My Father's Only Rule {DRACO MALFOY X SNAPE'S DAUGHTER}

Chapter Fourteen: The Sex Ghost

November 1997 - Hogwarts

One early November morning, the students were buzzing in the great hall over breakfast. I couldn't figure out what was going on until Seamus Finnigan and Hannah Abbot walked into the great hall with their heads down. It prompted murmuring and laughter.

"I couldn't imagine recovering from that," Blaise said.

"Recovering from what?" I asked.

"You didn't hear?" Jane asked, a smile dying to take over.

"No," I said quickly. "What? What is it?"

"They were caught doing it in the broom closet," Jane said, resisting the urge to smile.

"Shut up," I said.

"Yeah," Blaise said. "A bunch of people are being caught lately, but they were caught during a class change. Everybody was in the hall to witness it."

"Wait, what do you mean everyone's being caught?" I asked. I know from experience that Hogwarts has never done anything about students having sex at school.

"Who caught them?" Draco asked.

"The sex ghost," Jane said, the smile finally taking over. I spit out my water.

"The what?" Draco and I asked in unison.

"Yeah," she said. "Snape got tired of all the...attempts. He asked the ministry to admit a new ghost. Her real name is Lady Victoria Valentine but everyone calls her the sex ghost. It's so much worse than being busted by a teacher. If she catches you, she makes a big spectacle of it and your face goes on the wall of shame. It's right outside the great hall."

"How did we not know about this?" Draco asked.

"It just happened," Jane said. "She just arrived yesterday."

"And my dad requested it?"

"Yeah," Jane laughed. "It sucks, but it's actually so funny."

My jaw dropped and my eyes doubled in size. I slowly looked up at the teacher's table to see my dad, sipping his drink with a mischievous smile. The only time I had ever seen him smile. He didn't get the ghost to stop the other students. He got the ghost to stop me. This was what I got for breaking his rule. This was his revenge.

"I'm not taking it," I said.

"What do you mean you're not taking it?" Jane asked.

"I mean this is his easy way out," I explained. "Let's be honest, teachers don't like catching students any more than students like to be caught by teachers. It makes them uncomfortable so they got a ghost to humiliate students out of having sex, something that is totally normal for teenagers to do."

"You're crazy," Blaise said.

"Crazy for justice," I said back. "I bet Ilvermorny would never stand for this. Those Americans love their freedom. Come on, Jane. Back me up."

"I'm in," she said.

"Are you serious?" Blaise said. "This isn't that big of a deal."

"Yes, Blaise," she said. "I am serious. Sexual freedom for Hogwarts students." Draco and Blaise stared at her like she was delusional. "...Consenting...appropriately aged Hogwarts students," she added. Draco rolled his eyes.

"We're getting rid of that bitch," I said through a mouthful of pastry. "Right now. Come on, Jane." Jane and I both got up from the table and stormed out.
