She fell on the ground with a hard thump, & unfortunately she had not fallen on her feet.
"Owwwwww!" she groaned, as she tried to get up, but failed. Immediately, two strong arms were by her side, expertly lifting her up.

"Fred! George!" she exclaimed, for about the second time that day. "What happened?"

George shrugged his shoulders. "All I remember is asking you to step aside, to which you paid no heed, & then everything started spinning around me. Then I found myself here."

"Where ARE we?" asked Hermione looking around.

They were in some kind of wide green field.

"Do you think we-" began Fred, but before he could finish whatever it was that he was saying, Hermione squealed.

"Harry! Ginny!"

"Huh? Ginny? Where?" asked Fred, whirling around.

Harry & Ginny were running towards them, followed by 4 people whom they didn't know, a house-elf and…Draco Malfoy!

Hermione ran towards Harry, forgetting that only a minute ago, she was struggling to stand up, while Ginny was smothered by Fred & George.

"Where have you been?"

"We've been so worried!"

"Mom was-"

"I think the question session should be postponed for sometime, while you go refresh yourselves first." Said Rowena, smiling at Fred, George & Hermione. "The house-elf will show you to your rooms."

Fred, George, Hermione, Harry & Ginny followed the house-elf into the castle, while Draco hung behind.

"Malfoy." It was a cold voice, which had spoken. Draco knew instinctively, without turning, whom that voice belonged to.

He turned around. "Yes?" Draco, who seldom felt fear, (even while facing his father) felt it creep upon him, as Slytherin's cold green eyes bore into his grey ones.

"If you have already refreshed yourself, I would like you to come with me to my room. I have something of importance to discuss with you."

Draco looked at the other three- Godric, Rowena & Helga. They were animatedly discussing something, but Draco knew that they were listening to the conversation between himself & Salazar Slytherin. Slytherin seemed hardly aware of their presence. He was staring fixedly at Draco, compelling Draco to look at him & give him an answer.

"Yes, I will." Under those hypnotic eyes, there was nothing else he could say.
