Chapter 56: A Lesson in Respect
"My Lord that was…" Draco's statement finished less than a second later when a hand wrapped around his collar, and threw him into the wall.
" What " Harry growled out, mere inches away from the Malfoy heir's face, "did I say about referring to me like that in public?"
"I-I-I… b-but my Lord they already…"
He was pulled back, before slammed into the wall again, cracking it and earning a cry of pain from the boy. "Does it look like I care about your opinions or excuses Draco?"
"N-no my Lord, a thousand apologies I…" he was released, falling to the ground in a crumpled mess the moment the words left his lips.
The raven-haired teen retook his seat, utterly ignoring the blonde as he tapped his fingers on his knee in thought. "Very unexpected… but I do believe I can use this…" Harry muttered, as he began to go through calculations in his head, plans created and discarded faster than any human could ever hope to do.
"My Lord is there anything I can help with?" Pansy purred as she sat down next to him, not even bothering to hide the desire in her eyes for the teen.
"Hm? Oh yes we were in the middle of something weren't we… well we will just have to continue later Pansy my dear, the mood has been ruined a bit I am afraid."
Although her smile fell slightly the lust did not waiver from her expression as the Parkinson heiress nodded in reluctance.
"I suppose I will need one of you to do something for me though."
"Anything my Lord! Please allow me to redeem myself."
The boy nodded towards his 'second in command' "Very well Draco, I do believe it is time to begin revealing my presence to the world… which means that like those who came before me I am going to need an inner circle…"

"Attention students, attention please. As you all have most likely heard, due to the recent prison escape the Ministry has seen fit to place Dementors around the school in an attempt to ward off and locate Sirius Black. Because of the creature's influence I urge everyone to be extra cautious this year anytime you travel outside of the castle. Dementors do not care for reasons or excuses. However I can assure you all that they will not be able to enter Hogwarts itself, thus we have asked, and received, a small group of Aurors to patrol the halls and ensure your safety." With that Dumbledore gave a sweeping gesture, along with starting a round of applause, towards the group of six adults standing nearby.
Most were unknown, however one female stood out as her eyes swept the room until the landed on her secret lover.
Giving Harry a slight smile Tonks redirected her attention to where her commanding officer was busy assuring the students that everything would be perfectly safe and that classes would continue as they always had. The only changes planned were that one officer would be staying in a guest room in each of the four houses, while two others patrolled every night.
Risking another glance at her newest obsession the metamorphmagus fought the urge to squirm as she caught sight of Harry's intense gaze focused in on her, slowly tracing every part of her body as his hands had done less than a month prior, as his mouth had done… blinking away the memories the woman made a mental note to take a very cold shower following the dinner, and then see if she could be one of those assigned to the Slytherin commons.
...
"So my Lord, what are you planning on taking for Electives this year?" Draco Malfoy asked excitedly as he browsed through the pamphlet of choices. They had until the end of the week to make their decisions and register for classes, which would begin the following Monday.
"I already gave my word that I would be taking Astronomy. Arithmancy and Ancient Runes might also be mildly interesting as well."
The blonde nodded, before making a note on looking into those courses as well. "Long as I am not stuck in Care of Magical Creatures with that buffoon Hagrid I will be fine."
"Hm, although it would certainly be interesting to see all of the dangerous creatures. I wonder if any of them are truly lethal…"
Draco froze, and paled, at the thought before clearing his thoughts and making another note to definitely avoid that class.
