Chapter One
"Severus Snape"
Snape heard his name called and he slowly walked forward. He could feel the eyes of every deatheater upon him as he knelt before the dark lord. He knew very well that these moments could be his last. But he had chosen to come tonight and was prepared for anything.
"I see you have returned to our little circle" Voldemort said, "But I can't help but wonder why you did not return when you were called several months ago"
Snape bowed his head down, "Forgive me master" he said, "I was unable to apparate on Hogwarts grounds. And to leave moments after Potter disappeared would have aroused suspicions around me"
The deatheaters stared coldly at him. Each one deciding for their own whether to believe his story.
"I will overlook your foolishness for now" Voldemort said calmly, "But you will prove that you are still loyal to our ways and more importantly, to me"
"Yes, master" Snape said. He rose to his feet waiting to be dismissed.
"You are dismissed" Voldemort said, "You've been gone from your job for too long, return to Dumbledore's school. Lucius will contact you when I have decided how you will prove yourself to me"
Snape nodded. Glancing at the deatheaters surrounding him, he apparated away.
Once Snape had disappeared from the area, one of the deatheaters stepped forward. It was none other than Lucius Malfoy. He knelt before the dark lord and spoke cautiously, "Master, for several years Snape has been supporting Dumbledore, I do not believe him to truly be a follower of our ways"
Voldemort's thin lips curled into an evil grin, "Lucius, I have many plans for Severus. That is why I choose to let him live" he said, "We will see how important his services are to Dumbledore soon"
"I don't understand" Lucius said.
Voldemort laughed slowly, "You will, and you Lucius, will be the one to find out how essential he is to Dumbledore"

It was Harry's, Ron's, and Hermione's sixth year at Hogwarts. It hadn't been a shock when both Harry and Hermione had been named prefects. Oddly enough Ron had become Quidditch captain over Harry. They were a month into school now and things seemed to be taking right where they left off.
"I hate this class" Ron said. They had just entered the potions room. Hermione gave him that look she always gave him. Ron held up his hand to stop her from saying it, "I know! I know! It's important! You could really need this someday!" he said, "I think you should teach your wand to say that to me so you can save yourself the breath"
Hermione shook her head and laughed, "You are impossible! Do you realize that Ron Weasley?"
"Mutual! Nice doing business with you!" Ron replied grinning. His grin faded as he realized that Snape was in the front of the room and glaring at him and Hermione.
"If the two of you are done, perhaps you will remember that you are attending class, not a social event" Snape said. There was no mistaking the familiar sarcasm in his voice. He began his lesson ignoring Hermione who had tried to hastily explain. Once he was finished he started pairing them off for their Dissolutio potions. At the end of class he made them wait quietly as he announced that this weekend would be a Hogsmeade trip weekend. Hermione couldn't help but notice that he looked extremely unhappy about this.

Hermione was writing furiously at her Arithmacy homework. Harry was attempting to do his Divination homework. Ron was reading Quidditch scores.
"Ron! Really, how do you expect to get enough OWLS if you don't start doing your homework?" Hermione said as Ron flipped through another page.
"I'll do it tomorrow" Ron said not really listening to a word she said. He leaned over and showed Harry a picture of something who instantly forgot his homework and joined Ron.
"Ron! You are the most frustrating person that I know" Hermione said.
Ron grinned up at her, 'That's why you love me so much!" he said, "I'm so lovingly annoying!"
Hermione stared at him with a funny smile on her face, "Don't flatter yourself Ron!" Hermione said, "Your ego may just make the school explode!"
"Afraid not!" Ron said, "Unless you feel like triggering it, by having dinner with me this weekend at Hogwarts?"
Hermione stared at him in surprise. She could hardly believe Ron had just said what he had just said. "Are you serious?" she asked trying not to hug him with excitement.
Ron pretended to have second thoughts for a moment then cracked, "of course I mean it Hermione!"
Hermione gave up and hugged him, "Yes! Of course I will!" she said happily. Ron grinned wildly at her!
"See I learned! I didn't wait until someone else asked!" he said.
==============================================================================
"Ron! I have to help Lavendar and Parvati with something in Hogsmeade, but I'll meet you at 6?" Hermione said as they arrived in Hogsmeade.
Ron smiled, "That's fine! Harry and I have to get some supplies at Zonko's anyway!"
The two smiled shyly at each other before taking off their own separate ways. Hermione noticed Lucius Malfoy and Snape talking nearby. Draco seemed to know something about it because he, Goyle, and Crabbe kept looking over at them. Hermione ignored them and went off with Parvati and Lavendar.
"Who's the red haired girl that was just talking to Arthur Weasley's son, what's her name?" Lucius asked with interest.
"Hermione Granger, she's one of the top students at Hogwarts" Snape said trying to figure out where this conversation was leading.
Lucius grinned wickedly, "She's perfect. Yes, she'll do nicely"
Snape shook his head in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Lucius laughed, 'Still naive Severus!" he said, "Tell me, when was the last time you slept with a woman?"
Snape's eyes widened alarm, "I-what?" he cried. As Lucius laughed again, Snape realized what Lucius meant. He felt his stomach twist in pain at what he what he would have to do soon. "You surely don't mean you want me to--rape her"
Lucius smiled, "Gone soft, have we?" he asked, "It doesn't matter whether you have or haven't. You don't really get a choice in the matter" he held up his want towards him.
Snape stared at the wand before him in disgust. No matter what he would have to violate a student and destroy her spririt.
"It can be done the easy way or the hard way" Lucius said, "I think the choice is obvious, don't you?"

Hermione glanced at her watch and realized she had 10 minutes until she had to meet Ron. "Hey Parvati! I need to go meet Ron" she said, "I'll see you guys later!" She took off and started running to the center of town where she had agreed to meet Ron.
She couldn't wait believe she and Ron were actually going on a date. In 5th year, Hermione had admitted to herself that liked Ron. But she had never been able to work up the nerve to tell him so.
As she got closer, she paused briefly to catch her breath. At that moment, someone came up from behind her and grabbed her. Hermione tried to scream but her mouth was covered by the hand. She struggled desparatly as she was dragged further down a back alley where it was pitch black. She couldn't see a thing, but she could hear the sound of breathing. She soon realized that besides the man holding her, there was another one nearby.
"Please! Let me go" Hemione croaked out in fear.
The man holding her lowered his mouth to her ear and whispered, "Don't talk,"he spoke so softly that Hermione struggled to hear him, "Don't scream and don't fight! It will all be over soon"
Hermione turned around slowly, still unable to see who anyone was. The words ringing in her ears. Suddenly she realized what he meant. She felt her body tense as she shrank away. Terror slowly filling her eyes as she felt herself being pushed to the ground.
