Draco Malfoy

Since the war and the fall of the great Voldemort, all known death eaters and those who were associated with the rise of the dark lord were now either in Azkaban or were on house arrest. Since everyone knew the Malfoy's were one of Voldemort's best allies, we were graced with house arrest instead of an unfortunate kiss from a dementor and being thrown in a hole for the rest of our lives thanks to the 'great' Potter.

Though I hate him and will forever wish death upon the insufferable boy-who-refused-to-die, I do thank my lucky stars that he has a weak conscience. Since being rudely woken up this morning by my impolite mother, it was demanded that I was to go to the Ministry and talk to some guy about our little housing situation.

I knew my best mate, Blaise, worked for the ministry and I decided I would pay him a short visit beforehand. Even after the war, I had made sure I didn't lose contact with him since he was always the only one who bothered to care. After I declared myself a death eater, Parkinson had run off scared. Lucky for me, it is Blaise that the clingy witch wants. But I'm happy for them, not only does it mean I'm a free man but I'm glad that one of the only persons who I even remotely cared about is finally happy.

Even at Hogwarts, I had an interest in someone but it would have never worked out. I forced myself to not think twice about her, instead, I called her every name under the sun that I was adamant would hurt her. It never made me feel good whenever the wretched word left my mouth, it never built my already large ego but it was easier to pretend to hate her then to acknowledge my feelings.

Muttering and cursing my mother to the depths of hell, I decided I should get up and get ready for the scheduled meeting. I should at least look presentable considering they hadn't thrown my sorry ass into Azkaban, I jumped into the shower and quickly washed up.

After I was deemed clean, I made my way back into my room and pulled on some silk black boxers. Adding a slick black suit with a silver tie to complete the look, I pulled on my black dress shoes and apparated to the ministry. I landed on Blaise's floor and instantly found myself walking down the familiar doorway, I noticed one of the many doors that were usually closed, was open. I walked past it like I didn't whenever I would visit Blaise, only sparing a glance into the unfamiliar room, until my head did a double take.

I stopped in my tracks as I witnessed the estranged Granger staring at herself in the mirror, I had to stop my eyes bulging from my head as I took in her appearance. Her work attire clung to her curves perfectly, her hair was done up elegantly with a few random pieces left out and her face wore minimal makeup, she had always been attractive but maturing really did wonders to her.

I smirked as I moved my body toward the open door, pressing it against the doorframe. I took in the appearance in front of me, licking my lips I let out a slight cough. Granger's head whipped around faster than what any normal persons would have, her doe-like eyes landing on me.

"You know Granger, if you didn't want to be interrupted whilst checking yourself out, maybe you should have closed the door" I chuckled at her puzzled expression, her mouth opened slightly but no words came out, only to close it a moment later. I couldn't help laughing slightly as I noticed she started to resemble a fish.

"But then again, if I looked nearly as good as you did in that snug little outfit of yours, I would want others to know too" I felt my smirk grow, the look on her face was priceless. She still hadn't said anything, if I knew it was going to be this easy to get a laugh out of her, I would have toyed with her ages ago.

"Malfoy." Her breath was raggered and her chest was visibly heaving, I pushed myself off the doorframe and began to take long, slow strides toward the now pretty lady. I stopped walking just as I was in front of her, light pants were softly hitting my face and I could smell the mild scent of mint and caffeine.

"Granger, if you were always this good looking in school, perhaps I wouldn't have hated you as much" I managed to have backed her up against her office wall and I had placed each of my hands on either side of her head, I brought my lips up to her ear as I whispered the words only we could hear. I trailed my right hand down past her hair and ghosted it over her bare shoulder, goosebumps were made visible as I watched her body react to my touch.

"What's wrong? I couldn't get you to shut up at all in school and now you won't even say a word? That's not like you, open that pretty mouth of yours" by this time I had trailed my hand back to her face, my thumb tracing over her bottom lip. My own short puffs of breath were now hitting her face and I once again smirked as her breathing became faster, liking the effect I had on the fragile girl in my grasp.

I let out a chuckle as she finally pulled away from my hold, distancing herself from me I heard her mutter something but I didn't take note of what it was. Teasing her was fun, it riled me up in a way I wasn't familiar with. It was exciting.

A firm "Get out." was heard, my eyes locked with deep brown ones before I shook my head from side to side. Smirking, I watched the unimpressed look make its way onto the usually content woman's face.

"I was just on my way out, actually" before she had time to react, I had extended my arm out to grasp her nearby warm cup of coffee. I brought the lid to my lips and took a gulp, slowly licking the drop that made its way onto the corner of my mouth. Sighing in satisfaction as I brought the cup back onto her dark desk, I began to make my way out of her office.

"And don't worry Granger, I won't tell anyone about your little perving" I dropped my eye in a wink and began to leave down the hallway, I let out a chuckle as I heard a frustrated groan leave the girl's mouth.

I made my way to Blaise's office and strolled in, making sure to remind myself to pay my new friend a visit on my way out.
