Chapter Ten

Rage and Secrets...

Harry's POV

"I swear I am going to kill him!" Ron yelled, punching a wall in the common room.

The nurse kicked us out of the hospital wing, so we decided to come back to the common room. We thought that Ron would calm down, but maybe not so much…

"Ron, she's probably just talking to him in her dream… Don't over exaggerate it…" Ginny pleaded, giving glares to anyone who dared to look this way that was in here.

"How can I not? He's in her DREAMS! That's even WORSE!" Ron yelled back.

"Speaking of him, no one has seen him today." Luna said, sitting by Neville and Ginny.

I watched as Ginny now glared at Luna, giving her the notion to be quiet. Neville glared back at Ginny in her defense, and I felt myself smile at my girlfriend's stubbornness.

"EXACTLY!" Ron yelled, slamming down on the floor, his head in his hands. "WHY DOES SHE LIKE THAT….THAT….JERK?"

I knelt next to him. "Bloody hell Ron, you need to calm down."

I felt him trembling with rage. It had never occurred to me that he could feel so passionately for Hermione; I mean, I felt strongly for her, but as a sister. I had a feeling that we both had a difference in these strong feelings…

Lily's POV

I sat on the desk, putting some ingredients Snape gave me into the cauldron. He was closer to me than usual, but my head hurt too bad to wrap my mind around this fact.

"How are you feeling?" Snape asked quietly, not looking up from chopping belladonna.

"Okay I guess," I answered, putting some ginger into the potion.

"Are you going to tell me what has happened to you?" He asked me, his voice trying to hide emotion.

"I…I just fell… That's all." I said, looking away.

I felt him staring at me, but I just couldn't bring myself to look back. I felt his hand turn my head towards him, his face inches from mine; my heart started beating fast without any knowledge of why.

"Why won't you tell me?" He asked, his voice sounded hurt.

"I…I…" I hesitated, trying to decide whether or not to tell him. "It's nothing…"

"Lily, please don't lie to me…" His voice made me look in his pleading eyes.

"It's just…" I sighed, closing my eyes.

"Just what?" He gave my hand a gentle reassuring squeeze.

"I just don't fit in here…" I said, not wanting to be a snitch.

Then, I had the strangest warm feeling on my lips. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Snape was kissing me. "NO WAY!" A voice screamed in my head; it screamed louder when I did something I didn't think I would ever do: I kissed back.

He pulled away, walking back to his desk. "I'm sorry Miss Evans… You are now dismissed."

"But…" I was…..was…POUTING? I couldn't believe myself!

He looked up at me to continue. "But what Miss Evans?"

I hesitated, walking to him. "I want you to do it again…"

His brightened eyes widened. "You what Miss Evans?"

I walked behind his desk, taking his hand. "I…I…I want you to do it again…"

He caressed my cheek, kissing me softly again. I felt like I was flying my heart was beating so fast. But this time, neither of us pulled away; this was the start of our dark secret…

Draco's POV

I lay on the couch in the Slytherin common room, tracing my hand along my forearm. This was my secret…the secret that I am a death eater… I may have told Hermione in her dreams, but how could she know it was a truth?

I sighed, pulling back down my tattered sleeves at the sound of footsteps above me in the dormitory. I needed to tell her, but I don't think I can do it again. I brought my fingers to my lips. That kiss… the feeling still lingered on my lips. It was perfect, yet I don't think I could ever bring her to do that again.

"Malfoy, you have some explaining to do." A voice only a true death eater would know demanded from behind me. I shot up quickly, staring the young dark lord in the face.

"I see you are still hiding here, Riddle." I greeted, with a slight smirk. "I'm surprised no one has caught you yet."

"Just because I disguised myself back to Tom Riddle does not mean you can call me by that name or treat me no less than if I was Voldemort in your presence!" He hissed; the room seemed to get darker at the sound of his voice.

"My apologies for my son's behavior, dark lord," My father appeared; the common room seemed to be locked away so death eaters can appear. "I have infiltrated the school with order, lord."

"Indeed you have, Lucius. I order you to keep this infiltration a secret well kept; the others do not need to know what I am doing. I have chosen who belongs to me now, and now I have to pose as a student to watch after her." Tom Riddle -Voldemort- instructed.

"As you wish my lord," My father bowed, making me roll my eyes.

'Suck up…' I thought.

"Lucius, one more thing…" He continued.

"Mi lord?" My father questioned.

"Watch after Draco and Snape very closely. They will become very handy to my plan very soon" With that last order, he disappeared.

"Son, you need to respect your lord. You bring everyone grave danger when he is disrespected or disobeyed by you." He said.

"I don't care. It is not my problem whether I respect him or not. He treats everyone like his possession, but I'm not going to put up with it like you are. I am NOT a possession." I retorted.

"It is your problem actually, Draco. You are not a possession, but you are owned by him now. Are you really going to risk your mother's life as well as mine for being a….a….rebellious teenager!" He took a long sigh, cooling down somewhat, lowering his hand as if he changed his mind on the abuse. "We have got you everything you wanted Draco. We got you toys, a mansion, books, a telescope, a fancy school, expensive things, and wealth. What more can you ask from us?"

"Wealth can't buy happiness father. Now get out." I sent him a hard glare before the scene become how it once was: just me, myself, and I.

Hermione's POV

I traced my finger along my wrist and forearm. 'It can't be…' I whispered in a barely audible tone. My visitors have left in a rampage, and my beautiful nightmare had ended. Now, a real nightmare was beginning.

I was speechless, absolutely speechless. A lot of things happened to me, but I would have never dreamed of this. On my arm imbedded into my flesh and skin was the dreadful tattoo…the mark of the deatheaters…
