After breakfast had finished the students made their way to their classes. Draco had Charms and Hermione had Arithmancy. Since Draco's classes was close to Hermione's they walked together.

The couple laced their fingers together and talked, loving each other's company.

"Well here's my class..." Draco said. "I'll see you in Potions?"

Hermione nodded and made a move to leave.

"Wait...you forgot something..."

"What did I forge..." he kissed her.

"See you later..." he smiled.

Hermione smiled and happily walked towards her Arithmancy class. On her way Hermione noticed a shadow past her peripheral vision, she stops and looks around, "Hello?" she said, noticing that no one was near her and that it was eerily quiet. "Hello?" she said a bit louder.

Suddenly a figure appeared behind her, knocking her unconscious. Hermione didn't have a chance to cry out when her world became nothing but black.

The figure stood over her and smirked, "Wingardium Leviosa." the figure whispered. Hermione's body was lifted in the air and the figure began to walk...bring Hermione with them.

"Hermione Granger's out?" Professor Vector asked. "How odd...it's unlike her to be out..."

The others in the class were whispering to one another, it was really strange that Hermione would miss Arithmancy...it was one of her most favorite subjects. The class settled down...thinking that it was some sort of emergency.

When the class ended Draco walked towards the Potions room, excited to see Hermione after the long lecture Flitwick had. He was the first one there.

"How odd...Hermione would usually be here first...where is she?" Draco looked around, he saw some of his fellow Slytherins and a couple of Gryffindors. Draco spotted Harry and made his way towards the black headed boy. "Hey Harry...have you seen Hermione?"

"No...I haven't...why?" Harry asked worriedly.

"She's usually here by now...I thought you'd know where she was..."

"Maybe she's in the Hospital Wing?" Harry suggested.

Draco shook his head, "She was perfectly fine when I last saw her...plus she only had Arithmancy...I don't think she'll hurt herself there..."

"Hermione wasn't in Arithmancy today..." Mandy Brocklehurst, who was in the same class as Hermione, said walking past them.

"She wasn't?" Draco exclaimed. "What do you mean she wasn't?"

Mandy was taken aback by his reaction, "She wasn't there...we thought she was in the Hospital Wing or Professor Dumbledore needed her..."

Draco began to walk away from the Potions room, "Ah...HEY! Draco where are you going?" Harry called out following the Slytherin.

"Professor Dumbledore's office..." Draco said. The two ran to the statue that led to Professor Dumbledore's office. "Damn! What' the password..."

"Acid Pops." Harry said. The statue began to move and Draco looked at him in surprise. "Professor Dumbledore needed me for things involving Slughorn...he gave me the password yesterday."

Draco nods and they began to walk up the stairs. When they arrived at the door Harry knocked.

"Come in..." Dumbledore's voice called out.

Draco and Harry opened the door and found Dumbledore sitting at his desk.

"Mr. Potter...Mr. Malfoy...to what do I owe this pleasure?" he asked, a twinkle in his eyes.

"Sir...we think that something wrong happened to Hermione..." Harry stated.

The twinkle slightly disappeared, "Well now...what happened?"

'Hermione wasn't in Arithmancy and she didn't arrive for Potions...she would always be there first..." Draco explained. "We were worried that something might have happened to her."

"I see...well I suggest you both stay here...I'll tell the students to head to their dorms and for the professors to head to my office immediately." Dumbledore made his way to a brass horn-like item. "Sonorus." he said pointing to his throat. "Attention everyone...I'd like all the students to report to their house common rooms...Professors...please report to the Headmaster's office as soon as possible." His voice projected throughout the entire school.

"Professor what if Hermione's in danger...what if Voldemort..." Draco tensed. "What if he's gotten his hands on her?"

Draco tightened his hand into a fist.

"You need not worry Mr. Potter...Mr. Malfoy...we will find her...we will..."

Draco looked away from the two and thought to himself, "Hermione...PLEASE be safe..."
