Hermione could see some of her work colleagues, mostly female few men like Kingsley and Percy Weasley. Wondering who organised that evening, she decided to reach Kingsley to asked him when the light of the room turned off to be replaced by candelabre light. That done it gave a very mysterious aura to the party and the people moving around her, she could feel fresh air like if someone opened a window. When the light of the fireplace suddenly turned on, she could see that more men entered the room all wearing the same kind of clothes, black vintage like 1770 costume, and a black mask to cover their faces. As Hermione got closer of Kingsley, she wondered if that was not a trap, even if the war ended few years ago she could not stop thinking that something was off about that evening. When she finally reach her friend and boss, it seems that he had the same thoughts as her. Waiting for their host to open the festivity, Hermione and King decided it probably would be safer for them if they stuckes together the whole evening.
As the light started to grew, it would soon mean than their host would enter any minute soon, feeling someone passing near her, hermione looked at the person most like the men who entered when the light was off he would wear the same kind of clothes except than his were half burgundy half black same for his venetian mask. feeling intrigued by the men itself, she noticed it was the same burgundy than her dress. Intriguing her, she followed the man with her eyes to see what he was doing, pretty sure that i bumped in her intentionally.
As the man got closer of the stage she guessed he was their host.

He could not resist a little game with the mudblood before opening the evening. Seeing her getting closer of her two friend, an idea pop in his mind.
As he went to the stage, he made sure that he bumped into the mudblood to drew her intention on him.
Her now focused on him, he got on the stage, welcoming everyone in his castle he did what most of them would do, leaving his coven to start dancing as the orchestra started to play a waltz.
Leaving the stage, he searched for the girl, finding her near the buffet with her friends, he went to greet them as the host he was.
Knowing that she would be interested in discovering who he was, he could mind a little play with his prey before the chase.
Remembering himself how his coven started, he had to think that Voldemort punishment where quite of a peculiar taste especially when you disappointed him more than once, as his group lost the Potter and his friends, the Lord decided that he was not going to be merciful that night and because he started a deal with vampire in Transylvania, he threw his men to them, so they could be turn and be some immortal Death Eater that death curse could not kill.

Hermione thought that their host might look handsome, he was tall and had long blond hair, he was surely fit and healthy, trying to figure who he was might take her the whole evening and more. The theory of the trap might be crazy, as she watches the dancers waltzing as coordinated as professional dancer she saw in some movies she liked as the child, she could almost picture a vampire ball movie for most of it. As their host got closer of them, she felt a cold shiver running along her spine, something she has not felt since the war. When she fully saw their host, he kissed her hand and introduce himself without saying his name, his voice somehow made Hermione reminding her someone, as she could not remember who and when she let that thought leaving her mind as he invited her to dance.
His hands were ice cold, she wondered why, probably he did spend sometimes outside before entering the room. When they started to dance, Hermione got aware of the look of the dancer on them, and she thought " well, i can remembering the voice now, blond hair, ….," strutting his mask to see the color of his eyes, deep ocean blue, she knew now.
Their host was Thorfinn Rowles, presumed dead since the war as he disappeared like a group of Death Eater. Pulling herself out of the embrace, he did understand tho why she did, catching her wrist, Thorfinn let the witch in the middle of the dancing group, knowing that all of his friends would surrender them, she would have to be carefuller. As they waltz again, she felt his breath near her ear as he whispered to her " I did not think you would understand that quickly witch, i should not have underestimated you Hermione. Now as the evening just started, let's make a deal, as long as you are nice i will answer your question but not here. If you try to warn your friends, i'll kill them. Understood?"
Nodding her head, Hermione knew she had made a deal with the devil, cause she was sure that Thorfinn Rowles was dead.

After the war, Hermione took a job in the ministry to start the rebuilding of the wizarding society starting by identifying the dead that happened during Hogwart battle.
She did spend month trying to figure what happened to a group of death Eater, all declared dead by their fellow friends, but Hermione could not take off her mind that she was sure they were all healthy and living somewhere else, she remembered seeing Rowles and Dolohov moving too fast for normal wizard. Her search lead her in the old journal written by Severus speaking of a Vampire coven that did turn some of Voldemort's men, but no name were ever mentioned. As she spoke of her theory with Kingsley, he told her that wizard transformed in vampire would kept their power and gain some vampire characteristic such as speed and resistance, immortality which was taboo in the wizarding society to be turned in vampire.
She started to track any movement that could be them, she has been in Asia, France, Italy, and Bulgaria, but nothing ever proved that was them, so she dropped the research and closed the case. Filled all the paper and declared them dead.
Now she could face the fact that she should have pushed those research longer, because they were not dead, understanding that they were probably the one that had been transformed, she started to fear that the ball of tonight would be a revenge against the Ministry.
X-X-X
Understanding her thoughts Thorfinn lead Hermione into the backroom of the place, behind the ballroom where they could see everyone but not be seen.
As he trapped her between him and the wall, he was sure now that she was at his mercy, and could not escaped him. Looking at her precisely, he was sure that she would also soon understand that he broke onto her flat few days ago to place some black roses, a message, a warning for the event of tonight. She looked as fierce and wild as he remembered her on the battlefield, she caused some trouble to Antonin that day when she cursed him with an avada. Now feeling the warmness of her body, he could think how much he would like to taste her blood while feeling his cock buried deep inside her leading her to the best orgasm of her life before he could finish her. But that would be too easy without a little chase, wouldn't it?
Hearing the orchestra starting the waltz number three of the evening, he could tell that they had three more hours before the beginning of the chase, if he let her go now, she would try to escaped and all of the effort would be ruined and Antonin would kill him.
Choosing another less dangerous option,he would made her visit the castle while answering some of her question, that would be a good deal and a good game for him.
" I will make a deal with you girl, you will follow me until i say so and i will answer your question," said Thorfinn.
"Why ? What am i winning in all of this?" answered Hermione.
"Freedom" told Thorfinn to Hermione.

Leading her out, as they passed in front of Antonin, without noticing him, Antonin wondered to which wicked was his friends playing. Slowly starting to follow them, Antonin hoped that Finn would not fucked up his play.
