Chapter 2: Kidnapped

Hermione sat alone in the corner of a muggle karaoke bar. The Pint was the place that she
went to think. She did a lot of that in the past 2 years. After the raid she had quit working
out in the field, and only did desk work, she was better at it then a lot of people, because
she liked to read, a trait that she had ever since she went to Hogwarts. It was midmorning, but Hermione didn't care. The bar tender walked over to her booth and asked

"You're in here earlier then you usually are, want your usual?" Hermione looked up at the man, he was tall, with bluish grey hair, he was only about 25, but she had gotten to know him, and trusted him. She didn't know his real name because everyone called him Neptune or Nep or Tune for short because of his hair, and also because he was a good singer.

"No not today Nep, I just want something to relax me please." She replied looking into his blue eyes.

"Sure thing Hermione, one mulled wine coming up." He replied and walked to the bar to
get her the drink. A few minutes later he came back with a glass of mulled red wine, she could see the steam rising out of the wine cup. He set it on the table before her and sat down. Hermione sipped the warm liquid and enjoyed it as the spicy, sweet taste slid down her throat and warmed her up for the inside.

"You warmed it up," She smiled at him "Thanks, you always know what to do to make people feel better."

"So why are you here so early, you don't usually show up until late at night! Is everything okay?" His eyes were pleading with her to tell him.

'Great, what should I tell him? I killed 2 people a couple years ago, because I lost control over my magic? Or that I'm a sorceress in the making? Oh and that my life is falling apart?' She thought to herself, but she smiled, but the smile didn't go to her eyes and said,

"Nothings wrong Nep, just not a good day you know?"

"Ahh one of those days?" She just nodded.

"Well then I'll let you be!" He said getting up.

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow." With that she got up, leaving money on the table, and half a cup of wine.

"Sure thing Hermione see ya! And Merry Christmas" He smiled, and she was gone. As she walked out of the Pints the sudden light of the winter day hit her. She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, and a black leather skirt that came just above her knee, her legs were covered in black stocking, and black knee high dragon hide dress boots. She started walking down the street and threw her coal black cloak over her shoulders, and fastened it at the nape of her neck with a golden clasp shaped as a lion's head. As she was walking she felt as though she was being watched, she stopped walking and looked over her shoulder, causing her raven black straight hair to fly out. Her hair had changed colour after she had first used the magic's that she had bottled up. It came down to her waist. As she scanned the street behind her she saw a man in a spruce green clock slip into the shadows.

'Weird' she thought to herself.

She continued walking down the street, occasionally looking over her shoulder. Her boots making a clicking noise on the sidewalk. When she turned the corner of the street, she saw another man clad in a clock of black that matched his hair, when he saw her he crossed the street and started to walk towards her. Hermione quickly turned and crossed the street. As she walked across the intersection, she was able to see that walking down all four streets were men dressed in black, except for the one man in green. She quickly walked down the street, and turned into the ally. When she looked back to the entrance on the ally, four figures appeared.

'Shit, wizards.' The thought ran through her mind as she ran down the ally, all the while looking over her shoulder when BANG, she ran into something very solid, that made her fall backwards. As Hermione looked up, shielding her eyes from the sun, the thing that she had run into was a tall man, in black robes, and a white mask.

'Why are Death Eaters after me?' She quickly grabbed her wand and pointed it at the
Death Eater standing before her, she slowly rose to her feet pointing it at his heart. He
quickly snatched her wand from her, leaving her defenceless.

"Don't even bother, you can't hurt any of us." He sneered at her. That was when she noticed that the other four Death Eaters had caught up and were surrounding her.

"Shit!" She thought to herself. She couldn't apperate without her wand. She quickly glanced around her hoping to find a possible route for escape. But to no avail, they were shoulder to shoulder, leaving no small space to slip through!

"I now understand why the Lord wishes for this Mudblood." Sneered one of the Death Eaters behind her as he ran his fingerer down her spine.

"I hope he'll let us have a little fun with her first." Another remarked. The leader knowing where this was going quickly swatted the hand away from Hermione's body and drawled,

"We are not to play with her, he wants her something else. But I'm not sure what. But enough, if he finds out what your up to, he'll cast Avarda Kadavra on you." The Death
Eater shut up in an instant, not daring to challenge him. With the conversation at a close the leader pointed his wand at Hermione and quickly cast

"Stuptify." Hermione fell forward where the leader caught her, and quickly chanted.

"Abeo dominus cubile (Disapperate to the Lord's Lair)." And with a wisp of black smoke they dissippeared...
