Hermione trudged through the snow-covered streets quietly. She felt totally disgusted with herself. Why? Why did she make that deal with Lucius? She knew that he was never ever in a million years going to keep his end.
Hermione desperately wanted to run and get help from somebody. But for some odd reason she couldn't. She knew the police were still searching and that no one would believe her anyway. However it almost seemed that the Dark Mark on her arm was holding her back from finding any sort of assistance.
"Damn it. " Hermione muttered under her breath, "Why did I make this deal? Why?"
~*~*~*~
Draco was leaning against the cold stonewall, and watched the Death Eaters chat amongst each other. They were such cold and evil people. Draco lowered his eyes to the dirty floor and began to think desperately about the situation at hand. He had concern for Hermione. Something just did not seem right. No. That was an understatement. Something definitely was not right. Lucius would not make a deal like that unless he knew he would be the one to benefit from it.
Draco looked up at the poor young people chained to the cold stone. Draco slowly walked over to them. He never thought in his wildest dreams that he would feel sorry for Ron, Harry, and Ginny. They were Gryffindors after all. Then again, he never knew that he would fall in love with Hermione either.
Draco stared up at the group. He whispered, "Are you guys alright? Wake up. One of you please wake up."
Lucius turned from the group of Death Eaters and rolled his eyes. Draco rolled his eyes back at him, and Draco looked at Blaise. He began to wonder. "Father, who was Erik Zabini?"
Draco braced himself for an outburst, but Lucius answered, "A Death Eater who was killed a few years ago."
Draco nodded, and stared at the other Death Eaters. "Why was he killed?"
Pettigrew glared, "Shut up will you."
Lucius laughed a cold laugh, and snared, "Peter please. My son has a right to know, I suppose."
Lucius walked up to where Blaise was hanging on the wall. He looked at her with extreme dislike. "Erik was Blaise's older brother. He was supposed to be a loyal Death Eater. He became the youngest ever Death Eater. He was fourteen years old. Well, later on he fell in love with a mudblood, and wanted to forget his old Death Eater ways. He thought he could just change his mind like that. The Dark Lord was not happy."
Draco sighed, and Lucius laughed coldly, "Does it sound familiar Draco?"
~*~*~*~
Hermione slowly opened the door that lead in Madame Nyssa's chamber. It was not as dark as it was before. Hermione slowly walked around, and glared at the monkey skull that was still sitting there.
"Damn that is one creepy piece of-" Hermione began, but then she suddenly stopped. Hermione heard crying. It was soft gentle crying. Crying that reminded Hermione so much of Jewel.
Hermione followed the crying that was coming from within Madame Nyssa's inner chamber. Hermione slowly entered, and when she did, she was shocked at what she saw before her.
~*~*~*~
"Won't you let Harry down?" Pettigrew pleaded, "I want to kick his face in."
The Death Eaters all laughed, and Mrs. Lestrange chuckled, "We would all love to kick his face in after what he did to the Dark Lord."
Draco glared and thought ~ Piss off. I would prefer to kick your face in. ~
The Death Eater from the library sighed, and walked down the dark spooky hall, which Draco and Hermione entered this place from. Macnair smiled happily, "I am so glad she is willing to take Blaise's place. I am so happy with my daughter."
Draco snorted, "Your daughter?"
Macnair glared, and Lucius said lazily, "Draco, it does seem that you have forgotten your manners."
Avery sighed, "Lucius you ought to teach your son how to respect his elders."
Lucius smirked and twirled his wand, "There is no need to worry. I will teach him very good manners."
~*~*~*~
Hermione felt her heart pounded. Madame Nyssa's chamber was totally lit up, and the lights were very bright. Madame Nyssa was sitting on the floor, and bawling her eyes out. She seemed so weak, and vulnerable.
Hermione felt very odd, but she asked as politely as she could, "Excuse me, are you okay?"
Madame Nyssa looked up. Hermione gasped with shock and total surprise. Madame Nyssa was not really a fortuneteller or Seer. Crying before Hermione was Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mother.
"N-N-Narcissa?" Hermione croaked, "I thought you were dead. Lucius said you hanged yourself."
Narcissa looked up in surprise, and she wiped her tears away. "Dead? Me?" Narcissa whispered through her tears, "I am afraid I do not know what you are talking about, my dear."
Hermione shook her head. She was being very rude. Instead of questioning further about the letter Draco received way back in September, Hermione whispered, "Why are crying? You were Madame Nyssa weren't you?"
Narcissa sighed and stood up. "I am Madame Nyssa. That's my 'name' that Lucius gave to me while we were here in France. He says that I have to be on the constant look out for Aurors and he gave me a title as a Seer, which in fact I am"
Hermione cried, "Why didn't you say anything to Draco when we came in earlier!"
"I-I-I just couldn't I-" Narcissa whimpered.
Then she cried again. She was positively bawling her eyes out. Hermione bit her lip, and stuttered, "Okay. Okay. You couldn't say it was you. I understand."
Narcissa sighed, "I am sorry. You were the girl who was with my son? Who are you?"
"I am Hermione Granger"
Narcissa sighed, "You are in for a rough ride my dear. Lucius is not at all happy with you dating my son."
"Well, can you try talking to him?" Hermione said weakly.
Narcissa smiled, "I am afraid I cannot be of much help. Lucius is not a very good listener. He is a little hotheaded."
"A little hotheaded?" Hermione spat angrily, "How can you say that? He murdered your daughter Narcissa!"
Narcissa's blue eyes filled with tears, "I know he killed Jewel. And I really was not sure how to approach him on that. He is my husband and I-"
"NARCISSA!" Hermione shouted, "She was your own flesh and blood, and your darling husband stabbed and killed her!"
Narcissa glared back at Hermione, "I KNOW that! I am not sure how to approach him that's all. I hate him for killing her, but he says it was for all of our own good!"
Hermione sighed and stared at the woman in front of her. She seemed to refuse to accept the fact that Lucius murdered Jewel. It was almost as though Narcissa thought Jewel was still running around alive.
Hermione bit her lip, and figured that maybe Narcissa went over the edge ever since Jewel was murdered. Maybe that was it. She was unstable or something. Hermione sighed, and decided that she had to get down to business. "Where are the Aurors? Lucius would like to know."
Narcissa shut her eyes tightly, and thought carefully. Hermione stared at the fragile figure of Narcissa. What kind of person was this who would not accept the fact of Jewel's murder? How could she?
Narcissa suddenly mumbled, "They are hiding out with a small French family that lives on twenty-three Plage Lane. They have one son who I think you know. Jacques Gamsire?"
"Jacques?" Hermione whispered, "Yes I know him."
Narcissa nodded, "Very well. Is this all of the information that you pry me for, young lady?"
Hermione shook her head, and thought carefully. Maybe Narcissa was familiar with the Dark Mark on her arm. Hermione smiled as friendly as she could. "I was wondering, do you know much about Dark Drugs?"
"Dark Drugs!" Narcissa gasped, "Now why on earth would a girl like you want to know about Dark Drugs!"
"Just curious!" Hermione cried defensively.
Narcissa sighed, "To tell you the truth my dear, Lucius helped create Dark Drugs with a good friend of his. Severus Snape."
"Snape was friends with Lucius!" Hermione cried.
"Yes." Narcissa whispered, "Lucius was a few years older then Severus. He was in fifth year, when Snape was in his third year."
"I see." Hermione moaned, "Can you tell me about Dark Drugs, and how they made them! Wouldn't it be very advanced?"
"Severus was always clever, and so was Lucius." Narcissa said, "They would have made great Ravenclaws."
Hermione rolled her eyes, and said, "Would you mind telling me about them?"
Narcissa shrugged, "Very well. If you need to know."
~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~
Lucius was walking down the hallway slowly. He could not believe he met that Tom Riddle the other week. He had read a lot about him, and supposedly Tom graduted before he was born. It was very odd.
Lucius continued walking, and ignored the sniggers of the "Gryffindor Groupie Third Years: James Potter, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew" What good did they do other then annoy the hell out of Slytherins. "LUCIUS! Hey Lucius! Wait up!"
Lucius turned around, and saw Nilam running toward him. ~ Oh great. My dream come true. ~ he thought.
"What is it Nilam? You are wasting my time by just being here." Lucius snapped.
"Listen, Lucius." Nilam started, "I have been hearing that you have been up to trouble lately. If I hear one more dirty rumor about you, I am going to report it. I am fed up with your attitude young man."
"What are you? My mother?" Lucius growled as several first years nearby laughed.
Nilam flushed and glared a dark glare. Lucius was trying hard not to feel intimidated by Nilam. Nilam was very frightening when he got really mad, and Lucius did not want to deal with his fury in the middle of the busy hallway.
"Lucius?" another voice said.
Lucius turned away from Nilam, and said in impatience, "What!"
Severus smiled, "Hey. How are you? AH! Hi, Nilam."
Severus forced a smile at Nilam. Nilam however continued to glare. "You two are up to no good. I can tell."
~ Up yours ~ Lucius thought angrily.
Nilam shook his head, "You two had better be on your best behavior. Or I swear I will write to mum Lucius. And you know she does not take it well when you misbehave."
Lucius did not reply. It was better to keep your mouth shut in moments like this. Severus nudged Lucius and the two Slytherins walked in the opposite direction away from Nilam.
"Man! He scares me!" Severus muttered, "How do you put up with it?"
"I don't know to tell you the truth." Lucius mumbled, "He scares me too sometimes. I mean he just so-"
"Hey Snape! Malfoy!"
"Oh shit." Severus muttered, "Here they come!"
Lucius and Severus turned around and saw their "favorite Gryffindor Groupies" Lucius scowled, "What do you want?"
"Hey! I heard you saw a 'vision' of a past student Malfoy!" Sirius shouted, "Is it true?"
Severus muttered, "Ignore him. Ignore him."
Remus giggled, "Hey Severus? Wash your hair recently?"
Lucius snarled, "Shut up, Remus!"
Severus shrugged and just gave the group a death glare. He turned to Lucius, "Lets just go."
"I advise you stay away from Lily, Severus! She is quite disgusted at your crush on her." James shouted after them.
"You have a crush on Lily?" Lucius couldn't help but smile.
Severus turned red, "Shut up!"
The two continued walking until they reached the library. It was awfully quiet in the library. Nobody was ever there, except for Narcissa. She was always involved with her studies. Narcissa looked up from the book she was reading, "Hey Luc! Hey Sev! How are you guys?"
Lucius shrugged, "Okay I guess. I already got told off by Nilam, and by the 'groupies' But then again, there is one day that doesn't go by when I don't get told off by them."
"I see." Narcissa muttered.
Severus grinned, "Wouldn't it be funny if we played a joke on them?"
"YEAH!" Lucius cried.
Narcissa glared, "Guys, that's not funny. Lucius I don't think you could afford to get into anymore trouble with your brother."
"Who cares about him?" Lucius snapped.
Severus began to pace, "Oh! OH! How about we put something in their food to make then go nuts at the Thanksgiving Feast coming up. Could you imagine that?"
Lucius snickered, "How do you suppose you are going to do that?"
"Well, I am very good with Potions and Dark Arts and stuff. I bet I could whip something up really fast! All we need are basic ingredients. But most of them are in the professor's office."
"I'll steal them!" Lucius offered.
"LUC!" Narcissa gasped.
"Come on! It's just a little fun and you can go with me! What do you say? Please Narcissa! It could be like our first date!" Lucius said boldly.
Severus snickered, "First date stealing Potion Ingredients from Professor Rosemary. How romance, Luc!"
Narcissa and Lucius both laughed at this. Narcissa shrugged, "Okay. I will go with you, but we better not get caught."
"We won't." Lucius promised, "I am a pro at this!"
"And that's the reason Nilam caught you red-handed making out with Arabella Figg in an empty classroom last year, Luc." Severus laughed.
Lucius blushed, and Narcissa chuckled, "You hooked up with Arabella last year, Luc? Isn't she a 'Gryffindor'?"
"Damn you, Sev! Can't you keep that stuff to yourself!" Lucius retorted.
"I don't know. Can't I?" Severus replied with a smirk on his face.
The three continued to chat, and their conversation slowly changed to Dark Drugs and how they were going to make them. They sat there just joking around, but someone was watching them carefully.
Tom Riddle smirked. He looked his special dark magic abilities to see anyone he wanted anytime he wished. Tom Riddle was far away from Hogwarts, but he had to ability to see people no matter where they were. He knew the Slytherins were just joking about the Dark Drugs, but what if he could force them to create him.
Tom was ready to rise above all of those he considered weak, and Dark Drugs may be the perfect way to recruit followers. The only way.
~*~*~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~*~*~
"Narcissa." Hermione muttered, "How did you know Tom was watching you at the time?"
Narcissa twirled her blonde hair, "I found out of Lucius's and Severus Death Eater Initiation. Lord Voldemort told them everything. And they were pleased. Pleased."
Hermione was silent. Narcissa patted on the back, "Hermione, Voldemort seeks all of those he considers worthy of his Death Eater army. And the Dark Drugs help him with his army. Anyone who takes Dark Drugs loses their sense of reality, and all common sense. They become crazy my dear. Crazy."
"So," Hermione said slowly, "They all have Dark Drugs in there blood. Your husband. The Lestranges. Pettigrew. Everyone else took those Drugs at one point or another to become Death Eaters."
"Yes." Narcissa whispered.
"Then how come Snape is not a Death Eater anymore?" Hermione asked.
"He **fought** it, Hermione. Severus fought the Drugs. If you are of strong character, you can fight it off."
Hermione felt the tears in her eyes. "T-Then" Hermione muttered looking at the Dark Mark on her arm, "I am turning into a Death Eater."
~*~*~*~
Draco was growing worried for his Hermione. Shouldn't she be back by now? What was going on? He could not take it!
"I HAVE TO LOOK FOR HER!" Draco shouted.
It became deadly silent. The Death Eaters looked at one another. Avery sneered, "You are not going anywhere boy!"
Draco shook his head. He was not going to be confined here any longer. He had to do something, anything to make their dire situation a little bit better. "I am leaving!" Draco snarled back at Avery.
He was heading out, but Lucius grabbed his arm, "And where exactly are you going to go?"
"Anywhere! To get help!" Draco replied as bravely as he could.
"Are you now?" Lucius said his voice filled with amusement, "Well then. I have a present and it might make you stay."
Then a voice was heard, "Hello Draco. My darling brother."
It was a voice Draco swore he would never hear again. It was her voice. The voice of an angel. The voice of Jewel Malfoy.
WHATS GOING ON? You may be asking yourself that. You will see soon enough! Ja ne!

It became deadly silent. The Death Eaters looked at one another. Avery sneered, "You are not going anywhere boy!"
Draco shook his head. He was not going to be confined here any longer. He had to do something, anything to make their dire situation a little bit better. "I am leaving!" Draco snarled back at Avery.
He was heading out, but Lucius grabbed his arm, "And where exactly are you going to go?"
"Anywhere! To get help!" Draco replied as bravely as he could.
"Are you now?" Lucius said his voice filled with amusement, "Well then. I have a present and it might make you stay."
Then a voice was heard, "Hello Draco. My darling brother."
It was a voice Draco swore he would never hear again. It was her voice. The voice of an angel. The voice of Jewel Malfoy.
WHATS GOING ON? You may be asking yourself that. You will see soon enough! Ja ne!
