Sweet Sacrifice
by JennyRice07
Summary: Dumbledore was killed at the end of Harry's 6th year, but he died by the hands of Voldemort. Since then Voldemort has been taking over the wizarding world. The order s fighting him. Snape is still a spy and has been placed by Voldemort as the Headmaster of Hogwarts. Hermione's family are killed and she is taken prisoner. There I think that should just about sum it up.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Chapter 1
Meet your maker
June:
Harry sat at the table in the Weasley's kitchen hanging on to every word that Kingsley said.
"What?!" he asked for probably the third time.
"For the last time Hermione's parents were attacked and killed. Hermione is missing and we are trying to find her but we have a feeling that Voldemort already has her."
When they finally overcame their shock both boys reacted at once. Ron cried and Harry stood and punched the wall. Then Harry turned to Ron and said, "Don't worry. We will find her! We will Ron."
6-weeks later:
Hermione glanced into the old, cracked mirror that hung over the dusty sink. Beside it was the small toilet that she was forced to use. It also was covered in dust. Everything down her was. She had been brought to the Malfoy's and locked in the basement. Their was a small bed with a bare mattress. Hermione was given one thin blanket to sleep under. It was the middle of the summer so it was hot anyways. They floor was covered in a layer of dirt so thick that you couldn't even tell their was a floor. Their was no light so her eyes has grown accustomed to the darkness. The only window was the size of a tissue box and had bars running down it. Insects would often fly in from that window.
She turned back to the mirror. Her figure had shrunk. She looked almost like a skeleton. Sure she had been a small girl to begin with, but now she was so thin that her skin was hanging off. You could see her ribs through the white t-shirt she was wearing. Or at least it had been white. It was dirty and ripped in several places now. One of the pant legs on her jeans was hanging on at the knee by a little piece of fabric. She had been her for six long weeks.
Six weeks of very little to no food. Six weeks of no decent running water. Six weeks and not a clean outfit to wear. She wished that she would just die already. She was so weak from starvation that she could hardly stand up anymore.
Suddenly Hermione heard the door to the staircase open. She hoped that they would bring her some food tonight. Instead Bellatrix and Narcissa were standing their. She stood and walked to the cell door.
"Tonight witch, you will meet our lord. In fact," Bellatrix gave her shrill laugh, "Tonight could be you're death."
"Bella do not talk that way! Our lord will not hurt you if you do as he asks you. Well he won't hurt you much. Look at you. You're disgusting. We must make you presentable."
They pulled Hermione up the stairs into a bathroom. Narcissa tore off what remained of Hermione's clothing and started to scrub her down. Bellatrix entered the room with a dress in hand. Once Hermione was clean enough they dressed her in a red dress and fixed her hair.
Hermione didn't remember much of the details after that. Only that she was suddenly looking at Voldemort as he called her to come forth.
"You have been friends with Potter since you started school. I am going to ask you to join my ranks. Join and I will spare you're life. If not I'll send you back to that prison cell and do just what it takes to keep you alive. What do you say?"
Hermione didn't answer. She kept staring at the ground.
"My Lord if I may?" Severus Snape had stepped forth and bowed down.
"Go ahead Severus."
"If she joins your ranks and then goes back to school and spends all of her time with Potter she will leave and have the order protect her. Perhaps we should take an alternative route to insure that doesn't happen."
Voldemort rubbed his chin, "Go on."
"Perhaps if we marry her off to ...oh I don't know...Malfoy and I make them both Head Girl and Boy that will keep her away from Potter."
"Hum...I like your thinking Severus. Draco and Hermione will marry tomorrow."
"My Lord." Draco stepped forward and bowed.
"Yes Draco."
"I do not wish to be married to the mud blood."
"Yes Draco I can see how this would affect you. After Potter is dead we will get rid of her. For now though you will do as you're told. Tomorrow you will marry Hermione."
"Yes my lord."

The next day, Hermione found herself dressed in an ivory dress in Malfoy Manner. Soon it was time for her to meet Draco in front of Voldemort. He personally was doing the ceremony. Narcissa escorted her to the ball room.
Twenty minutes later she was Hermione Malfoy. School started in two weeks. This was going to be a long year.
