AN: Yet again own Nothing. The events in this chapter take place 6 days after the last one. it is the eve of the Snape-Dragomir Wedding for your information. Enjoy!

Chapter 6: Sides Determined.

The wedding was only one day away. Hermione dreaded it. She was now in a short black corseted dress, which was picked out for her by Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Oh, how she hated them both.

Hermione wished she could run away, or die. Either one sounded nice at this point. The first time Snape had raped her (AN: it rhymes! ...)was certainly not the last. And each time, the honey brown that was once in her eyes grew darker.

Hermione wished she could say that she had no feeling left inside her, but couldn't. Only one man had no feeling at all. That was Dracula. To her, he was her only way out. But it was certainly not the right time. Not until her 18th birthday. I

n the rehearsal dinner, Hermione remained silent, and when spoke to, she answered quietly. They all could tell she was broken on the inside, which was to their advantage.

(AN: To The Devil and Dracula.)

What?" Dracula boomed. He was outraged.

"Yes, my son. it is very upsetting. Severus Snape, a loyal follower of Tom's, is going to marry her. Luckily for you, she loathes the man."

"That traitor." Dracula proceeded to ramble on while walking on the walls and ceiling. "I gave him everything. My word, my assasins, and I protected the mortal wizard. HOW DARE HE!?!"

"He doesn't know of your vow from years ago.."

"It does not matter. I realize now that besides the magic world fearing him, he is completely useless. I am the one he sould fear!"

"Right you are, my son."

"But...I can't retrive her until she is 18...because of.."

"I feel it is nessicary to break that part of it. But under one condition. Her blood will be ripest when she is 18. You can do what you desire, just don't turn her until she is of age. Understood?"

"Of course, master."

Dracula came down from the ceiling. He took his monstrous form and flew toward Little Hangelton.

(AN: To the Order)

"So wait.." Harry spoke. "We're going in..tonight?" Harry asked. He interrupted his horcrux search for this.

"Yes, I believe so. You said you saw where in the death Eater's headquarters she was?" Lupin asked.

Harry nodded. "And someone was talking to Voldemort. She was listening in, but escaped, but she'll need our assistance."

The Order of the Phoenix suited up for battle. Ron came over to Harry.

"We've got to save her, together."

"Of course, Ron."

(AN: Back to Little Hangelton.)

Hermione was sitting with Bellatrix and Narcissa. They were in a conversation she was lost in. She looked at the night sky. The stars all aligned. The moon was a new one. But something caught Hermione's eye. A dark winged creature was flying towards the place.

"Impossible.." Hermione gasped. Her gaze still on the window.

"What?" Narcissa asked. She also looked out, but didn't see the creature in time. "The things you think of, Hermione." Narcissa called Hermione by her name. She said the reason was because that she was going to be her friend soon. Hermione doubted they would get along in the future. hermione stood up from her chair and ran out of the room. She on instinct took the nearest wand, which was Bellatix's .

"Come back here with my wand!" The brunette hissed. Hermione ran faster. Could it be him?

(AN: To Dracula)

The king of vampires landed in Little Hangelton. Snape, Lucius, Voldemort and the other death eaters approached him. Dracula used his pinky to slick back the stray pieces of hair that weren't in his dashing ponytail.

"Something the matter, Vladislaus?" Voldemort questioned.

"You know perfectly well!" he snarled.

"What?" they all were stunned.

"Come, we'll settle this in my office." Voldemort offered. Dracula gave him a wicked look. Snape, Lucius, Voldemort, and Count Dracula went into the office. What they didn't know was that hermione was on the other side of the wall, listening in. Tears came down. She was somehow scared of being punished by Snape again. Her heart was racing. She hoped to god that Bellatrix and Narcissa would not find her at this moment.

AN: to the Order

They quietly formed outside Little Hangelton.

"Remember, we are getting Miss Granger out of here." Tonks spoke up. The task was accepted by everyone. They stormed in, wands at the ready.

The death eaters insantly noticed and fought. Harry and Ron ran to find Hermione. Ginny tagged along.

(AN: To The arguing people and Hermione on the other side of the wall)

"How dare you try to betroth her!" A roaring voice spoke. "She is crucial to my survival, and the survival of my kind!" Hermione had the wand clutched. She was ready for anything. she could tell that Dracula was talking about her. They were fully aware of th battle at hand.

"Well, she is part of our society, not yours." Another voice bellowed. It was obviously Voldemort.

"She will be a part of both, and you know I wanted to eliminate the Dragomirs. You don't know what you are doing , Tom."

"Don't threaten me."

"I can, and I will. I will make your glorious army fall to pieces, and take you with it." the first voice came back.

"Like you could."

"Try me, Tom."

"Well, No matter what you say, she is going to marry one of my faithful servants." He gestured to Snape.

"You're lucky I'm not hungry at the moment." Dracula drawled. "Otherwise, I would have killed him."

Dracula appeared behind Snape. He turned around. "I'm not afraid of you."

"Oh, I know that, Severus..but you hurt my Hermione."

"Yours?" Snape felt a bit insulted. He begged to differ.

Dracula stopped and sniffed the air. He could smell and feel the presence of her blood. It was intoxicating to him.

"Yes. Mine. She was marked for my by my father since her birth. I can sense her blood as it draws near. So, she is mine, and nothing can break the bond."

Hermione felt another tear, because she was just property to both of them. Especially Dracula.

All of a sudden, she heard footsteps. Hermione got up. It was Narcissa and Bellatrix.

"Cruc.."

" Avada Kedavra!" Hermione cried. She didn't see Harry, Ron, and Ginny turn the corner to witness this. Narcissa Malfoy was dead on the ground. This was certainly different from Harry's dream.

"Hermione?" they all shouted, wands pointed in Bellatrix's direction. She was kneeling a her sister's side.

"Narcissa!" she shouted.

This caused the men and immortal to leave the office with great speed. Hermione and her friends took this opportunity to escape. They ran protecting Hermione out of the place. They met up with Moody. He stared with his eye.

"We gotta get out of here!"

The Order gave the signal and left after fending off the death eaters.

Dracula and the wizards watched all this take place.

"She was so graceful as she departed." Dracula's smooth accent purred.

They all stared at him.

Lucius knelt down and cradled Narcissa in his arms.

"Consider our alliance broke, Tom." Dracula took flight. He would let her leave for now to wait for the opportune moment.
