Four years ago the death eaters reformed with Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius Malfoy leading the way. They vowed to bring Lord Voldemort's death to a vengeance and to finish what he had started... To bring down all those who were not purebloods and to kill Harry Potter. Malfoy and Lestrange had taken the magical world by surprise and once again desicrated the Ministry of Magic and nearly everyone who was employeed by the Ministry at the time. Some of the lucky few who managed to escape were captured or killed. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy were amoung the captured.

Due to your extensive and dedicated work concerning the capture and imprisonment of deatheaters across Great Britain, I have decided to ask you and Miss Hermione Granger to go on a mission for me. I believe that you are two of my most competent and trusted employees. It is a simple task really. All I ask you to do is to fetch my sister and nephew and bring them to the place where you are hiding. I have already arranged the meeting for you. They will be meeting you in Hogsmeade at the Hogs Head at dawn in two days time.

Hermione sat up and looked around. She could barely see anything in the room she was sitting in. Drawing her knees up to her chest, she looked to her right to see a figure of a body lying across the room. She stood up and crossed over to the other side of the room. She knelt down beside the person lying in the floor to see that it was Draco. A pang of fear shot through her; she was certain he was dead.
