Hermione Riddle; The Dark Princess

Chapter 2

Disclaimer- I very clearly don't own Harry Potter or anything else J.K. Rowling has published/approved for the HP universe, this is just a story I decided to write because why not.

Hermione's POV-

We arrive at the gates of the beautiful mansion, and Lucius is quick to usher me inside where a very pissed looking Narcissa stands in the entryway and begins to yell at Mr. Malfoy.

"Where have you been! The Dark Lord has been waiting since Draco arrived and told him that you were talking with the bookworm mudblood!" she screams, not noticing me standing next to the door,

"Well dear, I've actually found a possible new Death Eater, Ms. Bookworm Mudblood as you called her," he says and gestures towards me, "the Order decided to kill her parents because they were getting in the way. Of course, we can take her to the Dark Lord so he can make sure that she's not lying." Lucius says and we march past Mrs. Malfoy into the office where You-Know-Who was. He knocks three times before a very ghastly voice tells us to come in.

"My Lord," Lucius says and bows, "I have Hermione Granger from the Golden Trio, she says that the Order killed her parents because they were a distraction. She would like to get revenge by becoming a Death Eater and killing them." Voldemort gestures for me to come forward, so I comply and slowly bow once I reach the desk.

"Ms. Granger, you may rise. I understand you want revenge, but this might be a setup to kill me. Is it ok if I put you under Vertassium and go into your mind?" Voldemort says, and I nod my head, unsure what I should do next, "You may want to sit down, and drink this." He orders and I sit down on the couch and drink the water-like liquid Lucius hands me. "Alright, let's begin. Is Hermione Jean Granger you're real name?" Why would he ask me that of all questions?

"Yes." I hear myself say, "Harry Potter sometimes calls me 'Mione though."

"And is it true that the Order of the Phoenix killed your parents, Wilson and Marie Granger?"

"Yes, they did."

"Did the Order send you here on any missions?" Voldemort says, writing everything I say down on some parchment.

"No, I came on my own accord"

Voldemort finishes writing down my answers and says, "She's telling the truth, the Vertassium will probably wear off in the next thirty seconds," he puts down the parchment and motions to Lucius, "Spread the news to my inner circle that there will be a dinner meeting in a week's time. For now, Hermione you have one week to make your decision about joining the Death Eaters, during this week, you will remain inside and when anyone but myself and the Malfoy's are home, don't leave the hallway you stay in. Lucius, take her to the South East wing and put her room across from Draco's. Remember, Hermione, one week." You-Know-Who says, and Mr. Malfoy and I walk out of the office to the South East wing.

"This will be your room while you stay here, if you press and hold the button next to your bed, think of what you need, and it will appear wherever you want it to go. Enjoy your stay, Ms. Granger. Oh, and before I forget, dinner is at seven o'clock sharp, and wear something nice. I'll send Draco over to show you where the dining room is. Good day." Lucius says as we stop next to a door with a silver plaque in the center with the words Ms. Granger on it.

"Thanks, Mr. Malfoy, have a good day!" I say and step into my temporary room. Woah. I think to myself, looking around at all the space. The front room alone could be the size of my house. I walk through the door and close it behind me, noticing the light switch on the side. I flick on the lights and a warm glow emits from the ceiling, where no lights are visible. I walk through the front room and into the mini-living room behind it, gaping at the size of it. I see a kitchenette at the back, and what looks like a dining area next to the bar thing. There's a door to my right so I go inside and find my bedroom, with a queen-sized bed and a walk-in closet which has no clothes in it. Great. I walk into the bathroom and I'm blown away. The shower looks like some sort of crazy machine from the future with all its buttons. I walk over to my bed and check the clock. Shoot! It's already at six o'clock. I need to start getting ready now, or else I might be late. I rush over to the button that Lucius told me about. I quickly press it and think of the dress I want to wear tonight, something simple but fancy. Sure enough, within a second it appears on my bed. I grab a towel from the stack in the bathroom and hop into the shower, randomly pushing buttons until the water starts. I turn a few water droplets into soap, shampoo, conditioner, and a razor and begin on washing my body and hair. Once I'm done with my shower, I look at the clock again, six twenty. Shoot, I spent longer than expected in the shower. I slip on my beautiful emerald green dress and put on a basic necklace and earrings I got from the magical button. By the time I'm done with that, it's already six thirty. I rush back into the bathroom and brush my teeth and dry my hair using a spell. I let my wand pick my hairstyle and before I know it, it's six fifty. Malfoy should be here in a few minutes. I patiently wait for three minutes until I hear a firm knock on my door. Why am I so nervous all of a sudden? I rush over to the door and open it to a bored looking Malfoy.

"Come on lady, time for dinner. Wait, Granger?"
