Gee, I wonder who that thing is? Oh wait I should know, I'm the author!
Anyway,
Hermione screamed as she was carried helplessly into a grungy basement and then chained to a wall with her hands pinned above her head so she was suspended off the ground. But seeing as how there were rats on the ground that was fine with her.
The crimson skull turned to face it's prisoner. "You will serve my purpose well."
"And what exactly is your purpose?" Hermione demanded, twisting her wrists in her restraints.
"Why to capture Draco, of course. He betrayed me you see and now I want revenge. But if you're nice, maybe you can be my queen."
"You're insane." Hermione whispered. "I would never be with you."
He slammed his mouth against hers angrily. She bit down hard as she felt her skin crawl. He pulled away, oozing black liquid on to the stone floor, smiling. He began to laugh maniacally. "Oh, how I'll enjoy slicing Draco's throat."
Hermione glared "I'd pay to see that." She spat at the evil figure before her.
"My dear, you're getting a free show, and I trust it will be good."
Draco stalked down his corridors, frustrated. He didn't know where the hell that, that thing had taken Hermione. The fact that they had dared snatch her caused his blood to boil. They would pay.
He came upon a tile in the floor that was cracked. He paused and stooped to inspect it. He curled his fingers around the base of the tile and lifted it. The three other tiles surrounding it came up with it to reveal a hole in the floor. Draco concluded he had stumbled upon a trap door.
He shrugged and jumped down it. He hit the ground below and felt glass snap in a low moan beneath him. He raised his weight from the glass to reveal a broken beaker that was seeping out purple liquid.
It was then he realized he was surrounded by beakers, each full of steaming juices that were placed precariously on the table that had so beautifully broken his fall. He looked around and spotted Hermione dangling from a wall in chains.
His heart immediately ached and he leapt off the table and to her side. He grasped his wand and whispered "Alohamora." The chains automatically fell off and Hermione's cold, limp form fell lightly into his out stretched arms.
He cradled her body to his protectively and brushed a kiss into her hair. She stirred and opened her eyes slowly. "Draco?"
"Shhh. You'll be okay now. I'm here." He assured her gently.
Suddenly something blue caught Draco's eye. It was a liquid, but it was. . . moving, It hissed furociously like acid. Draco saw that the other substances contained in the beakers was following suit.
"Shit." Draco fled down the left of three passages, hoping it was the correct one.
Before long absolutely no light filtered through the area as the tunnel went longer. All the sudden a growl resounded in the deep of the tunnel. Draco froze and heard Hermione whimper fearfully.
Hermione felt something harry brush against her ankle and she gasped and clutched tighter to Draco. She recoiled her legs as far up as she could manage. "Draco? I'm scared." She confided, terrified.
Draco yanked out his wand "Lumus!" He ordered. The wand instantly lit up shedding a meager beam of light on a huge eyeball. The eyeball blinked and vanished. Draco felt his wand being knocked form his hand and their only source of light dissappeared.
"Why have you disturbed my sleep?" Something grumbled from behind them.
"We didn't do it on purpose. We apologize. Who are you?" Draco said in reply.
"Well go away." Ordered the voice?
"Who are you"" Draco repeated more forcefully.
"My name is Pharyma."
"What are you?" Hermione really had to work on her curiousity.
"I am a Lythedene. In your world I'd be the over sized version of a penguin, except I possess sharp, jagged teeth to rip the flesh of my prey." The tone more than the words, supplied the threat.
"In that case we'll be leaving."
"Leaving? Oh no, you know where my lair is, I cannot allow that knowledge freedom. No, I think you'd make a fine supper, come here."
"You're going to eat us?" Hermione's voice trembled.
"Yes. Come here."
Draco didn't hesitate, he ran blindly down the corridor in the opposite direction and reached the endwhere the poisonous acid coated half the floor. He twisted his body down the middle path, the furious creature thundering after them.
This new selection appeared to grow brighter the further you travelled and eventually the couple reached another fork in the road, with Hermione's kidnapper waiting inbetween.
"Ah, you chose the correct path and I was so hoping my pets would do the job for me." He snapped his fingers in mock disapointment.
Draco sat Hermione down gently and snapped his frame back up to peircr the evil creature with his stare. "What do you want from me?"
The figure shrugged "Revenge, Money, The usual."
"What did I ever do to you?" Draco demanded as he squared himself to fight.
The demon bturned it's eyes on Draco and the empty balck pits began to glow. "You stole my LIFE!" It shrieked as it lunged again at Draco.
"Why? Who are you?" Draco yelled as he leapt out of the creature's path.
The figure began to chuckle maniacally "You should know! But if you've become so dense that you can't discern my identity, I'll tell you."
"So you are," Draco prompted, irratibly.
"Draco, I am. . ."
Don't ya hate me? Oh well. Don't kill me cause then you'll never know! Bye!
