I do not own Harry Potter (and believe me I do not want to own him, but I would not mind Draco Malfoy/Tom Felton, and if she is willing to give him up I will gladly take him no questions asked!)

Finally, it was 7 'o clock. Draco went into

Hermione's room, and brought her out. They moved

quickly together in silence, Hermione following Draco

as they went down the steps of the huge manor, and

into the basement. Hermione stopped and looked

confused. "Nobody is in here!" she said to Draco. "Of

course not, Miss Smarty. Do you really expect the Dark

Lord to preside in our basement where everybody can

see?" he said lazily. He walked to a wall, and

muttered "lovoncode moresean" and it opened. There

sitting at stone table, were the Malfoys, and

Voldemort.

Hermione gasped. Voldemort was worse than she had

expected. She had never seen him before, only heard

Harry talk about him, when she was still in contact

wiht the Weaslys. He had a white face, red eyes, and

had the look of a thin vampire.

"Come join us, Hermione Granger." said Voldemort. "You

are a pureblood, destined to us, and you should follow

the footsteps of your dear mother." "My mother was a

death eater?" Hermione gasped. "Yes, and a faithful

one." Hermione weakly fell into a chair. She looked

around, and her eyes fell on Abby. The little girl's

mouth didn't quiver when she looked at Hermione, but

her eyes smiled. Hermione thought this a good sign,

and looked back at Voldemort. "I am not yet ready to

make a descion, can't you see?" she said, fury piling

in her mind. "My parents just died, and here I am

sitting at a table with Lord Voldemort!" She

continued. "Give me time!" Voldemort raised his black

eyebrows in astonishment. "Boldly spoken. I shall give

you until tomorrow to decide. If you can't, or refuse,

I will kill you." Hermione gasped in terror, and

slowly backed out of the room.

Hermione sat on her bed, sobbing. How could she give a

choice? She would be fighting for evil, but if she

refused, she would be killed. Books wouldn't help her

this time. Suddenly, she heard a knock at her door.

I'll try to update if you all review! Sorry if it's too short but one of my assistants wrote this one! C ya
