Broken Wings
Chapter 12: Lovers Corner
By: Midnight Walker
Hermione stood outside of Professor Snape's office. He had told her during potions that she needed to see him immediately in his office, so here she was. She knocked twice, and entered. Snape sat in a high backed chair behind his desk, while staring at the wall. When she walked across they room towards him to sit down, he saw her and managed a small smile. He turned towards her and stared her in the eye.
"We have run into a small problem. Voldemort has somehow gained alliances with the Dementors, some of the giants, and the elves. We do not know how this happened, as for I was not present. The Order needs another set of eyes in the inner circle besides me. We need someone who can be by his side almost 24/7, and can see everything. That someone is you." Hermione stared at him for what seemed an eternity before she even moved a finger. After five minutes she strung together a sentence.
"Y-you want me to go in and become a death eater? To stand by his side, and be his plaything?" she sputtered in complete shock. Severus looked at her distraught honey brown eyes and mentally told her to calm down. It worked seeing as she started to breathe deeply if as through calming herself. Severus took a deep breath and looked at her once again.
"Unfortunately, yes. I need to know whether you can handle this. We need for you to set aside your hate of him and the death eaters, to do this job. Hermione, Will you be able to do this?" he asked looking into her honey brown eyes. Just when he thought she wouldn't be able to do it, she nodded unable to speak. When she got up to leave, he got up as well and hugged her tightly. Hermione held on just as tight, needing this comfort only a parent could provide. They stayed like this until she pulled away, stated that she had to go to Ancient Runes.
Severus let go, although a bit reluctantly. Letting Hermione do this mission, was like throwing her into hell itself. He knew after this, she would never be the innocent child she was now. Her innocence would be taken away from her most likely unwillingly. She will see things that a 16 year old should not see. Her nightmares will be haunted by Him. As he bid her goodbye, Severus knew deep in his heart that Hermione would never be the same.
Hermione ran along corridors, looking for that tell-tale blond hair that made her boyfriend stick out like a sore thumb. 'Although a very cute sore thumb.' She thought. She saw him up ahead leaning against the wall, waiting for her. They had somehow managed to meet after almost every class, since there classes were in the same vicinity of each other. She walked up to him and grabbed his hand pulling him to her. "Draco, come on, I need to tell you something." She pulled him along corridors, down the stairs and into the entrance hall. He turned her around looking her in the eyes, and at the same time stopping her brisk walking.
"What's wrong, and where are you taking me?" he asked concern and humor in his silver eyes.
"Come on it's not safe to tell you here." She said dragging him again. By the time she was done they ended up in an alcove of trees in a very secluded spot. Draco looked around then back at her.
"What is this place?" he said still staring around.
"Lovers Corner. Secret make-out spot when the astronomy tower is in use." Lovers Corner was beautiful. All year round the temperature stayed warm and the grass stayed green. Just beyond a band of trees in a small forest, was a waterfall. It emptied into a huge crystal clear lake. The water was so clear that you could see the pebbles at the bottom.
He raised his eye brow at her suggestively. "No Draco, that is not what we came here for." She sat down on the ground covered in soft green grass. "Today Snape called me into his office. He told me that the order needs another pair of eyes in the inner circle. Someone to stand by His side, see everything and to be his plaything." She finished and put her head in her hands and let the tears flow that she had been restraining since being told of this news. Draco put his arms around her and lifted her into his lap. He rubbed her back and whispered soothing words to her, until she had stopped crying.
"So what you're saying is that you will have to become a death eater, and stand by Voldemorts side, right?" he said his eyes staring out at the small forest.
"Yes, to help the order defeat him. They need to know who is on his side and who is on our side." She said leaning back against his hard chest.
"Then I will become a death eater early." He said. Hermione sat up quickly and he silenced her with a silver eyed glare. "Don't try to stop me Hermione. I care about you, and I do not trust them with you. I want to be there not only to watch over you, but to help the order as well. While you are with The Freak, he could be sending out death eaters to gather allies that you won't even know it. That is where I come in." Hermione again tried to speak, and he again silenced her. "I want to do this Hermione. I want revenge on my father for everything he has done to me." He said looking deeply into her eyes. As he stared at her intently she nodded reluctantly. He stood and started to walk away. "Come on I don't want to spend my time sitting here, when there's a waterfall over there!" he said running to the lake.
He sat down on the shore and began to take off his shoes. Hermione caught up to him and also began taking off her clothes, starting with her robe. By the time she was unbuttoning her shirt Draco had started working on his pants. She soon felt a few drops of water hit her and smirked. 'So impatient…' she thought. Hermione stood on the shore in just her black lace underwear. Being a vampire had had its quirks. Hermione now was very fit, with a toned body and nice curves. Draco came up from the water and admired the view, by whistling.
"Oh, Shut up." She jumping into the lake and splashing him. She swam back up to the surface and splashed him. He splashed her back and they continued to have fun until the sun was casting and array pinks, yellows, and blues across the sky. "You know I had fun today." She said leaning her head on his shoulder as her wrapped a hand around her waist.
"Me too. We should definitely do it again some time." He said watching the sun set. They hurried up the green slopes of Hogwarts to dinner, holding hands the whole way.
Autumn sat in front of the vanity mirror in the 6 year girl's dorm. The dark lord had just told her via telepathic link, that he had a job for her. She took her blond hair and pinned it up for the time being, while she took a quick shower. When she was finished she went over to her trunk, and took out her assassin uniform. Her assassin uniform consisted of: a skin-tight leather cat suit which was impenetrable, a specially made impenetrable corset to protect her upper body, combat boots, and a black leather cloak. She tied her corset with magic and sat down on her bed to buckle up her combat boots. She un-pinned her hair and let it fall down in slightly curled waves. She applied her black make-up to make her intimidating to her prey, (Not that she needed it, she was intimidating enough in her assassin uniform.) and donned on her cloak. She walked back to her trunk to get her daggers and potions that were kept on a leather strap that tied around her waist.
She walked over to the darkest corner of the room, stepped into the shadows, and let her body dissolve into the shadows. That was another one of her tricks, the first being able to manipulate the mind. These powers had been passed down her family line for generations. You were born with these powers but you had to develop them by the age of eight or they would dissipate.
Autumn felt her body become whole again and stepped out of the shadows into a dimly lit room. There were two lines of cloaked figures standing at attention facing the opposite line. At the head of the lines in the middle sat a silver throne with snakes engraved on it. In the chair sat lord Voldemort himself. On his lap was nagini, his snake who he communicated with all through out the gathering. Autumn walked down the middle of the lines till she was three feet away from him and sank to one knee, as was customary for assassins.
"Autumn, so nice to see you again." His very voice sent shivers down a grown man's spine. She rose to a standing position and looked him in the eye. "I trust things are going well with Mr. Potter?" he said petting his snake.
"Things are going better than originally planned, my lord." She spoke abandoning the warm, sweet voice she used at Hogwarts for a cold deadly tone.
"Excellent." He hissed. "Your job for tonight is to bring down Harry potters source of protection. Tonight you will attack Number 4 privet drive, surrey." He smiled a lipless smile. Autumn was nearly jumping in excitement of shedding someone's blood.
"Yes my lord." She said sinking to one knee. Tonight was definitely looking up.
"You are dismissed. Make sure to leave my mark there for the ministry to find." He said dismissing her. She rose and walked back down the line of men, feeling there gaze on her as she walked past. She again walked into the shadows and felt her body dissolve into a black vapory mist. She soared over the English countryside at imaginable speed the brisk wind cutting at her exposed skin. Finally she reached her destination and became whole again in the alley way between two houses. She located number 4, and started up the drive way in which a silver Volkswagen was parked. Autumn noticed the living room lights were on and they sat on the couch watching that thing called television. 'Time to make my dramatic entrance.' She thought.
Autumn walked up to the door and kicked it open. She strode in like it was her home. The husband jumped up and pointed at her.
"Who are you? Get out!" he yelled backing up his family behind him. Autumn laughed a haunting laugh that chilled them to the core.
"Shut up stupid muggle, you mean nothing to me." She said and pulled out her wand. She put a silencing charm on the room and closed the door and sealed it for the time being. "Let's have fun shall we?" her usual warm eyes had turned cold as ice in feeling and in color. They were a scary light blue with vertical pupils, her blonde hair turned blackest of blacks, fangs became prominent, her ears grew pointed, and her nails sharpened. All in all she looked frightening. She was a demon of the underworld called a Vixen. They were categorized as an upper middle class demon, known for there extreme beauty, there unforgiving nature, and hanging there headless victims by there feet for display to others.
Autumn tortured the dursley's endlessly with her daggers and potions. When she grew bored, she finished them off by hanging her victims by there feet for the ministry to see. On the wall she wrote in the dursley's blood 'When the saviors mind is corrupted, who will you turn too?' She changed her appearance back to her human form and walked into the shadows and again released her body to the shadows, becoming one with the night.
A/n: Was it long enough? Too much information on the gory stuff? I couldn't find a good mythical creature to meet my requirements. I spent hours looking at what I believe was every creature known to man! lol Can anyone give me the true description of a vixen so I can change autumn's appearance to fit that of a vixen? I really would appreciate it! Well toodles!
