Chapter 2- a working summer
Hermione's POV
I wonder what hell Frank (A/N:I just made up a name for her dad lol) will put me through this summer. Probably training or something… I don't want to become a death eater though, I mean, there is no point in it. Sure im evil, but im not about to go around under someone's ruling, if im going into that, then I will be the one doing the ruling. Not the following.
Frank called me back downstairs. We were going to go over what I was going to do this summer.
At least I know what to prepare myself for tonight.
"Now you know my dear, when the school year is over, you will start your real Death Eater training. Also you have to start planning your marriage with Blaise." He said as soon as I entered the kitchen.
Mom protested, "Honey, do you really think that Blaise is the right choice, I mean, Hermione is just friends with him, and I don't want to force her into a marriage that she is not going to be happy with. Hermione is a good girl, she can find another pureblood that is good enough for her, she has to be in love Frank."
Thanks mom
"Woman, do you really think that I would do this if I didn't think that was the best for our little girl?" He sneered back at her.
"All im trying to say is that I don't think that she should be pushed into anything, now you know my feelings on her becoming a Death Eater, she should at least be able to choose who she spends the rest of her life with!" Mom said back, raising her voice a little.
"Well then, where do you think she will find this young man? This great pureblooded wizard that she will instantly fall in love with hmmm, where is she to do that?" He rudly (a/n: spelling I know).
"I just think that…" She trailed off.
C'mon mom, cant you think of something.
With dads temper rising, I could see that this was gonna either end in tears or bruises, either way dad would be fuming, and mom would go to her room in some sort of pain, leaving me to be beaten by dad, because there is no other way for him to let his anger out.
"Exactly!" dad was only getting more annoyed.
"What do you know about love!" She raised her voice even more.
It was over in about five minutes, dad punching and slapping every part of mom he could reach, every once in a while the spell 'crucio' was heard, and mom kept on screaming and crying. She ran back to her room, just as I had predicted.
"You see how much stress you put me through, do have any idea?" He was getting even madder, I knew it was something bad was coming, but this time I wasn't sure what. I could usually tell whether he was just going to yell, beat, or spell me, not this time though, his eyes were so filled with rage, and the Death Eater mark on his forearm was glowing a strange deep purple color. Suddenly the mark turned bright red, then green, then it disappeared totally. Puzzled, I had to say something to him, you couldn't even see the outline anymore, which was always visable.
"Dad, your…your"
"What now you bitch, what is it this time!" He yelled at me with spit spraying my face.
"Your mark, it… it turned bright red, then green, and now you cant even see the outline." He was thinking I could see it in his eyes, I knew he had no idea what was going on, not caring about his anger I said, "Maybe you should go to his hideout, if this is happening to the other DEs then they're probably there too." He wanted me to shut up I could see, because he was pissed off that I came up with a simple idea and he had no clue. Shit here comes pain
"CRUCIO!" there was so much pain, more then he had ever put into the spell when it was used against me. I screamed and tears rolled down my face and I fell to the ground, all I could think about was the pain. Apparently in the spell he let out every little bit of anger in him at the moment, seconds after watching me writhe and scream on the floor, he apperated, probably to DE headquarters. I knew that when he came home I was going to find out what small training I was going to do. Running upstairs I wanted to write Blaise about the wedding, how I thought it was not fair that we were going to be pushed into a marriage that neither or us wanted.
Dear Blaise,
Dad is not cracking on the marriage, well im not doing it. At the wedding I swear I am not going to do the right thing or something like that, I don't want to marry you, as I know you don't fancy me. In my heart you only a best friend to me. I hope that your parents disagree, talk to them more, beg them if you have to. You know that if I ask anything 'stupid' of my dad he spells of beats me. Write back, this summer might just be one of the worst ever, even if I am going to LA for a week.
Hermione
When the letter was finished, I called my hawk owl over, Peggs. He was my favorite when I was 5, so I got him. As soon as he flew out the window, I decided I would go out to our private Quiddich pitch and fly around a little. Small shocks of pain still went through my body as I walked.

"Now, this summer when you get back from LA, you will go through torturing spells and hexes, the better you do, the less you have to practice them. I will hire someone that you can practice on when you master the spell on a simple dog. I know that this seems like nothing, but I will assure you that some of the spells are very complicated."
Since I knew that most of all torturing spells, and I learned quick, I knew that this wouldn't take more then 2 weeks, leaving another 2 weeks to 'plan the wedding'.
"Thank you dad, I know the training could have been much harder." All he did was nod and dismiss me, I had 3 days till LA, so I went to go pack.

Well LA wasn't that great, all I did was shop and tan on the beach. I did get an awesome tan though, and I managed to get laid by the end of it. When I got back home, training was easy, I mastered all the spells within hours. I didn't bother with the wedding, I wasn't going through with it, so why plan for it. I was sure that there was someone capable of being my groom at Hogwarts, I just had to look around. Sure father would want me to marry a Slytherin, but maybe a Ravenclaw to, I mean I did want a smart husband. The summer went by quickly, now I was packing again, getting ready for another year at Hogwarts. I wondered how everyone would look, what good stories that everyone would have. I asked mom if I could apperate this year, it was just so much easier. In about 5 minutes I finished packing and was at station 9 3/4.
Draco's POV:
Looking over the list again I wished I would die, there was so much to do after all. I got started right away on hair, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, but I wanted to do something. It took two days for me to remember that I was able to use magic now, but I looked around at hairstyles on the internet. Being muggle born wasn't that bad, because I at least knew some muggle things and could perform multiple muggle tasks. Because there was just so much I could do with my hair, I just let it hang sexily instead of coming it to the sides and back. It looked amazing. The buff part, wow the first time I started doing pushups I was amazed that I was able to even to three. I tried it again, but the second time all I could do was two. I decided to take a break on the push ups, and was going to work on my abs, this was not an easy task either. I would do four or five crunches, then have to stop so I could breathe. Then I tried something with the crunches, I breathed while I was doing them, instead of holding my breath. It took me about 2 weeks to get buff, I was so proud. Tan, all the while to get a tan I went for tanning sessions at the tanning place in town, it took me all summer to get a tan, but hey, I got tan. Well I had about a week left of summer vacation, so I got one of my greatest muggle buddies, Michael, to help me get a cool style that was hot now. This mostly consisted of really baggy jeans, big shirts, do-rags, and hats. Shoes were not cheap, I had to get the newest basketball shoes, and I must say they did look amazing. Then there was the boxers, I usually wore briefs, but I was told that baggy boxers are the way to go. With all my new clothes, my hair, my body, and my tan all I needed was the attitude change. I got help from Michael with that to. It wasn't that hard, just think bad. He said, "gimme and evil smile, lemme see the smile that changes my man fo school."
I gave him a smirk, not knowing it was the famous Malfoy smirk, I had no idea how to use it yet, hell, I didn't even know that I had it. He just said to me, "Man, that's what you need, that's what it is yo, that's what it is!"
Well I was happy with my summer, I worked on something at least.

"GET UP HONEY, YOU'LL BE LATE FOR THE TRAIN!"
Mom leave me the fuck alone.
"DRACO GET UP NOW!"
"IM UP MOM!"
She was annoying, embarrassing and I swear she was mental. I got up and took my new usual 20 minute shower. After the shower I put on some jeans and a green shirt with a black hat. I gave myself a Malfoy smirk in the mirror. Draco you are suck a freak.

At the station there was the Hermione Granger, I hated her. It sucked that I was going to have to be Head Boy with that stupid ugh I couldn't even describe that evil little thing that caused me so much pain over the years. Well I walked right past her on purpose, just to see what that little stuck up pureblood would say about me to me. She said absolutely nothing, she looked at me, but then just turned away.
Finally, she's the one with a loss for words.
