The Letters move towards death

Aaron and Draco come back from looking for Hermione with no luck of finding her, hoping that Draco had had better luck. Aaron sat down on the couch, but Harry noticed a letter sitting open on the windowsill open. He walked over to it and noticed it was addressed to Aaron and Hermione Riddle. He slowly looked over to the boy. So this is Hermione's brother. He was going to set it back down but curiosity of who would send them a letter by the last name Riddle got the better of him. He slowly started reading the letter getting more and more interested and stuck on reading it as he went. Once he was finished he fell to his knees and just sat staring at the letter that was now sitting on the floor.

Aaron looked over him with curiosity, but shook it off thinking he was just worried about Hermione. He turned around and started reading a book hoping it would help pass the time. Harry then saw another letter sitting on the windowsill. He opened it also and started reading. It was more of a confirmation of the first letter.

Hermione and Draco came running into the room slamming the door. Draco ran the baby into the nursery, then came back to a still scared Hermione who was now sitting against the wall on the floor.

"Draco, who was that?"

"I don't know..."

"Then why did we run."

"I just had a bad feeling about him is all." It wasn't totaly lieing. He didn't know who it was, but he knew what they wanted. He suddenly was't so sure that he should keep on hiding the letter from her. He got up and started walking toward the windowsill that he had left her and Aaron's letter on. "Hermione, do you remember when you came in earlier and asked me what I was holding? Wait...where is it. It's gone. I put it right here."

"Draco, yes I remember, but what are you talking about? What are you looking for."

"I didn't want to tell you for fear it would make you feel even worse. But now I can't find it."

"Whatever it is..."

"I have it right here." Harry walked towards Hermione and was about to hand her the letter but it was snatched away from Aaron.

"My name came first on the envelope I get to read it first."

Hermione had a look of shock on her face and walked over to him and snatched it from his hands. "Where are your manners, haven't you ever heard of 'Ladies first?"

"Whatever"

Draco looked at the ground. He wasn't able to keep the letter from her that he knew would hurt her even more. Hermione took out the letter and started reading aloud.

"Hermione and Aaron Riddle:

It has come to my attention that your discrace for a mother has told you the truth about who you really are. Now that you know the truth, I will be expecting to meet you face to face now. If you do not exceed my expectations as my offspring, there will be tremendous consequences. Here are a few things that are required of you to do within the next month:

1. You will both excell in all your school work. I will NOT have any stupid children using the last name Riddle.

2. You will both become Slytherins as of the start of the next week.

3. You will cease to "hang out" with anybody who is against the dark side.

4. Last but not least, you will both receive your dark mark and be trained to take over your fathers LOVELY buisness.

These are four simple expectations as of right now. I will set a date and time for you both to be transported to a place that I will not name in a letter for fear that it will fall into the wrong hands. I also expect you to write to me as if I were your diary. I want to know everything you are doing during the day. There are two black owls that will be sent to you. Use them well. You will each receive 300 galleons a month as long as you follow my rules. Beware, someone will be watching you and keeping you from harm. But he will also be informing me of everything you do. He is not very friendly and I wish you NOT to be nosey as to figure out who it is.

Until we speak again,

Tom Marvelo Riddle,
'Lord Voldemort' "

Hermione finished the letter and stared at it for just a few seconds. One tear dropped down her face which she wiped away. She stood up straight and walked to sit down. She looked up at her friends with only rage in her eyes. "He can tell me what he wants me to do, but that doesn't mean I will listen to it." She got up and walked towards the door. She was about to exit when she felt a hand on her arm. Draco was looking at her so intently, in wonder and in fear.

"Hermione, if you don't abide by his rules, he will surely have you killed."

"Then death it shall be!"

A/N- ik it was short, but I liked the sound of that ending!
