Hermione heard an almost inaudible gasp somewhere in the crowd of death
eaters and she snapped her head over to look in that direction, only to
literally look right through the death eaters mask right onto the face
of.Severus Snape.
Why is he here? Hermione thought to herself. Oh yes, Harry had said that he was a death eater. It wasn't her place to question his motives for being here, well it was, but she wouldn't, not now anyway, not in front of Tom.
She turned her head to the side and her gaze refocused on a figure slightly behind the inner circle. Not in the second circle, but neither in the first. Hermione one again, somehow looked through the mask that was instead of white like the others, a dark brown, almost black. When she looked upon the face in this mask, she saw none other than Draco Malfoy.
What is he doing here? He couldn't be a death eater yet could he? No, she was sure he couldn't, they weren't initiated until one turned 18, for if one was any younger, the dark mark could prove to be fatal.
So then why was he here? Hmmm.she would find out later.
Hermione focused her attention on Voldemort once again only to see him looking quite closely at her.
"How old are you, girl?" He said, not as rudely as he could have.
"Old enough." Hermione replied. Something was odd in the way Voldemort was looking at her. It could almost be described as innocence, no that's not right, someone who has committed so many cold hearted sins could not look so innocent.
From behind her, Hermione or Rione, as she was known here, heard a distinct sound of feet before she was grabbed from behind, both hands pulled behind her back. This wasn't too good. As powerful as Hermione knew herself to be, she wasn't very physically strong.
After Hermione was left immobile, six more death eaters surrounded her. Hermione just continued to blink stupidly as the six death eaters begun to crack their knuckles and advance upon her.
Quite suddenly there was another Hermione, but his one was standing in the center, totally free to move and unharmed.
"Are you sure you have the right one?" It said. Then the Hermione that was captured suddenly disappeared and reappeared next to that one. "So pick because you only have one choice." Said the original one.
The guy closest to Hermione, Lucius Malfoy she was sure, as a lock of Silvery blond hair showed, pointed his wand towards the original Hermione and yelled "Avara kadavra!"
The spell shot a green lightning typed power towards Hermione and hit her straight in the chest, but as soon as the whole spell made contact with her, that Hermione along with the spell disappeared leaving behind just white shimmering magic. It immediately sent itself towards the six men, who upon contact, all fell over fast asleep.
A loud clapping then met Rione's ears. She turned to see Voldemort clapping and grinning widely.
"Well done Rione. I must say that that was quite a trick. You are welcome here with us at any time."
"Hmm.if I may ask, why do a few of them," Rione gestured to the death eaters "have different colored masks?"
Voldemort replied immediately. "Ah, well they are not death eaters, just here to see what happens, which is why everyone here has their faces covered, so identities cannot go out to those who are not one of us. You see, every death eater knows one another but those outside of us cannot know."
Yes, that was a smart thing to do, Hermione realized, very smart. If anyone from an outside organization managed to infiltrate the death eater's circle acting as a possible candidate for a death eater, something that probably anyone could do if they set their mind to it, none of the loyal death eaters could be exposed, and most likely none of the plans would be exposed.
And, for those who are not death eaters but want to know what it is about, he gives them the choice to see what it is about and also gives them the choice to back out. It is simply ingenious. When people don't feel like they are pushed into something, they are, in most cases, more willing to do it. It gives the person a sense of power in a way.
It is no wonder why Voldemort has so many more death eaters then Hermione could have ever imagined. This could be quite a movement if they organized themselves correctly, but then again, they could lose a lot if one managed to get inside and relay all the information they managed to gather to a stronger source. Quite possibly and most likely, someone was already inside, which would explain all the failed attacks that she had heard about recently.
Hermione waited until all death eaters and possible candidates left before getting information from Tom. It appeared that there was a.safe house almost, which was off of radar, to which the doors were open to all death eaters at all times, and where all the meetings took place. (The one then was just for show, giving out no useful information but trying to beckon in others. Tom was even smarter for doing that.)
She would be seeing that meeting place some time in the near future, that was for sure.
After waiting for Voldemort to disapperate, most likely to this so called safe house, Hermione apperated to her own house and went about her own business. She was going to take a more active role in her own group.
Hermione would be Destiny.
Hermione would be Rione.

Yay, I got this chapter up in record braking time for a chapter that I had to begin from scratch with no idea of what was going to happen. I guess it didn't take the week that I had planned.
Alright, If you notice the constant switch between Voldemort and Tom, there is a purpose. It signifies the constant battle inside Hermione Twightlight, a battle between Hermione Granger and Rione of Destiny.
I have also decided that by popular demand, I will continue with what I had originally planned and make It a Severus / Hermione Romance with Draco Malfoy as her cousin, with which she will develop a friendship.
Thank you to all my reviewers, I have reached the record high of 18 reviews for one chapter, that is a lot for me.
Iden's Garden ~ It will be Severus / Hermione, and I'm glad you like evil Hermione.
jedi_jenny ~ And your vote will be used. I didn't mean to leave a cliff hanger, I don't really like them that much, only one in a while, but I didn't know which way to go with the story.
Passions Prince ~ I appreatiate you telling me what you think, but unfortunately, everyone else wanted it to be SS/HG. I hope you keep reading anyways.
Delphi ~ As I have said many times before to everyone else, your vote lost out. And I am keeping her in character. As you'll notice, even at this early stage, Hermione Granger and Rione of Destiny are already in conflict, even in small things. Eventually it will get more noticeable. And Sorry for the bad spelling, I gave the past few chapters to my friend to type up and obviously she doesn't know the meaning of spell check.
Aurinia ~ Alright, I really do appreatiate your review, it helped me to consider a few things. You are probably one of the few people that understand the meaning of constructive criticism. Hermione is still pretty young, 17, and that can help to explain the constant conflicts within herself, as she is in that stage of life where she is trying to discover who she really is. She is already part of the 13th generation of Destiny whether she likes it or not, but the evil part of her is not definite. I'm glad that you already caught some of her inner conflicts. As I said to delphi (above) I had given this to one of my friends to type out, as my computer was messed up, and she doesn't know how to use a spell checker. I'm back now so there shouldn't be any more spelling mistakes, and if there are, they will be considerably less obvious. Thanks for your well thought out review.
y ~ okay
Nadeshiko Amamiya ~ I will at some point tell what happened with the sorting hat and if you want to know my excuse for spelling mistakes look at the review response from the reviewer two up form you (Aurinia) If not then don't.
Minako233 ~ I wrote more. Umm.thanks for reviewing.
Sihaya ~ Alright
Marie ~ I found my inspiration.
Ankle ~ I'm glad, cause I do too
Agentx05 ~ Thanks
Buffy Prinze ~ Yuppers, Hermione does need some back bone
Hudine ~ I wouldn't want to lose a reviewer. It will be Hermione / Severus so don't go running off.
Jessie Wagers (Harmony_2244@yahoo.com) ~ Sorry for confusing you
Dorkyjess ~ I love you! Thanks for the compliment, call me and give me some more as soon as possible
Thanks to all my reviewers.
