Quidditch Lessons

The next few weeks sped by without anyone noticing. October had snuck up on everyone, even the teachers. Though the staff had come up with a surprise for the students, something that would get everyone minds off the growing worry over a war building outside of the safe walls of the school.

Professor Dumbledore cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention on one mid October morning. Like always, every student in the room turned to hear what their Head Master had to say.

“The other professors and I have spoken about it, and we have decided that we are canceling the All Hollows Eve Feast.” He paused here to heat the students start to gasp and grumble at their outrage at the announcement.

“Instead we will be holding a Grand Mask for all students to participate in. There will be dancing, games, and of course…lots and lots of junk food.” He said happy. The announcement got a cheer from the entire room.

Once the Professor had stepped down to continue his conversation with the rest of the teachers the students went into action. Girls talked about who they wanted to ask them, boys talked about how bloody of costumes they could get away with. The mood in the room was light hearted and much more cheerful then it had been in weeks.

Luna sat there staring at the Head Master for a while before she let someone distract her from her thought. Anthony had poked her in the shoulder to get her attention. He looked uncertainly at her.
She hadn’t spoken much to him since the day of the dream. She did not feel actual pain any longer, but it just made her feel uncomfortable being around him any longer.

“I don’t know what happened… Or what I did… But I was hoping you would agree to go to the Mask with me?”

Luna blinked at him a few times, unsure of what to say ‘no’ right off, but why?

“I am sorry I don’t think… I don’t think that is a good idea Anthony… You are very nice but… I like someone else.” It was true, and she convinced herself it was the reason for her uncomfortable feelings. “I should have been honest with you from the start… I am sorry.”

Anthony looked disappointed but he nodded and then even smiled. “Lucky guy… Well just so you know if it doesn’t work out I’ll be around.” He said with a nod then headed off.

Luna left soon after him and headed to class. All day no one could talk about anything but the Mask. Boys were even starting to talk about who they wanted to ask, and who they wouldn’t touch with a Levitation Charm.

To her own surprise Luna was actually on the former list instead of the later one. She was asked by two more boys that day if she would go to the Mask with them. She said no to both, since she didn’t actually know either of them.

In the locker room before practice one of her team mates explained that it was because she was on the team and so far they were doing well that year. That made a lot of sense to Luna, as most of the players always had dates.

When she opened her locker to grab her gear she found a note form Draco. She was getting used to these notes popping up in odd places. So she just opened it and started to read.

Pet,
I want to see you tonight after practice in the locker room, find a way to make sure your team mates have gone before taking your shower.
~Master

It was easy for her to find a reason to stay. She purposefully did horrible curing practice and told the Captain she wanted to keep working. With how bad she had done he had no problem with that.

When she got into the locker room tired and covered in sweat she found she was gladly alone. She hoped she could take her shower before Draco came to get her. Disrobing she hit the shower as quickly as she could.

Draco frowned as he watched her form his hiding place, she was rushing so it wasn’t nearly as good of a show the first time he watched her. While she cleaned he sat and pondered how much restraint he had shown in her training. If his father was free he would be very proud.

When Luna got out of the shower and moved to grab the towel he jumped forward and pulled it out of her reach. When she saw him instead of being mad about the towel she dropped to her knees at his feet with her eyes looking down.

“Greetings Master.”

This action had been one of the main focuses of their training over the last few weeks.

“Greeting Pet.” He responded with a smile. “Stand so I can dry you.” He ordered calmly.

She got to her feet and closed her eyes, enjoying the soft touch of the towel drying her skin. He was gentle with her most of the time and she found herself seeking his touch.

“So, have you been asked to the Mask yet?” He asked as his lips almost touched her ear. He loved playing with her like this as well; he had learned what pushed those buttons in her. These days he could excite her from a foot away.

“Yes Master... but I told them no…” She said blushing slightly, she wasn’t sure why, it must have just been a reaction to where he was touching her now.

“Is that so… Well that is good because I want you going alone.” He told her letting his lips brush her ear. “There is only one person you are allowed to agree to go with. That is… Ronald…” he tried to keep the disgust from his voice at the thought of the Blood Traitor.

Fortunately for Draco the boy was thick and stupid, and would never realize what he could have with Luna. He was fully planning on making her his forever. Malfoy men had never been limited to one woman. After all the training he had put into Luna he planned to make her his mistress, and take care of her till she lost his interest.

“I want to dance with you that night, and I can not if you have someone else on your arm.” He said before kissing her neck and pulling away to set the towel aside. “I also want you to hook this to your bed; I want you sleeping in it from now on.” He told her as he set her leash in her hands.

“But… I can’t remove it…” She pointed out with wide eyes; visions of being stuck to her bed by the leash forever passed threw her head.

“The person that attaches it can activate the release my Pet.” He comforted her with his words and brushed her cheek with his finger tips. “There is no need to worry.” He added with a smile, it was exciting him to think of her chained to her own bed, by her own hand. He would have to use Pansy to release some stress that night. “Now go get some rest, I want to see you in the morning in our usual classroom.”

That night when it came time for her to put the leash on and bit her lip and frowned. Then she smiled again as she realized one small bit about his instructions. He had said to attach the leash to her bed, he had never actually said she had to attach the other end to herself.

Much happier about the idea she strapped the leash to her bed and climbed in to amused she had used Draco’s own kind of logic to get what she wanted.
