Hermione awoke early in the morning, by herself. Where's Draco? She thought. She didn't remember him leaving last night. She grabbed her wand off the table and made her way into the hallway. As soon as she got to the stairs someone grabbed her and covered her mouth. She tried to scream but the person pulled her away and held something to her neck. She closed her eyes and tried to think of something, but couldn't. She tried to kick the person, but it was no use. The person yanked her necklace off her neck, and threw it away. Then Hermione felt strange, like she was being pushed into a tube. She knew she was aparating somewhere. She closed her eyes, and hoped she wasn't going where she thought she was.

Draco carried the breakfast tray up to the room. He figured it would be nice for Hermione to relax for once. He opened the door, and found no one. He set the tray down and walked back down the hallyway. Near the stairs, in the shadows of a corner he saw something shining. He walked over and picked it up, it was Hermione's necklace. Oh no... He thought. They found us, but how? I was so careful... He thought to himself. He ran down the stairs and into the foyer, he grabbed floo powder that was sitting neck to the fireplace and threw it into the fire. "Malfoy Manor." He said, and stepped into the green flames.

As he entered his living room, he saw Bellatrix holding a scared Hermione by the hair. His mother with a concerned look on her face, sat on the chair across the room, Yaxley behind her. "Let her go." He said to Bellatrix.

"Ah ah ahh." She said evilly holding her wand to Hermione's head. "The Dark Lord will decide what to do with her." Hermione's eyes widened at the mention of Voldemort. Draco held his wand up at Bellatrix, and a cold voice spoke behind him.

"I wouldn't do that, if I were you, Draco." Voldemort said.

"Let her go." He said once more.

"I don't think we can do that just yet." He said. "You see, I've learned something, Draco. That if you want someone to do something, you must use someone they care about against them." Draco turned to face him, and he was not there. "You see Draco," Voldemort said from behind him, and Draco quickly turned to see Voldemort staring at him coldly. "You have not been doing what I have asked, you have been disobeing my orders. Maybe now that the girl you love life is on the line, you'll do what I ask."

"Let her go, I'll kill Dumbledore." Draco quickly said.

"You see, it's not that simple. How am I to know that if I let her go, you will do your duties?" Voldemort asked, while walking towards Hermione. "You have already failed to do so twice." Draco's heart was racing, he knew what Voldemort was going to say, and he would do anything to prevent it.

"Kill Dumbledore, and you get her back. If you don't, she dies." He said and Hermione's eyes widened. Voldemorts laughter filled the air. He reached out, and touched Hermione's face. "It would be a pity," He said.

"Don't touch her!" Draco screamed and Voldemorts head snapped in Draco's direction.

"What will it be Draco?" He asked. "Will you fufill your duties? Or watch her die, a very painful death?"

"Don't do it Draco." Hermione said. "Don't give in, do what's right. Let me die."

"Ahh, the Mudblood begging for death?" Voldemort asked. "Come on Draco, decide." He said.

"Don't do it Draco!" Hermione screamed from behind Voldemort.

"Hush!" He screamed and smacked her across the face.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Draco said, tears daring to form in his eyes. Voldemort turned, and smiled. He had brought Draco down, he had finally broken him. "I'll do it."

"Good Draco, good." He said. "Pettigrew! Take the mudblood to the cellar!" Pettigrew came into the room, and took Hermione away. Everyone was silent. Draco kept his head down, he knew what he would do would free Hermione. If it didn't...he didn't want to think about that part.
