****hey everyone! I hope you all had fun this christmas. Anyway, remember to review!


Hermione settled in her bed as she prepared to go to sleep. The covers soon made her
drowsy as the warmth spread throughout her body. As Hermione\'s eyes shut her last
thought was \'I hope my nightmares will leave me alone tonight\'.

(Dream sequence)
~~Hermione founrselrself in a dark forest. In the distance a wild animal howled to the
moon. The wind rattled the branches of the trees as the leaves whipped violently in the
air. The cold seeped into Hermione\'s skin as she hugged herself to keep warm.
Hermione\'s brown eyes searched her surroundings for a path of any kind to follow.
Hermione only wore her revealing nightgown as she pushed her way through the
branches. There were tears in her nightgown as the woods became even more dense with
trees. Hermione heard a noise behind her and let out a scream when she saw blood
thirsty eyes illuminated in the darkness. Hermione kept on running through the forest
while she heard the heavy breathing of the creature behind her. Her heart began to beat
fiercely in her chest as she tripped on rocks and her muscles began to tire out with exhaustion.

As Hermione continued to run she saw what looked like a fire in the distance and she ran towards. Breaking through the clearing Hermione found a camp fire. A rustling sound surrounded the clearing and suddenly men with black robes started to emerge. All their eyes glowed red and Hermione chocked back sobs as she realized she had no wand with her.

All the men raised their wands as they spoke an incantation. Hermione looked up to see 15 dark marks in the air. Her mind was only able to distinguish these were Death Eaters. Then the last person she ever wanted to meet appeared before her eyes. Hermione turned and began to run back into the forest.

Voldermort looked down at the beautiful girl he wanted to claim as his own from the moment he became aware of her relation to Potter. As she ran he lazily pointed his wand as he said \"Imperio\" Hermione became still and no one moved an inch. \"Come to me, my dear\" Voldermort said smoothly. Hermione felt her mind try to fight off the curse, but his imperio was too strong for her to resist.

As she stood before him Voldermort began to trial his fingertips tenderly over her face. He stroked his thumb over her bottom lip as his eyes locked onto her own. As he probed her mind he saw exactly what he was looking for. Smirking he swiftly took of the imperio. As Hermione was about to move again he hissed \"Don\'t try my patience. Move one inch and I\'ll kill you.\"

Looking up at his eyes hermione asked \"What do you want from me?\" Her bravery came back with each word she spoke and she looked back with determination in his eyes. All the while she started thinking of a plan to escape.

Voldermort studied her for a moment before saying \"I can give it to you.\" Hermione looked at him confused. \'What is he talking about?\' Hermione thought.

Hermione spoke fiercely as she saw Voldemort\'s lips smirk maliciously, \"I don\'t want anything you would have to offer. What could you have that I could possibly want?\"

Voldemort quickly leaned towards Hermione\'s ears as he said \"I know you desire knowledge...and power. You yearn to have everyone bow before you and serve you.\" Hermione felt his breathe tickle her ear and the tips of his lips caressing her skin as he leaned even closer. \"I\'ll give you everything you wish for. Join me and I\'ll satisfy all of your desires.\" Hermione felt his hand under her chin as he turned her eyes towards his own. She looked deep into his eyes as he continued to entice her with his dark promises.

Voldermort could see her resolve crumbling as he leaned closer tds hds her lips. \"Give yourself to me. Obey me. Kill for me. In return, you will be my queen.\" Voldemort slowly met her lips and he thrust his tongue deep into her mouth. Slowly wrapping his arms around her tiny frame he began to kiss her lips more forcefully as he pulled her body closer to his own.

Hermione lost herself inside his kiss. The dark yearnings in her body that she tried to suppress began to burst forth. Her need for dark lust and power began to overwhelm her as she continued to become seduced by Lord Voldemort. She pulled away her her breathe became short and looked dazedly up to Voldemort\'s eyes.

\"I only ask you to do one task for me. Kill Harry Potter.\"

Hermione gasped as she got up in bed and looked around her. Tears fell out of her eyes as she collasped back into her blanket. Covering her eyes with her hand she let out a broken sob. \'My God, what\'s wrong with me. I can\'t betray Harry...these dreams keep coming back. What am I going to do...what can I do?\'

While Hermione was thinking she failed to notice how her other hand was softly tracing her lips idly the same way Voldemort did when he kissed her.
