Chapter Text
The grand dining hall echoed with the sound of clinking silverware, the light chatter of conversation, and the soft background music from a magical gramophone set in the corner. The high ceilings, adorned with crystal chandeliers, threw soft light onto the polished wood of the long dining table. The table itself was adorned with an array of delicacies that would make any gourmand's mouth water.
Hermione sat sandwiched between Pansy and Blaise, her plate filled with a modest portion of salad and roasted vegetables. Theo, opposite her, was engrossed in a lively conversation with Pansy about an attack on The Order that had taken place earlier in the month.
The atmosphere was light and almost festive, a stark contrast to the tension Hermione had felt when she had first arrived at the Malfoy mansion. Yet, underneath the surface, there were undercurrents of tension, palpable but unspoken. Hermione could feel them, a sharp contrast to the easy camaraderie she had with her friends in the Order.
As they continued their meal, the grand doors to the dining hall swung open with a flourish, and Draco strode in, drawing all eyes to him. He looked impeccable as always, but there was a hardness to his gaze, a cold edge that wasn't there before.
"Ladies, gentlemen," he began, his voice commanding immediate attention, "I've just been informed that there will be another celebration tonight. The Dark Lord has decreed it, in honor of the recent victories against the Order."
Hermione's heart constricted at the words, memories of Ginny flooding her mind, the pain of loss sharp and raw. As if sensing her distress, Draco's gaze flickered to her for a split second, but his expression remained inscrutable.
Pansy clapped her hands in delight. "Another party! Oh, I do hope they have that delightful quartet from last time."
Blaise, ever the pragmatist, asked, "And what of security, Draco? With the number of guests. "
Draco cut him off. "I've already increased the wards and have some of the most skilled Death Eaters on guard duty. However, it is essential, especially for Hermione," he added with a pointed look in her direction, "to remain in my chambers during the event. They are the most heavily warded, and given tonight's guest list, it's the safest option."
Hermione swallowed hard, the mention of her safety making her heart race. "You think they would harm me?"
Draco's cold eyes met hers. "In a heartbeat."
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy. Theo broke the silence, trying to lighten the mood. "Well, on the brighter side, this gives us a chance to show off our dancing skills once again."
Pansy giggled, "As long as you promise not to step on my toes like last time, Theo!"
Blaise smirked, "And here I thought that was your signature move, Theo."
The laughter that followed helped to ease some of the tension. But as the meal continued, Hermione couldn't shake off the unease she felt, especially with Draco's chilling warning still ringing in her ears.
As the group dispersed from the dining table, Hermione found herself following Pansy to her chambers. The room was a beautiful blend of muted pastels and elaborate drapery, a stark contrast to the general dark aesthetic of the Malfoy Manor. A massive vanity took up one side of the room, covered in a myriad of makeup products, brushes, and jeweled accessories.
Pansy sat down gracefully in front of the mirror, her fingers deftly reaching for a soft brush to apply a shimmering powder to her face. Hermione watched silently for a moment, admiring the ease and skill with which Pansy transformed herself. The scars of war, the lines of worry, all vanished beneath the subtle artistry of her makeup. It was a kind of magic in and of itself.
Pansy seemed to sense her gaze, because she looked up from the mirror and caught Hermione's reflection. "You know, Granger," she began, her voice softer than usual, "there was a time when all of this," she gestured to her makeup, "was just for fun. Before the war, before everything became so. complicated."
Hermione nodded, her eyes drawn to the delicate pearl necklace Pansy was now fastening around her neck. After a moment's hesitation, she voiced a question "Pansy, do you ever think. do you ever think they'd accept me? As one of their own?"
Pansy froze, her fingers stilling on the clasp of the necklace. The gravity of the question seemed to hang in the air between them. Pansy turned slowly, her dark eyes searching Hermione's, gauging the sincerity behind the inquiry.
For a long moment, Pansy was silent, then she sighed deeply. "Hermione, the Death Eaters, they're not just a group of people. They're an ideology, a belief system. Many of them have been indoctrinated since childhood, raised in families where blood purity was paramount. You. you represent everything they've been taught to despise."
Hermione swallowed hard, feeling a weight settle in her chest. She had known the answer before she'd even asked, but hearing it out loud made it all the more real.
Pansy continued, her voice laced with sadness. "There are those among them who might come to tolerate you, especially if Draco vouches for you. But acceptance? Genuine acceptance? I don't know if that's possible."
Hermione looked down, her fingers playing with the hem of her dress. "Then why am I even here? Why try to fit into a world that will never truly welcome me?"
Pansy reached out, tilting Hermione's chin up so their eyes met. "Because, perhaps in this twisted reality, amidst the chaos and the hatred, there's a chance for understanding. A slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. And sometimes, that's all we can hope for."
The weight of Pansy's words settled between them, both women lost in their thoughts, contemplating the complexities of the world they found themselves in.
The atmosphere in Pansy's room shifted almost immediately as the door creaked open, revealing Draco in his formal Death Eater robes. The dark, intricate patterns seemed to absorb the light from the room, leaving only his piercing silver eyes visible.
Pansy's hands momentarily ceased their movements, hovering over the collection of jeweled hairpins on her vanity. The usual banter between her and Draco was notably absent. Instead, a tense silence filled the room, broken only by the soft rustle of Draco's robes as he moved.
He crossed the room with a purposeful stride, his gaze fixed intently on Hermione. "Granger," he began, his voice devoid of warmth, "it's best if you stay in my room tonight. No matter what you hear or think you see, do not come out."
Hermione frowned, confusion and irritation flaring within her. "Why? What's going on?"
Draco leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper, yet retaining its authoritative edge. "The Death Eaters, as you well know, can be unpredictable. Tonight's celebration is for them, and you being present would not be. advisable."
A hint of defiance sparked in Hermione's eyes. "You can't just lock me away forever, Malfoy."
His gaze hardened, and there was a dangerous undertone to his voice as he responded, "This isn't a request, Granger. It's for your own safety. The less you're seen, the less of a target you become."
Pansy cleared her throat softly, drawing their attention. "Draco's right, Hermione. You might not like it, but it's for the best. We don't know how everyone will react, especially with the heightened emotions after a victory."
Hermione clenched her fists, torn between her desire for autonomy and the understanding that they were genuinely concerned for her well-being. With a reluctant nod, she acquiesced, "Fine. But I expect to be kept in the loop about what's happening."
Draco gave a curt nod, signaling the end of the discussion. "Stay in the room." With that, he held out his arm, indicating for Hermione to proceed ahead of him.
As the two exited the room, Pansy let out a long breath, her eyes shadowed with worry. Tonight's gathering had just added another layer of complication to an already delicate situation.
The walk to Draco's chamber felt much longer than it truly was. The mansion's opulent hallways, which usually radiated a cold beauty, now felt more like a winding maze of potential threats. The air was thick with anticipation, and the soft murmurs of distant conversations acted as a reminder of the impending celebration.
Draco's pace was brisk, his posture rigid. Hermione matched his stride, observing the way his fingers occasionally twitched – a small indication of the tension he felt. She remembered Pansy's words and realized that, for once, Draco's cold demeanor wasn't entirely directed at her; it was a shield, a protective barrier he erected around himself whenever he was on edge.
Reaching his chambers, Draco opened the ornate double doors for Hermione. The room was vast, bathed in soft, muted light. The décor was minimalist compared to the rest of the mansion, yet every piece – from the dark wooden furniture to the strategically placed artifacts – screamed of wealth and power.
Hermione hesitated on the threshold, meeting Draco's eyes. They held a depth she hadn't noticed before, layers upon layers of emotions concealed but not entirely hidden.
"Remember," Draco murmured, his voice softening just a fraction, "stay inside. No matter what."
Hermione nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. "I will. Just. promise me you'll be careful."
There was a brief moment where something unspoken passed between them. Draco's features softened, but only for a fleeting second, before the cold, detached mask was back in place.
His lips curved into a slow, teasing smirk, and he took a deliberate step closer, leaning into her personal space. "Worried for me, Granger?" he murmured, his voice a low, silken caress that made her heart flutter. "How. unexpected. You should know, a king can't be touched in his own castle."
Hermione's eyes glinted with mischief and challenge. Taking a deep breath to steady her racing heart, she replied, "In chess, it's always the queen who has the real power. She can move in any direction and take any piece, including the king."
His smirk grew wider, appreciating her witty retort. "Then let's hope I'm always a move ahead," Draco responded, his eyes never leaving hers.
There was a brief moment where neither said anything, their gazes locked, a dance of dominance and mutual respect playing out silently between them. With a final nod, Draco turned on his heel and left, the soft echo of his footsteps the only reminder of their charged exchange.
The grand hall of the Malfoy Manor was transformed into a shimmering ballroom, illuminated by hundreds of floating candles and luxurious chandeliers. Soft, enchanting melodies wafted through the air as elegantly dressed Death Eaters and their associates waltzed across the polished marble floor.
Draco, standing tall in his dark, ornate robes that signified his rank, mingled effortlessly amongst the crowd. Every now and then, his sharp eyes would dart towards the upper floors, ensuring Hermione remained hidden. But mostly, he was the picture of cool composure, discussing with the inner circle of the Death Eaters.
Blaise, Theo, and Pansy, too, were engaged in conversation with various attendees. The topics of discussion varied, but one topic seemed inescapable: the recent demise of Ginny Weasley.
"It's a significant blow to the Order," remarked one masked figure, swirling his drink. "She was one of their fiercest fighters."
Pansy, nodding in agreement, said, "Indeed. And with Granger running away, it appears their spirit has been significantly dampened."
Blaise's eyes narrowed, "It's strange, isn't it? The Golden Trio's brightest witch running away after the death of one of their own?"
Theo added, "Not just any death – Ginny's death. It must've hit the Order hard. Hermione Granger was close to the Weasleys."
A cold, amused voice interjected their discussion, "She was close to all of them. And now she's vanished into thin air." It was Draco. His eyes were void of any emotion, but a smirk played on his lips.
Pansy noticed Draco's eyes flitting upwards for a moment before refocusing on the group. "The Order must be in chaos without her," she mused.
The general consensus was one of satisfaction. Ginny's death and Hermione's disappearance were seen as major victories for the Death Eaters. The evening continued with an air of celebration and subtle gloating.
Yet, throughout the evening, Draco's demeanor was an enigma. To the outsiders, he seemed triumphant, but his close associates, especially Pansy, could see through the facade. Every time Hermione's supposed "disappearance" was mentioned, a subtle twitch in his jawline betrayed his true feelings.
Hermione sat in Draco's room, feeling the weight of the walls pressing in on her. The grandeur and cold elegance of the place did little to comfort her. Occasionally, she'd hear a faint echo of laughter or the distant strains of music from the ball below, but otherwise, silence pervaded the vast chamber.
She had picked up a book from Draco's collection, trying to distract herself when a sudden gust of wind made her jump. The windows, previously shut, were now open, and standing framed in the moonlight was a tall, dark figure.
The grotesque smirk on Dolohov's face was unmistakable, his eyes reflecting a dark glee. Those same eyes that had once looked at her with such malice and intent in that damp, dimly lit alleyway. His hair, slicked back and greying at the temples, added to his menacing appearance.
As he stepped further into the room, the candlelight caught the sharp contours of his face, revealing the twisted pleasure he took in her fear. His boots echoed softly against the polished wooden floor, and Hermione could hear the soft jingle of metal, probably the dagger he always carried.
"Well, isn't this a surprise? Alone in the lion's den. You must be feeling quite brave. or perhaps very foolish," Dolohov taunted, his voice dripping with mockery.
Her fingers tightened around her wand, her mind racing to remember every defensive spell she knew. She tried to mask her fear with defiance. "What do you want, Dolohov?"
He chuckled, a sound devoid of any warmth. "Isn't it obvious? To finish what was started. But before that, maybe have a bit of. fun," he said, recalling their previous encounter.
Every instinct in her screamed to fight or flee, but her body was paralyzed by the weight of her memories. The pain, the humiliation, the way he had toyed with her, like a cat with a mouse.
"Think of it, Granger," he continued, savoring every word, "You're still not safe from me."
She squared her shoulders, taking a deep breath. "I won't be your plaything again, Dolohov. I'm not the same frightened girl you cornered in that alley."
His laugh was cold and mirthless. "You can't possibly believe that you stand a chance against me."
But as he advanced, a fire burned in Hermione's eyes. She had faced unimaginable horrors and survived. She wouldn't be broken by the likes of him. "Try me."
The atmosphere of Draco's opulent room became thick with tension. It was a chilling contrast: the ornate chandeliers above, the fine silks, the plush carpets below, and in the midst of it all, two determined wizards locked in a duel to the death.
Hermione's heart pounded with a mix of fear and anger. The memories of that fateful night, the sharp edge of Dolohov's voice, the cold laughter that echoed as he toyed with her in that dark alleyway, it all surged back, making her grit her teeth. With all the strength she could muster, she shouted, "Sectumsempra!"
The air crackled as the curse raced towards Dolohov, its deadly intention clear. He barely had time to react, his shield coming up just a fraction too late. The curse left a wicked gash on his cheek, causing dark blood to spill down his face. For a moment, his gray eyes widened in shock, realizing the full extent of Hermione's capabilities.
But Dolohov was no novice. Regaining his footing, he shot back with a deep, guttural voice filled with malicious intent, "Crucio!" The red beam of the curse connected with Hermione. It felt as though hot knives were piercing her skin, as an all-consuming agony took over her entire being. Her mind was thrown into a vortex of torment, memories of past traumas intensifying the pain. The finely woven carpet seemed to dig into her back as she contorted, the edges of her vision blurring with tears.
Above her, the chandelier's lights danced mockingly, shimmering off the lavish gold and silver trinkets in the room, bearing silent witness to the horror unfolding below. The scent of Draco's cologne, which she'd come to find strangely comforting, was now drowned out by the metallic tang of blood and the acrid stench of burnt fabric from stray spells.
Dolohov towered over Hermione, his bloodied face contorted into a sickening grin, the gash she'd given him only serving to enhance the malevolence in his gaze.
"Look at you, all sprawled out and helpless. Seems just like old times, doesn't it, mudblood?" he sneered, using the derogatory term with relish. The coldness in his eyes was evident as he studied her struggling form.
Pushing a strand of her wild, curly hair from her face with a mocking tenderness, he continued, "Do you remember our last little rendezvous? I've missed our games." His voice dripped with venom, each word purposely designed to invoke terror.
Hermione could taste the metallic flavor of fear in her mouth but refused to let it conquer her. Every muscle in her body tensed, memories of that terrible night in the alleyway threatening to drown her, but she fought against the tide, against his words. Despite the pain, the trauma, and the fear, there was a fire inside her that Dolohov couldn't extinguish. She wouldn't be his victim again.
Downstairs, in the midst of whispered conversations and the elegant sway of dancers, a faint but noticeable shimmer alerted Draco to the disturbance. The meticulously constructed wards he had placed around his room were designed to alert him of even the slightest intrusion, and they now pulsated in alarm. He felt it – a tug at the core of his being – a sensation that something was terribly amiss.
Without a moment's hesitation, he rose from his seat, his silver-grey eyes darkening with urgency. The pleasant facade he had carefully crafted for the night's attendees crumbled as a storm of concern and anger took over.
Blaise, noticing Draco's abrupt change in demeanor, grabbed his arm, asking, "What's going on? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"The wards," Draco muttered tersely, pushing past him and making a beeline for the grand staircase. The urgency in his stride caused a ripple of unease among a few of the Death Eaters present, who watched him with sharp, calculating eyes.
The heavy wooden door to Draco's room stood imposingly at the end of the corridor. As he reached it, Draco didn't even bother with the doorknob. With a swift, powerful movement of his wand, he blasted the door off its hinges, revealing a scene that ignited a firestorm of fury within him.
Dolohov, with his greasy hair and smug, malicious grin, was pinning a struggling Hermione to the ground. The predatory glint in Dolohov's eyes was unmistakable, and Hermione's face was a mask of terror and defiance.
For a split second, the room seemed suspended in time. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, Draco launched himself at Dolohov with a wrath that seemed almost superhuman. Every ounce of his training, every duel he'd ever been in, everything came rushing back to him in that moment. But this was no ordinary duel. This was personal.
Dolohov, taken aback by the sudden intrusion and the sheer force of Draco's anger, was on the defensive immediately. But he was a seasoned Death Eater and fought back with a viciousness of his own. Spells flew back and forth, the room alight with flashes of green, red, and blue. Furniture was destroyed, artifacts shattered.
But for Draco, the world had narrowed down to Dolohov and the burning need to protect Hermione. He dodged a Killing Curse by mere inches, and with a fierce cry, unleashed a barrage of spells that had Dolohov stumbling backward.
Every step he took seemed to reverberate with anger. His usually immaculate platinum blond hair was in disarray, but his eyes – those were the most chilling. They were the cold, hard eyes of a predator. A wolf, cornering its prey.
"You chose the wrong room, Antonin. The wrong witch," Draco sneered, his voice colder than the harshest of winter nights.
Dolohov, looking up, took a moment to gauge the situation. In a cruel attempt at humor, he said, "Has she seduced you, Malfoy? Used her charms to bind you to her?" His laughter was cut short as Draco's hand shot out, closing around Dolohov's throat.
"Every word you speak only seals your fate," Draco growled, the rage in his voice barely contained.
Dolohov, struggling for breath, managed a wicked grin. "She's ensnared you, hasn't she? Wrapped you around her little finger. Or maybe she offered other. persuasions? Everything is golden with the Golden Girl isn't it? Including her cunt" His eyes raked over Hermione suggestively, attempting to provoke Draco further.
For in that moment, something in Draco snapped. His fury became a tangible force. No longer content to merely hold Dolohov by the throat, he brought his other hand up, his fingers digging deep into Dolohov's chest.
Dolohov's face contorted in shock and pain, his eyes bulging. His feeble attempts to break free were futile. Draco's strength was otherworldly, fueled by rage and protective instincts.
The room was filled with the sickening sound of tearing flesh and Dolohov's desperate gasps for air. And then, with a final, visceral yank, Draco pulled Dolohov's still-beating heart from his chest.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still. Draco stood there, heart in hand, blood dripping down his fingers, his expression one of raw intensity. The look in his eyes was not of triumph, but of grim determination and the weight of responsibility – responsibility for what he had done, and for the woman he had protected.
The echo of Dolohov's final, strangled scream still seemed to resonate in the room. His body hit the ornate carpet with a muted thud, darkening it with the pooling blood. The silence that followed was thick, filled with the weight of the moment, before it was abruptly broken by the rapid footsteps echoing from the hallway.
The door burst open again, revealing Blaise and Theo, both panting heavily, clearly having raced up the stairs at the sound of the struggle. The scene that met their eyes was horrific: Draco, standing in the middle of the room, hands covered in blood, Dolohov's heart still clenched in his fist, and Hermione, on the ground, her face pale but her eyes defiant, a testament to the strength she'd summoned against her attacker.
Blaise's dark eyes widened, darting between the body on the floor and the haunting figure of Draco. "Merlin's beard, Draco. what did you do?" he breathed.
Theo, ever the calmer one, seemed more focused on Hermione. He took a cautious step towards her, reaching out a tentative hand. "Granger, are you alright?"
Draco, still standing in his grim tableau, seemed to snap back to reality at Theo's words. He dropped the heart with a wet thud, blood staining his pale fingers, as his gray eyes locked onto Hermione. The walls he'd built, the icy demeanor, seemed to shatter for a moment, replaced by genuine concern.
Blaise, despite his initial shock, was quick to action. "We need to get rid of the body," he stated urgently. "And clean this place up. There are Death Eaters downstairs. If they hear of this, it will be a massacre."
Theo nodded in agreement, but his eyes never left Hermione, as if trying to assess the damage Dolohov had done before his abrupt end. "She needs to be checked over, and Draco, you. You need to clean up."
Draco simply nodded, his gaze still fixed on Hermione, the weight of the situation pressing heavily on him. The evening's events had taken an unforeseen turn, but amidst the chaos, one thing was clear: the lines had been drawn, and loyalties, whether by choice or circumstance, were becoming evident.
Hermione's trembling fingers clutched the folds of her dress as she tried to find her footing, the remnants of Dolohov's torment still fresh in her mind. Theo noticed her struggle and quickly moved closer, wrapping a supportive arm around her waist to steady her.
"We need to get you to your room," he murmured softly, guiding her towards the door.
As they walked through the ornate hallways, Hermione's mind raced. Her eyes flitted nervously to each shadow, half expecting another assailant to jump out. The adrenaline and fear were battling in her system, making it difficult to think clearly. And in the midst of it all, one particular thought nagged at her.
"Where's Pansy?" Hermione finally managed to ask, her voice shaking slightly.
Theo glanced down at her, his brow creasing with concern. "She's downstairs, covering for us. Trust Pansy to be quick on her feet. She'll distract the other Death Eaters and keep them away from this mess."
Hermione nodded, taking a shaky breath. It was disorienting, how quickly allegiances could shift and morph in this treacherous world they were all trapped in. Just days ago, she would have considered Pansy an enemy. Now, she was their saving grace.
Meanwhile, back in Draco's room, the scene was grim. Blaise and Draco were working quickly, coordinating their efforts to move Dolohov's lifeless body. Despite the gravity of the situation, there was a silent understanding between them, a bond formed through years of fighting side by side.
Blaise used his wand to levitate the body, while Draco worked on cleaning up the blood-soaked carpet. The two worked in tandem, their movements precise and efficient, a testament to their years of training and countless encounters with dangerous situations.
"I'll take him to the forest," Blaise said, his voice low. "There's a spot deep within, where no one goes. We can bury him there."
Draco nodded, wiping the last of the blood from his hands. "Make it quick. We don't have much time."
Blaise gave a curt nod, disappearing with Dolohov's body in tow. The room, now devoid of any evidence of the night's violence, felt hauntingly empty.
Draco stood in the center, the weight of the evening's events pressing heavily upon him. He had faced countless enemies before, but this. This felt different. He wasn't just protecting his interests or his mission. Tonight, he had protected Granger, and that realization sent a shiver down his spine.
Draco leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper, yet retaining its authoritative edge. "The Death Eaters, as you well know, can be unpredictable. Tonight's celebration is for them, and you being present would not be. advisable."
