Two months later

Jaiden hated being wrong, especially when everything had been going so well. It started off as a normal day, with Scott coming round after their lectures to copy up some of her notes from the day he missed due to illness at the beginning of the week. As it was Friday, he decided to stay round so that they could watch some movies and he could properly catch up on how Jaiden's life had been going since her dad had reappeared. He had been ecstatic for her when she came flying up to him the day after her dad moved in and gave him the news, and he had to admit, Jaiden was like a completely new, and more fun, person since then.

After they had finished their work, the pair of them dumped their stuff in the dining room before moving into the kitchen. Scott sat on one of the counters as Jaiden pulled a couple of pizzas out of the freezer and shoved them in the oven before preparing the salad and the garlic bread they were having with it.

"So where's Blaise and your dad?" he asked.

Jaiden put the salad in a bowl before looking over her shoulder at him to answer.

"They're at work. The owled me earlier to say that something had come up and they wouldn't be back until about midnight-ish."

"Oh, cool."

They were in the middle of tucking into their pizza, when Jaiden heard the front door knock. She stood up to get it, but a feeling in her stomach told her to be careful so before she answered, she reached into her bag and pulled her wand out. Scott saw the wand and as she moved to the front door, he quickly ran upstairs, not wanting to be around if people were about to start firing spells.

Jaiden opened the door, and at first she thought it was her dad there, except this person had waist length hair and a few more wrinkles than Draco. She gasped and took a step back as she realised who it was.

"Hello. I was wondering, is this the Zabini residence?"

Jaiden shook her head, trying to calm her nerves. Her right hand was hidden behind the door clutching her wand, and she calmed slightly, knowing that if her were to do anything she could at least defend herself.

"I'm sorry sir, but you have the wrong address."

He raised an eyebrow at her and smiled, a cold, heartless smile that sent a shiver running down Jaiden's back.

"No, I don't think I have got the right address, Miss Malfoy"

Jaiden gasped, but as he took a step forward and raised his wand, she had a wave of adrenaline surge through her.

"Stupefy!" she screamed.

Lucius flew backwards, and Jaiden slammed the door shut.

"Silencio" she said to the door. "Scott! Get your butt out of my room!"

Scott came out, white and shaking. Jaiden gave him a sympathetic look.

"Scott, I need you to run. Go out my window and use the drainpipe. Go and get my dad, use my owl if you must. Just do it!"

He ran and Jaiden moved to run into the kitchen. As she reached the kitchen door, she saw Scott run off and sighed in relief. She suddenly had an idea. She moved fast, knowing that she barely had any time left before Lucius would recover from her jinx. She grasped the pot of floo power from near the fireplace and threw some into the flames before quickly pushing her head in it.

"Minister of magic's office!" She yelled

She soon found herself looking up at Harry and Draco, who both gave her identical looks of surprise.

"Get over here, Lucius is here!"

"Quickly, jump into the fire!" Draco called.

"I won't have enough time!" She cried, hearing the front door open.

As soon as she said that, there was a loud bang as the living room door exploded, and a pair of hands pulled her out of the fire.

She started coughing as soot flew up her nose, and she struggled to pull her wand out of her jeans, finally succeeding as she also broke free of his grasp. She looked up at Lucius and his lip curled upwards in a smirk. He raised his wand and she too raised her own, but before either of them could mutter a spell, there were two cracks from the front door, announcing the arrival of Draco and Harry. Jaiden tried to move to get to them, but Lucius said a spell that she didn't recognise, and she suddenly felt as though someone had just smacked her over the head with a sledgehammer. She felt someone pick her up, preventing her from collapsing onto the floor and the last thing she heard before she completely passed out was Draco calling my name out in fear, followed by the crack that signalled that Lucius had apparated with her.

She was in trouble. And there was nothing she could do about it.
