I haven't said this for awhile...I do not own Harry Potter, if I did...well I think I'll keep that to myself. ;)

Again, I still do not have a beta, if anyones interested, respond, email me... Thanks -Rae

As always please tell me about spelling mistakes, I double check, but alas I'm still a bad speller.

Hermione:

I was tied down yet again...it was Voldemort that stood in front of me, and then Malfoy came into view, with that wicked curved knife that had already cut me multiple times.

"Reopen all the wounds and cuts." Ordered Voldemort.

"With pleasure My Lord." Malfoy said smoothly, even now he had the same, annoyingly oily voice.

I saw that knife come towards me, slowly, he was waiting for me to cry out for him to stop...but no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't betray everything I loved, have worked for...I wouldn't betray Remus.

He began to slowly, and painfully cut me again, only this time he went further, the knife's blade dug into the meaty flesh of my legs and arms, the pattern was expanding, becoming bigger and bigger.

Then Voldemort stood in front of me, that wicked wand of his in his hand, I was ready for crucio...but no, he cast another spell.

"Forever you will bear these scars, forever you will know the wrath of Lord Voldemort...forever you will be plagued with the images of me."

The knife then came down again, retracing the already fresh cuts.

Remus:

I heard someone crying, and moaning with pain. I thought it was just a dream, until I felt another body thrashing against mine.

I then saw her face, contorted with pain, tears spilling from her eyes.

"Hermione! Hermione! Wake up!" I shouted, while shaking her hard.

When her eyes opened, they were wild with fright, and her soft sobs filled the dark.

"Shush...it's okay now, I'm here. Shush." I cooed to her, wrapping my arms tight around her.

I could feel her body calming down, her breathing becoming more even, the stink of fear leaving her.

"What time is it?" She mumbled to me, her voice thick with sleep.

"No need to worry about time, we are going back to sleep...I will keep you safe...they can't take you from me again." I said, murmuring a love you against her neck so she didn't hear it.

She settled back down, and I looked down at the clock that said 12:00 PM, we had been here for a good few hours, but she needed the sleep.

I smiled at her features, now this time peaceful with dreamless sleep...and sleep carried me off itself.

Hermione:

When I woke up again it was 8:00 PM, me and Remus had been asleep for a good amount of hours now.

I looked at Remus's now peaceful face, the relaxed muscles, the slightly open mouth that breathed in and out steadily with air.

I slipped from his warm arms, and prepared myself for our meeting with Dumbledore, I scrubbed myself again, trying to get the imaginary dirt off of my skin, I had been thorough last night, even as dead tired as I was.

Once dry, I looked at myself in a mirror...I was scarred, neck down, swirling patterns that would always be there, they would never go away...they had been magicked to be that way. Forever.

I shuddered, remembering how I had gotten all those scars.

Banish those thoughts, dress and wake Remus. I told myself firmly.

I did.

When we were both done preparing I stole one last longing glance at this room, and its practical design. It was very nice, comfy...but not extravagant.

Remus:

We walked the halls of Hogwarts, coming up the the gargoyle that guarded the head masters office.

"We don't know the password..." I said, almost in annoyance this password problem was getting old.

"Start guessing any type of candy you know." She told me, of course.

"Lemon Drops."

"Acid Pops."

"Sweet Slugs"

"Eww you eat those? Fizzing Fiz Fritters."

"No, it was a guess! Whizzing Whips."

"Chocolate frogs."

"Mmm my favorite. Lemon drops."

"Remus, your obsession with chocolate is creepy, of course you like it. Molting Molten Marshmellows"

"Nope, looks like its none of those...umm...Choco Chunky Puffs?"

It moved to the side quickly.

"Lucky guess." She told me, and I chuckled, she would of never thought of that one.

Hermione:

We were now going to see Dumbledore...and I had to tell him what happened, I grabbed my wand...wait...my wand was gone this was...oh merlin.

Remus looked back at a Hermione that had turned a pale white green color.

"Hermione!" He yelled at me, but I had already fainted.

When my eyes next opened, I found myself in the hospital wing...just like my first day here.

Then I remembered my last thought, and threw myself up and into a sitting position. "Remus! Remus!"

"Yes?" He asked, gently trying to push me back down.

"You bit that person right? Didn't you? Of course you did, how stupid of me. Did you get down to flesh?" I knew I was babbling.

"Hermione, for me to understand you, you have to talk slower."

I repeated myself, slowly, but as fast as I possibly could.

"Yes, I did get to flesh, whoever I bit is now werewolf." He said calmly, how could he be calm!

"REMUS VOLDEMORT IS A WEREWOLF NOW!"

"What!" He yelped and jumped up.

Remus:

I had bitten Tom Riddle, not Voldemort...unless...merlin.

Voldemort was a werewolf, we had to tell Dumbledore.

"I also have his wand." Hermione said, looking down at her hand in wonder.

"I have wielded a thing that has took many lives...a evil dark thing." She said, her wonder turning to disgust.

"We have to get to Dumbledore."

"No fear my students, I am already here. You seem to have something important to tell me?" Dumbledore stated, and asked. He seemed impatient to me.

"Dumbledore, Sir...Voldemort was bitten by Remus...so he is a werewolf, and I have his wand..." Hermione spoke up shuddering.

Dumbledore's eyes widened, even for him this was suprising.

"You...you students attacked Tom Riddle?" He asked.

"Yes." I said, and then me and Hermione spoke up, not missing a single thing, the only thing we skipped was Hermione's torture.

Dumbledore:

It was amazing, no impossible, incredible. Two students, not even graduated has bested a evil wizard, one of the most powerful.

I looked at those two, seeing if there was any lie to what they were saying, but detected none. They had really did it, they had really attacked Tom and lived.

I looked closer at them both, last night they had been covered in filth, but now they were pink and clean. They had lost those dark circles, but now the gaunt look, more so Hermione then Remus.

Guuurrgglle.

Hermione blushed, looking down.

I snapped my fingers, and a house elf appeared in a puff of smoke.

"Yes, Sir?" Yinky asked.

"Can you please bring up enough food for four? Thank you." I said as he disappeared in another puff of smoke.

I looked down at the blushing Hermione, and Remus who were leaning against each other. They had done exactly as I thought they would, and it was hard to keep a smile off my face.

"Miss Granger, we have another matter to talk about." I stated, I didn't want to do this to her so soon, but I had to ask what had happened.

"While we couldn't find you, what did you see?"

"I was in a dark room the whole time, it was filled with fungi and other rotting plants. It also had rats and other small creatures like cockroaches. I saw nothing other then that. Unless Voldemort or Malfoy came into the room."

"I am sorry to press Miss Granger...but I need to know what they did to you." I pressed gently.

"They tortured me." She stated simply, then slid up the sleeve of her hospital gown. It was crisscrossed with cuts that were only half healed.

I nodded, I was expecting that.

"Now, I need you to tell me if they said anything important in front of you." I pressed again.

Hermione:

Yes...they did say something. I wasn't caught on accident, I was like a small prize that was on Dumbledore's good side.

"They came after me on purpose. They know where I come from Sir." I said clearly, and saw Dumbledore pale.

"This is grave news Miss Granger, something they could use against us."

I nodded I already knew.

"Sir...I will have to get a new wand. I, I won't be able to use this one, it has to many deaths on it."

Dumbledore nodded, he understood.

"Tomorrow Miss Granger, Remus can go with you, but you will have to take guards, and disguise yourself. I will prepare the things you need for it."

He turned to go...but I had one last question.

"Sir? What will we do with his wand?" I asked, I didn't want to hold onto this thing.

"Break it Miss Granger, unless you want me to."

"No, I'd rather do it myself." I stated, then turned to Remus after he had left.

Remus:

"I lied." Hermione stated, but lied about what?

"I lied when I said I really like you-" She began but was cut off.

"If you are going to tell me you hate me, then don't bother." I said, my temper getting the best of me. I looked away, growling low.

"I love you."

What? My heart stopped, my breathing stopped, everything seemed to stop. She loved me?

Next chapter will get more interesting, I promise.

Also, I am still looking for a beta, if anyone is up for it...email me, or respond. Thanks -Rae
