She looked into his stormy gray eyes and gave him a dazzling smile. “I love you too Draco”. He leaned up on his elbows and studied her, he was worried he had sullied her somehow and robbed her of her innocence, but she remained the same bright eyed and curious beauty she had always been. He moved to unsheathe himself from her but she enclosed him between her thighs by wrapping her legs tighter around him. “You feel so… strange on the inside of me,” she said as she wiggled her hips.

“I’m not hurting you am I?” he asked nervously. “No! Quite the opposite, I love you inside me, it feels so good, I’ve never felt anything like this before.” He relished the feel of her soft slick folds enveloping him as he quietly stared down at her. She was exploring him with her eyes, hands, womb and heart and he had never felt more head over heels. She was tracing his lips with her fingers and he gave them a gentle kiss. He could feel her contracting around him and he seated his flaccid cock deeper into her.

He cupped her face in his hands and his eyes bore into hers “Pandora, I’m in love with you, you’ve just given me the greatest gift I’ve ever received in my life. I can give you anything you want, I’ll never stray, and I’ll always love you. I want you for mine, and I’ll kill any man that touches you…I’m giving you the choice now to walk away from me. I should warn you, I’m jealous, stubborn, and possessive, and I won’t share you with anyone else. I can’t go back after this, and I won’t have my heart ripped out knowing you won’t have me and only me, so take me or leave me now”. She studied his stern expression and felt a little intimidated by his piercing gaze.

She knew he was violent and jealous and would be impatient with her, but she had never been so forcefully drawn to anyone like this before. She couldn’t get enough of the image of his body above hers, gently joining his body with hers with such care and love, if he was capable of such love than nothing else mattered she reasoned. “I’ll only have one lover, I’ll only have you,” she pledged to him. He didn’t give her time to change her mind or utter another word before he claimed her lips in a powerful kiss. He slipped his family ring off his fingers and gently slipped it onto her finger, it was far too big for her so she wrapped her fingers around it to keep it in place.

“Thank you, but what does it mean to give me this ring?” she asked. “I don’t really know, I just felt like doing it… I know it’s too big. I’ll get you a necklace to put it on.” She twirled it around her finger in the sunlight that poked through the rain clouds. He gently gripped her hips and unsheathed himself from her. She let out a little whimper of pain and her eyes went wide when she saw the trace of blood on both their bodies. She looked at him questioningly and he spelled away the blood quickly and tugged her up on her feet. “The blood is from when I opened you, I’m sure you’re a little sore…” he said as she wrapped her hand in his. “A little” she admitted to him. He gently swept his hand across her lower abdomen “I have an idea to make you feel better” he said with a wink.

The pair dressed and Draco snuck them into his bedroom. He guided her into the bathroom and filled the enormous bathtub up with steamy water and bubbles. The hot water loosened up all the tension in her muscles and took away the soreness. He made love to her several times in the bath that night until she fell against his chest in exhaustion.

“Pandora… this might sound crazy, but I knew I recognized you somehow… you’re the mermaid in the stained glass window aren’t you?” he said as he nodded towards the window. She looked up at the image of her mother in the window; she was splashing her tail in the water and winked down at her. Pandora let out a gasp “Oh Draco… it’s my mum! Uncle must have charmed the window!” Draco looked up at the stunning mermaid while he held his own mermaid on his lap “she’s beautiful… just like you.” “She’s more beautiful in real life” she said as a tear streaked down her cheek.

“I’d love to meet your mum, and no more tears… we should get to bed, it’s getting late, sleep with me in my bed tonight?” he asked eagerly. “Am I allowed?” “I deserve that for dating a Gryffindor… well nobody has to know, please?” he said as he kissed her shoulder. “I don’t want to make uncle any angrier… you remember last time” she said nervously.

He picked her up and spelled her dry before he threw her onto his bed and pounced on top of her. “Draco…” she protested between his eager kisses. “ I’ll send an owl to your uncle ok?” She gave him a suspicious look under heavy eyelids. He grudgingly crawled off her and scribbled a fast note to Hermione.

Pandora is spending the night with me, she’s safe, – if you rat I’ll kill your cat.

He strapped the note to his owl and it rushed out of the window. He swaggered back to his bed with a smirk across his face at how clever his note was. He was rubbing his hands together in anticipation of feasting them on her body. His eyes raked over her pale skin glowing in the moonlight, and his heart melted at how angelic she looked. She was completely passed out on his bed and he was just happy to have her there.

He crawled under the covers next to her and covered her up. He watched her sleep as he stroked her hair. She shivered and he drew her closer to him, wrapping the covers up higher over them. She nuzzled into him and wrapped herself around him. “Goodnight love” he said before he kissed the top of her head.


Hermione crumpled the note up and chucked it in the bin next to her bed. She was exasperated at Pandora but knew she was old enough to make her own decisions by now.
Hermione knew Harry would be up waiting for Pandora, so she slipped down to the common room and told him about the note. Harry didn’t take the news too well but grudgingly went to bed.

The next morning Pandora and Draco tugged at each other in the Great Hall towards their own house tables. Draco was stronger and all but dragged her through a group of scared looking first years. Pandora waved cheerfully over to the Gryffindor trio before taking a seat between Draco and Blaise Zabini. “I have to hand it to you Draco, you’ve got brass ones bringing her over here again” drawled Blaise. Draco followed Blaise’s gaze and rested on Pansy’s irate face. “If anyone has a problem with my girlfriend Blaise they can take it up with me” Draco’ eyes flashed in warning. Blaise simply gave Pandora an appraising look and went back to his breakfast.

Crabbe and Goyle kept staring at Pandora with lustful smirks and Draco kicked them hard under the table. Pansy tried to hide the look of pure hatred as she gossiped with Millicent over breakfast. Pandora admired the book Blaise was reading and the pair discussed vampires at length all through breakfast. Draco was annoyed at her sudden interest in Blaise but was still amazed at how a Gryffindor could blend in with a house full of Slytherin’s. Draco let a satisfied grin spread across his lips as Pandora slipped her hand in his and kissed his cheeks several times through breakfast. He distinctly heard Theo Nott mutter, “get a room” under his breath as he passed. Draco just smirked at the rest of his house, he had the girl of his dreams and was not fussed about what the rest of the snake pit thought.

Draco found himself surrounded by Gryffindors for the better part of the day; Pandora just seemed to attract them to her. He almost felt sorry for Neville Longbottom whenever Pandora talked to him, he would stutter madly and go crimson. Draco knew what it was like to be a fool for her, but knew Longbottom had no confidence in himself and was not use to talking to beautiful girls. To Draco’s horror Pandora seemed to seek Longbottom out, she said it was because he seemed lonely. Neville nearly had a heart attack during Herbology because of Pandora. She got her arm trapped in the mouth of a giant Venus flytrap and Neville was there to save the day. Pandora grabbed him up in bear hug once her arm was free and Neville nearly fainted when she pecked his cheek.

Draco felt odd at how he could hold his tongue around the Gryffindorks. When he was with Pandora, nothing else seemed to really matter. Draco liked to watch her mostly, the way she could get wrapped up in new “discoveries”, her face would light up at the simplest of things, like the way rainbows would appear after the rain or if she talked to a new portrait that day.

Draco could not help but spoil her; he was constantly buying her something, but noticed that she reacted the same way to every gift. He knew to her, his family ring she wore on a chain around her neck meant the same as the magnets she still loved to play with. They studied together, ate together and nearly had every class together, yet Draco never got tired of the constant questions she threw at him. His heart would swell when he spotted her in the stands at his Quidditch practices and he would always take her flying afterwards, no matter how tired he was.

The weekend approached quickly and Draco could not bring himself to leave the castle. It was the first Hogsmeade weekend and she would be with Potter, like she had promised. He didn’t fully trust Harry but knew Gryffindors were entirely too honorable for their own good and she would at least be safe. He desperately wanted to know more about her, she was still closed lipped about her home, but he got the rough idea that she was glad to be away from there, though she missed her mother greatly. Draco found himself researching mermaids in the library and was surprised at how much he already knew just by knowing Pandora. He was a little alarmed to find that mermaids were notorious for being able to seduce wizards and muggles and then leading them to a watery grave.

He was ashamed to admit he thought for a brief moment she was seducing him to kill him, she had saved him in many ways, and he knew he loved her. He struggled with the idea that she was part fish; his parents would never accept her he thought darkly. He began to devise a plan to fool his parents into thinking she was just another pureblood when he soon realized she would be back soon.

He ran down to the gates of Hogwarts to wait for her to get back, he had a package of sweets from home in his hand and planned to eat them off her that night if he was lucky. He didn’t have to wait long till he spotted her blazing hair, he quickly whisked her away from the Golden Trio once they got into the castle. She had an armful of packages from various stores and she had a worn out expression on her face. Draco took the packages from her and slipped quietly into his room.

“Uncle told me to get some things for school and Hermione seemed to think these would be helpful” she said as she heaved a large bundle of books onto Draco’s desk. Draco laid back on his bed, tearing open the package of sweets he got from home. “Harry bought me these, I’m not sure how you’re supposed to eat them though” she said as she removed a handful of lollipops from a bag. Draco eyed the Harry-bought candy with distaste and sat up on his bed. “I have something sweet for you too” he said sulkily.

She crawled up next to him on the bed and started unwrapping the lollipop. “These are not pleasant to bite” her voice muffled by the sucker. Draco watched her try to bite the sucker off its stick before he grabbed it off her. “Here… don’t bite it. Just suck on it,” he said as he popped the lollipop into her mouth. His mind filled with lurid visions of her mouth on his cock and felt himself grow hard at the sight of her lips wrapped around the cherry lollipop. He suddenly pulled the lollipop from her mouth and licked her lips, tasting the cherry taste on them. He put the lollipop on his nightstand and reached for his box of chocolates from home.
