Chap 6: Honor?

They landed outside two double glass paned doors, that inside Hermione could tell held a great many people. Severus did not let go of her only whispered to her "Keep close, and now is not the time to break down, remember anything you see happen, you are on the dark side now Hermione."

With that, they walked into the room, she looked around and almost did break down.

All the death eaters were gathered around on one side of the room, with their ladies, and their children. And on the other side of the room, in a cage made of old rusty steel were the survivors of what was her life up until now. And in the front of the room, was the dark lord himself, Voldemort. He was sitting at his throne, looking as though he was king of the world and no one could bring him down. Hermione then guessed this was true, considering the light had failed, there was really no one else to bring him down, except himself.

The pair walked down the middle of the room, up to him, and Hermione did as Severus did. She bowed to him. "Severus my fateful follower, who is this that you bring with you? You may stand up." They did as they were told, and Severus explained. "My lord, this is Hermione Granger, she has chosen to come over to our side, and did so willingly, She asked me to bring her here, not as a prisoner but as your newest faithful servant."

Voldemort looked curious, and she dared to look around the room, and saw the shocked faces on all of the death eaters, this was Hermione Granger the best friend of Harry Potter, part of the Golden Trio, in front of Voldemort surrendering herself over to the dark side. She then glanced over to the cage, and saw the survivors, they were crying now, shocked, hurt even. They were Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter. The only two survivors left.

"Well then if she wants me to spare her and truly believe her, then she should have no problem doing this task for me. Kill them Miss.Granger, kill the ones who you have been so loyal to, up until this day in time, and I will allow you into the ranks of the dark." She remembered Severus telling her that she was going to have be strong, and do as he asked, if she wanted to be able to survive, and fulfill her destiny.

"My pleasure, my lord." she smirked and looked over to the cage, and did a simple alohamora spell on the lock to it and then walked over to it and opened it, and pulled Ron out first.

"Hermione, what are you doing this is not true, and you know it Hermione!" he cried to her, looking disbelieved that his best friend would be OK with killing him, and most likely knowing her it would not be a pretty or peaceful death.

"Weasel, please do not cry to me about your future, you layed this out for yourself by picking the wrong side." and with that she threw him on the floor, and gave him a crucio, She let him writhe in pain on the floor, and the scream that was received by the room was ear piercing. But she never hindered from her destiny, this was what she had to do. Dumbledore had known this would happen all along.

She released the crucio off him, after about 10 minutes, and realized he was out cold, and she went up to him and felt to see if he was dead, he wasn't. So she did the only thing left to do. "Avada Kedevra!" and for Ronald Weasley, it was over.

She then kicked him out of her way, and went over to the cage again and got out what was left of Harry Potter, and pushed him down to the floor, for him she just did a simple Avada Kedevra, considering he was already practically dead. She went over to check him for dead, and whispered to him "I'm sorry Harry, please understand." She then got up, and went back to stand beside Severus, after sending a death glare to all the death eaters that were now applauding her actions, with that she looked back up to Voldemort himself.

"SILENCE!" he boomed. The room immediately grew quiet again. "Miss. Granger, you have done what was asked of you, without any hesitation, please tell me why you have chosen to come over to our side?"

She quickly thought of a answer that would suffice him for the moment being and said "I like to win, and I like to succeed."

"Very well, step up here, and receive the mark." She did as she was told, and felt like a puppet walking up to the podium above her where he took his wand, and said the incantation and immediately she screamed out in pain from the mark, that was now embedded in her skin. It was a black dragon almost tattoo looking mark.

She then said "Thank you, my lord." and walked back down to the podium.

Severus and herself went to stand beside the rest of the death eaters, as Voldemort said this "Well, seeing as though our latest problem is taken care of, I see no reason why I need you all here, I will call you back when I have further notice, lets all give thanks to Miss.Granger, for taking care of the last of our deeds for tonight. Goodnight, Enjoy the rest of your evening." And with that said he was gone. Her last thought before the pair apparated themselves away was 'Is this supposed to be an honor?'

A/N: I know, i know. My idea of torture was awful, and Voldemort was way to nice, I tried though. Please consider that I'm new to the writing thing. anyway enjoy! I wont be able to update until Saturday! R&R please.
