Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all lounging on the back porch a week later when an three owls swooped down and landed next to each of them. Hermione recognized them as the Hogwarts owls, and noted another owl had gone up to Draco's room as well. As she opened her letter and read it a huge grin spread across her face.
Dear Ms. Granger,
I am happy to announce that this year you have been selected as Head Girl and will be working along with Draco Malfoy as the Head Boy. Please meet Professor McGonagall after the Grand Feast to recieve your badges as well as to be shown where your private quarters will be this year. Please remember that this is a privilege and will be taken away if needed too. Congratulations Ms. Granger and we hope to see you on the first of September. We have also included a letter with your books and items needed for your school year.
Professor Dumbledore
Headmaster
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
“I'm Head Girl!” she yelled and she tackled the other two, hugging them both.
“Con....Congratulations Hermione!” Harry said, laughing and pulling away slightly.
“Congrats 'Mione!” Ron said, hugging her back.
“I really am surprised Dumbledore chose me-”
“Oh come off it Hermione! You knew you'd get it all along!” Ron said, cutting her off.
“Hush up Ron! Let me have my moment of happiness” she said with a laugh.
“So did it say who you're working with?” Harry asked, and she handed him the letter, “Malfoy?!”
“What?! They have her working with him? Why not you or me?” Ron asked, ripping the letter from Harry's hand.
“Maybe because the two of us are the top two in our year and have been for the past six years?” she stated and Harry shrugged.
“Did I hear some owls screeching out here?” They all turned to see Khira and nodded.
She walked over just as one of the owls hooted and flew onto her shoulder, nipping at her cheek. She smiled and pet the owl, before noticing their odd stares at how the bird reacted.
“This is one of the owls we used to own. About five years ago Alex donated some owls we had to Hogwarts. This one I believe was named Marat.”
“Yes, that is Marat” Alex stated, walking outside, the bird instantly flying to her and her saying something to it in Russian.
“What did you say?” Hermione asked.
“I said 'foolish bird” because this one was always trouble for us” she replied.
“Malfoy get a letter as well?” Harry asked and she nodded.
“Along with a letter from the Ministry” she growled.
“Ministry? What do they want?” Khira asked.
“Narcissa's body was never claimed by Lucius and they are now relying on Draco to follow through with her wishes. They wrote and said they need Draco to come in within the next week and claim the body but to also tell them where he wants her buried.”
“She can't be buried at Malfoy Manor. Lucius likely has already changed the wards” Hermione replied.
“I figured that much, which is why I'm going to go check and see if they HAVE changed. If so, we will find another place for her, but if not, I will be getting the rest of Draco's things and coming back here with them. I'm not sending Draco back there to do it himself” she said.
“I'm going with you-”
“No” she replied, cutting off her wife's attempt.
“Alex...I want to go-”
“I said no. You will stay here as I am ordering you to do” she replied, and the other felt the weight of the command take over, “So what are you going to do today?”
“I will stay here while you are at Malfoy Manor” Khira replied, lowering her gaze.
“Someone needs to stay here with them regardless and I won't be long. I'll be back in an hour at the most” The two of them shared a look before Khira nodded and Alex walked away.
“How can you stand being so submissive? Doesn't it hurt your feelings that she is like that?” Hermione asked, seeing a tear fall down the blond's face.
“It's for my own good. I'm crying because she told me something privately that assured me of why she gave me the order.”
“Yeah, but don't you sometimes wish you were also able to have that control on Alex?”
“I do Hermione. After you've gotten to know us a bit more you'll see” she replied with a laugh, “If I wanted, she would be putty in my hands in seconds and doing anything I ask.”
“She only commands her if she feels it is needed” Khira turned and smiled at Draco who caught the end of the conversation.
“You got your Hogwarts letter?” Hermione asked and he nodded.
“Why they chose me as head boy I will not understand” he said, shaking his head.
“Top two in our year. The top two usually are made the Head students for their year” she replied.
“Why in the bloody hell are you two so close all the sudden?!” Ron roared, having watched from the side them talking.
“Why are you still being an arse to him Ron? We told you what happened long ago. Why can't you just listen and stop being an arse about it?” Hermione scolded him.
“Hermione do you honestly believe I'm going to just forgive him for all that he's done over the years?”
“Yes I do Ronald! You've always been like this. If it's not because it's Draco then it's because he's a Slytherin! Being a Slytherin doesn't make you evil! Alex isn't a bad person, neither is Khira-”
“I was actually a Gryffindor” the older woman replied, blushing slightly.
“What?!” Draco roared from the door, “Doth my ears deceive me? You were in Gryffindor?!”
“Yes, I was. Alex hated it when she found out. Swore her mate was going to be a Slytherin and not some goody two shoes Gryffindor that was as hardheaded to boot.”
“I bet she hated courting you” Draco replied.
“Why would she hate it?” Harry asked.
“Different customs for the both of us. Alex was taught, like many other Slytherins, to let her money talk, but with me it took much more than money. It took brains, courage, and that gorgeous body of hers” the blond replied with a chuckle.
“Please spare us details” Draco replied, pretending to gag, “I know you love her, but I don't like to think of someone my mother's age like that, especially since she is like a second mum to me.”
“Fair enough but you know for a fact that me and her both don't age like normal mortals. We may both be forty but we look around the age of twenty-five.”
“You're both forty?” Hermione asked and received a nod, “I thought you both were younger than that.”
“Well thank you for that Hermione, but no we're not. Narcissa was forty-two. She had Draco when she was twenty-five” Alex had returned wearing formal robes. It looked to be a mix between a military uniform and robes. The robes consisted of dark brown pants with red stripes up the side, black dragon scale boots, and a top that was the same color as the pants but had a black belt around the waist.
“Ministry raid?” Khira asked but the other shook her head.
“No, the Minister is calling in all officers to discuss the new laws in place” she stated, putting her hat on which they noticed had a symbol of an eagle holding a wand.
“You resigned last month though, so why is he calling you in?” her wife asked.
“They want me to go on record with what I know about Lucius and his whereabouts” she said pinning a badge to her chest.
“Alex you know you can't do that!” Draco roared at her.
“Calm down Draco. It is perfectly fine!” she said.
“You think the Russians won't find him first?” he asked.
“I know the Russian Ministry won't. I'm giving them false information” she said rolling her eyes.
“Why do that?” Hermione asked.
“If the Russian Ministry gets their hands on Lucius before the British Ministry it's instantly a death sentence. Lucius needs to suffer for what he did to Narcissa.”
“Babe, I know you want to get him the max punishment, but you can get into a LOT of trouble for this-”
“I know love, but I am not worried. The most they will do is revoke my privileges and that be all. I already resigned.” Alex replied, cutting off her wife.
“You and that damn badge” Draco grumbled behind her.
“Shove it Draco” she said, glaring at him, before turning to Khira, “I need to get going, because I'm going to stop by Malfoy Manor before I come home. I'll be back before dinner. ”
“You better be” the blond replied, before Alex apparated away.
“What is the whole deal with the badge?” Harry asked.
“Did you get to see the badge, Potter?” Draco asked and the brunette shook his head, “Anyone in Russia that carries a badge with an imperial eagle holding a wand in its beak is considered diplomatically immune, even in muggle establishments. The muggles see it as an eagle holding a sword, and are told it means you're an officer in the army. You simply flash the badge and they cannot do anything to you. Only the highest ranking officers in the Russian Ministry get them, and they keep them for the rest of their lives, even if they resign. Alex got hers four years ago.”
“So she can do anything with that badge? No consequences?”
“Anything” Draco and Khira replied at the same time.
“Blimey!” Ron said and the other two nodded.
Just then a house elf popped in next to Khira and she bent down to speak to it. She whispered something in the witch's ear and they saw her nod before the elf vanished and Khira turned and looked at Draco.
“It seems that they finally released your mother's house elves to you. They're in the foyer waiting for you.”
“My mother's elves? They were Malfoy elves weren't they?” she shook her head at him.
“No, when your mother married Lucius she brought with her ten elves, the eldest of them being Pippy who is over fifty years old.”
“Why are they being sent now though? It has been almost a month” Hermione asked.
“The Ministry needed to finish paperwork and various other things first, and the house elves were told not to leave the house until they were given permission by the Ministry. It seems that the Ministry has been a little slow in processing Narcissa's murder” Khira stated, the anger evident in her voice.
“You said they're in the foyer?” Draco asked and she nodded, “I'll go greet them then.”
“It might be best that we all greet them. So they know who all of us are.”
They all followed the blond as he walked through the dining room. Upon entering the foyer the ten elves who immediately bowed. They were all wearing tan rags and each had a pair of socks on their feet that were a gray color. Once they heard Draco stop in front of them they all raised their heads, looking at the young blond.
“Master Draco it is good to see you is safe. We elves worried after Mistress was killed” one of them stated reaching his hand towards the blond, which Draco took.
“Pippy, it is good to see all of you again” he said, kneeling down and smiling at them all.
“With the death of Mistress Narcissa, you are now our Master. We elves are only loyal to you, and not to Lucius Malfoy” the small elf replied with a smile.
“Gippy!” Khira called and the small elf appeared next to her, “Gippy, please bring these ten elves some new clothes, in the color that Draco chooses for them.”
“How many male and female elves are there?” Draco asked.
“There be four females, and six males Master Draco” one of the elves at the end stated.
“Rosie, I didn't realize you were here” he said and the small elf stepped forward and bowed, “Gippy please bring them four pairs of golden clothes, and six in silver each baring a Dragon emblem. "Who are the rest of you?”
The elf snapped out of sight as each of the elves came forward and stated their names. Draco welcomed each of them and was astonished to find his own personal elf Jasmine was among them. The tiny elf squealed and leaped into his arms, causing each of the Gryffindors to chuckle as the elf hugged him, crying out that she had missed her master. He chuckled slightly and placed her back on the ground just as Gippy returned, snapping his fingers to change the clothes of the elves over to gold and silver, the Dragon emblem lying over their hearts in black. Each elf started crying upon seeing the new clothes, and Khira suggested they go with Gippy to learn the layout of the estate. They all bowed and snapped their fingers before vanishing and leaving the five of them in the room.
“How about we all have lunch outside on the veranda? Khira asked and they all nodded.
After having lunch they all sat out on the veranda talking and laughing. Harry and Ron started playing chess at the table in the corner, with Harry mostly cursing at how well Ron was at the game and how much he won. Khira sat there watching as the elves walked around the flower beds pruning the flowers and pulling weeds before moving over to watch the boys play chess. She was astonished at how well Ron played and laughed as he won again. Draco started reading the paper on the table and grumbled to himself about the headlines concerning his mother's funeral among other things. Hermione watched him and thought back to that morning and the dream she had. Ever since Draco had gone to talk to Alex her dreams had gotten a little more frantic and it was starting to disturb her quite a bit. The dreams had turned erotic as well.
Hermione could hear the sounds of everyone sleeping around her as she walked down the halls of the estate. She kept feeling drawn to Draco, and something in the back of her mind kept telling her no matter what she'd eventually make him notice her. She stopped and looked down at herself and gasped. She was in a short, see through gown with no bra on and only a pair of silk underwear. She looked up and realized she was right outside Draco's room.
Her body started moving again against her will, as she moved towards the door. She raised her hand and turned the knob, opening it slowly and stepping inside, closing the door behind her silently. She walked towards the sleeping form on the bed, and slowly reached over, running her hand down his cheek. Draco stirred lightly, turning onto his back, the covers falling slightly to expose his bare chest. Hermione licked her lips at this and slowly climbed onto the bed, straddling the blond. Upon her weight shifting onto him, Draco stirred again and opened his eyes slightly in a daze.
“Mia?” he asked groggily, looking up at her.
“Surprised to see me?” she whispered, leaning back to give him more to view.
“Mia what are you wearing?” he asked, fully awake now, unable to take his eyes off her.
“Do you like it?” she asked with a smile.
“Yes, but why are you wearing it?” he said, gasping when she ground her hips against his.
“I wanted to wear something special for you” she said, leaning over and kissing him lightly.
“Hermione stop!” he said, pushing her back, “You need to stop.”
“Do you want me to?” she asked, pouting.
“That doesn't matter. You need to leave, now!” he said, but she ignored him, leaning in to kiss him again.
“Just be quiet and let me take care of you” she stated, planting kisses down his chest.
“Hermione!” she was jolted back and looked up to see Draco staring at her with a questioning look, “You alright? You seemed to be somewhere else there.”
“I'm fine” she said quickly, “What did you want?”
“I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the kitchen with me to get a snack” he asked and she nodded.
“Sure.”
The two of them left Khira and the boys, Khira giving Draco a knowing smirk, and went back inside. As they walked to the kitchen Draco felt a pull to the witch next to him. The pull was starting to irritate him. He hadn't told anyone but ever since he went to speak with Alex he'd been having wet dreams that involved a particular witch and it was driving him insane. He would wake up hard as a rock and the cold showers in the morning were starting to annoy him. He'd finally had enough of it after the last dream which was just that morning. He had decided to do something about it. Just as they walked around the corner to the kitchen he grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her close, before pushing her against the wall, pinning her there with his body.
“Draco what are you doing?” she asked, stunned.
“Mia, have you noticed anything odd lately between us?” he asked bluntly.
“What are you talking about?”
“I'm talking about the odd smell I've been sensing lately, and the fights between me and Weasley. Not to mention the fact that every time we are around each other I feel a weird pull to you” he said, avoiding looking her in the eyes.
“Yes, I have noticed that, but I also have been having some problems of my own, and I don't think they are major factors.”
“What kind of things?” he asked, looking in her eyes.
“Odd dreams, getting angry when I see Ron and you fighting, then the way you acted the other day about the odd smell, and various other things” she said, counting them off on her fingers.
“What kind of dreams?”
“I can't tell you that” she said quickly, looking down.
“Why not?
“It wouldn't be right to tell you” she said, trying to move away, but he tightened his hold on her, “Draco let me go.”
“Tell me.”
“I can't!” she said, looking away him.
“Let me guess” he said, turning her head to face him, “You suddenly feel a pull to me?”
“So what if I do Draco. It could just mean we spend too much time together” she said, rolling her eyes.
“Do you really believe that?” he asked.
“Y-yes” she stated, looking back towards the door, “Sure, we knew each other as kids, but that doesn't make it any different-”
“The odd smell I keep having leads me straight to you every time” he said, cutting her off.
“What?”
“EVERY time I smell it, it leads me straight to you Hermione. I keep having these weird dreams as well, and I don't want you anywhere near Weasley, which only happened after your eyes glowed that night.”
“What kind of dreams?”
“Specific dreams involving only you and me” he said, and then ground his hips into hers to get his point across, causing her to gasp.
“That could easily be our creature blood. Alex explained as well that my eyes glowing was because of the emotions I had that night” she said, shoving him back slightly.
“Yet her eyes have only EVER glowed in reaction to Khira” he said placing his hands on each side of her head.
“What?”
“Alex didn't tell us, but I did some more reading into it and figured it out after that day it happened to her. From what I read our eyes will only ever glow when we're near our mate.”
“You can't be my mate Draco!” she said, pushing him back and feeling a slight flash of pain.
“Why not? Would it be such a bad thing if you are my mate?” She paused at him saying this and looked up into his eyes.
“You don't want me to be your mate Draco” shaking her head at him.
“You're wrong you stubborn witch!” he growled, shoving her back against the wall and slamming his lips against hers.
