AN-Hi everyone! Disclaimer and enjoy! And reviews would be nice too!

As the ball was beginning to wind down, a lanky and rather pale man with blue eyes dressed in a waiter's outfit, ran inconspicuously up to Narcissa and murmured something in her ear. Her cool and calm face did not change as she quickly left the room unnoticed to investigate what she had been told. As she followed the waiter going further down the hallways, she stopped when she heard voices.
"What the 'ell do ya think is takin' 'im so long? I mean it should only take a few minutes-" A deep voice with a thick accent was cut off.
"Keep down! He'll do whatever the hell he'll want to do to the little Mudblood! Now keep quiet and be alert." Another voice, a deeper one, ordered.
Narcissa's heart quickened at the mention of 'mudblood' and she and the waiter spun back around and quickly made their way back to the main entrance. She grabbed the waiter by the arm and instructed him, "I want you to contact Harry Potter and his friend."
As the frightened waiter was about to leave, she re-grabbed his arm and growled, "Not a word is to be spoken about this to anyone. You do and you'll be looking for a new job for the rest of your life."
…
An owl tapped annoyingly at the chilled window pane for the umpteenth time. Harry tried to block out the noise by covering his blankets over his face.
"Bloody owl… who the heck sends an owl at twelve in the morning!" he finally growled, reluctantly getting out of bed and opened up the frosted window. Taking the letter from the barn owl, he shut the window and opened the letter.
His eyes widened as he hurriedly got dressed and Apparated to the Weasley's, leaving the letter floating slowly to the ground.
…
Half an hour later, the two friends arrived at the festive Malfoy Manor in the ballroom with only inhabited with about a hundred circled tables and Narcissa Malfoy and a boy about eleven or twelve standing in the middle of it. He stared at the two.
"There are men in my house that do not belong here," she stated as they approached.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Malfoy, but couldn't you handle that yourself?" Harry asked slowly, still trying to figure out what was so urgent.
"Mr. Potter, this is much more serious then that and I believe it has to do with your friend."
Harry and Ron exchanged shocked and confused glances before Ron asked, "Who's that?"
"Ms. Granger," she answered gravely.
"Sorry…what did you just say?" Ron said, staring at her.
"Ms. Granger was here tonight. Did she not tell you?"
Harry cut in before Ron was about to have an outburst, gripping his arm. "No she didn't…How many men did you say?"
"I heard two, but there may be more," she answered. "I'd like to also inform you that Ms. Granger and my son have not been seen for some time."
"We'll get right on it, Mrs. Malfoy."
As she and the boy left(who looked back over his shoulder), Ron declared, "Let's call backup."
Harry gave him a look. "And by backup you mean?"
"Neville, George, Fred, Ginny will want in on it…unfortunately…"
"Yeah, she will…Fine. Send them a Patronus. Tell them it's urgent and we're dealing with something unknown."
Ron quickly sent his Jack Russell terrier Patronus off with the message and shortly the four sent, arrived.
"I hope you two have a good reason for us to be here at twelve thirty in the morning," George stated, still wearing his pajamas, pulled over a coat and shoes.
"We do actually. Narcissa Malfoy has employed us to take care of a problem. Two or more men are in this house and Hermione may be somewhere in it," Harry explained.
At the mention of Hermione, everyone looked confused. "Uh, why is Hermione here?" Neville spoke up, looking the same since his 7th year at Hogwarts, just slightly taller.
"Very good question, Neville. Anyone know why?" Harry asked, standing in front of them like a commander.
The boys shook their heads, while Ginny looked down at her sneakered feet.
Ron caught her look. "Ginny?"
"She got invited to the Malfoy's gala and she went, okay? Now if we're done with this, we should get going," she snapped.
The twins shifted slightly away from her. With that, the six disappeared down the dark hallway of mystery.
