It's My Life

Last time -

"Definitely, but don't worry we can talk during the feast." He gave her an encouraging smile.

As she walked away towards the Great Hall she saw Harry and Ron and went to sit by them.

"I apologize for delaying the feast a second longer, but there is someone who needs to still be sorted." At this point people searched for the 'missing' first year. "She is an older student and I will now call her." There was a dramatic pause for effect.

"Will Hermione Malfoy please step forward." Dumbledore practically ordered.

"What?!" She screamed to the whole of Gryffindor table. Ron's mouth dropped open in surprise and Harry looked confused.

She looked at the Slytherin table and saw Draco and Blaise instinctively look the opposite way, suddenly interested in the tapestries hanging from the ceiling.

"Hermione Malfoy." Dumbledore called again.

"Sorry, Hermione." Dumbledore whispered to her when she got there. "I didn't want this to happen either, but I have to follow your parents wishes...Now have a seat."

"Slytherin!"

The trio left as soon as the feast began. Blaise and Draco followed suit.

Hermione was in tears as they walked onto the grounds outside.

They heard footsteps running behind them. "Hermione!" Someone called out.

Get out of my way, Potter!" Threatened Draco as he drew his wand.

He snorted. "Make me," was his teasing reply and he drew his own wand.

"Cru-!"

"Draco!" Hermione shouted in his ear and had her wand poked into his side, as she had taken him by surprise. "I wouldn't do that if I were a scum bag like you!" She spit loathingly.

She was jerked back violently by Blaise who instantly had a wand to her neck, and an arm tightly secured around her waist.

"Sorry, but you need to learn the rules and discipline for pureblooded families, Hermione, and Blaise and I know just how to train you." Draco and Blaise smirked.

"Let go of her this minute." Harry and Ron threatened.

"Family comes first and if you try anything my sister will pay the price." Draco snarled, narrowing his eyes.

Draco and Blaise dragged Hermione to Hogsmeade.

"Now, let's go see mom and dad shall we?" Draco smirked and the three apparated away on the spot.

Chapter 4: Home Sweet Home

Somewhere

The man sat in throne-like chair. His pet hissing around his feet. His servant scuttled into the room.

"Master, your dinner is served." He handed him a tray of unidentifiable food, never a good sign.

"Take it away, I don't feel in the mood to eat." The strange man dismissed it with a wave of his hand.

The short, and balding man did as he was told.

The master was in deep thought. My work must carry on...But how? The Malfoy's were a last resort, but even that has proved to fail. Suddenly the mark on the man's arm burnt green, and in his mind came the brief outline of a young woman, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Yes! I can't believe it worked! My work shall finally be finished!" His eyes gleamed unnervingly as plots formed in his mind. "Time to visit some old friends..."

Darkness, now over took the scene, and Hermione was in a room. She heard a door open and close.

"Hermione..." Two red slits looked at her from the other end of the room.

"Wh..who's there?" Her voice cracked, giving away her fear.

"It's me, Hermione. Your new fiance."

"I...I don't kn...know what you..are talking about..." She replied.

"Lying does not suit you, honey. I know your father told you all about our little agreement. You know exactly why I came."

"No..." She whispered. "You weren't suppose to come... You weren't suppose to be alive..."

"Oh, but I am...and now I've come for my wife to be." He answered smoothly. "Unless of course you never want to see your family again." He continued with an evil glint in his eye.

"Leave me and my family alone!" She shouted.

"Have it your way then." He turned to Hermione's right and suddenly Draco was standing there. "Advera K-"

"NO!!!" Hermione woke up shouting, in the Slytherin dormitry. She was soaked in sweat, as beads continued to form on her forehead, and roll down her tear stained face.

"Hermione, are you alright?" The girl named Maddie asked concerned from her right. She had always been a good friend of Draco and Blaise, and Hermione had been let into the common room by her last night. They had not gotten to know each other too much, but hit it off from the start. She was the only friend Hermione had in Slytherin and she had a feeling she would need one of them, as time wore on.

"Uh...ye...yeah jus...just had a ni...nightmare." Hermione stuttered in utter confusion.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" She asked, shaken with Hermione's pale appearance.

"No...I...I'd rather n..not." She said, still flustered from the cloudy dreams. "I..it was really ju...just a ba..bad dream...No big deal."

"Ok, if you're sure." Said Maddie, still unconvinced.

Hermione checked the clock. It was 5 am, and she knew that there was no chance of her getting back to sleep. She stared at the ceiling for twenty minutes, and decided it was time to get up. She went into the bathroom and took a 40 minute shower. When she got out, she did a few charms on her hair and got dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a red v-neck shirt, on top of a yellow-gold cami. Even though she was placed in Slytherin due to her family's blood, she decided to wear Gryffindor colors just to make her dearest brother and his charming friend angry. Plus, Hermione knew she would give her friends a laugh.

Once, she was dressed and had finished getting ready the clock read 6:20. Hermione decided to go for an early breakfast, even though classes wouldn't start till 8.

She walked through the dungeons without encountering anyone, which was the sign of a good morning in Hermione's opinion. She especially did not want to see Draco or Blaise, as she remember last night and the nightmare she had afterwards.

Outside Malfoy Manor

They trio apparated right in front of the huge mansion, and Blaise still had his arm latched around Hermione's waist.

"Let me go you jerks!" Hermione shouted, trying to wriggle herself free.

"No way! I'm not gonna get in trouble just so you can run back to Potter and that Weasel!" Blaise retorted.

"Well let me tell you something; they're a whole lot better than you two!" Hermione screamed, while jabbing her elbow into his rib cage.

Blaise taken by surprise, let his arm drop, as he gasped for air. She pushed him into Draco, making them topple to the ground. Hermione then ran towards the forest, and was about to apparate when a hand grabbed her ankle, swiftly pulling her down.

Hermione felt her ankle twist and groaned in pain. Turning around she came face to face with her father, of all people.

Lucius grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her up, not releasing her. "Let's go. Now!"

She entered the manor, and could see three people in the sitting area. Blaise was glaring at her, Draco held his mask of emotion, and Narcissa looked somewhat sad.

"Care to explain." Lucius said coldly, pushing Hermione towards the others.

"You said to bring her home once she had been sorted." Draco was annoyed. "And besides she was the one fighting us."

"Shut up you-" Hermione began, but Lucius cut her off.

"Stop! Why did he sort her so quickly? I thought he would wait." He seemed aggravated.

"Father, Dumbledore goes against everything you tell him." Draco supplied, while thinking 'not quite...'

"Listen, you can't play both sides of the field. It just doesn't work that way. You have to choose your side, dear." Narcissa said, frightened and worriedly.

"Well, it looks like Dumbledore chose for us! The fool!" Yelled Lucius in rage. "I don't want to lose her!...Not again!"

"Lucius, maybe he won't go through with it." Narcissa suggested hopefully.

"Oh, yeah, because that worked out so great when I didn't want to get the Dark Mark!" Draco spat out, doubt present in his mind.

"Wait a minute! What's going on?!" Hermione asked alarmed. She was completely lost, but obviously they were talking about her.

"Sit down, hun. Let me explain. You see is goes like this," Narcissa began. "We helped the Dark side and the Dark Lord for a very long time. A long time ago, after we had sent you away, he somehow found out that we had a daughter in the world, but she was believed to be dead. Voldemort was suspicious though. He needed - and still needs an heir-...so he ordered us to sort you into Slytherin whenever we had found you, and it would alert him immediately about your presence due to the blood pact we made with him... In the pact we, being undoubtedly loyal, would promise him our only daughter, if she was found to be alive, in...in marriage after she had turned 17, under the condition that he would not kill our family. He has held up his end of the blood pact, therefore he will now come after us, you more specifically."

To say Hermione was speechless and angry, was an understatement. Keeping her voice steady, she asked in dangerously quiet voice, "And if I refuse to marry him?"

"It's a blood pact, so we will all die if you don't hold up your end of the bargain." Lucius replied sharply. "Besides if you refuse, he will force you to."

She was absolutely furious with her entire family, since they all clearly knew about this. "How in the hell could you do this to me?! What is wrong with you all?! You didn't even care about me, just your own sorry asses!!! I can't believe I thought you might actually care for me!" Hermione shouted outraged.

"Sweetie-" Narcissa began, but Hermione cut her off.

"I'm leaving!" The witch stomped towards the entrance, and apparated back to Hogwarts with a 'pop.'

Hermione had never been more upset in her life, than at that moment. She was hurt, angry, and upset. Her family hadn't even considered her of her life. What if she had already married someone?! Not that she was anywhere near prepared to marry anyone, but just the thought of being forced to marry someone that evil regardless of her life or plans! Ugh! She couldn't stand it. She got to the Great Hall and walked instinctively towards the Gryffindor table, but remembered that she had been resorted.

She quickly made a sharp turn and sat at towards the end of the Slytherin table, seeing that most students weren't up yet. She ate some bacon and then some toast, with jam and butter, while taking occasional sips of her ice cold pumpkin juice. Hermione was done eating by 6:40, but sat at the table for another 20 minutes before finally deciding to get up and go for a walk.

Once outside on the grounds Hermione walked towards the black lake, watching the beautiful sunrise ahead of her. She was lost in her thoughts, and tripped over a rock sticking out of the ground. Hermione quickly braced herself for the impact she was sure that would come, but instead a strong pair of hands gripped her waist, to stop her from falling. Hermione turned around to see....

Haha! Cliffy I know, but I had to! Anyways since I feel it's been awhile since I've updated I tried to make this chapter extra long. Tell me what you think! And you will see Blaise and Draco in the next chapter, but I centered this one mainly around Hermione. Love it? Hate it? Don't care? Review! Til the next chap.
