This is a dark Hermione fic so if you don't like the idea of her being a bad girl don't read. I should mention: They're in their 7th year AT Hogwarts but they only have 1-2 horcruxes left! And this story isn't just Hermione/Draco it's focusing on many other points .Enjoy ;) And when it's like this: READ This! Those are Hermione's thoughts! – February 29th, 2012
Hi. So as previously stated, this is a dark!Hermione fic. I wrote this four years ago as a young girl in love with dramione. I still love dramione and enjoy reading the thousands of fanfics out there. However, I have not written a story in a while. I am contemplating writing a redemption story. The thing is, this is not my best work. Writing is a work in progress and everyone continues to learn and improve. Looking back at this story makes me cringe. It is filled with grammatical errors and parts that just aren't good. However, people continue to show love to me and this story. Thank you. I'm grateful for you taking the time to read it. I'm even more grateful that many have found enjoyment. Thank you so, so much. This was the first big work I uploaded and for that reason I'm keeping it. Also, I have almost 130 favorites and I won't take that away from you guys.
Let me just say, this is not a representation of my current writing style. I have improved. I am learning and my grammar is at least decent. I know that there are dissatisfying parts in this story and some of you have let me know in reviews. The descriptions get cheesy. Look, I was young and didn't care as much about grammar. I didn't proof read every chapter and many mistakes slipped through. People have left reviews of what needs to be fixed, some nicer than others. I am not going to go through this entire story to fix the mistakes. That task would be tiresome and I'm not up for that. Frankly, I don't want to. (I did take the liberty of fixing the errors in this chapter that my computer pointed out.) I will let this story stand as it was published several years ago. I just thought I would add this note for those of you complaining, frustrated, and/or disappointed in this story. I'm sorry. But some people enjoyed it and this is for them. If you're a Downton Abbey fan, check me out. As I said, I might return to writing dramione. It seems a daunting task despite my younger self diving head first in. In short, read at your own risk. It's not that dark compared to what is out there. And Hermione's thoughts are not all bolded. It is also very OOC and non-canon after Order of the Phoenix. Thanks, if you read this. – July 28th, 2016
Hermione sighed as she peered out the window. She was waiting for her mother to come. Her muggle "mother" and "father" were frozen and when her mom arrived she would obliviate the muggles. Hermione Jean Granger was in fact Hermione Delia Nott. Her twin brother was Theodore, or Theo, and her mother was Delia and her father was Richard. This year she would be free of her disguise that made her look hideous in her opinion; she'd also be resorted into Slytherin and could spend time with her fiancée, Draco Malfoy. Yes, she was engaged to him. On her hand was a ring with a huge diamond and on each side a medium sized emerald. Yes, Draco knew her perfectly. Of course she was different from the Gryffindor girl she pretended to be. Hermione just couldn't wait to become a Slytherin. Being head girl was still important to her though because she gained more authority and she'd have a whole common room just for her and Draco.
"Hermione I am here!" called a woman with curly dark brown, almost black, hair and bright green eyes. Hermione instantly hugged the woman.
"Mother may we get this over with? I'd love to go home now."
"Of course honey. Obliviate," and with that they left the muggle home once and for all. Once Hermione got to Nott Manor she turned and faced her mother.
"Please, please remove this horrid disguise! I must say it's killing me!" Hermione's mom chuckled before whispering a spell and pulling her daughter to a mirror. Hermione gasped. She now had hair the same shade as her mom's and her brown eyes now had green flecks in them. Slytherin green. She had grown about an inch and her skin paled to a porcelain color, maybe just a tad tanner. Her hair was in big fat ringlets flowing around her. Suddenly she saw a boy enter. He had hair as dark as hers but straight. He also had pale skin and his eyes looked identical to hers. He was probably 6 inches taller than her 5'7 stance making him 6'1. God then how tall was Draco? She smiled warmly
"Theo is that really you?" she asked. He grinned and swooped her around.
"Hermione how I've missed you! It's gonna be so great to see you in Slytherin and cheer for us during quidditch and…" he silenced at his mother's glare.
"You two talk for a while but remember we're heading to Malfoy Manor soon for a special welcoming party for Hermione. So be prepared!" and with that she walked off to find her husband.
"Don't we look hot now?" was the first thing Theo asked.
"Hello? I've just been told I am going to look like this forever and that I'm going to live here and be this amazing head girl ruler over little first years and all you can say is we look HOT?" she shouted. He rubbed his neck
"I was going to say that. Besides I thought you'd be more concerned about your dearest Draco. Apparently Potter's going to try anything to get information. It might just be following him; you know? But whatever the Dark Lord seems to think Drake can handle it, so he probably can. I'm not gonna judge but personally I hope Potter gets what is coming to him." Hermione processed the many words shooting out of Theo's mouth.
"Draco is in trouble? Potter following him? What do you mean? He's always been interested in Drake but not to the point of following him around. Dear brother, are you sure?" he looked into his sister's worried eyes.
"Well it's just what I've heard but it sounds correct. I'll say this though: since last year when Draco officially became a death eater Potter has been hot on his tail figuring he can spy and get info." Hermione gasped
"He does think that? Potter hasn't written me much this summer. I haven't got much to show the Dark Lord but he never mentioned investigating Draco Malfoy. Though I tried last year to convince him several times that Drake wasn't. Stupid Potter wouldn't take no for an answer.
"Well when has the Potter boy ever really cooperated?" asked a different voice. Hermione whipped around to face a tall 6'4 man with straight, lighter brown hair and brown eyes.
"Daddy!" said Hermione as she sprinted into the man's wide open arms.
"What was your conversation about?" asked Delia Nott. Theo sighed
"About how Potter has decided to watch Malfoy's every move. Hermione here is worried about her beloved. You know since they killed all those horse-cruxes.."
"Horcruxes." Interrupted Hermione.
"Whatever. Anyways since Potter, weasel, and dear sissy destroyed all but what two of them? Potter has been making immense orgress. I'm afraid he still thinks Draco has inside information."
"I've tried to convince him otherwise but Harry Potter is insufferable! I will be glad to be rid of this pain." Replied Hermione. "And there are two horcruxes left but believe me I'll try and lead them away. Potter thinks the last one is in the castle. That's why they're coming back. That and the fact Molly Weasley is impossible to sway. Ha, the torture they must be in."
"How'd you manage to stay at your mudblood house? Er I mean…" Theo looked at the ground blushing.
"It's fine. I'm not a mudblood so why should I care, right? Anyways I convinced them my parents had an elaborate vacation planned and actually wanted to send me off on my last year. But that doesn't matter. All I can think about is how glad I am to be with you guys." said Hermione.
"Come along then we mustn't be late. Oh Merlin Hermione what are you wearing?" Hermione looked down she was wearing a purple shirt with a threaded flower on it and jean crop pants. Uh-oh.
"Delia I'm sure Cissa won't mind." Stated her father with a roll of his eyes.
"Well I will! Come here this instant Hermione Nott!' cried her mother. A few moments later she emerged wearing a green summer dress. It was strapless and flowed just below her knees. It was simple without a design but her shoes were silver with a buckle around her ankle with the silver part running down the top of her foot with several branches of silver material going down the side of her foot and ending with a loop around her big toe. Her mother had pulled her daughter's hair into a ponytail and she wore a necklace with the family crest on it.
"Show off your ring Hermione. You want them to know you're excited!" Hermione blushed and scowled at the comment.
"For Merlin's sake woman may we leave?" asked her father. Delia frowned but nodded. Suddenly Hermione found herself clutching Theo's arm as she steadied herself.
