Love the Darkness

Chapter 7

Draco

Hailey is asleep as soon as she hits the pillow. I turn to Mattheo and see him lost in thought.

"What is on your mind?" I ask.

"Everything is happening around us and I feel like I don't have enough time with her. We have a week and a half for break and we still have so much to do."

"I know what you mean. I had hoped we would have time this break to just be together. I know she has ambitions, but I'm worried she is trying to stay busy for another reason." Mattheo turns to me his eyes wide.

"Do you think the bond is riding her to be completed because I know it is me?" I hadn't thought about that but it makes sense.

"What do we do about it?" He seems to think for a little while before he smirks.

"We show her that being with us will be different than with others." I cringe at the mention of her with others. I know it wasn't her choice, but it still hurt.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" His smirk becomes a full-on grin and I smile.

Hailey

I wake to find both of my men wrapped around me. I smile relaxing into their hold. I felt complete with them but knew the feeling wouldn't last. I had to get up and check on everyone. I try to wiggle out from their hold for Mattheo to tighten his hold and open his eyes.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I have to go check on everyone." He doesn't answer me instead reaches up cupping my cheek pulling me into a kiss. All thoughts of leaving the bed leaves my mind. He lightly places his hand around my neck and I can't help the moan that escapes me. He pulls back and smirks.

"You like that don't you. Me being in control." I blush but nod. I feel hands on my hips and lips on the back of my neck.

"You might not submit to anyone else, but you will us," Draco whispers in my ear, his hot breath sending shivers through me. Mattheo doesn't give me a chance to answer, he squeezes a little tighter and pulls me forward kissing me. The dual sensation has me squirming. They both release me and climb out of bed. I groan but follow. I was now severely turned on but didn't know if I was ready for the next step. The memories of my past had less of a hold but they were still there.

We leave the room, going to find the twins. I spot them in the kitchen already eating.

"I would like to talk to you after breakfast," I say to them. They nod and go back to eating. We keep the conversation light until everyone is finished. I lead them to Tom's office and knock. Once we enter and get settled I motion for them to give a full report. I listen intently as they explain the situation. Once they finish I sigh.

"Thank you both, I will be giving you both your marks later today," I say dismissing them.

"Mattheo I have decided to give you the option to homeschool this year. It will allow you to see Hailey once a week and you will be on standby if needed." Tom says.

"Sounds good to me. This summer I think we should head to Bulgaria, having international allies will help."

"We own a home in Italy and father gets along with their prime minister," Draco says.

"I think that is a good idea. I also need to set up a meeting with the werewolves and the vampire coven." I say. Tom looks between us before smiling.

"You won't be happy with only Britain will you?" I allow a sinister smile to form.

"Of course not, it is time the wizarding world become one." Tom laughs as we walk out of the office.

I find Narcissa sitting with Bellatrix and walk over. I needed their help and I also needed to find out if Bellatrix was going to be an issue.

"Hello Narcissa, Bellatrix. I have a small problem I was hoping you would help me with. Some of the girls in my group are new to the Old Ways and I was wondering if you would help tutor them." Narcissa smiles at me.

"Of course. It will be good to have the Old Ways back." I smile nodding my thanks before looking at Bellatrix.

"I don't see what a group of children could do but I don't mind helping." I laugh at her response.

"No one expects a child to be a master manipulator. The word of an innocent child is mostly ignored but it plants seeds. Let the Dark Lord do the terror while we slowly turn the wizarding world against their leader." She looks at me with surprise before she laughs.

"That is brilliant."

"Thank you, we already have Madam Bones doubting the old fool, her precious niece wouldn't lie to her," I say matching her laugh. "I also know you are one of the dark lord's best duelists, would you mind giving some of my members pointer. Might as well learn from the best."

"I would be more than happy. I need to brush up on my skills anyways." She says standing, no doubt to go round up my members that are here. Once out of earshot Narcissa turns to me smiling.

"It really does work." I laugh and take a seat.

"Every time. I also plan to claim my seats at Wizengamot. I am older than my brother so the seats belong to me. I also have a few others that will shock a few people. I need to see if Lucius with be my proxy." I say. So much to do and so little time.

"He would be thrilled but I didn't think you would want to work so closely with him," Narcissa says raising a brow.

"Yes well Draco loves his father and I know it hurts him we don't get along. I can be civil if he can." I say with a shrug. Her smile becomes soft as she pats my hand.

"I will allow you to go find him." I nod and stand.

Lucius

I sit in my office going over paperwork and trying to hide from the children who have overrun my house. A knock on the door has me groaning before calling out for them to enter. I narrow my eyes slightly as Hailey walks in alone.

"What can I do for you?"

"I want to claim my Ladyship and claim my seats. I wanted to know if you would like to be my proxy while I finish school." My eyes go wide before I can control myself.

"Why me?" I don't really have a problem with her but we did not get along.

"You know the laws better than anyone and I think it is time to put our differences aside. It hurts Draco that we can't get along and I don't want to be the reason for his pain."

"I agree, I love my son, you are a good mate and I accept your offer. We are family after all." She smiles one of her rare genuine smiles and I can't help but smile back. She pulls out some paperwork and I freeze reading over it. How did she have control over so many houses? It hits me that this child in front of me is one of the most powerful witches in Britain, not just magically but politically.
