Another person stepped forwards with their hood still covering them "we could easily torture it out of her" she could hear the smirk in his voice, Dolohov she thought as he started talking again "If she happens to not survive this then we could just say that the Order killed her so that we couldn't get to her, the Dark Lord can not fault us for this".

I glanced around and noticed that others were thinking of it and gulped nervously.

"I agree!" a bunch of voices murmured in agreement before they all turned their dark eyes towards me.

Bellatrix stepped forward "Crucio!" she hissed with her wand pointed at me.

I screamed as the unexpected spell hit me, the pain seemed to be so much worse then the last time. Time carried on like this, Cruciatus curse and Cruciatus curse hit me as Death Eaters took their time.

Tears were silently running down my face as I sobbed and winced in pain on the floor. I was breathing heavily and my eyes were open, unseeing.

"No! Leave her alone!" Blaise, Ron and surprisingly even Lucius Malfoy shouted.

"Someone shut them up!" Fenrir roared.

"I have the spell to draw blood" cackled a voice hovering above me.

My pain filled and tired mind didn't comprehend as he muttered a spell "sectumsempra"

It felt as though someone had stabbed me over and over again. I screamed and shuddered under the pain, feeling blood trickle down me as my eyes seemed to darken around then edges.

I tried to slow my breathing down but the pain was too much and I fell into a deep sleep, hoping that I would survive through the night.


The pain seemed much worse as I let in a deep breath as consciousness came back to me. I was on back I realised without even having to open my eyes. I could hear murmurings of people surrounding me … well not me personally but people were all around the room.

I could hear heavy breathing from beside me and three people whispering.

"Come on Hermione wake up!"

"Merlin Severus is going to kill me if something bad happens to her"

"You mean worse then what's already happened Mr Malfoy"

"Merlin Blaise you're my sons best friend just call me bloody Lucius!"

There was a chuckle "okay bloody Lucius"

I let out a slight laugh only to wince and squeeze my eyes as much as I could.

"Hermione thank Godric your awake!" Ron sounded so worried that I could push the fact he was a cheater to the back of my mind.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw all three of the looking down at me. I furrowed my brows confused "I had so hoped I would have died".

Ron frowned whilst Lucius and Blaise winced "no such look dear" came a cruel deep voice from some where in the distance.

I moaned in pain as I pushed myself up into a sitting position glaring up at Fenrir behind my hair that was in my face. I huffed in anger and winced as my stomach hurt. Glancing down I realised there was a large slice across it where the sectumsempra curse must have hit.

I gripped at it whilst gritting my teeth in pain, hissing and still glaring up at the ugly werewolf. I felt someone but a hand on my back to steady me as two more hands went on my arms and pulled me up and away from Fenrir.

Lucius who was behind me was glaring at the werewolf with a look that promised pain whilst Blaise watched him warily and Ron watched him in fear. All three of us stood together watching the werewolf as he stalked slowly closer with a smirk on his face.

He reached out and stroked a finger down my cheek and then my collar bone until his hand rested above the opening of my blouse. I shivered with fear and revulsion but stayed glaring at him.

I was pulled back away from him by Blaise whose grip tightened on my arm.

"We're not anywhere near done with you Princess" he said it mockingly and I gulped, licked my dry lips and looked around the room.

I froze when I noticed a cauldron surrounded by Death eaters … this was just how Harry explained what happened with Wormtail in the graveyard at the end of fourth year.

I let out a long shaky breath "Oh Merlin".

A deep chuckle came from over near the cauldron and my breath caught in my throat in fear.

"Shit" was the only thing that came from my mouth. I had never sworn before but this time it could not be helped.

Fenrir grabbed her arm and pulled her forwards making her let out a small squeak at the unexpected movement and wince at the pain of moving. He gripped her arm tighter completely ignoring the three indignant and angry yells from behind us. I glanced back with wide eyes to see them all watching me being dragged away all looking helpless.

What could they do without a wand?

Fenrir roughly shook me before he let go of my arm and made me drop to the ground in middle of the room. I warily looked around at all the Death Eaters, none of them were looking at me though. They were all looking towards the cauldron.

"Let me through" the voice demanded harshly.

The Death Eaters scrambled away from the cauldron as quick as possible. I stared at the figure left behind, he was tall … I knew it was a he because of his voice, he was naked but luckily I didn't have to see anything because his back was to me. I noticed he had dark hair that reached his ears and it moved softly as he moved. His figure was skinny but he had muscles that I noticed more when he rolled his shoulders. He skin was pale but more a porcelain pale then a deathly pale.

I noticed he moved his body as though he wasn't used to moving it or as though he had been asleep for a very long time.

I stared at the back of his head as he reached out his left hand towards Wormtail who hurriedly passed him a black cloak. The man pulled it on before fiddling with the front that I couldn't see. I presume he was clasping the cloak together at the front somehow.

I sucked in a breath when he turned around and my gaze was captured by sparkling green eyes. A green very different from Harry's whose was a twinkling emerald, this man's eyes were a forest green, a pale green that hid many emotions behind them.

His features were sharp and his face was slim, he stared back at me without any emotion.

I stared at him as he moved slowly towards me. He spread his arms wide as though he expected me to hug him.

"Daughter" he spoke quietly and smugly.

I gasped in a breath and stared at him wide eyed "huh?" I said very unintelligently.

He chuckled and kneeled in front of me, he reached to grasp my hand but I flinched back making him smirk.

"You are wise to be afraid".

"I'm not afraid" I said before my brain had even registered the thought.

Another chuckle escaped from the man's mouth before he reached forwards and pulled me up with him. I winced at the pain as my stomach clenched.

"You are hurt" he said as his gaze roamed my body.

I shivered not liking the look in his eyes … this was my Father … Voldemort. He should definitely not be looking at me like that.

"You look just like your Mother" he murmured.

I shivered under his gaze "and you murdered my Mother" I said as confidently as I could, moving away from his grasp.

He chuckled and smirked "I did not need nor want you Mother, I only need" he paused as he looked me over "and want you".

I gulped and looked away from his heated gaze, my eyes met Lucius's grey ones and we both looked at each other in fear. His fear for me and of the Dark Lord in front of me and my fear for myself.

"What do you want?" I asked so quietly that only Voldemort in front of me heard me.

I felt his finger and thumb clasp my chin as he turned me to face him, I stared into his green eyes and wondered where had the snake look gone? He moved his face closer to mine until I could feel his warm breath on my face.

"I want you" he said in a husky voice.

"me?" I squeaked out.

"well" he paused as though he was thinking "you are my blood, so our heir will be 100% me … there is no way he would not follow in my footsteps".

I felt the colour drain from my face and my legs started to shake and feel weak. I took a deep breath to stop myself from throwing up.

"I think I'm going to be sick" I murmured to myself.

"Bellatrix bring in the Muggles" I noticed the unusual gleam in Voldemort's eyes as he spoke.

I watched warily as Bella stalked out clearly around about being bossed around and the fact that Voldemort has not showed her any more attention then anyone else. I glanced at Ron, Blaise and Lucius who were all looking wary and confused. Lucius was holding his shoulder as though he were in pain, his eyes glanced quickly around the room as though he was waiting of something.

I heard shuffling near the exit of the room and noticed Bellatrix come back with two other Death Eaters and two people with black bags over their faces. I had slight recognition of the Muggles which confused me.

I watched them as they all moved into the room, Bellatrix ordering the Muggles to kneel before me and Voldemort. They fell onto their knees and the woman whimpered.

I frowned recognising the voice from somewhere but couldn't understand where unless they spoke or the bags were taken off their heads.

I flinched when Voldemort flicked his wrist and with a wave of his arm the bags flew off the heads of the Muggles making me gasp in horror.

"Daddy!" I screamed and went to run forwards but Voldemort's arms wrapped themselves around my waist and held me back. My eyes filled with tears as I took in their already battered appearances.

"I am your Father not that … Muggle" Voldemort hissed in my ear as he held me close to him.

"Please let them go" I begged through my tears.

"I don't think I will" he laughed making me deflate against him.

"Please let me say goodbye" I asked quietly as I watched my parents stare at me wide eyed.

I stared at my Mum whose gaze softened when she met mine, I dragged my gaze away to look at my Dad who was glaring at everyone but me and his wife.

"Please" I breathed out softly.

I nearly fell forward as his arms let go of my waist. I steadied myself and looked back at him shock. He didn't move or show any emotion as he just watched me, I stared back unsure but when he didn't do anything I spun around and ran into the arms of my adoptive parents.

My Dad wrapped his arms around both my Mum and I, I let out a sigh as my body relaxed.

"I'm so sorry" I muttered so only they could hear me.

"It's okay honey, it's not your fault" I pulled back and my Mum put her hands on either side of my face so she could get a good look. She scanned my face before twisting a strand of hair around her finger and letting it drop again "your hair has gotten so long" she smiled sadly.

I let out a strained giggle "at least it doesn't like a bush anymore".

That got a weak smile out of them both, my small smile dropped as I looked at them both. My eyes watered and I took a deep breath "I can't get you out of this" I cried as I clung to them both "I'm so sorry, I don't have my wand and there's too many of them … I just … I …" I cried and clung to them as though that would save them.

My Mum sighed with a smile on her face, she looked at me so lovingly that I just wanted to die right there and then.

"It's okay" she whispered as she kissed my forehead, she had tears in her eyes but refused to let them fall "I may not understand your world Hermione but I understand you" she paused and bowed her head so our gazes matched "you will win" she said so quietly that even my Dad didn't hear and he was next to us.

"I love you" I looked up at my Dad and bit my lip at the cry that wanted to escape "both of you".

My Dad smiled "we'll watch over you".

I let out a sob then and my whole body sagged with defeat, I shook my head frantically "It shouldn't end up like this" I heard footsteps getting closer and tensed not looking anywhere but at my parents.

I looked at them in fear but they didn't do anything other then smile at me, they were being brave. They were being brave for me. They shouldn't have to but I knew it wasn't being very brave.

Arms came around my waist again dragging me up and backwards away from my parents. I stared at them in despair as Voldemort pulled me away.

"Have fun with them before you kill them" he ordered making his Death Eaters cackle gleefully.

"No!" I screamed and tried to get away from Voldemort and to them. I heard Voldemort sigh before he threw me at Lucius.

"Hold her Traitor" he sneered down at the older Malfoy who stared calmly back. Lucius caught me before I fell and he gently pulled me to his side.

Voldemort snorted and stalked off "I'm going to get dressed, the Muggles better be gone when I get back" he paused at the door "you may toy with the Traitors" he turned to smirk at me "you may also toy with my Daughter but I want no lasting effects on her" he turned to glare sternly at the men "no one is to touch her in the way that is flashing through your mind right this moment Scabior".

I shook and gripped onto Lucius's arm, he glanced down at me and whispered "you may not want to watch this".

I shook my head but didn't look away, I couldn't look away. They were dying because of me and there was nothing I could do about it. More people were going to die because of me, I had bought the Dark Lord back.

"What should we do first?" cackled Bellatrix as she twirled her wand and stared at my parents as though they were something extremely amusing.

"Crucio?" came a voice from somewhere I could not see.

I bit my lip and stared at my Mum who turned to look at me, she smiled and I couldn't help but smile sadly back.

Bella cackled pleased and pointed her wand at my Mother who didn't even bother to look at her "crucio" the screams that filled the air would forever haunt me. I couldn't look away from my Mum's pain filled face as she curled up on the floor after the curse was taken off. My Dad didn't scream, he gritted his teeth and squeezed his eyes shut against the pain. I was openly crying at this point, screaming and shouting for them to let my parents go. I tried to pull away from Lucius but he held on tight.

"Stop!" I cried over the screaming, my grip tightened on Lucius at every scream that he winced in pain.

"I'm bored of this, lets try something knew" moaned Scabior as he watched my parents scream with boredom.

Something snapped in side of me at that moment. He glanced over at me with a smirk "let's put the Princess in the mix" he sneered.

Lucius tightened his grip on me and Ron and Blaise moved closer as though they could protect me.

Bella stopped cursing my parents and looked at me in thought, I could just picture the torture she had planned coming my way. I looked up at the three wizards around me before looking at my parents.

Fenrir let out a monstrous laugh that sent chills down my spine "oh, I have an idea" he looked at me with cunning eyes.

Bella looked up at him bored "and what might that be half breed?"

Fenrir growled at her but ignored her comment "she should do it".

This time he had caught the attention of everyone in the room, I stared at him dreading where his thoughts were going. I felt Lucius tense next to me and couldn't help but look up at him with wide eyes.

"Do what exactly Greyback?" came a growled voice from one of the still masked Death Eaters.

Fenrir laughed one of his barking laughs that made many Death Eaters including my parents and me, Lucius, Blaise and Ron all jump.

"She should be the one to end the Muggles lives".

I gasped and shook my head at the same time that every Death Eater turned to look at me.

Before I could even begin to protest I was being dragged away from my friends and in middle of the circle of Death Eaters.

"No!" I growled and tried kicking and fighting my way out of this but it did not work. I winced and nearly screamed in pain as more blood rushed from the wound on my stomach.

"We could always Imperius her?" offered a quiet Death Eater, I was starting to think that Bella was the only female one until this one spoke up.

"Now what fun would that be?" purred Fenrir as though he was happy with himself.

I stood with one hand at my side and the other gripping my pain throbbing stomach, I stared at my parents who were still panting from the Crucio curse. Both my parents had tears sliding down their cheeks, their faces a mixture of pain, grief and an emotion I had hoped not to see. They had given up hope.

It made my heart crumble to see that expression on their faces.

My Dad looked at me and I whimpered, falling to the floor next to him "Daddy" I spoke quietly. I lifted my gaze to look at him, he looked back and smiled. He smiled, I looked at him bewildered but he just chuckled weakly.

"Please" he sounded so forced "do it".

I choked on air as I looked at him, the Death Eaters around me were all arguing about what to do next.

I stared at my parents, if I did kill them then they would not have to go through so much pain but didn't you have to mean it?

I bit my lip as I thought still staring at my parents "you want me to kill you?" I murmured in shock.

"Please" came the gasping voice of my Mum, she still spoke quietly knowing that if the Death Eaters heard then there would be more pain.

I took a deep breath and let it out before whispering "I love you" a tear slid down my cheek as I plastered a brave and confident look on my face and stood up, making sure not to wince.

I turned my head to look behind me, Lucius, Blaise and Ron were looking at me with so much sympathy that it made me sick of what I was about to do.

"Okay" I said loudly shocking everyone.

I didn't remove my eyes from my parents but felt my heart shatter at their look of relief.

"I'll do it" I whispered out.
