Chapter 8
Three weeks later, she takes his Mark on her skin.
It makes sense, really. She is, as he tells her, his most accomplished student. It is in front of the entire assembled Dark Court that she kneels proudly at his feet and accepts the brand on her skin. It burns, of course it does, but she is the Dark Lord’s lover and pain has become her pleasure. Hermione takes the Mark and throws her head back, unable to stop a moan, as his wand sears her flesh. She hears him laugh, and she sees Narcissa Malfoy in the crowd, a knowing smirk on her beautiful face. Hermione is not the only one who has come to understand what it is to love a sadist. Lucius Malfoy nods to her with a slight smile on his face.
They celebrate when it is over, and she takes a seat to his right in the Dark Council.
Several months later, the Dark Lord and his Dark Lady are the guests of honor at Malfoy Manor for the christening of the newest member of the Malfoy family. Hermione sees Draco and his wife standing in the parlor, and after they make their bows to their lord they turn to Hermione. She expects to see many things in Draco’s eyes, but not the deference she sees as he bows to her.
“My lady,” he says, and there is no hint of rancor to be heard, only the reverence that should be in his tone as he speaks to the chosen one of the Dark Lord. She relaxes slightly and takes her nails fromVoldemort’s arm, loosening her hold as she releases a breath.
“Draco,” she says, nodding in return. She finds she likes it that he has bowed to her. It is a gesture due to her because of her station.
When she sees Ginny, she smiles to see her old friend seated in the parlor holding a small baby. Ginny looks healthy and well, her face shining with pride as she looks down at her small son. Her red hair is shining and bright, and Narcissa Malfoy is standing beside her daughter-in-law and next to her husband. Even Lucius looks proud as he watches the future Malfoy in Ginny’s arms squirming and crying softly.
Ginny presents the baby to Voldemort, who tells Ginny she has done well in providing a strong son for the Empire. “You have done your family name proud,” he says, and Ginny flushes with his praise. Lucius and Narcissa exchange a look, and Draco squares his shoulders with pride. Ginny hands the baby to Hermione, and they smile at each other.
When they are seated at the table, Ginny turns to Hermione and places her hand lightly on her arm, where the Dark Mark burns underneath her fashionable dress robes. “You understand, don’t you, Hermione? Now, you understand.” Her eyes flicker briefly to Draco and husband and wife share a look across the table.
Hermione smiles at Ginny and meets a pair of brilliant ruby eyes, where Voldemort is seated at the head of the table. “Yes, Ginny,” she says, looking at her lover. “I finally understand.”
