A/N: Okay things are going to start getting back on track now, and the only way I can do this is to skip past the last couple days at Hogwarts, and skip past where Lucius meets them when they get to Pansy's. This chapter is going to start with Lucius talking to Hermione about what is going to happen when she meets Voldy. Sorry if anyone wanted to read those parts, but I really need to get this back on track...

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

Chapter 10: Preparations

"The mark cannot be disguised by any means. No spell, charm, or hex will make it invisible. It can not be covered up by any muggle invention. Once it is upon your skin you will not be able to hide it. Clothes may cover it but there are risks involved. Do you understand now?"

Lucius' explanation caused Hermione to think. She would only be able to wear long sleeves no matter what the weather.

"Well foolish girl, do you understand?"

"Yes Lucius, I do. And it doesn't change how I feel. I want my revenge. I want to see the worlds precious Harry Potter go down. I want to help bring it about."

"Very well I will take you to see him in an hours time, but do not expect it to be easy. Now go and prepare."

Hermione stood up and bowed her head to Lucius before calmly walking to the room she had been given. When Lucius had met them at the platform she was a little worried that he wasn't going to keep up his end of the deal.

She spent the whole first day of break worrying about that. Lucius seemed to be able to be everywhere, but nowhere when Hermione was looking for him. Pansy eventually tired of having to trail Hermione everywhere, as it would have been easy for her to get lost, and told her that she did not need to try to find Lucius, he would find her when he wanted to speak with her.

Finally he sent for her. He explained everything she would have to go through while meeting with Voldemort. He seemed to be trying to scare her out of getting the mark, but she refused to let him change her mind.

Looking at the clock by her bed she saw that she had spent 30 minutes just thinking about what had happened already. Quickly she got up and threw on her dress.

As she walked down the stairs to the portkey she realized that she had forgotten to ask Lucius about the bracelet yet again.

She was nervous, no nervous wasn't quite the word for how she was feeling. She had to finally admit to herself that she was terrified. Voldemort was behind that door, waiting for her. As soon as she walked through that door she would either die or be allowed into the Death Eaters. Preparing herself she rapped on the door twice and entered.

A/N: I told you that if I broke it up into more chapters to explain what she goes through that they would be small. If you want me to keep doing small chapters I can, but if you would rather a long chapter next I set this up to where I could do that.
