Snape knew that something had gone wrong when Granger and Draco had gotten back from the private meeting with the dark lord. Granger had gone straight to her dorm room without hanging about or talking to Draco and he looked paler than normal. Severus tried to talk to them but Granger told him to leave her alone and Draco said he wasn’t ready. Saturday flew by without any sighting of either student and the elves said that neither had eaten anything. Finally, as Sunday was coming to an end and another school week would be coming, Severus had a house-elf bring Hermione in to his office, he’d considered having one bring Draco but figured he’d talk to him later.
“You wanted to see me, Headmaster?” Hermione said formally from just inside the doorway. She wore jeans and a sweater, it was almost like she was trying to hide any patch of skin that may entice him.
“Come in and close the door please, Miss Granger” He emphasized her formal name. She did as she was told but even with the door shut and the intimacy of the situation she remained frigidly standing in front of the door watching him angrily and a little wearily “Do have a seat”
“I’d rather not” She answered honestly.
“Are you afraid of me?” Severus looked at her curiously “If you are” He started walking towards her “You’ve picked one hell of a time to be”
“I always thought…” Hermione started before lowering her eyes to her hands and trying again “I always thought that you were a good man…someone who was fighting for the right side but…but…I saw that potion” She glared at him around the tears flooding her eyes “I watched what it would do to muggleborns if he wins…what it’ll do to me if I don’t make him happy at the next meeting”
“The Core Ripping Potion” He said with a sigh “I never meant…Hermione” She turned away from his as he got closer “What do you want from me?”
“What do you mean?” She asked, her eyes shining up at him even as anger bubbled up in him.
“You act as if you’re my girlfriend” He snapped “Or my wife. You want me to be a good person and I thought that with your new plans for this war you understood that sometimes to get the results you want you have to do some unsavory things”
“For the greater good” Hermione whispered to herself “I just don’t think I fully understand that” She was shaking a little “And I don’t know what to do now…do I run?”
“No” Severus answered “If you run they will find you and it will be just as horrible if not worse”
“Then what?” Hermione asked, she wanted to hate him for making that potion but she couldn’t be “Do I…make a potion or…spell or something?”
“No” Severus answered “The dark lord…he wants to see how far you are willing to go with your anger. He is not a stupid and he knows that you are only coming to him to prove something to someone” She nodded because for the most part it was true “He wants you to fail for the obvious reasons and he expects you to fail because he knows or thinks that you are too weak to be dark”
“I am too weak” Hermione whispered “I thought that it would be simple…”
“Hermione” Snape interrupted “In order to make things better you’re going to have to deal with the shadier spots in this world”
“What do you mean?” She asked.
“You’re going to have to kill someone” He answered “And it’s going to have to be someone of stature not just some random person off the street”
“But…” Hermione broke and started to sob uncontrollably “Who…how do I choose?”
“I know you are not a Slytherin so you won’t do it for gain” He said “And I can’t tell you who to choose but the opportunity will present itself at some point”
“And if it doesn’t?” She asked.
“Now that you know what you must do, opportunities will be presented everywhere” He promised “The hard part is picking the person”
“I’ll be choosing who lives and who dies” Hermione stated.
“Sometimes” He answered wisely “When the opportunity presents itself the decision will be simple”

As Monday rolled around Hermione looked around the student body in a new light. There were students, like most of the Hufflepuffs, that she didn’t know and then there were friends like Neville or Luna and then there were people she got along with for the sake of others like Ginny, Lavender and the Patil twins. There were Ravenclaws…her friendships with them were hit or miss sometimes they respected her intelligence and drive and other times they hated her for it. But was that a reason to kill someone…and was there someone more “worthy” of being killed for Voldemort? There were always the Slytherins but she was pretty sure murdering Crabbe or Goyle would only make the dark lord happy that he didn’t have to waste his time doing it. Plus, there was also the fact that just about everyone in Slytherin was on Voldemort’s side or just a pureblood therefore he didn’t want to spill their precious blood.
The days crawled by, the studying that had once been so invigorating to Hermione was now just mundane and bothersome. She couldn’t keep her mind on anything other than figuring out what she was going to do and numerous times Draco had to talk her out of writing to Harry about what she’d done. He was surprisingly supportive and there for her though she suspected it had more to do with Snape than his own thoughts. They did their homework together which usually consisted of him pulling her back from her thoughts to work. Her grades in that one week only suffered a little but give another week and she would be in trouble. By the time Saturday was upon them again Hermione was nearly insane with her own thoughts. She tried to work out what Snape had told her but thought that he’d just been talking sweet to her.
“We’ve only got fourteen more days” Draco gently reminded her as they sat down by the Black Lake in the afternoon after they’d been studying all morning “Do you…”
“I have a plan” She said softly while looking over the ice that still covered the lake. It was a surprisingly warm day for mid-February and even though they had to use a warming charm on the blanket that they were sitting on it almost felt like Spring.
“And?” He pressed.
“I’m going to kill someone” Hermione said “But who…I don’t know yet”
“Fourteen days Hermione” Draco said a little more forcefully “Only fourteen and you still don’t know who you’re going to…” He made the motion of slicing his neck.
“It’s not like I’ve done this before, Malfoy!” Hermione hissed at him “What do you suggest?!” An owl landed on the ground near her and she snatched the letter before shooing the bird away with an annoyed wave of her hand. She read the letter and her breath caught in her throat, her hands shook and the ringing in her ears was nearly deafening her. She was angry and wanted to scream at the top of her lungs and even opened her mouth to do so before she snapped it shut, she closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath “I know who I am going to kill but I am going to need some help”
~~~//~~~
Hermione needed help and that was true however she told him that she would have to come up with a plan first before she brought this up to him and anyone else who may be willing to help them. She walked toward her private dorm, she tried to walk normally and to keep her anger in check but it was becoming harder and harder.
“Hermione” Neville came up to her “How is everything, you’ve been…distant…”
“I’m fine, Neville” She answered “Really I am…I’m just a little in over my head with homework and therefore unable to be as free as everyone else”
“Well…okay” He said, scratching the back of his neck “We’re, um, having a meeting tomorrow night to discuss Luna’s kidnapping, your attack at that time and about Ginny choosing to go home” He looked at her for a moment before adding “Are you going to come?”
“I don’t think so” She answered “I really don’t want to talk about the attack, there’s no news on Luna’s condition or whereabouts and what can you tell me about Ginny’s leaving that I don’t already know?”
“I guess” He frowned “Tell me if you need someone to talk to”
“Thank you, Neville” Hermione said as she turned away from him and continued up the stairs.
Neville didn’t need to know what she was planning, he didn’t need to know that she was turning in to the very monster they were fighting against. She changed her course and made her way to the headmasters office and knocked on his door. It was answered almost immediately and he moved aside after a moment of looking at her. She could tell that he knew she knew what it was she wanted to do and he was willing to listen even if he couldn’t help.
“I have to learn the killing curse” She said once the door was shut and he raised a brow at her.
“No, you don’t” He answered “That would rip your soul apart”
“But I need to kill someone and I know who now I need to learn the spell” She said passionately and he nodded.
“Very good” Severus answered “But you don’t need to learn that spell. You can kill without it and keep your soul intact”
“Like a muggle murder?” She guessed and he nodded “I guess”
“What’s your plan?” He asked.
“Kidnapping” She said “Bringing my victim before the dark lord and using the Crucio torture spell that I know how to use…with any luck I won’t have to murder, maybe he’ll be satisfied with the torture”
“He won’t” Severus said honestly “He’s going to have you murder this person…who is it, by the way?”
“Not now” She said “You’ll see at the meeting”
