Hermione had enjoyed this afternoon with Blaise.

It was not until dinner she was truly happy, the whole day was filled with thoughts of Blaise.

She dressed into a black and white dress and flats for dinner, people would laugh if they thought Hermione Granger was changing clothes for a boy…let alone being a Lestrange or a death eater...not that she had a choice.

She straightened her rocker hair…truly she looked like one of those bands her moth- Mrs. Granger would never let her listen to. She needed to stop calling her , her mother… Bellatrix was her mother.

She then did her make-up and put on a bracelet her parents had bought her recently.

Her mind was filled with what she was going to say to Blaise.

Meanwhile downstairs….

Draco looks very pissed off.

Blaise looks very happy.

You can take a guess.

"So Draco…going to marry Pansy?" Blaise joked around and looked at the pictures in the parlor.

Draco rolled his eyes "Hell no…the little pug…bitch."

Blaise laughed and then mumbled "Speaking of marriage, I told my mother…who I want to marry."

Draco thought for a second …he was just flirting with Hermione…"Who did you pick…Balustrade girl?" (Made her up!)

"Heavens no…actually I mailed my mother this afternoon about your cousin."

Draco looked really angry "What!"

Blaise then smiled and said "What? Surprised…really…I told you once I met the right girl I'd know it and I just know it with Raylin…we hit it off fast. My parents want to meet her…. And they're excited an-"

"WOW, wow, wow… don't you think you should have consulted my cousin first…you've only known her for a day now…you knew Granger…but that's not my point! Blaise she just recently found out who she was…and is now starting to accept it…you cant just send a letter saying your…going to marry her!" Draco said rather protectively.

Blaise then smirked and said "Why not?"

"Because! Blaise she's my bloody cousin… feel it my job to protect her…and I don't know what goes through your twisted mind!" Draco said it and looked fierce.

Blaise swallowed hard and said "My twisted mind? I'm sure she can handle it…you know who her mother is…"

Draco then looked rather pissed "Yes, I know my aunts mental status…but you cannot…not when she is a week away from joining the inner circle with our family!"

Blaise nodded and then said "Ill wait till she is right with the Dark Lord…but then that means she is single and open to marriage proposals…I will be the first to ask her hand in marriage."

Draco didn't want to talk about this anymore…"whatever…its your funeral…"

"What's that suppose to mean?" Blaise said in a very defensive manor.

"You do know Rodolphus and Bellatrix went to Azkaban…right?" Draco smirked.

"Yes…and?" he said in an annoyed tone.

"I don't think my uncle has any problems killing whoever touches his daughter…and aunt Bellatrix is just…protective…especially with her going into the inner circle…shell kill anything or anyone trying to ruin that for Raylin." Draco smiled, as Blaise stood a bit frightened.

Raylin walked down the stairs to see Blaise in the foyay.

"Blaise, you look very pale are you all right?" she asked sweetly.

He looked surprised and said "No, I'm fine…" He then took her arm and led her to the dining room.

Draco was standing and right before Blaise could take a seat next to Hermione, Draco sat in between them, making sure Blaise behaved.

Diner was long, and when desert came around…the parents had more to talk about.

"You heard the Dark Lord…Bella she has to stay in Gryffindor!" Rodolphus said clearing his throat.

She nodded and said "I just hate seeing her there with the blood traitors and…mudblood!"

Hermione coughed to clear her throat "May I be excused?"

They excused her and she decided to take a walk…whatever they had to talk about…she would find out soon enough… she had learned to keep her mouth shut and don't ask questions.

It may have been summer, but this night was rather chilly.

Hermione walked around and felt the cold night air blow her hair.

"Hello, there." Blaise said smiling his warm heavy robe on him.

Raylin's now Rosy cheeks from the harsh cold smiled "Hello Blaise."

Blaise had a face of triumph like he had escaped Draco or something.

"Do you always take walks in the cold?" He said jokingly.

She giggled and took a deep breath, she was making steam with her breath "No, it's suppose to be summer it's not suppose to be this cold."

He laughed and then said "Stupid weather..."

She laughed at the face he made.

He then changed the subject "what were your and Draco's parents talking about tonight?"

She then stopped giggling and said "For the last month my mother, has told me my place with The Dark Lord…and that I cant take it back and how powerful I will be…she wants it so badly for me…so I'm joining the inner circle."

He then laughed "Your going to be a death eater before Draco is one."

She looked up "really…what about you?"

"Well, I already am a death eater…but I am not in the inner circle." He then looked into her beautiful eyes.

She giggled "My mother is very...well let's just say she has me reading the dark arts. More then I think the Dark Lord does himself."

Blaise then lowered down to kiss her.

It was random and quick and Raylin accepted.

It was a bit awkward after that.

Draco was watching them the hole time a distance off.

The next morning on the eve of the night she was suppose to rejoin the dark lord, Raylin awoke with a cough.

Bellatrix was in her room and had poured out a spoonful of black bubbly liquid that smelt foul.

" It smells awful." Raylin moaned.

Bellatrix shoved it down her throat. "Swallow…sick or not…you are joining Our Dark Lord."

Hermione nodded and swallowed the shit.

Bellatrix then let out a tiny smile "There, heavens knows what you and that boy were doing…or so your cousin tells us!"

Raylin looked over at a smirking Draco in the doorway.

"But…we did-"

"Shush…. My dear you need your rest." Bellatrix left the room.

Draco walked in smirking "Ray…don't be mad just intended on a little fun."

Raylin stuck her tongue out at him "your evil…we didn't do anything!"

"That's not what our parents think…in fact your father is plotting something as we speak."

Hermione got scared "Oh, no! He can't kill Blaise!" she was about to get out of bed when a laughing blonde made her stop.

"I was just kidding…gosh Ray…'t some rest." He smiled and left her annoyed.
