Wow. It's been so long and I don't really have any excuses, really it's just laziness, I go on fanfiction pretty much 24/7 when I'm supposed to be studying, but I honestly can't be bothered to write. It's almost been a year, I'm 18 now. Yay! I'm getting a wrist tattoo in less than a month! Remember, read every word.

Hermione

My breathing quickened as we walked down the dim hallway. Malfoy's grip on my arm tightened, as I frantically swivelled my head, searching for something, anything in that gloomy hallway. My eyes were squinting at the walls fruitlessly, as Malfoy dragged me along snarling, like a rabid dog.

Finally we reached an ornate door, double my height and stretched about 7 feet in width. Malfoy effortlessly pushed open the undoubtedly heavy door, with one hand, without even a slight grunt, but of course he was far too aristocratic and cold to reveal any sort of emotion.

The doors swung open to reveal a vast, majestic room, each detail to perfection. But what was in the centre of the room chilled me to the bone.

The centre of attention was an elegant table, with chairs gripping to the table for dear life, the table was large enough to host at least 20 people. 2 of these chairs were occupied. At this table Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape, were huddled quietly speaking in hushed whispers as in fear of being overheard.

"Mother" Malfoy's sharp voice echoed. Snape and Narcissa's heads shot up.

"Yes Sweetie" She replied smoothly. I snorted, the thought of Malfoy being sweet to anyone amused me to no end. "…And Miss Granger" She gasped, her delicate hand fluttering up to her heart. "Draco, what on earth, is an Order of the Phoenix member doing here? The Dark Lord would be furious if we were found with Harry Potter's best friend!"

"That is why Mother, I intend on calling him" Malfoy replied confidently.

Snape spoke for the first time, his droning voice filled the room "Maybe we should think this through"

I scoffed, I figured out Snape was a traitor shortly after that fateful night of Professor Dumbledore's death.

Malfoy snarled "No! I will not let you take the glory this time Snape, I need to cleanse the Malfoy name, the Dark Lord thinks us barely house elves!"

Malfoy raised is sleeve to reveal the contrasting slithering dark mark. He smirked as he raised two fingers and pressed firmly.

Within moments,

He appeared.

Draco

That traitor. Snape. He was why we were being treated like this. The second I hesitated, he jumped in and killed Dumbledore, I may have disliked the crazy old coot, but I never wanted to see the light fade from his eyes.

Rumours around the circle are that he betrayed the Dark Lord to go to his own kind, those snivelling fools, but now he's back again. He's not even worth a thought.

Ron

I can hear them whispering about me.

I can hear them whispering about her.

I can feel the teardrops that litter my cheeks hourly.

Yet I'm not here.

I catch the conversations, Mum doesn't even bother to take her conversations out of the room anymore, it's like I'm a corpse. She's still mourning my loss, but she's secretly hoping Hermione doesn't come back, she's never liked her. Even more now.

Now that I'm broken.

Now that I'm just an empty shell.

It hurts.

Harry's only visited me once, since the rumours started.

He spoke to me in hushed whispers about our childhood days; he was carefully avoided mentioning her, in case I went into 'a fit of shock'. It was hard not to mention her, we practically revolved around her, so he only stayed for a little while, but we mostly sat in silence.

I miss her so bloody much, mate.

I'm empty.

I'm lifeless.

I'm nothing without her.

Hermione

His furious red eyes surveyed the room, before they landed on me, the fury ebbed away and he brought his thin white lips to a smile.

"Well look who's joined us, Miss Hermione Granger, your reputation precedes you." Voldemort hissed.

I smirked "Hello Tom"

His eyes narrowed. I knew he was going to penetrate my mind. I had never learnt occlumency.

"Enough pleasantries"

Voldemort delved into my memories. He surpassed my pre-Hogwarts era, I could feel his distaste of my parents, yet he chose to linger on my loneliness and sadness, the other children never understood me, I was the outcast. I was the freak.

He skipped forward to when I found out I was a Witch, I remember that day. Albus Dumbledore came to our door, gave me my Hogwarts letter and proclaimed me a Witch. My parents thought him crazy and tried to make him leave, but then he made a chair dance around the room, my parents never questioned him again. I was so happy that day.

He then went to the time I first met Harry, at first glance I thought him a scruffy urchin, but then I realized it was the Harry Potter. I wanted to examine his scar, but that seemed awfully rude and he probably was some arrogant toe rag, shows how little I knew back then.

He then looked at our school years, surprisingly he chose to linger on my grades and how I was surpassing all the expectations, the snide comments the Slytherins made about my heritage and how I actually felt.

That's what he did to Ginny, don't let him manipulate you.

After "hearing" this thought he went over each of our adventures and every time we foiled his evil plans, but when he came to the recent past months, it was his turn to feel triumphant.

The death of Albus Dumbledore. Living rough. All of it. All of my secrets.

"Well, Well. Miss Granger, it seems we are more similar than we first thought. You feel the same emotions as I felt as a child, yet you also possess that charming intelligence and wit I possess, you are also keeping little secrets, you manipulative little girl. How fascinating. Miss Granger. Choose, stay a prisoner or join me"

"I will never join you, you slimy muggle bastard"

He was livid now.

Suddenly a blow to the head rendered me unconscious.
