"I have this feeling like your dad is going to be just as broody as Malfoy –" Violet trips over a wire as they walk into Nott Manor but doesn't fall because she hoists herself up on Thomas' shoulder. "–uhm, as Malfoy and he's not going to like me."

Ever since Violet can remember, she's always been scared of new people not liking her. Wondering if she is good enough for the world or if she's just an unlikable person. Now she needs a place to stay and she's freaked out over this anonymous father of her friends not liking her. She's imagining this old man who reeks of bad breath and can't dress. Why else would his wife have left him for another man? He has to be ugly.

"My dad is nice." Cressida laughs as she pulls Violet away from Thomas and holds her arm. "If we love you, he'll love you. Just promise not to say anything about me being gay. My parents don't know."

"Cressida, of course, I would never." Violet responds and squeezes Cressida's hand. "Your secrets safe with me, I promise."

Cressida thanks her and they both stop in front of the large doors as Thomas steps forward and mutters something under his breath. Violets home has guards and the Notts home has a password. Classy. The doors creak open and the grand foyer is dark, no light in sight but the moon that's above their heads as they stand outside. It's kind of like Violet imagined it, scary and dark.

No words are said as they walk in, Thomas carrying Violet's trunks and Cressida carrying a small on too. The silence around them is terrifying, the only thing heard is their echoed steps and the doors slamming behind them.

A phone rings in the distance and all three of them yelp and jump at the random sound. The ringing stops and is followed by a deep, accented voice in one of the corridors.

"I don't know when she'll be here Draco." The voice speaks and pauses for a second. "Yes, I'll let you know when she comes. My children went to get her, they insisted." Another pause. "Of course, goodbye."

"Really persistent that man –" Cressida growls lowly as they follow the sound of her fathers voice which is not how Violet imagined him to sound. He sounds young. "–Draco hardly calls this much for someone."

Violet wonders what Draco told Mr. Nott when he asked for the favor. She wonders if he knows about the kiss or about their interactions at school. Cressida said they're best friends so she wonders if as best friends Draco shared Violet's information to Mr. Nott.

As the three reach the end of a corridor, there's an open door and a dim light coming from inside the room. Cressida walks in first and an enormous smile grows on her face as she sees her father.

"Hi daddy!" She squeals and throws her arms around the brunette man as she sits on her lap. He wraps his left arm around her torso and lifts his cheek towards her as she places a kiss on it. "Violet is here. Come in Vi!"

Violet and Thomas both walk in together and she gulps as she sees the man sitting with Cressida on his lap. He's not old, he doesn't look like he reeks of bad breath, and he can actually dress. Why are her friends fathers attractive and why are they attracting her?

The man looks up from his notepad and his eyebrows raise when he see's Violet. "Miss. Blishen it's very nice to meet you –" He moves Cressida off and when he stands up, he's tall and thin with expensive clothes and so many rings. He walks over to Violet while patting his jacket straight and he extends his hand out to her. "I'm Theodore Nott but feel free to call me Theo if you'd like. We're happy to have you in our home."

Violet shakes his hand firmly, letting their rings scrape against each other's and she pulls away after many awkward seconds. "Thank you, Theo."

"My pleasure entirely." He whispers as he walks back over to his chair and sits down with legs extending out. "Thomas, nice to see you too."

"Father." Thomas replies lowly and bows his head.

It is clear that Thomas and his father don't share a tight bond, or any for that matter. Violet saw it clear that Cressida is a daddy's girl and Thomas must be a mommy's boy. Per usual, it's another similarity between Cressida and her.

"Cressida, Thomas." Theo speaks once again and his eyes don't leave Violet. "Do me a favor and go give the maids Violet's belongings. Then give Violet and I second to speak to go over rules and have her call Draco Malfoy, he's worried for his...student."

He knows.

"Of course." Cressida smiles and gives her father one last kiss on the cheek before walking out while pushing Thomas to walk faster.

As soon as the door closes behind them, Violet takes a seat across from Theo and they both stare at each other in silence. Her heart is beating faster than ever; she wishes the door was open or a window because it's getting hot in the room.

"Violet." Theo speaks softly and he lights a cigarette between his lips before pulling it out and offering it to her. She takes it and puts it between her lips, sucking in, hoping it'll relieve the tension and make her feel better. "Violet –" he repeats again and watches the smoke leave her parted lips. "– I'm sure you know that Draco is worried about you. He told me everything, but not to worry darling. I can keep a secret."

He picks a telephone up instead of his cell phone and turns the circle to dial numbers. Without moving his eyes from hers he hands her the telephone and she puts it against her ear and close to her mouth where the cigarette is. She has no intention of staying longer than ten seconds on the phone with Draco, just as she has no intention of staying in this room any longer either.

"Talk darling." Theo speaks and removes the cigarette from her lips before putting it back in between his plumped ones. "Whatever is said in this room, stays in this room."

Violet listens to the ringing of the phone for another second and the crumble of it being picked up. It causes her heart to skip a beat when she hears his breathing and his voice. "Hello?"

"It's me." She whispers as she's looking at Theo who's not looking at her anymore but at his phone and is still smoking. "I'm in Nott Manor and I didn't need you to call in the favor. I'm fine on my own, you need to leave me alone."

"Viol–"

She hangs up the phone and slides the heavy machine back towards Theo who is still staring at his cell phone. Theo finally puts his phone down and pushes the telephone aside, moving his eyes to Violet. She lifts her eyes and then looks away, feeling too scared.

"Such a short conversation." He sighs and shakes his head at her. "You'd believe that after what he's told me, you're into him just as much as he is you."

What exactly did he say to Theo? Violet never gave anything to make Draco believe such things. If anything, he gave her more.

Violet says nothing but instead sits in silence with one leg crossed over the other and her eyes staring down at his hands. His hands which are full of silver rings and are sliding on the wooden table. He looks follows her eyes and then chuckles when he sees them planted on his hands.

"Would you like one?" He breaks the silence and takes off one of his rings, handing it to her. "This one is my Quidditch ring from Hogwarts, take it. I insist."

Violet hesitates but reaches over and takes the silver ring with an emerald stone on it from his hand. She slides it onto her middle finger and closes her hand into a fist before placing it back onto her lap. The ring, the quidditch jersey. She's practically going through the 90's Quidditch team.

"Thank you." She whispers and then drags her chair back before standing up. "Are there many rules or can I go?"

Theo chuckles again and shakes his head. "There are no rules. It was a joke, you're free to go. Leave the door closed on your way out, thank you."

He gestures his hand towards the door and she walks out, closing the door behind her and hearing the lock click. There's no way she'll survive living under the same roof as that man; she'll be tired every night from doing what she has to do to hold herself from getting involved with her best friends father.

When she reaches the end of the corridor, she sees all the lights in the home have been turned on and Cressida is taking pictures by the stairs. Violet laughs quietly at the sight of it and walks towards her, careful not to get in any photos.

"You're back!" Cressida beams and smiles at Violet before putting her phone away. "So, what'd you think? He's nice right!?"

Violet nods for a second and then replies. "Yes, he's nice."

"Such a short response, but okay." Cressida pouts and furrows her eyebrows. "Anyways, Thomas and I would love to stay and show you around but there's an emergency at Hogwarts."

Cressida flips her screen for Violet to see and Violet squints to see the messages on her Cressida's phone. Turns out, there is an emergency. Scorpius got into a fight with a Hufflepuff and is locked in the dungeons as a punishment.

"I am his designated lawyer and I'm going to go argue him out of that stank dungeon." She huffs and puts her phone in her small bag. "I guess I'll see you on Monday morning."

"Yeah." Violet sighs and gives her a shy smile. "Maybe even Sunday night but don't worry, I'll be fine."

Cressida rubs Violets arm with a smile and walks out of the foyer with Thomas behind her. This is even worse than Violet thought, she's alone with Theo now. She would totally go with Cressida and Thomas but it's only been a couple of hours and the rumors probably haven't died down.

The door shuts with a loud bang behind the twins and Violet sighs loudly as she spins to look around the brightly lit room. It's not bad but it is awfully quiet for such a clean house. There should be maids and butlers walking around and chatting, yet she hasn't seen one. Worst of all, Cressida didn't even tell her where her room is.

"Hello?" Violet bellows and it echoes into the air.

Out of nowhere, a young maid in provocative clothing walks in with her heels clicking against the shiny floor. She smiles widely at Violet and Violet's eyebrows raise in shock that the maid looks like this.

"How can I be of service?" The maid asks cheerfully and smiles yet again at Violet. The maid is really happy that even her smile throws Violet off.

"I was wondering where my room is?" Violet asks quietly with a hint of shyness in her voice. "I'm Violet and I believe you took my trunks up a couple of minutes ago?"

The maid nods with a small gasp as she remembers and she leads Violet up the stairs that are in the middle of the room. Violet holds onto the banister as she follows the maid and her eyes widen when she notices the maid is practically flashing her with her thong.

Clearly, Theo must have something going on with her if this is her uniform. It must be why Thomas doesn't like his father that much and it must be why his mom left Theo too. It's all starting to add up in Violets mind as she watches the maid prance around in her little outfit with a smile. She's smiling because this job gives her a good lay.

Violet comes to a quick stop behind the maid and the woman opens a room door and gestures Violet to walk in. "This is your bedroom." She smiles and pats her skirt flat. "My name is Elaine, if you need anything just shout my name out and I'll be her as quick as I can."

"Thank you, Elaine." Violet thanks her and walks into the room but turns around to ask something before shutting the door. "What time is breakfast tomorrow?"

"Mr. Nott likes to have breakfast early –" Elaine starts using her duster to clean dust off Violets door as she's talking. "– so, breakfast is always ready from six in the morning to seven. Lunch is then served from twelve to twelve-thirty since he has a small break from work. After, dinner is our longest yet and is from six to eight at night and then dessert."

"Wow." Violet laughs awkwardly as she watches Elaine dust the entire door. "You're all very scheduled. Thank you, I will see you at six tomorrow."

"Goodnight Miss. Blishen."

Elaine walks away with a smile on her face and Violet shuts the door quietly before turning around to see the large bedroom assigned for her. This room is twice the size of her bedroom in Blishen Manor. Theo's job must be amazing for their home to be this enormous. Or, his parents were wealthy pure-bloods who paid millions for this house to be built.

Violet starts walking around the bedroom and she admires the murals painted on the wall. Paintings of the founding wizards and witches of Hogwarts. The windows are stained glass formed into red roses with a dagger instead of a stem.

The Nott generation must have been into some scary things because this home looks like a haunted but beautiful castle. Violet's sure the Masquerade ball is going to look amazing in this place, especially with all the people and lights and decorations. It's going to be beautiful.

**********

After a long and needed shower, Violet walks out of her bedroom in a pair of shorts and Draco's Quidditch jersey on. She needs a glass of water to replace the tears she cried this night and yesterday in school.

Violet makes her way down the stairs and lights her wand to guide her through the dark house. She stops at the end of the stairs when she hears a woman's faint giggling and she decides to follow the sound. If she's right, the sound is coming from Theo's office and she's headed right towards it.

Ever since Violet came to Hogwarts, she's been a lot nosier then before. She needs to know everything and now she wants to see what's going on. A quiet house and suddenly there's giggling? Even a dog would like to know what's going on.

It's two in the morning and honestly sleep is the last thing Violet is going to be able to do. She's panicking about how she's going to survive and on top of that she's alone in a home with her best friends hot dad and their hot maid.

Violet stops when she sees a light coming from inside Theo's office through the small crack of the open door and she turns her wand light off. She steps closer and peaks in, seeing Elaine dancing in lingerie and Theo sitting on a leather couch with a drink in his hand and a bright smile on his face. He watches as Elaine giggles and dances in front and on top of him.

As usual, Violet was right. Elaine is with Theo.

She continues watching as Theo adjusts the bulge in his pants and licks his lips from the drops of alcohol on them. Violet can't help but imagine herself in that position, dancing for him and him smiling that way at her. Violet hears footsteps approaching from the end of the corridor and she freezes with panic and just sinks into the darkness in the other side of the corridor. She covers her mouth to avoid having her breathing be heard but she finds it harder to hold back a gasp when she sees Draco walking into Theo's office and greeting Elaine and Theo.

What is he doing here? Why did he just walk in like that?

"Elaine give Draco a glass of Brandy and take off the bra." Theo laughs and snaps his fingers. "My friend here loves your breasts remember?"

"How could I forget?" Elaine giggles and her heels click on the wooden floor as she starts to pour expensive Brandy into a short glass for Draco.

Violet walks back to the door and peaks in once again, feeling more intrigued now that Draco is here. She watches as Elaine walks to him and sits on his lap, making her bare breasts rub against him while she leans her head back and kisses Theo. Violet gasps when the door is slammed open by Theos wand and both men look up at her. Theo with a cheeky smile on his face and Draco with raised eyebrows and the glass against his lips as he takes a sip.

Nothing has been more embarrassing than this. How could she get caught watching them? She should've left for her water instead of being nosy.

"Do come in darling." Theo greets and pats the empty space between him and Draco. "Don't stand there just watching from a crack when you can have front row seats."

Elaine stands up and leads Violet towards the men but Violet is frozen with shock that Elaine is practically dragging her towards them. Violet grunts as she's pushed between them and the smell of their alcohol filled breaths make her shiver.

"Get the girl a glass as well Elaine." Theo commands and gets comfortable on the couch. "Then leave and shut the door behind you."

"O-oh." Elaine sighs and finally loses her smile. "Of course, sir."

Elaine pours Violet a glass of Brandy and walks over to her, setting it on her hand and walking out of the room. Shutting the door like Theo instructed her too.

"Love the jersey." Theo points out with a sarcastic chuckle and then he lifts Violets glass up to her lips, making her drink. "Why don't you take it off and give us a little show?"

Draco who is sitting on the other side of Violet, clenches his jaw and lets out a deep breath. He's getting jealous of his own best friend and his forwardness which is getting him farther with Violet than Draco has gotten. However, he himself would love a show from Violet a lot better than Elaine's.

Violet quietly sighs and takes the jersey off, revealing her black lace bra that Cressida brought her.

"Mmm." Theo hums and bites his bottom lip at the sigh of Violets breasts being tightened by the lace bra. "Keep going."

Violet obeys and she pulls her black shorts down, revealing yet again the matching black lace thong and straps around her thighs. She just wanted to feel sexy tonight, she didn't know she would be modeling her lingerie to her friends fathers.

Draco stays facing forward but his eyes are looking to his side, examining Violets body and the lace that hugs her skin the way he wants to. He feels his breathing get heavier and he closes his eyes, trying not to act out.

On the other hand, Theo is looking at Violet without hiding it. His hand is pushing her long hair away from the front of her chest and tossing it behind her shoulder. He can tell why Draco has been going crazy over her, she's perfect and innocent with a hint of rebelliousness.

While she can feel the stares, Violet has butterflies in her stomach but instead of flying, she can feel them scratching to get out. She's nervous and she has the same throbbing feeling between her thighs she had when she first met Draco. Yet she won't allow herself to make the first move towards any of them, all she's going to is obey and wait.

"Draco." Theo speaks with a hint of desperateness in his voice. "Give the girl a drink, she loves being taken care of."

With a shaky hand, Draco lifts up Violets glass and Violet turns to face him while parting her lips for him to put the glass between them. Instead, he tosses the glass aside and rushes into a kiss, leaving her without a last breath. She feels Theo attack her neck with kisses and a couple of sucks and she moans into Draco's mouth, causing him move faster.

Theo moves her bra strap down and trails kisses from the back of her neck down to her shoulder and then around to her breasts. With a swift motion of jealousy, Theo grips Violets chin and brings her lips towards his. He starts kissing her with tongue and Draco takes her bra off and starts sucking on her nipples, causing Violets thighs to squeeze together at the feeling.

Both of the men take their hands and spread her thighs open, forcing her to not squeeze them together and do something about what she's feeling. Violet arches her back and uses her own hands to pull her thong down and toss it aside.

She moans when she feels both of their hands start sliding up her thighs and rubbing her clit together. They do everything together in sync, almost like they've done this before.

They've definitely done this before!

"Stop, stop!" Violet shouts and pushes them off of her before either of them can put their fingers inside her or near her vagina. She stands in front of them, breathing heavily with her chest racing up and down.

She watches them for a couple seconds and watches as they both try to hide their boners with their hands and comb their hair back. She puts her clothes back on, making Theo groan with anger that he couldn't get anywhere with her and making Draco sigh into his hands with disappointment in himself. He couldn't believe he let himself get that far.

Violet rushes out of the room, not able to say anything else and she runs up the large stairs while holding on to the banister before her legs give up like jelly. She makes it to her room and slams the door, leaning her back against it and catching her breath. She can't believe that just happened, and not just with Draco but with Theo, who Cressida trusted her with. She needs to learn to control herself one way or the other or things are going be a lot worse than what just happened.
