Shattered hearts and broken paths

I obviously dont own them..


~13~


Draco and Hermione sat by the fire in their common room, waiting for the four students to show up for the meeting. Severus Snape was already in the common room waiting patiently under his invisibilitie cloak.

"We need to do something that will ensure us that they will not go blabbing about this plan." Draco said as he looked at Hermione with a nervous look on his face.

"I have no idea what we can do to ensure that, We already know who they want to come out on top, Now all we need is a little something so we know they arent going to betray us." Hermione replied, obviously thinking back to all the spells and charms she had learned from professor Flitwick, or read in a book.

'How about a binding charm?" Severus spoke from the far side of the room, still invisible.

"A binding charm? Cant you only bind people?" Draco asked confused

"No Draco, there is a binding charm where you can bind a person to their word, and if they go back on their word it will feel like their body wants to crumble under the weight of the bind. The pain is so emmense that it is hard to ignore the bind." Severus replied.

Hermione and Draco looked at eachother and with a silent agreement they nodded. "How do we do this?' Hermione asked

"Its quiet simple, You draw up the contract that binds them to their word, and I will cast the simple charm on it." He said.

Hermione quickly grabbed a piece of parchment and scribbled out a contract.

I, _____________________ Swear that I will keep this information entrusted to me to myself, I agree to join the Death Eater ranks as a spy, and when the time comes, I will fight along side Harry Potter. I understand that everything at any meetings held will not be talked about, and or discussed outside of the company of those who are in the same position as me.

Signed____________________ On _______________________

Witness Signature_________________________


With a simple dupliciting charm, Hermione duplicated the contract four times and held them out infront of her dad.

Severus quickly cast the binding charm, and within seconds the four pieces of parchment glowed red, and then fadded back to the normal pale yellow color.

Hermione rolled the paper up and as she was setting them neatly on the coffee table in the common room there was a knock on the portrait hole door, and Hermione quickly looked around the room to make sure everything was in order and walked to the door to let the students in.

"Hello. Come in, come in." She said as she led the four students into the common room, "Take a seat."

The four students looked weary about the meeting that was about to take place, yesterday they spilled their guts about how they wanted Harry Potter to be victorious, and It didnt even take bribery or convincing, this scared them.

Blaise however had a sneaking suspiscion that there was something the three teens and professor never told them yesterday.

"Hi and Thank-you for coming." Draco started. "You all may be wondering why we have asked you to come to this meeting, and that will be answered very shortly. Yesterday we asked you who you wanted to win the war, You all answered Harry Potter." Draco paused momentairly. " I am with you on supporting Harry Potter, However, there is some small details that most people dont know right now. Harry is to be brought to Voldemort on the Eve of the new year, where he will surely be destroyed. Harry will be taken to Voldemort as there is precious lives at stake for a person we will leave un named until further times. We have a plan to be there, and help harry fight, but we need your word, and a wizzards oath that you will help and not turn and betray us." Draco stopped to let the four students think it over. "If you wish to help, please take a piece of parchment off the table and sign it, I warn you it is a binding contract, if you break contract you will suffer great pain, inflicted by yourself."

Blaise was the first one to grab the piece of parchment and read it over carefully, He picked up one of the quills that was left on the table and signed, and dated the contract. The Parchment glowed red for a second then returned to its normal color.

Mika, Tam and Taylor looked from the contract to one another, and slowly they all ended up signing the contract. Each one glowing red and then fadding back to its normal color.

Hermione decided it was her turn to speak. "Okay, Now anything that is discussed in this room stays in this room, between the 8 of us."

"Eight?" Mika asked looking around the room, "There is only six of us here."

"There is seven of us, and including Harry Potter who cannot be here right now makes eight." She replied.

In the corner Severus Snape took off his invisibilitie cloak and the students gasped as they seen the dark professor walk over and join Draco and Paige on the couch.

"I think you all deserve to know the truth." Hermione started. "Do not take any of this the wrong way, and please keep questions to yourself until I am done explaining."

All the students nodded and Hermione continued. "I, am not Paige White. Before I reveal my true identity to you, I want you to listen to what I have to say. When you find out who I am, Do not judge me too quickly, as I have just found out, I was born to a very powerful wizzarding family, and one of my parents happen to be, Severus Snape." all the students looked at Snape with open mouths in disbelief that he would have a child. "Now you see, Professor Snape has been a death eater for years, but he has also been working as a spy, this is what we are going to be doing. My mother is being held hostage by Voldemort, and to redeem himself, Professor Snape has to take Harry to him, or Myself, My mother, and Professor Snape will all surely die." The students nodded, knowing that they would have done anything to protect their families, or their parents if they were given the chance." The plan is, Draco and I have already taken the mark, We are going to be there on New Years Eve when Harry is suposed to be destroyed, When that happens, we will stand our ground and fight along side Harry, the consequences if Harry looses will be death, you all must understand this.'

All the students nodded again. "Okay I am going to reveal my true identity, and I ask that you remember what you have just been told." With small concentration she transformed back into herself. The students stared in Amazement. "Yes I am Hermione Granger, Or Biologically speaking, Hermione Snape. A pureblood. My mother is Evalynn Rose. Do you all agree to join Draco and I and help Harry Potter defeat Lord Voldemort for once and for all?"

The students stared, still in shock that the new head girl they thought was a exchange student infact wasnt. Mika asked the first question. "Why did you change who you were?"

"Well, If Voldemort pries into my mom's mind, He will find out my real name, therefore, I changed my appearance,and my name, so I would be hard to track down." She replied

"Okay enough about this, Do you all swear a wizzards oath to help us win the battle against Voldemort?" Draco asked cutting in.

The four students nodded and in unison spoke."I swear a wizzards oath, that I will help win the battle against He-who-must-not-be-named, in order for Harry Potter to win." A red auroa appeared around the students, the oath was valid, the contracts were signed, all they had left was the initiation meetings.

"Very well, Be here, Thursday night, We will be leaving for the initiation and marking ceremony, Remember, do not let ANYONE know anything about what is going on, You signed the contract, you made the oath, and do not treat Hermione any differently, Treat her as you have been treating Paige." Draco spoke.

The students stood and filed out of the room.

"That went well." Severus spoke.

"I think so." Hermione said.

***

Up in the owelry, Hermione attatched a black velevt sack to a pure black owl, and sent it on its way, The owl was carrying a letter to Voldemort telling him they have been successful on finding four new recruits already, and that they were going to bring them in for initiation on Thursday evening.

After watching the owl turn into a black spec in the distance then dissapear into the night, she walked slowly down the stairs, looking out over the grounds.

She was so lost in the sight that she didnt even see the young man walking up the stairs towards her, until she bumped right into him.

"Watch were you are going!" She snarked at the boy, her face fell when she seen green eyes of lust boring into her.

"Me? What about you? Walking around day dreaming, What are you thinking about? Surely I can help you." He said as stepped into her personal space and pushed her so her back was on the cold cement wall.

"What are you doing?" She asked. Nervous at the young mans intrusion of her space.

"Nothing I wouldnt do to any other girl that is all alone in the owlery this late at night." He replied as he moved closer so his body was firmly pressed up against hers.

"You wouldnt." She said fear starting to streak through her body.

"I would." He said as he lowered his head and kissed the crook of her neck, biting and sucking her soft delicate skin.

"Get off me!" She yelled as she tried to push the boy off of her.

He simply grabbed her hands and pinned them down by her side, "No, I know you want it, The way you looked at me in potions yesterday, I knew then that I had to have you." He replied as he reached one hand for his wand.

Hermione was angry, scared, and had no idea what to do, then she remembered, wandless magic, With her free hand she waved it the slightest bit and Ronald Weasley went flying to the other side of the staircase. Hermione took off down the stairs in a sprint, the red head chasing her as fast as his legs would carry him.

Hermione made it into the main hallway when Ron caught up with her, his wand drawn, a look of hate across his face. "How dare you bitch, How dare you walk away from me, I wasnt done yet." He said, He raised his wand. Hermione knew he was going to cast a spell, with a wave of her hand, she sent the boy flying backwards again into another wall, and sprinted off down the empty hallways until she got to the head common room.

***

Draco was sitting on the couch when Hermione burst through the portrait hole door, tears streaking down her face, Out of breath, and exhausted from running so far.

"What happened to you?" He asked as he conjured a glass of water from thin air and passed it to Hermione who sat down on the couch and pulled her knees up to her chest.

"I was approached when I was in the owlery, The person tried to force himself on me, I have never seen him look so terrifying." She said and then took a large drink form her water glass.

"Who was it? I will kill them." Draco replied, An urge to protect Hermione ran through his veins, He knew that he was falling for Hermione, but he didnt know exactly how much.

"It was Ron." She said as she looked down at the floor.

Draco got up from the couch he was sitting on and walked over to Hermione and sat down beside her. Hermione put her glass of water down on the table and Draco pulled her into his embrace, rubbing her back soothingly. "He wont ever touch you. I am going to make sure of that." He said as he looked into Hermione's eyes and kissed her on the forehead.

Hermione looked deep into Draco's eyes, and then leaned in ever so slowly for a kiss. The kiss was deep and passionate, and left both teens breathless when they finally pulled away. Hermione needed more, She climbed onto Draco's lap and positioned herself so she was strattling him, and kissed him again.

Draco's hands roamed down Hermione's back to her ass, He cupped her ass, and in response Hermione grinded her hips down onto Draco's lap. He groaned as his body heated in desire.

Breaking the kiss, Draco kissed Hermione'es earlobe, tugging and sucking, licking and blowing playfully at it. She couldnt resist the urge to want him, she grinded her hips suggestively and ran her hands up Draco's sides.

Draco pulled at the bottom of Hermione's t-shirt and pulled it up and over her head, then unclasped her bra and tossed it carlessly to the side. Hermione followed lead and took Draco's shirt off, and ran her hands over his washboard abs. He squirmed at her gentle touch and then started unbuttoning her pants.

Hermione stood and kicked off her pants, while she took off hers, Draco took of his and then sat back down on the couch, pulling Hermione back into the strattling position.

Hermione let out a small gasp of air when she felt to skin to skin contact, Draco was rubbing the head of his cock at her entrance, She was soaking wet, Hermione slowly glided herself down onto his hard cock, a moan escaping both of their lips at the contact.

Hermione slowly started rocking her hips, and Draco lavished her nipples with attention, as she ran her hands through his silky blonde hair.

The pace wasnt quick enough, Draco wrapped his arms around Hermione and stood up, walked 2 steps and placed Hermione on her back on the coffee table, and thrust into her in a quicker pace, not too hard, but just right.

Moans or pleasure escaped from the couple as they came closer and closer to climax.

The walls of Hermione's heat tightened around Draco's cock as she was thrown into the extacy of an orgasam, and the tightening made Draco come, shortly after, spilling his seed high into her heat.

Both teens smiled into each others eyes as their heart beats returned to normal. "How about we got for a shower before we do our rounds?" Draco asked.

Hermione agreed and raced up the stairs to the bathroom, making sure she would be the first one into the shower.

***

Thursday classes went by quickly, and Hermione and Draco payed close attention to the four students who were going for initiations later on that evening. Blaise was his normal cockey self, The Pattin twins were constantly sending michevious grins to one another, and Mika was extremely quiet.

The six students sat together at dinner, Mika, Tam, and Taylor asked Paige if she would help them with their Charms homework and Draco and Blaise enganged in a heavy conversation about quidditch, after discussing working on their transfiguration papers together.

10 pm rolled around all the six students sat in the head common room, The four initiates were getting nervous, it was easy to tell through the akward silence that kept falling over the group.

"What is the initiation?" Mika asked

"I am not able to tell you that, But what I can tell you, is it is not easy." Hermione said.

The clock chimed at 10:30 and the students slipped carefully down the corriders to the abandoned classroom deep in the dungeons.

Hermione and Draco stepped into the fireplace and grabbed a handfull of floo powder. Draco said "Mafloy Manor." and they were gone in a rush of green flames.

The rest of the group followed, and one by one stepped out of the fireplace.

To Draco and Hermione's suprise there were 2 Death Eaters and a pale, blonde woman sitting in the lounging chairs in the common room.

"Draco Darling." The blonde spoke. "I was informed of your recent decision, Your Dad would be so proud." Narcissa Black said as she walked towards her son.

Draco walked to his mother and hugged her quickly.

The two other Death Eaters stood, Hermione could tell quickly that their escorts were Bellatrix Lestrange and Agustus Rookwood.

"We will take them from here, You must meet with Our Lord at 11:30." Bellatrix said and the four initiates and the two Death Eaters walked outside of the Malfoy Manor and with a tap of their wands, the group was gone.

"And who is this?" Narcissa asked.

"Mom, This is Paige White." Draco said with a big smile on his face.

Narcissa too quick to miss the longing look of lust cross her sons face, and the smile the accompanied it, smiled at the young lady, looking her over inch, by inch. "Where are you from Dear?" She asked not ever hearing of a Paige White that attended Hogwarts, Usually Draco ranted about all the kids, and talked about everyone, and how beneath him they were.

"I am from Dublin." She replied, "I am attending Hogwarts on an exchange program, Myself and the Head Girl, Hermione Granger, traded schools to get a feel for different enviroments."

"Thats a brilliant idea. How do you like Hogwarts?" Narcissa asked.

"At first I was a little homesick, Then I met Draco, and now things arent so bad." She said with a blush creeping up her cheeks.

"Ah well Dear, My bed calls, It Is late, the both of you do try and be careful please." She said and bid the two farewell as she decended up the stair case.

"We really should get going." Draco said.

***

The four students had a tugging feeling from behind their belly buttons, and they knew they were going somewhere by port key. When the whizzing and whirling stopped they where in a dark dungeon. The two Death Eaters never spoke one word since they left the Malfoy Manor. The larger figure in black moved to the door and opened it, and walked out of the room, The students followed and the smaller cloacked figure took up the rear, making sure no one was left behind.

They walked from the dungoens up into the main level floors in complete silence. When they finally stopped it was infront of a dark room, the flames from the fireplace licked the walls with light, the room was bare except for a single black chair in the center of the room.

The four were escorted further into the room, Infront of the chair they all bowed and reached for the hem of the mans robes who occupied the chair.

"What are your names?" Voldemort hissed at the kids.

Blaise was the first to speak. "My name is Blaise Zabani, My Lord."

"Zabani, Very nice." He said with consideration of the name, Royalty.

"My name is Mika Dorsey, My Lord" Mika spoke with all the confidence he could muster, An auroa of power was radiating off of him.

"I am Tam Pattin, my Lord" Tam said

"I am Taylor Pattin, my lord" Taylor said

"Pattin, The Pattin twins?" Voldemort asked.

"Yes my lord." They replied in unison.

Voldemort was impressed with the recruits Paige and Draco has gotten him, Royalty, Twins, and a wizzard who had a very powerful auroa about him. Very good job indeed.

"What has made you all want to join the ranks of my army?" Voldemort asked.

In turn the boys all replied with similar answers, They all wanted to see their lord come out on top, rid the world of Harry Potter, and his two side kicks, the human Weasel and the know-it-all Granger.

"Your initations will begin now." He hissed, the boys looked from one to the other, they knew it wasnt going to be easy.

"Lestrange, Rookwood, Take them, Mr Zabani, and Mr Dorsey will work together, and The twins will work together, you know the tasks. Have them back here by 12:00am." Voldemort said.

The four students were escorted back out into the hall and into the dungeons, They had no idea what was going to happen. Bellatrix could not help but notice the twine sending glances and nods to eachother as they walked silently down the hall.

***

Hermione and Draco showed up at 11:25. They bowed and greeted their lord, who was extremely happy with the completion of their task.

"You both have done very well, You got me the recruits way faster then expected, and they all seem powerful, Dorsey's power radiates off of him, Zabani is royalty, and the twins, I cannot wait to see what they can do when they put their powers together, you did a very good job."

"We only did what you asked us to do my Lord." Hermione replied

"Nonesense, dont be so modest." Voldemort said.

"The two of you working together seem to get more accomplished in a shorter time then my most valuable Death Eaters." He continued. "After your recruits take the mark, You will be aknowledged, The meetings will be more discrete, You will be part of my closest circle."

Hermione smiled at her lord. You two may have a seat, "The recruits should be back soon from their tasks, I want you to be here for the marking. " Voldemort said to the young lady that was smiling up at him.

Draco and Hermione stood up and went to the seats that Voldemort had conjured up. They were seated across from him, sitting as equals.

"Paige, Do you know who the woman in the dungeon is?" Voldemort asked.

"No my Lord, I just know that she was on the brink of death." Hermione replied

"She seemed to relax alot after you spoke with her, I would like you to spend some time with her tonight, try to convince her to side with me." He spoke again, his lips twisting into a smile.

"She will reap the rewards of being on our side, more then waiting for her dim witted husband to try and save her." He said with an amused smirk on his face.

Footsteps grew louder, the recruits were back.

"Bring them in." Voldemort ordered.

Rookwood and Lestrange brought the recruits in who kneeled infront of their lord. Other Death eaters filed in behind the recruits and stood against the walls watching the ceremony take place.

"The group of you have done well, Your tasks were obviously completed, and from what I saw, you did a fair job. Expectations are hard to beat these days with my two newest members, but you have proven that you are able to kill. Show me your left arms." Voldemort ordered.

The four pulled their robes back and exposed their left arms. Uttering the spell in a silent mumble and tapping his wand on the exposed flesh of the recruits, the black snake and skull appeared, The pain was etched across the recruits faces, but not one of them made a sound.

"You will know when I summon you." He said, the four new death eaters kissed the hem of their lords robe, and then moved to the side of the room. With a wave of his hand, Voldemort changed their school robes into those of a death eater and presented them with their masks.

"We have four new recruits, sooner then expected, but none the less, the people I gave the task to have done a great job. I have asked Mr. Malfoy, and Miss White, to join my inner circle, they have out done you on their pride and enthusiasm already. Follow their example." He said

"Go on, get out of here, I have things to do." Voldemort hissed.

The room cleared, Hermione knew she was to go and see Evalynn again, Her heart skipped, she wanted to spend more time with her mother.

The 6 kids walked down to the dungeons, Hermione remembered the way.

When they got to Evalynns holding cell, She ordered the others to wait outside and she went in alone.

***

Evalynn was sitting on the floor when the door creaked open. The same feeling rushed over her last time her daughter was near, and the calming feeling was back, "Miss White?" She asked, knowing not to say the name.

"Yes its me Evalynn." Hermione said as she stepped into the room

"My lord has sent me to talk to you." She said and then continued.

"Evalynn grabbed Hermione and pulled her into her embrace. "What are you doing you crazy girl, You can get killed!" She whispered into her ear.

"Mom, Its ok, I am only here to save you, Dad is going to bring Harry in to save you and me, But we cannot let Harry be destroyed so we are bringing in spy's, and double agents, Voldemort is impressed with Draco and I and how well we are doing with our tasks, Join him mum, When Harry is brought in we will fight, along side Harry."

Evalynn gasped. "You crazy child you can be killed!"

"Yes mom I know, But if Harry looses the wizarding world is doomed, and Harry needs all the help he can get, I will not let him go into this battle alone" Hermione replied. "Join him mom, It will save you, and It will give dad a better chance of redeeming himself." She finished whispering into her mothers ear.

"Okay." She said in deafeat. She knew she had to do it, but now that she knew what was really going on she accepted her fate sooner then later.

"I gotta go, When he comes to see you in a few hours accept his offer." She said as she walked out of the room.

***

Snape waited at the castle in the classroom where the students left, He was getting worried, 3am was coming rather quickly and none of the meeting usually took that long.

The fireplace erupted in green flames and one by one the students came back through into Hogwarts.

A few of the students glanced un easily at the professor, but knew that he was on the same side as them, and was actually helping them get this plan in order.

"A word if I may Miss White and Mr. Malfoy." He said, "The rest of you have 20 minutes to get to your dorms. Invisie", He muttered. The students became invisable. "20 Minutes" he said once again and watched as the door creaked open.

Hermione, Draco, and Severus Snape walked throught the cool dungeons and up to their head common room.

Once seated on the couches they went over the evenings events.

"Dad he told us we were part of his inner circle because we have exceeded his expectations, the plan is moving along faster then any of us thought,And I seen mom, she has agreed to join Voldemort as well, She knows the plan, She is strong, and the abuse has stopped." Hermione informed him

"Very well. It is late, Get some sleep." He said

Hermione hugged her dad goodnight and her and Draco walked up the stairscase to Draco's room hand in hand. Severus shook his head, 'Kids will be kids.' he told himself as he watched his god son take his daughter into his room and close the door.

***

Hermione and Harry sat in the room of requierment, Hermione was showing her memories to Harry through the penesieve so he had a better idea of what was going on.

"Hermione, you are absoloutly nuts." He said after he seen the memorie of Her and Draco killing the muggles. "Brilliant, but seriously nuts."

Confidence was growing inside of him, When the battle was to take place he would have Himself, Snape, Hermione, Draco, Mika, Tam, Taylor, Blaise and Evalynn, He knew the twins had a strong combined power, and had experianced Mika's auroa first hand a few times in Defence against dark arts when they got paired together for duelling, Blaise was a good addition because he was a very talented wizzard as well. Hermione had powers that were unbelievable and when she was around her mother her powers would strenghten, Malfoy as much as a foul prat he had been in the past, Harry was suprised at how well he could manage his magic. Snape and Evalynn were the unknown combinations in the mixture but he knew he was standing a pretty good chance.

"Hermione, Are you scared?" Harry asked

In a serious tone, Hermione replied."Harry, This world is a scary place, I was raised by muggles and when I came into the wizzarding world I was scared, When I met you and heard your story I was scared, When I befriended you, I was scared, When I found out my real biological story, I was scared, When I wrote the letter offering myself up as a servant, I was scared, When I had to kill those Muggles I was scared, Everytime my arm burns because we have a meeting, I get scared. But, I would rather be scared and go through with what needs done, then be scared and run away like a child. Harry I am scared of the outcome, and I have all the right to be, If this doesnt end in our favor, I die, If it does, I will wear this mark on my arm for the rest of my life. I will be saught out by those who will still try and be faithful, The day I took that mark I changed my life forever, and if it makes this world a better place, it is well worth it."

Harry looked at Hermione, a tear threatening to fall from the long lashes that outlined his emerald green eyes. "Hermione, I love you, You are the best friend any one could ever ask for." He said as he pulled her into his embrace.
