15-year old Hermione Granger awoke with a start the day before the beginning of her fifth year at Hogwarts. But this year would be different for everyone in the wizarding world. For Hermione is really the biological daughter of Bellatrix Lestrange and the darkest wizard of all time; Lord Voldemort. Hermione was raised by her uncle Lucius and her aunt Narcissa; they put her under a glamour at 11 and jinxed 2 muggle dentists into believing she was their daughter.

Hermione was sorted into Gryffindor; so she could spy on Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, and was constantly relaying information to her uncle about their movements. She only pretended to befriend them, in truth, she hated them. Harry was responsible for the downfall of her father and not only was Ron's family blood traitors but Ron's father was also responsible for locking her mother away in Azkaban with a life sentence. They'd suffer; Hermione Callista Lestrange Riddle would make sure of that.

Hermione got out of bed and walked to her private bathroom at Riddle Manor. She looked in the mirror and had to admit that she looked beautiful. While not under her glamour, she has long, curly pitch black hair like her mother's, she also has her father's haunting, dark green eyes. Hermione also has a combination of her mother and father's pale skin and aristocratic facial features. As Hermione walked back into her large bedroom, she spotted her father sitting on the edge of her bed. She sighed and sat next to him and asked him "what is it, Daddy?", "are you ready to take your mark?" he asked his only daughter. "Yes, I am ready", Tom took out his wand and with it he pressed the tip of it against her left forearm. 3 minutes later, Hermione looked at her forearm and saw a beautiful black rose; embedded there. "Now, you will receive the Dark Mark after Hogwarts, but this rose will not give anyone any ideas" Tom told his daughter.

"Are you going to get mom out of Azkaban?" asked Hermione; who was happy to have her father back and now wanted her mother back as well. "Yes, but that's a story for another time" Tom said in a tone that left no room for argument, Hermione sighed and as her father left she began to pack for Hogwarts.

Hermione spent her last day before going to Hogwarts; reading various dark magical books and spending time with Draco before she would have to pretend to hate him. She was not looking forward to returning to Hogwarts under her Hermione Granger glamour but she was willing to do it because she loved her father and wanted to help him. The only thing keeping Hermione going was the fact that her father would soon be in control and that her mother would soon be out of Azkaban.
