Chapter 7: Meeting He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named

Now With Hermione

"Don't let Harry come," Hermione said to Nicollette as she passed with death eaters holding her arms tightly. When they were out of Nicollette's view, Bella took out a parchment and tapped it with her wand while saying, "Portus." Bella thrust the parchment into Hermione's hand and instructed the others to touch it.

Hermione felt a swirling sensation in her stomach, a slight pull, and they were on their way to a place Hermione didn't know.

They landed on the wood floor of a room that Hermione instantly recognized as the room she, Ron, and Harry met Sirius in. It was the Shrieking Shack!

A man sat in a chair in the middle of the room; Hermione hoped it wasn't who she thought it was. There were Death Eaters all around, were ever she looked she saw a hooded figure.

"Hello, Granger," said a cold voice that sent a shiver down Hermione's back. It was Voldomort. "I have already sent a letter to Potter, so I think he'll be here shortly, and while he's here I'll be generous enough to let you see him die." Laughed his cold voice. "Now, what would you like to do as we wait? Would you like to feel what Harry feels every time we meet?" asked Voldomort. "You never touched him he only said you guys dueled, not that you hurt him at all." Said Hermione. "Oh, I see, he never told you about me using the Cirtius course on him repeatedly, he's so arrogant he probably thought it didn't matter!" laughed Voldomort.

"Crucio," yelled Voldomort, raising his wand. Hermione Shrieked as the course hit her in the chest. Her whole body was hurt as though there were needles going through her. Her legs gave way and she had no way of screaming now, because her voice seemed to have left her.

Finally Voldomort lifted the course and laughed as Hermione panted on the floor. Harry went through this over and over again? Thought Hermione. That's horrible!

"Master!!! Master!!! He's here!" yelled a death eater who had just ran through the door.
