-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry and Ron went straight to Dumbledore's office when Hermione came back from the library to the common room without her. Harry knew Draco was plotting to do something horrible to the girl, he couldn't stand the idea of his hands on her... and used his own clenched fists to pound furiously on the Headmaster's door. Dumbledore seemed to be very quick to anger when he learnt of the blonde Slytherin's scheme, he ordered the two Gryffindors back to their common rooms, assuring he was going to deal with the younger Malfoy directly. Harry almost felt a little sorry for Malfoy, almost... at seeing the raw fury in his Headmaster's eyes. Ron and Harry felt put out that they couldn't watch Malfoy get read the riot act, but exchanged satisfied smirks as they watch Dumbledore's white hair whisk down the hall in a fury.

"PANDORA!!!"... "GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT WITH MY NIECE DRACO MALFOY!!!" He was searching the skies for a hint of their figures in the moonlight. He was gripping the dress he found discarded on the Quidditch pitch, wringing it in his hands in fury"

Draco almost fell off his broom when he heard the older wizard bellow out her name, he had a nipple in his mouth and she ripped it from his adventurous tongue "Gods the old man has timing" he said with a disgruntled growl. She was shaking like a leaf and the look of sheer panic crossed her usually child like face. He was quickly dressing himself when her voice cracked with fear "Draco... my dress is gone! uncle gave it to me... and now it's gone, it must have fallen through the clouds! He sounds so angry... I've never heard him yell like that before!"

Draco raised his golden eye brow in disbelief... he had heard the old tiger caterwauling frequently, usually for something he did to stir trouble in the Great Hall. He knew the man rarely bellowed like that without good reason though, and as he saw her shivering from being so exposed and so far from the ground and the fear of her uncles wrath, he realized that he had fucked up big time. "Pandora, I"m sorry... I lied to you, I didn't ask the Headmaster for permission to bring you out here, please forgive me" he blurted out quickly before thinking of a proper Slytherin excuse. She didn't think, only acted and mermaids are known for their boldness, a "gift" from Hermes to her kind... she had slapped him hard against his aristocratic face. His hand felt where the sting of her hand would surely leave a red mark with a dazed expression.

"I want to go back down now Draco" she said icily as she crossed her arms over her chest and averted her eyes from him. Draco's temper was volatile at best and was known around Hogwarts for flying off the handle. His eyes flashed with fury at her reaction to his apology, because Malfoy's NEVER apolgized... it was beneath them, and here this girl was throwing it back in his face. He gripped a handful of hair roughly, but didn't pull it.. just enough to remind her who was in control. "What if I don't want to let you go just yet?" he asked with venom. The fear spread across her face "I should have never trusted you, your just as cruel as Harry said you were". He pulled back his hand as if scalded and steeled himself.

He opened his mouth to spit something biting out but held it, he knew it wouldn't serve him to knock Potter right now, he knew he had to show her how much better he was than Potter, or anyone else who would try to be a suitor to her.
"Accio Pandora's dress" he growled under his breath. In an instant her dress flew from Dumbledore's hands and sky rocketed into Draco's. She looked at him, trying to hide the amazement at his abilities. He handed her dress to her with a crest fallen expression. "I really am sorry, let me do the talking... this is all my fault anyways" She didn't reply just struggled to get on the blue sheath of a dress... not liking how Draco's eyes still seemed to penetrate her clothing.

Pandora pushed her arms through the thin fabric of her dress and Draco helped tug it over her hips. He could still hear Dumbledore screeching below them. Draco shifted uncomfortably on the broom "Don't you want to turn around?" he asked. She glared at him "just please take me back down Draco" He could feel her eyes on him as he shrugged his shoulders in defeat. "Your going to have to hold on to me then, I can't steer us like this". She held on to his neck as he flew  with lightening speed and she tucked her head under his chin, clutching on to him with fear he might do something crazy, and loving the way he smelled and how strong his arms were wrapped around her. Her hair flew around them like fire and he couldn't help but feel how perfect and soft she felt wrapped around him like this. He draped her cape around her to keep her warm and before she knew it he had settled them gently to the ground. Dumbledore pounced on them immediately.

"What do you think you are doing Mr. Malfoy!? running off with my niece..in the middle of the night, outside the castle,past cerfew..and on the first day on the school year no less!" Draco tried to open his mouth to speak but Dumbledore cut him off again "I should  have your head boy badge for this one..how could you do such an irresponsible thing?"

He towered over Pandora and was wrapping her robe tighter around her "and you.. what's gotten into your head that you think you can just go zipping around the grounds at night with whomever you please? He's not even in your house! you havent even stepped foot in Gryffindor tower yet and your already breaking the rules!"

Draco stepped in "it was all my idea sir, I lied  and told her you gave us permission, I lied to her to get her to go flying with me, I am sorry for breaking your rules and I am very sorry for lying to you Pandora.." Dumbldeore stared at him with keen eyes, this was Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius.. arrogance personafide and here he was being humble and apologetic. He was sure Pandora had brought this change in him, the old wizard  studied Draco's determined eyes, noting how rare it was when a Slytherin would look you straight in the eye on any occassion.

The twinkle crept into the old man's eyes. "I accept your apology Draco, and I think I will let you off with a light detention, and a condition that you will tutor Pandora in Potions but will not seek her out other wise. You have caused quite an uproar with the Gryffindors as you know Draco.. we cant be have riots in the halls because you cant keep your hands to yourself".

Draco couldn't believe his ears. He was quietly satisfied he had ruffled the Golden Trio's feathers enough to get them to compalin to Dumbledore, but he steeled at what the old man was implicating however, he just told him he coudn't see Pandora.. the gaul of this old bastard he thought with malice.

"But Headmaster,  I cant even walk her to classes or sit with her in the Great Hall?" "Not for one week young Master Malfoy, that is part of your punishment'. Pandora lowered her eyes and stood behind her uncle peeking out at Draco, had he really wanted to do those things with her? She would have felt much more secure if he could walk her to her classes and show her around, he was so confident and everyone seemed to respect or fear him she thought.

"I'll be her tutor for potions? but I can't talk to her outside of class for a week?" Dumbledore could see the anger brimming and stewing with in the young blonde. "those are my conditions Mr. Malfoy, and I would not test the waters if I were you, you wil have detention with Snape tomorrow night, and Pandora will be joining you"


Draco nodded his head and held his tongue from getting him in deeper water.  Pandora stepped out from behind her uncle "Im sorry uncle, I should have asked permission, you must be ashamed of me" she said as he hung her head. Draco stepped closer to her "she didn't' do anything wrong Headmaster she shouldn't have to serve detention too.. I can take both detentions to make it up to her"

"You are a glutton for punishment are you not Draco?" he said with the twinkle blazing in his eye. "No thank you Draco, I know I deserve my punishment, it's ok" she added quietly. Dumbledore ushered Pandora away from Draco, but she stilled "can Draco at least keep one promise for me? Can he show me back to Gryffindor house?" Dumbledore peered over his half moon spectacles at them. "I dont need to remind you to be quick about it Mr. Malfoy, you may show her to the towers but only to the towers and then he must go back to Slytherin right away!" He looked at Draco's horrified face, gauging whether he really would step foot in Gryffinor Tower just to be close to the red head. He saw the way she peered over at him with those doe eyes and he quickly nodded his consent. Dumbledore all but laughed aloud.

Draco fell in step with her as they departed from the Quidditch pitch, Dumbledore watched as they walked close together, they seemed to compliment each other nicely he mused.

Draco walked close to her but decided to not press his luck to try to touch her, as they treded lightly through the halls he broke the silence "please forgive me... I really am sorry for lying to you, I just .. really wanted to get to know you, spend some time with you.. and now that your a Gryffindor I didn't think I'd be able to really talk to you anymore. "

She seemed to think over what he said before changing the subject completely "I think Harry might have been a little bit right about you, do you always get your way?" Draco gaped at her "Did it look like I just got my way tonight? and must you bring up Potter all the time?" "you broke the rules and angered my uncle very much.. you made me so angry with you but now my anger is only  a little bit of hurt.. you seem to get what you want.. it must be wonderful to have that power"

He gave her a curious glance sideways "I don't get everything I want" he siad in a huff "I want you, and I certainly dont have you, I wanted you to be in my house, but your not, I don't want you to even know Potters name but your friends with the git already" She seemed to be stifling a laugh "Do all the things you don't have somehow only concern me?" "I am use to getting what I want, thats true.. I am a Slytherin and we have our ways. But I dont get everything I want  and lately... I feel like I don't even have what I need"

"what is it you think you need Draco?" He wasnt sure if she was playing him for a fool or she was really that innocent of his intentions."you" he replied matter of factly.

She slid her hand in his as they walked through the winding corridors, "I do not understand this.. need you speak of. You don't need me if you were thirsty or hungry. You don't know me enough to really miss me greatly when I am gone, you have never not seen me since you met me, and this is the same day you met me" "You don't know... I could shrivel and die the moment you let go of my hand.. but my point still stands I don't think I would fare well without knowing where you are or if I couldn't be with you"

"Do not worry so much Draco, we live in the same castle and sleep under the same stars.. you are the only person who really knows anything about me here aside from uncle, Harry, Hermione and Ron are nice... but never really listened to what I really had to say. You have taught me many things tonight and though you will have to prove your trust again.. I still want to tell you my best kept secret"

"your my mystery girl, and I will prove my trust... but you have to admit before it all fell to shit we were enjoying oursleves" he said as he squeezed her hand in his. "What is fell to shit?" He gave her a light laugh "umm fall apart? go badly I suppose" "I do not think it fell to shit, it was beautiful under all those stars...you know back home we could see the stars easily, they were so bright.. and we would study the stars..did your mother name you after the dragon star Draco?" "My father named me Draco and yes, it does mean Dragon, you studied the stars at your old school?" "oh yes it was my favorite subject actually I liked the stoires and myths behind the constellations I thought they were... how do you say it... romantic, like you are romantic". Draco gave her a classic smirk "I aim to please you love".

He winced at the realization that he was treading on unfriendly enemy territory now and been feeling the stares of the paintings on him catching pieces of their comments and the whispers "slytherin... what's he doing here? isnt that Lucius Malfoy's son?" "what a beautiful witch he's got.. oh young love" he heard the idle gossip of the paintings and smirked.

"Did I mention that these these walls have ears? and eyes you'll have to have a password to get in... damnit I forgot" "Oh I know it! Ron gave it to me, it's mermaids fin" she said loudly. "Shhh your not supposed to tell people your password Pandora, promise me you wont yell anyone else? expecially not any of the other Slytherins?" now sudenly concernced for the safety of the Gyrffendor towers he groaned inwardly... but stored the password in his head for future reference.

"but why? is it a secret or something?" "It is, now you should get to bed now, I don't want my student to be tired for her first Potions lesson" He stopped on the bottom of the stairs outside the common room and she tugged on his hand "come on, I don't know where to go once I'm in side" He wouldn't budge from his spot "your not going to come in with me?" she asked urgently. "NO! I mean.. I really can't do that, Slytherins are not exactly welcome in Gryffindor tower let alone the bloody common room! I'm sorry Pandora.. but I have a feeling Potter and pals will be waiting up for you" he said grimly.

"you can't come visit me here?" she said with sad eyes. "afraid not love" as he settled on the step under hers. "wink me before I go" she said as she gazed expectantly in his eyes. He gave her a smoldering look and winked at her, his hands crammed insides his pockets so he didn't pounce on her. "ooh I love that feeling" she laughed as she pressed her thighs together tightly, her laughter flowing over him like music. "Ok Love, your killing me, this is cruel and unusual punishment to tease a Slytherin up to the towers and get him all hot and bothered" he said as he leaned closer to her. Her face turned to a perplexed expression, "I'm torturing you?". His licked his lips slowly, wanting to taste her so badly "every time I look at you it's slow torture not to touch you".

"than touch me" she said innocently and placed her hand on his shoulder. He squirmed at the new bulge in his pants. She grabbed his face with her hands and placed a chaste kiss on his forehead "I will stop, as you say torturing you tonight, goodnight Draco I will see you tomorrow ". He shot up to place his lips on hers, standing on his tip toes on the step below her, he tried to catch her lips, but he only caught the corner of her mouth "goodnight Pandora... sweet dreams" he said quietly as she turned to go.  She whipsered her pass word and she glanced back at him and winked before she stepped through the portal. It was his turn to feel that  tingle of butterlfies in his stomach now. His features hardened as he saw the weasel and Potter jump from their seats as soon as she walked through the portrait.

He stood there staring at where she stood just mere seconds ago with a bemused grin on his face just thinking about her , a neighboring portrait broke his reverie "your lucky chap, I'd give my right eye for a lass like that... but doesn't she just have you wrapped around her little finger already... oh yes its written right acrosss your face boy.. "the portrait said with humor in his voice. Draco grumbled "shut it"to the portrait before  trudging down to the dungeons. "you know I'm right boy, the great ones always have you on your knees!" he yelled after him.

Pandora just wanted to climb in bed and imagine Draco's hands all over her, she felt intoxicated by his kisses and wanted to just relive the night she just had. She felt overwhelmed by the barage of questions Harry and Ron through at her when she stepped through the portrait. "are you ok? did he attack you? what did Dumbledore say? " in between Ron's "I told you you couldn't trust him! I told you!" they bombarded her and drug her into a chair by the fire place. "Stop!" she yelped as she held her hands over her ears like a small child. "your driving me insane now settle down" Harry carried on with his questions "when you didn't come back we thought he had hurt you..you never made it back with Hermione, so we went to your uncle for help"

"so you are the ones who got my uncle so angry with me" she said with a surprised voice.

They averted their eyes around the common room with guilt "you really didnt need to to do that you know, I know I wasn't aloud out but didnt think my friends would tell on me.." Harry lost his patience with her "He lied to you and kept you out till all hours of the night.. he tricked you, I told you you cant trust him"

Hermione just eyed the girl with mild curiosity she noticed how flushed her cheeks were and the glint in her eye told her she hadn't minded being whisked away into the night by the charming Prince of Slytherin. "Can you tell us what happened at least Pandora?" Hermione knew the girl was like an open book with her thoughts and feelings and had a very strange way of letting them fall out of her.

 Pandora got a slightly dreamy look her face when she told them that Draco had her flying so fast she thought she would scream and then when she told them she had screamed in pleasure. Harry gave her a curious glance Ron grumbled and Hermione hid her face in horror. "I don't know what you are so worried about, we just went flying and saw the stars... oh and then he made me leak.. I mean what was the word.. orgasm.. he made me orgasm too"

Harry's mouth fell open and Ron actually fell out of his chair. Harry gripped her shoulder in his rage as he sprang from the chair "HE WHAT!?!" he bellowed. "he made me orgasm?" she said in confusion to his anger. "he didnt hurt me.. it felt really good, Ive never felt that good in my life" she explained. Hermione snorted from her armchair "I bet".

Ron found use of his tongue from his station on the floor "you let him fuck you?! what are you thinking Pandora! you just got here an already your fucking Slytherins!" Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion "what does fuck mean?" Ron howled "Pandora.. from what rock did you crawl out from under? fuck..shagging? have sex with someone?"

She shook her head "No we didn't, I did not share sex with Draco" she explained.  Ron was still on the floor "well how did he get you to?...Oh" the look of realization spread across his face and he blushed deeply. Harry glared at him "yeah OH!" Pandora's shoulders dropped "please don't be mad at me... I don't know what did wrong.. Im sorry to upset you all like this"

"Pandora you don't understand, we aren't mad at you.. it's just Malfoy of all people" he said as he stroked her hair absently. "Here let me explain" Hermione chimed in with a dictionary type definition of the animosity between Draco and the three of them.


That night Harry Ron and Hermione had explained there hatred of Draco, Going over in great detail  every horrible deed he ever did to them. Harry had managed to jade her mind towards Draco enough to make her suspicious and a little afraid of him. Hemione showed her to her room and she crawled into bed and found she could not sleep for all the thoughts swimming in her head. She had never felt more herself than when she did with Draco, she knew she never fit in with the other mer-folk because she could change at will and had more human features than the others, she feared she would not fit in with wizards either but Draco made her feel so desired and accepted she couldn't get enough of his attention.

The next day Harry and Ron flanked Pandora wherever she went, they had become her body guards and didn't let another wizard close enough to see the whites of her eyes.

Draco's own silver eyes kept close watch as Potter brushed her hair back from her shoulders or rested a hand at the small of her back. When he whispered something into her ear Draco got up and left the room, right in the middle of transfiguration class with Mcgonagall screaming behind him.By the end of class Draco scored himself another detention and lost 50 points from Slytherin.

Harry was smitten with the girl... and just his luck the Slytherin git had already tried to shag her and looked like he wasn't about to back down. He passed her notes in class, all innuendo ridden... but he knew she wouldn't pick up on it. He bragged to her about his Quidditch record and how much better a flyer he was than Malfoy. He brushed her hair back and brought his lips within a hairs width from her ear when he whispered "I can't wait to get my broom between your thighs, if you think Malfoy got you high, I'll make you feel so good you won't ever want to come down" he let his lip slightly brush her ear lobe, discreet enough to look like an accident. I want to show you something after class"

Pandora saw the look in Draco's eyes as he saw Harry whisper into her ear. He looked like he was going to bound over the tables and kill Harry with his bare hands. Pandora wondered about their wild stories about the blonde, had he really called Hermione that? Did he really try to hex Harry?" She knew she couldn't keep her eyes from wandering over to Draco, she totally missed the look of sheer lust in Harry's eyes. When her eyes would meet with Draco's across a room she felt like she was on fire and her skin would tingle, he would quickly take his eyes of hers, but she continued to stare at him, not knowing to look away.

Draco would keep a safe distance away from her but after lunch he was running late for  class when she smacked straight into him on the stair. He grabbed her before she fell backward down the stairs. "careful love.. dont want to break that pretty neck" he hadn't meant to grab her or talk to her or lust after her or dream of her, but he couldnt help himself.

Pandora gave him a frightened look and felt his rage at Potter flare, he knew what they could be filling her head with. "Draco, you scared me!" she said as she recoiled from his grip.  "you look lost little red.. " he said wryly. She looked at him flustered, not wanting to infuriate her uncle farther but she she needed help, she was completely lost after the staircases switched on her and led her straight to Draco. She stammereed and wrung her hands "well I guess I'll see you later"  she tried to move past him but he blocked her, her eyes as big as saucers as he crept closer to her.  "Where are your two guard dogs?" "I dont have dogs Draco" she said obliviously. He sighed in exasperation "Potter and Weasley have been trailing you all day... managed to run away from them too eh?" "I.. I forgot my book and the stairways switched on me and I.. I'm so lost... people have been so mean to me... I hate this place... I miss you! she gasped out as she started to sob.

The tears were streaming down her face as she ran as fast as she could, out of Draco's grasping hands. "Pandora whats going on?! what's wrong!? he called down the hallways to her. He could hear her sobs echoeing off the walls of the castle as she ran full speed down the stairs.

Draco groaned, "why me?" he asked  the staircases as he chased after her. She had no idea where she was going  and her mind was clouded, she liked Draco so much and was crushed to find out that her new friends hated him so intensly, she was horrified by all the things he had done to them over the years and felt so torn about him.

He raced after her and overcame her, he caught her by the arm "Please calm down! just tell me why you are crying... why do you want to run away from me so badly" In between sobs she managed to spit out a few words he managed to peice her meaning together "uncle.. mad...me..Harry, told... him" her shoulders were heaving violently and he was afraid she was going to hyperventilate or explode.

He gripped her shoulders gently "can I please just get you to your class or you room .. I"ll promise to leave you alone the rest of the day" She just sobbed harder. "please dont cry.. look if I upset you just tell me, but just let me get you to class or at least somewhere where you know where your at"

She nodded as she wiped the tears from her eyes, trailing behind Draco. "I take it Potter told you some stories about me? and your probably a little home sick?" she nodded again, not letting her voice escape her lips.  "I can't explain myself to you right now... but just know that it will be ok, you'll get use to it here, just give it some time. You have your uncle here with you so its not like your totally alone" she mulled that over in her brain for a bit.  as she walked up next to Draco practically stepping on him "and you too" he gave her a puzzled look "what about me?" "I have you here too so I'm not so alone"

"Well I suppose you do but nobody seems too keen on letting me near you so.." he trailed off as she slid her hand in his. "if your uncle sees us he will probably expel me you know" she nuzzled her face into his robes "I don't care...you smell so goood Draco... you smell like.. like sunshine... if you could smell sunshine".

He started to get antsy at her hot cold routine and was curious is she would pounce on him or cut and run .
"Pandora I think its safe to say I've never met anyone quite like you" she smiled up at him "you haven't have you?" he smiled down at her. He wanted to crash his lips down onto her lovely pink lips, but was afraid she would start crying or run away or slap him. Maybe the portrait was right, she did have him wrapped around her little finger.

"I miss you, and I think I know what you mean when you say you need me... I think I need you too" she said as she inhaled his heavenly scent. "I will see you in detention tonight though.. what is detention like Draco?" she asked turning her big doe eyes on him. "you mean in general or just here?" he asked. "umm here I guess". Draco smirked at her "well they take beautiful girls like you and chain them up in the dungeons and spank them, sometimes they even strip them naked and chain them up" he said with a mischievieous gleem in his eyes.
"they don't actually hit you do they? uncle wouldn't alow that would he?" "well if you break the rules twice they do.." he saw her eyes growing bigger and bigger and stifled a laugh. "I'm only joking Pandora, we'll probably just have to clean out some cauldrons or something, its with Snape, and he happens to be my godfather.. so he'll go easy on us"

She still looked uncertain to him."you do know I'm joking right?" he winked at her. She smiled up at him with her dazzling white teeth "no.. but I do now?"  she giggled nervously at him. He knew he could win her with that wink. He guided her to her Charms class she was late for "just tell old Flitwick you got lost and your new and then.. flip your hair and smile at him.. I guarantee you he'll forget you were ever even late"

"Thank you for finding me Draco, I don't know where I would have ended up if you hadn't helped me". He just ran his hand through his hair as he waited for her to run off to be with the other Gryffindor's. Before he had time to blink she wrapped her arms around him tightly and he could feel her perky tits rub against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and quickly snaked a hand down to her ass.

She squeaked and jumped when he pinched her ass, crushing her tits into him harder. "why did you hurt me?" She asked guilelessly. "because your so damn adorable.. it didnt hurt that bad love" "I guess I should go... I will see you in detention tonight Draco" He watched behind the corner as she glided into the room, he REALLY needed to get a hold on his body when he was around her and stop thinking with his cock and start thinking with his mind.
