Mine

There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
-Something there-Beauty and the Beast (I love this song!)

“What is wrong? You have been off ever since we’ve been back from Hogwarts”, she asked gently while sucking on a lollipop from Honeydukes, “come on, you promised me you would tell me”

“No I didn’t, I said id tell you some other time, meaning I will tell you when I want to”

“Please, something’s wrong, I know it! Don’t leave me in the dark like this…you cant leave a pregnant woman worried!”, she joked the last part with a smile but she was still concerned. I looked into her reddish eyes and thought about it, I had to tell her some time.

“Ok, fine…its not major because it hasn’t happened yet”

“What do you mean?”, she said confused.

“Snape was told of a prophecy today by one of the teachers of Hogwarts-”

“Overheard I assume, like before which ended with many dying and you losing your body-”

“-shut up and listen”, I growled making her pout angrily. “The prophecy states that…well, I don’t need to repeat it but I shall tell you what it means. It says that the sorceress belonging to the dark lord-meaning you-”

“-Excuse me? I do not belong to you and since when am I a sorceress”

“You technically belong to me and you have the abilities of a sorceress, you are one you just don’t use that magic to an advantage. My ancestor, Salazar Slytherin, you know was one of the four who put part of their magic into a future generation, the witch was you as you know. But you also know he didn’t believe it fitting for a muggleborn to have this power, he did not know until afterwards that a muggleborn would be the one who gains the abilities but it was too late by then. He wanted revenge”

“How comes you didn’t tell me this before?”

“Because the prophecy mentioned something about it and until Snape researched it I had no idea what my ancestor had planned. According to the prophecy my ancestors plans will be carried out three days after the prophecy was told. Tomorrow at midnight”

“What’s going to happen?”, she said worriedly

“My ancestor wanted the muggleborn to use their magic for his advantage. Hermione, I believe my ancestor will-”

“Possess me like the diary took over Ginny’s mind. It cant be that bad, I mean Slytherin is your ancestor, you want the same things as him so basically I will be under your control”, she sighed

“No, we both want the same things but this curse-you could call it…you might end up trying to kill as many people as you can, I don’t know…and I do not want that. I want order, whilst my ancestor wanted massacre”

“You mean…I might end up as some raving lunatic! Cant you stop this!”

“You need to prove you are a Slytherin”

“What?”

“You need to show Salazar-”

“He’s dead”

“You know what I mean! you need to prove you are capable of holding his power, that way you wont be controlled for life by ancient magic that will force you to do things…”

“Since when are you against your ancestor!”

“Im not, he was a brilliant wizard. I just don’t want my wife to be like him, that is all”

“A bit of competition do you think”, she teased to try and break the tension, “so what must I do?”

“This isn’t a laughing matter-”

“-Hold on. You knew about this before we even went to Hogsmeade didn’t you…then you met Snape in the pub…that’s the real reason we went out wasn’t it! Oh thanks a fucking bunch!”

“Don’t tall to my like that”, I said tonelessly, anyone else who would talk to me in that way would be dead by now.

“Then don’t treat me like im an idiot! You knew and you left it until now to tell me! Something that directly involves me! Now tell me what I have to do to stop myself being possessed by darkness himself”, she demanded angrily. What I had learnt was not to mess with a pregnant wife of yours who is fully able to kill. Though I am immortal and I could easily stop any damage coming to me, she would be pissed off for ages…

“Shut up and I will tell you! You are going to go to the chamber of secrets with your basilisk infected blood and we will see from there”

“What is going to the chamber of secrets going to do! You have no idea how to get me out of this do you!”, she jumped up and stormed out, leaving me knowing full well she was right. I had only one option.

*

“Argh!”, I shouted while blowing up a small tree in the garden-something I didn’t mean to do and I actually had to look down at myself to see if it was me who did it. “Fuck fuck fuck fucking hell!”

I sat myself on the river edge while holding my ever-growing baby bump and cried.
“What do I do! Im going to end up serving yet another member of the Slytherin family!”

“Calm the fuck down and stop swearing!”, Snape appeared from nowhere making me jump

“Then don’t swear either and im not even swearing!”, I argued back

“So the dark lord told you I take”

“Of course”

“It will be ok Hermione, the dark lord is just worried you will end up turning against him, everything else should be fine”

“fine? Im going to end up being possessed by some ancient curse set by Slytherin himself, tell me, would you be fine?”

“Hermione, you are going to the Chamber of Secrets in the morning. The prophecy states that the sorceress with the power of four, and the victim of the curse by the king of snakes, can only be saved by the darkness itself-”

“What does that mean!”

“It refers to you of course, and means you can only be saved from the darkness by committing a dark deed”

“Huh?”

“The curse is going to kill you Hermione, you may have the protection from the dark lord which made you immortal but Slytherin was the one who invented the ‘slave spell’ the dark lord put on you. Slytherin may have believed the future dark lord (he had a seer to know this, and he knew who would be the one to get the fours magic, the seer was an ancestor of Trewalney), would want the same things as him but would be distracted from the muggleborn who had all the magic. It was his way of stopping this happen…”

“How do you know all this?”

“The dark lord is a direct descendent, he knows. Salazar Slytherin knew who would be the muggleborn who gained the gift of the magic, he knew it was you, of course he had no idea what time you live in or if there was a dark lord or not, but to make sure…he plotted revenge on the three other founders of Hogwarts for choosing a muggleborn”

“So the dark lord left the bit out about me dying, he said I was going to turn a bit evil”

“You could say that. You are going to have an overload of ‘dark’ energy, you will become exactly what the dark lord always wanted”

“I don’t believe you, you know too much”

“Ive done my research, ive heard the prophecy and ive seen what the dark lord wants”

“Im going to be the dark lords pride and joy”

“You will be, but the complication is that he does love you and the curse will kill you, its even more complicated as you are pregnant…”

“Oh”, I shuddered as I remembered I was pregnant, “If I die, so will they”

“Probably, so you cant die, the dark lord wont allow the only woman he has ever loved to die with his children”, Snape assured me whilst not looking at me, he was sitting next to me and held my hand. “Im sorry Hermione, the dark lord has already decided what you are going to do and I-as does he, know you wont like it. I apologise that you didn’t know earlier, but neither did anyone else, it is regrettable what is at stake…”

“So what is the dark lords plan to keep me alive-wait, there’s only one way to stop death isn’t there…”

“Yes-”, I didn’t let him finish before I apparated to the bedroom in search of him, the only other place I knew he might be was the great hall. I dashed down, losing a shoe half way down and without thinking, I barged in to see Voldemorts as he began a small meeting with a few deatheaters including Malfoy senior and junior.

“You fucking bastard! I will not in any way will create a fucking evil sodding horc-”, my voice was stopped as Voldemort cast a silencing charm, he looked angry but he was no where near as angry as I was

“You dare interrupts me when I am about to begin a private meeting?”, he said seriously but I just annoyed with a look of murder on my face. “I wont punish a woman so heavily pregnant with the cruciatus, but you will feel my wrath some other way after this…go back to the room, unless you would prefer the dungeons?”, he was cold and his eyes were burning. I knew it was just a front so he didn’t look weak over his wife in front of a few of his followers, but it still pissed me off.

You have pissed me off so much my lord I growled in my head knowing he could hear before storming out.
The nerve on him being rude to me like that!
But I stopped when I got halfway up the stairs to the library.
Shit…im going to die unless I do what he wants me to do, he loves me that much…I gasped as I couldn’t stop the tears flowing. Death or commit a dark sin, and it wasn’t just my death, but the death of my children.
I would be forced into becoming what Voldemort would think as perfect, but then the curse would kill me, just as Slytherin knew I may distract the real darkness that should be going on in the world. I was just the carrier, the starter of Salazar’s plans…little did he know that there was already enough darkness in the world.

I groaned as I realised how harsh a problem I had, closing my eyes as I wiped away the tear I didn’t notice my shoe still on the stairs.
I slipped. I fell. I didn’t see the impact.

A short but complicated chapter-i hope you 'get' it! If not then basically: As you know Hermione has the magic of the four founders of Hogwarts because thats what they chose to happen etc etc. Slytherin didnt know it would be a muggleborn to get his magic until it was too late, he decided to get revenge by makign sure the muggleborn would focus only on his magic and turn quite evil...Then he made sure that the muggleborn would die on the 7th day to make sure the darkness was done and they wouldnt try and take over as a leader etc... Thats basically it :)
