Made Up My Mind
I have made up my mind. I will go along with the plan, even though I'm not sure if it will work or not...
I don't need Ron and Harry to help me. They can be ignorant jerks for all I care. I don't care that they don't care...
Maybe I'm being the ignorant jerk? I didn't give them a chance? No... they didn't understand me. They just made me feel even worse than I already do. They're the ignorant jerks... not me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked down the dungeon halls, feeling more and more nervous with each step. I trembled slightly as a listened to my steps echo in the empty corridors. I felt empty too... I was empty. Without Ron and Harry, it seems, I can't do this. I still can turn back. Now. Leave the school forever. I know enough to live on my own.
I stopped in the hall, looked back and hestitated. I could go back. I could run. It seems like such a good plan...
I shook my head and kept walking, trying to keep the idea of fleeing out of my head. This was going to work... it had to work...
I arrived at the dungeon door. I was surprised to arrive so quickly, caught up in my thoughts and such. Full of anxiety, fear and nervousness, I knocked on the door and waited.
It opened slowly and I saw Severus look out from behind the door. He smiled lightly and I smiled back, forcefully. He opened the door fully and I stepped in, blinded for a second by the sudden light that filled the room. I looked around and saw the room lit by what seemed a thousand candles.
As I looked around the room more, I noticed that the windows had been boarded off anf all the tables and chairs were gone. Chains and hackles I had never noticed before were bolted to the wall on my right. A table of bottles of what seemed potions sat to my left. I looked at the potions for awhile, noticing that they were all different colours, textures and in different shaped bottles. A milky-white liquid floated in an oval shaped bottle, but it didn't seems liquid. It went from liquid, to gas to solid and then back to liquid. Another was acid green, in a square bottle and it seemed like a gas. I walked over to the table, reaching out for the bottle...
The candles flickered and I turned around quickly. No one was there. I looked around everywhere, searching into the dark corners and in high places, but nothing seemed to be there. Then I noticed that Severus wasn't there.
'Severus?' I called out.
No answer. The room stayed silent and still.
'Severus?' I called again. My lip trembled when there was still silence surronding me.
'You look beautiful when your scared.' said a cold voice from behind me.
I spun around and saw a shadow from behind the table. My breath caught in my throat.
'Who is it?' I choked out.
A heard a rustling of robes and a flicker of blonde hair from the corner not to far from the table.
'Draco...' I breathed.
I stepped out to run for him, but I was pulled back. An arm wrapped around the waist and another across my chest. I looked up and saw Severus looking straight ahead, a blank look on his face.
'You betrayed me?' I cried loudly. 'You lousy, filthy, good for nothing traitor!' I screamed.
I heard a cold laugh from behind me. I twisted and turned, trying to see Draco... to strangle him... watch him die a painful death...
'Draco!' I screamed. 'Draco, come and face me, you greasy, filthy Slytherin!'
'My, my Hermione... you never acted like this before.' said Draco in a fake sad voice.
He appeared in front of me suddenly. I glared at him with all my hate and anger that was now building up in me. I wanted to hit him... hurt him... make him scream in pain like he made me. He grinned his sly grin at me and grabbed my chin. I spat at him and it hit him in the face.
'That was before I knew you were a jackass.' I snarled.
Draco grinned lazily at me. He wiped his face off with the edge of his cloak. He looked at me lazily.
'You don't have to be hateful to me, Hermione. Remember, I gave you everything you ever wanted. Money, new robes, jewels... and other things.' Draco added quietly. He stepped towards me and kissed me softly on the lips. I struggled to try and get him off, but Snape held me back.
'Get off of me, you disease.' I hissed.
'That was harsh, Hermione.' muttered Draco. He backed away and walked over to the table with the potions on it. He picked up a purple one and swirled it around a few times. He looked at for awhile, popped open the top and took a drink from it. He wiped his lips and turned his back on me. 'Hermione...'
'Yes.' I spat angrily.
'I don't know why you said no. Any girl would have taken the chance... say yes, stay with me forever and be on the stronger side. Say no, loose me and die. But you said no and I let you change your mind. I gave you the time and still...' Draco let out a small, cold laugh. 'Well, that will change tonight.'
I looked at Draco confused for a moment. What did he mean? How will it change? I'm not changing my mind... Then it dawned on me. My stomach dropped sickengly.
'DRACO! NO!' I screamed. I started kicking, trying to free my self. Snape tightened his grip on me as a I squirmed in his arms. 'LET ME GO! LET ME GO!'
'Settle, sweetheart. It won't hurt if you just agree with me.' Draco said quietly as he stepped near me.
Tears fell down my face as I looked into his cold eyes. 'Don't hurt me... not again...'
'Sorry, love... Professor, the chains.' ordered Draco. He pointed to the chains and hackles I had noticed earlier. I looked at Draco fearfully as Snape dragged me to the chains.
Snape whispered something that sounded like a spell and lifted from his arms, floated along the wall and Snape said another incantation. My arms floated up and the chains tied around my wrists. Then my legs floated apart and were tied my chains also. I was now suspened by the tight chains that cut into my wrists. I already felt warm blood trickle down my arm.
'You know, Hermione... you are beautiful when you want to be. That's why I picked you. When I saw you in the Head Girls bathroom, I knew you were more than the mud-blood, book worm.' He paced back and forth, below me, holding his chin as though thinking
'You-You saw me?' I sputtered. My stomach clenced even more.
I could see Draco smirked. 'Yes. Anyway, since you were so smart, I thought you were be the perfect addition to the Dark Side. So, I gave you books, robes, jewels, money... anything you wanted, I was at your service. I wanted you, we needed you. I thought you would say yes, I had you in the palm of my hand... I thought I had you under a trance... But you said no. Anger filled me. I was angry my plan hadn't worked, so I beat you. I hoped this would make you change your mind, but still you resisted.' Draco looked up at me, his face blank. 'I gave you chances, privlages... everything and yet you said no. This is your last chance, Hermione. Your last chance to change your mind. You've had long enough to think about it. If you say yes, you have me forever and you come to the Dark Side with me. And if you say no... you die, tonight. What is your decision.'
I looked helplessly at Snape, but he looked away. I didn't look at Draco... I was afraid to look at him. Whatever I say, I will never see my family again. I will never see Hogwarts again. I will be wanted all over the wizarding world. I will be known as a Death-eater. My once called friends will be against me... even Harry and Ron. I will never see Harry and Ron again. Tears fell down my face, and dripped onto the floor below.
I looked at Draco, who stood below, looking very impatiently at me. He looked at Snape, who nodded and took a potion from the table, carried it over to me carefully and opened the bottle.
'What... what is that?' I asked nervously.
Draco didn't say anything as Snape began to drip the potion onto the feet. Instantly a burning sensation ran through my body, followed by stinging and then a feeling of certain death. Snape backed away as I began to scream. The stinging sensation flowed through my veins, slowly and painfully. I felt it go to every inch of my body, as though it knew that I would scream and it took its time to make sure I do...
'Imentio Crascuin. A deadly potion, found in the Restricted Section. Orginally found in a dead man's pocket, not to far from Hogsmeade... or so I've heard.' Draco smirked evilly. I shut my eyes tightly, hoping thr pain would go away. 'It is used for slow and painful deaths. Torture, mainly. You can reverse it. It was banned by the Ministry after a man killed his wife. Nobody knows if he meant to use it on purpose or it was an accident. Personally, I think he meant to use it... Anyway, back to the point. Since you will not answer me, I would think your answer is no. So I just assume...'
'Wait...' I said hoarsly. My body ached. It was hell to even speak but I didn't want to die. 'Let... me... say... my... decision...'
Draco looked at me, his grey, cold eyes gleaming in the candle light, his platinum blonde hair shining in the semi-darkness. He looked at me hopefully as I prepared to say my answer.
