Hermione Granger.SLYTHERIN?! Chapter 9: Hermione and the Dark Mark

After the little incident in Potions, the Gryffindors were far too scared to try and cross their former comrade again. Hermione was more than just evil now; she was flat out powerful and it was smart to stay on her good side. Then again, no Gryffindor, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff was EVER on her good side anymore. It was a week before Christmas break and Hermione was thrilled. She was staying with the Malfoys, at Lucius Malfoy's insistence of course.

" Father's so happy." Draco said to Hermione that morning. " He can't believe that the Dark Lord's daughter will be staying with us; according to Mother, he's gone mad trying to make it perfect for you. Doesn't want to upset the Dark Lord, you know."

"I'm so glad you invited me, Draco." Hermione said as Millicent Bulstrode passed her some trifle. "This should be fun."

"Of course!" Draco cried. "By the way, have you heard from your Father?"

"Yes, and he's quite pleased that your Father invited me in the first place. " Hermione whispered. " He said 'That Lucius is such a loyal servant and now he's taking you into his home. I shall reward him and his son very nicely.'"

"That should please father." Draco said and Hermione giggled.

"By the way Hermione, " Pansy said, "I hear that you were going to play a trick on the whole school on the final day of the term. What do you have planned for that day?"

Hermione grinned, but all she said was, "You'll see."



At dinner on the last day of the term, the Slytherins were shocked to see that Hermione wasn't present. Hermione was actually outside the Great Hall, waiting for just the right moment to Strike.

When that moment arrived, Hermione pointed her wand up into the sky and whispered, "Morsmordre!"

There was an explosion as the Dark Mark, the mark of her family, appeared in the sky. Quickly, Hermione dashed inside so that she would not be suspected of conjuring up the Dark Mark.

It was total chaos inside as people tried to get out of the Great Hall. Hermione gave the Slytherins a signal and the scurried off to their dungeon common room.

"Hermione, did you do that?' Draco asked

"Yes, I did." Hermione whispered. "And not a word to anyone else."

" I don't believe it!" Diana cried. "You conjured up the Dark Mark!"

"All hail Hermione Riddle, the Heiress of Slytherin!" Someone yelled as the Slytherins cheered.

All Hermione said was, "Father would be proud."

The next day, Hermione and Draco were on the Hogwarts Express, heading home for the Holidays. Since they slept most of the way back, the trip seemed to last only a short time. The before they knew it, Hermione was meeting Lucius Malfoy for the third time.
