The Snake and The Lioness

Adrienne woke to a tapping on her window.
"What is that?" She asked herself.

Adrienne opened the window and a huge black bird flew into her window. Adrienne walked across the room to where it landed and gently took the letter from it's leg. She looked at it. The Malfoy crest was on it.

Dear Adrienne,
Our date last week ended too soon. I would love to see you
again sometime. Maybe a quiet dinner at my place next week?
Let me know your answer soon.
Lucius Malfoy


So, the date had gone well. He wanted to see her again. Why was she so happy? These were the thoughts running through Adrienne's brain. She satn imn immediately and wrote out a response. She gave the bird a small pat and it flew off.

Adrienne took a shower and planned her next move. This time she would wear something a little more suggestive. She didn't want to sleep with him, but maybe she could entice him into letting her stay overnight. That way she could get a quick, but available check on things.

The night came quickly and she found herself at his Manor, being led into a large sitting room. His house was beautiful. No doubt about that. Adrienne tried to get close looks at things, but couldn't get many.

Adrienne kept one ear out for strange things and one out for Lucius. He was going on about how great she looked tonight. She had worn a camisole, an above the knee skirt, and very tall high-heels. She had thought it was a bit much, but Harry, who worked in the same field as her, said 'To catch a slippery fish, you need very attractive bait.'

Adrienne tugged her skirt down as Lucius led her through the Manor. He had told her that she would need a tour to get used to the Manor. Why he said this was a mystery. But she didn't say anything.

When they finally sat down for dinner, Adrienne was grateful. Her feet were hurting and her head was swelling from all the historical things that could be found within the Manor. She was amazed and surprised.

Lucius wondered why she had dressed like this, but Draco had said she had changed. Is this what he had meant? He really didn't care. These clothes showed off her very generous assests. She had nice plump breast. Heavy as he liked. Narcissa's had been too small. She had a nice round arse. You could probably bounce a gan ofn off of it. She had smooth skin and a small waist. In other words, she was perfect.

Dinner was an intimate affair. Lucius wanted to be as close to Adrienne as he could be. He had been thinking since their last meeting. He wanted to court her. As the younger generation says, take her as his girlfriend. Maybe even, in time, a bride.

Lucius found that Adrienne was very smart, smarter than Draco had described. He could tao heo her about things he couldn't even begin to describe to Narcissa. True, he had once loved Narcissa, even after Draco was born. But Narcissa's and his marriage had been arranged and he had never really loved her.

But now, this Adrienne. He was sure he could love her. Adrienne was an intellectual. Way better than the trained girls he had been expected to date. These girls had been bred. Bred to only like what he liked. To only do what he gave permission. Adrienne was not like this. Adrienne was her own woman.
"Lucius it has been a most wonderful evening. I hope we can do it again." Adri sai said, moving towards the fireplace.
"Who says we have to end the night here, m'lady?" Lucius said, bringing Adrienne's arm to his mouth and showering it in kisses.
Adrienne froze.
'I shouldn't be doing this. But this is what I am supposed to be doing. Trying to get him to take me as a bride-to-be hopeful. Is that what he is doing, or is he just trying to get me into bed.' Adrienne's thoughts flewoughough her head.
"Yeah. I guess this night doesn't have to end. But you must know, I am not a whore and will not be taken to bed in such a short time." Adrienne said the last part confidently. The first part had been said nervously.
"You caught me!" Lucius said, giving an innocent smirk. "I was not proposing that you sleep with me, but maybe just spend the night?"

Adrienne almost melted at the sight of that smirk. It was the same one that Draco used to give her. Her knees used to weaken at the sight of that. How could she refuse him?
"Of course. Just let me go back to my home and get a few things. I shall return."
Lucius bowed his head and helped her into the fireplace. He almost fainted when he heard her call out, "The Most Noble and Ancient House of Black."
'Isn't that where Potter is staying.' He thought to himself.

Adrienne popped back to the house she was sharing with Harry and her brother. They didn't seem to be around, so she went straight to her room. While she walked she wondered. Should she really stay there? Lucius had made it clear that he wasn't expecting her to sleep with him, so what was she so afraid of?
"Oh, gods. You feel so good!"

Adrienne turned and looked towards her brother's room. He must have Nina over, she thought. Christain was always finding some girl to bring home, but this girl, Nina, seemed to be around a lot more than the other girls.

Adrienne was a little sickened at the thought of her brother having sex. As most people would be. She headed on down the hall, passing Harry's room.

She went into her room and got her black sleeping gown and some clothing for tomorrow. She was just about to walk into her fireplace when someone knocked on the door. She walked over and opened the door. It was Harry and Christian.
"Are you going somewhere, Ria?" Christian asked.
"Are you not busy in the other room?" Christian nodded. "There's your answer then." Adrienne smirked. She had picked that up from hanging with Draco.
"Didn't you go out with Malfoy tonight?" Harry asked, anger evident in his eyes.
"Yes. And our date has not ended yet. Goodbye." Adrienne said, moving towards the fireplace.
"Wait! Your staying the night with...with..." Christian started.
"Draco's father. He's actually pretty bloody nice when you get to know him."
"Nice?! He's a Death Eater!" Harry almost screamed.
"So what?! Draco was one." Adrienne definded.
"Draco was a spy. Not a real one." Harry reminded her.
"I think I know that. My brain is capable of knowing the difference. I'm leaving!" Christian grabbed her arm. Adrienne tried to pull away.
"Let. Me. Go. Christian, now!" Adrienne said, grabbing for her wand. She would hex him into next week.
"Adrienne, you can't stay with him." Christian said in a low, but warning voice.
"It's my job, Christian. I am supposed to gain admittance to his home and investigate these dark spells and unforgivables being used. They said that it isn't his magical signature, it's someone elses. But they don't know whose. Let me do my job, Christian. Why don't you go back and finish fucking your girlfriend."

Christian let go of her wrist, but pushed her onto her bed while doing so. Adrienne was frightened. Her brother had never treated her harshly. Even Harry looked surprised.
"Don't get disrespectful. I may be your twin, but I was born a full twenty minutes before you. I am your elder. Also, I am worried. Lucius is dangerous. He could hurt you and I don't just mean emotionally. What if he tries to rape you or something, then what?" Christian screamed.
"Then, I have my wand. It's never failed me before. I used this wand during battle. I actually hit Voldemort with a few strong curses from it. I can definitely get away from Lucius if I have to. I will see you two in the morning."

Adrienne walked off, leaving two stunned faces in the dark. Adrienne had always listened to her older brother. Always. Christian, protecting her from the hordes of boys after her, was the only reason she had stayed a virgin so long. She had given her virginity to the one she loved, like Christan had advised her. She gave it to Draco Malfoy.
