Sorry for the long delay! Enjoying my holiday! I had to do chapters back home so I could post them up while I am on holiday but I forgot about this story so I have to do it whilst in another country with barely any wi-fi to work with.
"How did this happen?!" Hermione screeched, trying to break the metal bars. Her magic was useless in this.
"Uh, I would say it was your fault." Draco Malfoy said, sitting down in a meditation way in his own cage.
"Um, it was your fault!" Hermione retorted, sitting down.
"Let's agree to disagree... And relax..." Draco said, closing his eyes and breathing in and out. "At least those ugly creatures didn't torture us." he said.
"But when will that happen? I doubt we have any time left after we kinda just tried to have a battle with them. How did they resist our magic?!" she asked, shocked.
"They work with or against magic so either way, they're immune." Draco explained, shrugging. "I don't mind..." he said, trance-like.
"What the-? You do mind. You're just in cuckoo-land to actually be aware of what's going on." Hermione grumbled, lying on her back.
"As you say... Mudblood." Draco smirked as she yelled.

"Do you hear that?" Draco asked. Hermione sat up and looked around confused.
"Hear what?" she asked.
"Shh." he whispered. The faint sound of dripping could be heard.
"You mean the dripping?" Hermione whispered, standing up in her cage. Draco nodded and stood up also.
"Where is it coming from?" he asked himself, holding the bars to get a better view out.
"Over there." Hermione pointed in the direction of a sharp corner. There was a dark thick substance dripping from the ceiling. Looking up from the point, the two wizards found themselves viewing a dead body.
"Shit." Draco mumbled.
"How the hell did that get there?!" Hermione screeched, backing away.
"The question is: how long has it been there until we've noticed?" Draco said, gulping. "I can only guess, that's a wizard. Or what's left of it, at least."
"It's shrivelled up." Hermione stated. "They sucked the magic out of it."
"From this direction," Draco said, pointing to where he was standing and drawing a line in the air to the dead corpse. "It looks like a male." he finished.
"Oh my God..." Hermione breathed out. "This is too much! I have to get out of here!" she screamed, rattling the bars without touching it.
"Stop!" Draco yelled, looking at her, eyes wide. "How did you do that?" he looked at where she stood and at the bars. "You didn't touch the bars."
"I think it reacts with reactions and emotions." Hermione said, examining her cage. "Newton's 3rd law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
"What does science have to do with magic?" Draco scoffed.
"You'll be amazed." Hermione mumbled, touching the bars. "If it can drain our magic, it surely can't drain our emotions."
"So we have to act like crazed animals just to be set free." Draco asked, tapping his cage.
"I guess." Hermione shrugged. "That and the fact that maybe I used telekinesis." she giggled.
"Science is not magic." Draco muttered, closing his eyes. "Set me free!" he yelled out. The cage did nothing. He opened an eye and looked around. He saw Hermione stifling her laughs. "You try first seeing as you're the expert." he said, trying to disguise his blush with anger.
"Sure." Hermione said. "I can't stand this! I need to get out! I can't be locked up!" Hermione screamed and the cage gate opened with a quiet squeak. She exited the cage and grinned. "Phew. I guess female's get the better reaction.
"Whatever, help me out." Draco said, moving to the centre of the cage.
"I need help! Let him out! I can't do this alone!" she screamed and the gate opened. Draco dusted himself off and exited, giving her a curt nod.
"Thank you."
Hermione just smiled. Suddenly they heard footsteps.
"It seems the wizards are screaming." Katra mumbled. Smirking Hermione got her wand and waved it, casting a spell on the entrance.
"They're too loud. We have to shut them up before we drain them." Jorg said. The Draugrs stopped when their bodies collided with the invisible wall. "What the-?" Jorg asked, placing a hand on the wall.
"The humans! They're free!" Katra screeched, trying to get through. "Magic!" she hissed.
"Yeah, you can't get in." Hermione smirked.
"But you can't get out." Katra smirked back. Draco rolled his eyes and Hermione whose smirk fell.
"We love a challenge." Jorg chuckled.
"And when we get through, your first stage of torture will proceed, feeblings." Katra smiled, leaving with Jorg following her.
"What have we done now?" Draco mumbled, shaking his head.
