Chapter 10

Hi, sorry I haven't updated in a while, thank you for all of your reviews. A few of you have said that you want more chapters about Scabior and Hermione together, so this chapter is just that. As always I don't own anything, enjoy.

Hermione woke up the following morning; she gradually opened her eyes to see the feet of a man pacing around the dark room. As she sat up she recognized the man to be Scabior. She felt terrible, even though she could no longer feel any pain because of the purple potion Scabior gave her, she felt dirty. Her hair was no longer and bush but a forest of matted hair, her already pale skin was a ghostly white colour, she had marks and bruises form Grayback and large dark circles around her eyes.

Hermione had a dream last night, not a nightmare but a dream. She was in a place of complete peacefulness, like heaven. Yes Hermione had a dream that she died and went to heaven. When she sat up she recalled last nights dream and sighed when she realized that it had not come true.

When Scabior realized Hermione was awake he hurried over to her. Hermione shifted away. "Hermione we are getting out of here today. Come on you have to trust me." He held out his hand but Hermione refused it. "Why should I trust you? You got me in this mess, you're must be stupid if you think that I can trust you." Hermione replied.

"Love, I know that you have no reason to trust me but-"Scabior was interrupted. "You got that right." Hermione spat. Scabior sighed "Please beautiful" Hermione shot a piercing look at him. Scabior coughed "I mean Hermione." He sighed and reached into his pocket. Hermione's eyes widened when she saw her wand appear from his pocket.

"Now if I give you this can I trust you to trust me so we can get out of here together?" Scabior asked. Hermione just sat there with her mouth wide open. "Helloooooooooo anyone here, we kinda need to hurry!" Scabior waved in front of her face. Hermione snapped back into reality.

"I-I" Hermione reached for her wand, she clasped it. Scabior got down to Hermione's level and whispered into her ear, "Just trust me." He stood up pulling Hermione with him. "We are going to get out of here, today."

"Are you telling the truth?" Hermione questioned. "Every word love." He smiled. This was the first time Hermione had seen him smile. She had only seen him snigger of smirk, and it was a good look for him.

Just then they heard someone walking down the stairs. They looked at each other, Scabior signalled Hermione go to the side of the door as he moved to the other side. "Grayback." Scabior mouthed. Hermione gasped. As he opened the door he took a step inside to find nobody inside. As if Hermione had read Scabior's mind they stunned him at the same time. He fell to the floor with a loud thump. Scabior stepped over the man and got hold of Hermione, "We go upstairs and if we are not interrupted by anyone we apparate all right?" Scabior whispered. "Err okay" Hermione replied.

Scabior slowly started to climb the stairs and Hermione followed, she paused and took one last look at the dungeon that she hoped she would never return to and continued to follow Scabior.

As they got to the top of the stairs Hermione recognized the room to be the grand hall, the first place she went after being brought here. Instead of a row of chairs backward facing the fire place, there were two armchairs facing the fire filled by Lucius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy. Lucius sprung to his feet, Draco was slower but stood beside his father.

"You, what are you doing with her, she belongs to the dark lord not to you." Lucius barked. "NO SHE DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM OR ME OR ANYONE! UNDERSAND?" Scabior shouted. Hermione was taken aback. Lucius raised his wand, as did Scabior they started to duel. Hermione glanced at Draco he seemed reluctant to fight Hermione but got out his wand and started to duel Hermione.

Hermione managed to fire a stunning spell at Draco. It hit him square in the chest and he fell to the floor. Lucius was distracted by his son so Scabior found the opportunity to do the same to him. After he fell on the floor Scabior and Hermione stared at each other.

"Come on, lets go" Scabior walked over to Hermione and held out his hand. "What do I do? If I take his hand he might keep me captive again, but if I don't I'll end up back in that dungeon." Hermione hesitated before taking Scabior's hand.

They apparated.

Please review, I'm sorry if you want longer chapters but I think that this story is coming to an end soon. I hope you liked it.
