A/N: Thank you all for stickin' with me so far ya'll are awesome. So for your enjoyment, here's CHAPTER 7!!

Chapter 7: Telling Lord Voldemort

The Lestrange couple had gotten the letter from their friend Severus around ten o'clock in the morning and they could relax, at least for the time being. They were summoned by the Dark Lord soon after and as soon as they arrived at the 'private' meeting, something didn't feel right. Bella looked up from her kneeling position on the ground and saw that they weren't alone. She and her husband were surrounded by their fellow inner circle members.

"Ah Bella and Rudolfus, I'm impressed that you found you daughter, and of course she will still marry a death eater, correct?" Bella nodded, "Well then, who will the follower of choice be?"

Bella hesitated just a moment as the Dark Lord looked on expectantly, and then she said, "Severus Snape my lord."

"And who is your daughter?"

Another hesitation, "Hermione Granger." At this remark, came a wave of murmurs.

"SILENCE!!!" the Dark Lord Hissed. "The child will be a valuable asset to us during the war. When is the binding?"

This time it was Rudolfus that replied, "On August 28th, in the evening."

"Very well," the Dark Lord said, "Bella, Rudolfus and Severus stay and the rest of you may go."

After numerous pops of apperations, only four silhouettes remained, with nothing but silence among them.

"Severus, is Miss Lestrange aware and in full agreement to this situation?" Severus nodded. "Good I want an heir. Just to be sure, what is your proof of this agreement?"

No sooner had the Dark Lord entered his mind did Severus pull forward the memory of the scene in Dumbledore's office. The Dark Lord shifted till he was satisfied and then he withdrew. "Well done, continue to persuade her and I Don't want to see any of you until the binding ceremony." The trio nodded in understanding and then apperated away.

"I now have the upper hand old man," the faded version of Tom Riddle said to the now lonely clearing, to no one but himself. He released a dark laugh and then disappeared himself.

A/N: Wow this chapter was way shorter than I thought, but anyway, that's what happened with Voldy. Up next, Hermione bonds with her family. Hope you enjoyed and Chapter 8 should be up soon! Much love, PUP
