Draco stared at the fourth draft of his letter, the previous three having been incinerated (one by fiendfyre), and realised that although he wasn't happy with it it wasn't going to get better whatever he did so he might as well send it. The worst she'd do would be send a howler, or a more creative curse back.

Hermione,

I know I'm the last person you expect to hear from, but in my entire time in Hogwarts there is only one witch I consider my intellectual superior even if she did have the misfortune to choose friends she couldn't even bounce ideas off. In my attempts to reverse engineer various enchanted artifacts and create my own I'm afraid I have run into something I need a second opinion on, but that could lead to a wizarding version of the internet, and even potentially being able to connect the two via a heavily modified protean charm (a spell I am aware you've used).

If you are interested any owl you send will be welcome at Malfoy Manor and I will entirely understand if you want to meet in a neutral place or even on your own territory, and you are welcome to bring a bodyguard although I would request anyone except Ron or George Weasley.

Regards,

Draco Malfoy

It was now or never, so he rolled the note up, attached it to the leg of his owl, and sent it to find Hermione Granger wherever she was.

Hermione started to walk forward, her eyes searching over the wall full of books.

"No. I won't." Hermione answers. Her crusade to free house elves didn't turn out to be what many of them desired. In fact, many of them preferred to be working.

"Yes. That would be lovely."

"Mara? We've got a guest. Come and say hello to Hermione."

A few seconds later house-elf appeared in front of her, wearing what looked like a shimmering blue dress; a second glance would show it to be entirely made up of flat dark blue glass pieces held together by wire.

"You're dressed up, Mara." Draco smiled.

"Master Draco doesn't have guests over often." Mara smiled wickedly. "And it's funny to watch their eyes bulge when they can't tell the difference between jewelry and clothes." Of course given that the 'jewelry'' in question was proportionately longer than most cocktail dresses it was understandable. "Hello Miss Hermione."

From:

mudblood_andproud

"Hello Mara." Hermione smiles softly. She wonders how Mara had known instinctively who she was.

"Did you make that yourself? It is lovely."

From:

dragons_can_learn

Mara knew because Draco had named her, and she smiled proudly. "Yes, Mara did, thank you."

Draco nodded. "Mara made all the glasswork in there other than the simple tubes and flasks."

"Mara likes making things, Miss Hermione. And Mara likes making things that last and do things even more than she likes making things that get eaten."

From:

mudblood_andproud

"Simply fantastic." Hermione smiles. She remembers the glasswork. And how finely made it had been.

"You have a remarkable talent."

From:

dragons_can_learn

"Thank you, Miss Hermione. But Mara would like to get back to work before something bends slightly."

Draco smiled. "We couldn't have that. Go!" And Mara vanished as Draco turned to Hermione. "So you've now met my lab tech. I think she's trying to blow a Klein Bottle at the moment."

From:

mudblood_andproud

"That is very admirable, Draco." Hermione smiled. "It must be very important to have someone capable with their work as your lab tech."

From:

dragons_can_learn

"I'm lucky." Draco shrugged. "Neither Snape nor Slughorn would let their house elves in their lab except to clean up. But Mara's always been curious, and never really liked cleaning as much as most House Elves. And even a house elf distracting you from books surprises me."

From:

mudblood_andproud

"And how does she distract you from your books?"

From:

dragons_can_learn

Draco blinked. "The only she distracting me from books right now is the one right in front of me." He took a step towards her.

From:

mudblood_andproud

"Is that right?" Hermione kept still for the moment. "And what distraction is on your mind, Draco?"

From:

dragons_can_learn

"Exploring you. And seeing if I can first make you beg and then leave you as an exhausted puddle." Draco smiled, looking her in the eyes and probing with legilimency, offering to reopen the link.

From:

mudblood_andproud

Hermione nodded at the offer to reopen the link. Mostly so she could show him that tonight, no matter what happened, she didn't want to be left. She wanted to be in his arms. To be touched over and over again. To be caressed. To be worshiped.

"Draco..." Her voice was soft. A little pleading. "You have always had this effect on me. Don't tease me too much, now that it could be a reality."

From:

dragons_can_learn

And Draco let her see some of his own uncertainties. That a big part of the reason he wanted to chain her up was so she couldn't leave; he didn't want her to leave either. And he let her see what he meant by leaving her as an exhausted puddle, with him kissing her forehead, and holding her as she slept.

"I'm not going to stop teasing you when you respond so deliciously, Hermione." His voice was a growl as he opened the door to a surprisingly utilitarian bedroom. "But I do mean to follow through on all my teasing."

From:

mudblood_andproud

Sensing his worries, Hermione allowed some of her more 'romantic' thoughts to become expressed. Him and her at a quiet bonding ceremony, where their closest friends watch them become man and wife. Him catering to her silly demands, as she waddled around pregnant with his children. Them sending their children off to school, often when she has this fantasy the children are twins. A girl with hair as pale as white, and those soft silvery-blue eyes. A boy with the wild curls of his mother, and a stubborn look in his hazel eyes.

Hermione felt herself shiver at his growled voice. Another fantasy, of how even when their children were old enough to graduate from Hogwarts, how their love and passion was still strong. Draco teasing his fingers over his skin, as she tried to squirm and pay attention to the graduation ceremony. His voice growling elicit promises of wanting her, only stopping for a brief moment to show his pride at the accomplishments of his children.

Moving into the bedroom, Hermione smiled. "Good."

She was nervous. This moment was something she had ached for so long. And she needed him to take control. Lead her.

From:

dragons_can_learn

And Draco could lead - in this case leading her back towards his four poster king sized bed, immaculately made, kissing her, and lowering her onto her back. "No shoes on the bed, 'Mione. Or you get punished." He was kicking his own shoes off as he spoke - but that was an invitation for her to signal even as he stole another quick kiss.

From:

mudblood_andproud

Her heart was racing by the time he was lowering her onto the bed. She smirked slightly. "And what sort of punishment would I deserve?"

But she does remove her shoes. Since she wore heels, it was not as simple a just kicking them off. She made it almost a show.

From:

dragons_can_learn

"Oh, I think that stripping naked would qualify for your punishment." Draco smiled, teasing, and very slightly pushing. Knowing she was enjoying the teasing, and looking forward to seeing her actually naked.

From:

mudblood_andproud

"Alright. Would you prefer a slow teasing show? Or something quick and to the point?" Hermione asked.

From:

dragons_can_learn

"That's up to you." Draco smiled. "I'd enjoy seeing what sort of show you put on, but I also want you over here."

From:

mudblood_andproud

Hermione moved, until she could position herself right in front of Draco, practically sitting in his lap. "I think I can do both."

She starts slowly, unbuttoning her leather jacket, and letting it fall to the ground. Then she slowly inched her shirt up and over her head, until it too was dropped to the floor. Hermione was not wearing a bra. Since she was an average A cup, her tits were small and bouncy, without the need of support. There is a nearly invisible scar right at her collarbone (that was one of the many reminders of her torture).

Hermione arched up her hips, letting Draco study her body, as she slowly unfastened her pants, slowly lowering them off her hips, and then sliding it off her body. She was wearing a pair of rose red panties.

Once her pants were off, it only took a moment to rid herself of her stockings next. Hermione paused for a moment, sitting there with only her panties on. "Would you like to remove the last piece?"

From:

dragons_can_learn

Draco's eyes darkened as he watched her with rapt attention, visibly hardening as she teased. And when he spoke his voice was a lustful growl. "Do they matter?" The subtext through the link was clear; he wanted to tear them off her.

From:

mudblood_andproud

"They have no sentimental value." Hermione can always go out and purchase a new pair.

From:

dragons_can_learn

Draco's smirk was wicked, and with the mental link Hermione would probably catch the very minor flash of magic as he tore them right off her, shredding them in the process. "I'll buy you a replacement." He then sent an image of herself to her in black and green sheer panties; the colours were of course Malfoy colours.
