Hey Everyone!!! I worked really hard on this chapter so I hope you like it. I need to know if I should make Voldie married or does he just have lovers. When you review, please give me your insight.

Disclaimer: I think I may be getting a little annoyed at this, oh well, everything belongs to J.K. Rowling and Disney, I'll get over it later.

Chapter 4 - Saga

As Hermione was led out of the castle by Crabbe, she was instucted to take a portkey to Hogwarts. Right after Hermione had graduated Voldemort had taken over Hogwarts. He now lived there with his lover, Hasina, and a few of his most trusted death-eaters.

Some more brainless guards tied her hands behind her back and then they trust her in front of Voldemort, in what used to be the Great Hall.

"Ahh... a mudblood...a feisty, cunning, and clever mudblood…what are you here for?" Voldemort asked shrewdly.

"I was captured by Malfoy and brought here." She said, determined to stare in to those red eyes.

"Yes, yes...that reminds me...Nott!" he said. A little man with black-brown eyes came up to Voldemort.

"Yes, my Lord?" he squeaked.

"Tell Malfoy, wait, mudblood!" Hermione jerked her head up. "Which Malfoy captured you?"

"Draco," she said through gritted teeth.

"Of course, tell him and his men to come home. I need to discuss something very important with him and we'll throw him a banquet as well." Voldemort said quickly.

"Yes, yes master." The little man scuttled off.

"You need to get used to referring to me in that fashion since you are now our captive." Voldemort said, as casually as if he were telling her to change her hairstyle.

"Never," she said very clearly.

"My dear, you must understand your situation…" Voldemort began, but Hermione cut him off.

"I understand my situation perfectly," she said angrily, "and never will I say lord when I am referring to you. You have no reason to be called that as you have done nothing important or beneficial to wizards."

"You have certain powers, Miss Granger, powers that overwhelm me for a mudblood. One of these abilities is the one to get under people's skin. Unfortunately for you, your power has failed to work on me. Crucio!" he said mercilessly.

Hermione soon learned what pure pain felt like. It was as though a thousand knifes were plunged into each and every cell of her body. She forced herself not to scream, but she still writhed on the ground.

Voldemort laughed coldly. "Potter!" he yelled. In came Harry in sweeping black robes. (A/N: I know, yes Harry has been captured.) Harry had been taken by Voldemort himself. They didn't kill him, but instead, they used him as a messenger. Although that decision was made to Lucius Malfoy's great detestment.

"Take her to the kitchens!" Voldemort called.

"I was informed by Draco Malfoy himself to take her to his fiancee's chamber." Harry said.

"Then take her there." Said Voldemort carelessly.

Hermione followed Harry out of the Great Hall and through the familiar staircases and hallways. Harry didn't seem to want to talk but Hermione had to ask him a question burning inside him.

"How has it been here?" she asked rather hesitantly.

"Not bad. I've never really committed myself to the dark side. Our people need a leader, I can't do it, I don't have a big enough role here, but you do, you have that opportunity to keep our dreams alive. Hermione I believe in you, we all believe in you." He said rather desperately.

They walked in silence the rest of the way, as Hermione didn't know what to say with this new responsibility being thrust upon her. They came to a painting of a snowy landscape.

"Kiwi-Guava," Harry said. The painting swirled and then revealed a hallway with many doors. "Go to the third door on the right, milady." He smirked slightly.

Hermione had just started through the painting when he gave the directions. She turned around quickly and turned stark white. "Harry please don't tell anyone, if they find out, I'm dead." She whispered quickly.

"I know," he whispered back, "I just wanted to see if what Ron said was true."

"I promise I'll free our people," she kissed him lightly on the cheek, "I promise."

With that Hermione went through the door to find Draco's fiancee. It was the one she expected but was still surprised by: Pansy Parkinson.

A/N: Well, that's chapter four. I really hope you liked it. This will not turn into a H/H fic so don't worry. Yes, Hermione does have a deep dark secret that will be revealed in a later chapter. Next chapter is the banquet and I might have that one up later tonight or early tomorrow. Please review and to those who already have, I love you guys. Thanks for reading, Epequa ; )
