Blood stained the floor. It was the first thing Hermione noticed when she and Draco arrived at the Ministry.
“That's where he kill him..” Draco whispered. There where papers scattered on the floor by some departments and she was certain that the writings on the wall was not written in ink.
Hermione heard dripping and felt something hit her hand.....blood. She looked up and gasped. Arthur was hanging there blood still dripping from his throat. It couldn't be possible though it had been 3 months.
She felt a shiver run down her spine. She saw one of the messages on the wall. Hanging above the message was a pair of severed hands.
“All Blood is Mud. It must be spilled so we can be clean”
They approached the Ministers office and Draco knocked the door.
“Leave me alone.” said a muffled voice.
Draco snorted but Hermione could tell he was scared. “Lord Moleman, I have something you really want to see.”
“I bloody care......don't.” Clearly the speaker was incredibly drunk.
Draco sighed and turned to Hermione. “You might want to brace yourself. It's not a pretty sight. Oh and back away” Draco pulled out his wand and blew the door from it's hinges.
“I should kill you for that you ferret” Ron said not getting up from his throne.
Draco grinned at the lunatic. “I though you'd want to see Granger.”
“I already see her you idiot she's in this mirror with the rest of them.” Ron mumbled almost to himself.
“I meant the real Mudblood. The Hermione Granger is here” Draco said dramatically as he pulled Hermione into the room.
Hermione layed eyes on the creature once called Ron. Unlike the memory he had sent he was not hidden under a cloak. Ron was hardly recognizable. His eyes where bloodshot and his frame was inhumanly skinny. His robes where covered in vomit and blood. His face was horrifically scarred as if he had been clawing at it. The scars being filled by a strange silver substance.
“Hermione” Ron got up from his chair and slowly walked up to her as if in a trance....then Hermione spit in his face.
Ron wiped the spit away looking darker. “Draco where is Potter, and Lovegood.”
Draco shook his head. “She was the only one there when I came to escort them here. I think Granger here stunned them in order to stop them from coming.”
Ron appeared to ignore him turning back to Hermione “It's good too finally see you again one on one.” At this he looked up and Draco left.
“I know are last conversations haven't ended so well. But since then I have become a Prophet of Death. I am the savor of the wizarding world.”
“Your a brother killing lunatic” Hermione seethed. “How could you Ron?”
The creature just grinned “Ron is dead. I have cut away my weakness and have become Lord Mortem.”
He stepped towards her causing Hermione to back away in repulsion. Ron's eyes flickered at this.
“I was weak, while you where strong and you desired strength. You always loved Potter more since he had all the glory. I had glory too but I drowned it in my insecurities. I was pathetic but now I have stepped out of the shadows to become the greatest wizard there ever was. I have done the impossible. I have done what wizards have been striving for centuries. I have Mastered Death and I did it for you. I am not asking you to forgive Ron but to join Lord Mortem.”
“It's true then. You have gone mad” Hermione said almost to herself as Ron chuckled in amusement.
“Come on dear what's the worst thing I've truly done.” Ron seemed to ask sincerely.
“YOU KILLED YOUR OWN FATHER!!” Hermione screamed with hatred. She couldn't look at this thing anymore and turned away only to feel something grab her wrist. He pulled her back around and she turned to punch him only for him to grab her other wrist.
There it was right in front off her face. Silver transparent hands grabbing her wrists. Ron smiled but he was no longer Ron. Any pretense of morality was gone She looked at his dark eyes and saw only death.
“Yes I killed my father. He deserved it and he deserved to suffer as he died. They all deserve to in the end. It was a strange thing though I just couldn't get the blood off my hands. It was really annoying so I thought since I'm going to be staining these hands quite allot I would replace them. SO I HACKED THEM OFF!”
Lord Mortem laughed at Hermione's shock and horror. “Maybe if I cut off your hands you wouldn't be tempted to strike the Master of Death.”
He let her wrist go and returned to his throne. He had a bemused look on his face as he picked up the stone from the table.
“I'm a murderer yes but so is Harry. He killed Ginny but you love him with all your heart.”
Hermione snapped from her shocked state “She killed herself.”
“Ginny says otherwise” Ron said looking at the stone
“That stone has manipulated you with lies Ron.” Hermione yelled.
“This stone has given me the power to do the impossible” Ron smiled as a spirit began to rise from the stone. Standing in the middle of the room was the spirit of Author Weasley.
“See Hermione I'm not a bad guy. As long as I have the stone death is no longer real. Tell her how happy you are father.” Lord Mortem seemed to motion too the side of the room and Hermione realized Ginny's spirit was there. She wasn't sure but she was certain that the spirit was shaking.
“I...I'm Happy.....Ginny are you OK.” Arthur asked his daughter fear covering his face.
“She's perfect......pretty enough to kiss.” Ron joked causing Ginny to jump.
“Your threatening your own sister with the Dementor's kiss?” Hermione realized.
“I demand absolute loyalty and anything less must be punished dear. Eventually you can join her in the stone. You have a lot to catch up on I'm sure.”
Ginny looked over at Hermione then to the the door. “I'm Sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone......To hurt you father......To hurt Fleur.”
“Well I'd say she's in a better place but....you know.” Ron snickered as the 2 spirits returned to the stone.
“Why haven't you killed me then “ Hermione asked knowing the answer.
Ron disagreed “You think its because I don't have it in me. I will kill you but first I have use of you” Ron's faced seemed to changed as he turned to the mirror sitting across from him.
“What do you see in the mirror Hermione.” He said calmly. She realized that it was the mirror of erised. “I see us all together Hermione. I see the 3 of us the golden trio. I'm with you and Harry's with Ginny. I see my child.....OUR child running around are feet. He has the prettiest red hair. And your eyes......”
Ron pulled away from the Mirror closing his eyes as Lord Mortem spoke. “That is why I will not kill you. I need an heir. My body will eventually succumb to death and Lord Mortem's spirit will truly be one spirit and one soul with Death. We will need a new soul and my son will be destined to become the next Master of Death. Together we will bring the world into darkness. It has to be the child in the mirror OUR CHILD. I will show you that I am not the creature you despised...” ”
“Your wrong I loved Ron.” Hermione yelled catching him off guard.“But you changed you've become heartless and cruel. You are not Lord Mortem, you're still the pathetic wretch I left throwing up slugs.”
Ron face darkened “Look in the mirror Hermione and tell me what you see.”
Hermione hesitated but her curiosity took over. She whispered stunned “I see Harry and myself staying in the Forrest of Dean, Forgetting are responsibilities and destiny's. Just staying there growing old together. Oh my god I see my daughter.....”
Hermione felt the tears in her eyes as she fell in love with the her unborn daughter. “She's beautiful, she look like me but prettier......except for her eyes...she has her fathers eye....She's my daughter... Harry's daughter...”
“LIER!” Ron screamed, “You see what I see. You see my son.”
“I not lying” she said with new found courage. “I love Harry more then I could ever love you. He's kind, heroic and selfless. We have stood by each over through everything, even when you wouldn't. You don't know what love is Ron you lost your grasp of love the moment you killed that boy.”
Ron got up slowly and walked closer to her until they where inches apart. He then leaned forward and whispered in her ear. “You know I killed that boy without deaths influence. I was able to do it by pretending he was you. So don't test me Granger or I will paint the walls of the Ministry with your Mud Blood. The way I did with my own and my family's.”
Hermione shook with fear and anger as she looked into his lifeless eyes. “I was wrong......Ron is dead!”
“No......not yet” Ron whispered before pulling away and snapping his fingers causing Malfoy to return immediately. “Take this mud blood to the dungeons.....no wait...lock her up with prisoner 995.”
Draco seemed to freeze at this giving a concerned look to Hermione.
“Is that a problem Ferret or do I have to cut off your hands as well.” Ron sat back down staring at the mirror, drinking fire whiskey as Draco dragged Hermione out of the room.

“You shouldn't have pissed him off Granger” Draco said as he walked with Hermione to the dungeons. “This plan goes to hell if Lord Mortem kills you so maybe antagonizing him was a bad move.”
“Shut up” Hermione said the image of her unborn daughter remained fresh in her mind.
“Yes I guess its still hard to comprehend Weasley is a bloody psychopath.” Draco stopped holding Hermione back. He almost looked seriously at her.
“You know this isn't going to end well don't you? This isn't going to be about turning Ron back to the good side or all that fairy tale crap. Someone is going to die and if you want to live, be happy, marry Potter and have a bunch of little wizard babies....” Draco's voice turned dark “....Then Ron has to die.”
Hermione nodded “He is already dead.”
“I'm serious Granger I'm not going to die because of some act of mercy. When the time comes you must kill him.” Draco said harshly as they stopped at the door the number 995 over the door handle.
Draco looked at her with a hint of a smirk hiding almost concern. Despite what he says to insult you Weasley doesn't really care about your blood status but....”
Draco opened the door and pushed Hermione inside pointing to a shadowy corner of the cell. “...He will.”
Draco shut and locked the cell door as Hermione turn to see a figure in the darkness.
“Hello Mrs Granger.” said a hissing voice. “It's a pleasure too finally meet you.”

It hadn't taken long before Ron was passed out on the floor drunk. 5 minutes later when they where sure he was out Potter and Luna took off the invisibility cloak.
They had been waiting there since Draco and Hermione first entered the room. Draco had managed to steal steal the cloak from Ron before he had left to supposedly capture Harry, Hermione and Luna. It would've been far harder to do if Ron had not passed out, Like he had just done now.
Harry was shaking as he struggled to controll his emotions. Luna had to actually restrain him when Ron whispered his threat in Hermione's ear. Now his anger was replaced by terror as Hermione was being locked in a cell with Merlin knows who.
Luna whispered in his ear ”Calm down Hermione will be alright. Lets get the stone.”
It lay on the table which Ron passed out besides. Harry reached out to grab it but Luna stopped him. She raised her wand and a green veil surrounded the stone
Luna turned to Harry. “If you touched that you would be dead. Remember what Draco said. We have to lift the stone together with are magic. It has been cursed too be heavy so we have too be careful and not drop it.”
Ron startled them both by snoring loudly. He seemed so vulnerable but Harry new that an attack on him now would be useless at best pissing him off. He couldn't afford to take any chances right now this was the only shot they would ever get.
“Wingardium Leviosa” They both whispered slowly. struggling to lift the stone out of the room. Suddenly the stone began to fall but with a wave of there wands they caught it just in time. Soon they walked through the door and shut it behind them.
Harry grabbed the stone which was now free from it's curse and turned to Luna. “Lets go meet up with Draco and Hermione....”
“Harry, Luna what are you doing?”
They turned to see Ginny who had appeared without warning.
“You know what he will do if he finds you Luna. He will give you the Dementor's kiss. No Peace, No afterlife...just living hell.”
“Ginny you got to get back in the stone it's the only way to stop him. I know you want to stop him.” Harry said wearily.
Ginny nodded “If you fail and he finds out I did nothing......he'll suck out MY soul.”
“Ginny please.” Harry begged is former love.
Ginny looked at him longingly “It would be painful when he kills you....but with you dead you will be with me forever in paradise.”
“Ginny we have got to destroy the stone or he will destroy your soul and Luna's. He might destroy everyone's we have to stop him.”
Ginny paused her face darkening. “Your going to destroy the resurrection stone. No you can't it's sacred. I WON”T LET YOU.”
Harry felt his heart sink has Ginny made up her mind. “You know why people picked on Moaning Myrtle...

Because

She

Would

SCREAM!!!!
