Summer was now a third of the way over at the Malfoy home. Yes, there were only two short months before Draco had to return back to Hogwarts to start his fifth year of schooling. The day outside was one that was not unusual for this time in London. It was sunny and warm, but incredibly windy.
Draco awoke that morning very late. What was to be expected on a summer day? Children were supposed to sleep in and lounge around all day instead of doing anything worth while. Draco rubbed his eyes and pushed the covers off of him. The sun that was coming through his window was too bright to bear. he pushed his fet off the sideof the king side bed and stood up.
Draco walked over to his window and pulled the curtains closed to lock out all the sunlight as he awoke completely. As soon as the room was darker he walked over to his huge closet and walked inside. He took a shirt off a hanger and a pair of pants. He got out all the other peices of clothing he would need and walked out of the closet. He then walked over to his bathroom and turned on the water forthe shower.
As the water in the shower warmed up he started to undress. Before climbing into the shower Draco admired himself in the mirror then turned away. The warm water felt fantastic on his body.

Astoria and her family had gotten an invite to spend a week with the Malfoys.She was not sure of the real reason, though she assumed her father had some business with Mr. Malfoy.She didn't mind though, she always liked their manor.Hers was nice, but of course not as big.She loved exploring it most of all.She always seemed to find something new there.
She loved the room most of all that she had been given to stay in.She smiled as she layed on her bed.It was still early enough, to do a bit of exploring before everyone woke up.She got up and put on a lovely white blouse and a pair of jeans, that formed to her shape.She had a beautiful shape, one in which she loved and prised.She looked at her self in the mirror making sure her hair was perfect, and she looked great.
When she was satisfied she eyed her self a bit more, and left the room.She walked down the halls.She could hear the tiny noises, but nothing she knew that would be someone waking up.She felt the cold of the cellar as she went down.She had never been this far down, but she wanted to see what it held.She lost track of time as she looked at every single inch of the cellar.She heard something and jumped.she hid in the shadows, though not to near the cobwebs so as not to get dirty or her perfect hair messed up.

Draco stayed in the shower for nearly an hour before he decided that he was clean enough to climb out. He got out and dried himself off with a towel that hung right next to the shower. After he was finished he admired himself in the mirror again and wrapped the towel around his waist. Draco then walked over to the sink and picked up his bottle of gel. He squeezed some of it out onto his hand and put it in his hair.
Once his hair was just how he liked it he got dressed and left his bathroom. His bedroom was now neat and tighty, as though he hadn't even been in it at all. What a wonderful thing house elves were. They were never seen, but their work was amazing. Draco grabbed the socks that had been left on his bed as he sat down and put them on his clean feet. He then put on the shoes that were also left on his bed and laced them up.
Draco thought for a moment on what he should do. He had already gone down to the lake the day before, and the garden the day before that, and somewhere else the day before that, and the list went on. That left only one place to go...his secret room. No one his family really knew about it and if they did they wouldn't dare go in it. It was all the way in the cellar, a place where none of his family would go because it was too dirty.
It wasn't long before Draco was down in the cellar. He was making his way to the secret room when he stopped dead in his tracks. He heard something in the dark cellar. If only h had brought some sort of light. Well, it was a bit to late for that.
"Who's there?" Draco asked as he looked around, waiting for a reply.

When Astoria heard a voice ask who was there, she knew who it was.Draco Malfoy, the thought of him made her mad.She didn't know why but she couldn't stand him.Her sister had always been good friends with him, and hung around him and his gang.She would stay with those in her year, and far away form him as possible.She felt the anger boil inside her.Her heart feeling as though it would explode in a single moment if he knew it was her.
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her wand.she was not sure if he had his, and she was not about to let him do anything to her.She retreated further into the shadows, making sure not to make any sound.She only hoped he forgot about it and thought it was a rat or something that would not make him think it was her.She smiled though as she watched him.Though stopped as she realized this and held her breath.

Draco continued to look around as he waited for an answer. He could hear the breathing of someone and by the sound of the scattered breaths it was a woman. Draco looked to his right as he listened. He could hear the person moving now. They seemed to be backing up. Draco turned to his left and started to walk toward the noise.
"Who is there?" Draco asked again as he took another step.
He could tell that he was getting closer to whoever it was. He was also getting closer to his secret room, which he didn't want the person, whoever it was, stumbling upon. It was his secret and he didn't want anyone else to know about it. Draco reached down to his pocket as if he was foing to grab his wand, but noticed that it wasn't there. He sighed and shook his head.
"I won't hurt you," Draco said as he tired to listen for the person. "All I ask is that you stop backing up."

Astoria looked dead on, she could feel her heart beating out of her chest.He was coming toward her, he knew she was there.She heard his voice once more.She knew how and what she wanted to say, but nothing seemed to come out as she opened her mouth.She backed up, the only defense her brain could think of.She hit the wall, and felt something, though a rat crawled across her shoe, and made her jump forward a bit.
She was standing in front of him now.She had no escape.She suddenly pulled a more tough looking face and finally replied."Why should I believe that you won't hurt me.Draco malfoy not hurt someone.Come on, you hurt and torture people for pleasure like all other Slytherins."She held up her wand, her eyes fixed on him with a look that screamed don't mess with me.
She looked back to the wall, she thought of it.she had hit something hard something that didn't feel like a just a wall.She looked back to him."So you want me to stop backing up huh? Why I wonder."At these words she back up almost to the wall. One more step back and she would hit it again.She was not going to leave.She was curious now.

He heard the person back up more and hit the wall. He wanted to hit himself in the head for making the person back up and almost stumble upon his secret room. Hethen heard the sound of a rat scurring by. The person that had been backing up had obviously gotten scared and jumped forward. The person now stood right in front of him. Draco could finally see who it was.
Astoria? Why was she down here? She least of all he would have expected down here. Astoria was the kind of girl that always cared about her looks. Draco han't expected her to come down here in the dust and grime of the cellar. Draco listened to her words and watched as she raised her wand to him. Well, at least one of themhad their wands.
"Astoria, what are you doing down here?" Draco asked, his voice cold. "I of all people would not harm a guest in my house. You should know that. Do you know how bad that would look to the rest of the wizarding world? The Malfoy name would be a discrace."
Draco shook his head then focused his eyes straight on Astoria. She wanted to knw why she shoudl stop backing up. what answer could he give her? What could he tell her that she might believe? Was there anything that he could tell her that she would believe? He couldn't think of anything logical to tell her.
"Just don't back up," Draco settled on saying finally. He spoke firmly to try to convince her not to back up more.

Astoria smiled as she listened to him, carefully choosing her words.She knew he meant what he said, though she also still wanted to know what he was hiding."I am sure that you could find some way of explaining that it was an accident.Your a Slytherin for crying out loud.Your naturally cunning am I right?So tell me Malfoy, Why can't I back up?What are you afraid of?Me finding something, and telling? Ooh that makes it more fun."A mischievous smile crossed her face, as she reached back and touched it.She didn't open it, though she just waited to see if he would think she would.

"Of course I am cunning," Draco said as he glared slightly at Astoria. "It doesn't matter if I would be able to twist things around to make it seem like an accident. I would not do that on my honor. Not to a guest, at least. The Malfoy name is all about honor, remember?"
Draco nodded to himself, never taking his eyes off of Astoria. This girl was startign to drive him crazy. He exprected her to just stop and take his word instead of continuing to back up, but he guessed that was too much to ask for. Then again, it was Astoria. He had never been one to listen. She should've been listening now. He was a Malfoy. The Malfoys were one of the most respected wizarding families in all the world.
"What is back there is none of your concern," Draco sneered. Truthfully he just wanted to keep the secret for himself.
