Alrighty! Here is chapter 2! Originally I was going to list everyone and do individual thank yous, but there are to many people and it would take to long. So thank you to everyone who reviewed, subscribed, favorited the story, and favorited me as an author. Thank you! I'll try to update as frequently as possible but I do try to write/edit to the best of my ability and I have a job so please be patient with me. I'm also trying to make the chapters longer.

Hermione immediately let go of Draco when she felt her feet hit solid ground. She didn't want to be any closer to him than she had to be. The room he apparated her into was decorated in earth tones, which was not something she expected from death eaters. Though she supposed that Mrs. Malfoy didn't want everything to be gloom and doom in her house, otherwise it would be pretty obvious who she supported in the war. The center of the room held a round, cherry wood table that had death eaters sitting around it. The one thing that crossed Hermione's mind was King Arthur's round table. She scoffed at the idea of Voldemort wanting everyone to be equal. This small noise caused everyone in the room to turn and look at her.

"I take it the mission was successful master?" Lucius Malfoy asked bowing low while shooting glances at Hermione.

"She has not made her decision yet," Voldemort informed his minions, "and she is under my protection. Nobody is to show her anything but the utmost respect. If I hear of one incident where Miss Granger feels unwelcome rest assured that everyone in this room will feel unwelcome when they next face me. Am I understood?"

"Yes Master." Everyone answered while bowing their heads in respect.

Voldemort nodded, "Excellent, this meeting is now over. Everyone may now return to your families. The teenagers are welcome to stay. I was under the impression that you all wanted to give Miss Granger a welcoming party of some kind."

Some of the masked figures nodded and others shrugged their shoulders. Nobody seemed very eager about the idea. Hermione got the impression that this hadn't been their idea at all, but they weren't about to tell the Dark Lord any different. They would probably insult her as soon as he left. Parkinson and Greengrass were likely planning on shaving her head bald while she slept. Hermione squared her shoulders and stuck her chin up. Heaven help them if they thought they could bully her. She would show them exactly what she learned from all of the books she read. Hermione glanced up to realize that most of the adults had left while she was lost in her thoughts. Only the Malfoys and Voldemort were still in the room.

Voldemort glanced around the room before smiling darkly, "Remember children, play nice."

"Yes and try not to be too loud. The music does tend to carry through the corridors rather well." Narcissa Malfoy added while accepting Lucius arm, "We would rather not have to ground anyone when you all just got here."

"You could use a silencing charm," Hermione said without thinking. Once again everyone in the room turned to look at her. "I- I just meant if you didn't want to have to worry about it Mrs. Malfoy. I didn't mean to sound so rude."

"No harm done Miss Granger," Voldemort chuckled before leading the adults out of the room. "That isn't a bad idea though."

Hermione tensed as she realized that she was alone with the same classmates that had made her life hell for the past six years. Everyone in the room seemed to be holding their breath. Finally, Draco looked around and sighed as Blaise started talking.

"Guys, relax. Let's just all take a breath and try to have a good time tonight." Blaise reasoned, "Granger isn't going to do anything unless you start something first. Right Granger?"

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Fuck off Zabini. I didn't ask for this to happen. I'd be happier in my room alone."

"Probably reading like the bookworm you are," Pansy mumbled under her breath.

"What was that Parkinson?" Hermione snapped.

Draco intervened, "She said that's going a little too far."

Hermione raised her eyebrows at Draco, "Nice try Malfoy, but I heard what she said." She informed him with a small smile.

"Let's go hang in the living room," Astoria suggested, "Everyone will be more comfortable and we can play some games."

Hermione couldn't help but smile as she walked into the living room. The entire room was done in burgundy with bronze accents. The carpet was a rich brown color and the walls were painted a deep red. Her eyes were drawn to a bookshelf in the corner. Hermione made a mental note to come back later and do some browsing. She was surprised that the Malfoys had such a Gryffindor room in their house. However, she reasoned that not everyone associated the color red with Gryffindor, so they probably thought nothing of it.

"What are we playing tonight?" Pansy asked while she pulled off her death eater mask and flopped down on the couch.

Blaise smirked, "The usual, truth or dare, I never, and maybe some circle of death if you can convince Draco and Granger to join in."

"I'll get the firewhiskey," Theodore Nott said heading to a cabinet in the corner as everyone else formed a circle on the floor.

Hermione hesitated not sure where to sit, "You playing Granger?" Draco asked from his spot on the floor with his back against the couch.

"Sure she is," Blaise said patting the seat next to him, "and she's sitting with me."

Hermione nodded taking her seat between Blaise and Theodore, "Who goes first?" she asked quietly.

"You," Draco smirked.

"Ok," Hermione said, "Uh, Theodore. Truth or dare."

"It's Theo, and dare." Theo answered.

"Hmm, I dare you to let me dye your hair red and give you freckles." Hermione said with a grin.

Theo smirked, "You missing the Weasel that badly Granger?"

"No!" Hermione replied with a smirk of her own, "I just think that you'd be much more handsome that way."

"I don't want to look like the Weasel," Theo frowned.

Hermione grinned and charmed his hair and face, "They should disappear by tomorrow morning."

"Yeah whatever," Theo said, "Pansy, true or dare?"

"Truth," Pansy giggled taking a drink of firewhiskey.

"Who was the last person that you had sex with?" Theo sneered.

Pansy glared at him, "You're an ass…Snape."

"Whoa! Snape? Bleh!" Hermione yelled cringing and wrinkling her nose, "That's nasty! Are you dating or something?"

Pansy winced, "Not that it's any of your business but no. It's just sex."

Hermione pulled another face, "I'm going to need a drink after that mental image." She said reaching for the bottle of firewhiskey.

"Awkward!" Astoria Greengrass pitched in giggling.

Pansy snapped, "Shut up Tori! Nobody asked your opinion!"

Astoria giggled harder, "You didn't have to."

"My turn. Tori, truth or dare?" Pansy asked and grabbed another drink of the firewhiskey.

"Uh, dare." Astoria smiled.

"Kiss Theo," Pansy demanded.

"Come here gorgeous," Theo grinned crooking his finger at Astoria. She slowly leaned over and planted a kiss on his lips.

Hermione smiled seeing the obvious attraction between the two teenagers. She loved how close Draco and his friends were. They seemed to keep no secrets from each other and they loved each other regardless. She hadn't even had that with Ron and Harry. They didn't know half of her secrets. Come to think of it, that was probably why they thought she had betrayed them. She sighed and looked over at Draco. She didn't know what she was going to do.

Pansy caught Hermione glancing at Draco and smirked. "Let's go to Suds!" She yelled.

"Ooh I love that place!" Astoria giggled from Theo's lap, "I'm in!"

Hermione grinned, "That place is awesome!"

The room was silent for a minute before Draco spoke, "YOU know about Suds Granger? The Golden Boy and Ginger the sidekick would drop dead if they knew that their precious Gryffindor Princess goes to a bar."

"I have my secrets from them," Hermione smirked, "and it's not Gryffindor Princess. They call me the Lioness. It's a stupid nickname that I could never get them to quit using."

Everyone nodded in understanding and got up to change. Hermione borrowed a bikini from Pansy and they were soon ready to go. Each girl partnered with a boy to apparate to the club, and Hermione ended up with Blaise. He grinned at her before she felt the squeeze of apparition and they disappeared.

The bar was packed with people their age dancing, drinking, and talking over the loud music. Hermione smiled pulling Blaise over to the bar to get a drink. They grabbed drinks and headed to the dance floor filled with bubbles that gave the bar its name. The suds were everywhere and quickly starting clinging to Hermione's legs and stomach. Blaise laughed and started dancing with her. They slid around on the dance floor bumping into others; Pansy snuck up behind them and started dancing with them too. Hermione smiled, put her hands above her head, and sunk into the music. She was actually starting to feel comfortable around this group of snakes. She could be who she really was around them, and didn't feel like she had to hide anything. Maybe they weren't so bad after all.

As if reading her mind Draco leaned down and yelled into her ear, "See we aren't so bad after all."

Hermione opened her eyes and smiled, "I was just thinking that."

"He does that a lot so you better get used to it!" Pansy interjected while dancing around them with Astoria.

Draco smiled, "I do not!"

"Do too!" Astoria yelled back.

At that moment Theo appeared next to the group, "Guys we have company!" he yelled while pointing towards the entrance to the club.

Harry Potter had just walked in with the Weasley twins, Ron, and Ginny. Hermione locked eyes with Harry and froze. Harry's eyes betrayed his shock and anger at seeing her wrapped in the arms of a death eater. He nudged Ron and pointed to her. Ron's ears turned bright red as he mumbled something under his breath and made a beeline for their group. Ginny stood watching the two boys with uncertainty in her eyes, and the twins disappeared with some girls.

"Drake, they're headed this way," Blaise said reaching for his wand.

Draco grinned reaching for his as well, "Now it's a party."
