Days or perhaps weeks has passed and all Hermione could think about is the pain from the Cruciatus Curse and all the physical torture that Bellatrixhas caused.

But, the worse pain that she had felt was when Bellatrix had carved the word MUDBLOOD onto her soft flesh.

Narcissa would always come by to give her food or help heal the little scratches but not the big bruises and deep cuts.

"Hermione dear you have to eat something, you're getting very thin."Narcissa said

She shook her head no and closed her eyes.

Narcissa sighed, and gave her one last look,before exiting the room.

Lord Voldemort paced around the drawing room of Malfoy Manor,when suddenly an ambitious plan popped up in his head

"Lucius can you call Draco and your wife." He said to the man standing right behind him

"Yes my lord."

Lucius walked out of the drawing room, 10 minutes later he walked into the room followed by Draco and Narcissa.

"You called my lord."said Draco

"Yes, I wanted to tell you that I have another task for you to complete."

"My Lord?"

"I want you to marry the MUDBLOOD."

"What, have I heard you correctly my Lord?!"

"Yes, I want you to marry her."

"May I ask why?"

"I want you to get information from her about the Order and I want you to find her and the rest of the Golden Trio's, weaknesses."

"But marry her?"

"If you complete this task you and your family will be spared from any punishments, plus once you marry her, she will be forced to tell you everything, since you do have power over her."

"Very well then my Lord, I will complete this task you have given me." Draco said calmly

"Oh, Narcissa and Lucius I want you to get the all wedding preparations ready, this is going to be a small wedding ,so no need for a feast or a reception."

"Yes we will get all that sorted tomorrow my Lord." Lucius said

"Very well then, you all may leave and the wedding will be the day after tomorrow."

With Draco's task on all three of their minds they all left the drawing room and separated, going their own way.

Draco slowly walked back to his room with many thoughts on his mind.

"Can't believe this is happening ,it's ridiculous and father hasn't even objected to this idea yet."

"Doesn't he care about the bloodline and traditions?"

"And it's the Mudblood of all people."

"But, I wonder how she would look like in a wedding dress- ugh Draco no."

He finally reached his room and went straight to his bed still lost in thought about his task.

Narcissa walked down into the cellar where she saw Hermione awake, as she turned around she greeted her with a small smile, with fear in her eyes.

"Hermione, I have something I need to tell you."

"Yes, Narcissa?"

"Well, the Dark Lord umm, how do I put this together, well wants Draco to marry you."

"What?!"

"That's the most absurd idea I've ever heard him think of !"

"I'll never marry him, but why does he want me to?!"she said with water in her eyes.

"Now it's not the time to explain the whole thing but if he does marry you we'll be spared from any punishments, please reconsider this Hermione my family depends on both of you."

"Won't Lucius worry that his blood line is going to be contaminated by a Mudblood."Hermione said

"Don't call yourself that and I don't think he has the time to care about that right now, since our family will be spared from all the punishments."

"I know that this is hard on you but please Hermione."

After a few minutes of silence Hermione finally spoke.

"Narcissa I'll marry him."

"You will, I-I thank you."Narcissa pulled her into a hug and heard her winced in pain.

"Oops sorry."

"It's alright Narcissa, and I'm marrying him because you been nothing but a mother to me, and I don't want to see you in pain."

"Thank you Hermione."

After that Narcissa left, leaving Hermione in deep thought and tears.

"What have I gotten myself into, this is my whole life we're talking about."she cried to herself

"Why me , just why?"

She laid down on the floor still lost in thought and in tears, then darkness took over her and she fell asleep.
