Chapter 3

After putting everything away, Hermione went to take a bath. She got in and turned on the taps that said 'meadows.' Giant flower shaped bubbles came pouring out of the tap. The air was soon heavily perfumed with the sent of wild flowers and grass. When the bath was filled, she slipped into the warm water. She closed her eyes and started to relax.

About an hour later she awoke to the sound of running water. She looked around the room looking for the source. She then saw Draco standing at the sink, brushing his teeth. "Why didn't you knock?" Hermione asked. "I did for about 20 minutes but you didn't answer. So I assumed that you were asleep. That, and my door was unlocked." "Oh," Hermione replied. "Oh and I didn't look at you if that's what you're worried about." "That's good." "Night." "Night Draco."

After he left she got out of the bath and brushed her teeth. Then she crawled in between her new green and silver silk sheets. Just before she fell asleep, she saw a face but couldn't figure out who it was, or why it looked familiar.

Hermione woke up in the early hours of the morning to someone shaking her. "What? Who's there?" "It's me, I couldn't sleep, you were screaming too loudly!" "Oh…hey how did you get in here? I locked my door." "Did you lock all the doors?" "Yes, the bathroom door and the door from the common room!" "What about the connecting doors?" he continued. "Oh I forgot that door!" "Well that's how I got in. What were you dreaming about?" "Nothing, but thanks for waking me up! You can go now!" "Ok, Good Night!"

*~*Hermione's P.O.V.*~*

I was running through a dark forest. I wanted to stop but something made me keep going. It was then that I came to a clearing. The moon shone down upon the scene that lay before my eyes. There were ten maybe fifteen masked people who were standing in a circle around a bubbling cauldron. Standing in the middle of the circle was a man. In the moonlight sent a gleam off the man's head. It was silvery. I assumed that that must have been the man's hair colour. I then caught myself wondering why it seemed so familiar.

"My faithful friends and allies! We are gathered here today to celebrate the rise of the newest dark lord!" the man had drawled. 'Oh my God!' thought Hermione, I know that voice, it can be no one else than Lucius Malfoy! "I would like to introduce to you all the last descendant of our Lord." Lucius continued "She is the best witch in her year at Hogwarts school of Witch craft and Wizardry. I would like to introduce to you all Hermione Riddle." There was a bit of clapping heard in the clearing when I finally noticed that I was now in the centre of the circle, and how I had gotten there. Behind was another of the masked men who had my wrists and ankles bound. I also noticed that I was hovering a couple of inches in the air.

Lucius waited until the man put me down and then undid the ropes that bound me. I just stood there, knowing that any attempts at escaping would prove quite futile. Then Lucius showed me how to perform the three unforgivable curses. A man then stepped forward and asked me to practice on him. I refused but was then put under the imperious curse and was forced to use the Crutacious curse on him. My curse was weak however and didn't effect him much, but I was forced to continue until it was quite strong and made the man scream out in terrible agony. Then Lucius walked over to me and asked me if I wanted the dark mark engraved in me or if I wanted an other alternative. Seeing as I was still in school. I chose the later, which turned out to be a beautiful diamond and emerald snake shaped necklace. In a few minutes the other death eater went to leave and when it was just Lucius and me he turned to me. " As a death eater you are not to show any emotion when here, if you do, you will be punished. I am sorry to have to do this Lord, but I have to punish you for your temporary moment of weakness. I do hope you understand that this will just make you stronger in time… Crucio!"

The pain was unbearable, it felt as if hot irons were pressed against every part of me. I tried not to scream, knowing that if I did it would just go on longer but I finally did. Lucius just looked at me and held the curse. I then fell unconscious. Or so I thought because moment later I felt someone gently shaking me and calling my name. Though it was very distant. "What! Who's there." I called. "It's me" replied Draco. At this I visibly relaxed knowing somehow that he wasn't going to hurt me. " I couldn't sleep, you were screaming too loudly." he continued. "Oh…Hey! How did you get in here? I looked my doors!" "Did you lock all your doors? He asked. "Yes, the bathroom door and the common room door!" I responded getting irritated. "What about the connecting door?" He asked "Oh… I forgot about that door." At this I looked crestfallen. I couldn't believe it. I had to live in the same place as Draco, and yet I still managed to forget a key element…. Like locking the door that connects our rooms! After a few more moment of conversation, he left through the door he had come through. Which I immediately got up and locked. I then went to the bathroom the wash the sweat from my face.

When I got there and looked at my reflection, something caught my eye. Something that shouldn't have been there. No, this couldn't be!!! The person looking back at me through the mirror was wearing a diamond and emerald snake shaped necklace…………
