Summary: Draco is one of the original Fallen Angels. He’s been cast down to Earth and Hell for so long that he no longer remembers his original name.

Disclaimers: I don’t own Harry Potter and his friends. They belong to a list of people, including the wonderful JKR, Warner Bros, Scholastic Publishing, Raincoat Books, and others. I’m only borrowing them for entertainment purposes – no money is made.

Author’s Notes: Um, this idea popped up in my head when I was trying to finish Wooing the Reluctant. I tried very hard to avoid writing it until Wooing was done, but it wouldn’t go away, so here we are. This is going to be an experiment of sorts. Despite the summary, there really won’t be any Weasley or Ginny-bashing. This will contain elements that touch on religion, so if you don’t want to deal with it, don’t read this story!!!! Otherwise, enjoy!

Prologue—Sigillum Diaboli (In Communication with the Devil)

Once, I flew amongst the pure and innocent. It was everything that humans think it is and so much more. There are no words in any language to adequately describe what it was like to be surrounded by light and air and beauty all the time. It was powerful and wonderful. It was beyond magical. Your pathetic brain could never handle the blinding brilliance. It would ooze out of your ears and eye sockets if you tried.

However, my failure to ally with one of the two opposing sides of the Great War found me cast down with the losers, along with the fence-riders. The “good” side couldn’t have anyone around them that wouldn’t commit other to being completely righteous or benevolent or whatever crap they’re spouting this week. No, they all had to be the same boring goody-two-shoes up there. Since I’ve never really been into all of that, out I went.

Now, I walk upon the Earth, watching you humans as you breed, consume, destroy, and pollute. When I am not amongst you lesser beings, I am with the others of my kind and their spawn, far from the beauty of the pure and self-righteous. What is my kind, you ask? Well, first of all, that’s an impertinent question, and I usually kill those that annoy me, but I find myself feeling rather generous right now.

I am what you would call a Fallen Angel. No, I’m not some hideously deformed creature. Really, you humans are utterly ridiculous. What you think of as demons are pathetic and laughable. I’ve never met an ugly demon… Well, Sev isn’t ugly, but he’s certainly not my idea of a good time. No, but I’m sure there are those out there that would find his stalking, swooping presence welcome.

That isn’t to say that I have been without companionship from you little humans or those of my kind since the Fall. Why, that would be stupid. When someone as beautiful as I am is in a human’s presence, they nearly piss themselves trying to impress me so that I will bed them. And, on occasion, I have.

And one in particular has caught my eye. I have been watching him for quite some time and find that the humans around him do not deserve to lick his shoes, let alone touch him. So, I plan on taking what I want.

Those goody-goodies upstairs can suck my cock if they have a problem with it. I don’t plan on giving up any time soon.

Harry James Potter, your days with your little redheaded wench are numbered. I do so hope you don’t mind it. And if you do, well, I will change your mind.

Aff.net Review Replies for Best Served Cold

Kain:  Not bad, not bad at all. And while Susan was a bit of her rocker, several members of her family were killed and her psychotic anger while misguided was understandable. And i am not gonna lie, i found myself at some points actually rooting for bones since i have NEVER been fond of the elder Malfoy's or other death eater sympathizers. Draco is the only malfoy i can stand and he was certainly....ahem in character here lol. I also noticed that the Auror's were not getting much love here when while they shouldn't let personal feelings interfere with work their attitude towards the Malfoy's was once again understandable since the whole family kind of comes off as smug, dickish karma houdini's. And while Bones should be judged and punished, it's a bit hypocritical of our "protagonist's" to condemn her to harshly  since quite a few of the POV characters here are not exactly paragons of virtue with squeaky clean pasts. Now this is in no way an attempt to flame you as i actually enjoyed this story. This is simply my viewpoint and it is not my intention to offend you in any way.  I agree that Susan, while obviously disturbed, was perfectly sympathetic. Draco was very much himself in this story. Thank you for the compliment, as it's not such an easy thing to do since I'm going off the farm with him. =P As it were. No, the Aurors weren't getting much love, but can you seriously blame Draco (and Harry too) for the way he feels? Yes, Draco comes from a family of Death Eaters. Yes, he was Marked as a teenager. However, really, he was coerced to do a lot of things that he wouldn't normally do. Coward? Yes. Bully? Yes. Vicious little snot? Hell yes. Killer? No. And he only tortured and attempted to kill Dumbledore because of Voldemort. I agree that the Malfoys do come off as smug and dickish, but that's just they way they are. Sorry. Harry's never claimed to be a perfect little paragon of anything. Draco has never seen the point either. I'm not taking your review as a flame. It's a rational, well-thought out review and I wish that more were like this!
delia cerrano: I had a great time reading this. Thanks!  I had an even better time writing it. It was definitely something new for me. Thank you for reviewing!
Tsuki:  I think ur betas will be crazy for a sequel. And I truly hope u make it. I've already read the 3 stories. And And like everyone in this story, I'm in luv with Rosie, but we need litlle Scorpius and Albus too, don't u think. And poor Lucius needs a grandchild to spoil. Waiting for it.  My beta hasn't actually weighed in on a sequel. She was astonished that I even wanted to write *this* one, because of the stress factor for Set Me Free. I'm considering working on another part to this series, but as there's no real idea forming in my head yet, it might be some time before it comes out. In the mean time (so you don't wait forever), you might want to check out some of my other stories. Thank you for reviewing and I'm glad that you enjoyed the entire series.
unneeded:  oh x 3. I DO hope there's more of these.  they're so much fun.  who would have picked little suesie for a psycho.  though, the sibling sharing a similar form idea was very interesting. hehe, weasley grublet reigns triumphant.  lol, who would have though a weasley toddler would bring dear icy luc down.  that's hilarious. damn, but you write a good fic. i also can't wait for the next one to see how draco and har get round the off spring heir continuance thing.  There has been talk between Jokes and myself about another addition to this series of stories. And, yes, they are fun. Well, Susan got picked because she was rather unlikely as a villain. It was either her or Hannah. Who would have thought of a Hufflepuff as a killer, right? Yes, Rose wins over everyone, even Lucius. Trust me, Lucius isn't happy about that, but it did bring up a very important issue about line continuance. You'll just have to wait, as I haven't come up with anything solid for the next part. I'm working on finishing up the WIPs. (Btw, Jokes has the ending of Wooing in her possession!)
thepurplepanda: This had been added to my all time favorites list. I just love the way this was written.  I would be delighted if this has a  sequel... Since this i the sequel to a sequel, it may be some time before I revisit this world, but I do want to work in it again. Thank you for reviewing and enjoying.
