent with Blaise… Including one in a similar, if
slightly less opulent shower, in the prefects bathroom at Hogwarts.
As Draco began to stroke his soapy, erect cock, his mind wondered
further, through his favourite fantasies that he visited when he
wanted to get off. He closed his eyes as he tugged as his dick,
imagining a 'certain green eyed Gryffindor boy, on his knees, sucking
him, having previously begged to be allowed to do it…' Draco was
just about to lose himself in the moment, as the 'green eyed boy
reached round and slipped his finger into Draco's ass…' When a
noise from his bedroom startled him. The daydream evaporated
along with Draco's erection, as he felt suddenly afraid once more.
In his worst waking nightmare, Draco might have pictured this, but it
had not prepared him for the reality of it. He froze in his tracks and
stared wide-eyed at the Dark Lord. His instinct was to run, but
where? No one else was here, and he doubted that there were many
places he could run where Voldemort couldn't find him.
'Good evening my Lord.' He said, without faltering. ' What the fuck is
he doing in my room?' Thought Draco, panicking internally if not
externally. ' He's on my BED! Is he going to rape me? Why is he
here, does he want me to take the dark mark? No, there's a
ceremony for that. Gods, what if he wants to fuck me? Shit! What do
I do?'
'Play for time'. Thought Draco. ' Compose yourself and play for time'.
'I was a little startled, my Lord, yes.' Draco replied coolly. Their
conversation ran like a game of chess in Draco's mind. ' Your move '.
He thought.
Draco was a very slim build, but played just enough Quidditch to
make his slenderness look athletic and well defined. He was proud
of his physique, but felt hugely self conscious right now. Draco hid
these feelings and looked at Voldemort with a questioning
expression. ' Your move .' He thought.
Voldemort leant forward and placed his cold hand on Draco's naked
shoulder. Draco steadied himself so as not to flinch. Voldemort
slowly ran his hand down Draco's arm, giving a low sigh as he did
so. Draco did not know how he should respond. He realised that this
was not at all like chess, they were not on an even footing, it was
more like poker and Voldemort had the upper hand.
Voldemort noticed this and played his next move. 'Why do you
shiver? Are you frightened of me, Draco?' he asked directly.
'You're a Malfoy, behave like one!' Draco told himself again. ' Be
cool, aloof, calm.'
'Yes.' He hissed. 'I am often cold, and you're so warm from your
shower.'
Draco wished to the Gods he had just a little more Gryffindor bravery
in his personality, it was hard to manage this encounter on Malfoy
pride alone. Voldemort raised his hand to Draco's face and caressed
his cheek, sweeping back his wet hair. His face was mere inches
from Draco's. ' Oh Gods! He is going to rape me!' Thought the panic
stricken Draco. 'He's going to do it here, in MY room. Gods help me!
Please let him say something. If we talk maybe I can distract him…'
Draco thought wildly. Voldemort spoke.
'I bet you do!' He said slickly. 'I bet you have fucked half of Hogwarts
by now, haven't you?' He added with a sly grin.
'Crap! Now he thinks I'm a slut. He won't think twice about taking me
here and now.' Draco felt compelled to defend his honour.
'None of them deserve me.' Draco said flatly. Another brave answer.
His soft pink lips pouted slightly as he spoke the words like a
petulant child and Voldemort's lust increased.
'No.' He said 'Not even him.' But Voldemort had him in a corner.
'But perhaps you wouldn't say no if he asked you?' Voldemort
smiled. 'You are attracted to older men, I think.'
Voldemort took hold of Draco's shoulders and pulled him further onto
the bed, so that the two of them were kneeling, facing one another.
'Do you not think, if I had come here to hurt you, I would have had
ample opportunity to do so by now, as you are quite alone, and
quite,' he paused, and trailed his hand down Draco's naked chest…
'vulnerable?'
Draco said nothing. Voldemort's hand on his naked body had sent
electrifying shocks right through him and he was mentally grappling
to retain his sanity.
Neck kissing really was his weakness. If only Blaise had known this
he might have got his way a long time ago, Voldemort seemed to
have discovered it right away. Draco tried to suppress his desperate
gasps of pleasure, as Voldemort entangled his fingers in his hair,
caressed his back, the firm curve of his ass, and worked so
devotedly on the most intense areas of Draco's neck. Draco could
not hide the obvious physical effect it was having at front of his boxer
shorts. Voldemort must have become aware of this, as he very
purposefully thrust his hips forward and moved so that Draco was
straddling one of his legs. Draco could not fight any longer and he
began to grind himself against Voldemort's thigh. Voldemort
rewarded his enthusiasm with more open mouthed kisses.
Draco had cursed himself for not finishing himself off in the shower.
Perhaps if he had, he wouldn't be so achingly hard now. He was
hard to the point that his brain had ceased to function and he was
thinking entirely with his body. He could not remember ever being so
overtaken by his sex drive in his life. Perhaps it was because in all
the games he had ever played before, he had held the aces.
Perhaps it was because when you lose, you have nothing, you give
everything up, including your self control. All he knew was there was
another body there, a strong, powerful body, arms around him,
mouth controlling him. A man who was now as hard as Draco
himself, and was pushing his erection against Draco's hip, with firm,
masterful thrusts. How did Draco feel that his man was in fact He-
Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? Draco actually couldn't contemplate that
fact fully at that precise moment as his brain had giving up round
about the time Voldemort first kissed his neck. Draco was still afraid,
he had never stopped being afraid, but somehow what was
happening seemed inevitable and all he could do now was embrace
it. Like a drowning person embraces the final wave that takes them
under, as it is the one that ends the suffering.
'Oh Gods!' Moaned Draco as the cold hand trailed over his delicate
hip bones and slipped under his clothes. He gave a stifled scream as
the icy fingers circled his hard cock and began to work back and
forth, giving him the stimulation he had been craving.
This was wrong. This was so wrong, Draco knew it, but in this
moment he was aware only of lust, of touch, of a desperate desire, a
need to give the Dark Lord anything he wanted in exchange for the
gratification of his own sexual wants. Draco moved his own hand
lower and reached inside Voldemort's robes to feel his cock. He
found his way there, noticing the subtle warmth of Voldemort's skin.
Voldemort was certainly well endowed, his dick was long and thick
and Draco caressed it with his soft pale hand, gently tugging it and
from time to time, flicking his fingers over the tip. His actions were
almost instinctual. He was not able to think properly as Voldemort
was pumping him harder and harder and continuing to bite his neck,
Draco could feel that he would not last much longer and he was
positively desperate to come.
'Merlin! I'm going to come all over him!' Thought Draco, horrified. '
I'm gonna come all over his hand and his leg! Fuck! I'm gonna come
over Lord Voldemort, He will probably kill me for it!'
Draco whimpered with fear and frustration.
With his free hand, Voldemort wrenched Draco's head back and
whispered in his ear
Draco wrapped his lips around the end of it and pulled gently around
the ridge, lightly flicking his tongue over the slit to taste his pre-come.
It was Voldemort's turn to gasp out loud and he had to steady
himself against the headboard. Draco was good. He was
exceptional, in fact, and it caught the Dark Lord of guard. Draco
might have claimed he hadn't fucked half of Hogwarts, but he sure
as hell had had some practice at this! ' Perhaps it's been put on the
curriculum, now that Dumbledore is headteacher?' Voldemort
wondered as he attempted to compose himself a little as he watched
the angel faced blond sucking his dick as though his life depended
on it. Gods! Draco was good at this!
Draco knew he was good at this, and he was confident he could get
Voldemort off with just a few more flicks of his tongue. He wanted
something of the satisfaction Voldemort had felt when he forced
Draco to orgasm. Draco knew what a gratifying feeling it was to have
that effect on another person. The game was on again. Voldemort
could make Draco do anything he wanted, as he could with most
people, but Draco could make Voldemort come, if nothing else.
Voldemort moaned a deep guttural sigh and Draco could tell by the
pulsing of his cock that he was really close. Draco took a gamble.
Sensing that Voldemort was turned on by fear and vulnerability, he
took a moment to glance up into Voldemort's face, his deep grey
eyes wide, with a frightened, innocent expression. It was extremely
well played. Seeing the fear and vulnerability on Draco's pretty face
was too much for Voldemort, but he was not going to let this happen
on Draco's terms. Draco had come all over him and now he was
about to return the gesture. Feeling his climax coming, he pulled his
hips back so that his cock was just free from Draco's soft wet lips.
Voldemort managed this just in time to spray his come in rapid spurts
over Draco's beautiful porcelain face, over his pink lips and into his
pretty mouth. Draco was shocked, he had expected to swallow what
Voldemort gave him, he had not expected a face full of his come.
Draco's look of shock pleased Voldemort and he could have almost
have laughed in delight as he looked at the poor confused boy,
practically naked, with come dripping down his lovely face. This visit
to Malfoy Manor had been every bit as entertaining as he had hoped
it would be.
Chapter 4
Draco's parents were home before midnight, and he wondered
downstairs to meet them, his thick black dressing gown over his
pyjamas. Voldemort had left, after being kind enough to utter a
cleaning spell over the bed, but he left Draco to wash his face
himself. Voldemort had bid Draco goodnight and apparated away
without another word. Draco had showered again, three times in fact
and was considering a forth when his parents returned. Draco
wondered if they would notice that he was, in fact, an entirely
different person from the boy they left behind just hours before. But
his mother rushed over to him and hugged and kissed him like he
was the most precious thing in the world. He didn't have the heart to
tell her that he was no longer her precious little boy, but some filthy,
marred interloper who should be flung out into the street.
His father seemed to have had a little to drink, but was in a cheery
mood. Draco was keen to get to bed so as to be out of the way if that
mood changed. He made his excuses and took a sleeping draft,
certain as he was that he would get no sleep without it. Returning to
his room, the battleground where he had lost the fight so
spectacularly, he was glad he had taken twice the recommended
dose of sleeping draft, as it was merely moments before he fell
asleep in his armchair, not having wanted to be on the bed just yet.
He awoke in his bed hours later, and realised his mother must have
come to say goodnight and moved him there. Part of him wanted to
jump up and throw the covers off and go… Anywhere, really,
downstairs maybe, but the bed was warm and exceptionally
comfortable.
'Think about something else!' He told himself sharply. ' Pansy and
Granger in the girls locker rooms. 'Pansy pushes Granger up against
the lockers and slips her hand up her skirt..'. Draco began to touch
himself. ' Granger tries to cry for help, but Pansy forces her lips over
her mouth and her hand moves to the warm spot between Grangers
legs and pulls aside her white panties…'
Oh, who was he kidding? He hadn't been wanking about girls for
months now. It was as if he was trying to prove something to himself
now, and it wasn't working. The image of Pansy and Hermione in the
locker room dissolved and his mind began to cloud again with
memories of Voldemort's touch, his smell, his taste…
'Your behaviour in class today has been far below what I expect from
you Mr. Malfoy', Snape drawls. 'You may be my favorite student, but
I am afraid I must punish you.' Snape grabs me and pulls me to the
couch… Since when was there a couch in the potions room?' Maybe
the detention was in his office or something,' it doesn't matter', Draco
reminded himself, it's a fantasy, but he was a stickler for detail!
' Snape pulls me over to the couch and sits down. He turns me and
stares at me with his dark penetrating eyes. 'Take down your
trousers, Mr Malfoy.' Hesitantly I obey him. 'And your underwear.'
Snape adds coolly. I do as I am told. Snape pulls me over his lap
and admires my firm, pale ass cheeks for a moment. I'm going to
spank you, Mr. Malfoy." He whispers…
Draco, in his bed at the Manor was fully erect now, in the midst of
this, one of his most visited fantasies and he worked his dick with his
hand, slowly at first .
Snape raises his hand and slaps my ass with great force. It stings
like hell, the sound resonates around the room and I yelp with pain.
Snape takes no notice and spanks me again across the other cheek
this time and takes a moment to watch as the skin reddens. I shout
in pain as Snape follows up with several short, sharp slaps. 'I'm
going to spank you till you cry, Malfoy!' Snape hisses at me…'
Draco was so close to orgasm when a dark though crossed his mind.
If he could fantasise about this type of thing, then surely he deserved
everything he got? If his choice of wank material were scenes in
which he was disciplined and humiliated by an older man, surely he
should welcome Voldemort's attention? Just as he climaxed, the
image of Snape disappeared and was replaced with one of
Voldemort, Voldemort fucking him over the desk in his father's study.
Draco ran to the bathroom and was violently sick. Slumped on the
cold bathroom floor he chastised himself. 'You deserve everything
you get, you are sick and perverted, you did nothing, NOTHING
to resist him. You are a filthy little whore and your family will
disown you'.
'But you didn't have to LIKE it!' The critical Draco retorted. 'And
the way you think about Snape, and the way you fool around
with Blaise, you're gonna get it one day, good and proper and
it'll be your own fault!'
'But I'm 15!' Wailed the other Draco. 'I'm allowed to be interested
in sex, aren't I? And I'm allowed to fantasise about things I don't
actually want to happen in reality, aren't I?'
'I want someone to love me.' Answered the kind Draco. Draco
could hear laughter inside his head.
'Shut up!' Draco shouted out loud to silence the voices, then he
realised how crazy he sounded as he was alone in the bathroom. His
shout seemed to have rejoined the 2 sides of his personality though
and logical, structured thought returned.
He had done something bad, but it wasn't entirely his fault. No one
knew about it, he just had to stay in control. ' You're a Malfoy.
Behave like one!'
Chapter 5
Draco was pacing in the drawing room next to his father's study. He
was beautifully dressed and his hair was immaculate. This did not
look too suspicious, as he usually presented himself this way, but
today he wore his favourite scent and had spent longer than usual in
front of the mirror.
Voldemort was meeting with his father. They had been in there for
ages now, what could they be talking about?
Of course it was entirely possible that the Dark Lord would not even
want to set eyes on Draco today. Why would he? Draco didn't know,
if in that eventuality, he would feel relieved or disappointed. If
Voldemort did not ask to see him, Draco could already hear the cruel
voice in his head with a landslide of taunts and abuse to yell at him
as he wrestled with his emotions . 'As if he would want to see you
again! He probably though you were crap! And you spent so
long on your hair today! What are you, some kind of girl? And I
thought you didn't want this anyway? You're not supposed to
want this, you creep!'
'Sit down, darling.' She ushered him to the couch 'Why are you
pacing about like that?' She said, stroking his hand.
'I know, sweetheart, but it will be ok.' His mother tried to reassure
him. 'Your father will be there, and you must just say as little as
possible in the Dark Lords presence. It will be scary the first time he
sees you, but you will be alright.'
Draco knew his mother was blissfully unaware that Draco had
already been alone in the presence of the Dark Lord, and had not
handled things well at all.
'That is all I need to discuss with you today Lucius.' Voldemort said.
He sat behind Lucius's desk while Lucius stood before him like a
frightened schoolboy.
'However.' Voldermort interjected, 'I will see your son for a while, if I
may?' It was neither a question or a request, but an instruction.
Lucius stopped in his tracks.
'Yes, my Lord, whatever you wish.' He said dryly, feeling like his
throat was closing up. He walked to the door to the drawing room
and opened it. Narcissa and Draco both jumped up at once.
'Draco, the Dark Lord wishes to speak to you.' Lucius said nervously
as he met his wife's eyes.
'Of course my Lord.' He said and left passing Draco in the doorway.
Their eyes met for a moment and Draco saw an emotion in his
father's face that he was not used to seeing there. It might have
been pity.
Draco shut the door behind him and turned to face Voldemort, who
had risen from his chair in greeting.
Draco walked towards him, his step quickening as he got nearer and
Voldemort pulled him into a grasping embrace. He swept Draco up
and sat him on the desk, working his way between Draco's legs. One
hand on Draco's slender waist and the other stroking his soft blond
hair, he leant in and kissed Draco on the mouth. Draco parted his
lips and responded to the kiss with eagerness, and he didn't even
know why.
Draco had had no idea if Voldemort would ask to see him, or what
the nature of the encounter would be if he did. He did not know what
he wanted, but he did know what it was like to be touched, and then
not to be touched. To not know if that touch would come again. He
knew what it felt like to have someone engulf you entirely and then to
leave with no promise of return. He knew what it was like when your
body kept vividly remembering them, even when your brain didn't
want to.
Voldemort pulled Draco to the edge of the desk and gripped him
tightly so that they bodies were pressed together, he deepened the
kiss and Draco whimpered softly under the force of it. Blood rushed
to his groin. His body was oh, so ready for this, even if his mind was
not.
'My… my, parents…' Draco began, his voice faltered. ' Hell, if they
hear, if he does anything to me, if he fucks me, they might hear. I
would die if they hear this.'
'You're frightened.'
'Mmmmmmm…' Draco moaned, tilting his head back and closing his
eyes as Voldemort's hand reached for his crotch, cupped his
erection and began to rub him there. 'Oh Gods!' Gasped Draco
breathlessly.
Draco bucked his hips against Voldemort's hand, and his breath
became desperate and pleading. Once again, desire had overtake
sanity. He shouldn't be doing this. He could hardly justify it
happening once, but going back for more? That was unforgivable.
He was just desperate for the touch of Voldemort's flesh against his.
He hated Voldemort for doing this to him. He hated himself for
wanting it. He hated his parents, they should be protecting him and
yet the practically offered him up like a sacrifice tonight. ' But even if
they saved you from HIM, they can't save you from yourself,' the
voice taunted, ' and this is YOUR fault.'
Draco took refuge in his body. His brain was intent on torturing him,
so he just shut it down and existed for the moment through sensation
only. Voldemort had pushed him back so that he was laying across
the desk, allowing Voldemort to caress his chest and to fondle his
cock easily. He had not undressed Draco, but simply by touching
Draco through his clothes he had worked him up into a frenzy.
Draco's fingernails dug into the leather of the desk at either side of
him and he bit hard on his lower lip and screwed his eyes shut, half
sobbing with lust.
'It's almost too easy'. Thought Voldemort as he watched the
squirming boy beneath his hands, but Draco's willingness actually
made him want him more, not less. He wanted to tease him first, to
drive him to absolute distraction. His own cock was rigid with desire
and he pushed it hard up against Draco's ass. Draco felt it pressing
there, even through his clothes and he pushed back against
Voldemort, asking for more. Draco felt like he was standing on the
edge of a precipice and the world was crumbling around him, the
best thing he could do was to jump, he wanted to let go.
'What did you say, Draco?' He had heard him perfectly clearly, but
wanted to make him say it again.
'Fuck me, please, my Lord, fuck me.' Draco begged, his twilight grey
eyes wide with fear and lust.
Voldemort had had no intention of fucking Draco that night, it had not
been in his plan, but he was finding it hard to stick to the plan right
now. Helpless and hopeless, Draco looked at him, eyes full of
anguish and actually begged him for it, it was hard to resist. He
pushed himself upright and moved back slightly, keeping contact, but
decreasing the pressure between them.
Draco sat up, supporting himself on his hands. He looked dazed and
confused, he frowned, he was still panting and short of breath.
'Why?' he asked desperately. ' Why?' he thought to himself, ' was the
plan all along simply to humiliate me? The fucking bastard!'
Draco took Voldemort in his mouth and sucked hard. He did not
tease this time because he was angry, he sucked ferociously, but still
took care not to hurt Voldemort, as he was no less frightened of him
than he had even been. He cupped Voldemort's balls in his hand and
stimulated him there and held the base of his cock with the other
while working his mouth back and forth. He relaxed his throat and
leant forward to take the whole length of Voldemort's dick.
'You will be going back to school soon, won't you?' Voldemort asked,
fastening up his robes.
'Errr, yeah. Yes, my Lord.' Draco corrected himself. Voldemort was
charmed.
'I will see you before you go.' He said softly and pulled Draco in for
one last, long passionate kiss before he disaparated.
Draco stepped into the room where his parents were waiting. He
looked neatly put together again, but he thought his face must still be
flushed and he dreaded that he might smell of sex. His parents
jumped up and ran to him, his mother flung her arms around him and
held him tightly.
'Errr, you know, just like, what I think about muggles and mudbloods
and that sort of thing.' Draco lied a little unconvincingly. He
elaborated, adding creditability to his story.
'He asked about the mudbloods at Hogwarts and about what sort of
thing we learn in muggle studies. He just seemed to want an insight
into the rubbish that they insist on teaching us.' He added
confidently.
'I'm sure you answered well.' His father said proudly and he departed
for his study.
Draco spoke to his mother. 'I'm going to go to bed now, I'm really
tired and we have to go to Diagon Ally tomorrow, don't we?
'Yes… d, darling.' She said, her voice faltering, but she regained her
composure.
'Goodnight mother.' Said Draco, and he squeezed her hand in his
and turned to leave, going via the kitchens, he planned to take a
bottle of Fire-Whisky upstairs with him, there was no other way he'd
sleep tonight.
All those years without a physical body had left him desperate for
sexual gratification, and Draco was just the ideal little toy for him.
Draco tried to play him at his own game, and Voldemort loved the
way he fought him, and fought his own desires, always to no avail.
His desperate pleas to be fucked on the desk had been the icing on
the cake. Voldemort pictured Draco begging, and then looking so
angry at being refused. Draco was spoilt and used to getting what he
wanted, and Voldemort had every intention of giving it to him, but
only when HE decided to. Draco may not like it when it happened,
but he had asked and he would get his wish.
The Malfoy family had only 4 more days together before Draco
would catch the train to Hogwarts for the new term.
Narcissa had tried her best to control her emotions since the night
she had seen the marks on her sons neck. She had been a little
more possessive of Draco, and had wanted to sit in his room with
him often. She did not want to make Lucius suspicious of her
behaviour and she did not want to tell him what she had seen. Nor
did she want to mention it to Draco. Somehow not speaking it might
make it less true.
It was nearly 6pm, and the family sat together in the drawing room.
Draco reading. His mother, with a book, doing a passable impression
of someone reading, whilst watching her son. His father writing at the
table.
Draco did not know why he was angry. The last time he had seen
him, he had kissed him gently, and now he was shouting with a
murderous look in his red eyes. Draco felt like crying. Had he done
something wrong?
'No!' She cried. The Dark Lord glared at her, how dare she say no to
him?
'It's ok.' Draco whispered to her, wanting to stop her doing anything
that might put her in danger, and he hurried towards Voldemort who
gave an evil smile to Lucius and Narcissa.
'Today.'
Chapter 7
Voldemort apparated with Draco to a dark room in a location Draco
did not know. He was mortified at the fact his parents had witnessed
the way the Voldemort had held him. His parents no doubt saw
Voldemort's hand move suggestively down Draco's back, and they
would have seen the way he whispered to him, even if they had not
heard the word or known it's meaning.
The room they arrived in was so dark Draco could hardly even
discern what furniture was there except that in the centre there was
a large four poster bed with black drapes.
Draco was unable to move for a couple of seconds. The Dark Lord
advanced on him as he lay on the ground. In his confused state, he
scrambled back along the floor into the corner of the room, faintly
aware of blood running down the left side of his face. Voldemort
loomed above him. Draco did not know if Voldemort would strike him
again. Good sense told him he should cower and try to protect his
face and head. Draco knew how to take a beating, having had plenty
of practice. But he did not know why Voldemort had struck him like
that and he was overwhelmed by emotions. So many emotions he
couldn't name or distinguish them. Hate, fear, sorrow, shame,
confusion… maybe…? Instead of hiding his face he looked up at the
Dark Lord, looked directly at him, his eyes filled with tears asking,
without words… 'Why?'
Voldemort was not sure himself why he had hit Draco so hard, he
had clearly hurt him a great deal, but he got the sense that the tears
filling Draco's grey eyes were nothing to do with physical pain.
Voldemort was unsure how to proceed, he had not really wanted to
strike the boy so hard, but Voldemort did not know how to manage
emotions. He had not expected such unquestioning submission from
Draco. Draco didn't even try to protect himself. He had always tried
to fight before, tried to play a game which he didn't know the rules of,
but now he seemed to accept that he had lost. He looked up at
Voldemort with wide, frightened eyes, like a deer cornered by a
hunter, exhausted from the chase, unsure of what will happen next
as it has never lost the race before.
'Is he going to kill me? Torture me? What does he want? He has
never hit me before, what have I done?' Draco's mind swam, foggy
after the blow to his head.
'Get on the bed.' Voldemort hissed. When Draco moved slowly and
hesitantly, Voldemort grabbed his arm and flung him across the
room,
Draco stumbled to the bed and fell onto his front. Voldemort was
instantly right behind him. His violence was subsiding a little, now
that he was sure Draco was here, that Draco was his, and that he
could do what he liked with him. His mind tripped back to the
defenceless pleading boy, begging to be fucked. He liked that Draco.
He liked terrified, hurt Draco who looked at him with sad tear stained
eyes too. But the dirty, pleading, humiliated boy who begged for sex
and hated himself for it, he was just too delicious.
Draco had scrambled to his knees, and he looked down at the bed
beneath him, his eyes still wet with tears, but he would not give in
and allow them to fall freely.
Voldemort wrapped his arms around Draco's waist and held him
tightly before one hand swept his hair away from his face, revealing
the injury he had inflicted on him. Draco struggled to breathe and he
trembled against Voldemort's body, as he desperately tried not to cry.
Voldemort's fingers moved slowly in his hair. Then, Voldemort slowly
licked the side of Draco's face, tracing the line of blood on his cheek.
Draco gasped and flinched when he reached the cut. Voldemort
kissed his open mouth, spreading a wetness onto his lips, which
Draco realised from the taste, was blood, his own blood. Voldemort's
kisses were deep and laviscious, and Draco found himself sighing
softly into Voldemort's mouth as his tongue teased him.
When Voldemort pulled out of the kiss he looked at Draco. The boy
looked absolutely terrified. He looked lost. He looked broken. His
eyes were wide. The blood spread over his soft lips made them
appear darker. With his aristocratic looks and fresh blood on his lips,
he could have been a vampire, were it not for the pitiful expression
on his pretty face. Leaning close to his ear, Voldemort whispered
Draco squeezed his eyes shut and bit down on his lip, deeply
ashamed. Slowly, Voldemort began to undress him. He removed his
jacket and cast it aside and began to unfasten Draco's black shirt. As
he undid the buttons he was able to graze his cold fingers across
Draco's chest, Draco's breathing was becoming increasingly
laboured as his fear heightened. He had begged for it and he was
mortified that he had done so. He had been crazy with lust, and he
didn't know if he could feel like that now. Voldemort might not be
prepared to take the time to get him there.
As Voldemort removed Draco's shirt completely, he paused for a
moment to take in the sight of Draco's beautiful body. He had not
seen Draco unclothed since the first time they had been together,
and Draco's naked flesh was a welcome sight.
Draco, gripped with panic, was almost gasping for breath. He had
never suffered from panic attacks in the past, but imagined this might
be what it felt like if he did. Voldemort read the signs. He had
observed people in all stages of panic and distress and knew that if
Draco's breathing didn't regulate, he would probably pass out.
Voldemort did not want him unconscious. He would probably have
fucked him anyway, but it would be preferable to have him awake
and aware, vividly aware, of what was happening to him.
Voldemort gently took Draco in his arms and pressed their bodies
together. He held Draco tightly, but took care not to restrict his
breathing. Voldemort breathed deeply, helping Draco into the same
rhythm. He ran his cold hands over Draco's naked back, helping to
lower his body temperature, which had sky rocketed due to his
soaring adrenalin levels. He stroked Draco's hair and let Draco hide
his face against his neck.
Voldemort wanted to laugh at him. He had seen Draco laid out over
his father's desk, panting and moaning, he had seen him nearly
naked after a shower, he had seen him with come dripping from his
face, but he had never seen Draco look like that before. Such a
human expression, such a horny teenage expression. Voldemort
knew Draco had just "checked him out", and clearly liked what he
saw.
Voldemort reached for his wand and muttered a spell softly, and
Draco felt a cool rush as his clothes, all except his underwear,
disappeared and now lay on the floor. It was easier than undressing
him by hand, Voldemort thought. He climbed onto the bed beside
Draco, taking him in his arms pushing him down so that Draco lay
almost beneath him. He caressed Draco's face with the back of his
hand and kissed him softly, teasingly on the lips. Draco was
beginning to lose himself, he had accepted now that he could not
fight this. Voldemort worked on his neck next, knowing this to be
effective, and Draco began to melt in his hands.
With that he lowered his head to Draco's groin and took Draco's cock
in his hand. He lowered his lips to the tip of it and flicked his tongue
over the end, tasting Draco's pre-come. Draco felt a wave of ecstasy
wash over him as Voldemort's tongue made contact with his cock.
This was something he had never expected to happen. Although
Voldemort was not sucking him, he was tending to him orally, and
Draco had not imagined he would do that. He used his tongue to
trace the vein than ran the underside of Draco's dick and played his
lips over the head. Draco could feel his cool breath on him, which
contrasted with the subtle warmth of his mouth. The mix of
sensations left Draco on edge guessing which he would feel next.
Voldemort had got him so hard that he now bucked his hips up
against his hand. Draco reached his own hand down, desperate to
feel Voldemort's thick, firm cock for himself. He found it ready and
waiting, eager to respond to the touch of his gentle hand. He gripped
it and worked his shaft back and forth, in the same rhythm as
Voldemort worked him.
Voldemort looked at Draco's beautiful back and the fine curve of his
ass and felt he could not wait much longer to take him. He wrapped
his arms around Draco's waist and bit into his neck, making the boy
cry out. He could feel Voldemort's cock pressing against the crack of
his ass now too, which scared him although he pushed back against
it, wanting more. Draco had had enough of being toyed with, he
could not come this far and not go all the way. Knowing this would
come had tormented and frightened him, now it would finally happen.
Voldemort released him from his grasp and pushed him onto all
fours. Draco glanced nervously over his shoulder, Voldemort gave
him a sickly smile and his red eyes gleamed.
He lowered his face to Draco's entrance and lightly swept his tongue
over Draco's ring, which startled Draco, yet another sensation he
had not expected. Voldemort covered Draco's entrance with his
mouth and teased the sensitive puckered ring with his tongue, licking
and probing at it, without entering him. Draco felt his desire go
through the roof.
'Here we go!' Thought Voldemort, 'and I've only just started on him.
The horny little slut!'
It was time to give Draco his first taste of penetration. He paused for
a second as if to give a warning before he slowly slipped his tongue
into Draco's ass, lubricating him with saliva. Draco was quite
unprepared for this sensation. He had touched himself there ever
since his fantasies had become predominantly about being fucked
by men, but that was quite different to someone else entering him,
and with their tongue!
Voldemort cast a silent lubrication charm over his hand, to make his
next task easier. Draco was tight and would need this. He moved his
long fingers to Draco's sensitive hole and teased it with his finger tip,
drawing a sharp breath from Draco, who was wanting what would
come next. Voldemort did not hesitate to give it to him, and he
pushed his finger into Draco. This was certainly a rougher
experience than taking his tongue, but it was not all together
unpleasant as Voldemort stimulated inside him. Draco was aware
that it stung a little as his ring was stretched, but something about his
desire for sex was making it feel ok. Voldemort pushed all the way
into him, and was able to reach a spot inside him, touching lightly,
making Draco see stars, giving him just a hint of what was to come.
He cried out in pleasure and the muscles of his ass clenched around
Voldemort's finger.
'Yes!' Draco gasped, 'Oh, fuck yes! I want you. I want you to fuck me,
I want you inside me, please!'
'I am inside you…' Voldemort teased. 'Or is this not what you
meant…?' He was going to make Draco say it.
'I want your cock inside me.' Draco half gasped half sobbed with
frustration and shame. 'Please, my Lord, please, just fuck me. I want
your cock in my ass! Oh please, please fuck me!' He cried.
Voldemort smiled an evil smile. That was what he wanted. This was
power play at its best. This was Draco at his best, a pathetic,
pleading mess, prepared to do anything for sex. Voldemort slowly
drew his fingers from Draco's hole, Draco missed the sensation
instantly and looked back at Voldemort with an expression of such
need and desire. He wished he hadn't, as looking at him reminded
him vividly of who it was he was making these requests to, reminded
him that he didn't actually have any choice in this and reminded him
of the danger he was in. Fear flashed across his face.
'I'm going to fuck you Draco Malfoy.' Voldemort hissed. 'I'm going to
fuck you hard and I'm going to fuck you over and over again. I'm
going to make you come until it hurts. You have begged me to fuck
you, and I'm going to do it until you beg me to stop because you
can't take any more.'
This was certainly an intimidating prospect, Draco wasn't sure that
Voldemort would stop if he begged him to, but he simply whispered,
'Please, my Lord…'
'Fuck!' Thought Draco. 'This really hurts, it really, really hurts and he
has only just started. What if I can't take it? He struggled to breath
calmly as he tried to adjust his position to help accommodate
Voldemort's large dick in his passage. As Voldemort penetrated him
fully, Draco was more and more taken over by a deep pain ripping
through his body and it caused him to cry out in distress. Before,
being entered had felt so good, but this was too much.
Voldemort took hold of his hips and worked slowly back and forth,
hissing with pleasure. He was aware of Draco's pain and distress.
He found it mildly arousing, and also felt that if he continued Draco
would relax and get used to the sensation, then his cries would turn
to pleasure again.
As he fucked him, the pain did lessen as Draco got used to being so
filled. The intense stinging turned to a tingling sensation around his
ring, and the stretching of his passage began to feel more arousing
than uncomfortable. As his cries became less anxious, Voldemort
responded with a deep thrust, more forceful than the previous ones.
The head of his cock assaulted Draco's prostate and Draco almost
came instantly, screaming in pleasure. Voldemort took from this that
Draco was ready, at last, and he began to fuck him in earnest. He
drove deep into him with hard punishing thrusts, slamming his hips
against Draco's cheeks. Draco screamed again and again as he was
repeatedly pounded, almost losing it completely as Voldemort hit the
spot inside him.
His thrusts got faster and faster and he gripped Draco's hip bones so
tightly that Draco began to bruise instantly. Voldemort was so strong
and Draco fairly light and slim, he felt almost as if he was a rag doll
as Voldemort dragged his hips back and then slammed him forwards
into the pillow.
'Yes, come for me Draco. ' Growled Voldemort. I'm going to make
you come for me all night!'
Giving Draco very little time to recover, he flung him down onto his
hands again and took hold of his waist roughly. He pushed Draco
down hard so that he was laying on his front and Voldemort
continued to pound him from behind. It was more uncomfortable like
this, even for Voldemort as Draco felt tighter, especially as he
continued to twitch with pleasure after his climax. Voldemort showed
no signs of slowing or finishing, Draco arched his back to allow
Voldemort to penetrate him more deeply. Draco gripped the pillow in
front of him and hugged it hard, failing to fight back cries of ecstasy
as the dark lord relentlessly fucked him.
'Not going to, sweetheart.' Voldemort replied and ploughed deep into
Draco with one long hard stroke. Draco screamed and felt himself
coming again.
This time after Draco climaxed, Voldemort did withdraw from him,
which gave the delirious Draco a moment or two to recover, although
he was not sure he wanted to ever recover, not fully. He certainly did
not want to ever return to thinking logically and have to face the
reality of what he had done. He had mere moments to catch his
breath, before Voldemort encouraged him over onto his back.
Voldemort wanted to see Draco's face and be able to watch his
expression next time he climaxed. Draco lifted his knees up and
Voldemort grabbed his ankles, securing him there. Draco was young,
lithe and flexible and it was easy to push his knees up to his
shoulders, making his abused ass all the more easy to access.
The fear in his wide eyes and the convulsive trembling of his delicate
body as he was forced to reach his third orgasm was too much for
Voldemort. Seeing Draco's pretty face, flushed with heat and desire,
and hearing him finally admit that the pleasure was too much, drove
Voldemort climax with Draco. Draco had not imagined he could have
felt anything more deeply than the first orgasm Voldemort had given
him as he fucked him, but feeling the Dark Lord come inside him
took things to a whole new level. He felt Voldemort pump his come
into him, felt it flow out of his throbbing cock and fill his passage.
Draco blacked out, although only for a moment.
Draco did not know how, but somehow his bruised and shaking legs
managed to carry him there and he was inside the bathroom with the
door locked before he collapsed on the floor.
Chapter 8
Sitting on the bathroom floor, Draco Malfoy struggled to keep from
passing out. The room was dazzlingly white after the dark bedroom
and he squinted a little in order to focus. He pulled himself over to
the sink and turned the cold tap on full, sticking his hands under the
refreshing cold water for some time before splashing it liberally onto
his face and neck. He felt like he might be sick, but deciding he was
ok, he pulled himself up and sat on the toilet, resting his head in his
hands.
His heart rate was racing and his temperature was high, but both
began to fall as he sat in the white tiled room, breathing deeply and
trying to return to some feeling of normality. He hurt everywhere. He
wanted to sleep. He touched the left side of his face and he flinched
in pain. He was injured there, he had forgotten. Slowly and
tentatively he stood up and leaning on the edge of the basin, he
dared to look into mirror.
Draco was utterly mortified and ashamed, but he calmed himself with
the idea he could maybe go home… And then he would run away.
Yes, he would leave. He would never see anyone who knew him
ever again. He would hide in a cave in the mountains and sit outside
in the rain every day until he felt clean again… Which he probably
never would, but at least he would never again have to face looking
at another person, or another mirror.
'But you have to go back out there now…' He reminded himself, 'If
you want to leave at all…' And so he finished in the bathroom and
wrapped the dressing gown around himself again and dared to go
back into the bedroom.
Tentatively Draco walked across the room and stooped to pick up his
trousers, then he headed towards his shirt and reached for that, his
eyes on the door. He picked up his jacket and turned towards the
exit…
'Where do you think you're going, love?' Came a silky hiss from the
bed. Voldemort had been watching him.
'Come back to bed, my pet.' Voldemort said, his voice soft but
commanding.
Draco knew he could not refuse. He carried his clothes over to the
bed and set them down beside it. Voldemort had slipped beneath the
covers and he turned them back for Draco to join him. Draco sat
nervously on the edge of the bed. He did not want to get under a
duvet with Voldemort, no way!
'How the fuck,' thought Draco 'How the fuck is being under a duvet
WORSE than what you have just been doing?' But somehow it felt
like it was.
Voldemort looked at him questioningly and Draco lifted his feet onto
the bed, because he felt he was being asked to. Voldemort flicked
the covers over him and reached over, encouraging him to lie down.
Draco lay on his back perfectly rigid and still, but Voldemort put his
arm over him and hugged him.
'You feel calmer now Draco.' Voldemort whispered. 'Are you alright?'
He kissed Draco's neck gently and slipped his other arm under him,
so that he held him completely.
It was easier to turn towards him. It was easier to bury his face in
Voldemort's shoulder. It was easier to drape his arm over Voldemort
and rest his hand on his back. It was easier to put his lips against
Voldemort's naked chest and whisper,
'I'm ok.' In a soft and gentle voice. It was easier to kiss him after he
spoke. It was easier to feel the warmth of the embrace and the
weight of the bed clothes pulling him into a deep sleep. It was just
easier.
Chapter 9
Falling asleep in someone's arms is an emotionally overwhelming
experience, particularly when you do it for the first time, and
particularly when you have just lost your virginity to them. It's easy to
find yourself accidently feeling all sorts of things you never meant to
feel for them. You might almost want them to do something unkind to
you, so that you can go back to hating them, like you know you
should.
Voldemort grabbed his arms and pinned him down to the bed.
'Please… stop, please. It hurts! Please stop.' Draco sobbed, his face
wet with tears.
Voldemort had heard words like this all too often, and this was not
what he wanted from Draco. It made him angry. He raised his hand
and slapped Draco hard across the face.
'Shut Up!' He shouted at him. 'Tell me you want me, or just shut up!'
Draco was taken aback by the slap, it hurt, but took his mind off the
other pain for a moment and he was almost grateful.
'Damn you to hell!' He shouted back at Voldemort. 'I won't tell you I
want you, I asked you to stop, you bastard!'
'Nice one.' He thought. ' A one way ticket to a slow and painful death
is what you've just earned yourself!' But he could not override the
anger he felt.
Voldemort was so utterly taken a back he actually did stop still for a
moment. What had Draco just said?
Draco took the chance to dig his fingernails into Voldemort's wrists,
hard enough to draw blood. Voldemort flinched in pain, his eyes
widened and his mouth fell open in shock. But Draco read another
emotion from him in this window of opportunity. Regret. And a desire
for things to be how they had been before.
'What's the matter?' He said coolly, 'I thought you liked to play
rough?'
Crazy with anger and lust, Voldemort dived down onto Draco and
began to kiss him hard. Draco took hold of him roughly as Voldemort
began to fuck him again, harder than ever before. Draco fought
against him with his hands, but kissed him deeply as they wrestled
each other.
Voldemort must have conceded to let Draco push him, as Draco was
not strong enough to have done it himself. Draco found that he had
pushed Voldemort onto his back and Draco climbed on top of him.
He felt a little unsure of what to do now because he hadn't imagined
them being in this position, neither had Voldemort. Until now,
Voldemort had been in complete control of everything that had taken
place, the way this was playing out was quite unexpected, but not
unwelcome. He looked up a Draco, who looked exhilarated and
flushed from their fight.
'You want to ride me, Draco, you little slut?' He laughed aggressively
at the way Draco was straddling him.
'Fuck, yes!' Hissed Draco. He reached for Voldemort's cock and
pushed it against his entrance. He pushed back hard onto him.
Draco had expected pain, but lust had taken over him and he didn't
care about pain now. He took the whole length and began to work
his hips back and forth. He flicked his hair back and gasped in
ecstasy as he felt the now welcome sensation of Voldemort inside
him. He rode his cock like he was born to do it.
Panting, Draco climbed off and lay beside Voldemort, who reached
for his wand.
'OK, now he's going to kill you.' Draco thought. But instead,
Voldemort simply uttered a cleaning charm over himself and Draco,
before putting his wand safely away.
Later Draco would tell himself 'It happened in the middle of the night,
perhaps it was a dream…?'
Chapter 10
'Just get out! Go, and bring breakfast. And a healing potion. And
don't EVER walk in here without knocking, EVER again if you value
your life!'
Draco lifted his head from the pillow, he was almost completely
covered with the duvet. He often slept like that, wrapped up in the
blanket, even his head. It made him feel safe.
Voldemort was sitting up in the bed, he had clearly been awake for
some time and had let Draco sleep. Draco looked up at him,
ashamed and frightened. Draco felt very, very awkward. What was
the etiquette for this situation? It was not one of the social scenarios
his parents had ever taught him about.
'Go and splash some water on your face, it will help you wake up.'
He told him.
'Perhaps you always look so dazed and confused first thing in the
morning?' Voldemort's smile had a sharp sting to it, but he gently
stroked Draco's face as he spoke. Draco flinched a little, mostly
because it was unexpected.
Just then, the door flew open, and they both to looked up sharply.
The man Draco had heard Voldemort speaking to before had
returned with a tray in his hands. Draco did not know who he was,
this rodent-featured man. He looked like a servant, someone lowly
and dirty. But no matter how lowly he might be, he was now a
witness to Draco's current circumstances, and that gave him power
over Draco, as Draco did not want anybody to know about this.
Draco hung his head and stared down at the sheets to avoid eye
contact. He knew the man was staring at him, he could feel it. Was
Draco one of many companions the Dark Lord shared his bed with?
Was this servant staring simply to get a look at the latest conquest?
Perhaps there was a different one every night? Surely Voldemort
didn't do this every night, and by day have the energy to plan a
military campaign for world domination?
The servant scuttled over with the breakfast tray and set it down on a
small table at the side of the bed.
A flash of light sent the servant flying across the room. He hit the
wall and crumpled to the floor. Draco looked at Voldemort, who had
his wand drawn, his face clouded with fury.
'Touch him again, Wormtail, and I'll torture you until you forget your
own name, you wretched piece of scum.' Voldemort spat, his voice
angry, but just cool enough to let Wormtail know this was no empty
threat.
Voldemort put his wand down and turned to Draco, once more calm
and composed.
'It's perfectly safe, love!' Voldemort smiled and drank some himself to
prove it.
Draco almost wanted to laugh, the way people do when they are
nervous and know they shouldn't. This was, without doubt the
strangest situation he had ever been in. Having breakfast in bed with
Lord Voldemort? How had this happened? And why was breakfast
stranger and more uncomfortable than sex? Sex was animalistic,
Draco could claim some degree of mindlessness, some loss of
control over his actions, but this, this was something else entirely.
This was civilised. This was the sort of thing normal people did.
Voldemort was not a normal person. Draco had been once, but he
was pretty sure he wasn't now. Somehow he managed to eat half a
slice of toast.
'No, thank you.' Draco replied, the one piece had been hard enough
work. Draco did accept more tea, however.
'Drink it, Draco.' Voldemort insisted. 'I can't very well take you home
looking like that, now can I?'
Voldemort smiled at him. 'I'm afraid you can't stay here permanently
love. You have to go back to school, don't you?' How touching, he
thought, that Draco wanted to stay with him.
'I think we will shower before I take you home.' Said Voldemort
decidedly, and he got up, took Draco's hands and lead him to the
bathroom.
Chapter 11
The bathroom had been a clean, white, safe place. Now Voldemort
was there with Draco, It didn't feel so clean and safe anymore, the
atmosphere prickled with anticipation. Draco felt nervous. Voldemort
reached into the large shower cubicle at the far end and turned the
old brass handle to start the water.
Draco watched him. Clearly they were going to shower together, but
then Draco was going home. He was going home, alive and well.
Reasonably well, depending on what happened next, and as well as
could be expected after what had already happened. He was
amazed at his own resilience. All that mattered was that he WAS
going home, he WOULD be going back to school. He had done what
he had done, but seemingly he would walk away and have a normal
life. He felt like he had cheated at something but was getting away
with it. What happened now didn't matter.
' Gods, he's really muscular!' Thought Draco to himself. 'I wonder if
he works out…?' It seemed unlikely and Draco gave an
embarrassed little laugh as he thought it… ' Lord Voldemort, working
out, really?'
Voldemort noticed Draco's cute, shy giggle. Draco was probably still
nervous about seeing him naked! He loosened Draco's dressing
gown and slipped his hands underneath, running them over Draco's
thighs and hips. Draco put his arms around Voldemort's waist and
when Voldemort kissed him, he welcomed his lips and kissed back
with just the perfect pressure. Draco was going to play his cards right
if it meant going home! He slipped out of the dressing gown and
allowed Voldemort to lead him into the shower.
'Just get through this and it'll be ok.' Draco told himself. 'Just do
whatever he wants now, and soon you'll be home. By mid-day, you'll
be home and it will all be over and you will be ok. It won't be too bad,
you have done it before and it wasn't as bad as you thought…'
Although the healing potion had done its job well, the heat and the
pressure of the shower was still most welcome and Draco sighed as
he felt his muscles relax a little. Voldemort stood behind Draco,
lathering up some soap. He began to wash Draco's back and
shoulders, his strong hands working into the tightness of Draco's
muscles, helping him relax further. The massage felt good, great
actually. The soap smelled very different to the soap that Draco used
at home. This soap smelled, musky, deep and woody, it was the way
Voldemort always smelled.
Draco turned to face Voldemort and pressed his body against him.
The heat, the water, the soap made it all too much of a turn on as
their naked bodies touched. They kissed hungrily, with deep
passionate kisses and slow, firm caresses. Voldemort stood back,
hands on Draco's shoulders, to look at him.
His hands caressed Draco's hair, teased over his neck and his face.
His fingers massaged his head and from time to time, he brushed his
lips lightly over Draco's mouth, all the while, the warm water still
falling over their naked bodies, the room full of steam. He cradled the
back of Draco's head in his hands as he worked the shampoo
through his blond hair. Draco felt himself melting.
'When I came to your room that night, I told you then I only wanted to
be nice to you.' Voldemort whispered. 'But you always are so afraid
of me.' He kissed him, running his tongue over Draco's lips, as the
shampoo ran down Draco's back.
'I am afraid of you.' Draco confessed, 'But I want you, too. Everything
you do, makes me want you more.'
'And I want you, little Draco Malfoy.' Said Voldemort with a smile as
he thrust his hips against Draco's erect cock. He put his lips to
Draco's neck and kissed him softly before deepening the kiss to an
intense bite which made Draco gasp and have to hold on tightly to
Voldemort to remain standing.
Voldemorts hands ran down Draco's back and over his ass, feeling
the curve of his cheeks. His fingers worked gently into Draco's ass
crack and teased over his entrance, touching his ring lightly. Draco
pressed against Voldemort, pushing their soapy cocks together.
Voldemort pushed the tip of one finger into Draco, who was ready to
welcome this intrusion and sighed with pleasure.
'Fuck, that's good!' He whispered. 'Don't stop ' He bucked his hips
back hard. 'Need more!'
'Gods, yes!' Draco cried, quiet uninhibited now. 'Fuck, I want you so
bad! Fuck me, just fuck me now.'
'Dirty…?' Voldemort offered. 'I bought you in here to get you clean!'
'You turn me on, so much!' Draco cried. 'I want you so much!'
Taking hold of Draco's hips, he drove hard into him. The soap and
the water made penetration easier, but the wetness of Draco's skin
meant that he had to grip him hard, creating fresh bruises where the
old ones had healed. Draco cried out with pleasure as he got what
he needed.
'My gods!' Draco gasped. 'My gods, you fuck so good!' He could feel
his body building up towards an overpowering climax. 'You feel
amazing!'
'Gods, you love it, don't you, you dirty little slut?' Voldemort hissed,
his own climax approaching, but he was determined to hold on as
long as he could, wanting to get Draco there and feel him come
while he fucked him.
'Yes, I fucking love it!' Draco cried. 'Oh gods, yes!'
'You like that, Draco? Then come for me, sweetheart.' He drawled as
he pumped him with deep forceful thrusts.
'Oh fuck, yeah…' Moaned Draco and he felt his body jolt violently as
he came hard, spraying his come down the wall in front of him.
Voldemort hadn't even touched his cock this time, he had made
Draco come purely by fucking him in the ass, and 'Gods!' Draco
thought, 'It felt incredible!'
Feeling Draco come like that had been enough for Voldemort, and
he came mere moments afterwards, flooding Draco with fluid.
Draco's knees had almost given way, he was pressed against the
wall, it was the only thing keeping him standing. He panted for breath
as Voldemort drew out of him. Draco turned to look at him, leaning
his back against the wall, he felt he still needed it to remain upright.
Voldemort extended his hands to Draco, who took hold of them and
Voldemort pulled him forward into an embrace.
Draco rested his head against Voldemort's chest and closed his eyes
as Voldemort stroked his back. They both sighed deeply and smiled
as they held each other. It was affectionate. Affection was still more
uncomfortable than sex, but Draco felt he was probably in too deep
at this precise moment to worry about it. He nuzzled his face into
Voldemort's skin and kissed him. Voldemort hugged him tightly and
kissed the top of Draco's head.
Voldemort looked at him, and stroked his hair, with a smile. Draco
looked up at the manor. He was home, he was safe. He turned to
Voldemort.
The right answer was 'for bringing me home' . The wrong answer
was 'for everything.' Draco said nothing. He didn't need to, Voldemort
knew what he meant.
'I will see you again, when I can, Draco.' He assured him.
'You will?' Asked Draco, excited and scared. What was this thing that
was happening to him?
'You are mine now, Draco.' Voldemort said, there was a warning in it.
'I am yours.' Draco echoed, trying to work out what this meant, and
feeling horrified at how comforted he felt by it.
'My Parents!' Though Draco, steadying his mind, he ran to the front
door.
Spinks, the house elf opened the door, his eyes widened instantly
when he saw Draco!
Draco heard his mother shriek and he heard his parents running to
the front door. The pushed the house elf out of the way and both fell
onto their son, hugging him and sobbing, his mother kissing him
repeatedly.
'Draco! Oh Draco! You're alive! Thank the Gods! You're alive!' She
cried.
His parents looked around nervously and pulled Draco back into the
house, shutting the door behind them. Narcissa lead Draco to the
drawing room and sat down with him on the couch. She clutched him
to her and sobbed. Lucius stood behind them, his hands resting on
their shoulders. Draco glanced up at him. His eyes were shadowed
and reddened. He had not slept and he had been crying.
Tears rolled down Narcissa's face and into Draco's hair as she held
him.
Draco did not cry. He did not deserve to. Guilt ripped through him,
causing him physical pain. He had no right to cry. He had no right to
any emotions at all.
'I'm alright.' Said Draco in a resolved tone. 'I'm alright, I'm not hurt,
I'm ok.'
Draco glanced up and saw Spinks in the doorway, tears rolling down
his cheeks too, from his big, wide eyes. 'You don't deserve all
these people to care about you!' The voice in his head had started
already, Draco thought he had better just get used to it.
'No thank you.' Said Draco. He didn't tell them he had eaten already,
how would he explain that? He could not explain any of it to them.
His parents usually so composed and dignified, looked like two
broken people and it was all his fault.
'Oh Draco, darling, are you sure you're alright, you're not hurt?'
Narcissa looked at him critically and with great concern.
'May I come in?' His mother had asked, standing at his bedroom
door. Draco was laying in bed starting at the ceiling, his body aching,
his mind numb.
Narcissa carried a book in her hands and she walked over to the
bed.
'Don't get up, darling.' She said gently as she sat beside him. Draco
looked at the book and his heart froze. It was a book of children's
stories, his mother used to read them to him when he was little. He
didn't know the book was still in the house, he hadn't seen it for
probably 8 years or more.
'I, I thought I could read to you.' Narcissa said, he voice shaky. 'I
could read the one about the dragon. It, it was your f-favourite…'
If anything was going to break Draco, it would have been this. This,
he could not cope with. He sat up, turning his face away in case his
eyes filled with tears.
Narcissa did not ask again. 'May I sit with you then?' She asked.
'Lay back down, darling.' She said, and she sat beside him on the
bed stroking his hair softly.
She read the dragon story in a whisper after Draco had gone to
sleep.
Chapter 14
Some people, when they have slept with someone, miss them
dreadfully when they are first apart, and then get used to being along
again and feel more and more alright as time passes. For others, it's
as if sex is a drug. They have had a fix which sustains them for a
time, but as the drug fades from their system, they feel worse and
worse, and desperately need it again. In their own way, both Draco
and Voldemort fell into the second category.
'He's taken it well.' Lucius remarked, and then wished to the Gods
he's found a different phrase to use.
The school term started as usual. Except for that Umbridge woman
being in school and throwing her ample weight around on behalf of
the ministry. She was inspecting lessons and dragging the teachers
over the coals, ' providing some trivial amusement in class, at least',
thought Draco.
Then there was Potter, crowing on about the Dark Lord returning.
Draco could have done without that quite frankly. Fortunately, the
Daily Prophet seemed to have turned against Prince-Potter over the
summer and were now billing him as 'The Boy Who Lies'. Draco
enjoyed seeing him taken down a peg or two, but he was still
hellishly annoying. He had turned into a real teenager over the
summer and was flouncing about the castle, drawing attention to
himself at every turn. 'Does it ever occur to the stupid git that other
people might have stuff going on too…?' Draco brooded. He felt
every bit like flouncing and sulking, but prided himself on more self
control, at least while he was awake.
Night times were different, however. It was about 3 weeks into term
when it started. Draco had had nightmares before, but not like this.
Wednesday night was the 3rd in a row he had woken up screaming,
dripping with sweat. Blaise was at his side instantly, holding him
tightly.
'Malfoy! Malfoy! It's ok! You were dreaming' He hugged him and
rocked him gently back and forth.
'It's not his fault!' Snapped Blaise defensively. He was being very
caring and considerate of Draco. Draco suspected it was because he
felt guilty.
The majority of the dorm had turned over and gone back to sleep,
but Blaise, the loyal friend, stayed with Draco.
'I said I'm sorry, ok?' Draco snapped. Blaise sighed, he was familiar
with defensive Draco.
'I mean for YOUR SELF, not for anyone else, idiot. And don't take
that tone with me, we're past that!'
'What's the dream about?' Blaise asked. 'It sometimes helps to talk
about it…'
There was no way Draco could talk about it. How would that
conversation go… 'Well, you know how Potter swears the Dark Lord
has returned? He's telling the truth for once, the Dark Lord has
returned, he's been at my house for most of the summer. My parents
told me to stay out of the way, but I was too stupid to listen. Anyway,
seems he liked the look of me because a few days later he appeared
in my room with only one thing on his mind, and then again days
later in my father's study… Then he took me to his house and fucked
me all night long. We had breakfast together and he took me home,
but he says I'm his now. I thought I could handle it, but now I'm
having nightmares about his hands all over me, about him hurting
me and fucking me. I scream because it frightens me and I scream
because he's really, really good . I'm frightened because I can't say
'No' to him and even more frightened because I don't want to say no
to him.'
Blaise eyed him cynically. 'OK. But tomorrow we are going to Madam
Pomfrey to get a sleeping draft to help you. Draco nodded, there was
no point arguing.
'But you gave some to Potter last year after the tournament!' Blaise
almost shouted. As arrogant as he was handsome, he sometimes
forgot when he was talking to staff that he was expected to mind his
manners.
'I think Draco needs the potion, Sir. He can't say what the dreams
are about, but it sounds like something pretty traumatic to me, I think
he deserves some help!' Blaise continued.
'I am sure Mr Malfoy is able to speak for himself.' Snape said softly.
'Mr Malfoy? You cannot say what the dreams are about?'
'No.' Said Draco immediately. 'I mean, No, Sir. I don't really
remember them when I wake up, Sir.'
Snape sighed.
Alone in the room with Snape, Draco's blood ran cold. No-one at
Hogwarts knew… or did they?
Snape turned away from Draco, his face was weary and sad.
Wormtail had not been discreet. The very same day he has seen
Draco with Voldemort, he had made a point of mentioning it to as
many of the Death Eaters as he came into contact with. It seemed to
make him more popular among his peers, having some juicy,
firsthand gossip to share.
Lucius Malfoy was not well liked by his fellow Death Eaters, because
he was arrogant and thought himself higher up in Voldemort's
esteem than the others. They revelled in the news that the Dark Lord
was fucking Lucius Malfoy's son. They embellished the tale…
'Wormtail had seen the boy naked and chained to the bed.' 'Wormtail
had walked in on Draco sucking the Dark Lord off' 'Wormtail had
walked in on the Dark Lord buggering Draco while Draco screamed
for mercy… No, Draco was screaming for MORE!'
They enjoyed the different versions of the story and made sure to
talk about it loudly in Lucius's earshot. Snape had hoped it was not
true, but suspected it was. This business about the nightmares
seemed to confirm it.
'It will help heal you from the damage caused by lack of sleep.'
Snape told him. 'Now drink it.' Draco did as he was told, and he did
feel a little better for it.
'Thank you.' He said quietly.
'I will brew you a Dreamless Sleep draft which I can have ready for
tonight.' Snape told him.
'Yes, Professor?'
'Thank you.' Said Draco stiffly. Snape knew. Draco wanted to die of
shame.
Chapter 15
Draco was sleeping better, thanks to the Dreamless Sleep potion. He
was keeping up appearances around school. Laughing with his
friends as Umbridge interrogated the teachers. If she got any more
powerful, Draco would have to start working a bit harder at
ingratiating himself to her, he wanted to make sure his life didn't get
any more difficult in school. Post was being checked, but somehow
he was still able to get cigarettes and Fire-whisky in from time to
time. Umbridge knew Draco's father, Draco believed they were on
good terms, and was grateful as it made his subtle rule breaking
easier. He was smoking more, and drinking more. Blaise noticed,
and was concerned. Other people noticed and swooned over Draco-
the-bad-boy.
The problem with being a leader, is that it's very difficult to get rid of
people when you want time alone, and it seemed that every one of
Draco's friends was planning to go into Hogsmede with him. He had
to take evasive action. He got up early and left slightly before
everyone else, Umbridge had sanctioned him leaving early as he
had said he needed extra time to buy a birthday present for his
mother. Draco would have felt bad once upon a time about bringing
his mother into a lie, but this was so mild a lie in the scheme of lies
he had told recently that he hardly even noticed it.
Draco had merely a half hour start on his friends. He had left a note
for Blaise to say where he would be. By the time they came to meet
him Draco would have had a fair few drinks and he needed someone
to know where he was, to help him get back, if nothing else. He
headed straight to the pub.
He didn't need to curse anyone. Rosemata was not on the bar, it was
someone Draco did not recognise.
'You're not from the school, are you?' The young witch asked him
quizzically. Draco gave a silky smile.
He winked. She melted. Blushing, she poured him the double shot of
Fire-whisky she had asked for. He paid and tipped generously.
'Oh! Thanks!' She said, impressed by the tip, and the fact that this
gorgeous, rich young man was offering her a drink.
It had simply been a means to an end, Draco did not want her
company. Fortunately the bar was filling up now, so she had to go
and serve other people. He sipped the drink slowly, feeling the
soothing burn coursing through him. It hurt him, it was bad for him,
and it comforted him all at once. He resisted the urge to down the
drink in one go. When he wanted another, he simply caught the
barmaids eye, it wasn't hard as she looked at him every chance she
got. He gave her a smile and a flirtatious wave of his hand. She
bought the drink to him straight away, ignoring other customers who
had been waiting longer.
A dark, hooded figure had been sitting at the far end of the bar from
Draco, watching him intently. Draco had not noticed. The figure
beckoned the barmaid over, whispered something and handed her a
piece of folded parchment and some money. The figure then rose
slowly, looking to leave. Perplexed, the pretty young barmaid
approached Draco with a drink which he had not ordered.
'This is from the man in the cloak.' She said, handing it to him, 'And
he said to give you this.' She gave Draco the piece of parchment.
'That man…' She said looking around, 'He's just leaving.' She
pointed to the door. All Draco managed to see was the end of a
black cloak disappearing.
'It couldn't be!' Thought Draco… 'But who else would buy me Fire-
whiskey, and hide beneath a cloak, and leave without talking to me?
Snape, maybe, out of sympathy perhaps? But Snape was still up at
Hogwarts. It couldn't be Voldemort!' It would be a crazy risk to take to
come to Hogsmede like that, he wouldn't do it, Draco was sure.
'I didn't even see him.' Draco said. 'If he knew me I would have
thought he would have come to talk to me.' Draco wanted to look at
the parchment, it was clearly a note, but he wanted privacy. The girl,
however, did not leave. Draco's curiosity got the better of him, he
unfolded it.
'Talk about trying his luck!' The barmaid said with a smirk. 'Still, I can
imagine that kind of thing happens to you fairly often in the bars in
London?' She flirted.
Composing himself, knowing not to drop the act, he flicked his hair
back casually with a laugh.
'It's certainly not the first time…' He said coolly. He glanced at the
door.
'You're not going to go, are you?' Said the girl, horrified.
'What sort of a guy do you think I am?' Draco teased. 'It would take
far more than one drink to get me to hook up with an anonymous
stranger in an abandoned house!' The barmaid laughed.
'Oh, I won't think that!' She giggled. 'And if I did, next time I saw you I
would probably test the theory and send you a note myself!'
Draco kept his hand firmly on his wand all the way to the Shrieking
Shack. He had never been inside the place, it was supposed to be
haunted and that scared him. The ghosts at Hogwarts were one
thing, but others, he was not so sure about. However, it if was the
Dark Lord who has waiting for him, surely it wasn't ghosts he should
be worried about?
Draco could not escape the part of his brain that was hoping it was
Voldemort who had sent the note. He was hoping this for a myriad of
reasons, not least because the last thing he wanted to deal with was
an amorous stranger in an abandoned building. It was lucky that he
had had 6 shots of Fire-whiskey, which were giving him more than a
little Dutch courage.
Draco found that the door opened easily. Wand raised he walked in.
Although it was a grey and breezy autumn day, outside was bright
compared with inside the shack. Draco wanted to conjure the Lumos
charm, but did not want to draw unnecessary attention to himself. He
simply walked slowly, blinking as his eyes became accustomed to
the gloom.
There was an amused laugh from the shadows across the room.
Draco lowered his wand and sighed in relief, why, he could not really
explain. Surely this was the worst person in the world to be alone
with in the Shrieking Shack, but Draco was just relieved it was
someone he knew . 'What's wrong with me?' Thought Draco.
Voldemort advanced on him without another word and swept Draco
up off his feet. He was strong enough to pick Draco up and hold him,
Draco's legs wrapped around Voldemort's waist, Draco's hands
holding on to his shoulders. He pushed Draco against the wall,
making it easier to hold him and touch him as the wall took some of
his weight. In this position Draco was slightly above Voldemort and
had to lean down slightly to kiss him. Draco felt so powerless and
overwhelmed at being picked up like this, he simply melted into the
kiss, softly at first and then hungrily.
'I know you have, pet. I have missed you.' He thrust his hips upwards
and Draco could feel the evidence pressing against him through his
clothes.
'Fuck! Yes!' Draco gasped. 'My Gods, I've missed you so much!' He
reached his hands up above his head and gripped the wooden
picture rail which ran around the wall. This way he supported some
of his own weight, and Voldemort held him by his hips and could
work him up and down on his cock.
The wall was dusty and dirty, the room, dark, shadowy and full of
cobwebs and broken bits of furniture. It was a dark and secret world,
a little like the one that Draco lived in inside his own head these
days. It was strange to think that just outside the shack was
Hogsmede village, and people going about their everyday lives, the
school students shopping and laughing with their friends. The
crumbling walls of the shack were all that separated Draco from
them, walls which kept him held safely in the darkness of this
secluded world of forbidden lust.
Never in his life had Draco pictured being screwed like this, but it
had to be the hottest thing he could imagine. No talking first, no
foreplay, just swept off his feet, pushed against the wall and fucked.
Voldemort had complete control of him, and he loved being able to
let go of all responsibility for a while and just let it happen. He
worked so hard to behave how people wanted. He kept his friends
orbiting him and hanging off his every word. He manipulated
teachers and pupils alike, he mastered his emotions in nearly every
waking moment. It was hard work. This was what he needed, this
had become what he craved. He longed for these moments of
powerlessness when Voldemort would take him. When he would
take control and Draco could stop being in charge for a while and
just be fucked, just be really fucked.
'You feel incredible, you are such a great fuck! Gods! You are so hot!'
Draco breathed.
'Oh! So now there's a bed?' Said Draco playfully, rubbing his back,
which was grazed and bruised from the pressure of the wall. Really,
he wouldn't have had it any other way!
The bed was dusty and rickety. It was the same bed that Snape had
been blasted unconscious onto when he faced Harry, Sirius and
Lupin. Draco raised a haughty eyebrow. It was filthy! Voldemort
rolled his eyes. He muttered a cleaning charm over the bed and in
seconds the sheets and blankets looked soft, clean and inviting.
'Yes, thank you.' Draco smiled, climbing in between the new clean
sheets. Voldemort wasted no time in joining him and in seconds they
were wrapped in each other's arms, kissing as though their lives
depended on it. It wasn't long before Draco felt Voldemort's cock stiff
against his hip. He was getting hard himself just thinking about his
next move.
When Voldemort came, Draco gratefully swallowed the lot, licking his
lips in a satisfied, sultry manner. Voldemort pulled him up into his
arms.
'I watched you in the bar…' Said Voldemort coolly. 'You were being
rather shamelessly charming to that barmaid. I do hope you're not
like that with everyone!' His tone was teasing but there was a note of
seriousness too, challenging Draco and telling him he'd better be
behaving himself!
'How have you been doing at school?' He asked casually. This was
surreal, Draco thought, but answered automatically.
'OK really. I was having nightmares when I first went back, but it's ok
now. Snape made me a Dreamless Sleep potion to help me.
'Did he?' Said Voldemort. 'I am glad Severus is looking out for you.'
'Not at all, love.' Voldemort said and Draco offered him one. He
accepted. He hadn't smoked in years. Draco passed him a lighter.
He breathed in the peppermint smoke. He liked it. It tasted like
Draco.
Draco lay in the bed, smoking, Voldemort's arm around him. He was
totally relaxed. He had not expected the day to go this way, but hell,
he was glad it had. School was forgotten about, everything was
forgotten apart from this, right now.
'Oh?' Said Draco tauntingly. 'I'm not old enough for lots of things,
technically…' and he leaned over and kissed Voldemort teasingly.
'Fuck! This is wrong! This isn't even just sex. This is flirting. This is
like, well… I don't know what it's like, but I know it's wrong on every
level and I'm totally fucked!'
'You really have to get back to school, Draco.' Voldemort said gently.
'Shit!' Thought Voldemort. He really did not know how to deal with a
drunk Draco Malfoy right now. What should he do? Other than
summon Snape to take Draco back to school, what could he do? He
didn't want to call Snape, that would be deeply humiliating and not
very evil overlord-ish…
'My fault, love.' Voldemort said. 'But we need to get you back to
school.'
'Want to stay with you.' The drunken Draco whispered and flung his
arms around Voldemort's waist. Voldemort sighed and hugged him.
Maybe he should just take Draco with him… but then there would be
a huge drama and an enquiry as to why Draco Malfoy had gone
missing from school…
'I wish you could.' Voldemort said. 'But you must go back. I will see
you soon, I promise you.'
'I will miss you.' Draco said earnestly as they walked. 'I will think
about you every day, and I will probably go crazy because of it.'
'I don't know where he bloody well is! I don't know what he's playing
at.' It was Blaise. Blaise, Pansy and Crabbe and Goyle.
'That's my friends!' Draco whispered excitedly and then sadly, 'I have
to go now, don't I, and… you, you can't meet them…' Just for a
moment, Voldemort felt like he should never have done this to
Draco.
'See you again soon, Draco.' He said and hid in the trees as Draco
stumbled forwards into the path of his friends. Voldemort made sure
Draco had been seen and safely collected by them before
disapparating away.
Chapter 16
'Malfoy!' Cried Blaise.
'Hello!' Said Draco, swaying on the spot. He was flushed, his hair
was matted, he smelled of drink and cigarettes and there were
purple marks all over his neck.
'What the fuck, Malfoy?' stammered Blaise, looking at the state of his
friend.
'What?' Said Draco incredulously. 'Have you all had a nice day?'
'Stand up Malfoy, I'm not carrying your ass back to school!' Blaise
said pulling him to his feet.
'We can't leave him, Gods only know what he'll do!' Pansy sighed.
She was relieved she was over her crush on Draco, otherwise the
love bites on his neck would have really pissed her off.
'Draco, why didn't you tell us you were hooking up with someone?
We could have arranged to meet you after and get you back. Don't
you trust us?' She asked.
'Trust you.' Said Draco matter-of-fact-ly. 'But can't tell anyone. Want
to sleep now.' He added, laying down across the desk.
'You have to help us, Sir!' Pansy spluttered. 'It's Draco, he's… well,
he's drunk sir. Really drunk.'
'We couldn't find him all day.' Blaise explained. 'We were about to
come back to school when he stumbled out of the woods in this
state.'
Snape looked at Draco, who was laying across the desk on his back
staring wide-eyed at the ceiling. He had tried to close his eyes but
that had made the room spin in a nauseating way, so he forced his
eyes open and stared at a crack in the stone work above him. He
looked dazed and confused and Snape instantly noticed the almost-
black bruises on his neck.
'Leave him with me.' Snape said after a silence. 'He can't be around
other people like this. I will give him a healing potion and in the
morning, and one to help with the hangover he will undoubtedly
have.'
'Thank you Professor.' Said Blaise. 'I really didn't want to have to
take him back to the common room like that.'
'Indeed.' Said Snape. 'Mr Malfoy is lucky to have friends like you
looking out for him.'
'You know…' He said, tilting his head on one side, 'When you say 'Mr
Malfoy' like that, I always imagine you are talking to my father, not to
me. If you called me Draco I would know you meant me. Draco,
Dray-Cohhh… easy!'
'If I were talking to your father I would call him Lucius.' Snape told
him.
'Then you really should call me Draco, shouldn't you?' Draco grinned
and swayed a little.
'Draco?'
'Mmmmmm… Yes?'
'I don't think I can professor.' Draco said earnestly. 'I'm sorry.'
'It's not that I don't want to tell you!' Draco said, reaching over and
clasping Snape's hands, worried he had upset his favourite teacher.
'It's just that I don't think I should. It would be bad to tell you, and I
like you, I really do!'
'Do you need a healing potion, Draco? Are you injured?' Snape did
not want to think about what injuries Draco might have that he could
not see…
'Quite sure.' Smiled Draco. 'I'm tired though, I could sleep for a week,
professor!' Draco offered enthusiastically. Snape squirmed inside a
little.
'Well you can't go back to the dormitory like this.' Snape said. 'You
will have to stay here. We want to keep this little 'incident' as quiet as
possible.'
'OK.' Said Draco. 'I don't want to lose points for Slytherin if anyone
sees me. I can sleep on this desk.'
'You most certainly cannot.' Said Snape firmly. 'You could get into all
sorts of trouble in a potions classroom in this state! You will have to
sleep in my rooms where I can keep an eye on you.' Surely one of
the top 10 sentences Snape thought he would never say to a
student!
The room began to spin as he tried to take a step forward but the
ground seemed to fall away from his feet… Snape was there in
seconds to catch him. Snape flung himself to the ground just in time
and Draco fell into his arms and dissolved into giggles. Draco felt
utterly delirious, as though he was in a dream and nothing was real.
He wished he felt like this more often.
'I'll carry you.' Snape sighed, and he picked up the dead weight
Draco in his arms and carried him towards his bedroom.
Snape gently lowered Draco onto the bed, removed his shoes and
began to remove his jacket. He would loosen the boys shirt too, but
that was all! He was not prepared to have a naked student in his
bed, that was unthinkable! As he began to undo the top buttons of
Draco's shirt, Draco gently reached up and stoked his hand over
Snape's black hair…
Snape generally didn't swing that way nowadays, but if he did, it just
might have been for Draco Malfoy. He looked at the boy and
remembered the raging crush he had had on Lucius when he was 18
and Lucius was 24. Draco was even more attractive than his father
had been, his features softer and his eyes a deeper shade of twilight
gray. Draco was so vulnerable and so accessible right now. It would
be easy, it would be SO easy. The boy had been fucked all
afternoon, he'd be well prepared for it… Fuck, he was probably still
wet with Voldemort's come… It would be easy to strip him naked and
shag him for all he was worth, and Draco would probably not even
remember in the morning. Draco had clearly been buggered by the
Dark Lord all afternoon, really how much damage could Snape do to
him?
'I may have done a lot of bad things in my life, Draco.' Snape began,
'But taking advantage of 15 year old school boys is not one of them.
And I can state categorically that it NEVER will be. You are SAFE
with me, Draco.'
Draco tilted his head and frowned, thinking about it, and then after a
second he smiled.
Harry, Fred and George jumped up and crowded around Ron. Ron,
Hermione, Harry, Fred and George were the only people remaining
in the common room. The friends had all been consoling Harry after
his latest Umbridge detention. This revelation Ron had spotted on
the map was, momentarily, a welcome distraction.
'I'd always had him down as a ponce…' said Fred, 'But he's a good
looking one…' He spoke to the map 'Honestly Malfoy, you could do
better!'
'Yeah…' George joined in… 'Wait till your father hears about this!' He
said in a haughty voice. Ron and Fred collapsed with laughter.
'How do you know?' Said Ron, 'How does she always know stuff?'
Hermione sighed.
'Yeah, they actually would!' Said Ron. 'I bet he'd still call him 'Mr
Malfoy' in bed!'
At some point during the night, Snape had bought Draco a glass of
water and placed it by the bed. Then he had sat beside Draco,
reading a book, so that he could make sure Draco didn't try to get up
and do anything stupid. But at some point in the night he had fallen
asleep. At some point in the night, Draco's temperature had risen
and he had somehow worked his way out of his shirt and trousers,
and now slept only in his underwear. He had tossed back the covers
too, which was not his usual way of sleeping, but the covers had
been irritating him.
'No, Draco, we most certainly did not. Your friends bought you here
because you were too incredibly drunk to be allowed to wonder
around the castle unsupervised. I allowed you to sleep here so that
you would not be seen by anyone else. I have been awake all night
keeping an eye on you to make sure you were ok.' Snape told him
flatly. He realised he had sounded cold with this statement and
remembered the reason Draco needed a healing potion. 'Nothing
else would have ever happened, Draco. You are my student. I both
respect and care for you.'
'How are you feeling, Mr Malfoy?' Snape asked, back to his usual
formalities.
'Like I want to die.' Replied Draco. He was possibly still a little drunk,
but oh so aware of the pain now. The pain of his hangover was
predominant, although he did feel a bit like he had been beaten up
too.
' What did we say to each other? Why did Voldemort taken such a
risk to see me? What the hell are we doing? Why is it ' we' now? Am
I kidding myself these days that it is 'we?' That I have any say in the
matter whatsoever? How the hell has this happened to me? How
have I fallen so far from grace and become this delusional,
desperate whore…?'
'I, I still want to die.' Draco stammered. 'I really, really want to die.' He
winced in pain, emotional pain. Snape sighed.
'I'm afraid there's not a potion for that.' He said softly and sat beside
Draco, who was fighting back tears. Without thinking, Snape
wrapped his arms around Draco and pulled him close.
Rumours were flying around the castle. Draco Malfoy had a drink
problem. Draco Malfoy was on drugs. Draco Malfoy was going off
the rails. Draco Malfoy was a poor sensitive boy who needed some
love and understanding. Draco Malfoy had got in with a bad crowd
over the summer. Draco Malfoy had a really bad-ass older boyfriend
who was a bad influence on him… Funnily, no one speculated
'girlfriend', Draco was shocked it was so obvious, but he had bigger
things to deny and lie about these days.
All in all, Draco was a legend overnight. Even the rumours he had
spent the night in Snape's room caused great excitement. Was
Snape the older boyfriend? The gossip mongers were having a field
day.
'Course I have a drink every now and again. This place is so boring
you have to get completely wasted from time to time. I don't regret it,
not like it's a big deal.' The girls, and some of the boys swooned.
'Well, he's definitely gay, isn't he? We know that now for sure.' Pansy
had said.
'We do? How?' Said Blaise, a little uncomfortable. He had known for
ages, of course.
'Did you see the state of him?' Pansy replied. 'No way did a girl do
that!'
'I don't know…' Said Blaise. 'There was a time you would have had a
bloody good try!' He winked at her!
'Shut up!' She snapped. 'No, I mean, whoever he was with was
strong, stronger than Draco and liked to play rough. Draco might be
thin, but he's pretty tough really. It must have been a man, and I'd
say someone older, bigger than him, you know?' There was some
logic in this, Blaise thought.
'I don't know, but it's not good that he won't tell anyone.' She
brooded. 'Makes me worried it's someone he shouldn't be with…'
'I must admit, I'm surprised he likes it so rough! ' Blaise thought
aloud.
'Oh Blaise! You don't think… You don't think he was…' She didn't
want to say it.
'Forced into it?' Blaise offered, not wanting to say it either. Pansy
nodded.
'No.' Said Blaise. 'No, no way. Not Malfoy. He's a competent wizard,
he can stand up for himself, I reckon. Besides I know he was drunk,
but he did seem pretty happy about what he'd been doing, didn't he?'
'I guess.' Said Pansy a little reassured. 'Oh Gods!' She exclaimed
'You know how Potter said the Dark Lord had returned and was
gathering followers?' She whispered.
'Yeah…'
'Well, Draco's Dad was one of them once, what if they have been
meeting at Draco's house? Seriously, I bet it's one of the Death
Eaters. Oh Blaise, I'm sure of it!'
Blaise though Pansy was letting her imagination run away with her.
'I doubt it Pans.' He said, but she had made up her mind.
It only added to his intrigue. Once upon a time, Draco would have
love to have everyone talk about him and stare at him in wonder as
he walked by, but really now, he just wanted to keep under the radar.
But everyone, literally everyone seemed to be taking notice of him.
Chapter 18
Draco kept himself out of trouble for the next couple of weeks, and
there was so much going on in school with Umbridges sadistic
detentions and new school rules, that people soon had other things
to talk about than Draco Malfoy's love life or drink problem. However,
interest was rekindled one morning over breakfast as the post
arrived and a particularly vicious black screech-owl swooped over
towards the Slytherin table with a package address to Draco.
'It's an owl, Pansy.' Said Draco sarcastically 'I know you don't get
them very often but I thought you'd at least recognise one!' Pansy
gave Draco a nasty look.
Draco did not recognise the owl, it was not one of his parents birds.
He was apprehensive to open the package around other people, as
he had no idea what was inside.
'Well open it then!' Pansy insisted and she reached to try and grab
the package… 'If you don't, I will!'
'OK, OK! Keep your hands to yourself!' Draco snapped and
tentatively he removed the brown paper. The Slytherins on the table
around him were now sitting in a hushed silence. Beneath the paper
was a black box with a gold filigree design embossed into it. The
leather was cracked and the box looked very old. It was about 7cm
squared and 3cm deep.
'I don't know yet!' Said Draco. Slowly he lifted the lid, keeping the
box close to his face and trying to obscure everyone else's view. He
was ready to snap it shut in an instant if he needed to.
Inside, the box was lined with black silk, and resting there was a
pendant on a silver chain. It was circular and very much like a native
American dream catcher charm, a circle with a fine web within it. In
the centre of the web was a deep green stone which seemed to have
black mist running through it. Beneath the circle hung silver charms,
a feather, a bone and a claw. The pendant seemed to whisper as the
box was opened and Draco felt a chill rush over him.
'It doesn't say who it's from!' Pansy cried. 'Do you know who sent it
Draco?'
'Lover, then if that's what you prefer to call him!' Said Pansy hotly.
'There's no point denying it, Draco. Look! You're blushing!'
'I am not!' Retorted Draco, 'It's just, you're all crowding me! Back off
a little!' People withdrew into their seats and tried to not stare quite
so obviously. Draco shut the box and put it in his pocket. He would
take it to his dormitory and lock it away safely eventually, but he
could keep it with him… for today, at least.
'What's the big fuss about over there?' Harry asked through a
mouthful of toast. Ron looked up from his bacon and eggs.
'Looks like Malfoy's got some kind of love token from his boyfriend.'
Ginny answered sounding completely indifferent about the scene
that was unfolding on the neighbouring table.
Harry laughed. The gift clearly wasn't what Ron had been about to
suggest, but it didn't stop Harry dwelling on the mental image when
he was alone that evening…
Draco kept the box in his pocket all day. Fascinated by it, he kept
reaching in to touch it and whenever he got a moment alone he
would take it out and look at it again.
Chapter 19
Draco did not take his Dreamless Sleep potion that night. Instead he
wore the pendant. It lulled him instantly into a deep, calm sleep. In
the morning however, he did wake up with a start. Red faced and out
of breath, but for quite a different reason to the cold sinister
nightmares he had been having. Embarrassed, he quickly uttered a
cleaning spell over his sheets before anyone else woke up.
Fortunately, wet dreams did not make him scream out loud the way
the nightmares had, so the other residents of the dormitory had not
been disturbed.
The nightmares had been sexual too, but the dreams he had when
wearing the charm were ecstatically hot. The nightmares had usually
been in a context which made them horrible. For example, the Dark
Lord would be undressing him in front of his parents, or in the great
hall at Hogwarts. In the nightmares, Draco was ashamed and
humiliated, but the sweet dreams offered by the necklace were
purely pleasurable. They were more like the afternoon in the
Shrieking Shack. Hot, forbidden, secret and lustful. Removed from
reality. As the weeks rolled on towards Christmas, Draco wore the
pendant nearly every night as it gave him a fix of what he craved.
'When will I see him? Will I see him? What if he's got bored of me?
Wait, isn't that what I should want to happen?'
The night was dark and stormy and his mother had come to pick him
up from the station, wrapped in a thick fur cloak. She hugged him
tightly and kissed him while they were still on the platform, a little
more demonstratively than in previous years. On the way to the
manor she asked all about school, how Draco's classes were going,
about his friends, about his teachers, anything to avoid Draco asking
about life at home, he suspected. Draco didn't mind too much, it was
the most normal conversation he had had with his mother since the
night Voldemort had taken him from the manor. He enjoyed her
talking to him again as though he was a normal person. However, it
was short lived.
'It's ok, Mother.' Draco said calmly, he was tired after the journey
home and couldn't cope with his parents being hysterical right now.
He didn't know if it was ok, if Voldemort had decided he was bored
of Draco, he might just kill him to get rid of him, but honestly, Draco
would face that over his emotional parents any day. Their distress in
the summer had been too much to handle.
The room was lit by firelight only and Voldemort sat in a large green
leather armchair beside the fire.
'My Lord.' Said Draco, smiling, reading from the tone of his voice that
he probably wasn't going to kill him. Voldemort extended his hands
and Draco rushed over to him. Voldemort pulled Draco on top of him
so that he straddled him in the huge chair.
'Yes.' Said Draco simply and kissed him more deeply as he began to
grind his crotch against Voldemorts lap.
'What am I doing?' Draco thought. 'He didn't even ask me this time, I
just went to him… but I'm so frustrated, I had all those dreams about
it… and I know the reason he's here… There would be no point
pretending otherwise, would there?'
Draco shamelessly draping himself over his lap was turning
Voldemort on. He really liked insatiable Draco. He had been fairly
sure that the dreams provided by the necklace would have kept
Draco feeling turned on to him, it seemed to have worked.
Encouraged by feeling the Dark Lords cock getting hard beneath
him, Draco thrust against him more wantonly. Voldemort was very
pleased with Draco, but he was resolved to make him work for it this
evening.
'Get on your knees and suck me, I have so missed your pretty
mouth.' Voldemort traced his fingers over Draco's lips and he spoke.
Voldemort had watched Draco intently, and basked in the sight of the
beautiful boy, still in his school uniform, sucking him and teasing his
dick with enthusiasm. He was half moaning half growling with
pleasure when Draco finally took more of his length and began to
work back and forth. Draco's mouth was deliciously warm and wet.
Voldemort began to thrust his hips and push his dick deeper into
Draco, forcing Draco to relax his throat and take the full length.
Voldemort could easily have fucked Draco's pretty face like this until
he came, but he wanted to fuck Draco's ass too. It had been such a
long time!
He gently raised Draco's head to stop him before it was too late. His
cock throbbed desperately, missing Draco's mouth instantly.
'Take your trousers off, Draco.' Voldemort said. 'But keep your shirt
and tie on, I like you like that.'
'Pervert!' Thought Draco, who had forgotten until that point, that he
was still in his Hogwarts uniform. He removed his shoes, socks,
trousers and underwear.
Voldemort pointed to the rug in front of the fire. 'Get on your hands
and knees.' He commanded and Draco obeyed. Voldemort cast a
lubrication charm over his cock, he gently spread Draco's ass
cheeks and cast another right into Draco's tight hole. Draco jumped
as he felt the magic of the charm tingling inside him and he
whimpered in pleasure and anticipation.
Draco cried out a little louder that he would have liked as Voldemort
breached him. He hoped to the Gods that no one had heard him.
'You can take it, Draco, love.' Voldemort whispered and he slipped
his length inside, causing Draco to whimper in pain. 'You love it,
remember?' He encouraged.
'Yes.' Draco struggled to say, half sobbing. It had been a long time,
and he had forgotten just how large Voldemort was. But he reminded
himself that this would become pleasurable once Voldemort reached
his…
'I want you to move, Draco.' He hissed. 'I want to fuck yourself on
my cock. I'm here for you, sweetheart, take all the pleasure you
need.'
'Fuck, that's dirty!' Draco thought and he had never felt hornier.
Voldemort sounded so sleazy when he said things like that, and
Draco hated to admit how much he loved it. He didn't need asking
twice…
Draco pushed back against Voldemort, taking the whole of his cock
inside him and writhing there as the head of it pushed on his
prostate. He bucked hard, before moving forward so that he worked
his way up Voldemort's length before sliding back down onto it again,
impaling himself there and grinding his hips.
'Ooooooh, yes!' He whispered, trying to keep as quiet as possible,
but it was difficult.
'You horny little slut!' Voldemort said coolly. He was keeping as calm
as he could, but was loving every minute that the desperate Draco
fucked himself on him. ' Gods! It was hot!'
In preparation for sex with his little Draco, he had, earlier that day,
fucked a young death eater to make sure he had relieved his
frustrations. He had chosen an attractive, young-ish man, with a wife
who was expecting their first child. Voldemort had requested to see
the man alone and had simply commanded him to pull down his
pants and bend over. Voldemort took him roughly. The man had
really tried his best not to scream… 'Tell me you love it!' The Dark
Lord had commanded. 'I… I love it… my, my Lord.' The man had
stammered choking on his sobs. ' Tell me this feels amazing, and I
had better believe you, or I will torture that pretty wife of yours!'
Voldemort had snapped at him.
Draco would have told him. Draco would have said he loved it. He
would have said Voldemort felt amazing, and that he wanted him so
much… Draco would not have needed to be told to say it. This
young man was an ungrateful bastard! Voldemort made a mental
note to send him on some impossible mission and get him killed as
soon as he could. The man made a few more feeble attempts at
saying the things he was told to. Voldemort thought back to the time
Draco had first begged to be fucked, and he came.
Draco was so much better than the others. Draco loved it, every
minute of it, Voldemort knew. He knew Draco had only tried to fight
at first because he had been brought up to behave in a virtuous way.
Draco had always been begging for it, Voldemort knew. Draco was
crazy about him.
'Do you ever think about me, Draco? Do you think about me when I
am not with you?'
'Yes, my Lord.' Said Draco softly. 'I think about you often.' He
breathed.
It was true, he did think about it. It often troubled him, but he
suspected this was not what the Dark Lord wanted to hear.
Sometimes it troubled him, other times… well, he suspected
Voldemort would rather hear about them.
'And what do you do when you think about it?' Voldemort asked with
a grin. Draco was embarrassed, but still caught up in the kinky thrill
he had had from pleasuring himself on Voldemort's cock, so he
answered…
'I touch myself. I get off when I think about you. I imagine you fucking
me and it makes me come.'
Slowly Draco moved his hand down over his stomach and lifted the
hem of his shirt so his cock was clearly visible. He brushed his hand
lightly over it.
Draco released his cock and cupped his balls, he gently pulled on
them and toyed with them.
Draco leaned forward and he reached his hand round to his ass. His
legs apart as he kneeled on the rug, he placed his index finger to his
own entrance.
'Here.' He whispered. 'Like this…' And he slipped his finger inside his
hole. Voldemort gasped audibly as Draco penetrated himself and
began to slip his finger in and out. Draco was gratified to hear that
Voldemort was hugely aroused by this. Draco had never imagined
letting anyone watch him do this, even if that person was fucking him
from time to time.
'I do this and I think about having you inside me. It's so much better
when I have you inside me!' Draco whispered playfully. Who would
have ever thought that having someone watch you masturbate would
be so much of a turn on?
Draco, at once grateful for his small and girlish hands, was able to
take a forth finger without too much discomfort. It felt good actually
and he gasped with pleasure.
Draco grazed his fingers over his own prostate and hissed with
pleasure. He was close, really close… He cried out and suddenly his
cock erupted and spurted his seed all over the rug beneath him.
'Oh, Fuck, Draco! Fuck that's hot!' Voldemort managed to say, his
voice shaking terribly.
Voldemort pulled him up to his knees and kissed him for all he was
worth. Draco really was crazy about him. Beautiful, haughty Draco
Malfoy, was crazy about him and crazy about sex too, pretty dirty
sex! He truly was the hottest little whore in all the world and
Voldemort was utterly thrilled with him.
Draco had been worried that stretching himself that much might have
had lasting effects, but up on his knees in the new position, he felt
like he was going back to normal. It was fortunate his hands were
small and slim, any more would have been too much!
'I will have to go, Draco love.' Voldemort sighed, 'I have people to
meet with tonight.' Draco turned to face him, caressed his face and
pouted a little, letting him know he didn't want him to leave. 'I'm sorry,
sweetheart.' Voldemort smiled.
'It should be ok… You sick little bastard! Your poor parents, you
don't think about them any more do you, you disgusting slut?…
No kinder voice spoke up for him this time. Either Draco no longer
had a nice side, or it had quite run out of ways to defend his
behaviour.
Lucius and Narcissa had retreated to the far side of the house as
they could not bear to overhear anything that happened in the
drawing room. Lucius had had several glasses of Fire-Whiskey and
gripped the crystal glass tightly, so tightly that he actually shattered it
in his hand, cursing under his breath and uttering a quick Repairo to
fix it. Narcissa stared out of the window into the black night.
Voldemort's plans had kept the death eaters working round the clock
these past few weeks, but they had still found the time an energy to
taunt Lucius and Narcissa about the fate of their son.
'At least we should all get some time off over Christmas,' one had
remarked. 'The Dark Lord will be busy fucking the Malfoy boy, won't
he!'
'Oh yeah, his little catamite will be home from school!' Said another.
'Tell your son to keep the Dark Lord thoroughly entertained, Lucius
will you? I could do with a break from work!'
'Oh, don't worry.' A third replied. 'I've heard that Draco fucks like a
bitch on heat, The Dark Lord probably won't leave the bedroom for 2
weeks!'
Lucius had cracked at that moment and drew his wand, pointing it at
the third man's face, his hand shaking with rage. The 3 death eaters
only laughed, Lucius wouldn't dare torture one of them without being
instructed to. Narcissa had dragged her husband away before he did
something they would both regret.
Draco could not face his parents after the scene in the drawing
room. He instructed Spinks the house elf, to tell them that The Dark
Lord had left and that Draco had gone to his room and would see
them in the morning. He also instructed the elf to bring him a healing
potion, a sleeping draft, and a bottle of Fire-Whiskey. These things in
places, he locked the door of his room, and took both potions
directly. He was asleep before he had time to start on the Fire-
Whiskey. Maybe he would have that for breakfast.
Chapter 20
The next morning, Draco had fought hard to package up the events
of last night and put them away in a place inside his mind which he
saved for that kind of thing. He needed to keep thoughts and
memories like that away from the rest of his life, otherwise he would
never be able to look anyone in the eye again.
He greeted them all coolly, and took Draco by the hand and lead
Draco up the stairs to his own bedroom while his parents watched in
disbelief. Draco was mortified and kept his eyes to the ground, but
Voldemort gave Lucius and Narcissa a gloating, sickly smile as they
headed for the stairs.
Lucius felt a surge of rage rip through him and he shook visibly as he
tried to control himself. Was it not enough that the Dark Lord was
intent to make a whore of their only son, and that he obviously
bragged about the details to the death eaters? Wasn't it cruel
enough of him to be so indiscreet that even Severus, Draco's
teacher for Gods sake, the hopeless boy who had once followed
Lucius around like a lap-dog, now asked him in sympathetic tones if
Draco was 'alright.' It was bad enough that people taunted them
about Voldemort's use of their son, and even worse that people like
Severus pitied them. On top of all of this, Voldemort now came into
their home and lead their son off to the bedroom right in front of
them.
Naked, they climbed into bed together and continued kissing. Some
deep intense kisses, some lighter and softer, some teasing and
playful. Under the blankets their naked bodies tangled around each
other and their hands explored every muscle, every curve. Voldemort
climbed on top of Draco and got between his legs. Casting a
lubrication spell, he slowly slipped inside him, eliciting a nervous
moan of delight from the boy beneath him.
He fucked him gently but firmly, driving into him with deep slow
thrusts, whilst looking into Draco's twilight grey eyes. Usually when
he took Draco in this position it was so that he could pin him down by
his wrists and hold him still, but today he caressed Draco's face and
hair as he fucked him. Draco whispered to him.
The words unnerved Draco. What was Voldemort doing? What were
they doing? It wasn't usually like this… Was this the closest they had
ever come to… making… love? Draco felt sick at the thought, and
nauseated by his own emotions. Wanting sex with Voldemort was
one thing, but, having feelings for him was more terrible than Draco
could comprehend.
'My sweet little Draco…' Voldemort continued, staring into his eyes
and whispering softly into Draco's slightly parted lips. 'My lovely one!
Gods! You are beautiful!'
Draco whimpered. Three little words were forming in his heart, rising
up and threatening to escape from his mouth. He could not let
himself say it, he could not!
'Come for me, darling. I love making you come.' He said softly. He
reached for Draco's cock and began to stroke him, in the same slow
rhythm as he fucked him.
'Do you want tea?' Draco asked as he woke up a little and felt he
should be hospitable, or something…
'Errr… yes love, that would be nice.' Voldemort said, surprised that
Draco had offered. The silencing charms had faded now and Draco
sat up and summoned the house elf.
Spinks was more than slightly shocked to see the Dark Lord was still
there, sitting in bed with 'poor master Draco', who looked far more
relaxed than he should under the circumstances.
Aunty Bella was coming for lunch. Draco couldn't stand her, she was
completely crazy and everyone knew it. She had escaped from
Azkaban and insisted on seeing her family regularly, paying far too
much attention to Draco for his liking. She wanted to make sure he
had developed the 'right' values and was being raised properly. She
always felt her sister was too soft on the boy. Aunty Bella was a
death eater, and what's more, she was completely crazy about
Voldemort, in a way that went beyond the usual mindless following of
the others. Hers was a fanatical obsession, it was as though she
never thought about anything else and was just waiting for the
moment when she could talk about him again.
' It's like she's in love with him or something. Today will not go well…'
Draco thought.
'Sissy!… And darling Lucius!' She exclaimed and she hugged them
both and kissed them. Draco remembered her hugs, they made you
feel like you had been mauled by Devils Snare. She turned to Draco
and her sickly smile disappeared and he eyes narrowed.
'Draco…' She said harshly, barley disguising the venom in her voice.
'My sweet little baby nephew…' She ran her hand over his face. 'But
you are all grown up now, aren't you, little Draco?' She drawled
suggestively. Draco felt sick. He really, really hated Aunty Bella.
' In fact, if she asks one more time if we are 'truly ready for the
coming of the Dark Lord…' Draco thought he might just crack and
tell her exactly how much he knew about 'the coming of the Dark
Lord', having experienced it for himself only hours before! But Draco
didn't want to upset his parents.
As they made their way to the drawing room Draco's parents were
delayed giving orders to Spinks, and Bella took the opportunity to get
Draco alone.
The moment they were in the Drawing room and out of sight, she
wheeled round on him, grabbed him and pinned him to the wall by
his throat.
She was surprisingly strong, 'they say that about crazy people, don't
they?' Draco thought. He resisted the urge to shout 'Take your filthy
hands off me you crazy bitch!' as he remembered just in time that
this was a woman capable of killing people, and torturing them just
for fun… 'That sort of thing doesn't usually bother you…' The
voice in his head began, but there was no time, Bellatrix spoke.
'I don't need to be able to read your mind to know what you have
been doing, you obnoxious little brat!' She hissed.
'Stop trying then!' Said Draco defiantly, being either brave or stupid,
or a little of both.
Her eyes narrowed as she glared at him, her face contorted with
rage.
'Why you, Draco? Why would the Dark Lord chose you? You pathetic
little boy!' She hissed. 'I bet you think you are something special,
don't you?'
'No. I don't think I'm special!' Draco said. Bella's grip loosened. 'But
Voldemort does.' He added, his voice stained with malice.
Bellatrix shrieked and pinned him hard against the wall once more.
Once upon a time, Draco would have been terrified, but the
emotional rollercoaster he had lived on for the past 6 months had
made him reckless. He had been scared he was going to be killed
too many times, and something about that made him take risks he
would never have taken before.
Draco narrowed his eyes. 'Oh… believe me, I SCREAM his name!'
Draco spat back at her.
Bellatrix looked for a moment like someone had just drained all the
blood from her body, but then, recovering herself, she flung Draco
across the room with a scream and drew her wand. Draco knew the
agony of the torture curse, but for the look he had just seen on his
Aunts face, he would have endured it, for a short time at least. He
did not have to however, as his mother appeared and in a flash of
light, attacked her sister sending her flying across the room. Lucius
appeared in the doorway his own wand drawn also.
'Oh, Sissy!' She giggled. 'Draco and I were only playing. You seem
rather over protective of your son these days… nothing wrong is
there?'
'Of course not.' Said Narcissa defensively, as she poured them all a
drink and they sat down.
When Draco returned to his room that night he was still fuming about
his Aunt and her vile presence in their home, but he was secretly
pleased that he had made her so angry and that he had stood up to
her. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a parcel on the bed.
It was wrapped in dark grey paper and tied with a green ribbon, there
was no card with it. Draco eyed it suspiciously. Was it a trick? Had
Aunty Bella somehow put it there? Cautiously he unwrapped it.
Inside was a box which he opened and, not wanting to reach in
without being sure what was inside, he turned it upside down so that
the object inside slid out onto the bed.
A beautiful silver statue of a snake, it's tail coiled, it's head raised, it's
mouth open. Deep green stones glistened in its eyes. Draco gasped
and picked up the snake. As he did, the eyes began to glow vividly. It
was heavy, he felt he needed two hands to hold it, but the second his
other hand made contact with the snake, he felt a jolt and he was
jarred away from his room, a rushing noise in his ears. The snake
was a port-key.
Seconds later, he stood in the dark bedroom next to the four poster
bed with the black drapes.
Chapter 21
'The eyes glow when it's safe to come here, Draco. That's when the
port-key will work. I wouldn't want you to come here when I am not
here. It might not be safe.' Voldemort added, 'And you won't be able
to use it from school, as you can't apparate or port-key from within
the grounds…'
Draco nodded and smiled at Voldemort. 'But I'm here now…' He said
in a low voice.
Draco placed the snake port-key on the bedside table and walked
towards Voldemort, his eyes narrowing deviously.
He grabbed Draco firmly and flung him face down on the bed.
'You are being really naughty this evening, Draco!' he hissed. 'You
need to be punished!' He raised his hand and bought it down hard
across Draco's ass. The stinging was amazing and Draco yelped.
Voldemort spanked him again. Draco enjoyed the pain, he had
fantasised about being spanked enough times, the reality was not
disappointing. Draco squirmed on the bed as Voldemort smacked
him repeatedly. He could feel his ass reddening as Voldemort
thrashed him, and his cries were both of pain and rapture.
'You little bastard!' Voldemort snapped at him, and slapped him hard
across the face.
The pain was more than exhilarating. Draco was knocked across the
bed by the force of it. He and Voldemort were on opposite corners of
the bed now, like boxers in a ring. The glared at each other.
Draco would never win in a battle for dominance, but he didn't really
want to. He wanted to submit, but he wanted to fight first. Perhaps
the pain of being slapped around appeased him for not having fought
harder in the first place, he wasn't sure, but he lunged at Voldemort
again.
Voldemort caught him by the wrists before Draco's attack could be
effective, flung him down onto his back and pounced on top of him.
He fought his way between Draco's legs where his erection pointed
at Draco's entrance. Pinning Draco down he penetrated him roughly
with no preparation.
'Fuck you!' Draco screamed, wrenching one of his hands free and
slapping Voldemort hard across the face with impressive force. It
hurt, but Voldemort only laughed.
'You fucking bastard!' Draco cried, clawing at him with his long nails.
The sex was becoming less painful with each thrust, but it didn't
lessen Draco's anger. Who was he angry at? Voldemort? His Aunt?
His parents? Himself? He didn't know, but he needed a release and
Voldemort could give him that.
Voldemort slowly licked Draco's face, tasting his blood, loving the
smell of blood mixed with sweat, the metallic taste of blood on his
tongue. He could taste Draco's adrenalin and his arousal and it
drove him wild.
Draco snarled and began to work his body back and forth, grinding
his hips and thrusting his pelvis.
'Oh Gods! Yes, that's so fucking good!' Draco cried as the head of
Voldemort's cock hammered his prostate. He dragged his nails down
Voldemort's chest, making the Dark Lord moan in delight at the
stinging sensation it caused. He reached for Draco's cock and began
to wank him firmly.
'So, what were you so angry about, love?' Voldemort asked, exhaling
a cloud of smoke.
'I don't know.' Draco replied honestly. 'I'm 15, I'm supposed to be
angry, aren't I? Isn't that how it works?'
'Yes, I think so.' He said. He had been angry at 15, he had been
angry all his life.
'What for?'
'My pleasure, love.' He hissed. 'I am here for you. Here for you if you
need to fight, or fuck, or both.'
'I need you.' Said Draco, putting down his cigarette and turning
towards Voldemort. 'I need you to make everything else go away, I
need you to be in control.' He whispered softly. Voldemort was
puzzled, Draco had never spoken like this before.
'You need me?' He echoed, gently touching Draco's face. Draco's
voice had been quiet, and there was a touch of desperation in it,
Voldemort wondered why Draco felt this way.
'I need you.' Draco repeated. 'I feel so dreadful sometimes, but when
I am with you, you take me away from everything. The whole world
stops existing and there is only you.'
Voldemort kissed him and held him tightly, not sure what to say. He
wanted to keep Draco away from the rest of the world and have him
here always. He would have liked to not send Draco back to that
terrible school where he was surrounded by mudblood barbarians
and the idiots that defend them. He wanted Draco by his side, his
beautiful trophy, his prize. He wanted Draco to know how he felt, but
the words were hard to find.
'I am here for you Draco, love.' He managed to say. 'You are mine.'
He felt Draco smile against his skin. Draco knew he would have to
leave and go back to school soon, and the darkness would catch him
up, but he could breath now. He was in that 'other' place where
reality did not exist.
Chapter 22
And so Draco's 'relationship' with Voldemort continued. Draco kept
up appearances at school, playing the part he had always played,
being the arrogant, vindictive Draco everyone knew and many
people loved. He joined the 'Inquisitorial squad', he strutted, crowed
and bullied, never once letting on that inside he was shaking, crying,
screaming because of what had been done to him, and because he
now missed it desperately. He had even got better at hiding his
feelings from his friends. The Drunken episode was almost forgotten
and Pansy and Blaise were glad to see Draco 'back to normal'.
'No, Lucius.' He said coldly. 'I am most certainly not 'tired of Draco',
although he can be demanding at times. And you really should
consider your sons feelings a little more. I assure you, Draco is not
tired of me!' He watched for Lucius's reaction. Lucius gulped and
said nothing. Voldemort continued.
'I admit, Draco likes to play rough sometimes, but don't fear, Lucius, I
have never done him any serious damage. In fact, Draco seems to
enjoy a little pain. He seems to confuse pain with affection… I can't
imagine who he has learnt that from.'
'Draco love.' He said, and Draco sat up and faced him sensing this
was important.
'What is it? We just had amazing sex… is he going to finish with me?
Surely he would just kill me if that was the case. That would be
better than breaking up with me… Do you think he's 'going out
with you'? You are a joke!'
Draco thought on this for a moment. He did not want to ask about
Voldemort's 'work' it was something he tried to avoid ever thinking
about.
'I may not see you for some time if needs be. It is not what I want,
but I don't want you caught up in this… It won't always be like this.'
He added.
'No, love. But it will happen before the summer. I will see you in the
summer and I don't want you to worry. One day it won't be like this.'
He assured Draco.
Voldemort had not been exaggerating. The fiasco at the Ministry was
well publicised and everyone was talking about it. Draco, of course
had to learn about it second hand, when Potter, Potter had once
again been there in the thick of it and Draco, again, felt like the
stupid child on the sidelines.
Draco's father had been arrested, causing mixed feelings for Draco.
But when Potter actually taunted Draco about Voldemort being
friends with his father, it was too much to bare.
Draco knew that the mission had failed, he wondered how angry
Voldemort would be, with his father, with him? What if he no longer
wanted him? 'Will he kill me?' Draco wondered. He did not mind the
thought of being killed, because after everything that had happened
if Voldemort no longer wanted him he did not imagine he would be
able to live anyway . 'People don't just go on living after something
like this, do they?' 'What if he hates me and just hands me over to
the death eaters, for their amusement?' Death was a better prospect.
Perhaps he would make sure he had a potion that would end things,
just in case he needed it. Draco had never felt so alone and afraid,
yet even in his desperation he was clever and logical enough to
make the necessary plans.
Voldemort did not see Draco until 2 weeks into the summer holidays,
during which Draco hardly ate or slept. He was in hell. Or was it
purgatory? He was rejected, and the cruel voice inside his head
tortured him relentlessly about how stupid he had been to believe for
one moment that he had been anything more than a casual dumb
fuck. He considered taking the poison on more than one occasion,
until one evening, a letter came summoning him and his mother to a
meeting of the death eaters.
Voldemort had been so very angry with Lucius for the cock up at the
ministry, and he had been afraid to see Draco in case he was unable
to control himself and had taken his anger out on him. That was not
what he wanted. But as the days wore on, he desperately wanted to
see his little Draco again. He contrived to see Draco publically, the
first time, just to be safe. Then, if he felt angry, Narcissa could take
Draco away. Voldemort wanted to keep Draco safe, even from
himself.
Draco waited with his mother outside the main room where the Dark
Lord met his followers. His presence attracted some attention. There
were smirks and stares. Draco overheard comments like
'If the Dark Lord's finished with him, maybe we will all get a turn…'
Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, and in that split second of
connection, Voldemort felt all of Draco's longing, his desperation and
his need. In that moment, Draco's lips parted slightly and he drew a
deep breath, his heart hammering at the inside of his ribs.
Draco understood only about half of what was being said during the
formal part of the meeting, he was deliriously ecstatic because
Voldemort had made a gesture to show that he still wanted him. His
head was swimming with relief. He wanted nothing more than for this
meeting to be over and for Voldemort to take him to his bed. It had
been so long, and he had been so lonely, he wanted to fuck all night
long. He hadn't slept for days, but sleep was a secondary need
compared to his need for sex! Voldemort touched Draco's leg under
the table and Draco blushed so visibly he was sure other people
noticed.
Wormtail bought the wine and poured drinks for everyone. The
conversation was less formal now, more scheming ideas than
concrete plans. The Death Eaters boasted about people they had
tricked, muggles they had tormented, and drank copiously, keeping
Wormtail busy pouring more wine for them.
Draco was frightened, and he hated the way McNair was staring at
him, occasionally licking his lips suggestively. Draco drank, hoping it
would make him less afraid. One man finished a graphic story of how
he had extracted information about the movements of the Order, by
using the cruciatus curse. McNair laughed heartily and leant so close
to Draco, that Draco could feel his breath. Draco shifted in his seat
towards Voldemort, who's hand was already on his thigh. McNair's
leering had not gone unnoticed by the Dark Lord.
Voldemort put his hand on Draco's shoulder.
'Have some more wine Draco, it'll help you relax.' Voldemort insisted
with a chuckle.
Draco was fairly sure he'd had enough, but accepted anyway.
Draco was embarrassed, but almost drunk enough not to care, for it
to not quite feel real. He was still revelling in relief that Voldemort
wasn't bored of him and either killed or discarded him. He accepted
Voldemort's touch readily, but did not look at any of the others in the
room. If he didn't look at them it was like they weren't there…
Voldemort sensed Snape's comment was a plea to be allowed to
leave. He smiled cruelly.
'Oh, there's no reason for any of you to leave, Severus! I think Draco
is quite over his shyness now! I'm sure he will be happy to let you all
watch some of his tricks!'
He bought his lips to meet those of the frightened boy, and kissed
him, biting at his lower lip first, gently running his tongue over
Draco's mouth before Draco parted his lips and let his tongue inside.
Draco moaned softly, whimpering as he began to submit to his
body's desires. He caressed Voldemort's chest, feeling his firm
muscles beneath his robes. As he shifted his body to get better
access to Voldemort's lips, he became aware of Voldemort's cock
growing hard under him. Draco ground himself against it, lust and
need over taking reason.
Voldemort lifted Draco off his lap and stood him in front of his throne-
like chair.
'Strip, Draco.' He commanded. He kept eye contact with Draco to try
and read any expression in his face. 'Is Draco scared? Is Draco
upset by this? Would I stop it if Draco was upset…? '
Draco was able to slip his feet out of his shoes and socks easily and
receiving no other directions from Voldemort, he began to unfasten
his trousers. He let them fall and stepped out of them, never
breaking his insubordinate eye contact. He ran his hand through his
hair and coyly awaited instructions.
Draco flicked back his hair and pouted. He ran his hands down his
body slowly and bent down slightly as he removed his underwear.
He was a little skinnier than Voldemort remembered, 'Is he not eating
properly…?' But he had a beautiful body, lithe and toned and
perfectly pale all over. The 5 guests stared at the brazen boy,
showing no signs of being self conscious at being naked in a room
full of strangers. But then, he had no reason to be self conscious, he
was a stunning sight.
'Very nice!' Commented the broad man and McNair grunted similar
approval.
'Don't be shy, Draco. Let them all have look at you.' He drawled. He
pictured in his head the bashful way that Draco would slowly turn to
face them, and then twist nervously as their eyes ran all over his
body…
But Draco did nothing of the sort. He glared back at Voldemort with
cunning, narrowed eyes. Draco turned and climbed up onto the long
table. He was on his knees and he faced his audience. He sighed
deeply as he ran both his hands through his hair and down over his
chest and stomach, suggestively close to his own semi-erect cock,
and down over his legs. He glanced playfully at the Dark Lord, who
looked somewhat taken aback. Draco smiled and continued his
display of shameless exhibitionism. He moved on all fours and
began to crawl slowly down the length of the table. He moved his
body erotically with an almost feline grace, arching and curving his
back as he moved, showing every curve of every muscle.
Once he had crawled past all of them, he lowered himself onto his
forearms and curved his back, stretching like a cat, presenting his
ass clearly to the room. He took his time over his movements, and
then turned round to face Voldemort. Just as slowly as before, he
crawled on his hands and knees back up the length of the table. He
kept eye contact with Voldemort the whole time, and seemed almost
not to notice the others around the table, as though this display was
for Voldemort and Voldemort alone.
Draco took absolutely no notice. He reached the end of the table and
sat back on his knees in front of Voldemort, tilting his head and
looking at him questioningly. Seeking approval, the Death Eaters
thought, but perhaps between the two of them, it was simply 'What
else have you got…?'
'Yeah!' Said a skinny brown haired man. 'Don't let him off so easy!'
Voldemort was shocked that they had dared to make suggestions,
and how would Draco feel about this? He glanced at him.
Voldemort realised suddenly that the tables had turned. He now felt
more trapped than Draco did. His followers were making demands,
they had expectations of him… But Draco, Oh! Draco! He had
expectations of him too. It had been 6 weeks since they had been
together, Voldemort wanted to savour Draco, take his time over
screwing him, to make it perfect for Draco. That was not what his
followers would be expecting to see. They probably wanted to see
him fuck Draco dry, see him hurt, see him used, humiliated and
tossed aside. Voldemort didn't want to do that to Draco, not really.
Would Draco understand? Would he know how to play?
Even McNair was shocked, he had not expected that. Snape felt a
mix of emotions, some shock, some disappointment, but mostly guilt.
Draco had been trained to be like this and no one had tried to stop it.
'You want me to take you, right here, in front of everyone, you kinky
slut?
Voldemort gripped Draco's hair roughly and pulled his head back
and spoke close to his ear, but loud enough for the others to hear.
When he pulled back, Draco's blood was visible on his pale lips and
Draco whimpered as the pain of the bite continued to flow through
his body. Voldemort brushed his mouth lightly over Draco's lips and
he trailed his hand down to Draco's cock and began to tug at him
roughly.
'I want you!' Draco growled back at him. 'I want you inside me, I want
you, fucking me hard.'
'I need you!' Whimpered Draco in response. 'I AM desperate for you.
Please! Take me! Fuck me like a bitch!'
Draco had always had a kink for dirty talk, it was one of the things
Voldemort liked best about him.
'Oh, I'm going to fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk in the
morning, you dirty little boy!' Voldemort hissed. Draco took this not
as a threat, but a promise.
Draco obediently lifted his legs and placed his feet on the table.
Voldemort took hold of him and dragged him forcefully right up to the
edge of the table, pressing his cock to Draco's entrance. With a
violent thrust he breached him and Draco screamed and keened
upwards from the table top.
'Give it to him, my Lord! The little slag needs putting in his place!'
McNair barked, with encouragement from the others. Except for
Snape, who sat stony faced, staring forward intently, as if he were
trying to stare right through what was happening and into another
dimension.
Draco felt tight. Very tight. And he sobbed and whimpered, there
were tears running down his face. Voldemort moved slowly, pulling
back and pushing gently into Draco. Draco's eyes were closed.
Voldemort wished he would open them. 'Does Draco hate this…?' he
wondered, knowing too well his followers were expecting him to
pound Draco hard from start to finish, even if Draco cried, screamed
and bled the whole time. 'Don't hate this, Draco… Don't hate me… I
have to…' He thought anxiously. He ran his hand over Draco's chest.
Voldemort's cold hand on his skin made Draco open his eyes and
look up at him. The force of the emotion that he read in the Dark
Lord's face made him draw breath. Voldemort was scared. Scared,
and he felt powerless. Draco had the power now. In this one moment
somehow he held all the cards. He relaxed his body as much as he
could, sighed deeply and gave Voldemort the smallest smile, and a
moan that sounded more like pleasure than pain.
As Voldemort pushed into him, Draco wrapped his legs around him
and gripped him tightly, encouraging him, letting him know it was
alright.
Relieved, Voldemort thrust into him hard, and hit Draco's prostate full
force. The pleasure that ripped through him caused most of the
lingering sense of pain to evaporate and Draco wanted that
sensation again.
Draco writhed and flung his hands down on the table beside him,
digging his nails into the surface as if trying to grip onto something.
Voldemort gripped his shoulders and forced him down hard onto his
cock.
The rowdy cheers and shouts from the death eaters continued and
although Voldemort focused mostly on Draco, he was also aware of
their audience, in particular, of Snape.
'Fuck, yes!' Draco gasped. 'I'm your dirty bitch, your filthy little fuck-
toy, Oh, Gods! I need you to screw me, fuck me hard until I cry!'
Voldemort slowed his thrusts and his eyes fell on Severus. He gave
a vindictive smile.
'Perhaps you are a little jealous?' Voldemort spat at him. 'He looks a
bit like Lucius, after all!'
Voldemort grabbed Draco's hair and pulled him upright and spoke
into his ear, loudly enough for the others to hear.
'Poor old Severus was desperate to fuck your father once upon a
time, Draco. He never had the nerve to act on it.'
'Should we let him come and play with us, honey?' Voldemort
continued, drawing a cheer from the audience.
'Do you like the look of my pet, Severus?' Voldemort asked coolly.
'I know he liked the look of you, once, didn't you Draco?' Voldemort
continued.
'Of course, you are MINE now, but before I took you, you used to
hope that Severus would take you, didn't you?' Voldemort hissed,
tauntingly, although it was Snape he aimed to torment, not Draco,
and Draco knew this. They worked together. In fact, they made quite
a team, reading the situation perfectly. Snape was ashamed that he
lusted after Draco, and distressed that the boy was being used in
this way. Draco looked for replies and responses which perfectly
mixed depravity and innocence, brazenness and shame.
'Yes, he always ignored me.' Draco answered. 'He didn't want me.'
'Oh, but he did!' Said Voldemort cruelly. 'He wanted to fuck you,
probably since your first year, if not before! But he's a very moral
man, aren't you Severus?' Voldemort did not wait for a reply. 'But
now you see how upset poor Draco was, you made him feel
unwanted.'
' Show him you are sorry.' Voldemort snapped, pushing Draco
towards Snape.
What else could he do? He wrapped his arms around Draco in what
was a far too genuinely protective embrace, and softly responded to
Draco's gently kiss. He slipped his tongue between his lips and oh
so affectionately worked his mouth against his. Was this the only
way he could show Draco kindness now, by offering him a moment
of gentle touch…?
Although truly of tender intention, Snape couldn't fight the desire
within him as he felt Draco's naked body against him. One hand
crept lower, down the sensuous curve of his back… Draco thrust
himself against the growing firmness at the front of Snapes robes.
Draco snuck his hand down to Snapes erection and began to fondle
him though his clothes. Snape gave a groaning sigh, wanting and
not wanting this in equal amounts.
'Well, he's too late!' Laughed Voldemort, reaching out and pulling
Draco back to him, leaving Snape with a terribly conspicuous bulge
showing at his crotch. Several people laughed.
'Draco is MINE now, Severus, and no one gets to have him, but me!'
'But Severus has been good to you, sometimes, hasn't he, pet?'
Voldemort addressed Draco who nodded in response.
He looked up into Snapes face, with his 'frightened eyes' look, and
Snape finally gave in. He roughly took hold of a handful of Draco's
fair hair and began to thrust hard into his mouth, suddenly forcing
Draco to deep throat him, almost causing him to choke.
As the two men pounded him, Draco felt all the blood in his body
rush to his cock, which hung hard and heavy between his legs. He
would have given anything to touch himself, but needed both his
hands to keep upright!
'He's hard as a rock!' A rough voice observed. Draco felt his desire
multiply as he remembered he was being watched.
'What a filthy slut! If only his father knew! I wonder if he'd be proud to
have raised such a fucking whore?' McNair laughed.
Draco tensed. This was too much, far too much… In a good way,
and a bad way. Voldemort hammered his prostate hard from behind
and Snapes cock filled his mouth… Suddenly his own cock jumped
and twitched as his body convulsed and he came hard over the
blanket beneath him.
They pulled out of him and Draco collapsed forward onto the blanket,
trembling in the wake of his climax.
Wormtail began to show everyone out and once the room had
cleared, Voldemort turned his attention to the unmoving Draco.
Chapter 24
One arm around Draco's shoulders, Voldemort ushered him down a
long corridor. Draco, wrapped in the blanket, tripping over the ends
of it now and then, did not know where Voldemort was taking him.
Small trickles of blood ran down Draco's legs, Voldemort had been
far too rough with him. They reached a large door which Voldemort
flung open and stepped inside, dragging Draco with him.
With a flick of his wand, Voldemort lit candles around the room and
Draco knew at once where he was. This was the room with the big
black four poster bed, he had never been able to place the room in
the context of a building before.
Voldemort picked Draco up in his arms and carried him to the bed
placing him down gently, before going to a tall cupboard at the far
end of the room and returning with a small vial of potion. He pulled
out the stopper and handed it to Draco.
They slept for a couple of hours before Draco awoke, and reached
for his lover, desires other than sleep motivating him. His gentle
touch woke Voldemort and in the darkness of the room they shared
the type of reunion Voldemort had wanted to share with Draco. A
passionate, all consuming fire fuelled their love making and in the
throes of desire they whispered words to each other they would not
have dared to speak in the cold light of day.
Draco realised for the first time, that no one can ever understand a
relationship, except for the people in it. No one would understand
this, not even if he tried to explain it to them. He could hardly
articulate it anyway. Something about his 'relationship' with
Voldemort, as bizarre, as abusive, as unbalanced as it had been,
something about it was 'real' and mutual. Voldemort had coerced him
into doing things he would not have readily done, things he would be
ashamed if others knew about. Voldemort had made him be a
different person when they were together than he was at any other
time, made him show a side of himself he had not known existed. At
the start Draco had been scared that he had lost all his power, then
he came to crave the powerlessness. Now he realised he had a
power that no one could understand. He had felt vulnerable,
exposed and like Voldemort had power over him as he held all of his
secrets in his hands. Draco had believed it was one sided, but this
evening he had realised it was not. He held Voldemort's secrets in
his hands too. He knew what no one else did. That Voldemort did not
want to hurt him, that he had been sorry. That he wanted to be loved.
That he wanted a companion who wanted him. That there was a
grain of humanity left in him, however misguidedly it might express
itself.
Draco slept in Voldemort's arms after they made love and he awoke
as the early light of dawn began to creep into the room. He opened
his eyes and saw Voldemort gazing down at him, wide awake,
watching him. Draco frowned, and self-consciously rearranged his
hair.
Voldemort had been watching Draco sleep for some time. Draco had
looked so peaceful and so innocent laying there, sleeping in his
arms. He looked so content, far from how he had looked the first
time he had slept in that bed. Voldemort wondered how it was
possible to have such strong feelings for someone when you had
only one 7th of a tattered soul remaining. He wondered if Draco
understood how much this meant, if Draco realised how special he
was? Draco was just damaged enough that Voldemort could connect
with him, but just pure enough that his affection felt almost like
redemption. 'It was never meant to be like this!'
'I'm sorry, Draco.' Voldemort said instantly. 'I didn't mean to wake
you.'
'Yes.' Said Voldemort quietly. 'I was watching you sleep, I'm sorry.'
'It's ok.' Draco whispered. 'I don't mind.' He yawned, turned over and
fell back to sleep, seemingly completely relaxed about being
watched over by Voldemort.
It was well into the afternoon when Draco awoke again, alone this
time. The room was light and not nearly as intimidating as it looked
in the night time. His clothes had been placed on the end of the bed.
Draco had never been alone in this room before, he didn't quite
know what to do. Voldemort had once said he didn't want Draco to
come here if he wasn't there too, as it might not be safe… Draco
ached all over and wondered if he was allowed to take a shower? He
decided it would probably be alright and he took his pile of clothes
and headed to the bathroom. Safely locked inside he checked the
pockets of his trousers and was relieved to find the vial of poison
was still there, undiscovered, though he no longer had immediate
plans to take it.
'It seems your guest is finally awake, my Lord.' He said dryly and
Voldemort turned instantly to look at Draco who was peeking round
the door frame.
'Go and get Draco some tea, Wormtail. And some breakfast too,
even though it's after lunch time.' He added with a smile.
Draco scowled.
'You can hex him once he has bought your breakfast, if you want to,
love.' Voldemort said, kissing Draco's still wet hair. 'Or I will do it later
if you prefer.' He offered.
Draco didn't know what to say, but he really did want to hex that
rotten man who wanted nothing more that to intimidate him. He
smiled at Voldemort.
'Maybe just a little stinging hex…' Draco grinned.
Voldemort grinned too. He liked this side of Draco. Sadistic, but only
playfully so. He didn't think Draco would be up to casting a cruciatus
curse, but he would enjoy seeing Draco throw a little hex at
Wormtail. Voldemort liked Draco's childish aggressive outbursts, he
thought about the times when they had fought with each other. It was
fun. Voldemort folded up the parchment he had been studying and
lay his wand on the table.
Draco's eyes widened and he gripped the wand in his hand, not
quite sure how to handle it. Voldemort guided his hand gently and
Draco flicked the wand at Wormtail shooting a stinging hex at the
back of his legs.
Although Draco had only flicked the wand gently, the force of the hex
knocked Wormtail off his feet and Draco was shocked at the power
of it.
Draco drank his tea and ate a little of the cake, but Voldemort had
been casting strange spells into the room, practicing spells that
Draco did not recognise, and this was far more interesting than
breakfast. Draco watched him intently.
Voldemort put one arm around Draco's waist and held him, quite
tightly before he began to speak. For a moment Draco was
confused, Voldemort was saying words, or making sounds, that he
didn't understand. It was a few seconds before he realised it was
parseltounge. This realisation should have given him a clue about
what was to follow but still he jumped with fright when an enormous
snake slithered into the room and approached the Dark Lord.
Voldemort tightened his grip on Draco, either to reassure him, or
prevent him from running away.
The snake raised its head and waited before Voldemort, it's forked
tongue darting from its mouth from time to time, eyeing Draco.
She felt beautiful and silky smooth under Draco's fingers and she
leant into his touch. Draco was not sure if snakes liked to be stroked
and petted like a cat or a dog, but Nagini welcomed his attention.
She slid right up to him and began to coil around him. Draco felt a
wave of fear, was she going to crush him…? But she was gentle in
her embrace and she placed her face next to Draco's and her tongue
darted over his neck.
Suddenly his conscience prickled him. He should look for his mother.
She would have returned here alone last night and he needed to
comfort her in his father's absence. Making every effort not to think
about the events of the night before, he ventured downstairs to find
her, hoping to the Gods that Aunty Bella wasn't there too!
He pushed the door open and crept in almost silently. The room was
in near darkness as the curtains were pulled, despite it being a
gloriously sunny day.
Narcissa sat with her back to the door, her hand resting on a small
table, clutching a glass containing a liquid Draco did not recognise,
the bottle of which was on the table also. She did not move. Draco
had opened the door so quietly Narcissa had not heard him.
Narcissa jumped and spun round in her chair. She had been crying,
her face was red and lined with tear stains. Draco was almost used
to seeing her like that these days, since Lucius's arrest.
'Draco!' She cried and stood up, grabbing onto the chair to steady
herself as she swayed a little.
Draco ran to her and encouraged her to sit back down. He knelt
beside her holding her hands. The smell of drink on her breath was
overwhelming!
'When…' She began, then thought for a moment and changed her
question. 'How did you get back here?'
'My poor baby!' Narcissa wailed and began to sob violently. Drinking
didn't suit her at the best of times.
Draco flung his arms around his mother, actually relieved that she
was as drunk as she was. It would make the next part of this
conversation mildly less excruciating.
'It's not…' He began, then paused. 'He's not… He's usually not
'unkind' to me…' He stopped. There was no right way to say this,
especially not to his mother! He would never have wanted to discuss
his sex life with his mother under any circumstances, surely no one
would! And there was certainly no acceptable way to tell her that,
yes, he was being fucked by the Dark Lord, but he really was ok and
actually quite enjoyed it.
'He doesn't really hurt me.' He decided was more than enough
information.
'It's ok.' He said and helped her to stand up. 'Let me help you
upstairs.' He offered.
'It should me be looking after you, Draco.' Narcissa said softly as her
son helped her up the stairs and sat her down on her luxurious bed.
Draco pulled back the covers and helped her to get underneath.
'We can look after each other.' He whispered, laying the blankets
gently over her.
'My lovely little dragon…' She whispered as she fell into a deep
sleep.
Draco returned to the drawing room and drank several glasses of the
unknown liquor himself, before returning to check on his mother. She
was sound asleep and he decided to sit beside her, just for a
moment… within minutes he was asleep at her side.
Narcissa woke hours later and saw him there. She wrapped a
protective arm around him and prayed to whoever may be listening
that at least for tonight, her son would not be taken away from her.
Her prayers were answered, it seemed, as Draco was still there in
the morning. They took morning tea together and then walked in the
garden, blessed as they were with the gift that is given to most
aristocrats: The ability to pretend that all is well even when the world
feels like it is falling apart.
Chapter 26
Days later, Draco sat alone in the large black bed, possibly a little
drunk from the evening before, as Voldemort never said 'no' to Draco
when he wanted wine or Fire Whiskey. It was now half way through
the summer holidays and Draco had spent a good deal of time in this
strange, dark house with Voldemort .
Wormtail, for all his faults, was not a stupid man. And as Voldemort's
servant he was privy to information others were not. Fairly early on,
he had realised that Draco was something of a 'favourite' of the Dark
Lord, and he felt jealous, although not of the sexual aspect! He
though Draco must be offering himself in that way to gain status and
power, the vile little slut. As time had moved on, he had noticed
Voldemort's protectiveness of Draco, he noticed that Voldemort
almost seemed to care for him, and it might not be long before this
manipulative little boy-whore realised that he had power over the
Dark Lord. Wormtail had not worked hard to ingratiate himself to
Voldemort only to have to try to do the same for that jumped up
Malfoy brat! He wanted Draco cast aside, out of the picture, out of
the way, so that he would be the most trusted again. He also wanted
to hurt Draco, as a payback for the stinging hex, and other
humiliations.
Wormtail shook his head slowly and a cruel smile spread over his
lips.
'Poor stupid boy!' He laughed. 'You're not the first, you know. And
you won't be the last either.'
'I'll tell him you have been bothering me.' Draco threatened. Wormtail
stiffened a little, as that would mean bad things for him, but this rare
opportunity to catch 'the pet' alone was his one chance to get this
situation under his control, so he took a calculated risk.
Unsure whether his comment had hurt Draco in the way he intended,
Wormtail decided to employ another tactic, which was really his plan
all along.
Wormtail couldn't trick Draco by just trying to hurt him, nor would that
convince Draco not to tell Voldemort about their conversation, but if
he offered Draco something 'useful'…
'You're not the only one.' Wormtail said. 'But you are certainly the
favourite.'
'Got you!' Thought Wormtail, hiding his cruel intentions behind a well
practiced, simpering smile.
'Really.' Said Draco flatly, sounding disinterested, but it was too late,
he had betrayed his emotions and Wormtail knew he had him.
'The others don't spend the whole night here, and they certainly don't
receive gifts!' Wormtail elaborated. 'Yes, I would say the Dark Lord
has high hopes for you!'
'Certainly.' Smiled Wormtail. 'Play your cards right and I think you will
do very well for yourself. And why shouldn't you?' He continued,
barley managing to conceal the hatred in his voice. 'You have won
him over with your pretty face and 'obliging' nature…' 'When some of
us had to live as a pet rat for 12 years and then cut off a hand to get
less than a tenth of the privileges given to this doe-eyed whore who
does nothing more than moan and scream at the right moments!'
'You just need to prove your loyalty to him and I'd say you would
secure a very nice future for yourself!'
'I don't dislike you, Draco.' Wormtail assured him. 'In fact, I'd rather
serve you than any of the others. You are a clever boy, from a good
family. When this war is won, you are the right sort to be at the Dark
Lords side.'
'Assuming for one moment you are not lying…' Draco said, not
wanting to let Wormtail be sure if he was buying into this
conversation or not. 'How would you, in your infinite knowledge,
suggest I 'prove myself'?'
Draco's tone was a touch sarcastic, but Wormtail was satisfied that
he had cornered him. Wormtail sat on the bed and leant close to
Draco and spoke in a whisper.
'The Dark Lord has a lot of enemies, Draco.' He said softly. 'You
have access to them…'
'No.' Wormtail said. 'Potter is complicated, the Dark Lord needs him
alive.'
'He's an old man, Draco. A frail old man. You see him every day at
school. Imagine if you could get rid of him! He has been a thorn in
the side of the Dark Lord for so long, I can't imagine how grateful he
would be to the one who dispatches him!'
'Don't talk rubbish!' Snapped Draco. 'If he's just a frail old man, then
what difference would it really make if I kill him or not?' For all his
dislike of Dumbledore, Draco was not naive enough to believe for
one minute that he was simply a 'frail old man'. Wormtail was
probably suggesting Draco try this so that he would fail and end up
dead, or in Azkaban.
'You kill Dumbledore, and you will never be able to go back to that
school again, will you?' Wormtail smiled. 'You'll be here, all the time.
The Dark Lord will have no need for the others if he has you here all
the time. There would be no danger that someone else would take
your place if you are here to guard it.'
Draco frowned.
The night that Draco had attended the meeting with his mother,
Wormtail had found the vial of poison in Draco's pocket when he had
bought his clothes from the dining room to the bedroom. He had
correctly guessed its purpose and had woven the perfect story to
play on all of Draco's fears. 'Of course, if I can be the one who gets
that spoilt brat out of the picture, I can not only get back into the Dark
Lords favour, but it won't do any harm in impressing the magnificent
Bellatrix either!' He thought to himself happily. 'Impress her enough
and eventually she will realise that her affections towards the Dark
Lord are in vain, and she is bound to notice my dedication and
intelligence…' He smiled a revolting smile.
Back in the bedroom, Draco sat shaking with fear. His head already
foggy from alcohol, he battled this new information into logical order
in his mind.
'It's probably all lies, Wormtail hates me, I'm not stupid, I know he
does!' Draco rationalised. 'But what if it's true… about the other boy?
And I'm not the only one he sees… What if that's true?' The pain of
that revelation was enough to draw agonised sobs from the
distraught Draco. The thought that Voldemort had been with
someone else the way he was with him cut him like a knife. Add to
that the fear that this unknown 'other' might take Draco's place as
favourite, and the thought of the fate he might suffer if this
happened, began to tear Draco apart.
'It can't be true!' Draco whispered, his voice shaking. What about the
night they had been together after the meeting? The way Voldemort
had carried him, healed him, held him, made love to him, watched
him sleep…? He had known then that they kept each other's secrets,
that something in this mess in which he found himself was real.
Something that was just between them, something no one else knew
about. He hadn't imagined it, he was sure!
But the thought that there were others! Oh! The thought of Voldemort
kissing someone else, touching them the way he touched Draco…
The thought of another pretty young thing beneath the Dark Lord,
yielding to his touch, melting into his embrace… Draco sobbed, his
heart breaking.
Wormtail had suggested that he secure his fate, secure his favour by
killing Dumbledore… Was this a genuine suggestion, or a plot to get
Draco killed? Would this prove that Draco had a use beyond the
physical? Prove that he was clever, cunning, powerful? Draco
dreaded going back to school. This was his weakest time. This was
when this 'other' could take his place with Voldemort. Who was this
other person? Were they more beautiful than him…? If ONLY Draco
could think of a way he could get out of Hogwarts without anyone
knowing, then he could be with Voldemort whenever he was
wanted… 'There MUST be a way!'
When Voldemort returned later that day he couldn't help but notice a
change in Draco. Draco seemed so anxious and tense. Voldemort
took him into the shower and fucked him to help him relax. It worked,
but the effects did not last. Draco was nervous, like he had been
when they first became lovers. Thinking about it, Draco always
seemed a little nervous, Voldemort guessed it was just his nature.
But today Draco was different to how he had been just hours before,
so something must have happened, it couldn't just be the after
effects of too much Fire Whiskey!
'What's the matter, Draco?' Voldemort asked, as they sat on the bed
after showering.
'Has Wormtail been harassing you?' Wormtail was the only person in
the house all day, it didn't take an evil genius to work it out,
Voldemort thought!
'No!' Said Draco, but realising that lying was probably pointless he
added 'He was just trying to wind me up. It's nothing, really.'
Draco made his main focus over the holidays simply to please
Voldemort as much as possible. It was hard for him to know exactly
how he could be more pleasing to him than he already was, as he
had always done as he was told, and given whatever was asked of
him. He simply went out of his way to be more affectionate, more
physical, more devoted. Whatever behaviour seemed to Voldemort's
liking, he would do more and more of it. This delighted Voldemort,
who took it as clear confirmation of just how much his little Draco
adored him.
Firstly, how he could engineer a way that he could get in and out of
Hogwarts unnoticed, allowing him to be with Voldemort whenever he
was required?
Draco was clever, he was reminded of this the day he received his
O.W.L results and his mother glowed with pride. Unfortunately, Aunty
Bella had been there at the time also and had made the cutting
comment,
'Who cares if he's clever, Sissy? Everyone knows Draco has only
one use in life!' She gave a derogatory gloating smile and Narcissa
looked distraught. She had wanted so much more for her son!
Draco had assumed this was what his mother would want to hear.
He had no idea of the distress and trouble it would cause. Instead of
pleasing her, all he did was cause her to worry and fret, and
convince herself that the Dark Lord had asked Draco to carry out
work in Lucius's absence. In her panic, she turned to the one person
she thought Draco would be safe with, the one person she trusted to
help her son; Severus Snape. Snape, through a combination of
compassion, guilt and peer pressure from Bellatrix, vowed to protect
Draco and to carry out any task he might fail to do.
Meanwhile, clever Draco put his mind to the problem of how to get in
and out of Hogwarts to see Voldemort. This had to be his key focus,
he decided, for a number of reasons. Firstly, was the purely selfish
fact that he could not stand the thought of another year like the one
before. Week after week of feeling cold, alone and desperate, with
only the Sweet Dreams pendant and a few snatched moments in the
school holidays to keep him from going crazy. Somehow he had
survived like this last year, but things were so much more intense
now, there was no way he could do it again.
In reality, this was the closest thing to the truth he could have arrived
at based on what Wormtail had told him. Voldemort rarely bothered
with anyone else. Before Draco, sex had been a need that arose
from time to time and he tended to gratify it by Imperio-ing someone,
using them and throwing them aside. A mudblood, he would
probably kill, and a pure blood would either be left to deal with the
distress afterwards, or if he felt kind, Voldemort might Obliviate them.
It had been different since Draco. Any others he had been with since
Draco had simply been to relieve frustrations in advance of a more
intense, more satisfying and, yes, more meaningful encounter with
Draco. But even had he known this, this was not the version of
events Wormtail wanted Draco to have.
Draco knew there were secret passages and was sure with some
research he might be able to find one, but he decided this would be
unreliable as too much could go wrong. A secret passage would
have to be accessed from one point in the school and if anyone saw
him use it, or became suspicious the game would be up. A secret
passage could be discovered, could cave in, could be in use by
others… there were too many variables. It had to be something
better hidden than a passage.
It wasn't difficult to get compliance from the staff at Borgin & Burkes.
Dracos 'status' was well known, and if he wanted access to an item
in the shop, it was best to comply.
So stage one had been easy, stage two would be more difficult and
Draco set off to Hogwarts with his head full of troubles and schemes
which has nothing to do with his studies or his friends.
Pansy noticed the difference in Draco right away, even on the train
he was distant, sluky and aloof. She was troubled, while Blaise
simply put it down to one of Draco's moods.
Harry had noticed this as well. He had speculated that Draco might
be a death eater and now couldn't shake the idea from his mind. He
wanted to confront Draco with this, to catch him in the act, whatever
'the act' was… But niggling within him was a feeling that he didn't
just want to catch Draco, he wanted to rescue him too. He did have a
dreadful 'saving people' thing!
They say there is a fine line between love and hate. Harry should
hate Draco, he knew that, because really, ' what's not to hate about
Draco?' Spoilt, selfish, shallow, cruel and prejudiced, Draco was
everything Harry was not. So why then did some deep, dark part of
him feel urges towards Draco that he dare not admit? What was it
within him that made him feel that way? He liked Ginny, for Gods
sake! Sweet, bright, lovely fiery Ginny Weasley. Ginny, who cared
about him, was friendly and warm. So why when he saw Draco so ill
and stressed, so vulnerable and anxious, did he want to rescue him?
Want to throw his arms around him and, and… do something he
shouldn't want to do! Harry tried to fight it, but it was like there was
something inside him that made him want Draco, want to follow him,
be near him, touch him… 'No!' He told himself firmly every day.
These feelings made no sense and he didn't know where they were
coming from. He hated Draco, end of story. Sure, he may have had
the odd 'curious' thought about him in the past, but he hated him,
damn it, so what were these other feelings about?
He was covered by, no, almost tangled in, black satin sheets. There
was a raw, musky smell in the air, the smell of sex. The room was
dark and he was aware only of the bed. It was hot, he was naked.
He was not alone. A slim, delicate body was writhing beneath him
and he could hear the person gasping and he was not quite sure
whether it was through pleasure or distress.
Harry looked down. Draco Malfoy was laying beneath him, naked,
flushed, moaning. His eyes were closed, his lips were slightly parted.
His fair hair wet with sweat and he had a slight flush of colour to his
pale cheeks. Harrys stomach lurched.
But Harry was not in control of his own actions it seemed and when
Draco dug his finger nails into his shoulders and scratched down his
arm, Harry raised one hand and struck Draco across the face
making him scream. As well as screaming, Draco responded by
reaching up and sinking his teeth into Harrys neck and trying to fight
his way on top of him.
The pain was intense, but strangely exhilarating and Harry took an
aggressive hold of Draco's hair and flung him hard down onto the
mattress. Harry had no idea he was so much stronger than Draco!
He could throw him around really easily, Draco seemed to be
resisting him, but to no avail. Or perhaps he wasn't really trying too
hard to resist, Harry wasn't sure. He wasn't sure because he had
never been with anyone like this before. Never been naked in bed
with someone, never kissed someone so forcefully, then slapped
them and thrown them about… He would never do that, would he?
He pounced on top of Draco, who snarled at him and bit at his lip,
wrapping his legs around Harrys back and pulling him close. Harry
became aware of his erection. He was so desperately hard, and his
cock was pointing right at Draco's entrance… With a powerful thrust
he ploughed into him and Draco screamed and clawed at his back,
so Harry grabbed his slender wrists and pinned him down. He drew
back and thrust into Draco again, forcing a half scream half sob from
the blond beneath him.
He was fucking Draco. He, Harry, was fucking Draco Malfoy. Pinning
him down and fucking him. And Draco, Draco was sobbing, and
Gods, it felt amazing! It felt so amazing, like this was all he had
wanted, all he had wanted for a very long time and he wondered how
he had survived without it. He kissed Draco again and Draco kissed
him back with such passion and need that Harry felt sure that Draco
adored him more than anything else in the world.
'Oh Gods, yes! Oh Gods I need you so much, you feel so good,
please don't stop, please don't ever stop…' And he sobbed again.
Had Harry been in control he would have told Draco that he never
would stop. That he would love him like this till the end of time. That
he did not know he was capable of loving like this until he met Draco.
That Draco had changed everything, and that he wanted Draco
beside him always. Those were the feelings he felt in that moment
and he longed to speak them out loud. But he wasn't in control and
the only sound he managed to make was a lustful hiss…
Draco was going to come. Harry was fucking Draco and was going
to make Draco come. Was Harry in heaven or hell? Was this the
best, or the worst thing he had ever done…? Desperate to get Draco
off, he reached for Draco's cock and began to tug him roughly. Draco
took little encouragement and in mere seconds Harry felt Draco's
cock throbbing and his ass tensing as he came. The intensity of it
drove Harry to give him a few final hard thrusts which sent him over
the edge too with a loud cry…
Sweaty and flushed, Harry sat up in his bed in the Gryffindor boys
dormitory, awoken by the sound of his own cry. He had been
dreaming.
Thank the Gods and all that is holy, he had been dreaming ! And
clearly he didn't need a luck potion as it seemed that no one had
been woken up by his shout other than him. He supposed they were
all quite heavy sleepers.
Oh Gods! The blankets were all sticky… He hadn't, had he…? Yes.
Oh god! He had just had a wet dream about fucking Draco Malfoy.
Harry wondered for a moment if this was in fact, the worst thing that
had ever happened to him. He was embarrassed, even in front of
himself. He had just come, from dreaming about shagging Malfoy…
If anyone ever found out about this he would literally die! If ever
there was a reason to get good at Occlumency, this was it, right
here!
Harry told himself not to dwell on it, it must just be one of the many
joys of being a teenager, to have vile sex dreams about people you
hate… But it seemed odd to have such a vivid dream, to be so
aware of the physical sensations. Particularly when you are
dreaming about something you have never actually experienced in
reality, Harry thought. And it was strange that he didn't feel that he
had been in control of his actions. He had wanted to stop and
couldn't, there were feelings he felt but didn't say out loud because
he wasn't in control…
Harrys heart froze. This was not the first time he had had 'dreams'
like this. Dreams where he saw and experienced the action first hand
but was not in control of what he did, was not himself.
He had learned the hard way that he really should tell someone
about these dreams when he thought he saw Voldemort's actions.
He should tell Hermione, or go to Dumbledore, even if he didn't feel
sure about what he saw, he knew he should tell someone. But no
one was going to hear about this, ever! He had rationalised it for
himself and it couldn't be what he dreaded it being. So therefore no
one needed to know. No one. Ever.
Far away from Hogwarts, in the large black four poster bed, Draco
lay in Voldemort's arms, the bed a mess, the sheets soaked with
sweat.
Draco, to his enormous relief, had been summoned 'home' for the
weekend, and had gone to Voldemort via his port-key the moment he
had arrived at the manor. In his mind, he planned to talk to
Voldemort, to discuss the problems he was having with the vanishing
cabinet, to maybe ask for help with it, but the conversation never
actually took place. The moment he and Voldemort set eyes on one
another, desire and emotions overwhelmed both of them. Draco
rushed straight to him and fell into his arms, kissing him deeply,
running his hands over him, scrabbling to get his robes off as quickly
as possible…
Voldemort had been so busy with his plans, co-ordinating the death
eaters and recruiting new followers, he had made a conscious effort
not to see Draco for a while. But he knew he would miss him and
eventually kept a weekend free and insisted Narcissa bring him
home. Frustrated and having missed each other as much as they
had, they spent most of the weekend in bed. In bed, on the table, on
the desk in the study and in the big leather armchair. Somehow,
conversations never happened as they 'made the most' of the
weekend together.
'Home, I imagine.' Hermione answered. 'I think his mother brings him
home every now and then.'
'I guess that makes sense.' Ron said. 'She probably wants the
company now that her husband is in jail, although why anyone would
want his company, I don't know!'
'I guess his mother actually likes him.' Hermione said impartially.
'For Gods sake don't tell Harry that Malfoy was home this weekend!'
Ron said. 'It'll only add fuel to his idea that he's a death eater, we
don't want to encourage him on that one!'
Chapter 29
Whilst Draco toiled with fixing the cabinet, he was not the only
person who was concerned that his plans were not moving along as
fast as he would like. Wormtail was most displeased that Draco had
not shown any sign of planning to act on his advice about
despatching Dumbledore, so he decided to take matters into his own
hands.
'I would not advise you to waste time, Draco. I can sense the Dark
Lord is beginning to doubt your devotion to him.' Wormtail warned in
his letter.
Draco was unsure whether he believed this, but made a small, half
hearted attempt to get the item into school. He did not succeed, but it
was not his real focus.
It would have suited him to avoid Draco around school and he would
have done just that, but for the promise he had made to Narcissa.
He had made an unbreakable vow that he would help Draco
complete the task he had set out to do. He had no choice now but to
try to find out what it was and to help Draco achieve it.
Having hauled Draco out of Slughorns party, Snape took the chance
to corner Draco and offer him help. Draco angrily refused, a
conversation overheard by Harry, who wove it in to his death eater
theory.
Draco stormed away from Snape. He had hardly been able to look at
him or be in the same room as him, he did not want to have secret
conversations in deserted corridors. However, Snape was persistent
and followed him, leading to a conversation between the two of
them, which fortunately remained private.
Snape caught up with Draco and grabbed him roughly by the arm,
dragging him into a deserted classroom. He slammed the door
behind them and pinned Draco against it.
'Take your hands off me!' Draco snapped at him and tried to push
him away, but Snape held him firm. He was going to make him listen.
'You need to let me help you, Draco! Don't you realise what danger
you are in?' He implored him. 'Do you realise for one minute what
you have got yourself into, who you are dealing with?' He continued.
Emotions exploded through Draco, from his heart, right out to the
tips of his fingers and toes. He trembled with rage and frustration. He
could hardly believe what Snape had just asked him!
'How stupid do you think I am?' He almost shouted. 'And what choice
do you think I had going into this, really? You think I haven't thought
about the danger I'm in? The danger my family is in? But no one can
help me, can they? No one can do anything about it. No one is there
for me. No one! Except him . The one I am in danger from, the one
you all tell me to be afraid of… And of course I'm afraid, but I have
been for ages. I have been terrified, but no one wanted to help me
then!'
A years worth of anger burst out of Draco's mouth, his eyes filled
with tears.
'If you wanted to help me, you should have done so a year ago!' He
gasped.
'Please let me help you now.' He whispered, his face inches from
Draco, an familiarity in this voice which was not entirely appropriate.
Draco reached up and brushed his lips against Snapes. Snape froze
for a moment, a mere split second, before he took hold of Draco
firmly and pressed his mouth over his, sliding his tongue into Draco's
mouth, pressing him bodily against the door. He wanted him, very
much. He didn't exactly love Draco, but by the Gods, did he want
him! And he cared about him, felt protective of him. He would be nice
to him, show him kindness in intimacy, be gentle with him. Snape
though he could give Draco what he imagined he had not had
before.
Snape thrust his hips forward and he ran his hands down Draco's
body, holding him at his narrow waist. Breaking out of the kiss he
whispered,
'I will help you, Draco! Oh Draco, I will do anything I can to help you!
Gods, I'll do anything!'
Draco's twilight grey eyes, which had been wide and staring up at
Severus, now narrowed in a dangerous and vindictive way and a
spiteful smile crept over his pretty face.
'And what do you think will happen to me if I let you fuck me? You
promise to 'help' me, but I expect when you have had what you want
you'll forget that promise! I know it's all you're after. Minutes alone
with me and you have pinned me against the wall and groped me.
You don't care about me at all. I don't think he'd be too happy with
me, would he? I am his . I belong to him .' Draco advanced towards
Snape who was, in turn, backing away from him as he spoke.
'Stop, Draco! I'm sorry, I won't touch you again.' He insisted, trying to
sound as calm as possible.
'Probably a good idea.' Draco smiled. 'I don't think he would be too
happy with you if he knew what you had just done.'
'Leave me alone, and I will never mention it.' Draco said flatly. 'I don't
want your help, I know what I am doing.'
Draco turned and flounced out of the room, slamming the door
behind him. Despite his parting comment, he had never felt less sure
of what he was doing in his life.
Chapter 30
Spring came, and with it some progress on the cabinet which lifted
Draco's sprits more than any amount of fresh air and sunshine could
have done. Objects were passing safely through the cabinet and
returning undamaged which made Draco happy, until he tried to
send the bird and it was dead when it returned. This made his blood
run cold. It actually made him cry, or perhaps he just wanted to cry
anyway.
But these moments were few and far between. The holidays were
not frequent enough and Voldemort didn't ask Narcissa to bring
Draco home too often. He was very busy. Draco worried what, or
who, he was busy with.
The day that Draco realised he had done it, he had finally fixed the
cabinet, his heart leapt. He wanted to rush and tell someone, he was
so excited, but of course there was no one he could tell. Leaving the
room of requirement, he ran to the great hall. He needed a coffee to
settle his nerves. Actually he needed something stronger, but coffee
was the best he was going to get, his own supplies of alcohol
depleted.
His mind was racing. He could get out of Hogwarts. He could use the
flue network to get to the manor from Borgin & Burkes, the
connection was secure and secret so he wouldn't be traced. Then
his port-key would tell him if he could go to Voldemort. Or he could
get a message to Voldemort that he was home and available… He
would wear his white silk shirt, and tight fitting trousers, with a black
velvet waistcoat, unfastened, casual and sexy… maybe with a
scarf…? He would tousle his hair a bit too and wear his favourite
scent…
He burst into the great hall with a sense of some urgency, needing to
calm down and compose his thoughts. His emotions were running
high, both elation and panic, what if he went home and Voldemort
was 'busy'? Busy with someone else? Draco needed to sit down and
focus his mind.
This was the last thing Draco needed right now. Potter, who stalked
him like a shadow these days, now looked like he was going to
advance towards Draco for some kind of confrontation. A year or so
ago, Draco sought out confrontation with Potter, but things were
different now. There were more important things to think about than
Potter!
It could have been considered out of character, but Draco turned and
walked away as briskly as he could without running. Harry took this
as a confirmation of guilt, guilt of what he didn't know. Possibly guilt
of trying to get that necklace thing into school. He pursued him out of
the great hall. This had gone far enough. All of Harrys emotions
around Draco welled up inside him. This had definitely gone far
enough, it was time to sort it out once and for all!
'Calm down, cool down, relax!' He told himself. 'You have done it!
You have done what you set out to do. It's not 'all alright' yet, but you
have made good progress…'
Harrys heart was racing. Malfoy was alone. Just him and Malfoy,
alone in the bathroom. There was no getting away now. Malfoy
would have to answer his questions, would have to listen to him,
couldn't hide behind his henchmen… And if he tried to run away
Harry would stop him. That would involve touching him, wouldn't it?
Grabbing hold of him and stopping him getting away, forcing him to
do what Harry wanted him to do. The concept of this gave Harry
uncomfortable flashbacks to his dream and his stomach seemed to
try to twist itself inside out. His throat dried up and everything he had
planned to say suddenly seemed to elude him.
'Malfoy…' He began.
Draco spun round and saw Harry, wand drawn. Although he had
attacked Harry in the past, he never fancied his chances in a fair
fight with him. Somehow, Harry had nearly killed Voldemort 15 years
ago. This thought terrified Draco as it meant that Harry must be very
powerful. Harry would kill Voldemort if he had the chance… Draco's
initial fear turned to rage.
'Crucio! He yelled, and Harry leapt out of the way just in time.
Draco was half sobbing. He was going to die, he knew it. He was
going to die here in this bathroom, with Potter. Potter had killed him.
He was going to die and there was something he needed to tell
someone. Something he had never dared to say, and now it was too
late. His vision began to tunnel and he felt his consciousness
beginning to slip away…
The pain was lessening and Draco found he was able to take
breaths again. He could hear crying, a girl was crying and a boy was
saying something, but it sounded like he was almost crying too. The
floor was red. The person with the healing voice had picked him up
and he was now staring downwards at the red floor. The floor wasn't
usually red. It was wet too, it moved and it was shiny.
Someone left the room and the voice-person carried Draco towards
the door. They held him in a way that felt nice, felt safe, like a father
would, although Draco's own father hadn't always been an expert at
kindness. Draco felt sure this person would help him. They had
stopped the pain after all. Summoning every scrap of strength he
had, Draco whispered,
'You mustn't talk about him just now Draco, it must stay a secret.
You are going to be ok, I promise. '
Draco had no choice but to trust the voice and it was at this point
that he lost consciousness completely and was, for a time, in no
more danger of saying anything he shouldn't.
Draco awoke hours later, although it felt to him like it could have
been days later. He was in a room which, to his eyes, was far too
bright and white. He was laying on a less than comfortable bed and
there were no blankets over him. He began to push himself upright.
'Draco! You're alright!' A high pitched voice screeched, far too close
and far too loud for his liking and a pair of arms were flung around
him, which was actually rather painful.
The arms loosened and their owner stepped back. Draco saw Pansy
and Blaise standing beside the bed on which he was laying in the
hospital wing.
'I've told everyone about what Potter did to you!' Pansy announced
vehemently.
'I don't know.' Said Draco. 'I didn't recognise it, that's what caught me
off guard… Listen, how long have I been here?' He asked, as
memories of the events leading up to his injury came flooding back.
'A couple of hours.' Blaise told him. 'Snape bought you here, he was
the first person on the scene, did some kind of healing spell on you,
pretty much saved your life from what I can gather!'
'Draco, you have hardly spoken to us all year, what's going on?'
Pansy asked, as direct as ever, and Blaise shot her an 'is this really
the right time…?' look.
Not quite feeling up to running away, Draco was captive, so he
answered her question.
'I'm sorry.' He began. 'I have had lots on my mind and it's been bad
at home, with my father away…'
'I don't do emotions all that well, you know…' Draco continued.
'Yeah, we know!' Blaise chipped in. 'You've been even more of a jerk
than usual!' It was Pansys turn to shoot him a look, but Draco half
laughed.
'We are your friends, idiot!' Pansy snapped. 'Don't shut us out.'
'I am sorry.' Draco said earnestly. 'Some things have been going on
that I can't tell people about. But a lot of it is sorted now. I'm sorry
I've been an asshole.'
'Miss Parkinson, Mr Zabini, you must leave now.' Came a strict, shrill
voice from the far end of the room. 'Now that you are satisfied that
Mr Malfoy is alright, you can wait for him in your common room.
Professor Snape wishes to talk to him now.' Madam Pomfrey
concluded.
Chapter 31
Draco felt a twinge of regret as Blaise and Pansy left. They were
good friends and he had shut them out this year. Striding towards
him was another person he had done his best to shut out. A person
who he knew had just saved his life.
Snape sat down beside Draco on the bed and once Madam Pomfrey
had returned to her office, Draco's eyes filled with tears.
'I'm sorry.' He gasped and flung his arms around Snape, quite
ignoring the fact that this was very painful, as his chest was sore
from his injury.
'Shhhh!' Snape calmed him. 'It's ok, you don't have to apologise.' He
released Draco from the hug, but they kept hold of each other.
'As I did to you. On more than one occasion.' Snape said. 'It's past
now.'
'Oh Gods!' Exclaimed Draco, who had been oblivious of this fact.
'Did anyone else hear?'
'I thought I was going to die.' Draco said quietly. 'And so I wanted…
to see him.' He concluded almost silently.
'I didn't realise how you felt, Draco.' Snape said softly.
'Has he asked you to carry out work for him?' Snape asked. While
there were having an honest conversation he may as well try to find
out what task Draco had been set.
'I ask because I don't want you to put yourself in danger.' Said
Snape. 'Your mother is concerned…'
'Nothing.' Snape lied. 'But she is your mother and she is right to be
worried for you. The Dark Lord is extremely dangerous.'
'You had some very deep wounds to your chest, Mr Malfoy.' Madame
Pomfrey told him. Fortunately we were able to treat you quickly, so
any long term scarring should be minimal…'
Draco had already unfastened his shirt to inspect the damage and
he gasped in horror as he saw deep red scars running across his
chest laterally. He looked at Snape, his eyes wide with horror.
'The dittany will reduce these dramatically over the next 48 hours.'
Snape assured him. 'I also have a long acting healing potion I will
bring to you later. With a little luck those scars will have almost
disappeared in a day or so.'
Chapter 32
Stupid bloody Potter! Draco had never hated him more than he did
right now. There was no way he could leave Hogwarts and go to see
Voldemort with such terrible scars across his body. All he could do
was hope and pray that the dittany and the healing potion did their
work over the next 48 hours.
He worried the scars would not go. He worried Snape might tell his
mother about his injuries, she had enough to deal with already. He
worried that someone would discover the cabinet, especially when
he heard that Potter and the Weasley girl had been seen hurrying to
the 4th floor looking like they had something to hide. Draco worried
they would access the room of requirement, find the cabinet and all
his hard work would be for nothing. He was a nervous wreck when
Snape appeared in the dormitory with the healing potion.
Snape had anticipated Draco's mental state and had the good sense
to bring him some Dreamless Sleep potion too. Draco took the
potion and Snape stayed watching him until he was sure he was
deeply asleep. It was hard to know which one of them was more
relieved that they were on good terms again.
The time had come. He was going to use the cabinet, pass through it
himself for the first time. He would step into it at Hogwarts and step
out at Borgin & Burkes. It would be quick and simple.
Draco's stomach was tied in knots as he opened the door of the
cabinet to step inside. He was resolved to just do it, as there was not
point losing any more time fretting over 'what ifs…'
He stepped out of the fireplace in the study and found the room
deserted. Deciding it might be best not to seek out his mother and be
forced to explain how and why he had come home, he ran straight to
his room and checked on his port-key.
The snakes eyes were not glowing, which meant Voldemort was not
there, or not available, or not alone, or something. Either way, it
wouldn't work like this. Draco's emotional rollercoaster took another
downward plunge. Was all this effort in vain? Calming himself, he
changed his clothes and styled his hair. If he took his time over this
maybe by the time he was finished, Voldemort might be available to
see him?
Posing before the mirror and making sure he looked just right, Draco
saw, to his delight, that the eyes of the snake port-key were now
glowing. He could go to Voldemort!
He grabbed the port-key with both hands and appeared in the dark
bedroom merely seconds after Voldemort himself had slammed the
door after a particularly gruelling and involved meeting of the death
eaters.
'It's alright.' Draco smiled at him. 'No one knows I'm not there.'
'I… I wanted to see you.' Draco said softly, hoping with all his heart
that Voldemort wanted to see him too.
Voldemort managed to keep Draco firmly held still with one hand
whilst fumbling with his robes with the other.
'You couldn't wait till I sent for you?' Voldemort continued. ' You are
getting rather demanding, Draco!'
With that he spread Draco's pert ass cheeks, exposing his tight hole.
He touched the puckered ring with the tip of his finger and, casting a
quick lubrication charm, he slipped his finger inside.
Still holding Draco firmly at the back of the neck, Voldemort thrust a
second finger into him and then a third. It seemed he was not in the
mood to be gentle. Draco felt a bit nervous when he was like this, he
wasn't quite predictable and Draco was not sure exactly how far he
would go. However, Draco could usually be persuaded to enjoy
whatever Voldemort wanted to do to him, and had come to trust
Voldemort's judgement above his own at times.
'Don't make a fuss, love. I know you like it rough!' Voldemort hissed
in Draco's ear, petting his blond hair gently in contrast to his
aggressive thrusts. He very much enjoyed Draco's coy little sobs,
and the uncertainty between pain and rapture.
'You come here dressed up like an expensive rent boy, you should
know what will happen!' Voldemort snarled, one hand gripping
Draco's throat. 'You can whimper and sob all you want, I know you
get off on a good hard fucking, you naughty little slut!'
Draco tipped his head back and he let out a sharp cry as Voldemort
hit him just in the right spot. And, it was really turning him on being
spoken to like that! Draco though he could happily listen to
Voldemort talk dirty all day!
'Aaaaghh…' He half gasped, half cried. Being fucked into the wall
was a little uncomfortable, painful in fact, but 'pleasure would be
empty without a little pain mixed in sometimes' Draco thought as
Voldemort slammed into him.
'This is what you came here for, isn't it?' Voldemort hissed.
'I… I came to, see you.' Draco gasped. 'I want to, be with you.'
Even in the thrill of the moment, Voldemort was touched. Draco was
delightful!
'You are mine, baby. You are all mine!' He said, squeezing Draco
tightly, and Draco, overcome with emotion managed only an
incoherent sob in response. The three little words he wanted to say
were lost somewhere in the fog of pleasure that engulfed his brain.
Draco didn't need asking twice. The thought of jerking off while
Voldemort fucked him, well, it was pretty damn hot, Draco thought.
One hand shot down and he took firm hold of his erection and
frantically began to tug his dick while Voldemort continued to plough
into him from behind.
Draco's twitching in the wake of his orgasm took Voldemort over the
edge too and with a powerful forward thrust, he shot his load into
Draco's ass, making Draco cry out again.
Draco flopped back against Voldemort's chest, resting his head back
onto his shoulder. Voldemort supported his body weight, and with
one hand, swept his hair from his face. Draco was grinning from ear
to ear! Voldemort smiled and apparated them both onto the bed.
Half an hour or so later, Voldemort sat in one corner of the bed, and
Draco in the opposite corner at the far end. Voldemort was still
dressed. Draco had removed his trousers and wore only his white
silk shirt and his underwear. His hair was very tousled now! He was
still smiling like a Cheshire cat, as he looked over at Voldemort.
'Accio Draco!' And Draco found himself dragged across the bed and
into Voldemort's lap, where he straddled him.
Draco gasped at the shock of the spell, and then giggled playfully,
hiding his face against Voldemort's shoulder. Voldemort stroked his
hair, and then down his arms, over the sleeves of his shirt.
'You know, ' Voldemort began. 'You have entirely too many clothes
on Draco. You should be naked by now. In fact you should be naked
always!' His hands moved to the buttons of Draco's shirt.
'Oh, that's ok then!' Said Draco, relieved that this was simply pillow
talk. If Voldemort had really planned to chain him up, he would
probably have just done it! 'And you'll cast a warming charm if I'm
cold?' He asked.
'Who did this to you, honey?' Voldemort demanded, adding the word
'honey' to try to assure Draco he was not in trouble, as Draco could
do doubt feel Voldemort's emotions building up…
There was a deathly silence. NOW there was anger, anger radiating
from Voldemort's face, from his body, his entire being. He was
determined not to let that anger explode in Draco's presence, so he
pressed it all deep down and simply said.
'In which case, I deeply regret that I will only get to kill him once.'
How dare Potter attack Draco? How dare Potter mark something of
Voldemort's? There was no death cruel enough for him!
'It was a fight, that's all.' Draco replied, still not looking up. 'I hate
him. He hates me.'
'I want you so stay away from him, Draco. He's dangerous.'
Voldemort warned. No one knew what Potter was capable of and
although Voldemort was 99% sure his survival as an infant had been
little more than luck, he didn't want to take chances with Draco's
safety.
'I will. I tried to, actually but he came after me.' Draco recalled. 'But it
was probably because I stunned him on the way to school this year
and then stamped on him and broke his nose…' He paused, he had
been almost thinking aloud and forgotten Voldemort was listening.
'I hate him too, especially because he hurt you. But I want you to
stay well away from him from now on. I will deal with him when the
time comes.'
Draco nodded.
'So, tell me how it is that you managed to get here today? How on
earth did you get away from school?' Voldemort imagined that Draco
had maybe escaped from a Hogsmede visit.
Draco smiled. He had been made to confess that Potter had beaten
him in a fight, but now he got to talk about a triumph!
Draco blushed. Rare moments like this made him aware that
Voldemort was much older than he was, and even without all the
other factors which made it 'wrong', their relationship would still be
controversial! Draco wondered just what age Voldemort actually was.
He had never asked him.
'The cabinet is twinned with one at Borgin & Burkes. The one at
Hogwarts was broken, but I fixed it.' He said the last few words in a
nonchalant manner, as if it had been nothing at all.
'I just really hate being stuck there with no way out.' He said
honestly.
It was Voldemort's turn to lean in and kiss him. He cupped his face
and gently lifted his chin, looking into Draco's eyes.
'I will have to go back before 9am tomorrow morning.' Draco warned.
'Otherwise they will realise I'm not there.'
'That still gives us 10 hours before you will have to leave.' He said
with a smile. 'That's plenty of time.'
And with that, they melted into an adoring embrace and a deep,
passionate kiss.
Draco fought with Potter. Voldemort didn't know why this surprised
him so much, he knew Draco could be scrappy at times, but it was
strange to think he actually fought with someone. He had actually
attacked Potter, because he hated him. He had fixed the vanishing
cabinet. Had laboured over it, despite the impression he had wanted
to give, it would not have been easy. He had fixed it because he
wanted to come to here. Wanted it desperately.
Laying down beside him, Voldemort knew he felt feelings for Draco
that he never intended to feel.
Chapter 33
Sitting alone in his room, Snape stared into the fire, brooding. A
chalice of red wine held loosely in one hand, he mused over
thoughts that troubled him.
Snape had assumed, perhaps rightly in the very first instances, that
Draco was Voldemort's lover simply because he had no choice. He
assumed that any consent that Draco may have given, had been
forced, and that Draco was being used against his will. After the
Septum Sempra incident, when Draco had asked to be taken to the
Dark Lord, Snape was compelled to consider that Draco's
'relationship' with Voldemort may have been consensual after all. Of
course, Draco's 'consent' didn't make it right. Even if he hadn't simply
been frightened into giving it, there was the age gap to consider. And
the fact that Draco was 15 when the affair began, and so therefore
was not old enough to give consent anyway.
However it had come about, Draco undeniably had 'feelings' for the
Dark Lord now, and this meant he had a loyalty towards him. A
loyalty which Snape did not have.
Snape had known Draco since his childhood and had always seen in
Draco a huge capacity for love, devotional love, love that was fierce,
strong and determined. It was something he felt they had in
common. Both from families where, for one reason or another, love
was not freely shown and violence was a feature. Snape noticed that
Draco, like himself, harboured a deep seated need to be loved and
to lavish his fervent affections onto another, whether or not it was
deserved, whether or not it was returned. If Draco loved Voldemort,
he would be entirely loyal to him at all costs. Draco would most likely
end up dead. Just like everyone Snape ever let himself care about.
This had gone far enough, something needed to be done.
'It's Draco. Malfoy.' He added, not wanting to sound over familiar with
the boy.
'Ah, yes.' Replied Dumbledore. 'A very troubled young man. But tell
me, what is it about Draco Malfoy that is troubling you?' He asked.
'I do not know to what you are referring.' He said simply. 'Potter is
paranoid and delusional if he thinks that Draco is a death eater.
There is no sign of the dark mark upon him, that much was clear
when he was in the hospital wing last week. And I do not know what
other situation you can mean.'
'Yes.' Said Snape, coldly. 'He came to me about that too when she
refused to help him.' He paused. 'Headmaster, if you suspected
Draco was being abused by the Dark Lord, why in the name of
Merlin did you not do something about it?'
'Maybe for the same reasons you didn't do anything about it,
Severus. And maybe for other reasons too. I had no proof, only
suspicions. You are the one who could have come to me and asked
for help on his behalf, are you not?'
'At first I had hoped it was simply a rumour invented to taunt Draco's
father.' Snape responded. 'By the time I had evidence of it, it was too
late.'
The first time Snape had witnessed Draco and Voldemort together
had been at the meeting where he had been asked to 'join' them. By
that point, Draco had been 'trained' by Voldemort, as Snape
understood it. It would have been too late to simply 'rescue' him.
'I fear that however frightened and bullied Draco was in the early
days, he, well… He no longer feels that way.' Snape said bluntly. 'I
believe he is quite devoted to the Dark Lord. I believe he has been
coerced into having feelings for him.'
'And this troubles you?'
Dumbledore sighed.
'If Draco lives at all!' Snape interjected. 'If he doesn't end up killed
before he even comes of age!'
'As may be the fate of any of our students, Severus. These are dark
times, and you and I know I will not be here much longer to offer
protection to them.'
Snape sighed.
Draco had been to visit him several times via the vanishing cabinet
and a small number of the death eaters were aware of the
arrangement.
'My Lord.' Bellatrix had simpered. 'If my darling nephew can get in
and out of the school via this cabinet, surely that means, we all
can…?' Her eyes twinkled with excitement.
He visited the manor and had a rare one to one conversation with
Narcissa. He greeted her a little more kindly than he would have
done in a more public setting. He instructed her to bring Draco home
on Thursday.
'Bring him home and keep him here with you. I shall not send for him
to come to me. An attack is to be made on the school, and therefore
Draco will be safest if he is here with you.' He told her clearly.
Back at the Riddle house, Wormtail sulked over the lack of success
he had had with his plan to get rid of Draco. The brat had made no
real attempt to kill Dumbledore, and Voldemort seemed fonder of him
than ever. Wormtail was not allowed to see Draco in the flesh very
often. Voldemort was still suspicious of how he had taunted him in
the summer. But Wormtail had heard them together from time to
time. Aside from how distasteful he found it to have to listen to Draco
moaning like a bitch while Voldemort fucked him, it was more
troublesome to Wormtail to hear other aspects of their relationship.
He heard them talking, even heard them laughing together
sometimes, and it was this that worried him.
'Of course he's not worthy of it!' She snapped. 'What business is it of
yours?'
'Maybe he's jealous, Bella. Either he wants that little boy for himself,
or perhaps he sees himself in Draco's place…?'
'I simply want the mission to succeed.' Wormtail said coolly. 'I am not
sure it is good for the Dark Lord to be so distracted. If, by some
mistake, Draco was in school on the night of the attack, well…
accidents do happen…' He grinned.
'Yeah.' Greyback supported. 'As much as I'd like to get my claws into
him, I'd no sooner harm that boy than I would that bloody great
snake! I've no desire to experience a slow and torturous death,
thanks very much!' He turned to leave. 'I will see you later, Bella.
This idiot has nothing useful to say!'
'My Lady, please, listen!' Wormtail implored her. 'I have a plan in
motion to get that brat out of the way for good. Everyone knows that
the Dark Lord would be benefit from a better companion.' He smiled
suggestively. 'Once he comes to power he is sure to realise that he
needs someone beside him who is as ruthless and brilliant as he
is… And I can think of few who are…' He simpered.
Bellatrix still did not want to listen, but what he implied, and the hope
it inspired in her bought Wormtail a few more minutes of her time.
'What do you mean, 'get him out of the way'?' She asked. Wormtail
smiled.
'You realise the Dark Lord, rather misguidedly, prizes him for his
innocence…?' Wormtail began. Bellatrix scoffed.
'Innocence? What rubbish! I've heard all about the things that filthy
little slut does for the Dark Lord's pleasure! He's about as far from
innocent as you can get!'
'He has never killed, my Lady.' Wormtail grinned. 'His soul is still
untainted.'
'I can't fathom it.' Said Wormtail. 'But that is what makes Draco
different from the rest of us. Makes him a frivolous diversion. I am
sure there is no strength of feeling on the Dark Lord's part, and he
can hardly have any respect for the boy, of course!'
Bellatrix nodded.
'I can't be sure, but the boy has no real special qualities, so I can
think of nothing else to explain it. It would be of benefit to all
concerned if he was out of the picture, either because the Dark Lord
has tired of him and no longer thinks him 'special', or because he is
killed.'
'No, of course not.' Wormtail agreed. 'But we won't have to. Albus
Dumbledore is going to kill Draco.'
'I told Draco back in the summer that if he is to avoid being cast
aside by the Dark Lord, then he must prove himself to be devoted to
him by vanquishing one of his enemies. I frightened the boy into
believing that he must kill Dumbledore.' Wormtail said proudly.
'Well he hasn't done it yet, has he? He has been at school all year
and hasn't done it.' She retorted.
'Your sister has been told to bring the boy home from school on
Thursday for his own safety. If we were to tell her there had been a
change of plan and she has to bring him home on Friday instead, we
can take care of this little problem once and for all.'
Draco, who had not been able to independently escape Hogwarts for
a week, was feeling a little twitchy. He did not want to just turn up at
Voldemort's house all the time, uninvited, in case he was being too
demanding. He wanted to be summoned, he wanted to be asked for.
That way he knew he was wanted. In school, he made a conscious
effort to reconnect with Pansy and Blaise, in order to keep himself
distracted.
It was late. The three of them had been outside, having a sly
cigarette and a drink of Fire Whiskey from a hip flask which Pansy
had hidden in her bra. Draco took a drink from it in spite of this fact,
and Blaise, because of it. They had talked and laughed, and Draco
realised it had been a long time since he had had this type of fun
with his friends. He had really missed them. The mood was cheerful
as they turned into the long corridor which would take them towards
the common room, but their bubble of light heartedness was about to
burst in a most dramatic way.
All three of them stopped in their tracks. They could hear screaming.
Pansy grabbed both Draco and Blaise's hands. Screaming wasn't
uncommon at Hogwarts. It could be a spell gone wrong that could be
easily fixed by a professor… Maybe Peeves was terrorising first
years again? Perhaps that oaf Hagrid had let some horrible creature
escape…? This screaming sounded more serious than that. There
were several people screaming, there were voices shouting, children
and adults, and people were running.
Draco was not sure whether to run towards or away from the noise,
but Blaise and Pansy both ran into the school to see what the
commotion was. Draco was carried along with them.
They rounded the corner and were horrified by the sight before them.
A full blown battle was taking place. Spells were flying, people were
hurt and no teacher or adult was stopping it. They had merely split
seconds to realise that some of the people fighting WERE adults.
Draco realised who they were and instantly dived on top of his two
friends, knocking them back into the shelter of an alcove, behind a
suit of armour. He peered out, making sure they stayed behind him.
What the hell was going on?
'You have to get back to the common room.' Draco hissed at them.
'Look, we'll make a dash for it while they are distracted.'
Draco was not sure why this was happening, but was fairly confident
that the death eaters wouldn't attack him. And therefore the best
chance Blaise and Pansy had of remaining unharmed was to be with
him or safely in the Slytherin dormitory. He dragged them to their feet
and keeping close to the wall they ran towards the stairs to the
common room.
The limp body of the 3rd year Ravenclaw girl flopped at their feet
and Pansy screamed for real this time as she was the girls bloody,
slashed face, her eyes wide and glacial, staring coldly into infinity.
Greyback stopped in his tracks when he saw Draco, and took a step
back. Draco had never been so relieved! He ushered the utterly
gobsmacked Pansy and Blaise past him.
The fight scene was chaos. Draco couldn't follow what was
happening. It all seemed to happen too fast, but yet in slow motion at
the same time. He ran, dodging spells, unsure which side was
throwing them. Suddenly a bony hand grabbed his shoulder and
dragged him into a small store room where two dark figures held
him.
'Attacking the school!' She laughed. 'It's what we do, sweetie, didn't
you know?' She cackled with delight. 'And it's all thanks to you and
your cleverness at fixing that cabinet. And we all thought you were
only good for one thing! But it turns out you have a brain as well!'
Draco's head swam and his stomach churned. The death eaters had
attacked the castle via the vanishing cabinet. HIS vanishing cabinet.
This was not what it was for! He was not naive enough to think that it
wouldn't have been used to access the castle by others, but he had
imagined stealth missions perhaps, not an outright bloody
massacres of students. Children were being killed. He had made this
possible. Had Voldemort commanded this? Draco felt betrayed.
Beyond that, he felt ridiculous. What possessed him to think that this
wouldn't happen?
'Draco!' Wormtail grabbed him and spoke to him, face to face. Mere
inches were between them, Draco could smell Wormtails putrid
breath with every word he spat.
'You have wasted too much time already! The Dark Lord has ordered
this attack on the castle so that one of us can dispatch Albus
Dumbledore for him. Had you already done it, this would not have
been necessary.'
'You MUST act now, to save yourself and your family, Draco! This
very night he is meeting with a family who he has newly recruited,
they have a very attractive son, and a daughter. His tastes are not
limited, Draco! The Dark Lord has been very keen that they attend
meetings…'
Wormtail paused again, to give time for this suggestion to sink in. He
didn't need to give it any time. Draco was instantly close to tears,
Wormtail may as well have hit him with the Cruciatus curse.
'It may not be too late. Hurry to the Headmasters tower. If you can be
the one to find him, to kill him, you may yet convince the Dark Lord
of your devotion and of your value. Go! Now! You will not get another
chance!'
With that he shoved the terrified Draco out into the hallway. Draco
was so confused and disorientated at first he didn't even know which
way to turn to get to Dumbledore's office. It wasn't somewhere he
had been very often. Collecting his thoughts, he turned and ran.
The trouble was, he couldn't let his guard down and try to feel their
thoughts. Dumbledore was as good a Legilimens as you could ever
hope to meet and it was taking all Draco's concentration to stop him
entering his mind already, without opening up to try to 'hear'
someone else.
'You have no idea what I have done, what I'm capable of!' Draco
snapped, when Dumbledore suggested that he did not have the
character of a death eater.
'It isn't your fault, Draco, you are not to blame for what has happened
to you…' Dumbledore's voice broke into Draco's thoughts.
This confirmed to Draco that there was someone else in the room,
otherwise Dumbledore would speak out loud to him. Why
communicate mentally if they were alone?
'I have to kill you, or he's going to kill me…' Draco sobbed, although
it was not the thought of death that frightened him.
Dumbledore offered him help. 'The order can keep you safe…' He
promised.
The door flew open and Snape, Bellatrix and 2 other death eaters
burst into the room.
Sprit broken, Draco began to lower his wand. He could not do it, he
was not like his aunt Bellatrix. He was defeated. His friends may
have been injured, his lover no longer wanted him, school children
had been killed and it was his fault. They could take him to
Voldemort, tell him he was a failure. Voldemort could kill him. What
better way to say goodbye? ' That was always how this was going to
end.' Draco thought.
'We cannot chose who we love, Draco, but we can always chose our
own actions.'
'Avada Kedavra!' A firm, icy voice said, and a shot of green light
leapt from Snapes wand and hit the headmaster in the chest. Draco
could not believe his eyes. Snape had done what he could not.
Snape had murdered Dumbledore!
Draco ran with the death eaters, but he knew he did not belong with
them. How long before they had the pleasure of torturing and killing
him? Was he their prisoner now? He had nowhere else to go.
Nowhere was safe. So he ran with them. The one person there he
thought he could have trusted, Snape, had just murdered a man in
cold blood right before his eyes. The whole world was crazy. In the
space of 15 minutes he had gone from laughing with his school
friends, to being on the run with a group of killers, who would
probably turn on him before the day was out. If he survived this day
and lived to tell the tale, this would be the day that his life turned
upside down. Nothing could ever make things how they had been
before.
Snape yelled a few parting shots at Potter and grabbed Draco's arm.
They lurched forward and there was a high pitched sound as they
disapparated away from the scene of the crime, away from
Hogwarts, away from the last safe place Draco knew.
Chapter 36
With so many of them apparating together, the arrival was messy.
Fleeing from an attack, they appeared in the room with the long
table, stumbling, and falling unceremoniously over one another, out
of breath after the chase, flushed and sweaty. Bellatrix looked
thoroughly exhilarated and Wormtail looked disgustingly pleased
with himself, especially when he noticed the terrified Draco beside
Snape.
Voldemort sat alone at the head of the long table, in his throne-like
chair.
Voldemort nodded. He had not yet noticed Draco as the death eaters
were still something of a disordered rabble. Snape stepped forward.
'Not by the one who had the first chance to do it, though, my Lord.'
Wormtail added. 'One who caught him off guard, and had him
defenceless for some time before Severus arrived.'
They looked a little taken a back, except Bellatrix and Wormtail, who
exchanged devious smiles, imagining how Draco would be tortured
after they left.
'Go! Leave us!' Voldemort roared, and his followers obeyed with
haste.
The room empty he turned to Draco. His ferocious red eyes and his
ragged breathing betrayed his rage. Draco could only once recall
seeing him look so angry, the night he had first taken him from the
manor. Draco was very frightened, and knew he had good reason to
be. He had failed the Dark Lord, just like his father had done. He
would be punished for his failure. He was punishing himself already.
'You don't deserve his attentions any more, you never did! You have
no right to be with him if you can't do what is required of you. You
deserve any punishment you get!'
'What the HELL were you doing!?' Voldemort shouted, grabbing hold
of Draco's shoulders and shaking him so hard that he couldn't
possibly have answered, even if he had known what to say.
Draco could not speak. Somehow all the trauma of the night so far
hit him all at once. He opened him mouth to try to give a response
but no sound came. His eyes wide with fright, he stared at
Voldemort. Voldemort was so angry, but Draco was confused, more
so than ever… It didn't seem like Voldemort was angry that he hadn't
killed Dumbledore…
'I told you to keep safe!' Voldemort shouted at him. 'After Potter
injured you, I told you to keep safe. You PROMISED you would! You
disobeyed me!'
He struck Draco again, this time knocking him to the floor. Draco was
in so much pain now, he could hardly think straight. He felt dizzy and
sick. He could hear Voldemort's words, but was unable to answer
him, as he couldn't form a sentence or order his thoughts.
'At last.' Draco thought. The pain in his head was so intense that he
thought death would at least release him from it. 'I hope it will be
quick.' Tears filled his eyes. If he was going to be killed, he wanted it
to be by Voldemort.
Voldemort grappled with his anger, with his fears, and with other
emotions he was by no means accustomed to. He did not want to do
this, but Draco had disobeyed him, he needed to be punished. How
else would he learn? If he wasn't punished he might put himself in
danger again. He could end up… Voldemort couldn't bear to think of
it.
'Crucio!' He shouted, and a jet of green light hit the trembling boy in
front of him.
Draco had been hit by the cruciatus curse before, but not like this.
Voldemort could cast this spell with a force hither to unknown by
Draco. He had never known pain like this. His whole body seemed at
once to be on fire, internally, externally. Every millimetre of his skin
felt like it was being slashed by razors. Every muscle spasmed,
every internal organ convulsed. Blunt spikes drilled into his brain. His
whole body felt like it was being ripped apart. Draco had no concept
of how long the spell lasted, it seemed to go on and on forever. He
writhed on the floor, his voice returned to him and he screamed,
sobbed and choked in agony. Then the pain became so great he
was hardly able to draw breath and he felt himself begin to suffocate.
'He could have killed you!' Voldemort cried, choked with emotion.
'Don't you realise? He could have fucking killed you!'
Draco tried to make sense of the words and remember to what they
related. Some strength returning, he managed to get to his hands
and knees. He glanced at Voldemort. He no longer had his wand
drawn.
'I told you to stay safe, you promised you would!' Voldemort shouted
at him as he staggered to his feet.
'I'm… sorry…' Draco stammered.
'What happened, what did you do?' Voldemort asked, still shaking
with anger and wanting to know exactly how the situation had come
about.
At the force of the impact, Draco fell back down, but he fell badly,
spinning round as he did. He was aware at first of a great pain where
Voldemort had hit him, then of a second as he landed. The throne-
like chair on which Draco had caught his head, now obscured him
slightly from Voldemort's view as he lay on the floor.
Adrenalin coursing through him, and his heart rate racing, Voldemort
tried desperately to calm himself. Draco must have some
explanation for this. If he could only stay calm enough to find it out…
He looked down at Draco laying on the ground. Draco was not
moving.
Draco was not moving. Not at all. Not making any sound, not a sob,
or a drawing of breath. Voldemort's heart stopped still. Draco was
NOT MOVING.
He flung himself down beside the boy and pulled Draco into his
arms. Draco's eyes were closed, he was losing blood rapidly.
Voldemort grabbed his wand and uttered a spell to fix the wound, to
at least prevent any further blood loss, but was it too late? Healing
spells had never been his forte.
His robes were soaked with Draco's blood and he held Draco close
in a desperate embrace. His eyes felt like they were burning, his face
was wet… He was crying. Voldemort could not remember crying
before.
'Please wake up, Draco please! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry my love.
Please, please don't die. Please, not like this, I need you, please.' He
gasped incoherently, rocking Draco back and forth in his arms. He
would not let go of him. If he didn't let go, he could believe that there
was a chance that Draco would take a breath… any moment now…
'It's ok, Draco, my darling. It's ok. Stay with me, I will get help.'
Draco did not know why Voldemort was crying. He did could not
recall why he was in such pain, why he was on the floor, where they
were… but he knew it was Voldemort who was holding him and he
gave a faint smile, which took great effort.
This prompted a deep sob from Voldemort, who held him yet more
tightly.
'You'll be ok, honey, just stay with me. I am so sorry, please forgive
me Draco!' Voldemort wept.
Then Draco knew he was dying, in his mind he was sure of it. He
had thought he was going to die after Harry had hit him with the
Septum Sempra spell, but this was different. He was ready for it now.
He was with the one person he needed to be with and so somehow it
was all ok. He could feel his consciousness slipping away, could feel
blankets of mist creeping in and wrapping around him… But there
was still something he needed to say.
Summoning every last scrap of his strength his lips parted and he
looked up into Voldemort's eyes and managed to whisper softly,
before his head fell back and his eyes gently fluttered closed.
Chapter 37
Voldemort screamed and held Draco tightly against his body. Draco
could not die! Voldemort was the Dark Lord, he would not let it
happen! If there was any kind of bargain that could be made, with
any kind of deity who could help Draco, he would make it. He would
sell the last piece of his soul to save Draco's life if had to!
Nagini approached him rapidly and hissed at him loudly. She moved
her face in close to Draco's, her tongue darting over his skin. She
hissed at Voldemort again, who understood her and grabbing his
wand, used the dark mark to summon the best healer he knew.
Nagini had correctly indentified that he was still breathing, but only
faintly. She could feel his life source, his body heat, it was fading, but
it was not too late, not yet.
Snape rushed to his side. He had no time to lose mourning over how
this must have happened, and berating himself for abandoning
Draco to this fate. Action was needed NOW in order to save the boy.
It was gone two in the morning when Draco began to stir fitfully.
Voldemort, who had been pacing back and forth anxiously, was at
the bedside in seconds.
Voldemort did not want to answer this, but if it would help save Draco
then he would have to do so.
Shortly before three, Draco's eyes opened for the first time since he
lost consciousness. Unsure of where he was or what was
happening, he looked up and saw a face he knew. It was his father's
friend, professor Snape, looking down at him.
'It's ok, Draco.' Snape said calmly, leaning over him, excluding
Voldemort from his view. 'You have been injured, but you are going
to be ok. You need to take some potions.'
'You need to sleep now.' He said softly. 'You will probably sleep for
several hours, but that's just what you need to do. Rest, you are
going to be ok.'
Voldemort would not let him leave. He insisted Snape stay in a guest
room across the hall in case he was needed.
Snape listened carefully to the tone of the Dark Lord's voice. He had
never heard him speak this way, with so much concern, not even
about Nagini. What had happened here tonight after the death eaters
had left? Why had Voldemort hurt Draco so badly and then been so
desperate to save him?
So furious had he been about the danger Draco had put himself in,
he had nearly killed him himself. His greatest fear, he had almost
brought about by his own hand. Draco was breathing softly and
lightly. Voldemort watched in silence.
'I love you…' That was what Draco had said to him. He had never
said that before. Voldemort wondered if by some miracle he would
ever say it again?
'Settle him back to sleep…' That's what Snape had said. Voldemort
dearly wanted to do this himself, not to have to call for Severus to
calm Draco. He wanted to reassure him himself, because if he could
then maybe there was a chance things could be ok again. A chance
that maybe Draco would forgive him and maybe, just maybe, given
time, he would say those words again…
'I have to fix the cabinet!' Draco exclaimed, gripping at the bed
covers anxiously. It was unclear just who he was talking to. 'I have to
go and work on it now or it'll be too late!'
Voldemort realised with horror that Draco was about to try to stand
up, and that this must be the delirium that Snape had warned about.
Quick as a flash, he took hold of Draco, gently but firmly. He sat
behind him, leaning against the headboard. He could hold Draco
with his arms and legs, Draco could lean back against him. Draco
could writhe and move but not fall or escape. And Draco wouldn't be
frightened because he couldn't see who it was who held him.
Draco tried to break out of the hold, but he was very weak.
'No, love. It's fixed. You don't need to fix it now, you just need to rest.'
Voldemort assured him.
'If it's fixed then I must go to him!' Draco cried. 'I must go before it's
too late!' He wriggled, trying to get away.
Voldemort frowned.
'He will kill me!' Draco sobbed. 'He will kill me because I'm not clever
enough to fix it!'
'Who will kill you, Draco?' Voldemort asked, trying to sound as calm
as possible.
'The Dark Lord will kill me.' Whispered Draco. 'When he is bored of
me.'
Voldemort rocked him back and forth and stroked him. Where had
Draco got these ideas from? Was he simply a morbid fantasist, or
was there more to it?
'He does need you, Draco.' Voldemort said with great sincerity.
'He has others.' Draco whispered. 'I have to prove that I am special
so that he won't kill me.'
'There are others!' Draco exclaimed. 'And the last one, who was
given to the dementors…'
'What?' He asked.
'The last boy, he was given to the dementors in the end, when the
Dark Lord was bored of him.' Draco sobbed.
'Who told you this?' Voldemort said a little sharply, deciding it was
unlikely that Draco would have entirely fabricated this story, even in
a delirious state.
He moved from behind him and, keeping a firm hold of him, he sat in
front of him and looked into his eyes.
'You are with me, Love! I am here. It's all ok!' He whispered.
'It's not time for that now, love. It's time to sleep.' He replied.
'We need to sleep now, Draco love. We can do other things later, but
now we need to sleep. I will keep hold of you though, if that will make
you feel better?' Voldemort basked in delight at the thought that
Draco might feel better for his presence after everything that had
happened, even if it was only because he was delirious!
Draco turned to face him, and curled up close under his arm, head
resting on his shoulder. His breathing still a little unsteady after
crying.
He repeated the words over and over again like a mantra until it
lulled them both to sleep
Chapter 39
A gentle but persistent knocking at the door awoke Voldemort the
next day. Memories of the previous evening flooding back, he
anxiously looked down at Draco who was still curled up beside him.
Draco was sleeping peacefully and although he moaned a little as
Voldemort disentangled himself from his embrace, Voldemort
whispered some reassurance and he turned and went back to sleep
untroubled.
'He slept well, only waking once.' Voldemort told him. 'He was
delirious, but I calmed him down and then he was alright.' Voldemort
tried not to sound too proud about this, although he was, very much
so.
'It will do him good to sleep a while longer.' Snape replied. 'When he
wakes, he can take the second dose of healing potions, then I
expect he will be a good deal better. By this afternoon, he may be
strong enough to get up…'
Snape had almost said 'he may be strong enough to leave…' But he
was unsure if that was what Voldemort had planned. And of course,
places where he could go would be limited after the nature of his
arrival here. Dumbledore's death would be headline news this
morning. Narcissa would know what had happened, she would either
have been taken into custody by the ministry or collected by some of
the death eaters. Snape knew not which. He would have sent word
to her that Draco was alive, but he had been so distracted by saving
Draco's life, he had not forgotten what had happened, but had not
had time to think on the consequences of it.
'I want you to stay with him.' Voldemort said, in a commanding tone.
'Stay with him, give him potions, any healing spells he may need,
anything.'
'Of course my Lord.' Snape replied.
'Good.' Voldemort said firmly. 'I will return later, but I'm afraid that I
have a rather pressing task to attend to.' His eyes narrowed and
glowed dangerously. 'There is someone I need to see…'
'You are lucky to be alive this morning, Draco.' Snape said softly.
'How many life debts do I owe you now?' Draco's voice was weak,
but he smiled at Snape as he spoke.
'You don't owe me anything.' Snape sat down beside him. 'But I
would dearly like never have to save your life again. I'm fond of you,
it pains me to see you in danger or hurt.'
Draco felt oddly guilty for a person who had just been the victim of
an attack that had nearly killed him.
'You don't need to be sorry. I… I don't know what happened here last
night…' Snape began, but stopped, unsure what the end of that
sentence should be.
'I don't remember all of it.' Draco answered. For the first time since
the cruciatus curse had hit him, Draco began to try to piece together
events and make sense of what had happened.
Snape frowned.
'The Dark Lord attacked you with some kind of blunt object, I
assume?' Snape continued, wanting to change the subject, although
this topic was only marginally better.
'The injury that nearly killed you was a blow to the head from a hard
object.' Snape told him.
'He healed that wound himself initially.' Snape said. 'Then he sent for
me. He was desperate to save you.'
Draco's eyes were wide. Wormtail had really been lying and all the
emotions Draco had felt at the times he was alone with Voldemort
were real!
'I don't know what happened, and I don't know what will happen
next, but I hope you can stay safe.' Snape concluded.
'I have heard nothing.' Snape told him. 'I have been here all night.
She knew nothing of the attack so if the ministry have taken her into
custody she will not be able to give them any answers.'
'What about you?' Draco asked. 'You will be wanted, won't you? So
will I.'
'Yes.' Snape conceded. 'In spite of everything and my good sense
telling my otherwise, my instincts tell me you will be safest if you stay
here.'
Draco thought on this situation quietly. They were all 'on the run'.
Wanted killers. They had to live in hiding. He felt oddly panicked and
claustrophobic as he realised that it would be impossible for him to
leave and do something simple like walk down the street. He
realised that this was how it was for Voldemort all of the time. He felt
a rush of empathy for him.
He frowned, his mind turning over and over, musing on the problem.
If Voldemort wanted to control the wizarding world, Draco was
beginning to think his tactics were far from effective in the long run…
He would give this some more thought… but for now…
'Certainly.' Snape replied. 'I will prepare you some food while you do
in case you are hungry afterwards.' 'Anything he needs, see that he
gets it.' It all made no sense, Snape thought, but there was nothing
he could do, besides pick up the pieces once it was all too late. He
would just continue to do so.
Chapter 40
Voldemort returned in the early afternoon. He spoke briefly with
Snape who assured him that Draco was well, still a little weak, but
out of danger. Gratitude evident in his face, Voldemort dismissed
Snape and gave him co-ordinates of a secret location where he
could go. The second Snape departed, Voldemort rushed to Draco.
The air was warm and balmy and sunlight streamed in through the
windows that sunny afternoon. Draco sat alone in the centre of the
bed, fresh and clean after his bath, he almost seemed to glow,
bathed as he was, in golden sunlight. He looked pure, new and
untouched. Ethereal and otherworldly. He looked up at Voldemort,
with such clarity and knowing in his eyes. A new chapter was
beginning.
Voldemort rushed to him and they fell into each other's arms.
Hugging each other tightly trying to take in every sensation, touch,
sight, smell, neither spoke for several minutes.
Draco squeezed his eyes shut as the last 2 years of his life flashed
through his mind. How had he come to be here? To have done the
things he had done, and to feel the things he felt? He remembered
an encounter, long ago, when Voldemort had come to him and he
had tried so hard to resist his embrace. Now, he held him and
wanted never to let go. 'This should be wrong…' He thought to
himself, 'but somehow it isn't…'
At length, they released one another and sat facing each other,
hands held.
'Why didn't you talk to me?' Voldemort began. He spoke more
directly than ever before, paving the way for the most honest
conversation they had had.
Draco gasped, and half laughed, shaking his head. He was not
angry, just surprised.
'Of you !' He answered. 'You don't realise, do you? You are
absolutely terrifying!'
'Yes.' Said Draco honesty. 'You are the Dark Lord. I'm just some
stupid kid.'
'I was so scared that you would get bored of me.' Draco interrupted
him.
' You might get bored of me!' Voldemort threw back at him.
'Am I allowed to do that?' Draco asked, aware that it was not a nice
thing to say, but this was the time to be honest.
'Are you here because you want to be, or because you think you
have no choice?' His heart ready to break if Draco gave the wrong
answer.
Voldemort's eyes burned with tears again, as they had done the
night before, but this time it felt entirely different. He kissed Draco's
forehead gently.
'I'm so sorry.' He whispered. 'I hurt you so badly. How can I ever
make it up to you?'
'But you've been injured… I'm not sure I should…' He began, but
Draco cut him off.
Their lips locked together and Draco parted his lips to allow
Voldemort to explore his mouth. Voldemort did so and Draco sucked
his tongue in response. Their kiss grew hungrier and more intense. It
had been too long since they had kissed like this. Draco felt both
ecstasy and relief wash over him as he yielded to Voldemort's touch,
as he welcomed his lips against his own. He was so hungry for this.
'Be gentle.' Voldemort reminded himself. He didn't mind, on this
occasion he was glad to be able to take his time with Draco. The
feelings between them were electrifying and it was worth savouring
every moment. Voldemort cradled the back of Draco's head with one
hand, and skilfully slid the other under his shirt and began to caress
his back.
Draco's thin pale hands were gripping Voldemort tightly, digging into
his shoulders, and his head was tilted back as Voldemort thrust his
tongue deeper into his mouth. Draco whimpered and thrust his hips
against Voldemort, desperate for more contact with him.
Voldemort removed Draco's shirt and let it fall onto the bed. He tilted
Draco's head to the side, exposing his long elegant neck and moved
his lips lightly over the sensitive flesh. Draco shivered beautifully in
his arms and drew his breath as Voldemort kissed his neck, first
gently, then more deeply. Draco cried out as Voldemort began to
suck at the delicate skin ferociously, leaving a purple bruise on his
pale skin. Marking him, claiming him, confirming that Draco was his.
Draco trembled with desire and his stomach twisted with nerves. The
way Voldemort kissed him, the way he touched him, his gentleness
and care… Draco felt like this was his first time.
Voldemort buried his face in Draco's fair hair and found his way to
the other side of Draco's neck, sucking and licking him. Then he
dragged his tongue over Draco's collar bone, eliciting a beautiful
moan of desire from the boy. He ran his hand over Draco's chest and
pinched one of his nipples, making the skin pucker instantly and
Draco jumped in surprise and gasp with pleasure.
Draco could feel Voldemort smile against the sensitive skin at the
side of his neck.
He affectionately ran his cool hands down Draco's back and over the
smooth curve of his ass cheeks.
Voldemort ran his fingers gently down the cleft between Draco's
cheeks. He lightly touched the puckered ring with his fingertip and
Draco shuddered, with both nerves and desire. Voldemort pressed
his finger there, without penetrating him. The muscles felt tight, no
doubt due in part to the amount of healing potions Draco had taken
in the last 24 hours. It simply added to the feeling that this was their
first time all over again.
Draco closed his eyes and sighed deeply with pleasure. However
tight he was, there was no pain, Voldemort was being so gentle with
him.
He took his time toying with him, knowing that Draco was desperate
to be fucked.
'You are ready when I say you are ready.' Voldemort replied and
Draco got a secret kick from Voldemort asserting control over him in
this way. He moaned needily.
'Oh Gods! Please take me now!' Draco cried at length when he could
stand the teasing no longer.
'Fuck me.' Draco said softly as he tilted his hips upwards to allow
Voldemort to access him.
'I don't want to fuck you, baby.' He whispered. 'I want to make love to
you.' He kissed him again. 'I love you, Draco. I really love you.'
Draco thought his heart might stop, or his entire body might explode,
or his brain might cease to function, so great was the intensity of
emotion he felt. Voldemort had never said that before!
'I love you.' Draco gasped in reply. 'I love you so much! Gods! I love
you so much!'
It was Voldemort's turn to think his heart might stop. Draco loved
him. After everything that he had done, Draco loved him. Draco
loved him!
Draco cried out as Voldemort touched him. It had never been like
this before. It was sexual, yes, but not dirty and lust-fuelled as it
often was for them. Draco enjoyed those times, certainly, but the
sheer emotion and the connection between them now elevated the
sex to a whole new level. Draco had realised some time ago that
theirs was a union that no one else could understand. Now he
realised that they themselves had not truly understood it until this
moment.
Voldemort kissed him and caressed him as they made love. There
was a time Draco would not have coped with this, he would have
fought it, he would have needed to make it 'just sex' again. He felt so
differently now!
It was hearing these words again which pushed Draco over the
edge. He came, holding Voldemort tightly, looking into Voldemort's
eyes. His whole body shook and as he reached up to kiss
Voldemort's lips, he brought the Dark Lord to climax too.
He lay beside Draco and held him. Neither of them spoke as they
acclimatised to this new place. Draco looked back on the events of
the day before. They seemed so long ago, those emotions he had
felt, the insecurity, the doubt, they all felt so distant now. It seemed
such madness that he had not just told Voldemort everything. He
remembered how afraid he had been, but it seemed so ridiculous
now. He smiled, his face against Voldemort's chest.
For some reason, Voldemort loved him. Him. Of all people, he loved
him! He had chosen him to be the one he trusted, the one he cared
for, the one who kept his secrets. Draco didn't know why Voldemort
had chosen him, why he had fallen in love with him, but he felt
happiness beyond any words he could offer to explain it as they lay
together in that perfect moment.
'I'm sorry, I should have talked to you.' Draco answered. They sat up
and faced each other, ready to talk again.
'I should have understood why you didn't.' Voldemort replied. 'You
are the only one that matters, Draco. The only one I care about.' He
added sincerely.
'It's hardly surprising that other people wanted to come between us.'
Draco said. 'All the trouble came about because Wormtail suspected
you liked me too much.'
'The only person who needs to know that is me.' He replied. 'It has to
be our secret. As far as the others are concerned, I am nothing more
than a play thing, a slave, nothing of any value.'
'If they think I am of no special value to you they will not have a mind
to come between us.' Draco continued.
Voldemort nodded. Draco was right. He had a head for strategy, and
an understanding of emotions that went beyond Voldemort's
understanding of them. He was probably entirely correct in his
theory.
Draco was unsure whether now was the time to discuss tactics, but
Voldemort seemed keen to listen to him, so he continued, setting out
some of the ideas he had spent the day considering.
'They have been restless for some time.' Voldemort replied, still
holding Draco's hands, absentmindedly stroking his palms. 'They all
want to fight, they want battles, few of them understand the
importance of planning and timing.'
'They need a clear message.' Draco said firmly. 'They need bringing
back into line. Show them that loyalty will be rewarded but
insubordination will not be tolerated.'
'I'm serious.' Said Draco. 'This is a crucial time and we are in a very
difficult situation since Snape killed Dumbledore. There are less of
us now who are able to move about in society and see what is
happening in the ministry or at Hogwarts.'
'Good.' Said Draco. 'That is very good. I hope they are suitably high
up.'
'I think that at the moment you, and the death eaters are an
extremist movement, a minority group of terrorists and whilst you
may be powerful enough to take the ministry by force, ruling, when
you are supported only by a minority of the population is not
sustainable.'
'Oh, I have no doubt at all that you could take control.' Draco said,
wanting to boost him up again. 'But even in a powerful dictatorship, it
is best to have the support of the majority, in case of an uprising.'
'You need influential and well thought of individuals who support you
who can present your ideology in a less extreme way to the masses.
Influence some political change now to pave the way for you taking
power. Like, simply suggesting it would be of benefit to have more
knowledge and control of where muggle borns are, to protect the
wizarding population from being exposed… Put it across rationally
but play on people's fears. You need some positive public figures to
do this. Once upon a time my father would have been ideal, but he's
rather messed that up now.' Draco stopped, mentioning has father
had somewhat bought him back down to earth.
Draco smiled, relieved that there was a plan in place already and
delighted that Voldemort thought he was clever. After all that angst
he had been through, all he needed to do was talk to him!
'If most of the people buy into the core of what you want they will
accept your leadership. Grant them some benevolence in trivial
areas and very few will fight you. The vast majority of the world are
inherently cowardly, they will accept your rule rather than risk a
conflict if they think they can function within your system.'
Voldemort smiled.
'Do you want me to rule, Draco?' He asked. 'Do you support what I
believe in?'
'Of course!' Said Draco with enthusiasm. 'I know how dangerous and
barbaric muggles are! I remember the stories my father used to tell
me about how they treat one another. About how, because they don't
have a torture curse, they spend their time inventing manual ways to
torture each other. He told me all about the devices they made years
ago, right up to modern things, 'bombs' I think he called them, which
they made to destroy life at cellular level… I mean, throwing a torture
curse in anger is one thing, but to go out of your way to invent this
stuff, it's barbaric. To apply time and ingenuity to inventing complex
ways to hurt each other, they are not a balanced species! It's
horrifying! I don't want to ever be at the mercy of creatures like that!'
'Of course I want you to rule.' Draco added softly. 'We all want you to
rule.'
'I mean, me and your followers.' Draco said. 'I support you, I want to
do what I can to help you, if it's what you want.'
'I don't want you to fight.' Voldemort said firmly. 'But you understand
people in a way that I don't. You're insights are interesting.'
'I will help however I can…' Draco paused. 'And… do you want me to
take the dark mark?' He asked at length.
'Do you want to take it?' He asked, stroking his hand over Draco's
perfect smooth forearm where the mark would sit.
'If it's what you want. I am yours. Truly yours.' Draco sounded
genuine and adoring as he spoke.
'Then I don't need to mark you, not like that.' Voldemort replied. 'You
are not like the others.' He kissed him.
'That's no bad thing.' Draco said. 'The others will see my lack of the
mark as a sigh on my lower status, which will be useful to the plan.'
'Yes.' Replied Draco. 'And it's important we stick to it. You must bring
the death eaters back into line. Frighten them, show them
consequences of disloyalty, the consequences of failing you. Show
them loyalty and reward where they are useful. I have been of no
particular use to you, in fact my family have been a disappointment
to you. You have to show that in the way you treat us.'
'There are others I am far more angry with for their disloyalty!'
Voldemort replied.
'Let's just say he won't be telling you any more lies in the future.' He
said coldly.
Draco knew better than to ask for details. Voldemort was keen to
change the subject.
'Do you know there is a plan to break people, including your father,
out of Azkaban?' Voldemort asked, 99% sure Draco would not know
this as they had never discussed it.
'Are you sure this is all part of a clever and well considered plan,
Draco, not just some personal perverted fetish of yours…?' He
asked.
'You are getting far above your station, Draco Malfoy!' Voldemort
hissed gently as he wrapped his strong arms around Draco's waist
and tenderly pulled him close so that they were face to face, their
foreheads touching.
'Then Draco would be so grateful he'd let me…' Harry thought. ' No,
he would tell me all about how cruel they were to him, and then I'd
tell him it didn't have to be like that. Then he would ask me to show
him. I'd kiss him. I'd tell him he was beautiful. I'd be so gentle with
him right up until he told me he wanted it harder…' Harrys hand shot
into his trousers and he took hold of his rock hard cock and he
began to tug it frantically. 'And he would want it harder because he
gets off on it like that.' Harry fantasised. 'He will beg me to fuck him
so hard that he forgets everything they ever did to him. And I'll throw
his legs over my shoulders and I'll pound into his cute little ass until
he screams my name. I'll stretch his asshole around my big fat cock
and delve in so deep and fill him completely and he'll love it. I won't
even need to touch hic dick because he'll come just because I'm
inside him. And even when he's done, I'll keep on drilling him until I
feel my balls tighten and I shoot my load deep inside him…'
Harry gave an audible cry, and was grateful that the common room
was deserted and no students were anywhere near as he came in
rapid spurts all over his hand and soaking his underwear and his
jeans.
'Harry, I was worried. You've been gone for ages.' She said calmly,
stroking his hand.
'I'm… I'm sorry.' Harry stammered although Ginny had no idea what
he was really apologising for.
'It's ok.' She said. 'Harry, you are all flushed, have you been crying?'
'It's alright.' Ginny said and she hugged him tightly, letting him bury
his face in her beautiful long red hair. She smelled lovely and clean
and fresh.
Feeling dreadful, Harry held her tightly in return. She was such a
good friend to him and he really did love her. And she was very
beautiful and he really had wanted to kiss her… But a week or so
after he did, he realised it didn't feel right. His perverse Draco
fantasies aside, once he realised just how much Ginny resembled
his mother, he was at least, self aware enough to acknowledge that
perhaps he wasn't kissing her for the right reasons.
But here she was, comforting him, which he decided was far more
than he deserved. She thought he'd been crying. She didn't think for
one minute that her boyfriend, the hero, who was grieving the death
of his mentor, had actually just been jerking off while thinking about
his supposed enemy. It was Harrys dark secret. Like he needed any
more of those!
Had Harry had sight of Draco at that moment, it would either have
heartened him to know that Draco was not being hurt, or it would
have shattered his perverse fantasies about it, as Draco looked very
well indeed, positively glowing with health. He had continued taking
healing potions regularly, at Voldemort's insistence, as he wanted to
be sure he was back to full health. Draco had taken the potions
slightly longer than was really necessary and in the end stopped as
he worried they might lose their effectiveness in the future. He had
also been eating better than he had done in a while, again, partly at
Voldemort's bidding. This evening he had a healthy flush of colour to
his cheeks, due in no small part to the fact that Voldemort had
indulged him in nearly 2 hours of sex play that afternoon. Draco
smiled to himself. If the death eaters had feared his influence before,
they certainly had reason to now! With every passing day, he and
Voldemort seemed to bond more deeply, at times hearing each
other's thoughts and communicating without words, without even
trying to do so. Of course, the death eaters would not be shown this.
In their presence, Draco would play the frightened, abused sex
slave. It would be safer that way, Draco affirmed. Plus it could add an
interesting dynamic to the physical side of their relationship, Draco
mused with a sordid smile.
Voldemort was in the large dining room with a small group of death
eaters, among them Bellatrix, Greyback and McNair. They were
receiving special orders for the next stage of the mission.
There had been no sign of the boy so far, and she knew better than
to ask. She waited patiently, hoping the result would be worth waiting
for.
The meeting drew to a close and Voldemort was happy that the next
stage of his plan would be executed correctly. It was time to issue
this team with a pertinent warning.
'My servant will bring you your cloaks.' Voldemort told them with a
sickening smile as they began to rise from the table. 'Wormtail!' He
shouted. 'Wormtail, do as I have instructed you!'
None of the death eaters had seen Wormtail since the night of
Dumbledores death and there were gasps of horror, even from
Bellatrix as an almost deformed figure grovelled into the room, trying
to carry all of the long black cloaks he had been tasked with.
Wormtail had flinched in what looked like agony, simply at the sound
of Voldemort's voice, and although it was impossible to tell, tears had
filled his eyes and they began to run down his mutilated face, the salt
stinging as it reached the open wounds.
Greyback took hold of his face and forced his mouth open, reeling
back in disgust when he saw inside.
Wormtail's tongue had been cut out. Inside his mouth a blackened
rotting stump flailed as he tried to form some kind of verbal
response, desperate to avoid further torture.
'Not very talkative these days, is he?' Voldemort hissed with a grin.
'You see…' He addressed them all. 'Wormtail here enjoyed telling
lies. Lies which were counterproductive to my plans and caused
dissension amongst my followers.'
Bellatrix looked down at the floor. She was getting the intended
message, loud and clear.
Never usually one to flinch away from killing, Greyback looked taken
aback at this request. Usually he went for prey which excited his
appetite and gave him the adrenaline rush. This task did neither!
Greyback sunk his teeth into Wormtails neck and with a mighty
wrench, he ripped his throat out. It was over quickly.
He let the lifeless body drop to the floor and he turned to Voldemort.
The death eaters looked around them to see exactly where the great
snake had been hiding. There was not one of them entirely
comfortable around Nagini. She circled the body, clearly about to
feed.
'You may leave now.' Voldemort told the group. 'There is nothing else
I need to tell you today.'
'I hope you weren't too bored.' Voldemort said, slipping his hands
around Draco and holding him.
'I wasn't.' Draco answered. 'I've been reading, about the Elder
Wand.'
Chapter 42
'They will be arriving imminently so that I can co-ordinate the
Azkaban break out.' Voldemort told Draco as they sat together at the
long table.
'OK.' Said Draco, getting out of his seat and coming to Voldemort's
side. 'And you know how it must be?'
Draco nodded and took his wand from his pocket. He cast a spell
over himself, his shirt disappeared and the black trousers he wore
became ragged and torn. Using a kind of inverted makeup charm, he
darkened his eyes, making it look as though he had not been
sleeping well.
'Not bad.' Smiled Voldemort darkly and he raised his own wand.
Draco didn't even flinch. Voldemort cast a spell which put a chain
around Draco's neck, secured with a padlock. A length of chain
formed a lead, and Voldemort took hold of the end and jerked Draco
towards him.
'That's more like it.' Voldemort hissed and he wrapped his arm
around Draco, dragging his nails down his naked back.
'You look far too good like this, you know!' Voldemort whispered in
Draco's ear.
Draco giggled as Voldemort's hands trailed over his skin and then
cupped his ass, fingers pushing between his cheeks through his
clothes. Draco began to wish he was wearing nothing but his chain.
Draco trusted him with it, of course, but he had instinctively tried to
resist, as any wizard would. However, Voldemort was far stronger
than him so no resistance he put up would have been of any use.
Draco would have given him the wand freely, but Voldemort felt an
odd surge of power at having taken it from him without asking. It
helped him get into the role he would play for the next hour or so.
'Sit at my feet.'
'I don't know what you mean!' Draco replied, his voice dripping with
sarcastic innocence. 'Don't worry, I'll be scarily convincing once they
arrive.'
'I'm sure you will.' Voldemort answered, ruffling his hair affectionately,
which added to his dishevelled look.
'Don't hold back.' Draco told him sincerely. 'I can take it. If you want
to hurt me, you can.'
Voldemort nodded. He was not afraid. Draco was not afraid either.
The connection between them was now so strong that Voldemort felt
sure he would know if something was too much for Draco. He would
sense it straight away. He had a good understanding of the places
he could push Draco to, and Draco was confident that he would not
cross the line. Not after he had nearly lost him.
The death eaters required at this gathering began to file in. The half
naked boy on the floor drew a few glances and stares, but no one
mentioned it.
His empty and reticent stare gave away nothing of the thoughts
which were going on beneath the surface. He listened carefully to
every word, making sure he understood the plan perfectly. He
listened intently to the replies that the various death eaters gave
when Voldemort spoke to them. He listened to their words, but also
to their intonation. He subtly watched their body language, looking
for any non verbal signs they might give away which Voldemort
might not pick up on.
Several of them were afraid, more so than normal. Perhaps they had
heard of Wormtail's fait or perhaps it was the fact that the Azkaban
break out mission was going to be undeniably dangerous. Many of
them had done time in Azkaban and the bad memories were
unnerving them somewhat.
Draco gave a little cry of pain, partly because it had taken him by
surprise.
'Silence!' Voldemort snapped at him, glaring at him angrily and Draco
cowered in fright, hoping that no one noticed the lustful way his
pupils had dilated as Voldemort stared at him.
Voldemort returned to the table and Draco flinched away from him as
he passed. Once they had finished studying the map Voldemort
rolled it back up and turned to Draco.
'Did I tell you to stand?' He barked, and he slapped Draco across the
face again, the sharp sound resonating around the room.
Draco crawled over to the shelves with the parchment, wishing that
the meeting would soon be over.
Still on all fours, he returned and sat once more at Voldemort's feet,
and he was please to see that the meeting was now drawing to a
close.
'Stand up, you useless bitch.' Voldemort hissed at him. 'People are
leaving, open the doors for them. Then come back here and I will
see if I can find any other ways I want to use you this evening.'
Draco followed his orders.
The death eaters filed out and he shut the doors. The room was
empty apart from the two of them. They were alone again.
Voldemort smiled an evil and lust filled smile. He grabbed the chain
around Draco's neck and wrenched him forward.
'I'll take you to the bedroom, slut, as it's the only place you are any
use to me.' He hissed close to Draco's face.
Dragging Draco by his lead, Voldemort took him down the long
corridor to the bedroom. Draco's stomach twisted with nerves. What
did Voldemort have in mind?
Voldemort flung open the door and pulled Draco inside. He reached
for his wand. With a flick he conjured a new piece of furniture, a low
table or bench, perhaps? Draco was unsure what is was for.
He was securely held in place, and it was a strange feeling. For all
the things he and Voldemort had done, Draco had never been tied
up before. Held down, certainly, but never tied. He found himself
enjoying it rather more than he had imagined he would.
'You are no good to me like that.' Voldemort hissed, and with another
flick of his wand, Draco was naked, except the length of chain which
hung around his neck.
Tied as he was, legs parted and bending forward, Draco felt very
vulnerable and exposed, his most intimate areas displayed and open
to whatever Voldemort decided to do to him. He whimpered
nervously.
Voldemort stood behind him and Draco felt a thin tip of something
hard trail down his back. The touch and the uncertainty sent shivers
through him. This thing caressed him again, his back and then his
sides. It was only after several strokes that Voldemort trailed it down
over his shoulders and arms allowing Draco to see what it was. It
was a riding crop. A thin black riding crop with a silver handle.
Draco's eyes widened with lust and fear.
Voldemort admired the raw red lines he had made across Draco's
ass and he paused for a moment to tease Draco once more with
light caresses with the tip of the crop. Draco whimpered as he
dragged it over the sore red lines.
Draco lost count of the number of hits Voldemort had given him.
Voldemort interspersed them with light touches, which teased him
and aggravated the sore skin where he had been lashed. Once
Voldemort's hits started to come relentlessly, Draco wondered how
much more he could take as he began to sob and gasp through the
rapidity of the strokes.
Sensing Draco was near his limit, Voldemort stopped and admired
his work, noticing also Draco's prominent erection between his legs.
With a frustrated sob, Draco flopped forward, all of his weight on the
bench, as he accepted Voldemort's total control of his senses.
Draco felt afraid when Voldemort stood up and once again picked up
the riding crop, but this time his focus was different. Voldemort trailed
the tip of the crop down the cleft between Draco's ass cheeks
making him shiver with desire as it teased over his entrance.
Gasping for breath, Draco trembled with adrenalin. Voldemort hit him
once more in the same place and Draco felt his ring becoming
swollen with the abuse. In all of his spanking and discipline fantasies
Draco had never pictured such an intimate thrashing. He was so
aroused by it he was sure without the leather strap he would possibly
have come already as he pictured how tight and intense it would feel
when Voldemort decided to fuck him after this.
Suddenly he felt something cold and hard trail down his back. It was
painful over the thrash marks, it felt like the tip of a wand, Draco
thought… It was. He recognised it, could feel it's magic signature. It
was his own wand that Voldemort dragged down his back and let it
linger just near the base of his spine.
'How much pain do you need, you whore?' Voldemort drawled with a
wicked smile. 'How much do I want to hear you scream?'
He slid the wand in a little further. Draco knew his wand was 10
inches long, he could feel at least 6 inches inside him now.
Voldemort worked the wand back and forth, rotating it slightly.
'You're so tight, baby, I would hardly be able to get inside you like
this.' Voldemort cooed in a menacing tone. Using Draco's wand, he
cast a lubrication charm, flooding Draco's passage with cool slippery
fluid.
Draco squirmed as the spell filled him. As Voldemort drew the wand
out of him some of the lube trickled out over his swollen ring. Draco
jumped as it felt both soothing and tormenting at the same time.
Voldemort stood up and took something from the cupboard and
returned to his position kneeling behind Draco, the new toy in his
hand.
'I'm going to make sure you are ready for me.' He growled. 'Going to
make sure you are ready to take my cock in your ass, even after that
little spanking I gave you.' He added with a grin.
Voldemort pressed the end of the tapered plug into Draco's hole and
Draco gasped as he felt the hard object breach him.
'Oh, yes!' Draco breathed as he felt the toy stretching him and filling
his passage. 'Oh, thank you master!' He cried gratefully.
Voldemort worked the plug inside him, twisting it and rotating it, and
Draco, as much as he could in his restraints, pushed his hips back,
begging for more stimulation. The plug was by no means small, but it
was not as large as Voldemort's cock and did not feel as satisfying.
Now it was inside him, the painful but enjoyable stretch of his ring
was over, until Voldemort decided to pull it out. Draco moaned
needily, wanting more.
'You are so greedy and demanding, Draco you nasty little whore.'
Voldemort hissed, sounding very aroused.
'It feels good, master.' Draco gasped, as Voldemort angled the plug
to press directly onto his sensitive spot. 'Feels so good!'
'How about this?' Voldemort snarled and he gave a sharp tug, pulling
the plug back out of Draco.
Draco gave a dramatic cry. He had not expected that. He had been
comfortable with the plug inside him, the sudden pull had forced his
ring to stretch wide open again in seconds, and now left his passage
feeling empty. Despite this emptiness, the sensation of the plug
being removed like that had been incredible. Draco's cock was
ragingly hard and felt like it was throbbing in desperation to come.
Draco could feel the heat building inside him, could feel his whole
body being pushed to the limit of sensation and pleasure. He shook
with sensitivity as the toy assaulted his prostate repeatedly, his
senses poised on the edge of something amazing. But it was being
denied to him! He screamed and sobbed with frustration.
Planting the plug firmly inside Draco, Voldemort stood up and took a
moment to look at his poor trembling little slave, his back red with
lash marks, his face wet with tears, a leather strap around his
desperately hard dick, and a plug in his ass. Draco looked
thoroughly used and abused, although not quite thoroughly enough,
Voldemort decided.
He was gentle as his cold hand with its sharp nails reached out and
raised Draco's chin, making him look into his eyes. Draco was
flushed and his face was tear stained. Wide eyed, he stared at
Voldemort, who smiled at him. Voldemort kissed his forehead softly.
'I, really, need to, come! Please! Please, master!' Draco gasped.
Voldemort glared at him and gave him a sharp slap across the face.
He pressed the tip of his cock to Draco's lips but allowed him no
more. His cock was wet with pre come and instead of allowing Draco
to taste him, he dragged the head of his cock over Draco's face
smearing the wetness all over him. Draco opened his mouth as
though begging to be allowed to suck him right away, but he was to
be denied this a little longer.
Draco gratefully took his dick into his mouth and clamped his pretty
pink lips around the head, sucking gently. As he took more length he
used his tongue to tease the ridge and lick at the slit. Voldemort
closed his eyes in ecstasy, one hand resting in Draco's fair hair. The
ecstatic pleasure of the way Draco sucked him so dutifully and
affectionately whilst tied and abused was mind meltingly hot! He
rested for a few moments, allowing the sensations to take him over.
But this was a bit too much like letting Draco have some control, and
that was not what this was about!
He took a firm hold of Draco's hair and gave a forceful thrust into his
mouth. Draco responded just in time to avoid choking, relaxing his
throat and taking Voldemort's full length. He had expected this would
happen.
Voldemort pulled his cock out of Draco's mouth and once again
dragged the head over Draco's face, wiping off any last traces of
come. He stood up and once again towered over Draco who was
panting for breath, grateful he could at last breath properly again.
Now Voldemort knelt beside Draco and he ran his right hand slowly
up Draco's leg and over his ass cheek. Draco flinched at the contact
with the places where the riding crop had lashed him. Voldemort's
left hand slipped into the back of Draco's hair. Voldemort raised his
right hand and gave Draco's ass a firm slap. Draco yelped loudly.
Being spanked by hand felt entirely different to being flogged with
the riding crop. The impact was broader and it was more of a
stinging sensation, the crop was so fine it felt almost like it cut into
him as it hit his flesh. Draco did not know which he preferred. What
was tormenting him now was the fact that each slap Voldemort gave
him stimulated the plug which was still inside him and Draco tensed
and twitched so desperately wanting more. His cries grew louder.
Draco gave a particularly loud scream as Voldemort spanked him,
ramming the tip of the plug hard against his most sensitive area.
Voldemort stood up and went to the cupboard. Draco trembled,
wondering what his screaming had earned him now!
'That's what you get for being such a noisy little slut.' He hissed.
He stood up and once again drank in the delicious sight of his poor
little pet, trussed up, gagged and stuffed in the ass. Without a word
he walked towards the door.
Draco heard his footsteps moving away from him and whimpered
desperately, trying is best to plead with his master. He was not really
going to leave him like this! Voldemort paused at the door.
Frustrated angry tears ran down Draco's cheeks. Even in his sex
slave mindset, he could not quite believe that Voldemort had left him
like this. How long would he be gone? Time would pass very slowly,
Draco thought.
Without Voldemort there, touching him, giving him physical
stimulation, the position he was held in quickly became
uncomfortable. He was aware that the ropes that bound him were
tight, the edge of the bench was hard, the floor was cold and hurt his
knees. It was amazing that he hadn't noticed before. He tried to shift
his weight, over the bench more, through one knee, then the other…
It didn't really help. He felt irritated and frustrated. Gods! What if
anyone else saw him like this? It was on the verge of not being fun
anymore!
Draco found the best way to cope was to try to stay turned on to it, to
try to stay as aroused as possible. After all, he knew Voldemort
would be back. He knew Voldemort loved him. He knew that his
pleasure not only mattered to Voldemort, but was the whole focus of
this game. He knew he would be taken care of, in every way
possible. Remembering this, he felt safe again and he closed his
eyes and pictured the things that Voldemort had said. He sighed
deeply. He hoped it would be soon.
'My poor little slut.' Voldemort hissed as he toyed with the handle of
the plug. 'Are you desperate for me to fuck you?'
Voldemort teased the plug and worked it slowly out of Draco. Draco
felt strange and empty without it and his asshole twitched and
puckered as it contracted.
Slowly Voldemort pushed his way inside him. Draco felt utterly
delirious as his lover's thick hard cock filled him in the way that only
he could. Surely there was no feeling of pleasure or relief like this!
Voldemort penetrated him slowly, but once he was fully inside the
gentleness ended. He pulled back sharply and began to fuck Draco
hard, fast and violently. If he could have done, Draco would have
screamed, both for mercy and for more. Tears ran down his cheeks
once more and Voldemort gripped his hips and slammed him harder
and harder, faster and faster.
'That's all better now, isn't it?' Voldemort barked at him as he fucked
him. 'This is what you wanted isn't it, you filthy whore? You want my
big cock in your ass, you want me to fuck you like a little bitch. Want
me to claim you, make you my slave.'
'You love it, don't you?' He hissed at Draco. 'You love feeling dirty,
degraded and used, you needy insatiable slut!'
Draco was shaking. It was time to give him what he needed. Allow
him the indignity of climaxing as a result of his abuse. Voldemort
reached for the strap around Draco's cock and released it.
In split seconds, the earth shattering orgasm that had been building
up in Draco for the past hour erupted from him. He came violently
and harder than he ever had before. It was an orgasm that lasted
longer than usual, the throbbing continued after the main climax and
it was as if he came not just once, but several times all strung
together. It had been so worth waiting for!
Panting for breath, he pulled out of Draco and reached for the back
of his head and unfastened the gag.
Released from his restraints, Draco staggered to his feet, his limbs
sore and a little shaky after being in the same position for so long.
Voldemort offered him his hand and helped him to stand. Draco
smiled and swayed slightly, leaning onto Voldemort, who supported
his weight, pulling him into a tight embrace. He helped him over to a
large chair in the corner of the room. Voldemort sat down, dragged
Draco into his lap and summoned a blanket which he wrapped
around him in a caring and affectionate manner.
Had it been too much? Had he crossed the line? Perhaps they
should have agreed a sign which meant 'stop' before they began?
Draco had seemed like he was enjoying it, it felt like he wanted it, but
he had been crying, and he was gagged for some of the time. He
couldn't have spoken up if he wasn't happy.
'I would have felt it if he wasn't happy…' Voldemort hoped. But it was
complicated. Damn it, Draco was complicated! He had been crying,
but sometimes he liked to cry. He had been scared, but sometimes
he liked that too. Voldemort wondered how anyone was supposed to
understand this 'love' business when it was so bloody confusing!
It had been a success in many ways, Draco's slave act. Aside from
giving them the opportunity to enjoy the sexual aspect, it had put
Draco almost in the position of a spy amongst the death eaters
themselves. He could watch carefully during the meetings and feed
back to Voldemort afterwards and it was amazing the things that
some of them would say in his ear shot when Voldemort was not
there! He overheard many personal secrets this way and made a
mental note of all of them.
Draco was nervous on returning to the manor. He had not seen his
mother for some time and knew she would be worried about him. He
was also very aware that he had told her in the past that Voldemort
was not unkind to him and that this was the opposite of what she
would see now. He wished there was some way he could tell her, but
he really didn't trust his father not to give the game away. His pride
would mean that if he knew of Draco's true relationship with the Dark
Lord, he would probably want to boast of his sons influence. It was
too much of a risk. They would just have to suffer the worry for a
while.
He arrived back via port key into his own room and this gave him the
chance to change into some smarter clothes before he saw his
parents. He was to sit with them at this meeting, so as to give a
sense that the treatment they received was being aimed at them as
a family unit. It would emphasise that Draco's enslavement was a
punishment for all of their failings. This would hopefully motivate
other death eaters with families to perform well to avoid the same
fate.
Draco tiptoed downstairs and headed to the dining room. This was
where the gathering was to take place and he suspected his parents
would be there already, making sure all was as it should be. He was
correct.
It had never been an easy relationship that he had with his father,
although he had always loved him. Lucius was not a naturally warm
or caring person. Affection did not come easily to him, he was stern,
vain and proud and had always been given violent moods if he was
displeased. He had regularly beaten his son if his behaviour was not
satisfactory and lacked the gift of being able to show kindness after
these episodes of discipline. Draco's relationship with Lucius had
undoubtedly coloured his desires and expectations of his
relationships with other men. He accepted, almost needed, a violent
element to know that he was loved. But craved a gentleness and a
candid level of care that had been missing from his relationship with
his father. It was always love he had sought from Lucius. He had
taken beatings, been shouted at, talked down to, admonished and
shamed, in the hope that, if he endured it, the demonstrative love he
wanted would follow. It never did. Throughout Draco's childhood this
heartbreak had hurt more than any beating he had ever taken.
Everything was different now. Draco was getting the love and
affection that he needed so much, from Voldemort. He no longer had
to endure any poor treatment from Lucius in the hope that an empty
promise of affection would come true. How would it be between them
now? Draco knew he would never not love his father, but he had not
the desperate need to please him anymore. Things would be very
different without that.
His heart froze for a moment as he looked at his parents and he felt
a sharp stab of guilt that he could not let Narcissa at least, in on his
secret. His mother looked so anxious and thin, he felt bad that he
had not come home sooner to see her.
Narcissa shirked and ran over to him and hugged him tightly. Her
embrace was warm, comforting and safe. He gripped her tightly too,
it felt good to hug her after so long. He squeezed his eyes shut and
breathed in the smell of her perfume.
Lucius had hurried over too and rested his hand on Draco's
shoulder. Stepping out of his mother's arms, Draco paused. His
father hardly ever hugged him. The only time Draco could remember
his father hugging him was the day that Voldemort returned him to
the manor after taking him to his bed for the first time. Lucius didn't
give hugs, a pat on the shoulder was usually more than enough
physical affection for him. Today was different. Lucius pulled Draco
into a grasping, possessive embrace and gave a silent sob as he
gripped him.
'He's been with him… haven't you Draco?' Narcissa whispered, and
Lucius looked horrified and stared at Draco wanting an answer.
'Of course I have.' Said Draco flatly. 'Where else would I have been?'
In truth these marks were simply deep love bites which Voldemort
gave Draco frequently purely because they drove him wild. And the
scratches were simply because Voldemort had sharp nails and
Draco did so like to be held down by his wrists when he was being
screwed. Usually if Draco was marked in any way, Voldemort would
insist he took a healing potion shortly after. On this occasion Draco
had insisted he didn't, so as to look more authentic.
He then talked about the issue with his wand having the same core
as Potters wand. He needed a different wand to use.
Draco had been giving this much thought over the past week. It was
this that had prompted his research into various aspects of wand
lore. When they had talked about it, Voldemort had agreed with him.
It was the Elder wand he needed. But until it could be found, he
needed a wand, any wand that would mean that he wasn't
vulnerable to an attack by Potter.
The meeting over, the death eaters prepared to leave. Lucius and
Narcissa stood up and looked, with great concern, at their son laying
apparently unconscious on the floor. Voldemort approached them.
'Leave him there.' Voldemort ordered. 'I am not finished with him just
yet.' He gave Draco a kick as he spoke and Draco flinched as
though he were starting to come round.
'Yes, my Lord.' Said Lucius weakly and he and Narcissa ushered the
last of the death eaters out of the room.
Once the room was deserted, Draco sat up and Voldemort offered
him his hand to help him get up. He rested his hands on Draco's
shoulders for a moment and seemed to check him over to make sure
he was ok. Then he laughed.
'Fainting, Draco? Really! I've always said you were a touch over
dramatic!'
With that, Draco flung his arms around him and held him tightly,
delighted when Voldemort returned the embrace.
Draco couldn't deny it, that meeting had been horrible. Worse than
the others somehow. Maybe because there were more people there,
his parents amongst them. Maybe it was because usually he sat on
the floor at Voldemort's feet, or in the corner of the room. He was not
used to be being just another one of the people around the table.
They were both convincing actors, he and Voldemort. Good liars and
deceivers, as most Slytherins are. Draco had to admit that there
were moments when he had felt genuinely frightened and wanted
reassurance. This embrace was the reassurance he needed.
'Are you sure that wand is going to be alright for you?' Draco asked
at last.
'It yields to me.' Voldemort replied. 'And it's used to dark magic. It will
do for the time being.'
'OK.' Said Draco. 'What about the search for the other wand though,
where are we up to with that?'
'I'm going to follow up a lead right now actually. The wand maker has
given me some good information. I'm not sure it's all he knows, but
it's a good start. Now I have this wand I can begin to act on it.'
His anxiety from the meeting now settled, Draco approached Nagini,
who was laying on the table digesting her meal. She looked at
Draco, who stroked her head like she was a cat. He thought she
might be thirsty so he summoned the house elf and instructed him to
bring her a dish of water in case she wanted it. The poor frightened
elf obeyed him.
He left the dining room and went to seek out his parents. He had
missed them, genuinely, and wanted to spend the evening with
them. He just hoped they were going to behave properly and not
tiptoe around him anxiously all evening. Outside the study he heard
his father's voice from inside the room.
'It's gone on too long! I can hardly believe it has continued all the
time I was away.'
'It's my fault.' Lucius said gently. 'Not yours. But what can we do
now?'
Draco opened the door of the study and stepped inside. They both
turned and stared at him.
Both of them looked shocked at his cool and collected tone, and he
noticed them flinch at the mention of Nagini. He walked over to them
and took hold of their hands. Although he could not confide in them,
he wanted to give them some kind of comfort in all this.
'After supper, I would suggest an early night. You both look tired. I
have some reading I want to do and then I wouldn't mind an early
night myself. Tomorrow I will need to think about getting my school
things for September.' Inside he was shaking. Shaking with guilt and
an odd sense of power. On the surface he was as calm as a
motionless lake.
Draco had tried really hard to stay awake. He had showered and
changed into his night shirt, but he had a large mug of coffee and a
huge book from his father's library, about wand lore and ownership.
He hoped these things would keep him awake. He sat on his bed but
pushed all the covers to the far end so that he was not tempted to
get underneath and fall asleep.
He drifted off around 12.30 and when Voldemort arrived via the
portkey at 2am, Draco was sound asleep, the book still open in his
lap. Voldemort smiled. He liked looking at Draco while he was
asleep, he looked so trusting and innocent as he slept. It was hard to
imagine how clever and how mature he was when you watched him
sleeping, he looked so uncomplicated and sweet. Voldemort
supposed this was because he was innocent, trusting and sweet at
times. He was rarely uncomplicated though, but that only added to
his charm. Noticing the now-cold coffee, Voldemort was touched by
the fact that Draco had clearly been trying to stay awake to see him.
He gently lifted the book from Draco's lap and placed it on the chair.
He covered Draco with the dark green bedcovers, admiring the
contrast against Draco's porcelain skin and silvery blonde hair.
Removing his own robes, he slipped into the bed beside him.
Voldemort wrapped his arms around Draco and pulled him close,
kissing the top of his head.
Draco smiled as he closed his eyes. Somehow his sleepy brain had
processed the fact that Voldemort had come back to the manor via
the portkey, simply to hold him while he slept. Everyone else thought
that Voldemort tortured him and used him, hurt him and hated him. It
was secret moments like this that made the pretending bearable and
worthwhile. In these moments, Draco felt happier and more loved
than he ever had in his life.
Chapter 44
Voldemort hated it. Hated it possibly even more than Draco did. The
way Draco flinched when he approached him, the way he cowered
when he was near. The way Draco shook with fear when the death
eaters stood to leave the room, because they would be alone. Hated
the way Draco sobbed in fright when he touched him.
A small briefing to ministry insiders had drawn to a close and the two
of them were again alone. Voldemort once more helped Draco up
from his subservient position on the floor. He took him in his arms
and lifted him so that he sat on the edge of the table and held him
tightly. Sometimes he needed the reassurance more than Draco did.
Draco wrapped his arms and his legs around Voldemort and gripped
him firmly and Voldemort buried his face in Draco's hair.
Draco sat back from him slightly and reached up and tenderly
stroked his face.
'I do too.' He replied. 'But I love you.' He said with a frankness and
honesty that both calmed Voldemort and ignited a fire within him at
the same time.
'You really do, don't you?' He said softly, almost disbelievingly.
'Of course.' Draco answered with a smile and he leant forward and
brushed his lips gently over Voldemort's. The touch was light and
fleeting but as sweet as sugar and just as addictive!
Voldemort lifted Draco's chin with one hand so that he could look at
him. Draco's eyes were dark and shadowed to make it look as
though he had not slept well, but Voldemort could see past this
deceptive disguise to the bright twinkling which no inverted makeup
charm could hide. He caressed Draco's cheek with his cold hand
and Draco smiled, drinking in every moment of his affectionate
touch.
'I love you, Draco.' Voldemort whispered. 'I didn't know I could love,
but I love you.'
Draco's heart skipped a beat. This was real. It was really real.
Sometimes he had to check himself, to remind himself that this was
really happening. The Dark Lord loved him!
'I love you Draco.' Voldemort continued, 'And I want you at my side,
not at my feet. The others, they should not look down at you, they
should cower before you as they do before me!'
Draco had to admit he rather liked the sound of that. He was willing
to act his part, as it was necessary for the time being, he was happy
to sit at Voldemort's feet and be his slave, but it hurt his Malfoy pride
when the likes of Crabbe and Goyle senior looked down at him like
he was worthless.
'It won't always have to be like this.' Draco whispered, and teasingly
kissed his lips once more. 'And sometimes I'm very happy to be at
your feet…' He added playfully.
Voldemort smiled, and kissed him back, giving his lips a sweeping
lick as he did so.
'Well, I'd still let you do that every now and then!' Voldemort hissed
softly. 'But you will be my consort, Draco, not my slave.'
Draco loved the feel of him. At the start, his coldness had felt odd, he
greyish skin tone had seemed strange, but now, to Draco, it was
familiar. It was his territory. He pressed his warm hands against
Voldemort's thick upper arms and took a moment to notice and
appreciate the strength and muscle tone he could feel there. His
physical power, his magical power, it was awe inspiring. Draco
adored him.
As was his usual slave attire, Draco was stripped to the waist and he
shivered with excitement as he felt Voldemort's strong hands holding
his slender back, his gentle fingers tripping over his skin. Draco drew
deep breaths of Voldemort's musky scent and wondered how, after
more than 2 years, this simple thing still caused his heart to flutter
with nerves and desire.
Voldemort's hand trailed towards Draco's crotch and Draco felt his
desire surge within him.
'Of course my love.' Voldemort replied and once more locked their
lips together.
Draco reached both his hands up to Voldemort's face, his neck, his
shoulders, needing more than just the weight of his body on top of
him. He yearned for the feeling of total security that only Voldemort
could give him. Voldemort knew what he wanted and gently took
hold of his delicate wrists and placed them either side of his head,
pressed against the pillow in a position of complete surrender. He
pinned him down, lovingly, affectionately and with great care. Draco
could not move and was utterly his. Draco felt such relief and he
relaxed totally, feeling possessed, owned and completely safe.
Voldemort slid his hard member into Draco, looking longingly into the
boys twilight grey eyes. Draco was so young, so innocent, so
accepting. As he took him, moved inside him, looked down into his
pure, pale face, he felt almost as though he were filling an empty
vessel. As though Draco's youth meant that he was not yet full of
experience and the cares of life and Voldemort could pour himself,
his love, his deepest secrets into Draco who in his innocence, had
the capacity to receive them.
It was not that Draco was incomplete without Voldemort, not that he
lacked his own identity. It was simply that he was open and
accepting of the kind of completion that comes from uniting with
another. When Voldemort filled him, physically, emotionally, he did
not feel that he lost his own identity, quite the opposite in fact. The
differences between them meant that when Voldemort was inside
him, body and soul, Draco's own identity felt more sharply defined by
the contrast between him and his lover. The harmony within that
contrast became the song of their secrets, describing their love
through a melody that only they could hear.
These were the moments that made the pretending worthwhile, but
were the same moments that made it challenging. It was difficult for
Draco to feel so full of love and happiness and not to let it spill out
into other moments of his life.
Chapter 45
Before the end of summer the ministry fell. Potter and his friends
went 'on the run'. Snape was appointed headmaster of Hogwarts
and the Carrow twins took teaching posts. A well considered plan
was falling into place and a heavy hearted Draco bid farewell to
Voldemort as he once more prepared to go back to school.
'It's the last year it will be like this.' Voldemort comforted him. 'And
now that Snape is headmaster you can come to see me whenever
you like. He won't try and stop you.'
'Won't it give the game away if I keep asking to go and see you?'
Asked Draco.
Draco kissed him to remind him that everything really was alright
now.
'Severus cares about you, Draco. He will keep our secrets for your
sake even if not for mine.' Voldemort assured him.
He was correct. Snape had his suspicions that all was not as it
seemed between Draco and the Dark Lord, although he did not know
the extent to which their emotions ran. He had known that Draco had
feelings for Voldemort since the night that Harry had attacked Draco
with the Septumsempra spell. He had realised there was more to
Voldemort's feelings towards Draco than met the eye on the night of
Dumbledore's death. The Dark Lord had begged him to do all in his
power to make Draco well again. He had also heard of Wormtail's
fait and had correctly guessed at the reason for it.
It was a truly complicated situation and the behaviour, genuine or
otherwise, that Draco and Voldemort displayed at meetings,
confused it still further. At least at Hogwarts, Snape could keep a
watchful eye on Draco and make sure he was ok.
He summoned the Carrow twins into his office on the first day of
term.
He made sure they understood all of their duties and told them all
they would need to know about the running of the school. He
impressed on them the need to treat all students with equal
contempt while they established themselves as disciplinary figures in
the school.
'Make sure you are as harsh with one as with the next.' He told them
clearly and the both nodded keenly. 'All… with the exception of one.'
Snape continued.
'Oh, the sex slave! The boy who was too pathetic to kill a
defenceless old man?' Amycus snorted. 'Would you suggest we treat
him with greater contempt than the others? Maybe as badly as the
Dark Lord treats him?'
'On the contrary…' Snape said, in a voice that silenced the both of
them. 'I would advise extreme caution around the Malfoy boy. I do
not know the full extent of the Dark Lords plans for him…'
'The Dark Lord does not like people to interfere with his possessions
and that very much includes the Malfoy boy. Do I make myself
clear?'
'If the boy is to be tormented it is the Dark Lord who shall do it. I
would advise keeping a distance from him as much as is possible.'
Snape concluded.
Everyone had to find ways to cope with the new regime at Hogwarts.
This was possibly easier for Slytherin students than the others as
there was something of a natural prejudice in their favour these
days. The opposite of the last 6 year, Pansy observed when talking
to Draco in the common room.
Pansy had never been the best student, in fact, in the past people
had thought that she wasn't very bright. This year she seemed to
come into her own. She thrived on the positive feedback she got
from her teachers, rather than the criticism she had received in past
years. She worked harder and studied longer, suddenly aspiring to
things she never dreamt of.
Blaise was relieved to find that his charm and aristocracy was more
than enough to carry him through the year without having to actually
do something as hard as study. Blaise had always been bright
enough to get by without working too hard and was happy to keep it
that way. He continued to use his wealth and connections to
impress. He charmed the teachers and his behaviour to Alecto
Carrow bordered on flirtatious, who was as surprised as she was
flattered but took no heed of him.
Draco, like Pansy, took refuge in studying. He spent many long
hours in the library, pawing over old texts and scribbling frantic
notes. Nobody looked hard enough to notice that it was never a
prescribed text or NEWT subject that he was reading about.
Draco's heart pumped wildly. He was well aware of the fact the two
nastiest teachers had been trying their best to ignore him since the
start of term, and guessed it was because they knew he was
Voldemort's property. Draco hoped to the Gods this meant they
would leave him alone!
Amycus was torn. Any other student caught here like this would be
tomorrows Crucio practice! But he remembered Snape's words, and
looking at Draco now, face to face, well, Draco didn't look like a slave
now. He looked angry at being disturbed in his activities and the
book he held was definitely not a school book. Perhaps he had been
instructed to get it? Although not a bright man, Amycus surmised
that challenging Draco would not be a sensible move.
Amycus felt he had to say something. He was the teacher here and
had to take some control of the situation, if only to soothe his own
pride.
'It's very late Malfoy.' He managed. 'I trust you are returning to the
common room… if you have everything you came for… I mean… is
there anything else you need…?'
'I have everything I need thank you Professor.' Draco said coldly as
he stepped around Amycus confidently.
Once out of sight, Draco ran, heart hammering inside his ribs. That
could have gone so wrong! He had been lucky, so lucky. Not lucky
enough that he didn't meet another Professor on his way back to the
common room, but lucky enough that this time it was Snape.
'Language, Mr Malfoy.' Snape said dryly and Draco's face broke into
a smile.
'I think we have established the fact that that is not on the cards,
Draco.' Snape said silkily and Draco blushed a little.
'I'm going back to the common room now.' Draco said, changing the
subject quickly.
'I will walk with you.' said Snape. 'I've been hoping to talk to you for
some time now.'
'To see how you are.' Snape answered him. 'I have not forgotten that
night…' He stopped and waited for Draco's reaction.
'Neither have I.' Said Draco. 'Or the other times you have come to
my rescue.' He added gratefully.
'And so, since then, how have you been?' Snape asked. 'How are
things, Draco?'
'You know enough of 'how things are' I think!' Draco said slyly.
'You're not asking proper questions.' Draco responded. 'It sounds like
you are playing a game to me.'
'I know the rules of the game I'm playing.' Draco answered with a
confident smile. 'I helped to write them. 'Things' are fine. I am fine.'
He looked up at Snape. 'I promise.' He whispered softly.
'Good.' Whispered Snape. What Draco had just given him was
hardly an answer. But it was comforting somehow.
'I'd like to go home next week, please Professor.' Said Draco as they
continued to walk.
'Then you can use the flue connection from my office.' Snape
conceded.
They had arrived at the common room door. Snape felt a sting of
disappointment as he would have liked to talk to Draco some more,
would have liked his company a little longer. Even with Draco's
secretiveness he felt that they talked to each other on a very equal
footing and he enjoyed informal conversations with him. Draco had
grown up so much and seemed so mature these days. Snape found
that even though he felt protective and fatherly towards Draco he
was beginning to consider him a friend also.
That night, Snape sat alone in his rooms staring into the fire until the
small hours of the morning. He had some soul searching to do.
Where exactly did his loyalties lie?
Draco snuck into the common room and was surprised to be met by
not just Pansy but also by Goyle.
'Yeah, just finishing this homework for dark arts.' She mumbled.
'We shouldn't laugh at him.' Pansy said with no sincerity at all. 'He's
going through an 'older woman' phase, that's all.'
'To be fair, I bet she was foxy in her youth.' Pansy said reflectively.
'I don't.' Pansy said flatly. 'But you can still say if someone is
attractive even if you don't fancy them. Like, Draco's into guys but he
still thinks I'm gorgeous, don't you, Dray?' She teased.
Draco was a little taken back at how openly she had said it, but
decided that laughing along was the best thing to do.
'Yes, of course, Pansy darling!' He said, slumping down onto the sofa
beside her. There was something nice about this type of interaction
with his friends. Once again he remembered how much he missed
them. He made a mental note to try not to always be too
preoccupied to spend time with them.
'No! No way, man!' He stammered and both Pansy and Draco burst
out laughing.
'Good.' Said Draco. 'Because you're really not my type, so you don't
need to worry!'
'Yeah right, Goyle. Is that your wand in your pocket or are you just
pleased to see me?'
'In your dreams!' Draco called after him and was met with a rude
hand gesture and a final call of
Draco sighed happily. Not only was it nice to laugh with his friends,
but Goyle's total obliviousness to Draco's sexuality gave Draco
confidence that Goyle senior had never mentioned Draco's presence
at meetings or the role he seemed to play there. Meetings were
supposed to be secret anyway, but Goyle senior was not the
brightest of men.
He was just about to relax totally when Pansy grabbed his arm
sharply and he realised to his dismay that he was now in a situation
he had carefully dodged so far this year.
'Got you!' Pansy hissed. 'Finally! You have been avoiding me, and
Blaise too.'
'You've avoided being alone with us.' Pansy spat back at him.
'Yes!' She cried. 'The night Dumbledore died, you jumped out in front
of that werewolf to protect me. You saved my life!' Her eyes filled
with tears. 'He backed away when he saw you Draco. Why? Tell me
what's going on! I'm frightened for you.' She sniffed deeply, stifling a
sob. 'You are my best friend and I'm worried. You disappeared that
night with professor Snape. Where did you go? What happened?
Please tell me, please trust me.'
'I'm sorry Pans.' He began. 'I don't know why there were death
eaters in the school that night, but it's common knowledge that in the
past my father was involved in the movement. You know that, right?'
She nodded.
'They don't really want to attack pure bloods anyway, we are the
ones the Dark Lord hopes to recruit after all.' Draco said without
thinking.
'The Dark Lord?' Pansy echoed. 'What do you know about the Dark
Lord, Draco? Are you one of them, are you a death eater?' She
whispered anxiously.
'Of course not!' Draco retorted rolling up his sleeve and baring his
forearm. 'See? No dark mark here.'
Draco hoped his shock didn't show up on his face. Where had she
got that idea from?
'In 5th year, the lover you wouldn't tell anyone about. I guessed it
then.' She seemed to have taken Draco's question as a confession.
Draco nodded. If this was the confession she wanted he would give
it to her in the hope she would leave him alone.
'OK. Yes, I am involved with someone.' This was true. 'But he's not
actually a death eater…' This was also true. 'But he is involved with
the movement…' True again. 'But look, Pansy, you have to promise
that you won't tell anyone about this, not even Blaise, you
understand?' He pleaded.
'Of course!' She whispered. 'I would never tell anyone your secrets,
Draco, you know that!'
'I've never told any of your secrets either.' He smiled. 'I never told
anyone about that time at primary school when you showed your
knickers to Marcus Flint.'
Pansy pouted and gave him a punch on the arm which was actually
quite hard.
'Ouch!' Draco yelped.
'I never told anyone about how you used to beg to wear my dresses
when we played together as kids.' She retorted. 'And I certainly didn't
mention that this went on until second year at Hogwarts.'
'You'd never tell anyone that because then you'd have to admit how
much better I looked in them than you did!' He retorted and she
laughed at him.
'You usually only tell me that when you're drunk!' Draco said. 'And
then you tell everyone you love them!'
'I'm serious.' She said in a low voice. 'You are like a brother to me
and I don't know what I'd do without you.'
'I'll be fine, Pansy, honestly. You don't need to worry.' Draco assured
her.
'Well you've been involved with him a while now, I guess it's pretty
serious.' She said.
Pansy seemed to accept that he couldn't tell her and didn't push him.
Instead she asked,
Voldemort was looking through some of the old volumes which were
stored in the library, for a particular scroll he needed. Although he
had a feeling it was not here at all and he may as well give up
looking and pay Draco some attention instead. But he had a meeting
with the new minister for magic in an hour, so Draco may have to
wait…
'I can't believe the wand maker has held out as long as he has, you
know.' Draco mused.
'Yes, he has rather surprised me.' Said Voldemort. 'But he'll crack
soon, I've seen it before.' He replaced a book on the shelf.
'I hope so.' Said Draco. 'The sooner you get that wand the better.'
'So, what are you doing today?' He asked, watching Voldemort tidy
the books.
'I suppose you should.' Draco replied. 'But first you should come over
here and fuck me right now.' He added in a matter of fact tone.
Voldemort folded his arms and stared at his pouting playful pet.
'I'm sorry.' Draco said, sounding like a person who was not in the
least bit sorry about anything.
Voldemort stood before him, towering over him. He took hold of his
legs and pulled him towards him.
'Oh it's quite alright pet, I'm used to your demands.' He leant down
and pressed his open mouth over Draco's forcing his tongue
between Draco's lips. Draco responded gratefully feeling the heat
rush to his groin, he longed for Voldemort to take him. Preferably
right here on the desk.
Draco removed his shirt and was completely naked apart from his
chain. Voldemort liked it very much when Draco was naked and he
was fully clothed, it emphasised his own power and Draco's
vulnerability. Draco put his feet on the ground and leant back against
the desk so that Voldemort could get a good long look at him.
Draco had a gorgeous cock. Long, pink and rock solid. Voldemort
admired it for a moment. He often was so preoccupied with fucking
Draco's ass that he forgot just how hot his dick was. Today he
intended to pay it his full attention.
Draco closed his eyes, his head tilting back, his hands gripping the
edge of the desk. How could a hand job feel this good?
'Oh Fuck yeah!' Draco gasped, thrusting his hips forward, rutting his
cock into Voldemort's wet cold fist. He trembled with need.
'Some times I think you are just using me, Draco.' Voldemort laughed
as he watched Draco tremble in ecstasy.
'Ahh, fuck!' Cried Draco, his whole body tensing. The very promise in
Voldemort's words was about to push him over the edge.
A couple more tugs and Draco came hard. Came all over
Voldemort's hand and down the front of his robes with a deep moan.
Voldemort was mind blowing, Draco thought, although his thoughts
were far from coherent! Voldemort was such a skilled lover, it was
frightening.
Draco's breathing began to slow back down, but Voldemort was far
from done with him. He had been very generous with pleasure for his
slave, now it was time to use him for his own ends.
He roughly took hold of Draco and spun him round. Grabbing the
back of his neck, he pushed him roughly so that he bent over the
desk.
Draco, his face resting on the black leather surface of the desk,
placed his hands on his ass cheeks and pulled them apart so that he
was fully exposed. He was such an obedient and willing little slave,
such a good little pet, Voldemort thought. He just couldn't resist
attending further to Draco's pleasure.
He dropped to his knees behind Draco and placed his mouth over
Draco's opening. His tongue swept over Draco's ring and Draco
gasped. Voldemort bit gently at the puckered hole, slipping his
tongue inside and sucking hard. Draco shook, breathless and blown
away by the intensity and intimacy of it. Voldemort ate Draco's ass
until Draco was hard again and shivering with delight.
Voldemort could fuck so hard and aggressively when the mood took
him. Draco absolutely loved it like this. He loved the contrast
between Voldemort's violent poundings and the gentle, tender care
he was capable of giving afterwards. His love felt so complete. His
lover could offer him a whole spectrum of physical experience and
he loved every shade of it. He loved the way Voldemort's cock
hammered against his prostate as if he was trying to beat a second
orgasm out of him. He loved the pain where Voldemort gripped him
far too tightly and his sharp nails dug into his skin. He even loved the
bruises which were starting to appear on the side of his face where
he had been slammed into the desk over and over again.
'Go to the bedroom and wait for me.' Voldemort commanded. 'The
cupboard is unlocked. There is a big black rubber cock in there,
which I want you to fuck yourself with while I'm gone.'
'When I come back I want you to show me what you have been
doing. Show me all the ways you like to fuck yourself and if I'm
impressed with you I will fuck you so hard and so long that you forget
your own name.' Voldemort smiled.
It was a really term, school was such a bleak place to be these days,
especially with all the dementors hovering around the grounds.
Draco had a fleeting moment of empathy for Potter and his fear of
them now. If one got too close to him his mind seemed to trip back to
the night of Dumbledores death. Wormtail's taunting of him and the
mental images it created, of Voldemort with others… The Dark Lord
casting the torture curse on him and those moments when he felt
himself slipping away… It made his blood run cold. There was a
spell to repel dementors. Perhaps he'd look into learning it.
Draco had been ready for some good news and it made returning to
school in January a little easier because he could do so knowing that
Voldemort was making progress hunting for the wand. Once he had
it, Draco could relax a little… he hoped.
He threw himself into his studies, regular school studies, this term.
He even tracked down Amycus Carrow for some advice on an
assignment, poor Amycus doing everything he could to help him.
Even grading him a little higher than he deserved, just to be on the
safe side. He and Pansy studied hard, and Blaise joined them from
time to time. Draco went home every few weeks, for a weekend visit
and was surprised just how quickly the spring term passed.
He went home for the Easter holidays, well and truly ready for a
break from studying. He was determined to rest, however
challenging that would be at the manor.
Lucius was very withdrawn, he still looked pale and ill, in fact he
didn't seem to have improved at all since he returned from Azkaban.
Draco felt a little guilty about this as it was undoubtedly because he
was concerned about how Draco was being treated. However, it
didn't alter Draco's resolve to keep quiet.
The first week of the Easter holidays had been rather enjoyable, and
not the complete disaster that extended periods of time with his
parents sometimes were. He had spent the first couple of days with
Voldemort. They hadn't seen each other for 3 weeks and had some
lost time to make up. Only when he was completely exhausted, did
Draco agree to go home and see his parents for a couple of days. It
was all going well. A little too well.
The dark clouds began to descend when Bellatrix arrived. She was
more effective than a dementor at lowering the mood, it was almost
impressive. She insisted on crowing on and on about the prisoners
being held at the manor, something Draco tried his best to ignore. He
didn't enjoy the fact, but their captivity there was unavoidable, a
means to an ends. Certainly the wand maker, Olivander had
probably served his purpose, but it was best to keep hold of him, just
in case. Draco tried not to think about it, it was just the way it had to
be for the moment.
Bellatrix just wanted to talk about the prisoners constantly. She was
like a child with a toy that she just couldn't keep in the box. She
wanted to go and get a prisoner and torture them, just to see if she
could get any more information… Which was nonsense, she had
very little interest in information, she just wanted to hurt someone. It
was tiresome and infuriating, not to mention a little disturbing.
Draco didn't think the day could get any worse when all of a sudden,
out of nowhere a group of snatchers arrived at the manor with 3
rather too familiar captives.
It was definitely Weasel and the mudblood. Hell, it was definitely
Potter as well, although he looked terrible! Draco was sure he had
been a bit better looking than that last time he saw him, but it was
him, for sure.
Draco's heart pounded. Why were they here? Had they allowed
themselves to be caught on purpose to mount an attack? Were a
group of Aurors about to arrive at any moment? Draco hated to
admit it, but that mudblood was clever, she probably had a plan. It
was unlikely that they were here by any kind of accident and
Voldemort was still vulnerable!
Bellatrix gleefully grabbed Potter and insisted that Draco come and
take a good look at him. Lucius urged him on, telling him that if they
could be the ones to capture Potter and hand him over to the Dark
Lord then they would be restored in the Dark Lord's esteem. Draco
franticly searched his mind for the best course of action. He
approached slowly to buy himself more time.
Lucius was a desperate man. If only they could do this, if only they
could restore their status with the Dark Lord. All would be well again!
The Dark Lord might even spare Draco the mistreatment he
suffered. They could begin to rebuild their crumbling life as a family!
But Draco was so hesitant. He approached the captive reluctantly
and fearfully. The poor boy must be so afraid, Lucius thought, and it
was hardly surprising.
Draco stared into Potters face, shielding his thoughts with all his
might. There was no question about who it was. He would recognise
those green eyes anywhere after all the times they had glared at him
in class and on the quidditch pitch, trying to intimated him and stare
him down.
'If we summon the Dark Lord in error he will kill us all!' Bellatrix
hissed at Draco, her narrow eyes fixing him to the spot. He could feel
the hatred radiating from her.
'But what about these two?' Lucius pleaded with him. 'These are his
friends, aren't they?'
This was a little more difficult to deny, but fortunately Bellatrix was
distracted at this point by the discovery of a sword which had been in
Grangers possessions.
Draco didn't recognise the sword, but Bellatrix was furious. She
screamed about how Granger must have stolen it from her vault at
Gringotts. The day was about to take another downwards turn.
Before he knew what was happening, their old house elf, of all
creatures, had sprung Potter and all of the other prisoners out of the
cell. Draco's panic began to rise. Potter looked normal again and
everyone could see it was him. Lucius was about to summon
Voldemort! Just before the words could leave his lips, the elf dropped
a chandelier from the ceiling almost hitting Bellatrix and Narcissa.
Draco grabbed Bellatrix's wand which she had dropped, and held it
tightly with his own.
Suddenly Potter was upon him, grabbing the wands. He was going
to try and take them from him. Draco was torn. If he let go, Potter
would have his wand, and Bellatrix's too. But if Potter got the wands
it looked like he would make an escape. Yes, it seemed Potter and
his companions were aiming to retreat, not attack. If they didn't get
away, Voldemort would be summoned and he would be vulnerable…
Unless Draco told Bellatrix not to summon him, but then he would
have to explain why. Then Potter, Weasel and the mudblood would
know of Voldemort's weakness. The stakes were high, very high.
Draco's first concern was to protect his lover from harm.
Draco jumped back out of the way and Lucius, in a rare act of
bravery, stepped in front of his son. Narcissa held her sister back.
'You might be able to avoid my rage Draco, but you won't escape the
Dark Lord this time!' She screamed as Narcissa dragged her
towards the door. 'He'll kill you this time, like he should have done
before. You mark my words you pathetic child!'
Narcissa was a bright woman, she knew her family and she knew
her son. She had been suspicious of Draco's behaviour of late, and
this odd encounter intrigued her further. She would attempt to calm
her psychotic sister first, then she fully intended to interrogate her
son!
Draco wanted to explain, he really did, but now was not the time.
Lucius turned to him once they were alone, expecting some kind of
confession, explanation or story, but none came. All Draco said was
'I need to go somewhere, now.' His voice was breathless and his
eyes were wide with panic.
He charged to his room and grabbed the portkey. It was not glowing,
it would not work. Draco flung it down on the bed with a cry of
frustration. He could apparate to the house, but there was no point. If
the portkey was not glowing then Voldemort was not there. What
could he do? He felt so powerless. This was when he realised that
having the dark mark would actually have been really useful!
His father! His father had the dark mark. He could do it for him.
Draco ran back down stairs and grabbed hold of Lucius's arm.
'Are… are you sure, Draco?' He stammered. 'If we call him without
good reason he…'
'I don't have the mark. Just call him now!' Draco shouted, tears in his
eyes.
'Come, sit down.' Voldemort urged, it was clear that Draco was
deeply distressed. He lead him to the table and they sat beside one
another.
'I don't know if they came here on purpose, some kind of an attack,
but Bellatrix was here and…'
'She was insisting we summon you, but I knew that it wasn't a good
idea not until you have the wand. Potter and his friends got away, but
he stole my wand and aunty Bella's. I had to warn you. I had to let
you know how close they were. I was so worried they were going to
find you!'
Draco was shaking, the poor thing. Voldemort gently stroked his
face.
'It's ok though love.' He smiled. 'It's all ok. You can use my wand for
the time being as I have some excellent news concerning the other
wand.'
Voldemort was just about to answer when the door was flung open
with a loud crash. A woman screamed and a man was shouting.
'Kill him, my Lord!' She shrieked, pointing wildly at Draco. 'Kill him!
He let Potter escape! He deserves to die. He wouldn't identify Potter
and because of that he got away. Kill him, please, don't let him live
again!' She pleaded.
'How DARE you come in here like this when I said I was not to be
disturbed!' He roared, making Lucius and Narcissa jump in fright.
Bellatrix would not give this up easily however. This was her chance.
Her chance to get rid of Draco. If only she could make Voldemort see
sense.
'Why keep him alive, my Lord?' She asked imploringly. 'He has failed
you before, he is not only useless but he is a liability. Get rid of the
wretch!' She snapped, looking at Draco. She was desperate. 'He's
nothing special my Lord, really! If it's boys you want I'm sure Severus
could bring you any number of them from that school of his!'
'Oh shut up, Aunty Bella!' He snapped. It was hard to tell who
amongst the audience was most shocked. He took a deep breath.
'The Dark Lord has only my father's wand to use at the moment, it is
not strong enough to face Potter with.' Draco hissed.
'Potter is dangerous and if you don't recognise that than you are
even more of a fool than I imagined. The Dark Lord must not be in a
position where he has to face him until he has a more powerful wand
at his command.' Draco walked over to Voldemort and rested his
hand on his. 'It's too bigger risk.' He concluded calmly.
Their true relationship was being revealed to this select group but
somehow it didn't seem to matter now. Six months ago, when Draco
had been injured and had nearly died, their relationship had felt
fragile and like they needed to keep it a secret. They had felt the
need to protect their love while they grew closer and closer. Now
they were so close it didn't matter if others knew. They were strong
and solid. The pretence had served its purpose, but it was no longer
needed.
'Your son is correct, Lucius. The wand you so very kindly gave me
lacks the power for me to face Potter. However a plan is well
underway to acquire an appropriate one.'
'We did not know, my Lord.' Lucius continued. 'We are sorry.'
'As your behaviour has just proven, Bellatrix, you are far too erratic
to be trusted and confided in these days!' Voldemort hissed and
Bellatrix looked as if she had just been stabbed. 'It is only because of
your years of loyal service that I have not already begun to torture
you for this episode this evening.'
'For the time being I will leave you all to fight like children amongst
yourselves. Draco and I have things to discuss and would rather do
so elsewhere.'
Bellatrix stood staring after them, aghast. If she had she a heart it
would have broken. Which bit had been more painful? Being told that
Voldemort was disappointed with her, or seeing the way he held that
obnoxious little brat and seeing them disappear together. Together.
She could not bring herself to speak.
'I think you should leave now.' Narcissa spoke at last, breaking the
silence. 'Lucius and I have had enough of visitors for today.'
'Goodnight, Lucius, Sissy.' She said trying to recover her pride after
her appalling emotional outburst.
Lucius simply nodded. Narcissa did nothing, she would not forgive
her sister easily for this.
Chapter 49
Outside in the entrance hall, Bellatrix had never been more glad to
be leaving the manor in all her life. She felt sick. A gnawing, tearing
pain was shredding her from the inside.
Greyback closed the dining room door behind him and turned to
Bellatrix.
'His high esteem and closeness with the Dark Lord is an honour,
surely? Funny, because I'd assumed he was just using him, you
know, with the way he treats him. I guess it's all just some perverted
sex game or something.' He laughed, and gave Bellatrix a playful jab
with his elbow.
About to hand her her cloak, Greyback paused and stared at her,
eyebrows raised.
'Oh Gods Bella! Please tell me you're not still holding a candle in that
direction, are you?' He said half laughing. 'You're barking up the
wrong tree there, darlin'.'
'That's better.' Bellatrix replied, her bruised and fragile ego comforted
by his respectful tone of voice.
Bellatrix sighed crossly. If there was one thing she could really do
with right now, it was a drink. She scowled at him angrily.
At the bar Greyback barked instructions for a bottle of liquor and two
glasses before he and Bellatrix headed to a secluded table in the
corner of the room.
Greyback smirked.
'You needed that, then?' He smiled, taking a leisurely sip of his drink.
'Of course, my lady.' He grinned. She took her time over this one.
The pub was noisy, which made it hard to talk. It meant sitting very
close to anyone if you wanted to try to talk at all. They said very little
to each other but Greyback leered close to her each time he topped
up her drink.
Bellatix had known instantly that Greyback was offering her more
than just a drink. She hardly needed to use her skills at Legilimens to
know he was prepared to give her more than just a shoulder to cry
on. How dare he even contemplate the idea, the dirty, disgusting
animal? The very idea of it turned her stomach… in a way that she
rather liked. It would be filthy, hard and ugly. It would be unnatural,
obscene and wrong. Exactly how she liked it.
He had an animal smell about him, primal and base. He had the
manners of an animal and the behaviour of one too. Without warning
he moved very close to Bellatrix and slipped his huge paw-like hand
under her skirts.
She glared at him angrily but did not flinch and as his hand moved
higher she shifted slightly, parting her legs allowing his hand to slip
between them.
She kept her features reticent as his thumb pressed her most
sensitive point and began to rub firmly in a circular motion. She
clenched her fists momentarily and gave a sharp sigh, which could
have been either anger or lust, before she took drink. With his free
hand he poured her another.
She pouted crossly and closed her eyes for a moment as she felt the
heat intensify between her legs and a moistness inside her as her
body began to respond to the stimulation. Greyback sensed this and
began to work his fingers between her outer lips, keen to dip them
into the source of her growing wetness. Bellatrix shifted again,
opening her legs a little more.
He was right, it had been a while, and hell, she did need it! His
thoughtless groping, his rough hands, his animalistic touching of her,
in public no less, had certainly awakened a need which had been
sleeping in her for some time. Her body was now aware of its need,
and she felt a hunger within her that needed satisfying, an emptiness
that needed filling.
He leant closer to her and pushed two fingers up inside her, filling
her in a way that caused her to desperately want more. She gritted
her teeth and then downed her drink. Slamming the glass down on
the table she turned to him.
'You had better not bite me, you filthy half-breed.' She growled
aggressively.
Her knees pulled up, she spread her legs for him and he buried his
wolf-like face in her.
Once he was sure, despite her stubborn silence, that he had made
her come several times, he sat up and wiped his mouth on the back
of his hand.
Fenrir smiled a lecherous smile. Bellatrix had just the right body to
make that filthy pose irresistible. Her thin waist and full hips were
emphasised, and she looked so wet and inviting he could waste no
more time before taking her. He mounted her roughly from behind,
his large hands gripping her, one at the shoulder one at the waist.
She had assumed that the knotting would be painful. What she
hadn't counted on was the multiple orgasms it would give her as he
rutted her hard and mercilessly for over an hour. When at last he
came inside her, he flopped forward onto her, panting heavily,
waiting for the knot to relax.
Once he was able to pull of her she stood up and got dressed, her
usual haughty, cross expression on her face. She disapparated
without a word.
Fenrir coolly watched her leave and a smug smile played across his
lips. He was confident she would be back for more. The following
evening he was not disappointed. Neither was she.
Chapter 50
There were so many things to say, so much to talk about; but Draco
had kept his mind focused on one thing Voldemort had said just
before they were interrupted…
The apparated to the bed. It was their default apparation place these
days. Voldemort turned to Draco and looked like he was about to
kiss him, but before he had the chance Draco asked excitedly
Draco jumped.
'Then go! Get it now!' He encouraged wildly, then added. 'I could
come with you, if you want me to.'
'I will go alone, thank you, Draco.' He soothed, stroking Draco's face,
which was flushed with excitement.
Voldemort did not want Draco to have to be witness to this. Draco
was braver, cleverer and more focused than he had ever imagined,
but he did not want to ask Draco to look once more on the dead
body of Albus Dumbledore. Not when the last time he saw him was
one of the worst nights of both their lives.
'I want you to stay here.' Voldemort told him. 'You will be quite safe. I
have warded the house so that only we can apparate here freely. I
think perhaps you should avoid your family for a while… particularly
your aunt.' He added.
'It's buried with its last owner.' Voldemort smiled. 'Grave robbing. It's
not a delightful mission, but it's not a dangerous one. It won't even
take long.'
'They know, and rightly so.' Voldemort said decidedly. 'I am tired of
the way they look at you.' He wrapped his arms around Draco,
protectively and possessively. 'You will sit at my side from now on.
Everyone will know your status. Just so long as you remain
appropriately subservient in public.'
'Will you punish them for tonight?' Draco asked in a low voice.
'That…' Said Voldemort. 'And I can never be sure if she… likes it.'
He concluded awkwardly.
'That will hurt her more than any curse in itself, I expect.' Draco
mused.
'I don't know.' Said Draco. 'You are pretty unforgettable.' He smiled,
his eyes full of the doe eyed innocence that Voldemort was both
puzzled by and addicted to. This was what made Draco special!
Voldemort pressed his thin lips over Draco's soft, full ones, and
kissed him firmly and meaningfully. Thanking him for the compliment
and for his pure, unwavering devotion.
'There you go with the bossiness!' He teased him with a sly smile.
Draco felt very alone once Voldemort was gone. He even felt a little
scared in the house on his own despite having been there alone
many times before. He stood up and began to pace the room. When
Voldemort returned he would have with him the most powerful wand
in existence. The Elder wand. It was the stuff of legends! Draco
would probably be allowed to hold it! His mind buzzed excitedly. But
this thought made him very painfully aware that his own wand was
no longer in his possession. He felt a twinge of deep sadness.
He'd had that wand since he was 11. It had chosen him. The minute
he had picked it up he felt a bond with it, he hardly even needed to
wave it or try a spell. It had just been right. Instantly. It belonged to
him. He belonged to it. It's magical resonance harmonised perfectly
with his own and although he could use other wands, no other fitted
him so perfectly as that one. He regretted letting it go as he realised
what a supreme sacrifice he had made in doing so. He had had no
choice, he reminded himself. He did what needed to be done.
But what if Voldemort didn't want him any more now he had the
wand? What if once he was all powerful he decided he didn't need
Draco anymore and cast him aside?
Being alone didn't suit Draco when he was anxious. His breathing
ragged, he paced the room, his mind going to all the very worst
places it could. It seemed he didn't need a dementor to torment his
mind, he was capable of doing that all by himself.
'Enough!' He snapped at himself mentally and forced himself to go
and sit on the bed. A book he had been reading was on the floor
beneath it, so he picked it up and tried to focus his mind on reading
for a while. He read the words, but would probably not have been
able to describe what he had just read if he were asked.
Voldemort was gone about half an hour, perhaps a little longer, but it
was one of those times when time seemed to have laws unto itself
and although a clock would have told Draco 45 minutes or so, his
mind told him a lot longer.
Voldemort appeared back in the room and Draco leapt up. He froze
for a moment and stared at the Dark Lord…
Did he have it? What happened next? They stared at each other, the
atmosphere electric. Voldemort looked possessed, powerful,
adrenalin coursing through him. What was he going to do? Draco's
heart froze. Was Voldemort going to kill him now?
Voldemort stared at the boy. The strange little blond boy. Wise yet
naive, clever and foolish, fragile yet strong. The boy he knew in
every detail yet didn't understand. He didn't like things he didn't
understand. Voldemort was high and delirious with his new found
power. This boy would have given him anything willingly, but that
didn't matter as he could take everything from him if he wanted to
regardless. He needed no one. With this wand, he was invincible.
However scared the strange little blond boy may have been, it lasted
only for a fleeting moment. He stepped towards Voldemort, his body
language open and warm. Clarity and honesty in his eyes, and
genuine concern in his voice when he spoke
His voice and his proximity seemed to bring Voldemort out of his
strange trance. Draco's voice. It reached him, it grounded him. Draco
stood close now and he could smell the familiar smell of him and all
of the memories came flooding back.
Voldemort lunged forward and grabbed Draco in his arms, gripping
him so tightly it hurt. Draco gripped him back just as tightly,
reassured and relieved to be in his arms again. The trance
Voldemort had been in, however short lived had frightened him,
however well he had hidden it.
'It's alright.' Said Draco softly. 'You just looked like you were
possessed or something.'
'I didn't know what I was doing.' He pleaded weakly. 'I just felt
completely high with power, I couldn't think properly.'
'It's ok.' Draco assured him, his mind clearing of fear, he saw clearly
once more. 'It's ok. Tell me what happened, did you get the wand?
Voldemort nodded, then answered.
'Yes. I got it.' He took a breath. 'I tried it out there and then. It works,
but it gave me a strange feeling, it was like being drunk with
power…' He paused and squeezed Draco hard. 'I think it's ok now
though.'
'It's the most powerful wand in the world, it's hardly surprising!' Draco
assured him and lead him over to the bed to sit down.
He drew out the wand and held it in his hands for Draco to look at.
Draco stared in awe. The Elder wand! The most powerful wand in
existence! It looked oddly familiar…
'It looks like…' He began. 'I recognise it, I'm sure!' He gasped. 'Who
was its last owner?' He asked, the pieces of the puzzle not quite
falling into place.
'You mean…?' He gasped, 'You mean, he had it, all this time? He
was using the Elder wand?' Draco was astonished. No wonder so
many powerful people had feared Dumbledore, no wonder everyone
thought he was so great, if he had the Elder wand it has command!
'He had it. He used it. It was his.' Voldemort confirmed. 'It explains
many things.'
'Was there any doubt?' Draco asked. He had been reading all about
the Elder wand last summer but had been busy focusing on his
NEWTS since then and couldn't recall all he had read.
'It's all going to be alright now you have it. I know it is.' Draco said
happily.
Chapter 51
The following morning, Harry stretched and turned over in an
unfamiliar bed, his mind foggy from sleep and from the dramatic
events of the day before. Opening his eyes he saw the slender figure
of a pale blond boy laying beside him, seemingly sleeping. He had
his back to him, but he knew just by his scent who it was.
Harry buried his face in Draco's hair and nuzzled into the crook of his
neck, kissing him gently and teasingly. Draco, it seemed slept naked,
as did Harry.
Harry felt himself growing hard against the curve of Draco's ass. The
usual morning arousal and for once, some real purpose to it! He
traced his hand lightly down Draco's body and gripped him gently at
the hip. He began to thrust his erection against him hopefully.
Draco gave an adorable soft giggle and reached his hand back,
resting it on Harry's hip.
'What are you doing?' Draco laughed gently. 'Don't you have more
important things to be doing this morning?' He said teasingly.
'How can I think about anything else with you laying there, naked
and waiting for me?' Harry whispered, his voice sounding softer and
more seductive than he had realised he was capable of!
'Of course, master.' Replied Draco playfully. 'I want to be here for you
and to please you whenever you need me. I always want you!'
Harry drove into him and Draco gave a little cry as he was entered,
but it didn't sound like pain. Harry didn't want to hurt him, not at all.
He felt very close to him. He felt inordinate amounts of gratitude
towards him for all the ways he had been there for him the previous
day… He had been there when he needed him then, and was here
now. Now that he needed him like this.
He could tell that Draco was happy. It was odd, as if he could feel
Draco's thoughts, although Harry had never been good at
Legilimens. Draco was not disappointed that this was not a full on, all
out kinky sex game fuck-fest. He was really quite happy with the
leisurely and intimate pace Harry had set. Draco was happy simply
to be able to be there to satisfy his lover, he didn't need any more
than that at the moment. Harry smiled and closed his eyes in
ecstasy.
He had slipped both his arms around Draco and he gripped him
tightly. Draco still gripped Harry's hip with one hand and held his
hand with the other. Draco's head rested against Harry, his eyes
closed too.
'Oh, Gods… yes!' Draco moaned. As harry slipped his hand back
down to his cock and caressed it firmly, but thoroughly unhurriedly.
It wasn't like the sex Harry usually pictured having with Draco… and
he pictured it often! This was very gentle, very sweet and warm.
Playful and fun. It was like a good morning hug with extra benefits. If
only every morning was like this, Harry thought.
Harry snuggled into the back of Draco's hair and rutted against him,
pushing his cock deep inside Draco's tight ass.
Harry was surprised that Draco was there so soon, but delighted that
he pleased him so much!
'Come, baby.' He urged him. 'I want to feel you come while I'm in
you.' He whispered.
Draco gave a low cry, as if Harry's words had just taken him over the
edge. Harry felt Draco's cock twitch and his come erupt from the
head, soaking his hand, and the bed sheets.
Taking hold of Draco's hip once more, Harry began to rut him harder
and faster, feeling his own climax approaching. Spurred on by
Draco's breathless yelps, Harry at last came hard inside him,
flooding his passage with his fluid.
He rested his head against Draco's neck and closed his eyes in a
moment of total bliss…
Harry opened his eyes, waking up groggily in an unfamiliar bed. He
turned over, about to reach for the boy who slept beside him, his
heart almost breaking with shock when he realised he was alone.
Alone, in this strange new bed, admittedly more comfortable than the
tent he had been sleeping in recently, but still, not a patch on the one
he had just been dreaming about.
A single tear ran down his cheek and he turned over and pulled the
blankets tightly around himself, wrapping his arms around his own
body, as he tried to bring back the memories of his dream in as
much detail as possible.
It had been a lovely dream. And for once it was one he didn't have to
feel so ashamed of. There was nothing abusive, nothing forceful,
nothing humiliating. There had been no power imbalance, it had all
been lovely and playful and mutual. 'That's how it will be.' Harry
thought to himself. 'When all this is over, that's how it will be. Every
morning. It will be just like that.'
And the best thing about that dream, was that, in Harry's mind, there
was no way it could have been one of those dreams. In his mind,
there was no way what he had just experienced could possibly have
been Voldemort with Draco. No way .
His brain clearing from the haze of sleep, the bleak reality of his
situation returned to his mind. They were in hiding in a safe house,
Hermione recovering from being tortured. They had had a narrow
escape, they had had to bury a friend. They had a group of newly
liberated prisoners with them and an enormous task ahead of them.
And yet Harry was thinking about Draco.
'I can't be sure…' He said 'I can't be sure.' Of course he was sure! I
know he was! He knew it was me!'
It only got worse when the wand maker confirmed that the long
straight wand had belonged to Draco Malfoy and that it now seemed
to have an allegiance to Harry. Harry said nothing to the others of
course, but what else could it mean? It was becoming more and
more clear. Draco was in love with him! There was a war to win and
there was a reason to win it!
Chapter 52
After a blissful and surprisingly leisurely wake-up session, Draco and
Voldemort apparated to the manor. They arrived in the hall and
Draco summoned Spinks the house elf and told him to inform his
parents that Voldemort and he were in the library and may require
assistance.
Voldemort sat at the desk and Draco hurriedly bought him the 3
volumes he knew they had on the subject of wand lore. Voldemort
searched through them for the relevant sections.
'He's not unkind to me…' Draco had told her. Narcissa relayed this to
her husband.
Lucius frowned. It all seemed so unlikely, that the Dark Lord would
not be unkind to Draco. That said, this had been going on since
Draco was 15 and in all that time Draco had never sustained any
injuries, not that his parents had been aware of. Draco had been so
calm recently when they felt like they were falling apart. Perhaps it
was true?
Narcissa had another confession too. Voldemort had spoken with her
alone and asked her to make sure Draco was away from school on
the night of the attack. Although the date had been changed, she
assumed that the Dark Lord had sanctioned this and had himself
removed Draco from the school and kept him at his own house. She
had been spared the reality of what had happened that night.
In the early days, Narcissa had assumed that her sisters early
morning visits had been sad and sorry attempts to avoid the
amorous advances of a lecherous husband that she was not
attracted to. Narcissa had thanked her lucky stars that, for all his
faults, Lucius had always been a considerate and skilled lover. She
had allowed her sister the refuge she sought, through pity. It soon
became evident, that however numerous Rodolphus's faults were,
lechery was not one of them. Quite the opposite in fact. He was not a
fiery hot blooded man, in any area of his life. He paid his wife very
little attention sexually and it was through neglect she began to feel
urges in other directions. She was not inclined towards giving herself
to others however, she had her reputation to think of. Perhaps this
was why she had set her sights on the unachievable. It was only
once she was forced to realise just how unachievable the Dark Lord
was, that she finally caved in to her needs and sought satisfaction
elsewhere, finding a surprisingly good match in the process. Of
course, she would tell no one about that!
This morning Narcissa had been less keen to welcome her sister.
Bellatrix had begged for Draco's death only the day before. Narcissa
was reluctant to forgive that in a hurry! However, Bellatrix had
spoken to her alone. Had offered her what was an unusually genuine
apology and an embarrassing admission that she now accepted that
she would never be with the Dark Lord. Narcissa did not fully forgive
her, but as Draco had been unharmed and she felt such sympathy
for the sisters unsatisfactory marital arrangements, she allowed her
into the house in a courteous manner, if somewhat lacking her usual
warmth.
'If you insist.' Lucius had said firmly. 'But if the Dark Lord is still angry
with you, you will have no support from us.'
Voldemort sat behind the desk, a large book open in front of him.
Draco sat on the arm of the chair, Voldemort's arm was around
Draco's waist affectionately and they spoke in hushed yet animated
voices, Draco pointing at a passage in the text in front of them.
They could not have looked more 'together' if they had posed it
purposefully and Lucius felt his stomach lurch and his heart tense as
he caught sight of them. His son belonged to the Dark Lord now.
Draco looked at Voldemort with the upmost love and admiration, as
though he thought he were the greatest man in all the world. Lucius
remembered a time when his little boy had looked at him like that. Of
course it was only right that Draco would not always think his parents
the most important people in the world but Lucius wondered, if he
had known of Draco's preference for men, would he have tried to
give him a more gentle and loving role model to base his
expectations on?
'Right away, my Lord.' Said Narcissa willingly. She had locked eyes
with her son and could see past the nerves caused by his aunts
presence, could see a genuine happiness flickering there. It may
only have been a small comfort, but it was enough for the time being.
'Bellatrix.' Voldemort said flatly. 'I do not believe your presence was
requested.'
'This is the only book we have, besides the ones you have already
found.' She said, her voice rich with affection. Almost instinctively
she stroked Draco's hair back from his face as she spoke.
'Be seated.' He commanded and they did as they were told. 'You
may be the first to share in the exciting news.'
'I have located and acquired a suitable wand with which to face
Potter.' Voldemort answered. He drew the wand from his sleeve.
'Behold, the Elder Wand.'
There was a stunned silence, even Draco looked again in awe at the
legendary wand in Voldemort's hand.
Lucius nodded.
'We have to find out about how it's ownership transfers.' Draco said
coolly, enjoying being able to speak freely at last. He spoke to
Voldemort. 'Look! Here!'
He pointed to a section of the text before them. Voldemort looked at
it.
'When the master of the Elder wand dies, the one who takes it from
him shall be the new master.' Draco read aloud. He frowned.
'That was me.' Voldemort answered with a sickly smile, but then he
noticed Draco's concerned face. 'What's the matter, Draco?' He
asked. 'Something is wrong.'
Narcissa, Lucius and Bellatrix did not speak, they did not dare and
did not know what to say. Each one of them felt like interlopers on a
scene of which they had no real knowledge, as though they were
spying through a window but could not take part.
'Bring it to me, please.' Draco said and she jumped up right away,
happy to be of use.
'I've had it for years.' She confessed as she turned the discoloured
pages, searching for the story they required. 'It was passed down
through my family. I was meant to read the stories to you, Draco, but
I never could quite grasp Latin, I'm afraid.'
Voldemort felt oddly touched that she had chosen to share this
information. People didn't often voluntarily share personal things with
him. He was equally pleased at the enthusiastic way she exclaimed,
Draco, Voldemort and Narcissa huddled over the book. Lucius and
Bellatrix, not wanting to be left out, had risen from their seats and
leant nearer.
'In order to… master the Elder wand… one must… first…' He
paused. His face froze.
'Go on!' Lucius urged him anxiously. They were on the edge of a
break through.
'Draco?' He asked.
'In order to master the Elder wand one must first kill the owner.'
Lucius put the sentence together.
'But he was killed by…' Narcissa began. Then the penny dropped
and she gasped in horror. The same horror that had already seized
her son.
'Kill Snape!' She beamed. 'Easy. What do you think of that, Draco?'
She smiled sadistically.
Draco felt like he was under water. For the last few minutes he had
not drawn breath and although he was aware of what was happening
around him, he was not in control and was fighting powerlessly to
process what was happening. His lower lip trembled.
'It's what must be done.' He said in a voice that was not quite his
own.
Chapter 53
Nothing was quite making sense inside Draco's head. His brain was
swimming with emotion. Voldemort had to kill Snape. Snape! The
man who had saved Draco's life, twice. Draco's friend, one of the few
people in the whole world he truly trusted. He and Snape had been
through some bad times and come out the other side the stronger for
it. Snape was his friend, and now the person Draco loved most in the
world was going to kill him. And it was not for small stakes either. If
Voldemort didn't kill Snape and master the Elder wand, he himself
was likely to be killed by Potter. Draco's heart was being wrenched in
two.
His heart hurt, but something in his head hurt too. Something about
this whole premise just didn't quite fall into place. He searched his
confused and emotion-ridden brain, trying desperately to recall a
scrap of information that he could not quite put his finger on.
'I don't think there is.' Voldemort said coldly. Hurting Draco hurt him
and he didn't entirely know how to cope with it.
'Where did you read it, can you remember that?' He asked. Even
without Draco's distress, the idea of killing Snape was not pleasing
to him. It would be a shame to lose such a loyal and useful follower if
it could be avoided.
'It was one of your books.' He said at last. 'It was last summer… I
can picture it. Please can we just check first?' He pleaded with
Voldemort.
'Of course.' Voldemort replied. 'It would be foolish to take this course
of action if it can be done another way.' He said firmly.
'We will go and find the book and bring it back here.' Voldemort said
to Draco, still ignoring the others, and with that he took Draco's arm
and appareated them away.
They arrived in the library at the Riddle house and Draco rushed to
the bookcases and began at once to search for the volume he could
only just picture.
Draco was very upset about the thought of losing Snape. Was he
too upset about it? Did he love Snape? Voldemort thought of all the
time they could spend together while Draco was away at school and
an icy fear gripped him. Why should Draco care if Snape died? Why
should Draco care if anyone died if they still had each other? It was
not right. He should not be this upset, he should not really be very
upset at all… should he?
'You seem rather too upset about the idea of me killing Severus,
Draco.' Voldemort hissed. 'Does he really mean that much to you?
More than I mean to you? Would you rather have him alive and me
vulnerable? Is that what you want? His narrowed red eyes glared
with the emotional boy searchingly.
Draco stopped hunting for the book and stared in disbelief, tears
filling his eyes and rolling freely down his cheeks.
'How can you even say that?' Draco exclaimed through his tears.
'How can you even question for one moment that I love you more
than anyone else in the world? What more do you need me to give
you?' He shouted.
His passion and the force of his emotion stopped Voldemort in his
tracks. Maybe Draco had a point. His jealousy began to turn to
shame.
Voldemort did not quite know what to say to him. He'd never really
seen Draco cry like this before.
'I'm sorry.' He said at last. The words sounded odd coming from his
lips, and he said them almost mechanically as though it was simply
the only thing he thought he could say.
'I just want you to know how much I love you!' He whispered. 'If you
knew that, you would never doubt me! You are a master of
Legillimens, read my mind!' He pleaded. 'Read me, I'll let you in, then
you'll know!' He gasped.
'I don't need to.' Voldemort whispered and he took Draco in his arms
and held him tightly. This was his real apology. Of course he knew
Draco loved him! He kissed the top of Draco's head. At length he
released him. 'Now, find that book.' He instructed.
Draco smiled gratefully. His face still tear stained, he returned to his
task.
'This is the one!' He cried at last, pulling down a large volume and
rushing to Voldemort who looked at it questioningly.
Voldemort sat down and Draco opened the book on the desk.
'That book isn't about wand lore, Draco.' Lucius said nervously.
He flipped hurriedly through the pages while the others waited with
bated breath.
'We know that bit!' Bellatrix snapped and was shot cutting looks by
everyone in the room.
'That kind of means the same thing, darling.' Narcissa said sadly.
' Exterminare wasn't used in the text for long, it's a strange word, it
sounds kind of incongruous, doesn't it? So it was changed to
interficere and remained like that because it made more sense to
everyone.' He took a breath. 'But the important bit is what happened
before that.' Draco's heart pounded, the pieces were falling into
place now!
'To master the Elder wand one has to disarm the owner to take
power from him.' He read aloud.
'It makes sense though, doesn't it?' Draco said, seeking validation for
his research, and some kind of assurance that it had been accepted
and the dreaded course of action was no longer required.
'Dumbledore used the Elder wand, didn't he? It answered him, but
he didn't kill the previous owner. You spoke to the previous owner to
find out where it was!' Draco said to Voldemort.
'So you don't have to kill Severus, my Lord.' Lucius reasoned. 'You
will only have to disarm him.'
'Try it!' Voldemort urged and the onlookers stood well back to
observe the scene.
Draco had never been more nervous, even the first time he had
been asked to try a spell in front of an audience. Slowly he raised his
arm and gave the wand the tiniest flick…
He was hit by a jarring pain up his arm and he stumbled back a pace
of two. There was a horrible rasping sound and then a shattering of
glass as every one of the library windows blew out at once.
Draco gave a cry of pain and Voldemort instantly stood up and held
him to steady him.
'What?' Draco asked her, was she completely raving mad now?
What had Potter got to do with this?
'Potter took your wand!' Bellatrix screamed. 'He took it from you!
Potter 'disarmed' you Draco! You gave him the power of the Elder
wand!' She snapped breathlessly. This was a disaster, yet still there
was some relish in her voice.
Draco froze. His blood ran cold. Please Gods, let this not be true!
Voldemort sat down in shock and fright. Draco's brain scrabbled for
reason and answers.
'I… I let him take the wands.' Draco stammered. It sounded almost
like a confession. 'I let go of them on purpose, to get rid of him. I
made it look like I didn't, but I made the decision to open my hands
and let them go. I wanted him to take them because I wanted him to
get out of the house! Does that still count?'
Draco addressed his question to the whole room in the hope that
someone would have an answer.
Draco's heart rate settling and his breathing slowing, the final piece
of the puzzle dropped neatly into place. His face shone, as though
someone had lit a lamp behind his eyes. He had had a
breakthrough!
'You.' He answered.
Chapter 54
There was a stunned silence from the onlookers.
'The night of the meeting, when you were planning the Azkaban
breakout.' He answered stiffly, avoiding eye contact with anybody.
'I disarmed you?' He mused. Without being too graphic, Draco was
going to have to describe exactly when this had happened.
'Before the meeting.' Draco said, setting a context which alleviated
their embarrassment a little. 'When we were getting ready. I was
making myself look like a slave…' He paused awkwardly. 'You said I
shouldn't be allowed my wand, and you took it from me.'
'I would have given you the wand, but you took it and it caught me off
guard.' Draco continued. 'I gripped it as hard as I could, it was
instinctive. But you're much stronger than me.' He stopped, at the
risk of getting into embarrassing territory again.
'That was the moment it happened.' Draco cried. 'I was the master of
the Elder wand, but at that moment, you disarmed me, you became
the master!'
Draco handed the wand back to Voldemort, who felt a familiar tingle
of power as the wand was reunited with his cold grey hand. It felt
right. The power surge last night must simply have been an adjusting
phase. Now he could tell instantly that he was the master. It felt right.
It was his. He smiled at Draco in wonder.
'Bellatrix.' He barked. 'If you have a mind to redeem yourself for your
behaviour yesterday, you can go with a message to Yaxley and tell
him I wish to meet with him this afternoon. I will require yourself and
your husband also.'
She may have been cheated out of Severus's death, but at least now
she had the chance to be of use again to the Dark Lord. Plus her
husband was being asked for. This would probably mean he would
be given some mission to complete that evening… which would
mean that she would be free to pursue other 'interests'. She
disapparated at once.
'I am going to speak with Grayback and his pack today, and one or
two others.'
Draco nodded.
'If you are returning this evening, my Lord, perhaps you would us the
honour of dining with us?' Narcissa interjected suddenly.
Had she not been his mother, Draco would have hexed her on the
spot!
Exhausted, Draco had flopped into the chair behind the desk, he
slouched back and closed his eyes for a moment, trying to recover
from the morning's ordeal. It was not yet mid day and already he had
experienced a whole plethora of emotion and felt like he just wanted
to sleep for a week to recover. Of course he did not have that option.
Clearly his mother had decided the last 24 hours had not been
traumatic enough so she had felt the need to invite Voldemort to
have dinner with them that evening. Draco wanted to see Voldemort
that evening, but he wanted to see him alone, preferably at the
Riddle house, away from his parents. He wanted to crawl into bed
with him and be fucked into oblivion, until all the upset of the day
disappeared. He could honestly have hexed Narcissa, but one
doesn't hex one's own mother!
Narcissa approached Draco. She felt like she had waited so long for
answers to so many questions and in the last 24 hours she had
received so many answers that she had almost lost track of what all
of her questions were. She knelt down beside him and took his
hands.
Draco opened his eyes. Had his parents seen enough of his
relationship with the Dark Lord that they would not feel the need to
actually ask him anything about it? Draco hoped so.
'I'm ok.' He said calmly. 'I'm glad that Snape will be ok too.' He
added.
'Me too!' Narcissa smiled at him warmly. 'You were so clever to figure
all that out. The Dark Lord really listens to you doesn't he?'
'Yeah, I guess so.' He replied. 'Do you think we could have some
coffee? I am really exhausted.' He pleaded, in an attempt to change
the subject.
Lucius nodded, and Draco felt a renewed closeness with his father
as he noticed the look of disbelief and horror Lucius had given his
wife when she mentioned the evening meal.
Once they were alone, Narcissa turned again to her son. Draco got a
sinking feeling.
'You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to tell me,
darling…' She began.
Draco tensed.
'But please, just tell me this. Does he make you happy? Is this what
you want?' She whispered softly.
Narcissa gave a deep sigh. Of all of the glowing futures she had
dreamt up for her son, this was nothing like any of them. But if Draco
really was happy, she would try to be happy too. It wasn't like she
had any choice but to accept it, but she didn't have to like it if Draco
wasn't happy. But if he was, well, that was what she wanted more
than anything else. She nodded.
'That's alright then darling.' She whispered. 'I just want you to be
happy. Does he… does he take care of your needs?'
'OK, darling, I'm sorry. I won't ask you.' She smiled and stood up.
She extended her hand to Draco. 'Come, let's go and have that
coffee.'
Draco watched, aghast as his mother turned the flowers in the table
centrepiece from blue, to red and then to white as she tried to decide
on which was the most appropriate colour for the evening. His
stomach twisted with nerves, taking him to a level of nervous nausea
he had never experienced before.
Narcissa had already angsted for half an hour over which cutlery
should be used and yelled at the house elf for bringing out the old
napkins rather than the best ones.
'Your outfit clashes with the table decorations.' She snapped. She
had decided on a very deep shade of purple for the table
arrangements, and felt that Draco's blue silk shirt was not a
complimentary tone.
'I'm not wearing those.' Draco said stubbornly. 'They are far too
formal and…'
' Just you go and change into them right now, Draco Malfoy! I
will not argue with you!' Narcissa screamed.
Lucius and Draco both jumped in fright and Draco slunk out of the
room to change, afraid that if he hadn't left at that point he might
have dissolved into a nervous, hysterical giggling fit.
'Oh! Darling!' Narcissa cried when she set eyes on him. 'You look so
perfect!'
She rushed towards him and kissed him, her eyes shining with tears.
Lucius stood in the corner of the room, a glass of port already in his
hand. His wife had chosen his outfit and had made sure he was
perfectly groomed, which made a pleasant change. He looked
almost like his old self again. He looked at his son, his handsome,
clever, brilliant son and wondered why he had never told Draco he
was all of those things when he was growing up. It was probably a
bit late now.
Narcissa glanced at her own hair in the mirror and then fussed with
Lucius's neck tie. Draco gave a pained and anxious frown.
Draco wondered if he had somehow fallen out of his own reality and
crash landed in the middle of a regency romance instead.
'Mother, I have actually met him before. You know that, right?' Draco
clarified sarcastically, and Lucius stifled a smile.
'Don't be cheeky!' Narcissa hissed. 'This all started very badly. Now
is the chance to put it right.' She said authoritatively.
Draco sighed. She had been through a lot. Perhaps he owed her
this.
Over at the Riddle house, Voldemort was also nervous. How in the
name of the Gods had he got himself into this situation? Why did he,
the Dark Lord, now find himself in a situation what he felt he could
not get out of? Did he not have more pressing things to be doing this
evening than having dinner with the Malfoys? Draco didn't want this,
and he was the only one that mattered really. A formal dinner with
Draco's parents? One thing was for sure, it was never meant to be
like this!
He couldn't not go, although the thought had occurred to him. That
would be desperately unfair to Draco. He had hurt Draco enough in
the past without doing so again. He would go. They could suffer it
together.
Voldemort appareted outside the front door of the manor and rang
the door bell as this was probably the correct thing to do in these
circumstances. In the drawing room, Narcissa jumped when she
heard the bell and instantly looked all about her in panic, despite
having checked at least 3 times that everything was perfect.
'He's here!' She gasped and she hurried out of the room to answer
the door. She would not usually answer the door herself, but felt she
should for such an important guest.
She opened the door with her most courteous smile, looking cool
and collected despite her fluttering heart. This was not easy for her
either, Draco and Lucius seemed not to have considered that. She
was terrified of the Dark Lord. She would never have wanted Draco
to have even have met him in person, had she had her way. But they
had met, and become lovers. The fact that they were truly lovers,
mutually and consensually, was the one glimmer of hope that
Narcissa could hold on to. Draco was not being abused, and it
seemed that the Dark Lord had some sort of feelings of affection
towards him. Therefore Narcissa would battle to master her fears
and would try her best to redefine her feelings towards the Dark
Lord, for Draco's sake, and the sake of the whole family.
'Good evening, my Lord.' She beamed as she opened the door and
gave a small respectful curtsey.
She lead him to the drawing room where Lucius and Draco were
waiting. Draco had risen from his chair, as instructed.
Lucius stepped forward and greeted the Dark Lord, handling his
nerves almost as well as Narcissa did.
'Draco…?' Narcissa beckoned her son forward. 'Come and greet our
guest.'
It was all Voldemort could do to keep from laughing out loud. Draco's
tone of voice shattered the illusion of innocence in a heartbeat. He
sounded so cross and sulky about the whole situation.
'I will just go and check on how long dinner will be.' She beamed.
'Lucius, darling, perhaps you will come and check that the wine is
ready?'
'Yes, dear.' Lucius replied, pleased to be able to slip out of the room
for a moment, although a little surprised that Narcissa had suggested
it.
'It's only right to give them a few minutes alone together.' Narcissa
clarified once she and her husband were in the hallway. 'Not too
long, though…' She added cautiously. 'That would not be proper.'
Lucius took her hand in a caring and supportive way, the way you
might do with an ill relative.
Voldemort held him tightly for a moment and kissed him firmly on the
lips.
Draco stood back and looked at him, but did not let go.
His hands moved lightly over Draco's hips and his eyes widened.
'Damn it, Draco! I'm going to be thinking about that all through
dinner!' Voldemort hissed, pressing his body against him, and
groping for a way to get his hands under Draco' clothing.
'I could just take you away right now…?' He suggested. 'You are the
only thing I'm really interested in having for dinner anyway.'
'Gods! Don't tempt me!' Draco whispered. 'We can't go. My mother
would kill me. She'd probably kill you, too!'
Just at that moment they heard the returning footsteps of Lucius and
Narcissa. The door opened and they leapt apart just in time,
Voldemort quickly arranging his robes so as to hide his inappropriate
erection.
Everyone was seated without too much trauma. The table was
relatively small and Narcissa had allocated seats for everyone.
Voldemort and Lucius were seated at what could be considered the
ends of the table and Draco and Narcissa were opposite each other,
between them. Draco wondered if his mother was within kicking
distance if she began to say anything dreadful.
The starter was served, along with a nice white wine, which Draco
drank rather quickly, his father noticed, but couldn't honestly blame
him.
'Do try to eat a little more Draco.' Narcissa said. 'You need to keep
your strength up.'
There was aloud clatter as Lucius actually dropped his fork, followed
by an uncomfortable silence. Draco wished the ground would open
up and swallow him. Him, or his mother. It didn't matter which.
Finally they retreated to the drawing room for drinks, Draco praying
that the ordeal was nearly over. Lucius poured drinks for all of them,
including Draco, much to Narcissa's disapproval. Draco guessed his
father felt he had earned it!
The clock chimed 10 and Voldemort decided this must surely be late
enough for this sort of event to finish. He stood up.
'Thank you for your kind hospitality this evening, Narcissa, Lucius.'
He hissed silkily. 'But I really must be going now.'
'Oh, it's been our pleasure, my Lord.' Narcissa exclaimed. 'We have
all enjoyed your company, haven't we, Draco?' She prompted.
'I will take Draco with me, if it's all the same to you, Narcissa.'
'There are some things I want to discuss with you, Draco.' Voldemort
clarified, hoping this would make it less uncomfortable.
'Well, it's very late. Make sure it's not too long before you get to bed.'
Said Narcissa.
Draco sighed. It was like she just couldn't resist one last parting shot.
'Who are you kidding?' Snapped Draco. 'It was the seventh circle of
hell!'
'Don't!' Groaned Draco, covering his face with his hand. 'Can you
send her to Azkaban, please?'
'I'm going to ASK to see them, next time.' He hissed, earning him the
punch Draco had thus far held back.
'All this time you have known me and only now you decide I'm
perverse?' He asked?
'Well if having dinner with my parents gets you in the mood, then
yes! That's a new level of perversion as far as I'm concerned!' Draco
retorted, making Voldemort laugh again.
'I think it was seeing you in a different setting, wanting you but
knowing I couldn't just take you there and then. That, and you do
look good in formal wear.' Voldemort whispered. 'When I come to
power I'm sure there will be lots of parties and occasions we have to
attend where you will have to be dressed up formally and I will hardly
be able to keep my hands off you. Of course, then no one will dare to
question it if we disappear for half an hour while I fuck you against
the wall in the cloakrooms…'
Draco blushed.
'Surely you aren't that much of a sadist?' Draco asked. 'You wouldn't
put me through a night like that again, would you?'
'I just mean that, I adore you, and that maybe if I was better at these
things I would have courted you like that from the start.' He
answered.
'Let's thank the Gods you're not better at these things then!' Draco
smiled playfully. 'Now, what was it you wanted to discuss with me?'
'Well, if I'm honest, I really just wanted to discuss getting you out of
those robes and onto my cock as quickly as possible.' He grinned.
'So that's your idea of a formal courtship, is it?' Draco laughed.
Draco followed his orders happily. This was, without a doubt, the
best part of the whole evening.
Chapter 56
Draco gave Voldemort a sultry smile and with deep, lustful sigh he
unfastened his robes and let them fall to the floor, revealing that he
was indeed wearing nothing underneath.
Reading the signs, Voldemort stood up and took hold not of Draco's
hands, but of his wrists, gripping him forcefully. He pulled Draco
roughly towards him and pushed both of his hands behind his back
where he was able to secure both of Draco's slender wrists in place
with one of his own large, strong hands. His free hand caressed
Draco's face gently for a moment before roughly pulling his head
back so that Voldemort could access his lips and kiss him hard.
He pushed his tongue into Draco's mouth, forcing his lips apart, one
hand cradling the back of Draco's head so that Draco could not
decrease the pressure between them. He melded their lips together
aggressively.
Although the dinner party had not been the unmitigated disaster it
had the potential to be, it had forced Draco and Voldemort to present
a side of their relationship which was acceptable to Narcissa and
Lucius. It was a side that didn't necessarily meet Draco, or
Voldemort's needs. That was not to say that Draco wasn't happy that
he was no longer permanently and perpetually terrified by his
relationship with Voldemort. That had been exhausting and quite an
emotional rollercoaster. Draco was happy that they talked now, that
they laughed about things when the two of them were alone. He felt
safe with Voldemort, which still seemed an odd concept to him
sometimes, but he did. He would ask questions, say what he needed
and earlier that day he had even shouted at him, and it was all ok. It
was good. It meant that they could actually function together and
other people could know about their relationship. Draco was certainly
happy with the place they had reached, however there was
something he craved about the flutter of nerves he still felt in
Voldemort's presence. Something about how powerful Voldemort
was, that dangerous edge of unpredictability that Draco was deeply
turned on by. The fact that Voldemort was much older, more
experienced and much, much stronger than him, suited Draco's
sexual needs, and Voldemort's too. Although Draco was pleased that
they had somehow, miraculously morphed into this bizarrely
functional relationship, the last thing in the world he would have
wanted was for it to become the homogenised and sanitised affair
they had acted out that evening! Away from his parents, they could
be 'them' again and love each other in the way that they wanted.
Voldemort pressed his forceful kisses onto Draco who received them
gratefully, loving that Voldemort gripped the back of his neck a little
too hard as he kissed him, and loving the fact that he restrained his
wrists. Pleasure washed over Draco as Voldemort kissed him so
deeply. These were kisses he could lose himself in, kisses that made
the rest of the world melt away. It never ceased to amaze him that
Voldemort was such a good kisser. He kissed with such focus, with a
searing, selfish need. Possessive and claiming.
Voldemort often held Draco down like this when they fucked. There
was something very raw and unplanned about holding him down
rather than tying or chaining him. Just holding him with his own
strength was very primal and impulsive where as chaining or tying
him seemed to imply a game or a plan was in place. However,
Voldemort thought, there was something to be said for
spontaneously chaining Draco up like this. It meant he was held still
and was completely vulnerable and Voldemort still had both of his
hands free to torment him with!
Voldemort gave a devious smile. Draco was rock hard already and
stared up at him needily desperate for whatever the Dark Lord
decided was to come next. Voldemort sat back and looked at him.
He was not going to rush this encounter.
Draco gave a lovely soft whimper and Voldemort ever so gently ran
his cool hands down the length of Draco's torso. His hands trailed
down over Draco's hip bones making only feather-light contact with
his skin. He continued to explore Draco's body with gentle strokes,
touching him softly, delicately, in stark contrast to the aggressive way
he had thrown Draco down and chained him. Now his touch seemed
designed to tease and torment and he carefully avoided touching
Draco's cock, knowing this was what the boy wanted most.
Although it was teasing him, Draco actually felt quite relaxed under
Voldemort's affectionate touch and he sighed softly. Voldemort
smiled. He would let Draco become totally relaxed before he really
began to tease him! Draco's eyes fluttered closed. He resigned
himself to wait as long as it took, to enjoy Voldemort caressing him,
knowing that eventually he was bound to give in and give him the
good hard fucking he wanted.
'Aahh!' Draco gasped. The sensation has shocked him out of his
relaxed state and seemed to send a vibration straight to his cock and
he squirmed in response to the undeniably arousing stimulation.
Voldemort had never really played with Draco this way before, but it
seemed that the results were quite satisfying so he decided to
continue. Taking hold of Draco's now puckered nipples, he began to
rub them between his thumb and forefinger sending waves of sexual
stimulation through Draco who had no idea he was quite so sensitive
in that area! It certainly wasn't an area he paid much attention to
when he was alone… maybe he would in future! As Voldemort
squeezed, rubbed and pulled at his nipples Draco's cock seemed to
get harder and harder and the head wetter and wetter with pre come.
Draco wondered if he could actually climax from this alone, but it
seemed that Voldemort was not going to let that happen. Desire was
building up in Draco's body, each pinch seemed to amplify his need
and he keened up from the bed, trying desperately to press his body
against Voldemort to get some stimulation on his almost painfully
hard dick.
Voldemort saw instantly what he was trying to do and was not going
to allow Draco this! He sat back from him and Draco gasped in
frustration the moment he could no longer feel his masters hands on
him. Voldemort drew out his wand. With a flick, Draco felt cold metal
manacles clasp around his ankles and chains secured them to the
end bedposts. He was held tightly, hands above his head and legs
spread. He had very little movement at all.
Draco had realised the nature of the game now and gave a needy
whimper unsure if begging for touch would help or whether it would
make Voldemort hold out longer.
'Oh, I would love to touch you, pet.' He answered. 'But you are so
young and so easily over excited. I need to train you a little, teach
you to be patient.' He drawled.
Draco tried his best to lay still, hoping that this was what Voldemort
wanted.
Voldemort gently wrapped his cool fingers around Draco's cock and
began to work his hand back and forth, very slowly, spreading the
wetness of his pre come over the length of his shaft. Draco tensed
and moaned. This was the stimulation he wanted but this slow pace
was still teasing.
'Fuck, yes!' Cried Draco, tensing and bracing himself for an intense
climax.
'Please, master!' Whimpered Draco. 'I have been waiting all evening!
Please let me come!'
'You can't always get what you want, Draco.' Voldemort drawled as
he sat back and observed the pleading frustrated boy. 'You are very
spoiled and demanding. It's about time you had some proper
training!'
Draco sobbed for real now, tears of frustration beginning to fill his
eyes.
'Now, let's try again, shall we?' Voldemort hissed and he once again
took hold of Draco's cock.
Voldemort teased his slit, spreading his pre come over the head of
his cock.
Almost in disbelief, Draco was sobbing for real now, tears beginning
to roll down his cheeks. Voldemort gently wiped them away.
Voldemort looked offended and he raised his hand and gave Draco a
sharp slap across the face, the sensation almost felt like relief to
Draco!
'No you don't, pet.' Voldemort smiled. 'You love me, don't you?'
'I love you.' Draco whimpered. 'I love you, you fucking bastard!'
'Such a filthy mouth, and such bad manners! I'm not sure you
deserve any pleasure at all tonight!' Voldemort teased cruelly.
Voldemort laughed.
'You don't have any choice about that!' He retorted. 'You are chained
to my bed, naked, you have no choice but to please me in whatever
way I chose!'
'Yes master.' Draco answered sounding suitably chastised.
Voldemort unfastened his own robes and Draco stared needily at the
Dark Lord's thick hard cock. His eyes widened with desire.
'You would love me to fuck you right now, wouldn't you sweet heart?'
He hissed, tugging at his own cock firmly. 'You would love me to fill
your sweet ass with lube and ram my cock inside you, wouldn't you?'
Draco sobbed deeply. This was almost as bad as being touched and
denied! Voldemort's sinister hissing voice talking filth to him could
push him to the edge at the best of times. This was unbearable!
'Gods! You are such a little slut, Malfoy!' Voldemort laughed. 'I think
you'd do just about anything to get my cock in you. You don't even
care if I get you ready first, do you? All those times I've been so nice
and gentle with you, when all you really want is a good hard
pounding!'
'You are a pampered little brat who has always been spoilt, but the
only thing you really want is to be tied up and abused.' Voldemort
hissed. 'You are so pure and perfect, and you just want to be dirty
and obscene. Look at you, you filthy whore! So degraded, so
humiliated and still so turned on! You want it, don't you, slut? You
want me to fuck you!'
'Oh Gods, Yes! Please! Please fuck me!' Draco wailed as he
watched Voldemort furiously tugging his own cock. 'Please, fuck me,
now. Fuck me hard! Hurt me, beat me! Please! I don't care! I don't
care what you do to me, do whatever you want! Just please, please
fuck me now!'
Voldemort gave a deep, gratified sigh and sat back, closing his eyes
for a moment, savouring his climax in an overtly demonstrative way,
to emphasise to the still frustrated Draco just how satisfying it had
been. He fastened his robes back around himself and smiled. Draco
looked so angry and upset!
'Awww, pet!' He cooed maliciously. 'Is that not what you wanted? But
you look so pretty when you cry, and you look even prettier when
you are covered in my come!'
'I fucking hate you!' Yelled Draco crossly, not caring at all if it earned
him more slaps.
Laughing, Voldemort lay down beside Draco and gently stroked his
face with the tips of his fingers. Draco sobbed. Voldemort trailed his
fingers through his come and then placed them on Draco's lips,
forcing his mouth open gently, making Draco lick his fingers clean. It
felt very degrading, particularly because of the slow and almost
affectionate way he did it. Draco was so angry, but lived in hope that
the game was not yet over as Voldemort continued to tease him.
Voldemort silently trailed his cold hand back down Draco's body to
his cock. He was no longer fully erect, perhaps having decided it was
pointless to be so. Voldemort began to stroke him back and forth, the
sensation made even more intense by the wetness of his come.
Draco closed his eyes and sighed deeply. Surely his lover would let
him get there this time!
His cock stiffened in Voldemort's hand and with what little movement
he had, he began to buck his hips.
'Poor little pet!' Voldemort whispered into his ear, making him shiver.
'Am I a cruel master? Do you really hate me so much?'
'I… love, you!' Draco gasped as the intense pleasure washed over
him in waves. 'I love you… so much!' He gasped, feeling so close, as
though any second now…
'Gods! You are fickle, aren't you pet?' He hissed. 'You hate me if I
don't get you off, but the moment I start touching your cock you are
madly in love with me. Who knew your affection could be so easily
bought?'
'I always love you!' Sobbed Draco. 'Even when you hate me!'
'I never hate you, pet.' Voldemort whispered. 'You just need a little
training, for your own good. You know I will take care of you in the
end.'
Draco gave no reply, only a tearful sob. Usually he was sure of this,
but this evening Voldemort seemed to delight only in taking him to
the brink of ecstasy and then denying him a climax. It was too much
to bare.
'Don't you trust me, pet?' Voldemort asked, sitting up and looking
questioningly at the poor tearful boy.
'I… I don't know.' Draco moaned, wanting to relish the touch, but
almost not enjoying it for the fear it would end too soon. Voldemort
sensed this. It was time.
'I want to please you, pet, of course I do. But you have to earn it
sometimes, don't you? You have done well tonight.'
With that, he swiped his tongue across the head of Draco's achingly
hard cock, tasting his own come mixed with Draco's pre come. He
ran his tongue teasingly around the head of Draco's cock, before
taking it in his mouth and beginning to suck him firmly.
Draco tensed his fists and gasped, feeling as though his whole body
might dissolve in pleasure. If Voldemort stopped this before the end,
Draco thought he might actually die of frustration! Draco had
completely lost the power of speech and made only deep rasping
sobs as Voldemort worked his mouth up and down on his cock.
Considering he rarely took this subservient role, Voldemort was mind
blowingly good at giving head, Draco's mind processed, as
coherently as he could. He wished to the Gods he wasn't as close as
he was, because he wanted this to go on all night!
Voldemort suddenly took the whole length in his mouth, the grip of
his throat muscles tight around Draco's cock in a way Draco had
never even imagined. Draco cried out loud, as in only a couple of
thrusts with what limited movement he had, he was pushed to the
spectacular climax which had been denied to him all evening.
Voldemort sat back and looked at Draco, a dazed but ecstatic smile
creeping over his weary flushed face. Voldemort smiled too. It was
so gratifying to have that power over his adorable little pet.
Now disrobed, Voldemort pulled back the bed covers and lay beside
Draco. He covered both of them in the blanket. Draco lay on his side
and Voldemort held him tightly from behind. Draco closed his eyes.
He felt bizarrely safe and secure like this. He snuggled in, pressing
his body firmly against Voldemort's.
A soft hiss came from the end of the bed and Draco jumped. He
looked down and saw Nagini coiled, and starting to move. How long
had she been there?
She hissed again and darted her tongue onto the tip of his nose.
'I haven't forgotten you!' Came a cool voice from the doorway.
Voldemort came and sat on the bed. He stoked Nagini with one hand
and Draco with the other. He smiled.
'What did you say to her?' Draco asked curiously, feeling rather
annoyed as he remembered the fact that Potter could actually speak
parseltongue.
'I told her I have prepared her breakfast for her.' Voldemort said and
Draco laughed. He had imagined they were exchanging dark snakey
secrets in this mysterious language.
Voldemort smiled.
'As you asked so nicely, I suppose I will.' He drew out his wand and
gave it a flick and Draco's chains vanished meaning he was able to
sit up and stretch at last. Voldemort wrapped his arms around Draco
and kissed the top of his head.
'Can I have a shower?' Draco asked.
Fresh and clean after a rather hot and steamy shower, they sat at
the table drinking coffee feeling thoroughly relaxed. They seemed to
be in a strange sort of limbo land, a tranquil moment between what
they had already been through and all that was to come. Somewhere
in the back of his mind Draco was aware of the need to be relaxed
now, as he could not avoid the fact that a war was coming. He tried
to put it from his mind.
Voldemort had tried to calm Draco down. It didn't matter. Most adult
wizards could use any wand to a degree, it didn't mean anything.
Voldemort had to admit though, it was strange that Draco could feel
it so deeply each time Potter cast a spell. The wand, it seemed was
answering to Potter but clearly was still Draco's. It didn't quite make
sense, but if there was one thing that Voldemort had learnt in all his
years, it was that, annoyingly, sometimes magical things didn't make
perfect sense at first glance.
'I don't want it to work for him!' Draco had cried, tears in his eyes.
'Why is it answering him! I want it to backfire on him and curse him
to hell!' He had been quite beside himself with distress.
'It's alright, honey.' He had cooed at him. 'I will get it back for you,
and I'll make him pay for all the times he has hurt you.'
It seemed crazy to Draco that it was Potter who was the great
looming threat. He remembered Potter as a child when they first
started at Hogwarts. He pictured the 11 year old Potter refusing to
shake his hand and sneering away from him in favour of Weasley.
He remembered the scruffy, badly dressed kid who looked like he
was going to wet himself with excitement whenever he witnessed
even the most mediocre of magic. The boy who knew literally
nothing about wizard culture or magical law. He had been annoying,
and he had the usual arrogant, brutish Gryffindor bravado to him.
Then there had been that infuriating phase in 4th year when he was
in the tri-wizard tournament and had suddenly got really buff and
everyone started swooning over him. But at the end of the day, all
that time he had just been 'Potter'. The irritating do gooder who
everyone wanted to fawn over simply because of who his parents
were. The sob story orphan famous for no real merits of his own.
The sickly nice guy hero who always saved the day and still had time
to win a quidditch match and free a house elf in his spare time. He
was Gilderoy Lockheart but without the dress sense, as far as Draco
was concerned.
Except that now he was a danger, a real danger. Not just a danger.
He was the danger. If Potter had his way, Voldemort would be killed.
'He would probably kill me too.' Thought Draco. 'Or throw me into
Azkaban for life.' He would expose the whole of the wizarding world
to muggle society. Half of the wizards would be murdered in their
beds by muggles who feared them. And the others would be forced
to interbreed with muggles so that all the magical blood was watered
down and in a few generations everyone would be a squib!
It was hard to be happy, even about all the things that were going
right. The nervous glances of the death eaters as they observed
Draco sitting, not at Voldemort's feet, but at his right hand, at
meetings. Leaning on the arm of his chair and whispering to him
from time to time. The boy was clearly no longer just a toy, but
someone of great importance and influence. Draco tried to enjoy the
feeling of satisfaction and pride he felt, but with the war looming
before them he could not truly relax.
Draco stood helplessly with his parents. He was scared. For many
reasons. What had happened to make the Dark Lord was so angry?
And was he going to turn his anger onto Draco and his parents? He
appeared out of control, killing almost indiscriminately whoever his
eyes settled on. Draco had never witnessed a scene like this one. To
him it seemed to happen almost in slow motion, yet there was
nothing he could do to make it stop.
At last Voldemort turned and his gaze fell on the Malfoys. Although
his eyes remained wide with anger and bloodlust, something about
the sight before him bought his rage back under control, to a degree.
He lowered his wand, and breathing heavily he walked past them as
they huddled at the far end of the room and departed for the drawing
room.
She had tried, she had really tried! She had done everything she
could to try to accept that her son was having a relationship with this
murderous monster, to try and be okay with it, for Draco's sake. She
had even invited the Dark Lord for a civilised dinner with the family,
cordially entertained him to try and make this whole situation feel
okay. She had wanted desperately to find a way to make it all feel
safe, but after this violent outburst, leaving their house littered with
dead bodies, it seemed it could not be done.
Coolly, Draco touched her hand and lifted it from his arm.
Draco feared this too, but he was in too deep and cared too much
not to follow him.
The drawing room was dimly lit and Voldemort stood with his back to
the room, facing the fire place. Draco wished he could have seen his
face, he might have been able to read him better that way.
Nervously, he tiptoed inside.
Draco tried his best not to flinch or cower. Did Voldemort really mean
what he was saying? Did he really mean to talk to him like he was
no-one?
'Please don't do this.' Draco said, sounding pleading but calmer than
he had expected to.
'I will do what I like!' Voldemort shouted at him violently. 'Who the hell
do you think you are to talk to me in this way?' His breathing was
heavy, his eyes were wide with rage, his hand, which gripped his
wand, was shaking as he pointed it at Draco.
His hand was shaking, and his eyes were wide… with something
more than just rage. They were wide with fear. The second Draco
noticed this, everything changed for him.
'I'm your lover.' Draco said softly as he placed his own hand gently
on Voldemort's and encouraged him to lower his wand. 'I love you.
Please don't push me away.'
Draco held him just as tightly in return and sighed as a few tears of
relief ran down his cheeks. He didn't know himself if it was relief that
Voldemort hadn't hurt him or simply relief that Voldemort still loved
him.
Draco held him tightly and stroked him. He decided the first thing to
do was to get them both out of the manor as quickly as possible as
he was sure that Voldemort would not want anyone else to witness
this.
Sitting on the bed, somehow Draco felt a little safer. Voldemort was
still gripping him tightly and sobbing into his shoulder. Here they
would not be disturbed. Here, they were really alone. Here
Voldemort was more likely to be honest with him.
Draco said nothing for quite some time. He simply held Voldemort
and let him cry. To Voldemort it felt enormously supportive, even if it
was partly because Draco actually couldn't think of the right thing to
say. At length he spoke.
'Are you alright?' He asked, and then felt stupid because the answer
was obviously 'no'. 'Can I do anything?' He asked, deciding this was
more helpful.
'I'm sorry…' He began, but Draco kissed the words from his lips the
moment he began to speak.
He remembered all too vividly cowering on his cold hard bed trying
to hide beneath the thread bare blanket, listening to hurried, hushed
voices outside the locked door of his cell, you could hardly call it a
room. He remembered also the distinctive high pitched squeaking of
the wheeled bed with the straps as it was pushed down the corridor
towards his door. He remembered the clanking sound of the key
turning in the lock and the sound of the heavy door swinging open.
The light in the hall had always seemed so bright that the figure that
stood in the doorway was completely black in silhouette against it.
Voldemort had always wanted to be strong. This man, the one they
always got to 'come for him' when something had happened, he was
strong. He was so big and powerful that a child had no chance
against him. Voldemort remembered being grabbed from his bed,
seeing his familiar little blanket falling on to the floor. He would try to
scream but usually no sound came out. Once he was on the trolley
and the straps were fastened across him there was no chance of
screaming as he could hardly breathe, they held him so tightly.
Several people would hurry alongside the trolley bed, doctors,
nurses and the matron looking frightened, sad and almost apologetic
as she watched the cold silent tears roll down his cheeks. He
watched the metal light fittings rush past over head. There were 22.
They marked the countdown to the terrors that awaited him at the
end of the long tiled corridor.
He was going to be punished. He hadn't even meant to do it, he had
just been so angry. That girl and those boys had been taunting him
all day. They had lost their parents in a fire, an accident. Family
visited them from time to time. He had never known his parents.
They told him his mother was a prostitute and made up vile graphic
stories about how she died. They taunted him until he was close to
tears. Then the fat boy had done it. He had thumped him and spat
on him. Retaliation had been an accident. Anger had surged up
inside him and he had shouted. But somehow his voice had been so
powerful that the fat boy had been thrown back across the room,
thrown over 12 feet into the glass door which had shattered on
impact with his head. There had been blood everywhere, so much
blood. Voldemort remembered he hadn't meant to do it, but he also
remembered that he hadn't been sorry. Until he was taken to the
room at the end of the corridor.
'Treatments' could go on for hours, even days at a time until all hope
was gone that life could ever be anything other than sheer hell. They
would go on until even the memory of that fat little bastard laying in a
pool of his own blood bought no comfort. The only reason
Voldemort's heart didn't stop beating was because one day he would
make them pay. One day he would be so powerful that no one would
ever be able to hurt him again. He would be so strong he would be
able to break a man in a heartbeat. He would be in control. Of
everything. Never again would he be powerless. Never again would
he be a victim. One day he would be the powerful one and then
everyone would have to fear him. The whole world would pay.
His whole childhood had been coloured by fear. The fear of the
torture that would come as a result of a silly, involuntary, childish
outburst which he didn't know how to control.
Voldemort wondered if there was ever a time in his life when he had
not been scared in one way or another. Even once he went to
Hogwarts, even after he left, he had to take such great risks to get
what he wanted, there was always danger. But he would never give
up, the scars were too deep, he would never stop fighting. Perhaps
once he rose to power he would feel safe? However even when you
are a leader there is always fear that you may be over thrown. Fear
stalked him, waiting for a vulnerable moment when it could destroy
him utterly.
It was all too much. There was a way forward from here, but he
needed to escape if only for a short time. He stood up and walked
over to the window. The curtains were shut as they usually were but
he stared forward as though he were looking at the scene outside.
Draco was still sitting on the bed. He frowned, his face contorted with
sympathy and emotion. It was true, Voldemort did not need to tell
Draco anything verbally, as the memories had flashed through his
mind, Draco had been able to read a good percentage of them
without even trying to, such was the connection between them. His
heart broke for his lover. He would do anything to alleviate the pain!
He watched him, unsure of how best to help. It was a horrible
powerless feeling, seeing someone you love suffer and not knowing
what to do to make them better. He stood up and walked over to
Voldemort. He stood several paces behind him, giving him space,
but letting him know he was there.
'I just want to help you.' He said at last. 'You can't shut me out any
more.'
'You should have run away from me a long time ago, Draco. I have
hurt you so much and still you haven't run away from me.'
'So when are you finally going to get the message that I'm not going
to run away from you?' Draco asked softy. He moved close behind
Voldemort and wrapped his arms around his waist. 'I'm here. You're
kind of stuck with me, I'm afraid.' He sensed Voldemort smile. 'So,
what is it you need from me?' He asked.
Voldemort sighed softly, stroking the soft blond hair back from
Draco's face. He whispered;
'Do you remember you once told me that you needed me?' He
asked.
Draco did not know the specific time he was referring to, but he was
sure he had told him this, probably on a number of occasions. He
nodded.
'You told me that sometimes the whole world is too much and you
feel dreadful. That you need me to be in control and make everything
else go away.'
'I think…' He paused. 'I think I need you to do that for me.' He said,
his voice a broken, quiet whisper.
Draco nodded and kissed him gently and Voldemort looked at him
anxiously. Could Draco do this?
Humbled by his beauty and pride, Voldemort fell to his knees before
him. Draco gripped his shoulder hard and looked down at him with
an air of superiority and a strangely sweet smile. He looked deep
into Voldemort's eyes, feeling the intensity of connection between
them.
Wanting to push for greater trust, Draco had Voldemort naked on his
knees on the bed. Draco did not tie him, realising this would be too
much this first time, but gave him strict instructions not to move or
flinch while he touched him. Draco caressed Voldemort's naked
body, selfishly admiring his defined muscles. He tormented his
nipples and then his cock making him gasp in pleasure and leaving
him hanging on the edge of his desire. If he flinched too much Draco
would slap him and tell him, in his soft pretty voice, to be still and not
to make a fuss.
Draco learnt a great deal about himself that afternoon. About his
capacity to give to another and his ability to sense boundaries. Draco
had the potential to push Voldemort further and suspected that one
day he would. But he had a good idea of what was right for today
and didn't want to take his lover too far from his comfort zone. He
made his demands and Voldemort followed them. There was little
need to reprimand him today.
Voldemort learnt a great deal that day too. For the first time ever in
his life, he had articulated his need to be loved. It felt as if he had
taken his crumbling, porcelain heart from inside his chest and placed
it at Draco's feet. Draco had picked it up in his hand and when he
could have crushed it to smithereens, instead he poured over each
piece of it for his own pleasure, glued it back together with his kisses
and returned it more intact than it had ever been before.
In those two hours, Voldemort was aware only of Draco and himself.
No world existed outside of their bedroom. There was nothing else
that mattered beyond pleasing his beautiful master. There was
nothing to worry about beyond making sure that he was perfectly
happy.
'Now you will fuck me.' He said coolly. 'And you will concern yourself
only with my pleasure, not with your own.' He added firmly.
Voldemort began to feel strong again. Draco had given him so much
that afternoon, he had been so strong, so gentle, so commanding
and in control. He sighed deeply and sat up, turning to face the
beautiful boy.
It was time to trust Draco. It was time to tell him about horcruxes.
Chapter 59
Draco listened. Listened attentively and supportively, and really tried
his best to remain calm.
'So… How many were there?' He asked. Voldemort had told him the
whole story of how they were created and why, without pausing. It
was like a confession. Draco needed to clarify the facts.
'There were 6.' Draco echoed. 'How many are there now?' This was
the important question!
'The diary was destroyed years ago.' Voldemort answered him.
'Potter destroyed it in the chamber of secrets, in 1993.'
'He's known about them all that time?' Draco gasped, sounding a
little outraged. Voldemort should have told him before!
'He didn't know what he was doing.' Voldemort answered. 'It was
more like a fluke.'
'That was only five months ago!' Draco exclaimed, feeling too many
emotions all at once to even begin to be able to articulate any of
them. Five months ago, he had been working with Voldemort to find
the Elder wand. Five months ago that had been close to one
another, they talked, they confided secrets. 'Clearly not all secrets!'
Draco thought, feeling somewhat betrayed.
'I'm sorry, Draco!' Voldemort exclaimed, touching his face gently. 'I
didn't want to worry you.'
'But, the danger you were in!' He cried. 'You were being killed! Don't
you think I would have wanted to know?'
'A bit like the danger you were in when Wormtail was taunting you
into attacking Dumbledore?' Voldemort replied. 'You didn't tell me
about that.'
'That was different!' Draco exclaimed vehemently. 'I was scared of
you. We didn't really talk much back then. We did last December
though. I thought you trusted me.'
'I do trust you.' Voldemort said firmly. 'You don't doubt that now, not
after everything we have been through today.' He sounded resolute,
this was a statement not a question. He was right.
'Yes, I know.' Draco breathed. Being angry would not help, of course.
He did feel hurt, but Voldemort was trusting him now, and that was
what mattered.
'You are the most strong and powerful person I have ever known!'
Draco reassured him. 'I just want to be able to help you.' Draco said
softly. 'Tell me which ones are left. Tell me what happened today that
made you so angry.'
'Yes. It's Helga Hufflepuff's cup. Bellatrix has kept it safe for some
time, however she must have given the game away when Potter was
at your house. She panicked when she thought that Potter and his
friends had taken something from the vault. He must have realised
that she was hiding something there for me.'
'Yes. He knows now.' Voldemort replied. 'He has the cup and he is
on a mission to destroy it and track down the others.'
Draco felt his chest grow tighter as his panic began to rise.
Draco gave a loud gasping sob, clamping his hand over his mouth,
unsure if he was going to vomit or cry at the idea that Potter would
hunt and kill Nagini.
'We'll keep her safe.' He managed, tears in his eyes at the thought
that anyone would try to hurt his beloved pet, which was how he now
thought of her. 'We keep her here, hidden from everyone.'
Draco pushed down the renewed surge of anger that he had been so
close to it all that time without knowing. It was what he could do now
that mattered.
'OK.' Said Draco, firmly. 'You said Potter is hunting for them. Does he
know where it is?'
'I don't know, not fully.' Voldemort confessed. 'Sometimes, and I don't
know why, sometimes he can read my thoughts.'
'Right.' He said assertively. 'I will go there, now, and I will find it
before he even has a chance to access the castle. That in itself won't
be easy for him. I will take it away and I will hide it somewhere. That
way even if he reads your mind, he won't know where it is.'
Voldemort smiled. This meant that all the things he had ever read
from Draco were things he had actually chosen to trust him with.
There was something lovely about that.
'There is no time to waste.' Draco said. 'I will go there now. I'll use
the flue network and go to Snape's office. I can warn him about
Potter, too.'
'As far as anyone knows, I'm only going to Hogwarts. It's the end of
the Easter holidays anyway, Hogwarts is where I'm supposed to be.'
He smiled.
Draco felt far from happy, but at least there was something he could
actually do to help, but he had to act fast.
Chapter 60
Draco apparated back to the manor, his mother rushed towards him
but there was no time to discuss matters with his parents now. The
scene they had witnessed earlier had been dramatic, but for Draco
the drama had not yet stopped. There was no time to talk.
Snape stepped into the room, looking somewhat more flustered than
was usual. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his visitor.
He rushed to Snape and flung his arms around him, his face pressed
against his shoulder. He sobbed deeply into his black robes.
Snape was taken aback by this, but held Draco tightly, unsure what
the matter was. He felt a little nervous, had something happened?
Draco remained tightly pressed against him for several minutes while
he fought with all of his emotions and fears, getting them back under
control whilst safely in the embrace of someone who cared about
him.
'Are you alone?' Draco asked at last. 'I heard voices…' He glanced
anxiously towards the other room.
'What… No.' Snape replied. 'I… I was just thinking aloud, that's all.'
'I am alone, Draco.' Snape assured him, his voice back to its usual
cool drawl. 'What is the matter?' He asked, resting his hands on
Draco's shoulders.
Draco had come here with the full intention of telling Snape
everything. Everything that had happened since he had gone home
for the Easter break. The Elder wand, Potter at the manor, the break
in at Gringotts and Potter's mission to get back to Hogwarts… But
Snape's odd response to his first question had thrown him
completely off track. He did not know what to say.
Had Draco been asked in the recent past weather he trusted Snape,
he would have answered that he trusted him implicitly and
completely, but the hesitance in Snape's answer had him questioning
everything. This was such a crucial time. Misplaced trust could be
the deciding factor between victory and disaster. But if Draco
couldn't trust Snape then who in the name of the Gods could he
trust? The uncertainty cut him like a knife.
'I have come back to see my friends.' Draco said impassively. It was
a feeble attempt.
'You seem rather emotional if that is all you came for.' Snape
scrutinised him. He could feel Draco no longer trusted him. Draco
had come here for a reason and now he was not prepared to divulge
it. What was it that Draco knew?
Draco wished for a moment that he and Voldemort had kept up the
slave act a little longer. He sighed.
Draco spoke sadly to give the impression that he was not as secure
with Voldemort as was actually the case. He concluded that if
Snape's loyalties were ambiguous, he might give more away to
Draco if he felt that Draco was somewhat unsteady too.
'I am glad you are ok, though. I feel much happier for knowing that.'
Draco added sounding very wholehearted and sincere.
Snape smiled. Draco was a sweet boy. He felt such a strong bond
with him. They were both caught in the middle of this conflict, both
trapped by their own lives. Snape wondered how different things
would be were they not facing this war. If there was no Voldemort
and no Potter, how would life be for him and Draco? He pictured a
friendship more than a love affair, but he did think that perhaps he
would have been Draco's first. Been a caring mentor to him, who
taught him the ways of the world and the ways of love as part of his
education, much like in the classical age. He pictured Draco as a
protégée and friend. He wished that this was how things were in
reality. He liked Draco's company and genuinely wanted Draco to be
happy.
'I am quite alright, Draco. Don't worry about me.' He replied, flattered
by Draco's concern.
Draco was relieved he had been satisfied by this answer and hoped
he could go now. Whatever was going on here with Snape, he had to
stick to his mission.
'I want to go and see Pansy and Blaise.' He smiled convincingly. 'I
haven't seen them for 2 weeks.'
Draco thought this was odd, but he smiled and hid his feelings well,
leaving the room with a caring lingering glance back at his professor.
No. Why would he? Draco reasoned. Dumbledore was gone, what
would be the point? And these concerns must not detract from the
real reason he had come here after all. The horcrux. That was what
mattered now. It was part of Voldemort. It was the most important
thing in the world.
She gave a startled cry when she saw him and Draco noticed she
looked a little flushed. He also noticed the door of the room which
she had just stepped out of. 'Professor Amycus Carrow.' He had
no time to respond to this, but without thinking about it he
instinctively filed the knowledge away for later.
'Draco!' She gasped, and hugged him affectionately. 'I didn't know
you were back. When did you…'
She read the urgency of the situation from his voice and leant in
close to answer.
'Come with me.' Draco answered and took hold of her hand and
began to run again.
She ran with him, keeping up easily, sporty and agile as she was,
her thick, black ponytail swishing as she ran.
The door appeared for them and they ran inside. Draco had been
sure to visualise very clearly that they needed not to be disturbed, as
he had done when he was fixing the cabinet. The room, as always,
responded well to him.
Once safely inside they stopped running and had the chance to
catch their breath. Draco let go of Pansy's hand after holding it a little
longer than was necessary because it was comforting.
Pansy turned to face Draco. Her sweater was on inside out. Draco
wished for a moment that he was a normal boy with a normal life so
that he could have teased her and quizzed her about just how such a
thing could have come about… But there was no time for simple
pleasures like that.
'What's the matter Draco? What do you need me to do?' She asked
wholeheartedly.
'Look, Pansy…' He began. 'I can't tell you everything now, but that's
because there's no time. I will tell you everything as soon as I can,
but now, I just need your help. Ok?'
'I need you to help me find something that is hidden in this room.'
Draco told her. 'It's really, really important that we find it tonight.'
'Ok.' She said again, understanding the task. 'What are we looking
for?'
'A piece of Jewellery.' Draco told her. 'A tiara, to be precise. It's very
valuable, priceless in fact.'
Draco knew that. If there was anyone who could root out a piece of
priceless jewellery from a room full of chaos, it would be Pansy. Or
Narcissa perhaps.
'I've never seen it, but it looks like this.' Draco said, producing a
scrap of parchment from his pocket where Voldemort had sketched
the diadem for reference to help Draco find it.
Pansy studied it. It was fortunate that in all of her new found
studying, she had taken no particular interest in history of magic, she
did not recognise the diadem and had no idea just who it had
belonged to.
'OK.' She said calmly. 'So, it's in this room, for definite?'
'Right then.' She asserted. 'You start over there and I will start here.
We will search this line of furniture and when we meet in the middle
we will move across and begin again. Ok?' She was very
methodical.
'Potter is looking for it.' Draco answered. 'It's a very powerful magical
object, it's important. Potter wants to destroy it and we need to make
sure he can't.'
' He told you to find it, didn't he? Your lover?' She asked.
Draco nodded, wondering how much he could get away with saying.
'He told me it was here.' Draco answered. 'He told me where it was, I
suggested that I would get it for him. He really needs it if he is going
to be able to defeat Pott…' Draco stopped suddenly. He had said too
much.
Draco stopped still too and stared back at her. He longed to tell
someone! In two and a half years, he had never actually told
anyone. He had never been able to say the words, to tell his news.
He had never been able to talk about it when he was frightened and
anxious, or to share his feelings when he was deliriously happy and
in love.
'I really, really can't tell you that, Pansy.' He whispered, his words full
of regret. 'I know you've been worried about it, and I don't think
telling you would bring you any comfort… If you would even believe
me at all…'
He stopped talking. He had probably told her in a roundabout way
with that convoluted reply. She looked as though she were reaching
the frightening conclusion what was, in fact, the correct one.
Her eyes wide with horror, she shook her head slowly.
'Don't!' He pleaded. 'Please, just help me. I will tell you everything as
soon as I can.'
Pansy stood still for a moment, considering the information she had.
She moved over to the next part of the room and Draco felt an odd
sensation as she brushed passed a small table. It was as though
something in the room had been woken up by her movement. Now
he could feel it, could feel Voldemort close by!
The Diadem glistened like it had been polished only that day, it was
beautiful, exquisite, stunning.
Draco was right at her side instantly. He had felt it the moment the
box was opened. It had felt like Voldemort was calling his name and
his whole body was tingling with delight.
'Oh thank the Gods!' Draco gasped. 'Thank you Pansy, thank you!'
He flung his arms around her.
'It's really beautiful.' She said, picking it up gently and raising it to her
forehead without thinking.
It was simply a childish gesture. She just wanted to try on the pretty
jewel, but the second she did, she swooned and cried out in pain. It
felt like needles had stuck into her head, and a hard, hissing voice
tore through her brain speaking words in a language she couldn't
understand.
'It's magical! I told you!' He said, supporting her but making sure she
made no further contact with the diadem, which had no negative
effects on him. 'Are you alright?'
She nodded. She had foolishly forgotten that it was a magical object.
She should have known better. It was pretty, that was all. Recovering
she asked,
'What do we do now?'
'I'll do it, Dray.' She insisted. 'I'm better at transfiguration than you,
the amount of school you have missed this year! I'm guessing this
fake has to last until Potter finds it, yes?'
'Now I have to take this one and put it somewhere safe.' Draco
replied as they hurried to the door and let themselves out. Draco
carried the diadem concealed under his clothing, close to his heart.
'Right.' Said Pansy. 'You have to leave Hogwarts again for that, I
assume?'
'I just want you to be ok.' She whispered. Draco realised that maybe
she was frightened that there may have been consequences for him
if the diadem was not found.
'He's going to be really pleased that we found it, you know. I think he
thought I might not be able to find it. Like I said, it was me who
suggested I look for it, not him. He will be really glad about this!'
Draco exclaimed, and then paused.
She was one of his oldest friends, they had known each other for
years, they had played together as children. She was one of the few
approved friends his parents permitted him to socialise with, but had
been keen to distance them as they got older. Lucius and Narcissa
had harboured more ambitious marriage aspirations for their son
than Pansy Parkinson. However, she had remained close to him and
even though they had been somewhat distant from one another in
recent years, it still felt like only yesterday that they had been
inseparable. Draco longed to be able to properly confide in her.
'I want to tell you everything, Pansy.' He blurted out suddenly. 'I really
want to talk to you, to tell you all about everything that's been
happening… And to hear everything that you have been up to!' He
added with a smile.
'I want to tell you!' She replied enthusiastically. 'Although I fear that
my escapades may be nothing in comparison to yours, Dray!' She
said, her tone serious once more.
It was Draco's turn to blush, and then his eyes filled up with tears.
Pansy was upon him right away, hugging him tightly, cupping the
back of his head in an almost motherly fashion.
'When all this is over.' She repeated calmly. 'It will be over, Dray. It
will be alright.' She wasn't sure of this, but reassuring Draco was her
priority. 'When all this is over, we'll talk properly. We'll catch up.' She
paused and smiled. 'We'll do lunch.'
Draco stepped back and smiled at her. She had always been strong
like this and he had always loved her for it.
'OK.' He said, a strange sort of manic happiness creeping over him.
'Maybe we could double date.' He grinned as Pansy's jaw dropped.
'Huh… yeah… OK.' She half laughed. 'That sounds fun!' She gave a
terrified and disbelieving smile, which Draco returned, echoing her
emotions exactly.
'I have to go.' He whispered and he flung his arms around her one
last time. 'Thank you!' He said again.
He ran as fast as he could, not quite sure exactly what would await
him when he got there.
Chapter 61
Draco burst into Snape's office without knocking. He was flushed
from running but hoped that he could simply make it to the fire place
and get away without any interaction with Snape at all. He felt that
he needed a bit longer to think about what might be going on with
Snape before he decided how to approach the situation.
However it seemed that Snape had been waiting for him. Draco
dashed into the back room and Snape rose from his chair. He stood,
his body language challenging and confrontational. He stood directly
in front of the fire place, blocking Draco's exit route!
Draco took a step backwards and pulled out his wand, well,
Voldemort's old white wand, as was his wand of choice these days.
He raised it in a defensive stance rather than an attacking one.
'What have you got there, Draco?' Snape asked, his voice cold but
entirely devoid of his usual confidence.
'I can't let you leave, Draco. I can't let you take it.' Snape said
numbly.
'That's not an answer!' Draco cried, angry and hurt and frightened all
at once. 'You won't let me leave, you could at least tell me why!'
'Why are you doing this, Severus?' Draco said softly, his voice
shaking. 'Why are you betraying me, after everything we've been
through?'
Snape slouched like he had just been hit in the stomach, like the
question had knocked all the air out of him. He gasped and
swallowed hard before he answered.
'Is it?' Asked Draco. 'It doesn't feel complicated to me. I need to get
to Voldemort to protect him and you are stopping me. You are one of
his closest people, he trusts you.' Draco said.
'We are all his puppets, Draco!' Snape cried. 'Do you really think he
will value you once he has risen to power? Don't you think he will
discard you once you have served your purpose?'
'No.' Answered Draco clearly. 'Maybe I thought that once, but now I
know better. Don't you want him to succeed, Severus?' Draco felt so
confused by Snape's behaviour.
'I did once.' Snape replied, turning away from Draco, unable to look
at him, but still blocking the exit.
'Well tell me then.' Draco insisted. 'If you plan to stop me, the very
least you can do is tell me why.'
'He killed someone I loved.' Snape said coldly, still not looking at
Draco.
In light of having just spent time with Pansy, this image conjured
evocative feelings for Draco. If someone had killed Pansy, Draco
would be devastated!
'Lily Evans.' Snape replied. Speaking her name out loud after all this
time still felt strange.
'Yes.' Snape answered almost inaudibly. 'I loved her, but she didn't
love me. I signed up with the death eaters, but when I learned that
she was marked for death, I went to Dumbledore for help.'
'And did he help?' Draco asked. 'She still died, didn't she.'
'I have tried to honour her memory by protecting her son.' Snape
answered stiffly.
'Protecting Potter?' Draco gasped, confused and offended by the
very suggestion. 'He's not just her son you know! He is James
Potters son as well, Severus! How exactly have you protected him?'
'Dumbledore said I should remain in the Dark Lord's service and act
as a spy for the Order.' Snape confessed. 'He said that way I would
protect Lily's son. That I would show my love for her.'
'You did it though, didn't you? You gave information to the order?'
Draco hissed, his anger beginning to rise and his sympathy
beginning to fall.
'I killed him because I didn't want you to do it.' Snape said, turning to
face Draco once more. 'Dumbledore suspected you would try to kill
him. He knew about you and the Dark Lord. He was going to die
anyway and so it made very little difference to him who did it.' Snape
stopped.
'I have killed before, Draco. I don't think you are a killer, I don't want
you to become one. I was horrified when I found out what the Dark
Lord was doing to you, Draco, really horrified. You were so young,
you didn't deserve to have to cope with that. Now he has you
working for him too… I just wish I could have helped you.'
'Even then, I can leave if I want to. I told you, I know what I'm doing. I
know my own mind, no one is forcing me to do anything. What about
you, Severus? Can you say the same?'
'You must have joined the death eaters for a reason?' Draco
prompted. 'You must have believe in it once?'
'My father was a muggle.' Snape confessed. 'He beat my mother and
me, all the time. He hated us because we had powers he didn't
have. But even with those powers we never turned on him, we just
took beating after beating from him.' Snapes eyes narrowed with
anger.
'Gods, Severus!' Draco exclaimed. 'Then you know, right? You know
what muggles are? They are animals, worse than animals!'
'I believe your father has behaved similarly, and your family have
been pure blood since 1668.' Snape replied.
Snape sighed.
'We are not talking about me, though.' Draco asserted. 'We are
talking about your muggle father beating you and your mother
because he was scared of you both.'
'He left us in the end.' Snape confided. 'It was that that broke my
mother's heart. She loved him. For some reason. She loved him
even though he didn't love her.'
'Like you love a woman who didn't love you and married someone
you hated?' He asked.
'I'm sure she didn't.' Draco said diplomatically. 'But you and I both
know that these things will keep on happening until the muggle issue
is bought under control. The world needs a leader who is prepared to
take the necessary action. Voldemort's regime is the way forward. I
think you know that.' Draco paused. 'That's what I believe anyway. I
love him, Severus and I will do anything I can to help him succeed.'
Snape took a moment to think about this. He remained silent.
'It seems to me like Dumbledore used you. He didn't help you really,
and then he used you. Maybe Voldemort has done too, I don't know.'
Draco whispered gently. He stepped towards Snape and lightly
touched his arm. 'What is it that you want, Severus? Who is it that
you want to be loyal to?'
'And mine lie with you.' Snape confirmed. 'It may be wrong in light of
all that has happened between us, but you are the closest thing I
have ever had to a friend, the closest thing I have ever had to a son.
And you may be the only person I know of who is acting with true
integrity to themselves in all of this horrible mess…' He paused and
Draco looked at him searchingly.
'Of course I can.' Draco gasped. 'You saved my life, you have always
been there for me. We are friends already. I hope we always will be.'
'Yes.' Snape confessed. 'Go. Do what you need to do. I will tell no
one that I have seen you.'
'Potter is coming.' Draco warned. 'He's coming here. It's going to
happen, Severus. Stay safe.'
Draco nodded and vanished at last into the fire place like a thief in
the night.
Chapter 62
Draco apparated from the fire place at the manor directly to his own
room. He needed to be alone. His heart was racing and his blood
pumping round his body, fuelled with adrenalin, powered by just
about every emotion he could name.
Would Snape tell anyone that Draco had taken something though?
Snape probably knew what it was that he had taken too… But he
had betrayed the Order in a big way by letting Draco take it. He had
not even attempted to ask Draco where he was going with it. He had
probably assumed that Draco had bigger and better plans about
hiding it somewhere than he actually did. He had no plans
whatsoever!
What could he do with it? Draco suddenly felt incredibly stupid. What
on earth had he ever thought he was going to be able to do with it? It
was an ancient and enormously valuable magical artefact which just
so happened to also contain a fragment of the soul of the most
powerful dark wizard who ever lived. Draco felt a little out of his
depth. He was just a 17 year old schoolboy, a silly kid who had no
idea what to do with the responsibility he found himself facing.
It had been easier, years ago to slip under the bed. Now that he was
nearly 18, it was a lot more difficult to fit and he had to lay down flat
and wriggle under on his stomach. Once underneath however, there
was a little more space and he easily located the lose floorboard and
prised it up with his fingers.
The gap beneath the floorboard was dusty, very dusty, and dark too.
Draco conjured the faintest lumos charm to allow him to see into the
space before he put his hand inside, in case there was a spider
down there. It was safe however and he reaching in and over to the
right, his fingers finding the old tin box and gripping it tightly.
He pulled it out of the hole and placed it before him. It was years
since he had looked in here! He felt all of his childhood nerves return
as he began to open it, remembering that all of his naughtiest
secrets were contained within.
Lifting the lid, Draco felt a surge of adrenalin as he cast his eyes
over the illicit objects that were hidden inside.
There was a little black toy car, he didn't know what type it was, cars
were muggle things, not for the likes of him! That had been the
appeal of it really, that, and it was black and sleek and shiny. Draco
had stolen it from a muggle toy shop when they had been on holiday
when he was six. He had not been proficient in magic back then and
had stolen in the muggle way, cupping it in his hand and slowly
sneaking it into his coat pocket. He remembered the thrill, the
excitement and the gratifying feeling of having managed to get this
lovely object to safety. He would look after it now, he would keep it
safe.
There was a strange muggle toy he had stolen from a boy he had
met one summer, when he was about nine years old. It was a grey
rectangular box with a greenish square and some buttons on it. The
boy he stole it from was regularly engrossed by it, staring at the
square and pressing the buttons frantically. Draco remembered that
when he first took it, the green square had little markings that moved
and did different things when he pressed the various buttons, but by
the time he had figured out how to control it, it had stopped working
all together. As Draco had no idea what sorcery had powered it in
the first place, he was never able to make it work again. He kept it
anyway.
There was a dark green ribbon tied in a bow which was attached to a
hair clip. This had been Pansy's. Draco had stolen this when he was
7 because he liked to clip it into his own hair sometimes. It looked
nicer on his white hair than it did on Pansy's black hair anyway.
Draco blushed a little as he thought back, realising what a little
kleptomaniac he had been.
He began to undress and he threw back the covers on his own little
bed. Folded up on the clean crisp sheets were his pyjamas, ready
and waiting for him. Draco couldn't remember the last time he had
actually bothered to wear pyjamas. He slept, these days in his
underwear, or naked, which he knew his mother would consider
slatternly and inappropriate. Tonight he put on his pyjamas. He went
down stairs and bid his parents good night, careful not to stay long
enough to give them the chance to ask him any questions. He crept
upstairs and slipped between the sheets, snuggling down under his
blankets as if he were just any other normal 17 year old boy with a
packet of cigarettes and a piece of the Dark Lord's soul hidden under
his bed.
Snape was true to his word. He mentioned to no one that Draco had
visited the castle that night. When Dumbledore's portrait returned to
talk to him, to inform him that Harry was on his way to Hogwarts to
search for a horcrux, Snape received the information as if he had no
prior knowledge of it. He listened to another dogmatic speech about
helping Potter, about the boy who lived… About how Potter's
heroism and love would be what saved the day…
Snape found his own heart aligning even more to the icy blond rich
boy anti-hero, who's capacity to love, even in the darkest of places,
outstripped that of anyone he knew. Draco may not have lost his
parents and he certainly grew up with every material luxury, but all
his life he had been belittled and chastised. When he came to
Hogwarts he, and everyone else, lived in the shadow of the great
Potter. Nothing Draco could have done would have ever meant that
he came top of the class or that Slytherin won the house cup. Draco
was not able to shine at school and this in turn earned him contempt
at home. Potter was the star and the beacon for friendship and love.
Yet it was Draco, Snape thought, who had done the impossible. He
loved the unlovable and earned love in return from someone who the
whole world considered 'could not love'. The Dark Lord 'loved' Draco
Malfoy, to the extent that he extended benevolence to others where
it would please Draco.
The death eaters were quick enough to spread gossip, and Snape
had heard about the revelations of the ownership of the Elder wand.
He knew Draco had effectively saved his life because he loved him
as a friend, and Voldemort loved Draco enough to have listened to
him.
Potter was hope for those who saw black and white, good and evil.
He was hope for the bull headed Griffindors who liked their heroes
and villains to pick a sides and stay there. Brave heroes who
vanquished their enemies and won the battle in a blaze of glory.
Those with courage and confidence.
Draco was hope for those who were frightened and confused. Those
for whom good and evil had never been so clear cut and black and
white. He was a hero for those who sometimes did not feel brave
and certainly weren't confident. Draco stood for those who struggled
to know exactly what love should actually look like, but who used
their brains and followed their bruised hearts down dangerous paths.
Those who, in the end had learned enough to know that they stood
for something real. They stood for the love they had found in the
dark places they had strayed into, and were prepared to stand by it
even if it didn't look like the love they had read about in fairy tales.
Snape knew who he supported. He knew who he could relate to.
Pansy had really wanted Draco to come back than night, but wasn't
overly surprised when he didn't. She had changed into her
nightclothes, wrapped a dressing gown tightly around her and crept
into the boys dormitory hoping to see him.
It was late and everyone was asleep, which was fortunate as she
was not in the mood for cat calls or innuendos from Crabbe or Goyle.
They were only ever playful and usually she laughed along with
them, giving as good as she got, if not better, as she was smarter
than both of them put together. Tonight, she was not in a jovial mood
though and thought she would probably just hex anyone who spoke
to her.
She sat on Draco's bed and worried about him. By midnight she
reached the conclusion that he definitely wasn't coming back that
night. She pulled the curtains around the bed. Where was he? Had
he gone to his lover, had he gone to 'him'? What was it like for him,
she wondered. Did he talk to him? Did they lay in bad afterwards and
talk about nonsense, like other people do? How had it come about?
Was Draco happy? He said he was.
She wished he was here to talk to her, to tell her all about it. They
could hide under the blankets with cookies and whisper their secrets,
just like they had done when they were children. Pansy missed those
days. A feisty, independent creature, she seemed to have been born
wanting to be a grown up, she was not usually one for looking back
wistfully at her childhood. But with war looming, her best friend very
much caught up and in the firing line, she felt an odd longing for
simpler times. When secrets were about less scary things like
stealing a cake that was meant for guests that evening, or having
peeked in at your older cousin with his girlfriend…
At 1.30 she felt so tired she slipped beneath the covers and pulled
them tightly around herself, deciding to sleep here. It would freak the
boys out in the morning, but it was worth staying in the remote hope
that Draco would come back in the small hours. He didn't of course,
and Pansy awoke before anyone else and slipped back to her own
dormitory.
Chapter 63
Draco slept late the next morning, much later than he had hoped to.
It was 11.30 before he woke. He was instantly angry with himself
when he saw the time. He dressed hurriedly and ran downstairs.
Lucius and Narcissa were in the drawing room and they hurried out
to meet him.
'Potter is going to Hogwarts.' Draco told them directly. 'He may even
get there today. There is going to be a battle. Voldemort will need to
begin to rally his followers. You will need to be ready.'
Both his parents jumped when he used the Dark Lord's name so
freely, but Narcissa also noticed that Draco trembled slightly as he
had said 'You will need to be ready.'
'The Dark Lord's following is extensive. Potter and his friends will be
grossly outnumbered.'
Draco was unsure whether his father was saying this simply to make
him feel happier or whether he really knew this to be true.
'Draco, does the Dark Lord intend you to fight for him?' Lucius asked
nervously, unsure how to ask, if he should ask and if Draco would
even know the answer.
'No I don't.' Draco answered flatly and both of his parents looked
shocked as they realised that Draco did not, and possibly never did,
follow orders from the Dark Lord.
'Draco, please, don't fight if you don't have to!' Narcissa pleaded and
Lucius nodded in agreement.
With a deep sigh Draco looked at both of them. He would have to tell
them exactly what he planned to tell Voldemort if he decided to be
difficult too.
'I love him.' Draco said coolly and calmly, aware that hearing this
might shock his parents. 'I love him very much and I am going to be
by his side. If one of you were fighting a battle, I'm sure the other
would insist on being there…?' Draco posed the concept.
'We will all be there.' Draco said confidently. 'I am scared, I'm really
scared, but we are all in this together, the whole family. We stand
together.'
Draco didn't know which one of them instigated it, but they all pulled
together into a sort of group hug. He buried his face between his
mother and father, feeling oddly childlike for someone who had just
insisted that he be allowed to fight in a war and confessed to loving
an older man. Narcissa hugged her precious son and thought just
how much he had grown up, and how it had happened in all of the
wrong ways. Yet here he was, just as lovely as he had been as a
little child, and it was him who was uniting them as a family. Lucius
held on to his two most precious people in the world and wished to
the Gods that he had been able to protect them from danger.
This surreal hug seemed to last forever. None of them were sure if
they wanted it to end, as none of them could be sure when, or if, this
chance would come again.
Draco came to the house via the port key. This way he knew that
Voldemort was alone before he got there. He needed to see him
alone. Part of him was wishing that he had gone there the night
before. If the battle came today, who knew what would happen? Who
knew when they would get the chance to be together again…? It
didn't bare thinking about.
They stood opposite one another, beside the bed, both a little unsure
of what to say. And so in the absence of words they began to
undress one another.
It was slow and gentle. It was passionate and all consuming. They
both threw all of their deepest love and desire for one another into
this union, both too scared to admit they were afraid that this might
be the last time.
Voldemort sighed.
'I'm sorry, you know. About the first time.' He paused. 'I was so rough
with you.'
'I know.' He admitted. 'But the first time, I should have been more
gentle.'
'I seem to remember you took good care of me.' Draco replied.
'I frightened you though.' Voldemort said. 'It should never have been
like that. Not the first time.'
'I still wanted you though!' Draco assured. 'I was bound to be scared,
it was my first time… You were frightening. You were frighteningly
good!' Draco said with a playful smile.
'I remember the time in the shrieking shack too!' Said Draco with a
grin.
'So do I!' Voldemort said. 'I remember you got ridiculously drunk!'
'I might have been a little bit tipsy, yes…' Draco laughed. 'I wasn't a
great drinker back then though. I was only 15.'
'You were only 15?' Voldemort echoed, a little horrified. 'How old are
you now, Draco? Why had he never asked Draco this before? Why
hadn't he realised that Draco was only 15? He must have known
this… Yes… Draco had told him once. He hadn't even thought about
it at the time, but now, all of a sudden it seemed obscene.
'I'm 17 now.' Draco answered him. 'I'll be 18 in a month. How old are
you?' Draco asked.
Draco laughed playfully and climbed on top of his lover and began to
kiss his neck.
'Really, really old, you say?' He teased, caressing him, his kisses
becoming deeper. Voldemort held onto his slender hips and Draco
ground himself against him.
'Yes. I'm afraid so.' Voldemort breathed as Draco poured over him,
lustfully. However self conscious Voldemort felt, he was also feeling
aroused once more by Draco's adorations.
'Well…' Said Draco with a sultry smile. '71? I'm quite impressed!'
'Sure.' Draco drawled. 'There can't be many 71 year olds with such
impressive… stamina!' He glanced down at Voldemort's cock which
was half hard again.
Voldemort smiled. Of course Draco didn't mind about things like age.
Of course it didn't matter. If you looked at it on paper it might matter,
but somehow, when it was the two of them, it just didn't even factor
at all.
'Take me in the shower?' Draco asked. 'We did that the first time I
was here too.'
'No, Draco, listen.' He continued. 'If it all goes wrong out there. If I
die…'
Draco sobbed and flinched visibly but tried his best to control himself
and keep listening.
'If that happens and they arrest you, tell them I forced you. Tell them
you had no choice, that I made you do everything against your will.
You were so young, they would believe you.'
'I don't want you to spend your life in Azkaban should the worst
happen, my love.' Voldemort said softly. 'You are good at
Occulmency, you could convince them. You could have a normal
life.'
'I don't want a normal life.' Draco replied, his voice ringing with the
same calm insistence that had been there when he spoke to his
parents that morning. 'I don't want any life without you in it. Don't you
understand? If something happens to you, I don't care what happens
to me.'
'Well you will just have to stay here and wait for me to come back
victorious.' Voldemort said.
'When are you going to realise that I'm not going to let you do this
alone?' Draco asked calmly. 'My family and I will be there. You
cannot make me stay away. I will be there for you. I support you. I
believe in you. I love you.'
He could have insisted that Draco stayed away, could have told him
he didn't want to be worrying about his safety when he needed to
focus on the battle. He could have pointed out that he had more than
enough followers, more than enough experienced fighters to support
him… But deep down, in a selfish place, Voldemort was glad that
Draco would be there for him. Even if the worst happened. If he died,
it would be Draco's face he would look for in the crowd as his vision
faded…
There was a loud knocking at the great old doors of the house. The
death eaters were arriving.
'Go to your parents, love.' Voldemort said to Draco. 'I'll see you
when…'
'Yes.' He whispered.
Draco wanted to be brave. He did not want to say it, it was selfish of
him, but the words spilled from his lips before he could stop them…
'Ha! They are still no match for all of us!' Bellatrix cried triumphantly
and many of the crowd that had assembled on the hillside cheered in
agreement.
Draco watched as the people inside Hogwarts cast spells to ward the
castle from attack. It looked oddly beautiful, he thought, as the spells
joined together. Iridescent ribbons of magic connecting in the air,
making a net of light. It wasn't beautiful though, he reminded himself.
It was a sign of all the stupid and misguided people who were
prepared to protect Potter. Draco scowled and pushed the 'beautiful'
thoughts from his mind.
Inside the castle the students and the staff had heard the voice of
the Dark Lord proposing a deal…
Pansy recognised the voice straight away. It was the voice she had
heard when she had held the diadem to her head. Only now it was
speaking words she could understand. This was him. This was the
voice of the Dark Lord. The most powerful dark wizard who ever
lived. Draco's lover. At that very moment, her best friend Draco
would be poised ready to risk his life and fight if he had to. And all
because of one insignificant individual. So many lives could be
spared if it wasn't Potter…
'Hand him over!' She pleaded. Could no one else see that this made
sense? Surely they would see that it was ridiculous to risk
everyone's lives just to protect Potter? Why could no one else see
this?
All her suggestion earned her was the threat of being locked in the
dungeons. She felt sick. She did not want to fight, not really,
although she was argumentative, she was not a fighter in this sense.
She did not want Draco to have to fight either. She certainly did not
want the Dark Lord to think that protecting Potter had been a
unanimous decision!
Voldemort thought it had been rather too much to hope for, that
Potter would be handed over just like that. It had been worth a try. If
nothing else Potter might have been noble and handed himself over
to protect his friends.
'He still thinks the horcrux is at Hogwarts. He will look for it before he
comes to face you, I expect.'
This was the first time Draco had mentioned the horcrux since the
previous evening when he went to Hogwarts to search for it.
Voldemort had not asked him as the whole point was that he didn't
know where it was, so that Potter couldn't read his mind to find it. But
Draco's words had confirmed that it was no longer there. Potter was
on a wild goose chase, he was looking for something that was not
there. Now was the time to strike.
Jet after jet of light shot from the wands of the death eaters and flew
like fireworks towards the shield around the castle. There were so
many of them, it was really only a matter of time before they broke
through.
Once the shield fell, they rushed forward. They were fairly well
coordinated, having good knowledge of the site and a pre arranged
plan. Some apparated in, some ran in, via the various entrances. It
was assumed that the enemy might attempt to destroy the bridge, as
a defence tactic. All it would do in the long run was cut off the
escape route for the children who could not yet apparate.
Voldemort had been correct, Draco's parents had not been keen to
rush forward. They had approached the castle hesitantly. Draco, at
their side, felt confused and frightened by the crowds of people
rushing all around him. He found it difficult to follow exactly what was
happening. It was like the night that Dumbledore had been killed
when the death eaters attacked the castle, only worse. Spells were
flying everywhere and Draco worried that he couldn't even think fast
enough to keep up.
Maybe he should have stayed behind? Maybe he really was no good
for this sort of thing? Perhaps he was a liability? Was there anything
he could do to actually help?
Yes! That is how he could help. He would recover his wand and
them Potter would have to use someone else's. A different wand,
one he was not used to, would at least put him at a greater
disadvantage.
But Draco had been told to stay with his parents… He knew he
should not face up to Potter alone, but he mother and father certainly
didn't fight enthusiastically… Perhaps there was a compromise? He
could find some back up. He would not face Potter alone. He would
take people with him, but not his parents. That way, he was not
going off into the battle on his own, but he wasn't stuck with his
parents, who may support the Dark Lord, but who lacked the passion
and commitment that other people had!
Students were running, screaming, everywhere… At last he saw
them! Pansy and Blaise! Pansy shrieked when she caught sight of
him and they ran over. Draco grabbed hold of both of them and
apparated with them to the 4th floor corridor.
'Of course we will!' It was Blaise who replied. 'What do you need,
man?'
'Potter stole my wand.' Draco replied. 'I want to get it back from him.'
'Sure, OK.' Said Blaise. 'We'll sort him out!' He patted Draco
affectionately on the shoulder, which prompted Draco to pull him into
a proper hug. It was a long time since they had seen each other.
'What?' She snapped. 'I didn't say anything! Just that the person you
are seeing is pretty powerful and high up!'
'Yeah. She wouldn't name names.' Blaise confirmed. 'But I don't want
to be crucioed for being caught in some kind of passionate embrace
with you… No offence!'
With that they ran to the door of the room of requirement. Draco
concentrated hard… 'Door… don't appear. We need to come in, but
not until Potter is in…'
They hid in an alcove and waited, barely daring to breathe too loudly,
never mind talk.
After a short time a familiar, scruffy figure was seen running down
the corridor, with a familiar wand in his hand. Even though the
corridor was not well lit, it was clear that this figure was Potter. The
door began to appear and Potter disappeared inside.
'Come on!' Pansy whispered and the three of them followed Potter
into the room.
Pansy was delighted to see that he had the fake diadem in his hand,
and had a look on his face like he thought he had succeeded at
something. She and Blaise stood slightly in front of Draco, wanting to
protect him. Potter had attacked Draco in the past and nearly killed
him, he clearly hated Draco the most!
Harry spun round on hearing other people enter the room. His heart
pounded inside his chest, because, there was Draco! Right in front of
him!
'That's my wand you're holding Potter!' Draco said crossly,
impressed he was able to speak at all with all the adrenalin rushing
through his body.
There were so many thing Harry wanted to say. If only Draco was
alone and not with these others! Then he could say them, he could
say them all! As it was he settled for:
'Why didn't you tell them?' His voice, he thought, sounded thin and
raspy. Why couldn't it just sound nice and normal in front of Draco,
just this once?
'At the manor, you knew it was me. Why didn't you tell them?'
'What's wrong with the one you have?' Harry asked, trying to get a
good look at it. It was white, that was all he could see.
'It's my mother's.' Draco lied. 'It's powerful, but it's not the same. It
doesn't quite understand me.'
If Potter was ever going to give any kind of sensible answer, it was
drowned out by the arrival of Weasley and the mudblood, who burst
noisily into the room.
Hermione's disarming spell hit Pansy and her wand flew from her
hand. It was this which earned the misguided retaliation from Blaise.
Furious that a mudblood had attacked and disarmed his friend, he
shot a powerful Fiendfire curse at them, his anger almost out of
control.
Had Draco, or Pansy, realised just what spell he was going to cast,
they would have tried to stop him, but it was too late. Suddenly the
room around them was alight. So many things in the room of
requirement were made of wood, and the flames spread quickly and
uncontrollably. Blaise was instantly horrified at what he had done.
The way back to the door was blocked. There was no other option.
They could either burn to death immediately or climb the precarious
tower of furniture and try to find another way out. Potter was
nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he had escaped? Either way, they
were on their own now. There was no way Potter and his friends
would help them.
They began to climb. The heat was becoming unbearable and the air
was thick with black smoke which made it hard to see and almost
impossible to breathe. The problem was that the smoke got thicker
the further up they climbed to avoid the flames which continued to
leap higher and higher. The pain all over, the loss of vision, the
choking sensation all combined to remind Draco of the powerful
Cruciatus curse he had once endured. He had almost died then. He
was determined not to die now! But as each second passed death
seemed more and more likely. If they could only get to the top and
somehow draw a deep enough breath to give them the power to
apparate out!
Over the crackling and searing noise of the flames, Draco heard a
scream. He felt the pile of furniture shift as one of the three of them
lost their grip and… Fell… fell to their death in the pit of flames.
He didn't want to look back. He didn't want to see who it was who
had fallen. Perhaps it would make very little difference anyway. It
would simple be a case of which one fell first, as it seemed unlikely
that any of them would survive.
Ron and Harry crash landed in the hallway and Hermione cast a
spell to close the doors as the Fiendfire roared up inside. Ron
pushed Pansy away from him the minute they landed and Draco had
only a second to wonder why the hell Potter had come back for them
before he took stock of the situation and realised what had just
happened.
Pansy began to sob, but no one took any notice. Weasley and the
mudblood shouted something to Potter about the chamber of secrets
and rushed off, leaving the crying Pansy and the shell shocked
Draco alone with Potter in the deserted corridor.
Potter should not have done it. Pansy was wandless. She was
crying. She was sitting on the floor, crying into her hands, shaking
with grief. He should not have curse her, but he did. He hit her with a
powerful body-bind curse because this would mean she would not
be able to follow them.
He grabbed hold of Draco's arm and pointed his wand at his throat.
Without a word, he dragged him down the corridor to a small
deserted office and pushed him inside. Now was his chance!
Chapter 65
What the fuck was Potter doing? Draco panicked. Did he somehow
know that Draco had taken the horcrux? Was he going to try to
torture him for information about where it was? Or was he simply
going to kill him there and then, out of pure hatred? Draco scrabbled
for his wand, but Potter was too quick for him.
It was not a torture curse that hit Draco once they were inside this
deserted room, but some kind of freezing charm which rendered
Draco unable to move. He was not frozen rigid like Pansy had been,
but was limp and lifeless… and completely unable to defend himself
from whatever attack Potter had planned. He found he could still
speak though, which lead him to think it was information that Potter
was after. He vowed that, no matter what, he would not give him any!
'What the fuck are you playing at, Pott..' Draco began, but he could
not finished his sentence before Harry had pounced on him, pushed
him up against the wall, and pressed himself against him. For a split
second Draco thought he was going to strangle him, or beat him up
the good old fashioned muggle way, but suddenly Potter's hand was
cupping his face and his fingers slipping into his hair…
The second he opened his mouth, Harry kissed him. He clamped his
lips forcefully over Draco's, who could do nothing to fight him off.
Harry sucked hard on Draco's bottom lip. He kissed messily,
aggressively, his mouth seemed to be all over the lower half of
Draco's face. He plunged his tongue into Draco's mouth, thrusting in
as far as he could. As though maybe the lost horcrux was down
Draco's throat and he was trying to pull it out with his tongue.
Draco tried to scream. What was Potter doing? Was this some kind
of battle tactic? He was supposed to hit him! Draco would have
rather that he had hit him!
When at last the vile, wet assault desisted, Potter drew back and
looked at Draco, keeping his body tightly against him. He caressed
Draco's face, seemingly oblivious to the expression of total shock
and horror that Draco wore.
It was now that Draco's blood froze in his veins as the horrifying
realisation of what was happening, and what may be about to
happen, truly hit him. With what little movement he had, he shook his
head, his eyes full of tears.
'Don't cry, Draco!' Whispered Harry. 'Don't cry. You don't have to cry
anymore!' With that he latched his mouth back over Draco's mouth
and kissed him again with the same brute force and utter lack of
consideration.
'Sssssshhhh!' Harry whispered into his ear. 'It's alright. No one can
hear us! You don't have to pretend any more Draco. It's all going to
be alright. I love you, Draco. I really love you.'
Harry kissed him again. Draco really was an amazing kisser! He just
let you do whatever you wanted, just like in Harry's dreams. Harry
thrust his body against Draco, rubbing his crotch against him.
Draco sobbed, choking on his own tears and on Potter's kisses.
Draco hated the taste of him. It was like butterscotch, ham
sandwiches and immaturity. Draco felt nauseated by his warm,
fleshy wet lips sucking at his own so indiscriminately. Was he trying
to kiss him or wash him like an animal, or perhaps even eat him?
Was it possible to vomit whilst under an immobilising curse? It was
certainly possible to cry while under one!
'I'm going to kill him, Draco!' Harry announced when at last the kiss
had finished. Draco's eyes widened in horror.
Draco was not even crying any more, he was literally hysterical,
gasping for each breath he took, and still unable to move, simply
having to listen to everything Potter was saying.
Potter hugged him tightly, which made breathing even more difficult.
'It will all be ok from now on!' Harry promised. 'After today, it will just
be you and me. I will take you away from all of this, somewhere safe.
Somewhere where no one will find us…' Harry thrust up against
Draco again and Draco could feel a firmness in Harry's trousers. 'I'll
make you forget all about what he did to you. I'll make you forget him
and only remember me!' Harry hissed.
Harry's hand moved to his own crotch and then to Draco's. Draco
was not hard like he was. It must be because of the immobilising
spell. He cupped Draco's cock through his trousers and rubbed him
firmly without any real skill.
'You don't mean that!' Harry rasped, forcing his hand under Draco's
clothing. Draco's scream was smothered by another revolting kiss.
Harry's hand slipped into Draco's underwear and he began to fondle
his cock and his balls.
Draco could not move. He could not imagine anything in the world
worse than this. He had been tied up a couple of times and enjoyed
it, but he didn't think he would ever enjoy it again after this
experience. He could do nothing, nothing to stop this assault. Potter
was going to rape him and he couldn't even fight back. Draco
wanted to die. He would rather have died in the fire like Blaise had
done, than have this happen to him. He could never have seen this
coming, he would never have guessed. Whatever happened after
today, if he lived, Draco did not think he would ever want anyone to
touch him, ever again, he felt so disgusting.
Harry's other hand shot to his own crotch and he unfastened his
jeans. He took hold of his cock and pressed it against Draco and
began to tug.
'I love you baby. Oh Gods, I wanna fuck you so much! I think about
fucking you all the time! I've waited so long to be able to get you
alone! I know you want me too, I know you do. God's Draco, it's
gonna be so good!'
Crying wasn't enough. Vomiting wouldn't be enough. Nothing felt like
it would ever be enough to purge Draco of this feeling of violation.
Harry kicked Draco's legs apart and reached his had further between
them brushing his fingers over Draco's ass hole.
'Potter! Please! Don't!' Draco pleaded, his voice ringing with the
bitterest desperation.
'Don't fight it, Draco!' Harry hissed. 'I know you are in love with me.
Don't be frightened. It's going to be you and me from now on. I'll
show you. I'll show you right now how great it will be.'
Hearing his first name stopped Harry in his tracks and he looked at
Draco's flushed and tear stained face.
'Our first time… It… It was never meant to be like this.' Draco
whispered, almost choking on every word and hating himself more
and more with each one he spoke. But it was working.
Harry withdrew his hand from Draco's trousers, and rested it
affectionately on his shoulder instead.
'No.' Draco whispered. 'Not here. Not like this. You said you would
take me away from all this…'
'Yes!' Cried Harry, tears in his eyes now. 'Somewhere lovely, just the
two of us. That's how it's meant to be! We'll get a pretty little
cottage…'
Draco still couldn't move, although the spell was beginning to wear
off. He cried. He cried like a baby, the way Voldemort had done
when he lay in his arms. It felt horrible to Cry like that when you were
standing up and unable to move. Every instinct was to curl up in a
well protected ball in the corner of the room. Not being able to felt
dreadful. Draco felt so exposed, like he was being violated all over
again.
One of his best friends had just died, one of his oldest and most loyal
friends. It was his fault really, he asked for help and put them in
danger. Draco felt like such a failure. He hadn't even managed to get
the wand. He cried harder and harder. He cried for Blaise, he cried
for himself and the ordeal he had just suffered. He cried for
Voldemort, feeling that he had somehow betrayed him in making
those false statements to Potter, even if it had been what spared
him.
At last the immobilising spell began to weaken and his legs bent. He
sunk down lower and lower until his was curled up in the floor. He
was no longer crying. There were no tears left. Silently he tried to
collect his thoughts and decide what he should do. Maybe he could
formulate a plan before his movement returned.
He had to stop Potter from winning! Now more than ever. He had
assumed that Potter would have him killed or thrown into Azkaban,
but it seemed he was wrong. Either would have been preferable to
Draco than the reality that faced him. If Potter won, he intended to
take Draco as his spear-bride. Draco remembered this term from
reading classical mythology when he was young. When a hero was
victorious he took the spouse of his enemy as a sex slave. That's
what would happen to him. No one would stop Potter from doing it.
Potter had always got away with doing whatever he wanted. If he
won this war that would only get worse. Draco wondered if it was
possible to cast Avada Kedavera over yourself..? Draco flinched as
his body remembered Potters touch. Even if Draco were not deeply
in love with someone else, he could never, ever love Potter! He
could certainly not suffer a lifetime of those roving, grasping
inexperienced hands, and warm, sloppy, unskilled kisses. He
shuddered. He would die first! If Voldemort died, then he wanted to
as well.
Chapter 66
Voldemort's cold voice echoed through the castle…
'Too much magical blood had been spilled tonight. Potter has
allowed his friends to die for him, there is no honor in this. Bury you
dead with dignity. Potter must face me alone in the forest and no
longer hide behind others…'
The familiar sound of his voice gave new hope to Draco. Hearing the
voice of the one he loved, Draco felt as though perhaps he could
recover from the trauma he had just experienced at Potter's hands.
He longed to be with Voldemort, longed for his kisses and his touch.
Then he would feel alright again, he was almost sure of it.
Draco felt for Voldemort with his mind, reached out for him,
desperate to feel the connection between them. When they were
together they could feel each others thoughts sometimes, and
Voldemort clearly had more advanced powers in this area than
Draco knew about, as he could 'speak' to everyone in the castle this
way. If only he would reach out to him!
'You are distressed, love. I can feel your pain… What happened to
you…'
'I'm alright now I have heard you!' Was the sentence Draco formed
instinctively, and Voldemort received this message clearly.
'Stay where you are. I will see you soon. ' Was the response he
received.
The very thought of Potter had disturbed him all over again. If ever
Draco had hated Potter before, it paled into insignificance compared
with his feelings now. Hatred was not a strong enough word to
describe how Draco felt. Even after the septum sempra incident, he
had not wanted revenge on Potter quite as much as he did now. How
dare Potter do that to him? How dare he, the maladjusted pervert!
The time had come to end Potter and his reign of utter selfishness,
his delusions of being able to whatever he wanted to whoever he
wanted! Draco's anger rose.
With great difficulty, the figure raised it's head and Draco swore
again when he saw who it was.
'Pansy!' He cried.
Her face was tear stained. She tried to speak, but all that came was
a muffled whimper.
Draco gathered all of his own strength and dragged himself over to
her, pushing the door shut and then forcing his arm around her,
holding her as tightly as he could while they sat on the floor.
'Fuck! Pansy, are you alright?' Draco asked, aware that she probably
couldn't answer yet. She tried to nod, but then thought about her
answer and tried to shake her head instead.
When at last Pansy could speak she turned to Draco and looked at
him, her eyes full of concern.
'Are you alright Draco? What did he do to you? Did he hurt you?'
'Oh Gods!' She grasped Draco tightly to her, so grateful that some of
her strength had returned. She did not want to believe the conclusion
she had arrived at. 'Draco, did he rape you?' She asked. The words
almost made her sick.
'He didn't.' He said at last. 'He was going to. He assaulted me, I
guess, but he stopped.'
Pansy shook her head in disbelief. Not because she didn't believe
Draco but because she could not quite believe that even Potter could
behave so appallingly.
'I swear to the God's Draco, if the Dark Lord doesn't kill him, I'll kill
that son of a bitch myself!' She whispered venomously.
'Join the queue!' Draco whispered back, and Pansy felt glad that he
was able to be angry rather than just devastated. Being angry was
not a nice feeling, she knew, but it was slightly better than despair.
'Why did he stop?' She asked, and then realising she may be being
insensitive she added, 'You don't have to talk about it if you don't
want to.'
Draco sighed. It was better to talk about it, and better now than
leaving it and having to revisit it again later.
I don't honestly know.' He said. 'He was saying lots of weird stuff to
me. It… He… he wasn't doing it to hurt me… he kept saying…'
Draco stopped.
'He said he loves me.' Draco whispered and Pansy's eyebrows shot
up.
'That's how Gryffindors show people they love them, is it!' She spat.
'Holy fuck!' Pansy breathed. 'He's totally lost it. They should have
thrown him into Azkaban years ago! Or locked him up in St Mungos
or something! So what made him stop?'
Draco tensed. This was the worst bit. This was the part he didn't
want to talk about.
'I implied I did want him, that I would go away with him after the
war!' Draco sobbed. 'I made him think that I only asked him to stop
because I wanted it to happen somewhere nicer…' Draco dissolved
into tears again.
'It made him stop though, Dray. Thank the Gods! That's the
important thing. It doesn't matter what you had to say as long as he
stopped.'
She was right of course, stopping him was what mattered. But in
Draco's mind he had violated himself by saying what he had said.
Draco was not sure if that was better or worse than having Potter
violate him.
'I was so desperate to make him stop, Pansy! I couldn't bare him
touching me!' Draco wept.
'It must have been dreadful.' She soothed. 'You did the right thing by
lying to him Draco. Don't even think about that!'
'But I feel like I betrayed myself.' Draco said. 'Like I sold myself out. I
feel like I betrayed… Voldemort.' Draco buried his face on Pansy's
shoulder.
She had flinched at the name. Draco had never actually told her
outright who his lover was. This was not how she had wanted to find
out.
'He would be angry with Potter, not with me.' Draco confirmed
confidently. 'I think he would be glad I stopped him, however it
happened, whatever lies I had to tell. He wouldn't have wanted me to
go through that. He didn't even want me to come here today.'
'He knows you did come here though, right?' Pansy clarified.
'Hell, Dray, I hope to the Gods he wins! It's a better life for all of us if
he does. I can't imagine my life will be too peachy if Potter takes
over.'
Draco smiled. Hearing Pansy talk like this made him feel much less
alone.
'You got a future mapped out with a certain someone, Pans?' Draco
asked teasingly.
Pansy smiled now. It was lovely to see. She blushed too, even under
all the smoke marks.
'Well… I'd like to have!' She paused. 'I wish you had been at school
more this year Draco and I could have told you about it!'
'Well it kind of came out of the blue really.' She began. 'I really
wanted to improve my grades in Dark Arts class so I started
attending extra study sessions. I guess I had noticed that he seemed
to look at me quite a lot but I didn't really think anything of it.' She
paused and smiled. 'Lots of people stopped attending the class
because it was quite difficult, and then there were a couple of times I
was the only one there. He taught the session, but afterwards he
took a bit of time to chat to me, you know? And I got the sense that
he was attracted to me then, he was more and more flirty each time.
Then one night when I was the only student in the class and we just
chatted right from the start. We just clicked, Dray, I can't really
explain it. We talked and, well, one thing lead to another…' She
blushed.
'I know.' Said Draco. 'I remember recommending him and his sister
for jobs here.'
Draco laughed. He felt better. He actually felt better just for talking.
He accepted that there may be moments in the future where issues
arose after what he just experienced at Potters hands, but being able
to talk and even laugh with a friend had done enough to assure him
that he would survive it. It had been dreadful but Potter had stopped
and Draco was alright. That which didn't kill him made him stronger.
Draco nodded. They hadn't even talked about Blaise. It was almost
like if they didn't talk about it, It hadn't actually happened. But he
wasn't there with them, and he wasn't just waiting in the common
room or on a hot date, or on detention either. He was gone. Forever.
They would never see him again, never talk to him again. Draco
sighed. Although he had never been in love with Blaise, Blaise had
meant a lot to him. He had felt safe with him. Safe enough to fool
around with him when he had not been sure exactly what it was he
wanted, sexually. He had known he would be safe with his friend
Blaise. He had argued with him, cried on his shoulder, learned how
to play chess with him. Learned how to kiss with him. Draco had
imagined there would be years and years of experiences he and
Blaise would share in one way or another. He'd watch Blaise get
married, have children and become a responsible adult. Draco would
support him, all the time grateful that he hadn't had to become a
responsible adult himself. The imaginary future he had assumed, if
not consciously imagined, dissolved and fell through the cracks in
reality. Because Blaise was dead.
'We will have a proper funeral for him, when all this is over.' Draco
whispered. 'I won't let him be forgotten, Pans. We will remember him
properly after all this.'
'I'll fight with you Pansy.' Draco said suddenly, everything becoming
clear. 'Whatever happens, they won't take us and the people we
love.'
'They won't take me alive!' Pansy spat. 'And it will be over my cold
dead body that Potter gets his filthy hands on you again!'
Draco shuddered.
'I'm not going to sit back and let this happen.' She finished.
Limbs still aching from the curse, Pansy pulled herself to her feet
and offered her hand to Draco. He took hold of it and scrambled to
his feet.
'You have no wand, Pansy. You'll have to stick close to me till you
find one.' Draco told her.
'He has.' Draco replied. 'This one is Voldemort's. It's his old one, he
uses a different one now. I've been using this one for a while.'
Draco nodded.
Harry ran from the castle, ignoring his friends, ignoring the grieving
masses around him. He could not wait. He had no plan, had gained
no new information but he ran to face Voldemort like a child running
to the fair ground. Nothing else mattered. He would win. How could
he not win? As far as he was concerned he had already won. This
was just a formality. Go to the forest, defeat the Dark Lord, go back
to the castle. Probably have to make a few dull statements to the
Ministry, the Prophet etc etc… But then! Then, the bit he had been
longing for! Then, the bit which made all of his lonely, miserable life
feel like it might actually have been worth something after all. Then,
he could go to Draco. His Draco. There was a war to fight and there
was a reason to win it!
Chapter 67
Hogwarts was a mess. No matter how badly Draco and Pansy
wanted Voldemort to be victorious, it was hard for them to see the
castle, which for so long had been their home from home, in partial
ruins. Nor was it easy to walk past the rows of dead bodied and
grieving loved ones, even if they were the enemy.
They were not the only students milling around, looking lost and
confused. Dazed students from all houses were wondering about the
tattered great hall, seeking out friends, family or simply familiar
faces. Draco and Pansy both noticed that it was the Slytherin
students who were largely left to their own devices with no support or
help offered from the adults around them. Draco sighed. Not all of
those Slytherin students had family connections with the Dark Lord,
but they were probably used to being guilty until proven innocent by
now!
As Draco and Pansy walked through the great hall, people were
beginning to move. Something was happening outside in the court
yard. Draco had quite lost track of how long he and Pansy had been
talking in the abandoned office. Was the battle in the forest over
already? They, along with the others moved towards the windows
and the doors.
As the figures got closer he could identify one taller figure first. It was
Hagrid, he was sure of that. What did that mean? The figures around
him were clad in black, they were death eaters. Hagrid was some
kind of prisoner. Did that mean…? Then Draco saw him. Saw
Voldemort and his heart leap. He gave a somewhat embarrassing
scream of joy and relief and clutched Pansy for a second before
calming himself. Remembering that they were still behind enemy
lines and he did not want to draw attention to their presence.
The figures entered the court yard and Pansy got a look at
Voldemort for the first time. It was difficult not to be terrified. She
clutched Draco's hand and squeezed it. Was that sinister, snake
featured creature really the person her best friend crawled into bed
with? Did Draco kiss this man? Did he hug him? The Dark Lord was
so frightening to look at, she was not sure if she approved! However,
glancing at Draco, she saw lights in his eyes she had feared she
might not ever see again after his ordeal. The way Draco looked at
the Dark Lord told her all she needed to know.
Pansy flung her arms around Draco's waist and squeezed him.
Draco must be even more relieved to hear this than she was.
Pansy took Draco's hand and they squeezed their way towards the
front of the crowd. Pansy jumped when she saw Amycus, standing
near the front, wand drawn, pointing at a group of young students to
keep them under control. Draco encouraged Pansy towards him and
they went and stood by his side.
Draco, who had been fighting every instinct to run to Voldemort and
throw himself into his arms the very moment he saw him, was now a
little nervous and hesitant as he walked across the empty no man's
land space between the two factions. The nearer he got to
Voldemort, however, the more clearly he could feel his emotions.
Relief, happiness but also anxiety. There was still a lot of work to do.
He opened his arms.
Draco almost froze. What was he doing? Then Draco made sense of
it. He, Draco, was leading by example. This was a publicity stunt.
Draco represented a Hogwarts student walking from one side to the
other, to join the Dark Lord, to be welcomed and accepted.
Voldemort hugged him for a few seconds only, making the hug look
chaste, impersonal and as though it were simply a welcome
greeting.
It's hard to hug someone in that impersonal way when you have
been sleeping with them for over 2 years. When you know each
others deepest secrets. When you desperately want to embrace
passionately, kiss each other and sob in gratitude. It ends up looking
very strange as you both fight these emotions and try to stick to this
impromptu performance. It looks very awkward!
Voldemort called for more to join him. Was this really it? Draco
wondered. Was it really over? He glanced at the body of Harry Potter
in Hagrid's arms. This was one dead body Draco did not find it
difficult to look at.
Pansy had been dragged along with the crowd back into the building.
Draco had pledged to stay close to her and she was still wandless!
'Experiamus!' Draco yelled and shot Mrs. Weasley's wand from her
hand. His participation seemed to shock everyone, but Bellatrix
recovered first. Summoning her wand she stood side by side with
her nephew and rapidly began to resume the task she had started.
'Don't kill them all.' Draco advised. 'They are pure bloods, remember.
They may be needed to rebuild the population.'
'Ha!' Screeched Bellatrix. 'Who'd want to rebuild with scum like that?'
She laughed as she and Draco ran from the room.
'You are an obnoxious little brat!' She hissed, and then with a smile,
she rested her hand on his shoulder and gave him a nod which told
him 'I'm proud of you!'
Chaos reigned around them and Draco looked around for Pansy. He
saw her just as she had disarmed a young Hufflepuff student and
taken their wand. He ran to her.
'Right.' Pansy said, raising her wand. 'I wanna find Granger. We'll
see who's top of the class for spell casting now!'
The students ran screaming from her, all but one. One student was
gaining upon her, brandishing a sword, ready to strike. Draco
screamed again and raised his wand. How could Longbottom, the
useless lump have become such a danger? It was even less feasible
than Potter becoming dangerous! He was going to do it though. He
was going to kill Nagini!
'Pleasure.' Bella retorted. 'I always like to finish a job!' She laughed
and charged away.
He, Pansy and Bellatrix ran to the court yard and arrived just in time
to see Voldemort and Potter crash land in the middle of the space
having descended through the air in combat.
They both lay on the floor for a second before they began to move.
Draco gasped. Pansy clamped her hand over mouth. This was it.
This was the finale. Everything came down to this one moment.
Voldemort and Potter scrabbled for their wands and jumped to their
feet.
They cast their spells at the exact same time, the jets of light locking
in the air half way between the two of them, both spells equally as
strong.
The onlookers did not dare breath as everything they had fought for,
everything they believed in hung in the balance. Draco watched his
hopes and dreams, his fragile happiness, balancing on the edge of a
precipice. Would it be pulled to safety or would it fall and be
shattered into a thousand pieces?
The seconds seemed hours as the spells locked in mid air, until
there was a sudden sharp snap. One of the wands was failing! A
dreadful, crackling sound tore the fearful atmosphere as one spell
began to lose power, to retreat, being pushed further and further
towards the tip of the failing wand.
The opponents spell grew stronger, their hope renewing, their victory
in sight! The spell at last reached the tip of the weakening wand, the
force of it instantly burning out the wand core, obliterating its magic,
before doing the same to the wizard who held it.
A dead body dropped heavily to the cold stone floor, the charred
remains of a once cherished wand still clutched in their lifeless hand.
Chapter 68
'His eyes gently flutter and he moans softly as I move on top of him.
He draws deep gasping breaths as I move between his slender legs
and prepare to enter him. He looks so pretty and so helpless laying
beneath me, on his back. He won't try to fight me. Not today.
I enter him and it feels like worlds collide, like stars are falling from
the skies, I love him so much. He doesn't scream today, he just sobs
gently as I fill him completely. He's always been very emotional. I
kiss him softly. I'm in the mood to be gentle.
It's just over a year since I won the war. I almost can't believe how
much time has elapsed and still I want him as much today as I did in
the beginning. I let my intentions and feelings for him become public
knowledge almost immediately after the battle. I had waited long
enough. We had waited long enough. I was glad to be able to be
honest. Some people were surprised of course. I suppose it wasn't
what they expected of me. But people accept it now. After all, why
shouldn't I want this?
I watch him screw his eyes shut and I listen to him sigh as I fuck him.
His hands grip the bed sheets tightly. I bury my face in the crook of
his neck and suck at the delicate skin. He love this, it always pushes
him closer when I bite him like this. He cried out loud and grips my
shoulder almost without thinking, digging his nails into my skin. I
don't mind.
I almost draw out of him and then thrust in hard. Now he screams. I
take hold of his hips and pull him further onto me so that I am as
deep inside him as I can get. He is so flushed and so beautiful. I
begin to pound him harder and harder. I'd take more time with him,
but I have things I need to do today. I will make it up to him later,
really spoil him with my attention, but for now there is just time for
this. I couldn't leave the house without taking him first, without letting
him know just how much I want him. Just how much I love him.
He's close, and so am I, but I'll get him there before I come. It's
selfish not to. And I like having that effect on him. I have always liked
that. Relentlessly I push into him, hitting him right where he needs it
and at last I feel him climax and it pushes me over the edge, just like
it always does.
I kiss him softly once we have finished and I whisper that I love him.
I really do love him. I can never forget that it is because of him that I
won the war. There were moments when it was his love that
motivated me, his love and my desire to build a perfect life for him.
His love really did save me and he makes me so happy. Perhaps
happier than I deserve to be. If it hadn't been for him, who knows
what could have happened out there in the battle? I am here to tell
the tale simply because he loves me.
Who knows how it could have ended if it hadn't been for his loyalty, if
it hadn't been for his wand.'
Chapter 69
Looking back, Draco Malfoy would conclude that the hours that
immediately followed the battle were some of the longest of his life:
There was a deathly silence in the court yard. Despite being early
morning, not even the birds were making any noise, there was not
even the rustle of leaves blowing in the wind. No one dared speak.
No one dared move. Was it really over? Was he really dead?
Draco stared at the lifeless body on the floor, not quite sure if he
believed his eyes. Could this really have happened? There was no
flicker of life in the still open eyes, and no movement in the tense
closed hand. Draco stared at the burnt out wand. A wand that had,
for a time, belonged to him.
It was Bellatrix's voice that first broke the silence with a loud and
impassioned scream.
'MORSMORDRE!' She cried, pointing her wand into the sky and
conjuring the dark mark above the castle, prompting the death eaters
to join her in cheering the victory.
It probably didn't give the correct impression, but Voldemort flung his
arms around Draco in return and gripped him so tightly that Draco
could hardly breath. He released him after a second or so, aware
they had an audience and that there was work still to be done here.
Many of the crowd had been looking at the skull and snake that had
appeared in the sky and had missed this far less awkward hug taking
place. Not Pansy though. She too had not taken her eyes off Draco
since Potter had fallen. She smiled as she watched Draco run to
Voldemort, and she saw the way Voldemort held Draco. She nodded
happily. Other people might not see it right away, but she did. They
were right together.
Bellatrix, Greyback, Snape and some of the other most elite death
eaters gathered close around their master. Lucius and Narcissa
moved closer too, mostly because Draco was there. Voldemort
turned to Draco first.
'Will you stay here with me Draco, while we sort this situation out? Or
would you prefer to go with your parents and wait for me at the
manor?'
'I'll stay with you.' He said in a matter of fact way, making it clear that
from this point onwards he was no longer going to be kept on the
sidelines.
'Go back to your home.' Voldemort instructed them. 'Draco and I will
join you later.' Many people heard him. He made no secret of his
relationship with Draco. There was no need any more.
The work began. The death eaters far outnumbered the remaining
members of the Order of the Phoenix and it was easy work to round
them up and execute them there and then.
'I know the true allegiance of some of the students. There are one or
two I'm sure we don't need to lock up.' Draco said.
'Really? Who is it that you have this much faith in?' Voldemort asked.
Pansy thought she might faint. Amycus, beside her, thought he might
too.
'Do you want to stay here, Pansy?' Draco asked her outright.
'Pansy will stay here, with Professor Carrow.' Draco said. 'She'll be
able to help with any work there is to do.'
'Yes my Lord. Thank you my Lord!' She replied and Amycus nodded
in agreement.
Draco thought that introduction had gone very well, all things
considered.
Draco smiled.
'Thank you !' He replied. 'Thank you for so many things, and
especially for coming to fight with us in the end.'
'My loyalties are with you.' Snape said firmly. 'With both of you.'
It was Draco, in fact, who made the first contact at the ministry.
Voldemort knew this would be safe as the upper echelons of the
ministry had been under his control for some time. They would meet
no resistance. However, to the masses who worked there, this
takeover would come as a shock. Voldemort arrived with Bellatrix,
Yaxley and McNair as an entourage, Grayback as a bodyguard and
Draco acting as an ambassador. Draco was a wonderful combination
of assertive and charming.
The ministry visit was as brief as it could be. It was simply to
establish control and make sure that the Daily Prophet ran the story
in the correct fashion. The real takeover would happen the following
day and the public knowledge of it would be very closely controlled in
the first instance until a firm grip had been well and truly established.
'Go now, and celebrate the victory in whatever way pleases you.' He
hissed. Draco shot Bellatrix a knowing look, having a clear idea of
how she and Grayback were likely to celebrate!
Once they had left, Draco and Voldemort simply wrapped their arms
around each other and apparated in unison to the manor.
Lucius and Narcissa began to wish they had not been so hasty to
rush to the hallway, as this hug was a million times more awkward to
witness than the one that had taken place on the battle ground. They
were both relieved when Draco and Voldemort were shaken out of
their embrace by a loud hiss from the drawing room door.
Draco looked round, his eyes wet with tears, an exalted smile on his
face.
Narcissa was possibly more troubled by this than she was by seeing
him with the Dark Lord.
'Nagini! You bad snake!' Draco chastised, tears of relief in his eyes.
'We told you to stay here! You could have been killed! I'm never
letting you out of my sight again!'
Draco wanted to know what he had said. He got the feeling that they
were talking about him from the way Voldemort smiled at him as he
spoke. He did not get the chance to ask.
'We took the liberty of having some food prepared for you both. It is
set out in the drawing room.' Narcissa informed them. 'You must both
be exhausted. Lucius and myself are extremely tired but we wanted
to be ready to greet you on your return.'
She seemed so nervous and was behaving so formally. Draco felt a
rush of emotion and ran to her and hugged her. Voldemort smiled.
Draco was so emotional!
'Thank you my Lord.' Lucius replied. 'We will leave you and Draco in
peace to relax a little.'
With that, he took his wife's hand and they retired upstairs, much in
need of sleep. The rightness of leaving their son alone with his lover
was far from Narcissa's mind. They had all been through so much in
the last 24 hours, she had no energy left to worry about such trivial
matters. They were all alive. They were all safe. Nothing else
mattered, not really.
Voldemort took Draco's hand and led him to the drawing room.
The room was only dimly lit, which Draco was glad about. It was
calming and relaxing like this. The fire was glowing and it cast a
warm soothing light over the room. Nagini was coiled up beside the
hearth, enjoying the heat as a substitute for the warmer climate she
had once been used to.
They sat down beside one another, so close they could probably
have shared one chair. They ate in silence. Draco felt the food
beginning to normalise his blood sugar and adrenalin levels. He
began to feel more lucid and focused and the reality of what had
happened that day began to become clearer.
Once they had eaten, Draco led Voldemort to the sofa by the fire and
they sat down. Voldemort wrapped his arm around Draco who
snuggled into his chest gratefully. He was suddenly aware that he
had not slept in nearly 36 hours.
Draco sat up a little and turned to face him. He was tired, but he
wanted to talk far more than he wanted to sleep.
'I am glad I was there with you.' He replied. 'I will be from now on,
you know.'
'I have already realised that.' Voldemort said with a smile. 'I need you
to be with me I think. You are far better with people than I am. You
have a talent for public relations that I don't have.'
'Two things.' He said. 'One of my best friends was killed. Pansy and I
were lucky to escape, but my friend Blaise was killed by fiendfyre.'
Draco had thought he would keep it together, but he began to cry.
'It wasn't like that.' Draco said, tears filling his eyes again. 'He said
he wanted me… I thought he was going to…' Draco stopped
speaking and simply looked frightened. It was as if he were
confessing something dreadful that he himself had done. That was
how it felt.
'I'm glad I killed him.' Voldemort hissed. 'I only wish it could have
been slower. Oh, Gods, Draco, are you really alright?' He almost
sobbed.
Draco nodded.
'I am alright now I am with you. Now I am with you and Potter is
gone, none of that stuff matters any more. It's the future that matters
now.' Draco said passionately.
' Our future, Draco.' Voldemort smiled and kissed the top of Draco's
head softly.
The air was warm and balmy and sunlight streamed through the
windows of the elegant townhouse that Draco and Voldemort stayed
in when they were in town. It was ideally placed in one of the nicest
residential areas of magical London.
Draco sat up on the bed. It was early morning and they had nothing
in particular they needed to do that day. Draco watched Voldemort
sleep. It was unusual. He knew Voldemort watched him sleep from
time to time, but he himself did not see the attraction. It was more
fun when they were both awake.
'If anyone ever hears you call me that… !' He warned scornfully.
Draco giggled.
'No.' Draco admitted. 'I need something to call you other than 'my
Lord'. 'Master' is only appropriate at certain times…' He gave a
saucy grin. 'And 'Voldemort' is kind of a long name to say.'
'I have never told you my old name have I?' Voldemort mused
wistfully.
'Tom' Voldemort said, with no emotion in his voice. 'My name was
Tom'
'No.' Voldemort replied. 'It isn't really who I am any more. It doesn't
feel like me.'
'Well I can't call you that then.' Draco concluded. He paused. 'Voldy it
is!'
'OK. I promise.' He said. 'It can be our secret. We're good at those.'
He smiled.
'Yes, I suppose we are.' Voldemort replied.
With that he took Draco in his arms and kissed him good morning,
losing himself in a moment of pure bliss. Voldemort felt Draco's lips
curve into a soft smile and he thought for a moment about just how
far they had come, just how wonderful this was. Life could not be any
more perfect than this.
Perhaps it was never meant to be like this, yet somehow, all was
well.
