Hi how are you. Here is where we stopped.

"Where is that potion?"

"Here have it with breakfast. You may feel slightly dizzy" it was a murky potion which tasted fine though

"Also. I need you to change out of these clothes for today. Though you are looking beautiful. We can't have them thinking that you have freedom here. You are supposed to be unhappy." He added after a thought.

"Hmm" was all she replied. She went and changed into her skirt silk as expected and a lacy top. Telling herself this was for just a day...

Continued...

After breakfast Antonin helped Hermione out because neither had anticipated the exact amount of weakness.

"Do you want to sleep dorogaya? Take some rest maybe"

"Can you just hug me for some time?" She asked weakly

Antonin was only too happy to do that he got them settled in the living room with her on his laps. And she cozied into him. They stayed like that till the floo opened. The sound was distinct. Antonin slowly shifted Hermione. After a minute, a woman entered. She seemed in her 50s. And if looks could be a judgement she would be a very feminine woman.

Then there came an apparition pop. The dark lord was standing before him. He had decided to go towards the floo place and was caught in the road

"Sssssssoo, my Loyalls deatheater. Tell me how is your wife?" The dark lord enquired. Till then that seemingly pink woman had caught them and come by

"My lord, I am Dolores Umbridge. It is an honor to meet you."

The dark lord did not deign her with a response

"My lord she is there in the living room. Though it is a bit problematic. My lord, you should have asked us. I would have brought the mudblood to you."

"Wife, Antonin. Not mudblood. She is to produce a Dolohov heir. She is no more a mudblood."

"Yes my lord." Antonin bowed down slightly.

He led them to Hermione who was now barely conscious.

"You bitch! How are you here? I know how to treat scum like you." With that Umbridge fired a crucio.

While Hermione convulsed in pain. Antonin could not do anything due to the presence of the dark lord.

Soon her wand broke into two pieces. She looked around shocked only to realise that it was the dark lord himself.

"Lord. You are unaware of the doings.." she was cut off with a crucio hitting her.

"You will learn to not ussssse that useless Brain"

He stopped it and continued. "Hermione Dolohov is not to be harmed by anyone. This had been informed forehand. You will be punisssshed for thissss. Leave for the headquarterssss."

"And you Antonin have disappointed me. But the dark lord is lenient. So he will give you the least punishment. You will now not be allowed to work on your works. Your work is to take care of the mudblood as you ssssooo fondly called her." The dark lord had exclaimed this gleefully. Feeling he had given a dirty and tough task to him.

"Your next meeting will be after 5 months. Your wife must be pregnant by then" With that the dark lord apparated

At the very next moment he picked his dorogaya up and carried her to their room. She was conscious still but not much. He let her sleep while he contemplated his next move.

He recalled the conversation he had with his dorogaya.

"You promised you would hear me out. But you left." She pointed out at one point of there embrace.

"Well speak dorogaya. I will hear you completely."

With that she started what she had been itching to start. THE discussion.

"Antonin. I know you have been wronged but, this is also equally wrong, right? I mean you being hurt and tortured. I just couldn't see you hurt. You aren't a bad person. You have been misled due to the circumstances. You yourself say Voldemort's name aloud. Do not behave like a typical death eater. Then why. Why would you stay loyal to Him.!"

"Dorogaya. I just want revenge with Dumbledore. That man wants me to be evil."

"If you hate him so much. Then why give him the pleasure of feeling that he succeeded. From your perspective professor Dumbledore is a villain. So why not go against it and you won't believe what he told me before marrying you"

"What did he say. That I was to be killed just like my parents?" Antonin asked bitterly

"No he said. That you had been wronged and I should give you a chance."

"I need to think about this. Give me some time dorogaya."

"As you wish. I will support you Antonin. You are not as bad as they have all portrayed you."

He had felt elated on hearing this. Had then taken them to their room and put his head in Hermione's lap as she caressed him.

After much thought Antonin was still confused. He really wondered. Just what was he supposed to be doing. He hated Dumbledore with his guts. He probably always would. But his dorogaya wasn't wrong. She had been right in stating that this would lead to nowhere. He would find nowhere. Would his parents be happy with who he was. That was a easy question. They had not liked Voldemort. That was because of his way things and thought process. His hatred to muggleborns. But the Dumbledore factor also remained. What would his dorogaya think. He knew that however unbiased she told him she would be, he knew she would lean towards freaking Dumbledore

A few hours later he woke hermione up. The day had been spent pretty much completely. They had his supper and went for their daily reading time. But today no one was reading. Antonin decided that the time seemed quite auspicious for that bloody miserable talk.

"Dorogaya , i have decided.."

To be continued. What do you think Antonin has decided.? Well i know what he has decided but why will i tell you? Review. Love you all.
