Hey people! Sorry for the long update, I've been having a small case of writers' block…but anyway, here's the next chapter…

Disclaimer: Me? Own Harry Potter? Why, I'd love to…Sadly wakes up from dream Damn it…

Marrying Thy Enemy

Chapter 7

"Look, I have nothing to say to you, so why don't you just unlock the door and let me out already…" Hermione was trying her best to be calm so that maybe, possibly, he would let her out.

"No Hermione, there's still some things that haven't been explained to you".

"What? What else could there possibly be that would make my life any worse?" Hermione was getting aggravated and desperately wanted to leave the room.

It didn't seem like Malfoy was going to give in though, so she decided to take a seat in a chair in front of a desk.

"Hermione, I know you probably just about want to kill me right now, but please say you'll listen to me first?" He was trying to do the exact same thing as she was…sucking up and being nice to get what you want.

Hermione decided that she would give him a few minutes, then go and write Harry a letter back.

"Fine, I'm listening", she replied in a moody voice. She was getting pretty tired of this whole thing.

"Alright, just let me tell you the whole story without you interrupting first…Okay?" he replied to her as he sat on the desk in front of her.

"Okay", she answered, hoping his story wouldn't take too long…

"Well, her goes…I guess you already know the fact that your parents were having money problems before you were born, so that's really not anything new to you. But what you don't know was that my father was the person who caused your parents to loose all their money…" he started.

"WHAT?" Hermione asked loudly.

"Now remember, you agreed that you'd let me finish my story first."

"Okay, whatever, keep going…"

Malfoy took a large breath before beginning again,"Now, I'm not really suppose to be telling you this, so don't mention it to anyone…Anyway, my father had already know that your mother would be giving birth to the most powerful witch in this century, so he came up with a plan. He decided that he would sneak into the muggle bank where your parents kept their money, and would transport it to a secret vault at this mansion. His reason, mainly, for doing this was because the Dark Lord wanted a new heir, and he entrusted it to Lucius to find one".

Malfoy paused for a second to see if Hermione understood everything that he had said so far. After a few seconds, Hermione nodded, allowing him to continue…

"Well, when Lucius learned about you, he decided that you would be the perfect choice for the one to give birth to Voldemort's heir. When Lucius returned to the Dark Lord to tell him that he had found the perfect candidate, let's just say that Voldemort wasn't completely pleased. However, he did know about the diseases that were spreading through the pureblood families and decided to go along with Lucius' plan, even if you were muggleborn."

He paused again to see if Hermione understood, but her expression was very cloudy and difficult to read. He decided just to continue on.

"Voldemort agreed under one condition though, that Lucius' son must be the father of the child, so that one of it's parents atleast, was a complete pureblood, so that's where I come in."

He finished his story a looked back down at Hermione. She seemed to be in a trance, so he decided to call her back to her senses…

"Hermione, have you heard anything I've been telling you?"

Hermione, who had been in deep thought, replied,"So, what are we going to do about this then?"

"Well, I really don't know what we can do…yet. My parents don't know that I've told you this, so were going to have to act like we get along perfectly fine, atleast while they're around," he replied.

"Yeah, well I guess that solves that problem, but what about the other one, you know, the whole baby thing?" Hermione asked hesitantly.

Malfoy lowered his gaze from her, as if he was trying to decide what exactly he would say, then answered," I really don't know. I'm sorry to say it, but your parents signed a magical contract, and those aren't easy to go back on. So we really don't have a choice…"

"WHAT? Are you telling me that there is now way out of this at all? I don't know about you, but I really don't want to have a kid for Voldemort, or a kid at all for that matter!"

"I'm sorry Hermione, there is really nothing that we can do, unless you can think of something…"

"Well, I'm just going to have to think of something won't I?"

This was really getting old, and Hermione just wanted to go back to her room. It was already a problem that she had to get married and have a kid with Malfoy, but there was no way that she was going to have an heir for Voldemort. No way.

"Well, I'm going to go back to my room. See ya later Hermione", Malfoy replied as he got off the desk and walked back over to the door.

"You just tell me when you have an idea later, then we'll talk more about it then…" he finished as he left the room.

Hermione sat there for a few more minutes, thinking once again. There was no way that her life could get any worse.

After a few more seconds, she left the office and went back to her room, ready to write a letter back to her friends, or atleast she hoped that they were still her friends…

Hermione made it back to her room and pulled a piece of parchment, quill, and ink out of her desk. She sat down on the chair and began to write.

Dear Harry and Ron, if your reading this…),

Hey guys. I know this must have came as a huge shock to you, but believe me when I say it isn't all what it seems to be. I really can't tell you too much right now, but I will tell you more eventually. Please don't be mad at me guys, and please write me back soon!

Love,

Hermione

Hermione reread her letter. She wished she could have told them everything, but she had agreed with Malfoy that they wouldn't tell anyone, and she was pretty sure that included Harry and Ron.

She then went over to her window, where when of the Malfoy's owls was sitting. She gave the letter to the bird, then watched it fly out of her room and into the sunset…

WOOT! WOOT! Another chapter done. Yippee! Please tell me what you think in a review… I will try to update again this week, so keep your fingers crossed!
