Hello again.
Just a quick thank you again to my lovely Beta, banal. And a thank you to Legessa who's review prompted me to post this chapter. Hope you like.
Eternal Temptress
All the way to hell.
Rhea looked up from the steak she was playing with and smiled to no one in particular.
None of them had seen Hermione since they were newly-borns so they didn't know what to expect from their darling relative. They had gone to meet her at her adoptive parents house only to find that she wasn't there and that the woman could not have cared less where the teen witch was. Unfortunately, those wasted hours were what made them late for the feast - they had only just managed to catch the Knight bus to get her in time for the Sorting.
Knocking his thirteen-second-younger sibling out of her thoughts, Janus indicated that the students were returning to their dorms for the night. The four siblings stayed to themselves as they entered the common room with the help of a redheaded lug and separated only to go to their own rooms. Persephone, Pandora and Rhea headed up to the 6th year girls dorm and knocked before entering.
Inside was six queen-sized beds, each draped with gold and crimson hangings and sheets. Three of the six beds were already occupied. Two by rather whorish looking girls and the last by a honey-haired girl who was humming to a song coming through her headphones. The two slut-like girls turned to look at the three sisters.
"Who are you?" One asked, her blond shoulder length hair brushing her throat.
"I'm Pandora, this is Persephone and Rhea. We're looking for someone called Hermione Granger." Pandora replied, a slightly annoyed expression playing on her face. The second of the girls just pointed to the third girl laid on the far bed and returned to her conversation with the blond.
Rhea grinned cheekily and ran and jumped onto the bed on which the girl was laid.
Mia was jerked out of her music filled fantasy by something landing heavily on her bed. Turning slowly round she came to face the girls who had jumped on her bed.
"Who the hell are you?" Mia yelled. Rhea and her sisters jump back a little.
"We're your cousins, my name's Rhea, this is Pandora and Persephone. We've just been sorted in the great hall, we asked where you were and Harry Potter said you had left." Rhea answered in a sort of sing-song voice.
Mia raised her eyebrow at the three girls.
"Well then, I'm Hermione, but call me Mia. At least now I won't have to listen to those two talking about how hot Harry and Ron are. It's disgusting."
Rhea laughed.
"Yeah, I like the look of the Slytherins, they seem more my type of people." Pandora claimed plopping down next to Rhea. Persephone had pulled out her wand and was currently casting spells left, right and center to change the room. The material of their beds, including Mia's, changed to the color of a dark silver and were made of fine silk. The bedposts went from the oak-like brown to black cast-iron, its drapes the same as the bed sheets. The room became draped with black and silver hangings that gave the room a touch of elegance and darkness.
Mia smiled, it was very impressive.
"I like it!" she chimed putting her music away and pulling out a camera just as a tapping could be heard at the window. Mia jumped up and flung open the window to let the eerie black owl into the room. Lavender and Parvati squawked at the sight of the demonic looking bird as it landed gently on Mia's outstretched arm.
"Hello Lucifer, what you got for me?" she cooed as the owl lifted its leg for her to untie the message.
'Hey Mia,
We'll be at the door to Gryffindor in five minutes, get down to let us in.
Selene'
A grin crossed Mia's face as she hurled herself off of the bed and out of the door. Rhea shrugged her shoulders and watched as the two whores left the room muttering something about bad company and no fashion sense. Pandora pulled out her wand and grabbed the music Mia had been listening to. Mumbling out a spell the volume of the music rose to fill the room with it's heavy beat of Queen, 'Don't stop me now!'
Persephone walked into the newly conjured ensuite bathroom and changed into a short, silk nightdress of emerald green velvet with red flames licking the hem. Rhea followed suit but where Persephone's was green hers was red and vice versa. Pandora was last. Hers was black with green lace for straps and was a little longer then her sisters.
The girls sat down on Mia's bed and began chatting rapidly, covering the usual girly topics (hair, make-up, world peace). They were so engrossed in the conversation that not one of them noticed that two of the beds had disappeared from the room until the door was thrown open and a large group of teens entered.
"Where's Lav and Pav?" Mia asked, looking slightly confused but relieved all the same that they were gone.
"They left the room just after you." Persephone replied, lounging back on the bed. Her eyes meandered lazily over the new inhabitants, taking in the appearance and stature. After a calculated minute she asked: "Who are your friends?"
Pandora and Rhea turned from their positions on the bed to look at the group. A group of Slytherins. Selene was stood at the front next to Mia, Ember and Sonya had sat down on one of the other beds. Anya and Dylan were stood whispering in each others ears whilst Chris and Taylor headed over to join Ember and Sonya.
And behind Selene and Mia, stood none other than Marcus, Blaise and Draco.
"Oh, right, this is Selene Davids, over there is Ember Knight, Sonya Thompson, Taylor Bell and Chris Guinuess. The two sucking face are Anya Bell and Dylan Smith, and the three behind us are Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Marcus Flint." She pointed each of them out. "Guys," she turned to the Slytherins, and pointed to the languid figures on the bed. "Meet my cousins, Rhea, Pandora and Persephone Garik." Mia said slowly so they could each put the names to faces. Mia joined her cousins on the far bed and watched as the others made themselves comfortable. She added, pityingly: "Janus has to share a room with Harry and Ron."
An active silence grew as each tried to remember the other's names.
"So, what do you guys think of Hogwarts so far?" Mia chimed, breaking the quiet that had fallen upon the group. Selene smiled.
"It's different, but I love it. There's so many little places to slip away to." She insinuated. A knock on the door sounded, and a desperate voice quickly followed.
"PERSEPHONE, RHEA, PANDORA LET ME IN! THESE IDIOTS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!" it hollered through the wood. Rhea creased up laughing, closely echoed by Pandora and Persephone.
"We're coming Janus." Rhea called, bounding over to the door and pulling it open only to see her brother hurtle into the room and dive to the far side of the nearest bed.
"Don't let them get me!" the dark boy said, exasperated. "Those two girls keep making passes at me, somebody hex them for me!!!" he cried as his three sisters broke into fits of giggles.
"Awe, is poor Janus being mobbed by sluts?!" Pandora chirped in baby talk. Persephone was rolling on the floor clutching her sides with laughter.
"Yeah. A little red-head saved me, she punched one of them and threatened to hex the other," he replied thoughtfully. Mia nodded.
"Yeah, that'll have been Ginny. Ron's younger sister. She was probably on her way to meet Colin. They usually go sneaking round the school on the first night back to see if anything's changed at all." Mia explained. Janus nodded and crawled out from his hiding place, up onto the only unoccupied bed. The group introduced themselves to Janus quickly and started breaking off into smaller groups to talk. Eventually Draco plucked up the courage to go over to Mia. She was sprawled out over the bed carelessly.
He sat down heavily and Mia jumped from the force. Moving quickly, he pinned her to the bed and kissed her before she could protest. After a few seconds she responded to the kiss with as much force as him. He released her arms slowly to allow her to wrap them round his neck, which she did swiftly. One rested on the soft skin whilst the other slipped into his hair, which for once wasn't gelled back, it was loose and fell rakishly across his face.
One of his hands made its way from her arm to her waist where he caressed her side idly, the other supporting his weight just next to her ear.
After several more moments they parted, his eyes locked with hers looking for any sign of hostile activity towards him. After finding none he bent to kiss her throat, planting soft feather like kisses down her throat and to her collarbone. Her fingers playing through his hair had a soothing effect on him, relaxing him to an extent where he forgot about the other people in the room.
Mia surrendered herself to his kisses. His lips were too soft to refuse and despite how hard she tried to fight it, knowing that this would change everything, still, she let herself go and climbed into him, away from the world.
He nipped and kissed at her skin until another knock sounded on the door.
"'Mione, it's us, Harry and Ron, can we come in, we need to talk to you." Harry nearly yelled from the other side of the door. Sniggers could be heard from around the room.
"Come back tomorrow." She replied, almost chocking on her words as the kisses on her neck became feveringly hot.
"We need to talk to you now! We're coming in!" Ron yelled and Mia saw the door handle twist. Harry and Ron stepped into the room as the door swung wide open and gaped at the scene. There were only five gryffindors in the room, the other ten occupants in the room were...
"SLYTHERINS!!!!" Ron roared in disgust. His eyes came to focus on the beds. Scanning each one he noticed that all the occupants of the room where looking at him in distaste, including the new Gryffindors. Finally his gaze came to the last bed where a head of platinum white hair was bent over something. Scanning the room again he tried to find Hermione but couldn't.
"She said come back tomorrow, or didn't you hear?" Selene grit out angrily as Ron took a step towards the bed where Mia and Draco were indulging in each others company. Harry backed out of the room leaving Ron unknowingly on his own. Janus gave a slight nod to Harry indicating he had done the right thing in not getting involved.
He had heard from the whores who had attacked him earlier that Ron had a major crush on his cousin. This could prove to be a little bit of a problem and Harry had wisely left Ron to deal with it on his own.
Ron kept on stalking to the bed until he could clearly see the occupants.
"HERMIONE! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING???" Ron yelled. Draco moved off a little for Mia to answer.
"Playing Quidditch!" she retaliated sarcastically. "I'm making out, what does it look like?!" Ron's face was quickly trying to match his hair colour.
"'Mione, he's a Slytherin! It's MALFOY for God's sake!"
"I know very well who he is Ronald Weasley. Now why don't you be a good boy, make like a tree and LEAVE!" she bellowed back at him. His jaw dropped heavily and he left the room hurriedly. Malfoy moved and allowed her to sit up. He slid in behind her and wrapped his arms round her waist to prevent her from moving. She didn't try to struggle or escape from his embrace. She just relaxed. Rhea broke the silence.
"Well, I'm going to try and get some sleep, we have lessons tomorrow and I don't want to sleep through them."
Selene nodded in agreement. "We better head back down to the dungeons. We'll see you guys tomorrow."
With that said, most of the group departed. Mia went down to the portrait with them, Draco's arm firmly round her waist. Harry was sat in the common room by himself when they showed. He was looking through the photo album Hagrid had given him. Mia went over to the entrance and pushed it open. The filed out of the tower quickly and Draco let his arm fall way from her but not before giving her a rough kiss to say goodnight.
When she returned to the common room, Harry looked up to her in apology.
"I'm sorry Hermione. I don't know what to else to say. Ron shouldn't have said what he did. If Mal...I mean Draco is what you want then I back you completely but only as long as you're sure." He said in a quiet, almost depressed tone. Mia just watched him for a few moments quizzically before going back up to her dormitory.
Janus had left when she returned. Rhea was listening to her music and Persephone was writing a letter. Pandora was humming a song that Mia had never heard before whilst writing in what looked to be a journal.
She slipped quietly into the bathroom and changed into a nightdress that she had bought just before they came back to school. It was made of white silk and was held by spaghetti straps at the shoulders. The hem was soft white lace. The garment complimented her tan and fitted her form.
She slipped into bed and sighed lightly. Things with Draco we not going as she had planned. She had originally thought she would completely ignore him and be nasty so that eventually he would leave her alone. But now, she needed a new plan because there was no way she could avoid him. Those god- damn lips were so soft and his hands were talented. She just couldn't refuse.
Closing her eyes she decided to think about it more in the morning.
"Night guys." She murmured sleepily. It was well past midnight now and she was exhausted.
"Night Mia." The three sisters chorused as they too slipped under their silk sheets to go to sleep.
--------
The next morning came around too quickly for Mia's liking. Pushing herself up she moved from under the sheets and over to the wardrobe. Pulling out an extremely short grey skirt with splits up the side and a fitted white shirt along with underwear she headed to the bathroom. It was only 7am and her cousins were still asleep.
After changing she returned to the bedroom to find Rhea, Pandora and Persephone already dressed and waiting.
"I'm not even going to ask!" she mumbled signaling them to follow her to the great hall for breakfast.
Janus, Ginny, Colin and Dennis met them in the common room and together the group headed down to the hall.
Stares greeted the group as they entered and sat in a clump at the Gryffindor table.
"I feel like a freak." Janus said quietly before standing up. "I'm going to go sit with Chris. He said I could last night if I wanted."
The others nodded.
"So, you and Draco seem pretty close, huh Mia?" Pandora chimed, her emerald eyes glittering with mischief.
"I suppose. Oh, here come the schedules." She muttered in reply. Taking her schedule she impossibly grimaced and smiled at the same time. Potions first thing this morning, at least it was with the slytherins.
"What's the potions teacher here like?" Persephone asked helping herself to a piece of mango from the large center plate.
"Depends. If you're a Slytherin then you've got no problem, Gryffindors however...lets not get into that." Ginny replied glancing up at the teachers table where Snape was conversing with Professor McGonagall. Pandora just laughed haughtily and grabbed a donut that had magically appeared. Rhea had wandered off after Janus a few minutes before hand.
Much like last night, breakfast passed a far too fast for Mia to be impressed but she soon found herself waiting outside of the dreaded potions classroom, only hoping that she could just find somewhere to sit where she wouldn't be harassed. As soon as the door opened she pushed her way in a grabbed the desk at the back of the classroom. It was a row of four and she sat on the third seat along.
Her four cousins entered and sat at the desk in front of her together. Then one-by-one each of her friends came in. Chris, Sonya, Anya and Dylan sat at the desk across the aisle from her. Ember and Taylor sat in front of them. Selene was the last of the group to enter and took the seat to the left of Mia. Draco and Blaise where the last to enter and sat on the last two seats on Mia's row. Draco was sat against the wall next to Mia and Blaise was on the seat next to Selene. Mia smiled inwardly. She had never really had too many friends at Hogwarts, but this year she seemed to be surrounded.
Class began shortly after the arrival of Professor Snape who, as usual, flew in like a bat out of hell, cracking door off the wall in a rude wake- up entrance. They were split into groups during the first part of the lesson in which Snape also explained what they would be doing.
"Up to anything later?"
Mia turned to a smirking Draco leaning in close to her ear. Returning the smirk she ran her hand up the inside of his thigh. Snape had left the room to go into the storeroom, so, feeling a little bold she began kissing and nipping at his neck and earlobe. Then, almost as abruptly as she had started her ministrations, she switched off the desire he could see in her eyes and turned back to the cauldron coldly.
"I'm washing my hair." She whispered over her shoulder, making him gape slightly. He could hear Selene giggling in the background and frowned a bit before pulling on his best puppy dog expression and turning his gaze back to Mia.
"Oh no. That won't work with me buddy!" She quipped laughing a little as the Slytherin prince begged her. But he didn't stop. Instead it got worse.
"Okay, okay." She conceded and sighed. "What did you have in mind?"
Immediately the look was gone from Draco's face and his usual smirk was back in place.
"Carry on what we started last night, before we were rudely interrupted by Weasley." He growled in a whisper. Mia shuddered involuntarily and kissed him briefly on the lips before returning to her work.
The rest of the lesson passed without a hitch. Ron got detention but that was about it. Selene nearly blew up her cauldron (on purpose, of course) and Dylan and Anya were making out for most of the time.
Finally the day ended after lessons of Potions, Herbology and Transfiguration and the group had parked themselves unmovingly at the Gryffindor table. Persephone was sat staring at and playing with her food, prodding it around the plate with her fork. Rhea and Pandora had decided to skip dinner and had gone straight to the Gryffindor tower. Janus had gone to sit with Ginny and Luna leaving Mia with Persephone and the golden boys.
"Persephone, I'm going to go to the Slytherin table, you coming with or what?"
The girl in question raised her head and smiled wearily.
"I'm going to go up to the dormitories, I need some sleep."
Mia nodded and proceeded to head to the Slytherins. Selene noticed Mia heading their way so she pushed Draco up a bit to make space for her friend. Draco didn't see Mia until she sat down next to him. He watched quietly as she spoke to Selene with a hint of distaste.
"Hey, they treated you like shit, so make them suffer!" he heard Selene mutter loudly. Mia nodded in response and sighed.
Draco used this opportunity to slip his arm round her waist and let his hand rest on her flat stomach. He felt her relax under him and began rubbing his thumb over the material of her shirt.
Eventually after a while of being sat there, enjoying his soothing motions, she got up and left for the Gryffindor tower. Along the way she passed Lavender Brown who was making out with Ron in a darkened alcove.
"Well, if it isn't the little traitor." Lavender sneered, Ron just scowled heavily.
"Say what you want Lavender, but no good will come of it!" Mia snarled in warning making the other Gryffindor female take a step back.
"You're a traitor to Gryffindor, a whore, a slut, I could go on forever..."
"Do and I shall kill you in you're sleep, and I won't have a second thought about it. If anyone is the whore, it's you! And you better damn well remember it because next time I won't give you a second chance!" Mia interrupted. Lavender gaped openly at Mia, as did Ron.
She stalked away darkly, leaving them there staring at an empty space.
Soon she reached the entrance to the tower and said the password in a low toned growl. Pushing her way through the door she ran up to her dorm room. Rhea was sat playing a video game, Persephone was humming away in the shower and Pandora was no-where in sight.
"Mia, you ok?" Rhea asked switching off the console. Mia threw herself onto her bed and clutched the pillow.
"No, I need a good stiff drink." She mumbled, her word slightly muffled from the pillow. She heard the door open and close but didn't bother looking up.
"Well here we are to save the day!" a voice sang from the center of the room. Mia looked up from her position on the bed and glanced behind her only to see Selene, Ember, Sonya and Anya carrying bottles of liqueur. Each was in their nightclothes, all of which were rather skimpy. Anya let out a girly squeal and jumped on Persephone's bed, Ember went to join Rhea and Sonya scuffled over to Pandora.
"So, you and my cousin huh?" Selene asked quietly as she sat down cross- legged in front of Mia. She watched as Mia tried not to smile.
"I guess. He's still an ignorant pig but I guess that'll never change!"
Selene just nodded and opened the bottle in her hand.
"Shot glasses?"
Mia nodded and opened the trunk at the foot of her bed. Inside were various trinkets and boxes. Raking around to the bottom she pulled out a black satin box and opened it out onto the bed. Eight crystal shot glasses were its contents.
"Tequila?" Selene yelled to the room. A chorus of yeses were her answer.
She laughed a little and poured Mia and herself a shot, passing the glasses and bottle to the next in line. She grinned at her friend as their glasses collided in the air with a faint 'chink'.
"Tequila." She nodded approvingly of the drink and downed it.
Mia quirked an eyebrow. "It makes me happy." She followed Selene's example and the liqueur was gone, firing her throat.
"Here here!" Rattled around the room and the session was underway. Mia grinned again unable to stop herself. Right now, she knew she was lucky.
And she was going to enjoy that.
See you next time kiddies.
Quick note. I'm just going into my exam period and should be done pretty soon, I only have seven to sit. Anyways, I'll be putting more effort into this whilst I'm on study leave. So I should be updating sooner.

"'Mione, he's a Slytherin! It's MALFOY for God's sake!"
"I know very well who he is Ronald Weasley. Now why don't you be a good boy, make like a tree and LEAVE!" she bellowed back at him. His jaw dropped heavily and he left the room hurriedly. Malfoy moved and allowed her to sit up. He slid in behind her and wrapped his arms round her waist to prevent her from moving. She didn't try to struggle or escape from his embrace. She just relaxed. Rhea broke the silence.
"Well, I'm going to try and get some sleep, we have lessons tomorrow and I don't want to sleep through them."
Selene nodded in agreement. "We better head back down to the dungeons. We'll see you guys tomorrow."
With that said, most of the group departed. Mia went down to the portrait with them, Draco's arm firmly round her waist. Harry was sat in the common room by himself when they showed.

The filed out of the tower quickly and Draco let his arm fall way from her but not before giving her a rough kiss to say goodnight.
When she returned to the common room, Harry looked up to her in apology.
"I'm sorry Hermione. I don't know what to else to say. Ron shouldn't have said what he did. If Mal...I mean Draco is what you want then I back you completely but only as long as you're sure." He said in a quiet, almost depressed tone. Mia just watched him for a few moments quizzically before going back up to her dormitory.
Janus had left when she returned. Rhea was listening to her music and Persephone was writing a letter. Pandora was humming a song that Mia had never heard before whilst writing in what looked to be a journal.
She slipped quietly into the bathroom and changed into a nightdress that she had bought just before they came back to school. It was made of white silk and was held by spaghetti straps at the shoulders. The hem was soft white lace. The garment complimented her tan and fitted her form.
She slipped into bed and sighed lightly. Things with Draco we not going as she had planned. She had originally thought she would completely ignore him and be nasty so that eventually he would leave her alone. But now, she needed a new plan because there was no way she could avoid him. Those god- damn lips were so soft and his hands were talented. She just couldn't refuse.
Closing her eyes she decided to think about it more in the morning.
"Night guys." She murmured sleepily. It was well past midnight now and she was exhausted.
"Night Mia." The three sisters chorused as they too slipped under their silk sheets to go to sleep.
--------
The next morning came around too quickly for Mia's liking. Pushing herself up she moved from under the sheets and over to the wardrobe. Pulling out an extremely short grey skirt with splits up the side and a fitted white shirt along with underwear she headed to the bathroom. It was only 7am and her cousins were still asleep.
After changing she returned to the bedroom to find Rhea, Pandora and Persephone already dressed and waiting.
"I'm not even going to ask!" she mumbled signaling them to follow her to the great hall for breakfast.
Janus, Ginny, Colin and Dennis met them in the common room and together the group headed down to the hall.
Stares greeted the group as they entered and sat in a clump at the Gryffindor table.
"I feel like a freak." Janus said quietly before standing up. "I'm going to go sit with Chris. He said I could last night if I wanted."
The others nodded.
"So, you and Draco seem pretty close, huh Mia?" Pandora chimed, her emerald eyes glittering with mischief.
"I suppose. Oh, here come the schedules." She muttered in reply. Taking her schedule she impossibly grimaced and smiled at the same time. Potions first thing this morning, at least it was with the slytherins.
"What's the potions teacher here like?" Persephone asked helping herself to a piece of mango from the large center plate.
"Depends. If you're a Slytherin then you've got no problem, Gryffindors however...lets not get into that." Ginny replied glancing up at the teachers table where Snape was conversing with Professor McGonagall. Pandora just laughed haughtily and grabbed a donut that had magically appeared. Rhea had wandered off after Janus a few minutes before hand.
Much like last night, breakfast passed a far too fast for Mia to be impressed but she soon found herself waiting outside of the dreaded potions classroom, only hoping that she could just find somewhere to sit where she wouldn't be harassed. As soon as the door opened she pushed her way in a grabbed the desk at the back of the classroom. It was a row of four and she sat on the third seat along.
Her four cousins entered and sat at the desk in front of her together. Then one-by-one each of her friends came in. Chris, Sonya, Anya and Dylan sat at the desk across the aisle from her. Ember and Taylor sat in front of them. Selene was the last of the group to enter and took the seat to the left of Mia. Draco and Blaise where the last to enter and sat on the last two seats on Mia's row. Draco was sat against the wall next to Mia and Blaise was on the seat next to Selene. Mia smiled inwardly. She had never really had too many friends at Hogwarts, but this year she seemed to be surrounded.
Class began shortly after the arrival of Professor Snape who, as usual, flew in like a bat out of hell, cracking door off the wall in a rude wake- up entrance. They were split into groups during the first part of the lesson in which Snape also explained what they would be doing.
"Up to anything later?"
Mia turned to a smirking Draco leaning in close to her ear. Returning the smirk she ran her hand up the inside of his thigh. Snape had left the room to go into the storeroom, so, feeling a little bold she began kissing and nipping at his neck and earlobe. Then, almost as abruptly as she had started her ministrations, she switched off the desire he could see in her eyes and turned back to the cauldron coldly.
"I'm washing my hair." She whispered over her shoulder, making him gape slightly. He could hear Selene giggling in the background and frowned a bit before pulling on his best puppy dog expression and turning his gaze back to Mia.
"Oh no. That won't work with me buddy!" She quipped laughing a little as the Slytherin prince begged her. But he didn't stop. Instead it got worse.
"Okay, okay." She conceded and sighed. "What did you have in mind?"
Immediately the look was gone from Draco's face and his usual smirk was back in place.
"Carry on what we started last night, before we were rudely interrupted by Weasley." He growled in a whisper. Mia shuddered involuntarily and kissed him briefly on the lips before returning to her work.
The rest of the lesson passed without a hitch. Ron got detention but that was about it. Selene nearly blew up her cauldron (on purpose, of course) and Dylan and Anya were making out for most of the time.
Finally the day ended after lessons of Potions, Herbology and Transfiguration and the group had parked themselves unmovingly at the Gryffindor table. Persephone was sat staring at and playing with her food, prodding it around the plate with her fork. Rhea and Pandora had decided to skip dinner and had gone straight to the Gryffindor tower. Janus had gone to sit with Ginny and Luna leaving Mia with Persephone and the golden boys.
"Persephone, I'm going to go to the Slytherin table, you coming with or what?"
The girl in question raised her head and smiled wearily.
"I'm going to go up to the dormitories, I need some sleep."
Mia nodded and proceeded to head to the Slytherins. Selene noticed Mia heading their way so she pushed Draco up a bit to make space for her friend. Draco didn't see Mia until she sat down next to him. He watched quietly as she spoke to Selene with a hint of distaste.
"Hey, they treated you like shit, so make them suffer!" he heard Selene mutter loudly. Mia nodded in response and sighed.
Draco used this opportunity to slip his arm round her waist and let his hand rest on her flat stomach. He felt her relax under him and began rubbing his thumb over the material of her shirt.
Eventually after a while of being sat there, enjoying his soothing motions, she got up and left for the Gryffindor tower. Along the way she passed Lavender Brown who was making out with Ron in a darkened alcove.
"Well, if it isn't the little traitor." Lavender sneered, Ron just scowled heavily.
"Say what you want Lavender, but no good will come of it!" Mia snarled in warning making the other Gryffindor female take a step back.
"You're a traitor to Gryffindor, a whore, a slut, I could go on forever..."
"Do and I shall kill you in you're sleep, and I won't have a second thought about it. If anyone is the whore, it's you! And you better damn well remember it because next time I won't give you a second chance!" Mia interrupted. Lavender gaped openly at Mia, as did Ron.
She stalked away darkly, leaving them there staring at an empty space.
Soon she reached the entrance to the tower and said the password in a low toned growl. Pushing her way through the door she ran up to her dorm room. Rhea was sat playing a video game, Persephone was humming away in the shower and Pandora was no-where in sight.
"Mia, you ok?" Rhea asked switching off the console. Mia threw herself onto her bed and clutched the pillow.
"No, I need a good stiff drink." She mumbled, her word slightly muffled from the pillow. She heard the door open and close but didn't bother looking up.
"Well here we are to save the day!" a voice sang from the center of the room. Mia looked up from her position on the bed and glanced behind her only to see Selene, Ember, Sonya and Anya carrying bottles of liqueur. Each was in their nightclothes, all of which were rather skimpy. Anya let out a girly squeal and jumped on Persephone's bed, Ember went to join Rhea and Sonya scuffled over to Pandora.
"So, you and my cousin huh?" Selene asked quietly as she sat down cross- legged in front of Mia. She watched as Mia tried not to smile.
"I guess. He's still an ignorant pig but I guess that'll never change!"
Selene just nodded and opened the bottle in her hand.
"Shot glasses?"
Mia nodded and opened the trunk at the foot of her bed. Inside were various trinkets and boxes. Raking around to the bottom she pulled out a black satin box and opened it out onto the bed. Eight crystal shot glasses were its contents.
"Tequila?" Selene yelled to the room. A chorus of yeses were her answer.
She laughed a little and poured Mia and herself a shot, passing the glasses and bottle to the next in line. She grinned at her friend as their glasses collided in the air with a faint 'chink'.
"Tequila." She nodded approvingly of the drink and downed it.
Mia quirked an eyebrow. "It makes me happy." She followed Selene's example and the liqueur was gone, firing her throat.
"Here here!" Rattled around the room and the session was underway. Mia grinned again unable to stop herself. Right now, she knew she was lucky.
And she was going to enjoy that.
See you next time kiddies.
Quick note. I'm just going into my exam period and should be done pretty soon, I only have seven to sit. Anyways, I'll be putting more effort into this whilst I'm on study leave. So I should be updating sooner.
