Punishments
It had been three months since the battle of hogwarts had finished, and the Order had lost. For some messed up reason Hermione had been forced to watch her friends be tortured and lose their sense of self, then watching them be fed a whole new personality and become entirely different people with different memories. She was forced to watch their faces when they looked at her go from friendship or sadness and pity, to desperation and despair, ending in hatred.
It had been three weeks since her last friend had been tortured. She remembered that one quite well Luna had gone from the loving forgiving person that Hermione knew to a cold hating woman who looked bitter. The worst part was that Hermione had to watch that whole transition, had to watch the kindness slowly fade from Luna’s gaze. Suddenly as Hermione was deep in thought she heard the door on her cell turn, it was rather close to lunch’s time she thought. When the door opened she was shocked to see who stepped through, she recognized his green eyes and his brown hair instantly, however his features she noticed had become more sharp and his eyes more cold, he looked bitter. She finally drew the courage to speak. “H-Harry is that you?” Her words came out small and weak his words however were strong and sure. “Yes it is me Granger.” His words word sharp. And even though she knew it was wrong she suddenly sobbed and threw her arms around him hugging him tightly. He pushed her off with force. “Keep your filthy hands of me.” The words were so bitter and she remembered what he had endured. Suddenly she was in a ball on the floor crying and she couldn’t stop the sobs that ripped themselves from her throat.“Harry I am so ve-“ she was cut off. “Do not try and give me your pity, don’t want it.” The words were so cruel and sharp that they hurt more than a thousand knives cutting her. Suddenly she realized this was her punishment, her best friend was going to be in charge of her and he was cruel and hating. That was what she had to suffer through.
Suddenly Harry’s arms pulled her up and he began pulling her roughly through the several halls and stairs until finally he stopped abruptly at a door. Harry knocked on the door and once it swung open she saw who was in there she felt her features twist. Voldemort was in the middle of the room accompanied by the Malfoy family. Hermione was dropped in the “Is it my turn to have my whole goddamn personality?” The words came out sharp just how she wanted. “Unfortunately no” spoke a voice she had not heard in a long time, it was Draco Malfoy he looked just as cruel and evil as she remembered. “Then what the hell do you want from me?!” Even Voldemort seemed shocked by the force of her voice. Hermione’s skin crawled when Voldemort spoke.
“Now now miss Granger calm down we are not going to do to you what we did to your friends although it was rather entertaining to watch you suffer while your friends suffered, your punishment will be something to cause you more pain then even that.” He paused and she glimpsed at Harry and he looked shocked at Voldemort’s words. “Well dark lord what is my punishment?” She ask letting her anger and resentment drip from her every word. Suddenly she heard a laugh and it was horrifying. “Oh miss Granger you want to know your punishment let me show you. Draco?” Malfoy stepped forward. “Hermione Granger you are now to be my obedient wife and you do not have an option.”
