Forced Love

Chapter 17

Hey its Jazzy!

Important: At the end of this chapter is the beginnings (sort of an implication) of a sex scene.  Immediately after I upload this chapter, I will upload the entire sex scene.  Please don't read the scene if you don't want to; we made it like a one-shot so people that were uncomfortable didn't have to read it.  With that, enjoy this chapter.

***(Hermione's POV in 3rd Person)***

"OMG! Hermione! Who's your...friend?" Valerie asked, batting her eyelashes at Draco.  Draco squeezed Hermione's hand.

"Uh-" Hermione started, but was cut off by her mother entering the room.

"It's time to eat!" Jean said, smiling brightly at Hermione and Draco, who were still discreetly holding hands.

Valerie, Bella, Hermione, and Draco entered the dining room, where plates of food were on the table.  Everyone else was mostly seated. Hermione's aunts and uncles were gaping, surprised at the arrival of Draco.  Once food was on everyone's plates, the conversation started.

"Who is this?" Hermione's aunt April asked, smiling a fake smile towards Hermione.

"I'm Draco Malfoy." Draco answered, a glint in his eye.

"Malfoy? I believe I've heard that name before..." Aunt April said.  "Malfoy...Malfoy...Oh! I've got it! It's the name of a business, isn't it?"

"Yes, Malfoy Enterprises.  It's a family business."

"Oh? How much is it worth?" Asked Uncle Roberto.

Draco looked helpless at Hermione, not knowing the muggle translation of the company's worth.

"It's around 780 billion, but the family has more money ." Hermione provided.

Everyone's eyes widened.

"What?!" Aunt April dropped her fork.  "What are you doing with Hermione here, then?"

"We're together." Draco avoided telling them that they were married because they weren't invited to the wedding.

"Together? How did THAT happen? Hermione's a little...bookworm-ish." Valerie glared at Hermione.

"We go to the same school.  You know, the prestigious boarding school in Scotland." Hermione said, shooting a mean glance at Valerie.

"Oh, right.  Valerie and I googled your school.  Nothing showed up."  Bella had an evil glint in her eye.

"It's extremely private.  You can only get in through invitation." Hermione shot back.

After a few minutes of awkward silence, Jean cleared her throat.  "Is the food alright?" She asked.

"It's wonderful." Draco said.

"Thank you." Jean responded.  "So, Valerie, Bella, what are you two doing nowadays?"

"Well," Bella smiled icily.  "I happen to be in my last year of studying in high school.  And I've gotten accepted to a good college already.  Daddy had some ties with important people and they let me in."

"She's very successful." Aunt April bragged.

"And I," Valerie started.  "Am in an extremely expensive college.  My parents have the money to get me admitted.  And I got a job offer to work as a fashion designer!"

"That's great." Jean replied, offering a weak smile.

"So Hermione, what are you going to be? A secretary?" Bella snickered.
