"I need ya to scream, luv," Scabior whispered into her ear.

"What?" Hermione managed to gasp back.

"You know, like I'm 'urting ya."

Hermione had to take a moment. Nope she didn't get it. From where she lay on the hard, cold stone floor, held down by this long-haired Death Eater she was sure she would be screaming by now. Too much had happened in the last few hours to allow her to make heads or tails of anything least of all this strange man's instructions.

"I don't understand."

"What's not to understand? I'm gonna to laugh all evil and you're gonna scream like am that evil."

"Aren't' you supposed to make me scream?" She tried to catch her breath but the smell of his spicy aftershave, liquor, and fresh forest dew was oddly intoxicating. "You mean you're not going to hurt me?"

"Look luv if you don't start soon I'll 'ave no choice, will I?"

"But aren't they just going to kill me anyway."

"If you don't stop asking questions I'm gonna kill ya."

Hermione screamed. Tipped her head back and screamed as loud and as bloodcurdling as she could manage.

Out of breath she ignored his threat and asked, "Why would you do this?"

He let out an evil laugh, for the audiences benefit, that made his hazel eyes flash then gave her a wicked grin that spoke volumes that Hermione wasn't sure she was ready to read.

"Don't worry, Luv. I 'ave my price and I always collect." At the sound of a loud POP they both looked up to see Dobby. "There's your ride. I'll be seein' you. You can count on it."

And with that Dobby took her hand, nodded to Scabior and disaparated with Hermione to safety.

"What the fuck was that?" Scabior jumped to his feet and shook his head at the now empty spot where Hermione was then looked up at the shocked looking Bellatrix. "Fucking House Elves, eh?"

Hermione lay on the beach, the waves lapping at her toes. What the hell had just happened?

She remembered the nod exchanged between Dobby and the man they called Scabior. Was he a spy? And more disturbing, what exactly had be meant by, I 'ave my price and I always collect?

AN: I'm very new to... well I guess this is a pretty new ship anyway but I think I'm in love! I'm thinking that this could be the start of a longer story or maybe just a drabble to get me started.

Please R&R and tell me If I should keep exploring this new pairing. I see a lot of teasing, a lot of fun, a lot of romance and an obscene amount of smut.
