Hermione Riddle; The Dark Princess

Chapter 4

Suprise!!! I'm back!!! So now that my life has leveled out a bit, and there's no more boyfriend craziness I can get onto a chapter every week (maybe two chapters a week). I will do my best to keep up the updating schedule and I'll warn you guys when I'm either grounded or taking a break. Spero ti piaccia!- Catfish

"Well, then I could train you! I'm sure the Dark Lord won't mind, I'll ask him later tonight about it!" She (Bellatrix) says, and now I see that she's not as crazy as Harry made her out to be. Though I still don't trust anyone here, I feel almost at home with all of the crazy aunts and pureblood fathers. After dinner, I have Malfoy take me back to my room, where I quickly fall asleep.

That night I dream of my parents and Voldemort's proposition, and when I wake up I question my decision to be here. Was it really worth it? To leave all my friends and all I've ever known behind? Suddenly, a sharp knock sounds at the door and I hear a familiar voice,

"Hermione? The Dark Lord gave me permission to begin your training, once you've gotten dressed and ready, just head downstairs to the dining room that you ate in last night." Bellatrix's voice shakes me from my thoughts, of course I was right to come here! The Order killed my parents, my best friends claimed that they were 'just a distraction' and that 'they had to kill them'. I get in the huge shower and begin my morning routine, Transfiguring pillows from the bed into my soap and shampoos. Once I'm done showering, I get dressed and retrace my steps from last night to the dining room, where I find the Malfoys, Lestranges and a few Slytherin students from Hogwarts.

"Good morning Hermione," Lucius says, shoveling scrambled eggs into his mouth.

"Lucius! Manners, please! Pardon my husband Hermione, he's expected at the Ministry in an hour." Narcissa says, smacking Lucius' arm.

"Morning Granger," Malfoy says, breaking off from his friends' conversation, "Blaise, Theo, I are training with you and Bella for a few hours," he says, and continues talking with his companions. I sit down next to Bellatrix and tell the house-elf what I want for breakfast. 

"Hermione, this is my own husband, Rodolphus, and his brother, Rabastan," Bellatrix says, and the two men wave in return, "Rodolphus will be training Draco, Theodore, and Blaise, and Rabastan will be watching to report back to the Dark Lord, so he can see how fast you learn things." she continues, and finishes eating her bacon and eggs. 

"Ok," I say, anxious to start, "What are we going to be doing?"

"Just a couple of spells, throwing practice, and the Cauterwelling Charm," Bella answers, pushing her chair back and standing up, "Boys, time to begin, come on." We all walk out of the dining room and down multiple hallways until we reach the front door. Bellatrix opens the huge double doors, and we walk outside into the ginormous front garden. Rabastan goes over to the beautiful white gazebo and sits down. "Rodolphus, have them do Kaproun,  Stupefy, and  Lacarnum Inflamarae," I smile at the last one, remembering our first year when I set Professor Snape's robes on fire. "Hermione dear, follow me," Bellatrix says, leading me down a path into a small clearing with beautiful, white peacocks ambling about, "I think there is a good spot. So can you tell me all the spells you know and what they do?" She asks as we sit down on the lush, green grass.

"Well there's: (Pretend she's saying the spells)

Aberto: unlocks a door 

Accio: Summoning Charm; used to summon objects toward the caster (usually from a long distance)
