Chapter 5: The Secrets

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hermione screamed.

Draco sunk lower in his chair. Dumbledore looked down.

Hermione was breathing very heavily as she watched him come closer.

"Its okay, Hermione. I won't hurt you," he said, inching closer. Hermione's eyes were wide with fright as she stared at him. The one person who was said to be the scariest wizard. The meanest wizard. The horrible....Lord Voldemort.

His hand came out from under his cloak and he tried to touch her shoulder, but Hermione jumped up and started backing away, scared to the bone.

Draco sat and watched her as Voldemort still came forward, not noticing Hermione's fright.

Dumbledore stood up. "We should tell her first, before you take her."

Hermione looked over in pure angry and pure fright at Dumbledore. "You're letting him take me....where?" Her eyes had not shrunk. They were actually getting bigger.

Draco had known he was going to take her, and he wouldn't hurt her.

Hermione walked around Voldemort, scared that he would attack her at any moment. She sat back down in her seat as Voldemort went to the wall and leaned back against it.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and started out by saying, "Hermione Riddle. That is your real name. Lord Voldemort is your father." Hermione stared at Dumbledore in shock. 'He-who-must-not-be-named is my FATHER!!!' she thought with fright.

Slowly she turned to look at Voldemort who was still leaning on the wall. He gave her a smile. She smiled the weakest fakest smile she had ever done.

Next she turned to look at Draco. They hadn't really become friends and not really enemies. They didn't really talk much but now she wished they had. Something told her that Draco knew about all this because he wasn't very shocked. She looked back at Dumbledore.

"When you were just a baby, Lord Voldemort took power. He and your mother, Aurora were worried about your safety. They didn't want you to get hurt, so they put you in the muggle world. With the Grangers."

Hermione was still in shock, all of this information still sinking in. She couldn't believe that Dumbledore would do this to her. She...Hermione Riddle...No. That just couldn't be right.

All of a sudden, Dumbledore burst into the room. Hold on, Dumbledore. Dumbledore was behind his desk. There was two Dumbledores. 'Interesting.' Draco thought with a smirk. And then he realized that that Dumbledore wasn't the real Dumbledore at all. It was his dad.

Hermione looked so scared she could die.

Suddenly, Voldemort pulled out his wand and said a curse to the 'real' Dumbledore. He reacted quickly, and pulled out his wand and said a countercurse. Hermione screamed and dashed under her chair, scared that she would get hit. The 'fake' Dumbledore remembered what his master had said earlier...

FLASHBACK

Last night after, he spied on the girl while she was doing her homework Voldemort had said, "If anything goes wrong, just get the girl."

Lucious nodded.

END OF FLASHBACK

The 'fake' Dumbledore made a lunge for Hermione, but Draco pulled out his wand and yelled, "Crucio!" The 'fake' Dumbledore sat back, stunned. Draco ran over to Hermione and grabbed her arm. "Come on!" he yelled. Hermione nodded and they quickly ran past Voldemort and the 'real' Dumbledore.

Lucious Malfoy, who was now returning to his usual self, grabbed his wand and dashed after his son and Hermione.

Draco pulled Hermione down the corridor and was heading to their dormitory, but turned as Draco's father cried, "Crucio!"

Draco fell to the ground, in pure pain. Hermione dropped down besides him. "Draco!" she cried.

Suddenly, Lucious pulled her roughly to her feet, "Come with me," he said, pulling her behind him.

"NO!" Hermione tried to protest but couldn't overcome Lucious's strength.

Instead of taking her back to Dumbledore's office, he took her past the Great Hall and out the front doors. A Firebolt was waiting for them. Lucious mounted, putting Hermione in front of him.

They shot up into the air and vanished into the night sky.
