Chapter 10-
Draco opened his eyes from a restless sleep. He was lying on his bed in the clothes he had worn the day before. Draco rubbed the sleep from his eyes. He had to prepare or something. He needed a plan.
Draco was not a man of action. Before he dared to enter into any risky affair, he always thought up a plan. He thought about possible turnabouts and planned well for those too. He was constantly prepared.
But for this....Draco had no idea how to prepare. He only had the slightest idea of where Ginny might be. He didn't even know if his father would bring her. He didn't even know if she was alive...
Draco cringed at the thought. He didn't want to think about that scenario. Draco got up from his bed and knocked off his shoes. He left the room and headed for the prefects bathroom for a shower.

Ron paced around the common room for the 30th time. Hermione and Harry sat in two of the oversized chairs.
"Ron, stop," Hermione said. "You'll wear a hole in the carpet."
"I can't stop it." he said crossly. "If I don't do something I'll go crazy. I owled Fred & George, see if they have any ideas. But they might still be in Greece on their marketing campaign."
"Ron," Harry said reasonably, "There's nothing we can do. We have no idea where Ginny is, why she was kidnapped, or what's going to happen tonight. Only Malfoy does..."
"I'm not going to let my baby sister's life fall into the hands of a Malfoy!" Ron yelled.
"She's not a baby anymore Ron. Where ever she is, I'm sure she is fine. Besides, without Malfoy, we've got nothing. You're going to have to trust him, if only for tonight...."

Ginny stared for the ceiling. She saw nothing. She didn't know why she was staring at the ceiling. But it was better than the alternative. Thinking about what was going to happen that night.
Draco must know I'm gone, Ginny thought to himself. He's probably thinking up a way to help me right know. She smiled. She was sure. But then, a voice popped into her head. He probably doesn't even care, the voice at the back of her head said. He probably hasn't even noticed.
Doubts clouded Ginny's mind. Was he going to try to help her? Did he even know where she was. Ginny didn't know. She couldn't think clearly. Ginny looked at her watch. It was 5:30 pm. The sun was about to set. Ginny looked at the bright sun out of the window, her hopes sinking with it.
The door opened with a clang. Narcissa stood in the doorway, trying to keep her head low. Ginny could see that her face was red, as if she had just been crying.
"The master summons you." Narcissa said in a monotone voice. "In the drawing room. Down the stairs to the left. Ginny stood up and walked out the door. THis was the second time she been let out of the room. The locking charm on the door glowed red as she walked past.
Ginny walked down the large marble stairs. Portraits of past Malfoy generations hung on the wall. Ginny stared as she descended the stairs. These were wizard portraits. The men and women in the picture all had triumphant smirks on their faces, or looks of disgust as she past. Ginny looked at the last picture. It was Lucius. Ginny didn't see any portraits of Draco.
Ginny walked left at the base of the staircase . She stood before a large oak door. The top of the door had a large serpent, perhaps a basilisk, descending on whoever stood before the door. Ginny gave an involuntary shudder. She only watched as the door slowly opened on it's own.
