A/N: Hello guys, welcome to my new story "Dark is all that's left!".

Welcome to another fic, it's obviously another Dark!Hermione fic. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And she's been scorned pretty bad here. It'll not be a Harmony, and not a love story, probably gets darker as we go on. Hermione's pretty vindictive as such in canon, and I've tried to use that here, with a bit of OOC added to her for the fic. I'll see how it goes, as I haven't decided on the length.

I'm not a professional writer and hence, would request any feedback on how I fared. Please note, that I'll try to write short fics upon request. I'm really into Dark Hermione and Dark Harry based stories, and any inspirations and challenges would be welcome on that front. Ron Weasley is not one of my favorites, and so mostly it'll be having Ron bashing as a default. If you are his fan, then I'd suggest you don't read further. Without further ado, here's my first fic: Whispers in the Dark

Disclaimer: If I owned HP universe, I'd be posting twitter updates about my characters. Unfortunately, it's JK Rowling's to own and for me to write non-profit fanfics about it.

When the Light Burns away, Dark is all that's left!

She woke up to the feeling of volcanic rocks against her face, a certain chill in the air, that reeked of saltiness and rotting fish. A feeling of dread filled her as she realised the temperature barrel down, she curled in on herself, wishing for the foul creatures to leave her alone. As they drew closer to her cell, she could hear howls down the corridor. No longer able to bear the memories, she clawed her face, wishing it to stop, and stop it did... A sudden calm enveloped her as she fell into darkness.

"Miss Granger, You are hereby summoned to a trial in front of the Wizengamot, for the cold blooded murder of a pureblood witch, Miss Luna Lovegood" replied a greasy voice wearing a lime green bowler's hat,"and since you are still a minor, use of veritaserum is not permitted. Albus, please proceed with your witnesses."

"Thank you Cornelius, it is with great sadness, I'm here to present this trial for , who was a pure and innocent soul that has left our world too far, too soon. I'd like to call upon Miss Ginevra Weasley to the witness chair" said Dumbledore with sigh, the twinkle in his eye left long ago, his face showing the years as the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump stood from his position.

Ginny stepped to the witness chair, a look of pure hatred and disdain crossing her face as Hermione noticed everyone in the intimidating courtroom had. The entire Weasley clan looked upon her as though she was the deranged Bella reincarnated. It took her a while to comprehend the situation, one moment she was getting ready for Hogsmeade weekend with Harry, the next she was lying besides a gruesomely tortured corpse of her starry-eyed friend Luna, aurors pointing their wands at her. It suddenly went dark as she was hit with another stupefy, and groggily ennervated sitting in shackles tied to the courtroom chair. Tears began to well up as she realized what had happened.

"Minister, there's a mistake. I'm innocent.. I..I didn't do anything, Luna was my friend.. Please, professor Dumbledore, I'm innocent!" she begged, and pleaded the courtroom as heads shook in disgust at her defiance. The aged headmaster sighed again, shook his head, but spoke with a fierce steel in his voice "Miss Granger, you were found torturing and giving a killing blow to Miss Lovegood near the third floor corridor by Miss Weasley, she was forced to stupefy you, before alerting the authorities, where we found you lying next to Miss Lovegood's corpse, and Priori Incantatem revealed that the last spell cast by your wand was Diffindo to the late Miss Lovegood's neck slitting her jugular vein in a fatal blow. We have also monitored Miss Weasley's wand and it showed the last spell being cast was 'Stupefy' to stun you."

He turned to the witness,"Miss Weasley, could you please corroborate the incident as you saw?" Sniffing slightly, "Yes professor, I was just going towards the Great Hall, when I heard muffled cries from the third floor. Just as I reached, I was horrified to see Hermione.." a tear escaped her eyes, as she wiped it,"..she was torturing poor Luna with a bone-breaker and before I could stop her, she cast a Diffindo on her. I cried and she turned towards me, so I just hit her with a Stupefy, and called on you and professor McGonagall.. I'm sorry I couldn't save Luna from that monster I thought was my friend!",she finished with a wail. "Thank you Miss Weasley, you have shown great courage like a true Gryffindor, you may proceed back to your family. Albus, from your statement and Miss Weasley's confession, it has become clear that Miss Granger here is a threat to society and guilty of taking a magical life, that too, of a gifted young witch such as Miss Lovegood. We cannot bring her back, but this Wizengamot will provide justice to her soul. I hereby call upon a vote, all those in favor of guilt charges on Miss Granger, please raise your hands", Minister Fudge finished. Almost all present members showed their hands sealing her fate to the world."Alright, those in favor of acquitting the charges, please raise your hands" None of the members took kindly to a pureblood witch getting killed, nonetheless by a muggleborn. It was hardly a surprise, that no one raised their hands in support.

All this while, Hermione was too shocked by Ginny's confession, her betrayal showing on her face as she smirked into her hands looking at Hermione, as Fudge called on the votes. Even Harry she found sitting at the top with Remus. He was disgusted with her, for loving a monster, a look of abhorrence covering his face as he sat through the trial. He couldn't believe his friend of 5 years and recent girlfriend had done such a heinous act.

"Please.. anyone.. listen to me.. I didn't do it.. I'm innocent. SHE'S LYING!, the BITCH is lying through her teeth. Harry! Harry, please listen to me I'M INNOCENT!" as she begged around the courtroom only for Harry to shake his head in disgust. The last of her hopes and innocence dwindling as she saw Harry's belief in her guilt. 'How could he. I saved his life Harry! Time and again I saved his sorry arse! I risked everything for him! Yet he doesn't believe me.' she mused as tears fell free from her eyes. Her life, her ambitions, her love.. all shattered in the blink of an eye! Something broke within her, and it wasn't her heart. Her heart was well and truly disintegrated for all she cared. Dread filled her as she'd never be able to meet her parents. What of them! What will they think of her, were they present? She looked around frantically and found none. She was brought out of her musings with the bang of a gavel as Fudge delivered the final judgement.

"Miss Granger, the Wizengamot, with a unanimous vote has found your guilty on the charges of Cold-blooded murder and torture of Miss Luna Lovegood. Since, you are still a minor, its not valid to give you the Dementors Kiss, however, due to the severity of your crimes, you will be placed in maximum security cells at Azkaban Island for two life terms. Also, since you are a muggleborn, in lieu of safeguarding the statute of Secrecy, the obliviator squad will wipe your family's memory of you tomorrow morning. The court is adjourned. Aurors, please take her, and snap her wand."

"NO.. NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ME.. I'LL KILL YOU.. YOU BITCH.. HELP ME! HELP ME SOMEONE, PLEASE! NOT MY WAND,PLEASE", she screamed her throat raw as she saw an Auror with pink hair bring in her wand and snap it in two as per the minister's order.

Another dark skinned auror along with the pink haired one, released her from the chair and held her in magical restraints. She couldn't retaliate as her body was still shackled. "I'll KILL you, All of you.. You're all gonna BURN! OH and I'll be the one to light it!" as she stuggled against the shackles, being dragged through the courtroom. The aurors stunned her, as she felt the darkness surround her.

She woke up with a start as the nightmare ended, only thing was, she realized it wasn't a nightmare but her desolate reality.

"The conniving bitch! She took everything from me! I'll kill her, kill them all. My parents! They won't remember my existence." she murmured to the cold walls. She resigned herself to her situation, hoping to last long enough to free herself someday. Not for love, not for vengeance, but to burn the world she once was a part of. It wasn't just her wand that was snapped that day, something else snapped too, her sanity!
