Katie: I like bad Hermione too! I reckon she is way too much of a 'goody- goody' so I thought that it would be great if she 'bent' a few of the Hogwarts Rules and got 'a bit' sneakier and that sort of stuff! ;) Well anyway, thanks for the review!
DrAcOs-DaRk-LaDy: Thank you for the review (author attempts to look solemn. Fails miserably!) THANK YOU! That is all. Of course I could say more, but Thank You is the best way to 'explain' it.
Piper5050: Thank you so much! That's really encouraging! No really, it is. :) have fun reading this chappy and all the following ones!

Hermione stepped off the Hogwarts express. She scanned the crowd for a sign of Draco or his father. She walked around looking, when Harry and Ron came up to her.
"Hey 'Mione!" Harry said cheerfully.
"Where are you staying over the holidays?" Ron asked sheepishly.
"How does it concern you, Weasley?" Hermione said sharply.
"Come on 'Mione. Tell us where you're staying. Are you coming to the Burrow?" Harry persisted.
"I am staying with my parents." Hermione informed them, as she continued scanning the crowd.
"Cool! Can we come over then?" Harry asked excitedly.
"My parents are staying at Malfoy Manor." Hermione said coolly as she spotted Draco in the crowd.
"WHAT?" Harry and Ron cried.
"I'm going to stay at Malfoy Manor for Christmas because that is where my parents are and they wish to see me." Hermione repeated, as she jumped down from the platform she had been standing on.
"Um, Hermione. . ." Ron began.
Hermione glared at him sharply and he shut up quickly.
"Does that mean you'll be staying with Malfoy, as in Draco Malfoy?" Harry finished.
Hermione shot them a glare. "No Harry, it means I'll be staying with Malfoy as in Invisible Malfoy. Of course I'm going to Draco's Manor. You know any other Malfoy's?" Hermione snapped irritably as she made her way to Draco.
"Whatever." Harry said wearily.
"Oh my god!" Ron gasped.
"What?" Harry asked, lifting his head.
"Look!" Ron said, as he pointed at Hermione.
Harry nearly dropped Hedwig's cage. Hermione was smiling at Draco.
"What the fuck?" Harry said as he pushed through the crowd. He came up to Hermione and was about to explode when Draco stopped him.
"Now, now, Potter. Don't want to create a scene do we? After all, you might be watched by the Daily Prophet." Draco sneered.
Hermione completely ignored Ron as he came up. "Harry, what is all the fuss about?" she asked sweetly, her veela charm helping her.
"I want to know why you were smiling at this. . . this. . . MALFOY!" Harry exploded.
Hermione shook her head in disdain. "Harry, Harry, Harry. I'm smiling because I get to see my parents! Don't you see?"
Harry made an 'o' with his mouth and nodded. "Sorry for suspecting anything. Ron here pointed it out to me, and it was kind of a shock, you know."
Hermione rounded on Ron. "Keep out of my business Weasel!" she hissed.
Ron was outraged. He made to shout at Hermione but she was already gone, following Draco loftily.
"Did you see her attitude? Did you see that? Who does she think she is? Talking like that to me!" Ron said, livid.
Before Ron could say anymore, Cho came up to him and Harry.
"Hey Ron." Cho said softly.
"Hi baby." Ron replied.
They hadn't gone far when the same ropes burst out of nowhere and wrapped Ron and Cho together. Hermione came out from the crowd, Draco was watching.
"You like each other so much I thought you wouldn't mind getting wrapped together!" Hermione laughed harshly. "See you next term, Ron!"
Hermione then whipped around, disappearing amongst the crowd.
*~+~*
Hermione sat in the limousine, next to Lucius. She was awed by his greatness, and she questioned him again and again about his dealings in the dark arts.
"Do you have a torturing curse worse than crucio?" Hermione asked.
"No, but several of our best death eaters are working on it." Malfoy senior replied.
"I've developed one. It makes you feel as if you're on fire but you're not really. It's just pain. The incantation is 'incendio prolongus' and the wand movement is an 'x' mark except you have to do it left to right and then right to left." Hermione said casually.
Lucius was interested but did not persist any further. No need to question her now. There was plenty of time for that later.
Hermione turned to Draco. "Are you getting the dark mark any time soon?" she asked.
Draco nodded slowly, unsure of whether he should've told her that.
Hermione frowned. Draco's heart sank as he realized that wasn't a good idea after all.
"That's not fair!" Hermione said. Draco's eyes lit up.
"You want the mark too?" he asked cunningly.
Hermione nodded.
"You can get it, but you'll have to be taught all the spells and stuff first." Lucius said, approving of the girl's sincerity.
"I'll learn quickly. I made up a spell myself. It's a binding spell that duplicate's itself if you touch it. Wraps around you if you touch it too. Dumbledore (she flamed again), or rather the old coot, couldn't get rid of it until half the students and teachers were wrapped up. I was thinking of developing it a bit further." Hermione rattled on as if she was talking to a wall.
"How?" asked Lucius, who was now interested.
"I was thinking of developing it by making it drain magical energy so it gets passed on to the caster, but I can't do such advanced stuff." Hermione sighed.
"You can't but we can." Draco said simply.
"REALLY!" Hermione said excitedly. "In that case I have dozens of simple spells and enchantments that can benefit Lord Vol- the Dark Lord." Hermione corrected herself.
"Like?" Draco urged.
"Oh simple things like torturing spells that I've come across in books, spells I've made up, like healing spells, controlling spells, potions that cause permanent madness and only I know the antidote, potions that take an hour to brew that can change you into any person or animal you want. The list goes on forever." Hermione said casually.
Lucius was pleased. An excellent addition to the Dark Lord's death eaters. Now she only needed training.
*~+~*
Ron glared at Harry indignantly.
"Get this thing off me!" he hissed.
Cho nodded in agreement.
Harry burst out laughing and shook his head.
"Why? It's funny watching you two struggle. You know you're always wrapped in some broom closet or something else and now you're tied together, you would think you guys wouldn't mind." Harry grinned evilly.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER! GET THIS ROPE OFF ME THIS INSTANCE OR YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE MOST MISERABLE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!" Ron bellowed as he squirmed to try and reach his wand.
"HARRY!" Cho shrieked. "GET IT OFF!"
Harry raised his wand.
"Finite Incantatem." Harry said, laughing hysterically.
Immediately the ropes disappeared and Ron got up gingerly, rubbing the spots where the ropes had cut in.
Cho got up and glared at Harry viciously.
"You bastard! To think I actually liked you at one stage!" Cho whispered so only Harry could hear.
"Now, now Cho. Don't let Ron hear those nasty words pass your lips. He won't like it and then he'll dump you or cheat on you with someone else." Harry mocked, waggling a finger in front of Cho's face.
"Harry, Ron! Let's go! Mum's waiting for us outside and she's getting angry! Apparently she's going to miss some show if we don't leave." Fred said, appearing out of nowhere.
Harry pulled Ron along, summoning their trunks to a trolley. He walked through the barrier, and spotted Mrs. Weasley looking quite worried and flustered.
Grinning slightly, he headed towards the Weasley's and prepared to have a wonderful holiday.
*~+~*
Hermione looked up at the manor in awe. It was huge. Bigger than Hogwarts. No wonder Draco always boasted about his money!
Hermione spun around to face Draco. "Where's my room?" she asked sweetly.
"Follow me." Draco answered.
Hermione followed Draco through a maze of corridors and secret passages. Finally he came to a stop outside a hazel brown door. It had a little sign stuck to it that said 'KEEP AWAY! THIS IS HERMIONE'S ROOM! NO ONE ELSE ALLOWED!'
Hermione chuckled and pushed the door open.
Gasping audibly, she walked into the room and ran a hand over the 100% pure silk bedding materials, and the black, fur carpet across the stone floor was so squishy under her boots. She walked over to the ebony table and ran a hand over the smooth desktop. Whipping out her wand Hermione turned to Draco.
"It's wonderful. Just needs some nice 'windows!' " Hermione cried, pointing her wand at the wall. Immediately two windows that reached from ceiling to floor appeared. Hermione clapped her hands abruptly and turned to the house elf she had summoned.
"I want you to find me some nice materials that would suit the room that I could use for drapes for the windows." Hermione commanded Libby (cousin to Dobby [A/N: Changed the 'd' to an 'l' but decided the 'o' needed to be changed too!]).
Libby quickly scuttled out which left Hermione and Draco alone in the room.
"Draco. . ." Hermione began as she kicked off her boots and slipped off her jacket, revealing her tank top underneath.
"Yeah?" Draco asked distractedly, as he watched Hermione strip off one layer of clothing.
"Is it just me or is it, hot in this manor of yours?" Hermione asked looking around at the walls. Grinning slightly, she pointed her wand at one of the gargoyles and aimed.
The gargoyle broke and Hermione began to work with the space that she had created. It was large enough for two people to fit comfortably with two chairs (top of the line, naturally) and a small coffee table.
She cleaned out all the rubble and enlarged the space till it was nearly the size of Draco's private rooms at Hogwarts.
Clapping her hands ecstatically, Hermione smiled at Draco. "Here is our secret hideout!" Hermione cried happily.
Draco raised an eyebrow questioningly. "Very subtle 'Mione. No one will notice the rubble," he said sarcastically.
Hermione grinned and waved her wand. Immediately the rubble disappeared and the wall looked as if nothing had happened at all. Draco cocked an eyebrow and smiled.
"Okay. This is the combo." Hermione began to press several bricks in a combination and the wall disappeared revealing the room within.
Draco smiled wickedly. "Wanna test it out?"
Hermione grinned back in return. "Why not?"
Grabbing his hand, she dragged him through the wall into the room. Immediately the wall reappeared once inside the room.
Hermione then clapped her hands again. "It worked! It worked!" Hermione said as she jumped around.
"Yes, it worked but my father will find this room if you don't shut up soon." Draco drawled, draping his arms on the back of the couch.
Hermione glared at Draco and said menacingly, "Make me."
Draco smirked in reply. "My pleasure."
Draco then pulled Hermione down and kissed her. (A/N: IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED I DO NOT LIKE THESE SCENES! EVEN THOUGH THEY DO HAVE TO HAPPEN IN ORDER FOR THE PLOT TO WORK! ARGH!)
Hermione gasped and opened her mouth under Draco's pressure. Immediately she felt his tongue slip in like a snake.
Groaning slightly, Hermione broke off, panting. Gasping for air she smiled.
"Fine! You win." Hermione pretended to sulk, but Draco sneaked up behind her and started tickling her sides.
"Come on. We've got to get out. My father will be looking for me soon." Draco breathed.
Hermione sighed. "Alright!"
Jumping up she showed Draco the combination one more time and walked out of the wall.
It was just in time too, because just as they cleaned themselves and made their appearance normal again, settled down into the chairs and began to talk, Lucius appeared.
"Draco. I have something to tell you that doesn't concern Miss. Avery." Lucius said, as politely as he could.
"Yes father." Draco nodded and headed off after him, but not before sending Hermione a wink that melted her heart.
*~+~*
Draco stepped into his father's office.
"What do you want father?" Draco asked as he sat down in a chair.
"I want to tell you that the dark lord is expecting Miss. Avery to be ready for the mark by the next holidays. He wants her to be trained in all the spells, potions etc. before she returns to Hogwarts. You have a load on your hands, son, so get to it." Lucius smirked.
"Miss. Avery is an excellent addition to the Dark Eaters. I want you to bring out her true colours before the day's over."
Draco nodded and headed out.
*~+~*
Hermione sat twiddling her thumbs. She wanted to explore the manor but wasn't sure whether she was allowed.
Finally Hermione couldn't take it any more and went off to 'check out the place.'
Ten minutes after Hermione left, Draco walked into the room. When he discovered she wasn't there, he quickly whipped out a map. (A bit like the marauder's map. It just doesn't have the secret passages to Hogsmeade.)
He scanned the map for any sign of Hermione when he spotted her outside the torture rooms. He hurried off to get her before she got into any trouble.
*~+~*
Hermione stepped into the torture chambers. She looked around in awe as she looked at the numerous potions lining the wall.
One of them was the polyjuice potion. Snorting softly, Hermione pulled down a book and began to read the spells and enchantments that could be useful during torture sessions.
Hermione had read 5 pages when Draco stepped into the room, puffing slightly from running halfway across the manor (as I said. The manor is HUGE!).
"Phew! I thought that you were going to go into that room." Draco said as he pointed to the only other door.
Hermione looked puzzled. "And what's so bad about that room?"
"It's the torture chamber. This is the waiting room, so to speak." Draco said lightly.
Hermione's eyes widened in surprise.
"You have a torture chamber in your house?" Hermione squealed.
Draco nodded.
"WOW! What kind of stuff do you do around here?" Hermione asked.
"Well we torture people to get information for the Dark Lord, and other things of that sort." Draco answered, before sitting down.
"Do you want to be a death eater Hermione?" Draco asked, a serious expression on his face.
Hermione burst out laughing. "You look so funny when you're trying to be serious."
"Just answer the question 'Mione." Draco said, frowning slightly as he tried to think of an excuse for wanting to know.
"Well. . ." Hermione began. "Being a death eater sounds *much* more interesting than being an auror."
Draco smiled. "Good! I'll start training you tomorrow then!"
Hermione grinned. "Well, what sort of things will we be doing?"
"The basics." Draco shrugged. "History of the Dark, some spells, and potions. All off a book of course so you'll have no trouble remembering the spells or potions."
Hermione beamed. "Fantastic! I'll see you outside, pronto tomorrow morning at dawn!"
