Love Can't Save You?

Chapter One, Initiation.

The hooded figure slowy ascended the stairs step by step towards the meeting room. The face of the man beside him was expressionless as they continued their walk. Arriving at a large door, his partner lifted the silver snake-head knocker.

bang.
bang.
bang.

Suddenly, as if like magic, the door opened and the two stepped inside. Once the door was closed, the taller of the two hurriedly removed his cloack and knelt down.
"Master," he whispered, "I bring you my son so that he may follow in my footsteps and serve you.

His master's eyes opened, though they were more of slits than eyes, and he walked towards him. "and does your son," he smirked, "swear to give me his life for all eternity?"

Finally, the son spoke, "yes, my Lord, it is an honor to be in your presence."

There was a loud crack and several cloaked men stood around them in a semi-circle.

The Dark Lord hissed,

"Let the initiation begin."

"Hermione, I don't see why you worry so much about the next term of school, when we've only been out of last term for a week!" shouted her friend, Harry.

Another friend, known as Ron, came up and tapped her on the shoulder, "you know, he's right 'Mione. It's vacation! Why can't you just enjoy it?"

"Because, might I remind you, this year we be taking our NEWT's and I do NOT plan on failing!" she said matter-of-factly.

Her best friend Ginny walked up on hearing this, giggling all the while, "Hermione, you've never failed a thing in your entire life, why are you worrying?"

"I don't know, I guess it's just so stressful, this is our last year at Hogwarts, and I plan to do everything perfectly," she stated.

Harry, getting quite angered at this conversation snapped, "WHEN ARE YOU NOT PERFECT, GEEZ!"

All four friends burst out in laughter at this comment, but, Hermione's was just not so full.
'Oh, I do hope this year will be okay,' she thought. 'I hope McGonagal made me Head Girl'

"Kneel!", yelled the snake-like man as he pointed his wand down at the boy.

"Do you, Draco Malfoy, pledge your allegiance to I, Lord Voldemort for the rest of your days?"

'Why am I doing this?,' the platinum blonde haired boy thought. A hiss was heard in his mind, 'Because if you don't, I will kill you.'

His voice shaking, he answered, "Yes, my Lord, I do."

And with that, a mark appeared on the boy's arm of a snake slithering through a skull's mouth.

He screamed from the pain, and everything went dark.
