Shades of Gray
AN: Thank you Rebecca, Sila Chan, and C for reviewing my HP Stories fics and helping me decide on a story to start writing. I personally love Shades of Gray the best and I hope you guys will find it interesting if not riveting. I'm sorry if it's a little boring right now. Not much I can really do about that. And if you'd like an imput on what other stories I will be writing please check out HP Stories k? I hope by chapter 3 this story will be much more interesting. Please review, that's all I ask.
From Story: Hermione's POV: Sometimes I wish I was back in Gryffindor, where everything was simple, and everyone was so naïve, but then again, being in Slytherin changed my concept of the world, it's not as black and white as I thought it would be. I thought I would just waltz in there, expose the Slytherins for the slimy wrong doers they are and be known all over the school as the girl who helped destroy Voldermort from the inside. I never thought I'd end up falling in love with the one guy I'm suppose to hate and help destroy, or realize that Slytherins care about each other like a big family. Sometimes I wonder if the truth is harder to hear then to believe a lie your whole life. They say you never know what your missing until it's gone, it was different for me, I knew something about me was missing, that's why I enrolled in YSOP, and when I met Draco, truly met him, not as Malfoy my arch nemesis, or as Draco Malfoy sex god, just Draco, I knew he was the thing I was missing. I don't want to lose him, but I got to face the facts, he's a death eater, my job is to expose him! So. now what?
Chapter 1: The Order of Phoenix
Hermione Granger stared at the letter in her hands in shock, newly 16 she had been chosen for the Young Scholars Order of Phoenix. She read the letter again to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her, but it was all there in McGonagall's neat handwriting.
"Dear Miss Hermione Granger, Your letter to us, grades and schoolwide ranking have proved you are a worthy of joining the Young Scholars Order of Phoenix. The point of YSOP is to train prospective 6th and 7th year for the battle ahead. Voldermort has been slowly regaining his power and the only way to stop him is from the inside. If you are willing to risk everything to destroy him send back a letter telling us you wish to accept our offer and enroll in the more rigorous courses you must take. You will start training July 2nd at Hogwarts. There will be a train at Kings Cross to pick you up.
Apart from the other trainees you will be undergoing a mission almost immediately. Please come to Headmaster Dumbledore's office on the 31 of July to receive your mission information. DO NOT SPEAK A WORD OF YOUR MISSION TO ANYONE, DEAD OR ALIVE.
Professor McGonagall Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
Hermione's hands shook with excitement. Ever since she had read and heard about the Order of Phoenix when she was 11, in Hogwarts a History, she had wanted to join them. When they created one for Hogwarts Students she knew she just had to apply.
Throughout July she trained with the 6 other chosen members, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Jessica Daily (7th year Hufflepuff), Aaron Michaels (7th year Hufflepuff), Cho Chang, and Terry Boot. Soon July was almost over and it was the day she would get her assignment.
Gathering up her courage she knocked on the Headmaster's door. A cheerful voice called for her to enter, stepping inside Dumbledore, Professor Snape, Sirius Black, Professor McGonagall, and a woman she vaguely recognized as Juliet Long (a pureblooded Slytherin)'s mother, were standing around Dumbledore's desk.
"You asked me to come Headmaster?" Hermione said in a faint voice. Dumbledore smiled and nodded.
"Correct Miss. Granger, we have an assignment for you. For this school year you are to pose as a Slytherin, a new student by the name of Charlotte Winters. Mrs. Long has arranged for you to show up as her niece and gift to the Malfoys. In other words you will be posing as Draco's arranged fiancé to find out more information about the Malfoys, we already know Lucius and Draco are active Death Eater but we have almost no evidence to send them to Azkaban. That's where you come in; gain Draco's trust, as Charlotte and everything else should fall into place. Do you accept Miss Granger?" Dumbledore told her. Swallowing the lump that formed in her throat she nodded mutely. Before she knew it she was being whisked away to be papered into a beauty queen.
Hermione stared in shock at the results of the 8hr makeover. Her long bushy hair had been cut to her shoulders and styled in tight bouncy chestnut brown curls with honey brown highlights allover. She was given a sunless tan to make her skin glow like Jennifer Lopez's. Plus with makeup, a soft red gloss on the lips, cinnamon eyes outlined in brown and soft gold eye shadow, curled lashes, and a soft pink glow on the cheeks, she barely recognized herself. Not to mention the loads of new clothes she had been given, tight fitting shirts, and girly skirts, and who could forget her far to many 3" stilettos and boots.
"Well what do you think?" Juliet asked beaming happily. Juliet was a pretty 7th year to be Slytherin who held a mysterious and alluring aura around her with her luscious jet black curls tumbled over her shoulders and down her back, intense green eyes, framed by long naturally curly lashes and black eyeliner along with her glossy crimson lips, that stood out against her light, fair skin.
"It's.wow, I don't even recognize myself." Hermione said breathlessly. Juliet smiled.
"Well that was the point Charlotte, by the way I'm going to start calling you Charlotte from now on, that way I don't slip up when school starts." Juliet said. "Oh ya, this Saturday we are hosting a huge party in your honor and of course presenting you to the Malfoys. Remember, you are the long forgotten beautiful niece who lived in Chicago your whole life, and went to a prestigious boarding/prep school called Caldarium, which is an actual wizardry and witchcraft school in New York. Then your parents died when you were 14 and we took you in but still sent you to Caldarium. And now that you are of age we're marrying you off to the Malfoys as a sort of deal for an alliance with the Malfoys. And since you are engaged to Draco we thought it would be better to send you to Hogwarts with him. That's your basic life story, stick to it."
Charlotte took in a deep breath and nodded mutely, her life as Hermione Granger had ended, and her life as Charlotte Winters, pureblooded fiancé to Draco Malfoy, heir to the Dark Throne had just begun. Everything as she knew it would change
