Hermione Granger.Slytherin?! Chapter 8: The Cruciatus Curse

In the weeks after Voldemort's visit and leading up to Christmas Break, Hermione was slowly becoming more and more evil. And Draco loved it.

"You have gotten so much more lovely lately, Hermione." Malfoy commented during one Potions lesson. "What's your secret?" "Being Voldemort's daughter helps a little." Hermione whispered. All the Slytherins already knew that Hermione was the daughter of Lord Voldemort.

"Miss Granger," Snape said. "Would you like to lead the class today?"

Hermione smiled. "Why of course Professor Snape." She said. "I'd love to."

As Hermione began to instruct the class on Awakening Draughts, the Gryffindors discovered that when it came to favoring the Slytherins, Hermione was even worse than Snape. It was like a long torture session, and Ron's behavior wasn't helping them win any points. Ron kept muttering things to Harry and Harry tried not to listen to Ron, but he couldn't help it.

After one particularly rude disruption, Hermione finally cracked and whipped out her wand. "Let me teach you some respect, Weasley!' she yelled. She pionted her wand at him and cried, "Crucio!"

The class fell silent as Ron lay on the floor, twisting in pain.

"The Cruciatus Curse," Harry muttered to himself. "But where did she get the power needed to perform it?"

Hermione raised her wand again and said, "Finite Incantatem!" Ron stopped moving.

"If anyone in this class says a word about this to anyone else, I will used the Killing Curse on those who spoke, understand?" Hermione asked.

The Slytherins smirked as the Gryffindors nodded.

The lesson continued.
