Chapter 1:

"It's strange that everthing is so empty. How can Fred and George make money with their shop? Everything else is closed." Hermione said looking around. She was in Diagon Alley with Ron and Harry and almost every shop was closed – except of Fred and George's shop.
"They say that people need something to make them happy. That's why their shop is going so well." Ron answered while they were walking.
"Look even Ollivander's is closed. It's so sad. Everyone bought their wands at Ollivander's." Hermione said and watched Harry walk into the shop. She didn't ask him why he was doing it – she wouldn't have gotten an answer. Instead she followed him and looked around. The whole shop was a chaos. All of the wands were gone and nothing showed that this empty, chaotic place once was a wand-shop. She saw how Ron looked out of the window and wondered what he saw.
"Looks like Malfoy and Mommy don't want to be followed", he suddenly said. Hermione and Harry went to stand next to Harry and saw Malfoy and his mother, Narcissa, at the entry to Knockturn Alley. Malfoy looked around once before he followed his mother.
"Come on", Harry urged and wanted to leave Ollivander's but Hermione wasn't sure if it was a good idea to follow them. Not with Voldemort being back.
"Harry… are you sure?" she asked him and looked at him.
"Yes, I am. Now come on." He left the shop and Ron and Hermione quickly followed him. It wouldn't be good if someone saw them.
They had to walk some minutes before they saw Draco and his mother again and just as they wanted to catch up a dog barked near them and Draco turned his head. Quickly they hid behind in a shop-entry and waited some seconds before following him again.
"Do you think he saw us?" Ron whispered and Hermione sighed.
"I don't know Ron. I don't think so but I'm not sure." She looked ahead and saw how the Malfoy's entered Burgin and Bourkes.
"What are they doing in there?" Ron asked and looked confused.
"I don't know but we just can't stand here and wait. Come on", Hermione went around the corner and started climbing up a fire-ladder. "If we lay down up there we can see into the shop. Come on." She explained as she noticed the confused looks of the boys.
They started climbing and lay down on the cold stone wall. They could see directly into the shop and saw Fenir Greyback, Narcissa, Bellatrix Lestrange and Draco.
"It's a ritual. Draco is getting the mark" Harry whispered as they watched Bellatrix stand in front of Draco and saying something.
"Are you …" Hermione began but then she saw how Fenir came to the window. "Duck! Quick!"
Harry and Ron obeyed but as soon as they were sure that they couldn't be seen anymore Harry spoke. "What was that about?"
[SIZE=2]"This one guy, I don't know his name was coming towards the window. He would've seen us and I doubt that that would have been so good." she answered and hoped that nobody would see them. After a while she slowly looked into Burgin and [/SIZE]Bourges again and noticed that the blinds were shut.
"Come on, let's go.", she said while climbing down the fire ladder.

"What was that about?" Ron asked as soon as they were in Diagon Alley again.
"I think that it was a ritual. I think Draco got his mark." Harry answered and Hermione shook her head.
"Harry, he's not even 17 yet. You do know that he's still in school with us.", she answered slowly. "Voldemort wouldn't do that."
"Why? He wants to kill me?" Harry answered.
"Oh, I know that but he also knows that as soon as Draco will shower everyone will see it and even though he's a Slytherin there are some people that still would go to Dumbledore."
"But…" Harry was slowly getting angry. Why couldn't she understand that Voldemort would do anything to kill him.
"Oh look, the Quidditch shop is still open. Let's take a look in there, kay Harry?" Ron said because once he could feel the upcoming argument between his two best friends. "You are coming, too, Hermione?"
"No, I'll just wait here. You know that I don't like Quidditch." She smiled and Harry and Ron disappeared in the shop.
"Oh, look what the cat dragged in. A mudblood." she suddenly heard someone say behind her and spun around. In front of her stood Draco Malfoy and she was kind of nervous. Did he see them?
"Oh, look what the wind brought by." she answered and looked at him. "What do you want?"
"Oh, I just wanted to tell you, that I know you were following me." He said and looked at her with loathing. "Or were you really thinking that you could just follow me?"
Oh, so he knew. That wasn't so good.
"We weren't following you, Malfoy. Why should we?" she smirked. "You aren't that important, you know."
Suddenly she felt herself being pushed against a wall. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea.
"You shut up know, Mudblood. I know that you were following me. I saw you. Even if your hair isn't so bushy anymore your friend, Weaslebee still has his red hair. If you ever say a word to anyone about that, I will find you. And that is something you don't want, believe me."
Hermione felt herself getting angry. Who did he think he was?
"Who do you think you are? Just because you think your daddy is so big and almighty, you can't just walk around like you're the king. You are nothing and don't come with that mudblood shit. Think of something new, Malfoy." She spat and looked at him with loathing.
"And you think you're so great because they tell you that you're the brightest age of our century but let me tell you something – when the Dark Lord wins you'll be the first to die after Harry. And right now you may be alive but you're nothing but the dirt under my shows. Useless." Draco spat back and pushed her harder against the wall. "And you won't tell anyone about that!"
"Hermione? Malfoy, leave her alone." she heard Harry say and Draco stepped back.
"Sorry, Potter. I just wanted to tell Granger something. And I think that she understood me clearly." He looked at her one last time before going into the Quidditch shop.
"Are you okay?" Harry asked and looked at Hermione which was leaning against the wall.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." She said. She couldn't tell Harry about what Draco said. He would go crazy and she didn't want that.

In the evening Hermione sat in Ron's bedroom in the burrow with Harry and Ron. Ginny was in her room with Luna, who was visiting her and the two didn't want to be disturbed. They were probably talking about Ginny's crush on Harry. She really liked Ginny but she didn't want to hear her talking about kissing her best friend. Well, at least not always. Sometimes she liked gossip.
"So, what was Malfoy doing to you?" Harry asked and Hermione sighed. She knew that he wouldn't just let it be. He was Harry after all.
[SIZE=2]"[SIZE=2]Nothing, Harry. He was just telling me, that I'm a mudblood and that I'm the dirt under his shoes. The normal things. He didn't hurt [/SIZE]me.", Hermione answered and decided that she wouldn't tell Harry that Malfoy knew that they were following him.[/SIZE]
"I really think that he's a death eater. I mean Lucius is like Voldemort's right hand. Why wouldn't he want Malfoy as a follower?" Harry said and looked at Hermione and Ron.
"Harry I never said that Voldemort didn't want Draco. I just said that Draco isn't legal yet. And if he isn't legal, he isn't allowed to do magic so he's useless." Hermione said and Harry shook his head.
"But then he has a spy inside of Hogwarts. He can spy on me and Dumbledore. He could know everything about me. Who I love, what I like to eat."
"Harry, I doubt that Voldemort wants to know what you're eating in the mornings." Hermione said and sighed. Sometimes Harry was really a little bit crazy.
"But Hermione…" Harry said.
"No, Harry. That's crazy. I'm going to bed." She stood up and left the room while Harry talked to Ron about Draco being a death eater.
