DanishGirl- Thanks (.

Broken Wings- I am trying to go for longer but am having a bit of trouble not leaving it in cliffhangers al the time. And I know that they are out of character, hell, everyone is out of character. But your right, it is based on evil Hermione. Thank you for reviewing.

Chapter. 5 Running Blood

Hermione was standing over Harry with Sirius Black by her side and Lucius Malfoy standing by the fireplace smirking. Harry was strapped to a table and Sirius was holding his wand in his hand. . There was blood running all over Harry's body. Sirius had a crazed look on his face and was staring at the blood dripping off of Harry's pale figure.

"Nikniveia!" Sirius screamed and small sharp knives flew out of wand and started to cut Harry's skin on the surface. Slowly. Painfully. Harry screamed.

Hermione smiled evilly and glanced at Lucius who was now sitting in a large chair with his leg thrown over one of the arms. He smirked at her. She smirked back before turning to look at Harry and Sirius.

Sirius laughed at Harry's painful cries. He leaned his head to one side and frowned at Harry.

"Thought I was rescuing you, eh Harry?" Sirius started to walk around Harry to his side.

He then bent over by Harry's ear and whispered, "You were wrong." He smiled and reached out and broke Harry's neck with a quick flip of his wrist.


Hermione woke with the snap of Harry's neck echoing in her mind. She looked around and was confused as to where she was at first. But quickly remembered, she reached up and held her head in her hand. She had a headache from the dream. And what a strange dream it had been. Sirius alive, Harry dieing and her and Lucius flirting in the midst of it all, and where was Ron anyway?

Uhhh. She needed to eat something; she hadn't had any supper or dinner yesterday. She pushed the comforter and silk sheets off of her sweating body. She took off the pajamas and walked into the bathroom and took a quick cold shower to cool herself off. She then dressed in white silk robes that fit her like a dress but were comfortable. She got her wand off of her nightstand and headed out of her rooms. She shut the door and then turned to head in the direction of the dining room, but ran into none other then Lucius Malfoy himself.

She hit his hard chest and fell to the floor.

"Ow!" She yelped as she hit the floor on her already sore bottom.

Lucius chuckled and smirked at her, "It seems that you have "accidentally" run into me." He squatted down beside her on the floor and scooped her up in his arms.

"I suppose you would like something to eat, as you didn't have anything yesterday." He raised an eyebrow, "You aren't tying to starve yourself are you?" He said and glanced down at her, she was leaning against his chest and smiling to herself. He had the distinct feeling that she wasn't trying to starve herself.

He chuckled again and went down the stairs to the breakfast room and sat her down in a chair. He then called the house elves to serve breakfast.

Later on that day Hermione made her way to the library. She found several curse books.

"Let's see what I have here," Hermione muttered to no one in particular.

Curses of The Nile

"Bill would like that." She smiled at that thought. She had always gotten on well with the Weasleys, but she doubted if they would even talk to her since she called Ron, Harry's dog.

A Guide To Catastrophic Curses

"Hhhmmm, not going for a catastrophe. Just some sort of pain inflicting spells or curse. Something that would be like the Cruciatus Curse but you could see what was causing the pain. Something like in that dream I had." Hermione got a thoughtful look on her face.

She went through several more books before finding one that looked promising.

Pain Causing Spell and Curses

Hermione opened the large old book and flipped through it for an hour or so until she found the spell she was looking for.

"Nikniveia", a spell used before the Cruciatus Curse was found, The Nikniveia Curse was said to shoot knives out of the casters wand and score the skin of the person of there choosing. The Nikniveia Curse was used as a torturing spell in Medieval Times. The curse has not been in circulation since these times as it takes a strong witch or wizard to cast it.

This curse never came into knowing in The Ministry of Magic and is therefore not a Forbidden Curse, but a Forgotten one. The curse's last known user was Salazar Slytherin himself. Soon after this time the Three Forbidden Curses were discovered and used as a faster means of dealing with opposing wizards. These three curses were all based upon three older curses.

Imperius Curse-Reticenceio Curse

Cruciatus Curse-Nikniveia Curse

Avada Kedavra Curse-Quietus Contiguous Curse


These three being the Forgotten Curses, for more information see books by same author...

Hermione summoned a piece of parchment and wrote everything on the page down. She then decided it was quite time that she find something to do except read. Perhaps she would find something to practice her curse's on. And perhaps she could find Lucius.
