AN: Special thanks to everyone who reviewed the first chapter and those who added my story to their favourites and alerted it.
Happyintherain – thanks for your review! I have planned on making it a multi chapter story so there's some good news there and thank you for your kind words, I was nearly finished with the new chapter when I got your review and it inspired me to keep going.
Plus I think some of you are wondering why Draco was at Hermione's house in the last chapter... all will be revealed.
Hermione will now be called Aries
Please check out my blog, over on LiveJournal, I go by Voldyismyfather on there too and I will be posting hopeful update times for most of my fictions on there
Chapter 2
Aries and Draco apparate into Malfoy Manor. Aries gasps in wonder at the glorious entrance hall she was standing in.
Aries POV:
A black marble staircase which split after twenty odd steps with a dark green carpet flowing down stopping in front of the door. (Like the red carpets for celebrities, the long thin things.) The room was well lit, and wasn't what I had expected for the Malfoy's to have in their home, it was light greyish colour with a white tiled floor. There were potted plants either side at the end of the staircase and a family portrait of Draco, Narcissa and Lucius hanging on the wall, were the staircase split. There were several maple wooden doors spotted around the room and several green comfy chairs as well.
"Welcome to Malfoy Manor," Draco says to me.
"It's beautiful," I reply with a smile.
"Malfoy's have the best of everything," he smirks at me, "And you, my dear cousin will soon learn the joys of living in luxury.
I smirk back at him, "I cannot wait."
"Right, I think it's time to introduce you to everyone," Draco says.
"Alright let's go," I grab hold of his hand.
He pulls me along several corridors and we stop before a tall wooden door.
"Ready?" he asks.
I nod my head in reply.
He drops my hand and pushed open the door and steps inside. I follow behind him.
"Ahh , Draco my boy," a cold voice greets him, "Returned from your mission I see and you've brought a guest, how marvellous."
Cackles break out around the room.
"I have indeed my lord," Draco says calmly, "In fact I believe it is someone my Aunt Bella would like to meet."
"A present for your Aunt Bella," the voice drawls, "Aren't you kind."
He pauses for a moment, "Before Bella is given her gift, I did not receive word that the Dark Mark was seen above the scene?"
"That's because my Lord," Draco address who I assume is the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort, "We thought it would bring to much attention to the situation which has occurred.
"That was the plan," he hissed dangerously, "And what do you mean we, this mission was meant to be done by you and you alone!"
He walks towards Draco, "I sent you to kill the Grangers and place the Dark Mark in the sky, tell me why did you not do it!"
"Excuse me my Lord," I say stepping out from behind Draco, "May I be as bold as to introduce myself?" I ask making a small courtesy, my ring showing on my right hand.
"Ah, Bella's present," he hisses at me, missing the ring on my index finger, "You look like Potter's best friend Mudblood Granger," he turns to Draco, "I told you to kill all of the Grangers, why is there still one alive."
"My Lord," a female voice says.
"What is it Bella?" the Dark Lord asks in an annoyed tone.
"Mother," I mutter under my breath looking in the direction of the female voice to see a women standing there brown curls flying everywhere.
"My Lord," the women I assume is my mother says again, "I believe she is Aries."
"Aries?" he asks, "As in Aries Marie Lestrange, your daughter that was stolen from you?"
"Yes, my Lord," she replies, "She is wearing the family ring, which I placed in a chest and charmed it to appear in new home before her sixth year at Hogwarts."
The Dark Lord's eyes fall on my ring, "How do you know that she is not pretending to be your daughter after all the old fool took her from you, he could have told her about Aries and given her a duplicate ring?"
"Because the chest can only be opened by her blood and her blood alone," my mother informs him.
"Even if this was the case," the Dark Lord says, "She is still a friend of Potter and could be a spy."
"My Lord," Draco says addressing him, "I didn't kill the Grangers, Aries did."
"WHAT!" he bellows.
"I killed them and made it look like they killed themselves, and then I burnt the house down," I smirk evilly at him, "They shall burn in hell for their sins!"
"They hurt her," Draco says, "Because of what she was, a witch."
"And I made them pay the price," I say, looking at the look on my mother's face, "The Roman Catholic bastards they were, I made them commit suicide a sin to them and their fellow believers."
"How did you make them commit suicide girl," the Dark Lord looked into my eyes.
"I used the imperious curse on them," I reply with a smirk.
"My little Aries used the imperious curse!" my mother's voice rings out, "I am so proud!"
"Bella, love," a male voice beside my mother says, "Let the Dark Lord finish."
"Father," I address the man.
"Princess," he replies.
"As touching as this reunion is," the Dark Lord sneered, "I don't believe that my goddaughter is loyal to our side."
I glare at him, "The Granger's who I believed to be my parents lied to me, they beat me and treated me as you treat a house elf," I fix my eyes on his, "I hate Dumbledore, he is probably the one who organised my kidnapping, I am only friends with Potter and Weasley as I figured it would come in useful, the only reason I am is a Gryffindor is because the Sorting Hat didn't want to put me in a place where I would be hated due to my so called muggle heritage."
"I still doubt you girl!" he hissed dangerously at me.
"What would you like to know?" I ask, "For me to prove my loyalty, I can give you the location of Order Headquarters and where members live, I can tell you the prophecy that my Uncle Lucius failed to receive, a privilege of being Potters so called best friend."
Everyone in the room's eyes are on me.
"I can tell you how to hit him where it hurts, that the family that are most important to him are the Weasleys, I can tell you where they live," I continue, "I can tell you he hates the Dursley's because they treated him like a slave and told him he was a freak and his parent s were freaks, I can tell you that he sees Dumbledore as a grandfather figure and a mentor , Hagrid is important to him because he was the first wizard he met."
Suddenly I feel him probing my mind.
Thoughts with Voldemort in my mind
Flashback 1
"You unholy creature," a hand hits me hard across the face, "Go make us dinner then go to bed, you devil child"
Flashback 2
"You're not allowed in church you demon!" the priest hisses at me.
Flashback 3
"Hey Hermione," Ron says to me, "Can you do my Herbology homework for me?"
"Sure Ron," I reply with a fake smile, whilst thinking you stupid git, why do I make myself put up with you.
Flashback 4
"Hey Hermione," Harry asks, "Do you think I will get to live with Sirius this summer at 12 Grimmauld Place?"
"I hope so Harry," I reply feeding him false hope.
Flashback 5
"Miss Granger," Dumbledork greets me, "May I ask you a small favour?"
"What is it Headmaster?" I ask.
"Don't go to the Burrow this summer, stay home with your parents," he says to me with a twinkle in his eye, "I'm sure they miss you and I've written to Molly asking her not to invite you so you don't feel like you have to go."
"Ok Headmaster," I reply, why are you making me stay with people who hate me.
End thoughts with Voldemort.
"Trust me now?" I ask.
He nods his head, "Now tell me your plan as to why no Dark Mark was placed above your old house?"
"As you wish my Lord," I reply.
"Everyone except the Malfoy's and Lestrange's please leave!" he orders.
