Chapter 2:
The Serpent's Affection
"Malfoy!" Hermione gasped.
"Yes, Granger."
"So that must mean that those two are..."
"Correct again, Crabbe and Goyle."
"But why did you want me?"
"Actually, I didn't and it is my apologizes."
"Then who did you want?" Hermione questioned. Malfoy didn't answer. He was now focused on Crabbe and Goyle.
"You two told me you knew what Ginny looked like. Leave that here and find the right person this time." Malfoy growled.
"They wanted Ginny!" Hermione silently told herself. She had to do something,
"NO!" She screamed, "You leave Ginny alone!"
"Shut up!" Malfoy growled and he kicked Hermione in the side. She moaned with pain and rolled over onto her side.
"Go now!" Malfoy ordered and with that the two started up the lawns toward the castle.
"What do you want with Ginny?" Hermione breathed still clutching her side and shaking violently.
"You will soon see," Malfoy sneered, "and here, put this on." Malfoy handed Hermione her nightgown. She started to leave to change when Malfoy stopped her,
"Where are you going?" He stared at her suspiciously.
"I'm going to change," Hermione said as if the answer was obvious.
"Your not leaving my sites, oh no." Malfoy ordered rather than said. She looked at him suspiciously.
"Unless you want to stay in a wet towel all night. I'll turn around." Malfoy did as he had said. Hermione dropped her towel and put her nightgown on quickly.
"OK," She muttered. Malfoy turned around.

15 minutes later Crabbe and Goyle returned holding a bound and gagged Ginny. Hermione saw unmistakable fear in her eyes as they brought her towards Malfoy. When she saw Hermione she appeared to relax for a minute. Crabbe and Goyle set her down.
"You may go," Malfoy said waving them off. They started up the lawn to the castle.
"Untie her!" Malfoy ordered Hermione. Hermione rushed over to and took out her gag.
"It's OK," Hermione reassured Ginny.
"Oh Hermione..." Ginny burst out.
"Silence," Malfoy growled. Ginny stopped talking and Hermione continued to untie her. Once she was done Malfoy walked up to Ginny.
"Oh Ginny," He said suddenly looking soft, "kiss me." He cupped her chin in his hands and leaned in his mouth slightly open. Ginny raised her hand and smacked Malfoy, leaving a bright red mark on his cheek.
"Stupid fool!" He whispered dangerously. He moved his hand to her arms and squeezed them, digging his nails in and causing her arms to bleed.
"You will stay in the forest tonight," he growled and showed them a spot that was semi sheltered and told them that was to be their bed tonight. They laid down and saw Malfoy go to a tent 20 feet away.
"Don't even think about trying to escape," he sneered, "I will find you." Hermione laid close to Ginny and covered them with her now dry towel. Ginny's arms weren't bleeding as badly and Hermione made sure they stopped before she relaxed.
She lay there and thought. Where had the warmth she had felt earlier gone? Her sense of security had vanished as well. She shuddered against the cold of the night and moved closer to Ginny. What would they do? Hermione remembered how tired she was and yawned. In 10 minutes Hermione was fast asleep.
Hermione was so tired that she didn't even notice a cloaked figure sweep past their camp.
