Hermione and Draco entered the Slytherin common room, late that night. "I'm surprised he let you on that fast" Draco whispered. "Me too. But this mark is temporary. I just need to prove myself to him to make it permanent" Mya whispered back.
Flashback:
Mya, Draco and Lucius entered the Riddle Manor silently. "Lucius, my slippery friend. You're here" said a cold voice. "Yes master. I have brought my son and Miss Granger as well." "Good, good. Young mister Malfoy. You will receiving your mark soon correct?" Draco nodded at the Dark Lord. "Step forward, Miss Granger." Hermione did so. "You are very close to Harry Potter are you?" "Not extremely close. But I'll get as close as you need."
"Good. I'll need you to study him. Listen to any conversation they have. If they speak of me, I must hear about it, they speak of death eaters, I must hear about it. And I must hear every detail." Mya nodded. "Now a little test." Voldemort said. He waved his hand and an over sized cage with Emma and Ryan in it appeared. Hermione's eyes widened at first but then it turned into narrow slits.
"What kind of test is this sir" Hermione asked. "Hermione, what's going on? Help us" Emma cried. Hermione looked at her mother with pure hatred. "Why did you throw me out? I wasn't an evil seed you know. I listened to you, I got good grades, I loved you." Emma stayed silent, though she nudged her husband in the ribs. Ryan glared at his wife, and started to answer. "Hermione, there was something your mother and I wasn't telling you. I didn't want you out of the house. But your mother and I couldn't stand lying to you." "Well...What weren't you telling me?" The two stayed silent.
Hermione stood there, still narrow eyed but was as red as a beet. "What weren't you telling me? What were you lying about?" Ryan began talking again. "Hermione, darling-" "Don't call me Hermione" she said. "That's no longer my name." Ryan looked at his wife and nodded. "Ok then. Well, what your mother and I wasn't telling you was that...that..." "SPEAK" Hermione demanded.
It was Emma's turn to speak. " You are not our daughter. Your name isn't even Hermione." Everyone was silent. "That won't cut it for the girl. Talk" barked Voldemort. "Your parents were very strong wizards and were pure-bloods. But they were killed by...by him" Emma said, pointing to Voldemort. "Don't you dare point at him you immature worm" Hermione yelled. "You're lying to me again. You didn't even know who the Dark Lord was! You're only saying that because you want me to turn against him again. Well that's not happening! You're liars. Both of you."
Everyone including Voldemort stared at her. "You lied to me all these years. When I kept saying that I felt like I didn't belong, you said that I did. You said that I did belong to you when I didn't. I asked you if I was born from another family and you said no. You said NO! All of the questions I asked, the answers were lies! How dare you. All of those years I told you I was being teased because I was muggle-born you said ignore them. That's it. You two are pure liars and I hate you for that. You two deserve to die" Hermione screamed practically at the top of her lungs.
"Would you like to do the honors" Voldemort asked. "My pleasure" Hermione said. She raised her wand to the caged people. "Avada Kadavra!" A flash of green light jetted out of her wand and hit both people square in the chest. Both fell lifeless on the ground with no marks of murder. "You're a natural" Voldemort said. Hermione bowed at him. "Come child. Until you prove yourself even more worthy to me. I'll make your Mark permanent. And Draco, you have no need to prove yourself, yours will be permanent."
Volemort pointed his wand at two left arms and applied one permanent Dark Mark and one temporary. "Be careful with your assignment." Voldemort said to Hermione. She nodded. Draco and Mya bowed and Lucius pulled them away to take them back to school.
End Flashback.
Draco and Hermione were about to go up the stone stairs but after hearing a drawl "Congrats you two" they instantly spun around. They saw Snape smirking at them. "Let me see them" he said almost excited. Draco showed his permanent and Mya showed her temporary. "Very good. Now hurry to bed." They nodded and ran upstairs. "What was that about" Hermione whispered. "I don't know but that was weird." She kissed Draco goodnight. He tried to deepen it but Hermione broke it. "Draco not tonight. I mean killed my liar parents."
"You're right. We'll finish tomorrow." Hermione chuckled and kissed him again. " 'Night" he said. " 'Night." Hermione closed the girls' dormitory door as did Draco for the boys'. That was one long night. Hermione changed into her pajamas and didn't noticed that she was being watched. Pansy, looked at Hermione with narrow eyes. She was not happy that Hermione was with Draco. She wanted to hurt Hermione so bad for it. And she will. One of these days...
