Chapter 8
HA I ACTUALLY WROTE GOT THE TO EIGHT CHAPTER!!! * CHEERS *
OK, what happened last time, let's see.Um, Pansy witch napped Hermione, tied her up and Draco's room, and Ron and Harry just found her unconscious.
The REAL Chapter 8
"Hermione!!"
"Dumbledore! Come quick! We found Hermione!"
"Well, well, well, I seem to have a mudblood problem in my home." Lucius's cold voice cut through the air, "and I suggest you remove her at once before that thing lowers the value of my manor."
"YOU-" Ron was about to lunge at Lucius but Harry pulled him back. It probably wasn't a good idea to attack one of Voldemort's strongest supporters right in his house.
Professor Dumbledore also had a look on his face that suggest he would have preferred that Harry hadn't held Ron back.
"Lucius, I have a student in critical condition here, and we don't have time to waste dawdling here, so, Harry, Ron, let's go."
"Without Hermione?"
In a second, Hermione was floating on a stretcher, and the four of the walked (floated ) towards the Malfoy's fireplace in gloom.
We would all think that Malfoy would be the first person to put a hex on the, with their backs turned, but the second they were out of sight, he fled. To Voldemort.
"My Lord, Albus Dumbledore with three students were in my Manor, they just left for Hogwarts."
"Yes..."
"Well, it seemed like that were searching for something, but then they found a mudblood in Draco's room."
"Ah, yes, young Draco WAS always an interesting person, was he not?"
"No, no master, I was concerned that they might have found something else...something besides the mudblood."
"Well, DID THEY!?" Voldemort never raised his voice, even when he was angry, but this time...if those plans were found...
"No-well-I'm not sure-. My Lord, you must understand, in our world, our society, the Malfoy name still commands great fear, and respect. I don't see how a mere headmaster would dare enter our manor for just the girl. I was merely suggesting that he might have other intentions. Perhaps we should increase our security."
"Yes, why don't we increase our security just because YOU failed to lock up your fireplace. MALFOY! We can't spare anyone, every second is planned! Everyone is in their position, our plans cannot be ruined! Make sure Dumbledore knows nothing! GO!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Are you sure she's all right?" Ron and Harry were really starting to annoy Madame Pomfery.
"Yes! And as soon as you stop creating all this racket, she'll awaked even sooner!"
She lied, but fortunately the boys believed her, after all, if she could re grow the bones in Harry's arm, she could surely wake up Hermione, and Madame Pomfery never seemed like the type of person to cover up things.
"Mr.'s Potter, Weasley, why don't you go to your classes. The second Ms Granger wakes up, I will teleport the message to you."
After much pleading, grumbling, the two boys finally left, leaving a very distressed nurse and curious headmaster.
"Professor, I don't understand it. Someone placed the crutacius curse on Hermione here, then left her. By all accounts, she should be dead. The last thing placed on her was the crutatious, and it was never taken off. That is for certain. Yet-"
"Poppy, right now we have more important things to worry about. WHO did this, and why?"
"Didn't you say you found the girl at Malfoy Manor? Well, isn't it a little obvious? Young Malfoy does seem to have a certain, to put this in a nice way, hatred for muggle borns."
"Yes, that was my first thought too. But he's not dumb. He wouldn't just LEAVE her in his room. And there was something about Lucius too. He seemed rather jumpy, like he was hiding something."
Madame Pomfery suddenly gasped, and took a step back.
"Do you supposed he is?"
Before Dumbledore could answer, he was interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Dumbledore! I want a word with you!"
It was Lucius Malfoy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ron, what do you think about this?"
"What do you mean? We found Hermione tied up in Draco's Malfoy's room, unconscious. Not much to think about, except how we're gonna hide Malfoy's dead, bloody body once we're done with him."
"Empty threat Weasley. It seems we all like to skip classes and wander around, don't we?" The two jumped back in surprise, but when they realized who it was, the yelling started,
"Malfoy, I KNOW YOU HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS!"
He didn't seemed at all fazed that Ron was about to rip his head off, on the contrary, he smirked.
"Yes, I wish I DID have something to do with this however, it seems someone else has beat me to it. Sorry boys, but for once, it wasn't me. After all, I wouldn't risk contaminating my Manor with that mudblood."
Harry, got right to the point.
"Fine, then who did?"
The smirk remained on his face, yet it seemed strained now,
"Potter, I'd advise you to be more polite to me in the future. If I knew who it was, why should I tell you?"
" 'cause it's too against one and it DOES seem like we have an advantage here, magically, AND physically, here, doesn't it?" * good comeback Ron! *
"I can't believe I'm wasting my time talking to Scar face and hand me down boy."
Draco wanted to know what had happened to Hermione, at least she wasn't dead. But how could she not be? Pansy said she was. He was just going to have to see for himself.
He walked pass the classes, and into the Hospital Wing. The door was closed, yet there was no noise coming from inside. Slowly, the door was pushed open. With great confidence, he took a step inside. Suddenly, three pairs of eyes looked up at him.
With great respect, he lowered his head.
"Father, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Yes, I was chatting with your headmaster about an earlier intrusion into our home. Did you happen to hear about that?"
"No, father."
Everyone was curious.
"Draco, what are you doing here?" Dumbledore finally asked.
"Er...I heard a rumor that the mudblood, er, muggle born was dead, and I just had to see for myself, because it would have ruined...."
He gave a meaningful glance at his father, who seemed to be buying this, yet telling his to shut up because he was giving sitting right next to the 'enemy'.
At that moment, Hermione turned around, and seemed to come out of her unconsciousness. She mumbled something that was incomprehensible.
When they all leaned closer they heard,
"Draco"
DUN DUN DUN.....
