chapter 3
Voldemort entered the large dining room in Riddle
Manor with a flourish. The two Death Eaters removed
their masks. Harry's vision swam as he saw that the
two that were holding him and Hermione hostage were
Lucius and Severus.
Hermione's arms were being held behind her awkwardly
and her face was contorted with terror and pain.
"Take them to their rooms," Voldemort said softly and
Harry struggled as Snape pulled him roughly to his
feet and began to drag him away from Hermione.
"Let me go, you git!" Harry struggled when he saw that
he and Hermione were going to be separated.
Hermione watched Harry fight against the tall Potions
Master to no avail. The sallow man simply pursed his
lips and pulled him away. A whispered stunning spell
behind her made her world dark before she could even
think of running.
Hermione woke up in a large, luxurious room with a
four poster bed. Confused, she sat up quickly,
fumbling for the wand that wasn't there.
"Do you really think I'd leave you your wand?" The
voice came from Voldemort. He was leaning against the
doorway of the room, turning her wand between long,
white fingers. The only way out of the room was past
him. Hermione thought it best to stay still.
"So intelligent to make such a silly presumption."
Tom Riddle didn't look at her, keeping his eyes fixed
firmly on her wand.
"And you have proved your intelligence, haven't you?
How did you make all those Portkeys without getting
caught by the Ministry?" Red eyes finally met hers
and Hermione felt ice slip into her stomach.
"If I tell you, you'll do the same. As if I'd
actually help you," she retorted hotly.
"Wards, then. Unless you dabble in Dark Magic?"
"Where's Harry?" She said, sliding out of bed and
standing at her full height.
"Oh, he's around. Actually, when I'm finished talking
to you, I'll go talk to him. Of course, it will be
difficult to get him to listen..."
"Why would he listen to you? You killed his parents!"
A touch of regret seemed to show in Voldemort's eyes.
"No, I didn't."
Hermione was shocked.
"This really isn't for you to know...but I feel maybe
Harry will listen to me if you belive me."
"As if that will ever happen."
Voldemort sighed. "Hermione...I think you should know
what really happened sixteen years ago. And I don't
mean the version Dumbledore told you. I want you to
know the truth."
"I already know the truth. You got into Harry's house
and murdered his parents in cold blood. You're sick!"
Hermione shouted, balling her hands into fists to
keep herself from striking out at the thin man.
"I was away when your mother gave birth to you. When
I returned, I found my wife had died in childbirth.
That meant I only had a daughter. I had lost she who
was my soul."
Hermione struggled to squash the sympathy rising in
her chest. "So what? You went evil because she died?
Is that why you hate muggleborns? That doesn't make
any sense."
"You shouldn't believe everything Dumbledore tells
you. I have no interest in killing muggleborns. It
would be a waste of my time. I simply think...that
they need to be introduced into the world of magic at
an earlier age."
Hermione's voice was shrill with disbelief. "You
expect me to believe that? All the murders you're
responsible for and you want me to believe you
actually care about acclimating muggles to the magical
world?"
Voldemort seemed angry now. "I'm not the one killing
off muggleborns! Why would I? I am one!"
"Then who?" she challenged.
"You should ask your beloved headmaster about that,"
he sneered.
Hermione leaned back against one post of the bed,
keeping her eyes away from him. "You never said why
you abandoned me." Her voice held resentment.
"At the moment, I cannot say. Just know that I would
like the chance to know you, to know my daughter."
There was an awkward silence.
"I must talk to Harry. Would it be alright if I sent
for you later?"
Hermione could have laughed. Here she was, in the
same room as the Dark Lord and he was the one who was
nervous.
Voldemort turned and left before she could answer,
locking the door behind him.
Lost in thought, he walked to the opposite end of the
manor, where Harry was being held. A loud bang
against the door surprised him. A question in his
eyes, he turned to Lucius, who was guarding the door.
The blond man shrugged. "He's been doing that since
we put him in there."
Bracing himself, Voldemort opened the door and was
immediately hit in the stomach by Harry's fist. It
took all his strength, but eventually he was able to
wrestle Harry against the wall.
"Hermione is unharmed. Now calm yourself!"
"Go to hell!" Harry hissed.
"I have been there, believe me," Voldemort said.
Harry began struggling again.
"Listen to me! Your parents found out Dumbledore
wanted to use you as a weapon against me. When they
protested, he went to their house to try and convince
them otherwise. When they threatened to become Death
Eaters to protect you, he tried to take you by force."
"My parents would never side with you!" Harry spat,
struggling all the more fiercely.
"But they did, Harry! Severus came and warned me that
the Potters were in danger and I came. When I got
there, James and Lily were already dead. Dumbledore
was about to take you. I shot a killing curse at him,
but rather than take it, he used you for a shield.
When it didn't kill you, he put his wand to your
throat and threatened to finish the job if I did not
leave. So I left...and here we are."
Voldemort's grip on Harry's arms loosened and Harry
slid to the floor limply, crying silently. Voldemort
could feel the pain radiate from the boy through the
link they shared.
There was more that needed to be said, but Voldemort
left Harry to his thoughts. He would return tomorrow,
and the day after that, until he believed him.
