Chapter 16 Sacrifices

\"Oh, him,\" Ron said. \"Not likely he\'d help us, is it?\"

\"He might,\" said Hermione. \"Do you know where he is now, Ron?\"

\"Yeah,\" Ron replied. \"They\'ve got him on probation at the Ministry of Magic. He was lucky he didn\'t get sent to Azkaban to join his Dad. Percy\'s been given the job of keeping an eye on him.\" He laughed. \"They deserve each other, if you ask me.\"

Hermione looked at Tonks. \"Do you think you could get me into the Ministry to see him?\"

\"I don\'t see why not,\" said Tonks. \"Let\'s give it a go, shall we?\"

\"I\'ll come with you,\" said Ron.

\"Oh, no - I don\'t think you\'d better,\" said Hermione. She looked appeallingly at Tonks, who came to the rescue.

\"Naw, Ron, you take Remus back to Grimmauld Place, he\'s asleep on his feet, look. I\'m sure it\'s that damn Wolfbane potion of Snape\'s.\"

\"I keep telling you there\'s something dodgy about that potion but no-one will listen,\" complained Ron. \"Oh, okay then.\" He put his hand under Remus\'s elbow and steered him away.

Hermione and Tonks looked at each other.

\"Are you planning on doing what I think you\'re planning on doing?\" asked Tonks.

Hermione turned pink. \"Well, we\'ve got to find a way to the Silent Witch somehow,\" she said. \"Whatever it takes.\"

*********************

Harry had a lot to think about as he walked away from the Silent Witch, still wrapped in his Invisibility Cloak. He had a difficult decision to make: should he trust Snape or not?
He\'d like to trust him ... he needed to trust him ... but ... but...

\"I must think this through logically,\" Harry said to himself. \"I can\'t just go thinking with my cock like Ron said.\"

He reached the wood without reaching any conclusions and sat down under a tree.

\"Well, let\'s think of the possibilities.
\"One: he\'s betrayed me.\"
Harry winced. He really didn\'t want to dwell on this one.

\"Two: he\'s pretending to betray me, using me as bait to lure Fenrir out of hiding, and doesn\'t mean to get me killed.\"
Harry smiled. He liked this one. But then, wait a minute, there was also ...

\"Three: he\'s using me as bait to lure Fenrir out of hiding but doesn\'t care whether I get killed in the process or not.\"
Harry frowned. That sounded uncomfortably like Snape\'s callousness to him ...

*********************

\"I think this is Percy Weasley and Draco Malfoy\'s office,\" said Tonks. \"Yes, look, Malfoy\'s at that desk in the corner. Good thing Percy\'s not here.\"

Malfoy looked up indignantly as the two women walked in. \"What the hell are you doing here? This is a private office!\"

\"Hello, Draco,\" said Hermione pleasantly. \"Nice to see an old school friend.\"

Draco looked at her suspiciously. \"We were never friends, Granger. I wouldn\'t demean myself by making friends with a know-it-all Mudblood.\"

Hermione gritted her teeth. She\'d known this was going to be hard, but for Harry\'s sake she had to go through with it. \"We\'ve come with a proposition. Well, a request, really.\"

\"Oh?\"

\"We need to find a pub called the Silent Witch, and apparently only Death Eaters can provide access to it ...\"

\"I\'m not a Death Eater!\" interrupted Malfoy.

\"No, but you used to be,\" said Tonks. \"If some of us hadn\'t put in a good word for you, you\'d be in Azkaban right now. And it\'s not too late for us to change our minds, you know.\"

Malfoy went pale. \"If I could get you access to this place,\" he said cautiously \"what would I get out of it?\"

\"You mean beside staying out of Azkaban?\" jeered Tonks.

But Hermione smiled at Draco. \"Anything within reason,\" she said.

Draco looked at her speculatively. \"I\'ve always wondered what a Mudblood giving head feels like,\" he said. \"And with those teeth of yours ... hmm, well I have wondered.\"

Hermione looked sick. She\'d never imagined that Draco could ever have thought of her like that.

\"I could make you a portkey to get there,\" said Draco. He suddenly seemed quite keen on the idea. \"Well, that\'s my price. A blowjob from the high and mighty Miss Granger for a portkey to the Silent Witch. Do we have a deal?\"

\"Deal,\" gritted Hermione.

\"Just a minute,\" said Tonks. \"I think I\'ll just make sure Draco here keeps his side of the bargain.\"

\"I\'m not taking an Unbreakable Vow!\" said Draco, looking alarmed.

\"No need,\" said Tonks. \"Just a simple spell will do it. Hold hands, you two.\" And when they reluctantly obeyed, she pointed her wand at their linked hands and said \"Transactio! There, you both have to keep your sides of the bargain.\"

\"Thanks,\" said Hermione. \"I think.\"

Tonks grinned. \"Well, I don\'t think I want to watch. I\'ll just step out into the corridor and make sure nobody barges in on you.\"

Draco stared at Hermione, his pale eyes gleaming. \"Get your tits out, Granger, I might as well have something better to look at than your ugly Mudblood head.\"

Hermione glared at him, but reluctantly undid her blouse and slipped it off.

\"Bra too\" said Draco, his voice thickening. He licked his lips.

Hermione removed her bra, Draco bent forward and greedily sucked on a nipple. In spite of herself Hermione moaned, feeling her nipples hardening.

\"What a slut you are, Granger,\" Draco whispered hoarsely. \"I bet I\'m making you wet. How many men have you done?\"

\"None of your business,\" snapped Hermione. \"Let\'s get on with it, shall we?\"

Draco started to pull down his fly, then stopped. \"And keep going, right? Even if someone walks in.\"

\"Tonks will keep people away,\" said Hermione. At least, she sincerely hoped so.

\"She won\'t be able to keep Percy Weasley out of his own office,\" sneered Draco and finished unzipping himself. His cock sprang free from his trousers. \"Lie down, Mudblood,\" he growled.

He dragged Hermione to the floor of the office and positioned her upside down with her face next to his cock. \"And no biting!\" he warned, grabbing hold of her tits.

Hermione closed her eyes. If she didn\'t have to think of it being Draco Malfoy, maybe it wouldn\'t be so bad. And he was certainly getting her excited, the way he was gently squeezing her nipples ... She groped around and took a firm grip on his balls, while slowly licking the head of his cock.

\"Get it in!\" commanded Draco hoarsely.

Hermione took a deep breath and sucked his cock into her mouth. Draco gasped and thrust his hips forward, pushing it further in ... Hermione squeezed his balls and gently scraped her teeth along the length of his cock. With a shout, Draco suddenly pulled out and came all over her face.

\"A bit sudden,\" he muttered. \"Sorry, I\'ve not had any for a while.\"

Hermione lay on the floor, feeling dirty and disgusted with herself. Draco touched her face. \"Here, let\'s clean you up.\" He got up and grabbed a handful of tissues from a box on his desk. Hermione was surprised when he gently wiped the cum from her face - this wasn\'t the Malfoy she knew.

When he gave a spiteful grin and started wiping it onto her breasts she was almost relieved; a nasty Malfoy she could cope with. \"Stop that!\" she snapped, pushing him away and hastily getting dressed. \"You got what you wanted, didn\'t you?\"

Draco sighed and zipped himself up. \"Yeah, you weren\'t bad, for a Mudblood.\" He eyed her speculatively. \"I might even be tempted to give you a proper fuck sometime.\"

\"No thanks,\" said Hermione stiffly.

Draco laughed. \"Oh, don\'t worry. I wouldn\'t want to go anywhere else that Weasley had been.\"

Hermione glared at him.

\"Has he been up your arse?\" enquired Draco, idly playing with his wand.

\"It\'s none of your business, now make that portkey. You\'ve got to keep your side of the bargain,\" Hermione said.

\"Oh, okay, I suppose you\'ve earned it.\" Draco reached into a drawer of his desk and took out a large object. He tapped it with his wand and muttered a spell before handing it to Hermione. \"There you are. That\'ll take you where you want.\"

*************************

In the sitting room at Grimmauld Place, Remus was dozing in an armchair, comfortably dressed in slacks, slippers and a woolly cardigan knitted for him by Tonks in a tasteful shade of grey. A big red \'R\' was embroidered on the pocket. Ron was pacing up and down impatiently, running his fingers through his tangled red hair. He breathed a sigh of relief when Hermione walked in. \"Oh thank Merlin, I was so worried about you, Hermy!\"

Remus woke up with a snort. \"What? What\'s going on? Oh, hello Hermione. Where\'s Tonks?\"

\"She stayed behind at the Ministry to keep an eye on Malfoy and make sure he didn\'t warn anyone,\" replied Hermione. \"But it\'s all right, he\'s given me a portkey to take us to the Silent Witch.\"

\"Bloody hell, Hermione,\" Ron said. \"What did you have to do to get that?\"

Hermione went pink. \"You really don\'t want to know, Ron,\" she said earnestly.

\"Oh?\" Ron said. He gave her a suspicious look. \"Well, let\'s see it, then.\"

Hermione reluctantly reached into her bag and pulled out the portkey - a heavy stone paperweight shaped like a large cock and balls.

\"Yuk, I\'m not grabbing hold of that,\" Ron said indignantly.

\"It\'s Draco\'s idea of a joke,\" said Hermione. \"He claims it\'s a model of his own, er, privates.\"

\"No way.\" Ron rolled his eyes. \"I bet his prick\'s a lot smaller than that.\"

\"No, actually,\" Hermione began, then stopped.

There was a long silence.

\"I\'m not going to ask how you know that,\" Ron said dangerously. \"Not yet, anyway. But when this is all over you\'ve got some explaining to do, Hermione.\"
