LLL- Why not?

Hermione- You abandoned us. We understand you don't own Harry Potter but that was just harsh.

LLL- Im sorry, I'm back now. Enjoy

*Snape's POV

Everything is blurry for a long amount of time and I sit, chained to the monster chair. The door opens and in walks Victoria. I struggle greatly with the chains but it is a failed attempt.

"Wow Severus. I'd expect you to be a tad bit more proactive. I'm slightly disappointed. I thought you'd make this fun but it was just too easy."

"What do you want?"

"Hm. And straight to the point., just the way I like it." I glare at her as she takes out Hermione's quill and starts twirling it.

"Don't toy with me! I said what do you want."

"Oh nothing much," she smirks, "only Hermione." Draco walks in. Victoria does a double take after seeing him. He's bloodied and bruised everywhere. "What the hell..."

"Granger was a little harder to control than I thought."

"If you touched her...!" Victoria shushes me.

"I told you not to under estimate that girl. She is me of course."

"You're insane." I tell her. "What are you talking about?"

"The night I met her, I put my mark on her arm. It should be Farley visible by now. She is the only person with enough power to control all of that dark magic, but first she needs to surrender herself to it."

"You'll never get her to do such a thing."

She advances on me and smiles. "Are you sure about that? We do indeed have a bargaining item." She touches my cheek. "She'd do anything to save her lover. Even switch over to me. If she has a clear mind set, she'll do it willingly."

"So you just captured me as a trading pawn in your little game?"

"Duh. I have no other use for you."

"You're sick."

"Look who's catching on," she jeers. I kick the air for being such a fool. I've lured Hermione into a trap and there's no way I can stop it.

Draco steps up trying to heal his injuries with his wand. "So how do you expect her to get out of the school barriers?"

"By now, she knows we have Severus and will find a way. Not to mention she's a part of me. She'll destroy the whole thing if she feels necessary."

"Ugh. That's believable. The power she has is almost frightening." All of us hear a loud noise in the hallway and Vanessa smiles.

"I think our guest has arrived." Then there she is. Hermione runs through the door, blasting the first Deatheater she sees with Stupefy. In the process, two more deatheaters grab her arms from behind and hold her. She looks around and sees me. A smile spreads across her face, but when I don't return the smile, she glares at Victoria.

Completely unfazed, Victoria walks behind me and holds a knife to my neck. She speaks calmly, her voice traveling the air like silk. "Now Hermione, if you surrender yourself now. He lives. If you don't, I decapitate him right in front of you."

"Done' let him go."

"Hermione no."

"Severus don't," she demands. "I'll keep you safe and most importantly, it doesn't matter what she does to me. I'll be back with you."

"See," Victoria sneers at me, "she's smart." She calls in two other deatheaters and they escort me down the hallway. 'No Hermione, you don't always have to be the hero.' I see something move in the corner of my eye and look to my left, There's nothing but a wall... But it moves again. It's a shadow trailing along the side of the wall as we walk. I stare at it intensely since is the first time I've ever seen a shadow move. Suddenly, it leaps off the ground and into my ear.

I jump and try to swipe my hands. Immediately, the deatheaters take the defensive. When I hear a voice is when I stop flailing my arms.

I'll be Ok Snape.

"Hermione?"

I know what I'm doing. I promise. I love you. The shadow glides out of my head and evaporates into nothing. I would think that as another trap, but something about just screamed Hermione. I know it was her. The deatheaters suddenly apparate and drop me off. Then they are gone. I look around to see where I am. The destination is slightly familiar but miles away from the school. Now I just have to find a way to alert everybody and get her back.

*Hermione's POV*

Victoria walks in front of me with two other deatheaters trailing, preventing any escape. We enter a large room with an elongated table and a fire. Sitting in a large chair in front of the fire place is he who must not be named. I flinched slightly when I see and attempt to back away slowly, only to be blocked by the deatheaters behind me.

"So you got the mudblood. Now what?" he asks in a low cold hiss.

"Now I get her to listen, which involves you leaving because she won't talk straight if she's terrified."

"You say that like you're any better," he retorts getting out of the chair and walking out of the room. That's when I notice the freakishly large snake trailing behind him. When the door closes, she looks at me as if expecting some type of reaction.

"You look tired," she says. "Did Draco wear you out?" Just as I'm about to answer, confusion settles in. 'Why is she trying to make conversation.'

"Huh...?"

"I thought so. I didn't bring you hear to kill you. I want to tell you the truth."

" Wha..?"

"Don't talk yet. It's not private enough" she tells me. She grabs hold of my arm and apparates without warning. The air is knocked out of my and I land on damp air, breathing hard.

"A little warning would have been nice," I gasp. She simply smiles and turns around, observing our atmosphere. I do the same. We are in a very large and relatively black forest. Small animals are heard but unable to be seen. "Where are we?"

"A lonely place. Somewhere I remember all too well being, but that's a story for another time." She stops talking and looks around. The longer I look at her the more confused I become. Where ever she's brought us makes her look helpless and sad, but I know better than to lose myself because of location.

"Tell me why you've brought me here. Now!"

"I want to tell you my real ambitions. My real past. You are a mudblood," she says walking over to me, rubbing my cheek. "But so am I."

"You're lying," I mumble.

"I am muggleborn. I hated muggles for the longest and I still do. I don't hate mudbloods. I hate how the trust those filthy humans. The humans tortured me and they were my own parents. When it got out that I'd killed my parents, the hatred of mudbloods began. They didn't just hate us. They feared us. Salizar Slytherin didn't dislike mudbloods for the hell of it. He hated that they were more powerful. Till this very day our blood is looked at like vile, but I'm ready for that day to come to an end. Everyone will know that we were first. Without that very mudblood, the wizard race wouldn't be of existence. Mudbloods will rule and you're going to help me get us there."

"What makes you so sure of that?"

"Because you know it's true. Aren't you tired of hearing people like Draco push you around because of how tainted your blood is? Don't you want to show people who you really are? You're powerful, more powerful than EVERYONE."

"You're lying. You've been with Voldemort this intire time. He hates muggleborns."

"I have been with him, but that's because he found me. I needed some way to return to power again and he was my only aid. When we've come to power, I'll kill him and his deatheaters are mine."

"He found you in this forest.."

"I was here for centuries, trapped under a curse, but the curse weakened and Voldemort destroyed it with half his soul."

"Wow, he actually has a soul."

"A soul of darkness. Just like mine and yours."

"I don't..."

"Look at you! Look at your arm. Look inside of yourself. There's nothing but darkness floating around in there. But darkness isn't always a bad thing. Make it into something that you believe is good. Make it yours. It only listens to you!" I look at the ground because some of what she says makes a little since. She touches my arm and both of our marks glow slightly. "That's the mark of the Sirian. We're both connected and we both have a power that can bring the world to its knees. Not completely in fear, but realization. Both humans and wizards will see the truth. It will even help Severus being that he is a half-blood. Will you willingly join me?"

*Victoria's POV*

I look at Hermione curiously. Her hands are shaking and I can feel the darkness inside of her crying to break lose. She wants this; she just needs a little push to realize it. Finally she speaks.

"Yes. I will."
"Great. You won't regret it. You'll be happy."

'And I'll get my revenge'
