Chapter 13
~*~
Harry awoke abruptly as the sun decided to shine in full glory the next morning. It was Saturday and there was a scheduled trip to Hogsmeade for everyone in third year and higher. Groaning, he pulled himself up and surveyed the room. He and Ron were the only ones still in the room.
Harry stifled back a laugh as he watched Ron smack his lips together and let out a sputtering burst of air, and in the process of turning over, smacked himself in his sleep. Harry continued to watch for a few moments before he got out of his bed and walked over to Ron's.
He stood over the sleeping form of his best friend for a moment, contemplating how to wake him up, and eventually just threw off his covers and grabbed him by the foot, pulling him off the bed and onto the cold stone floor.
Ron sat up groggily and looked up at Harry, who was standing over him triumphantly, a huge grin on his face. He gave him a sneer and reached up towards the bed and pulled down his pillow and blanket, intent on just sleeping on the floor if Harry was going to drag him off his bed.
Harry snickered and pulled Ron to his feet. The red head now stood face to face with the raven-haired boy. Ron's eyes narrowed at Harry, and he looked like he would punch him if he made another move. He was certainly not a morning person.
At that moment Ginny ran into the room. Ron whirled around, staggering a bit at his sudden movement. She paused for a second, raising an eyebrow at the two before she proceeded in telling them why she was there.
"Hermione is gone! She didn't come to the dorm last night and she wasn't here when we all woke up. She missed dinner and half of her classes yesterday!" Ginny stopped, taking a breath.
Harry was looking at Ginny curiously, while Ron was still trying to process what his little sister had said. "Wait, what?" Ron asked dazedly.
Harry smacked Ron on the back of the head, "She's gone, Hermione is gone!" he explained as Ron rubbed at the spot where Harry had hit him.
"Hermione's gone? Where is she?" he inquired.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Really, Ronald Weasley, you are the densest person in the world when you wake up! If we knew where Hermione was, then we would go get her, wouldn't we? But, seeing as how we haven't a clue as to where she is, we're all scared and worried."
Ron looked confused for a moment before it finally sunk in. "Oh! Hermione's gone!"
Harry and Ginny rolled their eyes at each other before Ginny left the room to let them dress.
~*~
Things got even stranger as the three headed down to the great hall for breakfast. As they sat down at their table, they listened to the rumors buzzing around the great hall, and they all had to do with two people.
Harry leaned over a little to catch what Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown were saying to each other.
"Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy have both been missing since yesterday after Potions. No telling where poor Hermione is if she's with that Draco Malfoy," Lavender explained. Parvati interrupted, "but, oh my, isn't Draco dreamy? I mean, if I were Hermione and off somewhere with Draco Malfoy. . ." she trailed off in order to fan herself with her hand.
Harry cringed at the thought of Draco Malfoy, king of ferrets, and Hermione Granger, queen of the library, being stuck somewhere together. He shook Ron's shoulder, and Ron had to catch himself so he wouldn't fall face first into his oatmeal. He gave Harry a look of contempt before listening to what he had to say.
"We need to talk, come on," Harry said as he stood and started to drag Ron away from the table.
"I can walk, you know," Ron mumbled as he tugged away from Harry's grip. Ginny followed closely behind them.
The three walked out of the Great Hall and down the corridor. Harry stood in between Ron and Ginny as he explained. "Hermione and Malfoy have been missing since yesterday after potions. Knowing ferret boy, he probably kidnapped her or something."
Ginny had a look of apprehension on her face. "Harry, I don't think that even Draco Malfoy would do that. He may be annoying and mean, but I don't think he's that evil."
Ron snickered a little, "you sound like Hermione in second year, Gin, when she said she didn't think it was Malfoy letting the basilisk loose. . .oh shit, I can't believe I just said that." He smacked his forehead and looked over to Ginny. She only shrugged.
"It's ok, Ron. It's been five years since all that Tom Riddle stuff. I'm ok now. Don't worry. You aren't going to send me into depression by saying that." She consoled him.
Ron let out a sigh of relief, but nevertheless walked around Harry and threw his arm over Ginny's shoulders. Harry was staring down the hall at nothing in particular.
"Guys, what are we going to do? We have to find Hermione," he stated quietly.
Ron's eyes hardened in concentration as he thought of where she might possibly be. The three had stopped by a suit of armor to pause to think. From down the corridor, they heard the squealing laugh of none other than Pansy Parkinson. They all hid behind the armor.
As Pansy got closer, they were able to catch what she was saying. She paused in front of the suit of armor they were hiding behind.
"Drakie and that mudblood bitch have been secretly together for a little over a month, sneaking into empty classrooms and kissing and holding hands. It makes me sick! She's turned my Drakie soft. So, naturally, I had to do something about that. . ."
Pansy was interrupted by the person she was talking to. "Pansy, I hate to say this to you, but Draco was never YOUR Drakie. . .and don't call him that, for bloody sakes. It makes him sound like a two year old. Who cares if he's been with Granger? Frankly, I say it's about damn time. The two were so obvious in the past, especially Draco. Every time he insulted Granger he would come into the common room looking as if he had just killed a puppy on accident. Face it, Pansy, it's always been Granger for him, he just never realized it until recently." The person she was talking to turned out to be Blaise Zabini.
Ron, Harry, and Ginny stood there dumbfounded, trying to comprehend everything the two were talking about. Ron was beginning to look angry. She had chosen Malfoy over him? He remembered the night he had kissed her by the piano. He had walked out of the room, right into the bloody ferret. Pansy's voice broke his thoughts again.
"Your wrong Blaise, it's always been me! He loved me, before that mudblood came into the picture! He lost his virginity to me! I lost mine to him! He's mine! I love him, and he loves me, Granger just put a spell on him or something! That's why I wrote to his father. I had to let him know what his son was doing with a mudblood! That's why Drakie and Granger are missing! Because of what I wrote! I hope Lucius kills that mudblood, humiliate her rotten then kill her! Drakie is mine! MINE MINE MINE!" Pansy's eyes were blazing with an undecipherable flare.
Blaise put a hand over Pansy's mouth. "What the hell are you talking about, Pansy? Are you saying that you were so jealous of Granger that you would want her dead, at the hands of Draco's father? You stupid bitch. I'm Draco's best friend, Pansy. Draco tells me things about his father. He told me about Granger, how he had never felt like that with any other girl, and what his father would do to him if he found out! You say you love Draco, but you just killed him! Do you have any idea what his father would do to him, did you ever pause to think about that? His father is going to kill him, as soon as he's done with Granger, he's going to come after Draco! You stupid stupid idiot!" Blaise had her hands in her hair, practically pulling it out in frustration.
The three behind the armor were stunned. They watched as Blaise bit her nails nervously as she continued. "Where are they, Parkinson?"
No answer.
"Where the fuck are they you idiot?!" She had grabbed Pansy by the shoulders and was shaking her vehemently.
Pansy gave her a piercing glare. "At Draco's manor, dungeons. . ." she replied aloofly. There was a gleam of insanity in her eyes as she stared Blaise down. Then she walked away, leaving Blaise standing by the armor, a tear of frustration rolling silently down her face. She sat down on the floor by the armor, pulled her knees to her chest, and placed her head in her hands. The three watched silently behind her as her shoulders shook with every breath she took. A few minutes later, she stood, wiped off her face, and walked down the corridor towards the great hall, ready to go to Hogsmeade.
~*~
Harry, Ron, and Ginny stood by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room, floo powder ready. Well, almost.
"Let me come Ron!" Ginny begged. Ron shook his head. "No, Ginny, it's too dangerous. You're not coming, so stop trying to."
Ginny stared down her brother but finally gave up and ran up to the girls side dormitory. They heard the door slam and winced. Harry looked at Ron, and he nodded. It was now or never.
Harry threw down the floo powder as he stepped into the flames. "Malfoy Manor!"
Ron followed closely after.
~*~
The two found themselves in some sort of room of the manor. The room was a midnight blue color, etched with silver. In the corner stood a wardrobe filled with old Hogwarts robes. A picture of a gorgeous blond woman, whom the two recognized as Narcissa Malfoy, stood by the bed on a nightstand. An old firebolt stood in another corner of the room, dusty and untouched. Upon inspection, the two realized it was Draco's old broom, and this must be his room. Ron stared at everything. "Who would have known," he began, "that Draco Malfoy had a room that wasn't done up in Slytherin colors?" Harry nodded slightly behind him.
"Come on, we need to find Hermione," Harry simply stated as he began walking towards the door. Ron began to follow but stopped again quickly. "Wait, they'll see us!" Harry gave a small grin and fished out his invisibility cloak from the inside of his robes and threw it around his shoulders. Ron let out a sigh of relief as he got under the cloak as well.
At that moment, the door opened, and Lucius Malfoy waltzed in with another man, carrying a screaming and kicking Draco. Ron and Harry noticed the boy had tears streaming down his face, red with fury. They watched as the two men threw him on the bed, the back of his head connecting hard with one of the bedposts. Draco struggled to get up and tried to lunge at his father.
A second later, Draco was crumpled on the ground by the wardrobe, nearly thirty feet from where he had started. Lucius shoved his wand back into his robes and walked out of the room with the other man, locking the door behind them with a charm no spell could undo.
Harry and Ron stood speechless, eyes going back and forth between the locked door and the unconscious Draco in heap on the floor. They were trapped.
