Beauty and the Unexpected Beast

Malfoy Manor

(Author note: everything underline is a direct quote from the books)

"Mother? What are you doing here?" I ask hurriedly glancing in the direction of the door; my mother didn't notice.

"We wanted to come and check on you Draco." She says, trying to smile but it doesn't reach her eyes as most of her smiles lately don't. "Bella insisted on coming too."

"She's here?" I ask trying not to sound to nervous. Hermione could come into my room at any moment. "Is she and father downstairs?"

"Your father is in the drawing-room, I believe Bella is roaming around though." She replies off handedly. She stood from the side of my bed and smooths her robes. "Wash up and you can come meet us downstairs your father wishes to speak to you separately for his own reason. Look your best as to not upset him." With that she turns and walks out of the room.

I threw on random robes not caring in the least what my dear father thought seeing as he couldn't harm me without going against Voldemort's demands. The moment I was dressed I bolted out of my bed to go and get Hermione. It took me mere seconds to reach her room and I didn't hesitate in barging in meeting a very surprised Hermione who looked like she was about to leave.

"Hey" She said sweetly, then she noticed my expression and sobered up. She took a step bacwards, her eyebrows knitting together. I visibly saw her defenses go up and saw her prepare for what ever was going on. "Whats wrong Draco?"

I close the distanced between us and kissed her passionately. Our kisses were still new to us but this one was full of need and longing, it ended too quickly but it was I who pulled my lips away while still leaning my forehead against hers, holding her tightly to me. "My aunt and parents are here." I whisper and watched as her eyes widen.

"It.. it's o-okay." She stutters obviously not expecting this. "I'll just stay hidden like I did with You-Know-Who and-"

Before she could finish I put a hand over her mouth moving backwards slightly. All through my body I felt that something was wrong as a chill went down my spine. Someone was here who wasn't suppose to be and someone was-

I look back at Hermione. "Snatchers just invited themselves here too. Your friends are here too."

I didn't hesitate in hexing myself. I couldn't have them knowing who I was right away, they would figure it out if they got too close, but they couldn't be positive or they would not hesitate long enough at the manor for us to find Hermione. Ron stares at my bubbling face as I slowly loose half of my vision from my swollen eye then shoots up and jumps to action gathering things into Hermione's left over bag. Before he can grab the Gryffindor sword a snatcher comes into the tent and expelliarmused our wands and sword out of our hands. Since the bag wasn't a weapon I was able to hold that but the snatcher quickly grabs our collars and pulls us out of the tent. The sun was just now coming out and I could see through my not swollen eye that they had others who they had caught on the run. A goblin and Dean. When Dean saw us his eyes widen but wisely kept his mouth closed.

Ron was struggling and so was I, but I had no idea where the snatchers head was. He threw us on the ground and then someone else picked us up.

"Now let's see who we've got," Said a familiar voice. I try to turn around and I saw brown furry hair near the head. Fenrir Greyback. When Greyback saw me trying to look at him he thrust Ron out of my slim line of vision. "I'll need Butterbeer to wash this one down. What happened to you ugly?"

"Stung," I muttered using Hermione's old excuse. "Been stung."

Greyback narrows his eyes. "Whats your name?"
