“close your eyes, I have something better than those lollipops” he wanted to sheathe himself in her mouth right then and there but didn’t want to startle her. He brought a chocolate covered cherry to her lips and on his command she opened her mouth. “mmm… what is this?” she asked as her bright brown eyes flashed open. “there from home, chocolate covered cherries” he said with a broad grin. She fed him a cherry and he sucked on her fingers as he deftly shifted his weight on top of her. She opened her mouth to say something but he popped another cherry in her mouth and watched her suck on his fingers.

He slowly began to unbutton her shirt and kissed his way down her stomach. “I have to be at Hagrid’s soon Draco” she said simply. He let out a loud groan as his head rested on her chest. “don’t go… make up an excuse…I missed you, I haven’t seen you all day and your talking about seeing that ogre”. He said nastily into her chest. “DON’T call him that, he’s a good friend of mine now and I won’t have you insulting him… he’s got enough problems” she chided. “He’s a nutter Pandora, always pushing dangerously wild animals on us… doesn’t know his own strength… please don’t go?” he implored.

“you can come with me!” she said brightly as she tried to button up her shirt as he tried to unbutton it. “I had another idea of coming… the kind that entails your legs wrapped around my neck” he said with a half grin. “we can do that later, I promised Hagrid” she whined. “you have to promise me then too… promise you’ll let me do whatever I want to you when you get back” he said silkily. “I promise… to consider letting you do whatever you want once you explain what it is first” she said quickly. “than I won’t let you up from the bed until you agree I get to do whatever I want” he threatened. “fine… I’ll let you do whatever you want, now can I go?” He begrudgingly watched her leave his room, watching her hips sway and her long legs stroll out of the room.

The second she left he brought himself to climax thinking of things he wanted to do to her. He gave her an hour at Hagrid’s before he begrudgingly strolled down to Hagrid’s hut. He rapped on the door quickly and listened intently as Hagrid’s thundering footsteps came close to the door. He heard tapping at the window and saw Pandora’s beaming face there, waving heartily at him. The door swung open and he was staring up into Hagrid’s narrowed beady black eyes.

“What are you snooping around here for Malfoy?” Hagrid growled. “I’ve come to collect Pandora” he said firmly. “Can he come in for a bit?” it was Pandora’s voice, muffled by the giant form of Hagrid. “Pandora… wha? Malfoy? Why would ya wan’ to see him for?” Hagrid said incredulously down to the red head.

“Hagrid, Draco is my boyfriend, don’t worry Uncle knows… sort of” she said as she studied the floor. Draco shifted his weight impatiently as he glared past Hagrid. “Ready to go?” he asked her. Hagrid made a growl of protest but Pandora ambled past him and took Draco’s hand. “I’m warnin’ ya Malfoy, you hurt one hair on this girls head and you’ll wish you’d never been born!” Hagrid threatened.

Before Draco could retort Pandora had a hold of one of Hagrid’s massive arms in a bear hug “Draco wouldn’t dream of it Hagrid, I’ll see you all tomorrow! I can’t wait for tomorrows lesson! Bye!” she said cheerfully as Draco led her by the hand from the hut.

When Draco drug her into his room he pounced on her immediately. His mouth latched onto hers and his hands roamed her body hungrily, divesting her of all her clothes. “Do you remember what you promised me before you left?” he purred into her ear. She nodded slowly against the pillow while her eyes searched his “I gave it a lot of thought while you were gone… and I realized that there would really only be one thing I’d ever want from you” he said as he cupped her face in his hands. “What is it Draco, your making me anxious” she said with a light laugh. He crushed his lips onto hers and she felt hard metal hit her tongue, he slipped the ring into her mouth and she pulled it out of her mouth, staring at it in awe. “I want to make you my bride”

She could hear her own pulse pounding in her ears and felt his heart beating wildly against her own. She hadn’t expected this in the least and his gaze was so determined it put her in a daze. “I…I” she stammered, her eyes were suddenly stinging with tears. The ring had a dazzling silver band with a single diamond that was flanked by two pearls, the diamond seemed to create it’s own light source. “We have a ton of obstacles to overcome before we get married, but all I want is you… nothing else matters” he whispered into her ear as he slipped the ring on her finger.

The tears poured down her face and she felt her shoulders shaking, his warm weight seemed to be the only thing tangible to her in that moment. “Draco, I llove you so much.. but If I mmary you I might never sssee my mother again” she sobbed into his shoulder. “Why do you say that?” he said as he took her in his arms. “Your family won’t accept who I am… and my mother would be punished if I married a wizard…I’m sorry Draco” she said softly.

He held her in his arms for what felt like an eternity. Just feeling her heart beat against his was filling him with enough hope for the both of them. “Pandora… if we weren’t in the same situation… would you marry me then?”. She studied his face in the semi darkness “Yes” she said with a light kiss. She fell asleep against his chest and he admired the gleaming diamond on her finger as his eyes started to grow heavy. He had a lot of work ahead of him, but if this was even a fraction of what it would be like to have her as his wife, he was willing to risk anything.
=============================================================

To Draco’s distress Pandora started visiting Hagrid with the Golden Trio more often, he hated the idea of her hanging around with the half giant and always tried to talk her out of it or distract her.

Pandora had taken a great liking to Hagrid, which was evident in their Care of Magical Creatures class. Draco knew this was her favorite class and watched how beautiful she looked as she skipped down the hill to Hagrid’s hut. Draco had been waiting for her and grimaced when he saw the Golden Trio trailing behind her.

Pandora spotted Draco instantly by the sun shinning off his white blonde head. She planted two quick kisses on his cheeks and beamed up at him. “Hagrid told me what the lesson for today is, I can’t wait!” she whispered excitedly. “teachers pet” he teased as he patted her ass. He heard Hermione tut her tongue in disapproval and he turned to sneer at her. He turned his attention back to Pandora and watched intently as she craned her neck to peak around Hagrid’s cabin, her face grew luminescent to his eyes and he followed her gaze. Hagrid was guiding out what looked like a panther with large black feathered wings and huge fangs.

“it’s a saber, look!” she said as she shook his arm excitedly. The rest of the class took a step back as Pandora took a step forward. “oh sweet Merlin” Draco muttered under his breath, he was afraid his girlfriend would soon be this beasts lunch as he watched her cautiously move closer to Hagrid and the saber.

Hagrid tethered the cat with large heavy chains to a steel post embedded in the ground. “Now careful Pandora, he can be a bit moody at times, open your hands palms up before you come closer” Hagrid instructed. Pandora nervously showed the saber her hands and moved closer. The saber tilted its head to the side to appraise the red head advancing toward him and when she was within arms reach the great cat rubbed the sides of its face against her body and purred loudly, much like a housecat.

During the lesson, no other student could even approach the saber and it took to being protective of Pandora. When Harry slowly approached to pet the great cat it let out a threatening hiss when he rested his hand on the small of Pandora’s back. Hagrid let Pandora coax the saber back into it’s large pen and it curled up and let out a thunderous purr as she petted it through the bars of its cage.

Later that day Draco had been looking for Pandora for some time, she wasn’t in the Library and when he asked the portrait of the Fat Lady if she was in the Towers she gave him a flirty wink and told him no, but she’d be happy to entertain him till she came back. He politely refused, hiding the disgust in his voice.

For a horrifying moment he thought of her gliding through the air on the back of that winged beast from class, but he saved that for a worst case scenario.
Draco walked down to the Dungeons when he heard Pansy shrieking, her shrill voice echoing off the dungeons walls. He was on his way to his room after Charms when his heart dropped when he saw that Pansy had Pandora pushed against the wall.

Though Pandora was much taller than Pansy, the pug faced girl was shaking with rage. Pansy was pulling on her school uniform, and screaming into her beautiful face.

Pandora looked petrified and tried pushing her away. But Pansy would be right back on her. "what's a bloody Gryffindor doing down HERE? your looking for HIM aren’t you? well he's not here so you can just stop pining over him, its pathetic!"

Draco had a pretty good idea of who Pansy was talking about but was glued to his spot, all thoughts leaving his mind.

Pansy was leering at her "why would he want anything to do with you anyways? you don't belong here, word of advice bitch, don't go near him again if you know what’s good for you!"

Pandora had steeled herself against Pansy and pushed her off of her, Pansy fell back on her ass with a thud. "you can’t threaten me little girl” Pandora said in a huff as she proudly walked away. Pansy had jumped from the ground and caught her by the arm. Pansy pulled back her hand to slap Pandora but was drug back by Draco. He pulled the girl off of her but Pansy had grabbed hold of Pandora’s beautiful strings of pearls.

Draco watched as they flashed in the dim torch light of the dungeon, they scattered everywhere Pandora gasped loudly and felt her neck to trap some of the pearls from falling He could see the tears brimming in her eyes. She fell to the floor in a heap, her hands grasping for the pearls but there were far too many to catch , Pansy gaped dumbstruck at Draco.

"Draco! what are you doing here?" Pansy simpered. "If you don't get out of here right now I’ll manage to get you expelled Parkinson" Pansy gave him a fearful look and skitted off to another part of the dungeons. Pandora dashed to her grotto and slammed the door, she grabbed a little pouch she had and poured her few remaining pearls into a little velvet pouch she kept in the grotto, that now held all that existed of her life in the Irish Sea.

The necklace was priceless and Poseidon's Pearls were rare, more rare than most any jewel or diamond because they were said to be from Poseidon himself

She tore her school uniform off and jumped into the water and swam to the bottom of the deep grotto. She let herself sink to the bottom of the grotto and cried her eyes out. The Pearls were her mothers and the only thing that gave her much comfort when she was homesick, aside from the company of Draco and her new friends.

She heard a low dull thudding of someone pounding on the door to her portal . She was pulled out of her slump by the pounding on her grotto door. She crept up to the portal and wondered who or what could possible know about this door. She wheeled the door open and was met with a giant eye ball staring back at her. She recoiled at first but recognized it as a giant squid. It was listening to her crying and had come to comfort her, it snaked a giant tentacle in and stroked her hair.

Draco had collected all of the pearls, painstakingly searching each one out on the floor, his spell to accio them ended with a very painful pelting of pearls. He had gathered them up and knocked on the grotto door, since this was the direction she had ran to.

He slumped against the door and slid to the floor. He was getting worn out by everything lately. He was worn out from trying to protect her from the
rest of Hogwarts, the Slytherins and even some of the Gryffindors. The male population tried to trick her into their bed while the female population tried to jinx her into oblivion out of jealousy.

He sat there with her pearls in his lap, figuring he could bide his time, she had to come out of there sometime. "Pandora, I've got the rest of your pearls," He didn’t even hear the lap of the water as he pressed his ear against the door.

"we can string them back together" he called again. He knocked on the door with the back of his head in frustration. "your welcome" he called out to her.

She was petting the squid who was rocking her back and forth in his giant arm. She noticed that the squid would place little gifts at her portal, she knew it had to be this creature, he had been quite taken with her.

She tickled the tentacles gently and the squid gargled in joy. The squid picked her up and placed her on the ledge of her grotto. She heard Draco's pounding on the door earlier but just assumed he had left. She felt a little guilty but she needed a little tenderness right now. She stroked the squids tentacle absently in a circular motion, enjoying the feel of the smooth flesh. The squid let out a loud moan that echoed through the grotto and surely all the dungeons. She laughed at the reaction, squids tentacles were very sensitive.

She rested the tentacle on her golden lap and petted her new friend lovingly.
The squid snaked its tentacle up to her bare breasts and latched onto her, she squeaked at the sudden contact. The strong sucker brought her nipples to hard peaks within seconds. Another sucker went to her well hidden mermaid nether regions that made her back arch.

Draco shot up when he heard the whale like moan and it was coming from behind her door. He thought of the water and what creatures could possibly live in there, after all the beast guarding the chamber of secrets had been a giant three headed dog.


He tried the lock and tried to spell the door open in vain, he crashed into the door, with the pearls bundled into his robes.His eyes went wide with the horror
He screeched her name and spilled her pearls all over the grotto. He was too stunned and scared to think about the pearls now.

He looked into her eyes, they were half lidded with pleasure and she was flashing her fins at an obscene rate. "Merlin what are you doing?!!" he bellowed.

She gripped onto the squid and before Draco knew the squid was dragging her back under the water. Draco aimed his wand and scorched a tentacle of the squid and a horrible bellow erupted from the Squid. "NO Draco!" she screamed as Draco yanked her out of the water by her arms. “get off me!” she protested as her fins flopped on the hard pavement.

“he was going to hurt you!” he tried to reason with her. He gripped her around her waist and tried to restrain her from going back into the water where the squid could get her. “if you don’t release me now I’ll… I’ll drown you!” she said as her fins slapped at Draco’s shins. He let out a mocking laugh and drug her father back from the water. Suddenly her fins turned into shapely legs and Draco felt her foot connect with his balls and he felt the breath being knocked out of him.

She wriggled out his death grip and dashed back into the water. He crawled into the fetal position and stared at the surface of the water. He saw her gracefully swim to the surface of the water and she treaded water and watched him warily.

“I’ve healed the damage you’ve done to the squid… you shouldn’t interfere with things you don’t understand” she said slowly. “try healing the damage you did me” he groaned into the floor. She eyed him sympathetically and got out of the water to kneel beside him. He recoiled when he felt her delicate hands reach for his belt. He grabbed her wrist and stared up into her big innocent brown eyes. “I was joking” he breathed. She didn’t heed his words and felt him through the fabric of his pants. He let out a soft moan and pulled her on top of him. “give me the cure for trying to resist you” he said as he wrapped his arms around her.

Her hair and body were dripping wet and was soaking through his clothes but he didn’t seem to notice. “I haven’t forgiven you yet, so don’t try to be all cute with me” she warned. “you have to see my point, it looked like that squid was attacking you or… raping you”. “Their tentacles are very sensitive and are pleasured easily… and it wasn’t rape” she explained casually. “oh how silly of me, I’ve only been beating off all the other blokes in the school with a stick only to find out my real competition is a giant squid” he said darkly.

“He’s my friend, but I shouldn’t have been surprised because you hate all my friends anyways” she said as she pulled herself away from him. “look I’m sorry for boiling your giant calamari friend, but don’t make me out to be a monster here”. She got up from him dove into the water only to resurface minutes later.

“Chew this” she said as she stuffed a slimy green ball that resembled worms into his hand. “what is it?” he said with a look of extreme disgust. “It’s gillyweed, your going to help me find the rest of my pearls to make it up to me” she said hotly.
He tossed the wad of green slimy weed into his mouth and grimaced at her. She heard him take a huge swallow and smiled down at him.

“thank you, I’ll see you down there”. He felt a burning sting on the sides of his neck and his fingers felt at his newly formed gills, his hand and feet became webbed and he stared at them in horror. He was uncomfortable with the idea of swimming nude in a strange grotto, but felt oddly compelled to strip his clothes off before jumping into the water He gave in and dove in naked as the day he was born. He quickly followed her lead and managed to pick almost all of the pearls up and place them safely in her pouch.

He caught sight of her out of the corner of his eye and imagined that this was how she lived before. Her hair was billowing around her, rippling in the water and her delicate hands were picking up the pearls one by one with such great care and tenderness that he could feel his heart melt. He dare not disturb her combing the crevices and rocks until she must have felt his eyes on her. She looked up and gave him a dazzling smile.

She swam over to him and stroked his hair as he emptied the rest of the pearls into the pouch. She tied the pouch to her wrist and gave him a curious gaze. She placed her hands on his shoulders and gently claimed his lips. They were well submerged under the water and her lips felt so soft, yet foreign under the water. To his surprise she turned her fins to legs and wrapped them around his torso, and he could feel her hot folds rubbing against his stomach. She rubbed her body against his till her nipples were like diamonds, his kisses grew more urgent and hungry as he claimed her lips and wrapped his arms around her.

He was essentially weightless and had nothing to steady himself on as he covered her neck and shoulders with kisses. He was impossibly hard when he traced his tongue over her collarbone and tried to tug her to the surface so he could sink himself inside of her. She was a stronger swimmer than he and found himself back in her gentle hands, suspended in the water clinging on to her.

She snaked her hand between their bodies and took his length in her hand, she sheathed him inside of her with one fluid motion. He held onto her as they were suspended in the water, and he realized he had never been so deep inside of her before. She was in control and moved him inside of her at a deep and steady pace.
He stared at her, his eyes transfixed on hers as she rose and fell above him, she was his ruby haired goddess. Her hair fanned out around them and her opalescent skin shimmered in the water.

She pressed her forehead against his and they locked gazes; he could feel her getting closer and her need was getting stronger by the way she ground herself into his body. He was at her mercy, out of his element and out of control and he realized this is what she must have felt like the first time he made love to her. He gave in and let go and he no longer cared of drowning, or gravity or his own pleasure, he just wanted to stay as one with her for as long as possible.

The water took away all barriers between them and he clung to her like a scared child. He felt a small surge of pride and completion when she threw her head back and her eyes were closed in a look of sheer bliss as she contracted around him. He could feel her own hot fluids surround him as he came inside of her, he realized he had never felt more free.
