Chapter Five
Snape stood in his room looking out his window over looking London. He was thinking back to the time when he had been pulled out of the black curtain. The portal to hell. The actual creator of the black curtain was always uncertain but only the families of the dark lord or now the dark queen knew how to get someone from the hell that the portal led too. But it wasn't always certain that once they had been retrieved that they would be sane or alive. Time passed faster there than here. Snape had been lucky enough to have a strong will to survive. He had a strong mind and he had made it out alive. Snape thought back to what he had found when he had tumbled out.
Snape found himself spiraling up the dark tunnel he had fallen down a year ago. As he traveled the curtain that was white on this side came closer and closer. He had dreamed everyday that one day he would go through it again and here he was traveling up the dark tunnel. When he broke through it he fell onto the floor of the ministry expecting to find death eaters surrounding him. Instead he found only one. Her back was turned to him like the ritual commanded her. She didn't' look like a normal death eater though. She wore long straight black hair that was down to her back. A long dark black dress that reached the floor. She turned around, her dress floating in the wind before settling back on the cold ground. His eyes traveled up to see who it was and found her nails painted a black that was blacker than night. When his eyes met hers he gasped when he found who stood before him.
"Good evening Severus," The girl spoke slowly.
Snape stood slowly. He could feel the power that radiated of the girl. But he never would have dreamed that she would have turned to the dark side like this.
"What has happened to you Hermione?" Snape asked slowly.
Hermione grinned. She knew her transformation would have been shocking to the man. She had been shocked herself when she found herself turning and all for him.
"A lot can happen in a month."
Anger replaced shock in his eyes and spread over his pale features that were even paler if that were possible.
"You left me down there for a month," demanded Snape, "In that torture."
Hermione rolled her eyes and walked over to him. She placed a hand on his face.
"Why Severus, are you saying a few demons can scare you. The all mighty powerful Severus Snape?" Hermione grinned.
Severus lowered his eyes knowing she was right.
"And besides blame it on your supposed friends. It took me this long to get the secret to get you out. If it wasn't for a certain Draco Malfoy you would still be down there," Hermione went on.
Snape's eyes snapped back to looking at Hermione's eyes seeking the truth in her words.
"Is that true?"
Hermione nodded. She removed her hand from his cheek and walked towards the center of the room. Snape followed her.
"What else has happened since I've been gone?" Snape asked.
Hermione turned around smiling wickedly.
"There's a new leader," Hermione grinned evilly, "Can you guess who it is?"
Kadence Malfoy
