PURSUED
Malfoy grinned at her.
"Married life. Me and Pansy."
"You and...I mean, I know you go around together but...well I didn't think it was that serious." She frowned at him. "You're really getting married?"
Malfoy scratched the side of his nose.
"Well, not exactly married - not yet, anyhow, but our fathers have had the prenuptial papers drawn up. That's why I'm here - going to see the lawyers tomorrow to sign my freedom away."
"You sound really ready for it," she scoffed.
"I don't have much choice in the matter. Our fathers have had an understanding since we were born..."
Hermione stared at him.
"An arranged marriage? Really? And you're OK about that?"
Malfoy shrugged.
"Pansy and I have always known about it - it's just something that has to happen if our two families are to remain pure-blood."
"But do you love her?"
Malfoy snorted with laughter.
"What's love got to do with it? Marriage is for breeding good stock. If you want love, you can always look outside." He looked at her and obviously saw her horrified expression. "It works both ways - Pansy'll be free to screw around, once we've had kids and the bloodline is ensured."
"But...that's a terrible way to live. What about the children..."
"Oh, they'll get used to it. I had to. In fact, where do you think my father is tonight? It's done me no harm..."
It was Hermione's turn to snort with laughter.
"Anyway," he continued, "Monogamy means I'm limited to pleasuring just one woman for the rest of my life. This way, I can spread the joy..."
"You really are full of yourself aren't you?"
"Haven't you read my reviews? I'm rather good, you know...especially with virgins..."
Hermione coloured.
"I don't think we should be having this conversation," she said, making to get up.
"Oh, now, what have I said?" He put on a camp voice. "You're not going to bed angry with me, are you? Neither of us will get a wink of sleep if you do."
"I just think," she said, getting to her feet "I'd rather be alone in my own room, sleepless, than down here with you..."
"Alone in your room, thinking about Potter - who you don't fancy - screwing Cho Chang instead of you. Why does Granger want to screw Potter when she doesn't fancy him?"
Hermione began walking out of the room.
"Unless...could it be that it's the one practical subject that remains elusive to our Miss Know-it-all and she's decided to do something about it..?"
Hermione's cheeks were burning as she headed for the stairs.
"Tell me," he said, following her. "Is screwing someone you don't actually fancy, just for the experience, any better than my marrying someone I don't love just to continue the bloodline? It's a means to an end, isn't it."
"I happen to like Harry."
"I happen to like Pansy; and if I end up falling in love with her, that's cool 'cause we'll be married. However...you fall in love with Potter and how would you feel next week when he's off with someone else..?"
Hermione stopped in her tracks. Her methodical brain told her that Malfoy had actually said something she hadn't considered.
"I won't fall in love with Harry."
"You can't be sure of that. Sex is more emotional for women than it is for us men - you must have read that; and it'll be your first time - that's even more dangerous."
"Then I shall just have to wait, won't I - for someone else to come along."
"I guess so; but I rather formed the impression this thing was on the agenda for tonight - what with all the Pheromones you'd tipped over yourself."
Hermione went red to the roots.
"How do you know..?"
