Redamancy (d.m)

Chapter sixty eight-comfortable distaste

"(Y/n)" Aletheo whispered, placing a hand on my shoulder as we walked with everyone else back to Westeria's dorm to hang out before our mission that night
"Hm?" I hummed as we trailed slightly behind the rest of the group
"Let's go somewhere" he said with a sly smile
"We are going somewhere" I pointed out, making him roll his eyes
"Somewhere fun" he clarified, and I pursed my lips in mock contemplation
"Only because I can't stand watching Westeria and Rue act like an old married couple" I said with a nod
"You know we can hear you, you're like five inches behind us" Rue called from behind her shoulder
"Let them leave, it's their loss" Westeria said, ushering us away as she pulled Rue into a kiss, and Blaise and Emerson made a gagging motion towards me and Aletheo as we walked back down the hall
"So where's fun in your mind?" I questioned
"I guess you'll find out when we get there" he mused
"Okay so it's either a slaughterhouse or a sex dungeon and I honestly wouldn't be opposed to either"I joked, making him shove my shoulder playfully as we walked into the dining room
"Ew, what the fuck are you doing back here?" Pansy sneered as we passed the group of Slytherins still chatting with empty breakfast plates
"It's called walking, really revolutionary" I replied, plucking a sugar cube from a small bowl and tossing it into my mouth as we passed the table heading towards the door
"Did you just eat a cube of sugar?" Aletheo said with scrunched eyebrows
"Woah, I don't know what I did to deserve all that judgment but I'll just pin it on sexism and call it day" I said with a gasp, making Aletheo swear under his breath
"You're such a pain in the arse" he said with a smirk
"Oh please, you wanna fuck me so bad, it's embarrassing" I replied, making him chase me the rest of the way to the door and out to the backyard patio.

I was so distracted trying to run away that I missed how Draco shoved Astoria off his lap, glaring at my disappearing form with a temperamental glare

"Okay so I still haven't seen a slaughterhouse or a sex dungeon" I said, shaking my head with lighthearted disappointment
"Do you ever stop complaining?" Aletheo said with a groan
"Dunno, maybe you should try shutting me up" I said with a smug smile, making him pull me in abruptly and brushing his lips against mine

Comfortable.

This was comfortable. It was comforting to receive the reassurance that I was more than Draco's convenient fuck.

But I didn't think I cared much for comfort anymore.

"Look at that, it worked" Aletheo said as he pulled away, "lesson learned"
"And yet, still no sex dungeon" I remarked as we walked
"No, but here's the next best thing" he said, pointing to a treehouse nestled in a large oak tree
"Holy shit" I said with a squeal as I climbed up the flimsy ladder, "well come on, you lazy worm"

Hours passed, the glow of Aletheo's structured face growing darker as the sun set. The more he kissed me, the more I felt a distaste for comfort. Time ticked away as it was filled with laughter, conversation, and more comfort

"Shit I have to go, I'm gonna be late" I said breathlessly, breaking apart from his mouth and swinging a leg around as I pulled off his lap
"The Dark Lord told me what he's going to have you guys do" Aletheo said sternly, pulling me up after him, "and please don't do anything stupid"
"Care to elaborate" I said hopefully, making him grin
"You know I can't do that" he said
"I'll see you afterwards then" I called as I jogged back up to the manor, the shape of his body sitting on the treehouse opening growing smaller with distance

I felt exceptionally uneasy about the task I, along with Draco and the Mercer siblings, had just been bestowed upon

"Tonight, you will undergo a sort of...undercover mission, if you will" Lord Voldemort has hissed at as, "at a muggle establishment"

It was a muggle night club

"I have an enemy who frequents this establishment, a powerful wizard who must be handled with caution" Voldemort had told us, supplying us with photos of such establishment and wizard, a teenage boy a bit older than myself, "he is a threat to me, he must be eliminated"

He meant murdered. We had become his hit squad.

"As you will notice, he is seventeen, which is where you four come in" Lord Voldemort continued, circling the seats where we sat, "he mustn't be killed in public, it would create far too much hassle. You will find a way to lure him alone, and then you will kill him. He must not be found, I trust you to be able to correctly dispose of his body"

He stopped walking, staring down at us with slitted glowing pupils

"Do I make myself clear?" He croaked,
"Yes, my Lord" we all chorused, bowing our heads
"Obtain yourselves some clothing appropriate for such a provocative environment, apparate in the deserted alleyway behind the building, whether you chose to arrive together or separate is your choice entirely, do whatever is necessary to get the job done"

And so I stood in a dark alleyway next to a dumpster and Westeria, both of us persistently pulling down dangerously high rise skirts while Emerson and Draco got to wear perfectly comfortable muggle attire

"Okay so-plan" Westeria said as I pushed my wand down my bra and out of sight, "common sense-what's the one thing that'll get a drunk teenage boy to leave a club?"
"More alcohol?" Emerson said uncertainly
"The alcohol is in the club, dimwit" Westeria snapped, checking her makeup in a pocket mirror, "it's clear who got the smart genes"
"Just enlighten us so we can get the hell out of here" Draco snarled
"A hot girl, duh" Westeria said with an obvious look, "now fortunately, I don't swing that way...but you know who does?"
"Fuck off" I said immediately as her eyes shot me a knowing glance
"Come on, (y/n), it's a good plan, get him black out drunk, we'll be begging to take you home, and we'll avada kedavra him there"
"No" Draco said flatly, "absolutely not"
"We would never let him hurt you, (y/n)" Emerson said earnestly, "we just need him alone"
"What we need is a plan that isn't bullshit" Draco said harshly
"Look, if we're going to be doing this, we need to blend in, act natural" I said with a sigh
"Yeah, it'll look suspicious if (y/n) heads directly to him as soon as she arrives"
"She's not-" Draco began again
"Yes I am, unless you can think of something better, raising a brow as Draco stood in glaring silence, "exactly"
"Alright then, (y/n), just be hot, you know all about that so this should be easy" Westeria said, and I rustled my hair slightly to give it an alluring bounce
"Are we ready?" Emerson asked with a hand on the entrance door, and we all gave a nervous nod "let's go"
