Voldemort stormed in his study, knowing Severus was already there waiting for him. His loyal servant dropped to his knees, welcoming his master. "Rise Severus," he commanded, "there is much we need to do." He began pacing back and forth.

"My Lord," Severus ventured, "What had happened?" He held his breath, hoping the Dark Lord's anger wouldn't lash out at him.

He stopped pacing, turning towards Severus. "Hermione had just shown me some interesting memories." He paused, waiting to see Severus' reaction. "It seems your skills as a spy have been lacking as of late. Does the Order no longer trust you?" His eyes narrowed. Voldemort was angry, and he needed to take it out on someone. Severus would forgive him in the long run, and they both knew it.

Severus gulped. "My Lord, it may seem so. Ever since Ms. Granger disappeared, they have been cautious of me, for not bringing her back. They are torn over her and what has become of her. The Weasley matriarch refuses to believe she has turned, yet the others find her a threat and are planning her execution as we speak. However, I am sure this isn't the response you were looking for." He paused, unsure of how to continue next. "Dumbledore is growing old and weary. He is passing information onto Potter, although I do not know what it is. The Order is in shambles, unsure of what our next move is. Yet they are up to something, I can tell." He dropped to his knees, knowing the punishment would be coming. "Forgive me Lord, for the lack of information and trust on that side."

Voldemort snarled, then shouted "Cruccio!" He watched as Severus convulsed on the ground, foam forming at the corners of his mouth. He called the curse off after a few minutes. Severus panted on the ground, trying to catch his breath. Voldemort growled again, not liking where his day was going.

"Would you like to know what Hermione showed me Severus?" Voldemort snarled. Severus nodded, too afraid to use his voice. "She showed me and image of Harry telling her something Dumbledore had told him. Do you know what it was?" He paused, waiting for Severus to shake his head. When he did, the Dark Lord continued. "Horcruxes."

Severus opened his eyes in fear. "That must be what they are working on. Slughorn must have told him. My Lord, I am sorry this has gone under my notice. Forgive me." Voldemort nodded. "Hermione has grown fond of you, and I'd hate to see how angry she would become if I hurt you much more, so you are forgiven." Severus breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for the know-it-all in his life.

"We have much planning to do Severus, let us discuss before the meeting tonight." The two of them sat down to begin talking.

Hermione sat in the living room drinking tea with Narcissa. She had missed the woman's comfort, and was glad to be around her now. They were chatting about pureblood society when Hermione saw Bellatrix scoff at her in the corner of her eye. Hermione glared. As soon as the crazy bint had disappeared from sight, Hermione interrupted Narcissa. "Can you please explain what the deal is with Bellatrix?" She asked.

Narcissa sighed. "My sister is, well, she lives a very different lifestyle than I do. In many ways." Hermione cocked her head to the side, intrigued. "Why does she hate me so?

Narcissa laughed. "There are a few reasons for that. First and foremost, you are Muggleborn. Bellatrix took what our father said to heart. If you aren't pureblood, you are a piece of filth. She refuses to see you as anything but scum. Secondly, you are higher up in the ranks than her. You literally waltzed right in and claimed her spot. She's terribly jealous. Bellatrix always prided herself on being the Dark Lord's most loyal and trusted servant, and you've replaced her. Thirdly, the Dark Lord sees you in a, erm, romantic light. This is what sparks her anger the most. She is completely enamored with the Dark Lord, yet he does not return her affection. She's jealous he chose you, a muggleborn over her, a pureblood loyal death eater."

Hermione shook her head, "But she's married!" Narcissa laughed. "Bellatrix and Rodolphus have a pureblood marriage, that is all. She never shows any affection towards him, although he is always at her side. It's obvious her true love is the Dark Lord, although no one will admit to it out in the open. However, her concept of love is twisted and unrealistic. She has caused so much trouble for my family. The only reason she resides with us now instead of at her own manor would be because the Lord resides here. It's despicable."

Hermione mulled those thoughts over in her head. She knew Bellatrix was crazy, but she was more crazy than anyone gave her credit for. Hermione turned to Narcissa.

"Cissy, do you worry for your family?" She asked sheepishly, unsure if she would answer her or not. She nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. "I worry for Draco so much. He is just a boy, but he's determined to prove himself a man. You are just a child as well. Children thrown into a war for something they don't believe in. Blood status, is rubbish in my opinion. But I follow Lucius because I love him with all my heart, even if I don't agree with what he believes in."

Hermione thought about it too. She really admired Cissy and how strong she stayed for her family, even if she didn't believe in the same ideals. She loved Tom, even though she definitely didn't agree with what he believed in. Neither of them were pureblood, yet he preached they were supreme and superior. What a load of rubbish, she thought to herself. Yet she would follow Tom, and go into battle for him. For them. She shook her head, love really was a complicated thing.

Narcissa stood, holding out her arm to Hermione. She stood it. "You and Draco will receive a joint mission tonight. Don't be afraid. I will support you, and so will Severus." Hermione nodded. Hearing what Narcissa said, Hermione became nervous. She could feel the little butterflies floating around her stomach. Taking a deep breath, Hermione walked down the hallway to see Tom and the others. It was time for her first mission.
