A/N: I never would have thought that so many people would be interested in my writings! Thank y'all ( My Texan is starting to show) so much for your support! You have no idea who much it means to me. I want to thank my best friend/roommate, Chris, for being my beta. He gets all kinds of excited when I finish a chapter, he likes being able to read the story before everyone else…you know, seeing as he lives with me and all. Honestly, I think if I didn't threaten to stab out his eyes with my pencil, he would just still my notebook and read unfinished work without my permission…though, I do let him read chapters before they are done just to see if he thinks I'm on the right track. From now on I think I am going to start replying to revews here. Oh, and just in case someone didn't realize it…all the chapter titles are song titles. Just so y'all know.

vamp1001 – Thank you, love, I'm glad you like it. :D

Snapesbloodredneko – WHAT? YOU WANT ANOTHER CHAPTER? OMG, GREEDY MUCH! Haha! Here is another chapter! I hope you like it!

Darkshadow-lord – Thank you! I've seen you around before, I am honored that you read my story. We both read "Those Gilded Chains We Wear" By KuraiBites I think its one of the best stories I have read. I need to get around to reading your stories, though. Oh, and to answer your question, I read a fic that made me love Voldy. "Dark Effects" by liidg, its one of my top faves!

Jonny2 – I wish I was Russian, studying Russian, or knew Russian. It is one of my dreams to learn the Russian language. I have been crazy obsessed with Russia and everything to do with Russia for as long as I can remember.

Berserkeroo – I would have to agree. I would have screamed like a little bitch too!

OKAY! HERE IS THE CHAPTER!

THE ONLY EXCEPTION

"Ms. Granger, please have a seat." Voldemort said, patting the bed next to him. I was hesitant, but did what I was told. The Dark Lord wasn't known to be nice to muggle-borns, so, I was a bit fearful for my life. "You seem to make my Bella happy, now, I'm not as cruel as most think, I like to keep my Death Eaters happy. Do you like her Ms. Granger?"

I didn't know where he was getting at, but, I figured it was in my best interest to answer truthfully. "Yes, Dark Lord, I do like her."

The man smiled at my confession. "I know you are not a fan of mine, seeing as I've just killed your boyfriend, this might be to much to ask, but, would you consider joining me to be with her?" I opened my mouth to speak, but was cut off before I could make a sound. "Now, Hermione, you don't have to answer me now. Think about it for a few days, I'll come back to hear your answer." He stood, turned to walk out of the rooms.

"Dark Lord?" I stopped him in his tracks, he turned to face me." Not that I'm complaining or anything, but why aren't you killing me? I mean, I'm a mudblood and your whole thing is about blood purity."

"You don't fear death, you are good with a wand. You'd make a good addition to my ranks, and, Bella likes you. She is my most loyal follower, I will give her anything she wants." He smiled and walked out the door.

ЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙЙ

"What do you mean he's dead?" If anyone made me fear my life more than the Dark Lord and Bellatrix, it was Molly Weasley. "Who killed him?" Molly started crying.

I took a set and told her everything that happened. I told her about us, that I was his play thing. Mrs. Weasley was surprised to find out that her son was gay, apparently she's always wanted a gay son. I told her of the fight we had after I told Ginny about both him and Harry being gay. While I was at it, I thought I should tell her about what went on with Bellatrix as well. I finally told her what the Dark Lord told me.

"You can't go to his side, Hermione!" Mrs. Weasley yelled. "You can't be with that...that bitch!" I was taken aback, I believe this was the first time I have heard this woman curse.

Molly got up, leaving the room, after a few moments of being alone Arthur came in, putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Hermione." He took a set next to me. "The Order needs you, when you decide what you're going to do, just remember, if you don't side with us you will die with them."

ΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨΨ

I walked into my room, Ron's body had already been picked up. I had a lot to think about in the next few days and I knew I'd most likely side with the Order. I laid down on the bed to think. I wasn't even sure of my feelings for the dark witch, I was beyond confused.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice that someone entered the room. I was pulled out of my thoughts when an arm wrapped itself around my waist. I went for my wand, it was sitting on the table next to my bed, but the arm pulled me closer. I could feel the warmth of a woman's body behind me.

"There is no need for that." Bellatrix whispered into my neck. "I know what happened, I'm sorry." I started crying, I never thought I'd hear the most feared witch sound so caring.

I just laid in her arms, it seemed like days, but we just laid there, silent.

БББББББББББББББББББББББ

I woke up to the sound of the shower going, I got up and quickly got dressed for a jog. I wrote a note telling Bellatrix that I'd be back in 30 minutes.

As soon as I made it out the door I started my jog. I needed time to think and this was the only way I know I could.
