After a War

Hermione woke up on her bed in the dorm room.

"Your finally awake." Maya said. Hermione sat up.

"What happened?" Hermione asked.

"Draco brought you here and left. Iv asked around but everyone says he left school you've been out for a month." Maya said.

"You don't know what happened?"

"He said you feinted and to take care of you. So here I sit."

"I don't remember much, just snow and warmth from him standing next to me and then the rest is a blur."

"You may want to find Harry." Maya said.

"Why?"

"He's with Remus and Nymphadora." Maya said, they both stood up.

"Do you know where they are?"

"In the Gryffindor common room, McGonagall said it was ok if we went in there as long as we behaved. She knows you would behave but after the snakes thing, she doesn't trust even you much." Maya said as she led the way.

"The snakes was a required thing, she knows I had to get in with the guys or they'd be like dogs chasing the Mudblood cat as if it was steak." Hermione said. They waited for the stairs to shift and walked into the Gryffindor common room.

"Oh how we've missed you Hermione." The picture said as they entered.

"Iv missed you too." Hermione said. She walked into the Gryffindor common room, everyone was crowded into the room. All eyes were on her. Harry and Ron shot up to hug her. She smiled and returned the hug.

"How do you like your new hair?" Harry asked. She shook her head.

"What new hair?" Hermione asked. Harry and Ron smirked.

"A few days after Malfoy brought you back, you started changing." Ron said as he pulled a mirror off the wall. He held it in front of her face. She gasped. She was pale, her eyes were now a dark green with silver specks, her hair was the same as Draco's but with a green streak. She ran her tiers through her hair. How did she still look good like this? She smirked a bit.

"So? How do you like it?" Harry asked.

"I don't know, its so cool but how did it happen?" Hermione asked, wanting to know more as usual.

"We don't know. We've been looking for weeks." A familiar male voice said. Hermione smiled and ran to the couple she hugged them and cried.

"Remus, Nymphadora, iv missed you so much." She mumbled as she hugged them. They squeezed her slightly.

"Care to tell us what really happened? The full story?" Remus asked. She looked at them and sat down on a red chair. They sat on the couch. Everyone in the room was leaning in, eager to listen.

"Me and Draco went on our first date." Hermione started. "And whewn it was over, he told me, that, no matter what happens, he loves me. Everything went black after trhat and I woke up with the hair and stuff." She said, still teary eyes from seeing lupin and tonks, some stray tears falling randomly.

"Did he do anything?" Ron asked. Hermione shook her head.

"After everything went black, the only thing I felt was when he caught me." Hermione said.

"So why did it happen?" Harry asked.

"I don't know." Hermione said.

"We vcan figure it out later, Hermione needs to get a shower and change, she's been wearing the same clothes for a month." Maya said. Hermione smiled at everyone and hugged them before following Maya out of the room. She lifted her sleeves.

"Its warm in here." She said as they entered the Slytherin girls dorm. Maya turned and looked at her, then her left arm, then she gasped.

"Hermione! Your arm!" Maya said as she stared. Hermione looked at her arm and almost screamed. The dark mark was imprinted on it. About the same place that Draco's was. He did this!? Why would he ever do this to her!?

"Hurrt up and get clean do you can show that to everyone else later." Maya said after a few minutes. Hermione nodded, still too deep in shock to answer. She took a shower but by then it was dark. She was deciding whether or not to dye her hair back to its real color. A mirror showed her the reflection of herself. The hair was even pretty wet. She sighed and spelled her hair dry. She ran her fingers through it and stared at the green highlight. She walked to her bed and her arm burned suddenly. The snake started moving, struggling as much as she was. Maya must've left. She fell over and gripped her arm tightly. The snake twisted and squired as she did. She screamed and the next thing she knew, she was flying. Above Hogwarts, a black, wispy fog around her. She wasn't, she couldn't be. She wasn't one of them. She proved herself wrong as she landed by the lake. She looked at the snake on her arm, slowly returning to its original position. She stroked it softly and lifted her hand every time it tried to bite her. This was her now. She was a death eater, a Slytherin, she was never getting into the ministry now. This was Draco's fault. He did this to her. He ruined her life. She had to live, not only with a scar that told her she was a Mudblood but a scar that told her that she was evil. That she was marked as a servant. A servant of Malfoy. He did this to her.
