"Can I have a drink of water?" Sadie asked weakly. Her energy had been drained from her.
"No. We can't take a chance of emptying your bladder in that dumb bathroom again." Gracie looked at her. "You might make a move this time."
"Whatever. You are nuts." Sadie shook her head. "I'm your own relative."
"You my dear have nothing to do with me." Gracie shook her head.
"Please you are the mother of my aunt."
"Who said I was Ashley's mother. Let me put you on a little secret since you won't be on this earth any longer. Ashley's mom died when your mother was a little girl. Your uncle was under an imperious curse when he married me and he has been ever since but of course it's only to tell him that he loves me but to you all he does is out of his own free will. Catching my drift?"
"Don't talk like that. You don't sound cool." Sadie rolled her eyes. "I don't get it though why uncle Andy?"
"You're not as smart as I expected for money you fool and if Ashley married that bloody Malfoy we would've had a title to our name."
"You already do."
"Not enough."
"You egotistical bitch."
"Don't make me hurt you."
"Do it. You know you want to it makes you feel like you have power doesn't it?" Sadie rolled her eyes.
"No but I want to give you something. Arthur!" Gracie called out.
Arthur trudged in with a drink in his hand.
"Drink this." Gracie held it close to her mouth.
Sadie kept her mouth shut.
"Don't make me use my wand." But still Sadie didn't open her mouth. "Open it." Gracie squeezed her jaw hard causing Sadie to open it as slowly she drank it spitting out most of it.
'Didn't drink all of it." Sadie said smartly.
"One drop of that potion and you will be doing exactly what I want you to."
Sadie felt drowsy.
"Does anyone know you're here?"
Sadie's brain became blank as it if wasn't her speaking. "Yes."
"I knew it. How?"
"The man yesterday at the counter while Arthur was reading the playboy," Sadie or rather the truth came out.
Gracie glared at her slave. "You will pay!" She began to recite the Avada Kedavra. Sadie watched in horror as the man collapsed on the floor his spirit literally being drained from his body. Gracie turned back to Sadie. "Now excuse me I need to make an important call."
~*~*~*~
'Where is my child?" Hermione looked at the man.
"In a building not far from here." He looked at her.
"Take me to her." Hermione looked at the man feeling a great power of relief.
"No Ms. Granger you can't go!" Danny said.
"Why not?"
"Because it'll be dangerous for her, we need to plan this out with the police. We need to make out our plans before we can get her back in your arms."
"But I want Sadie now." Hermione looked at him.
"I promise you that she will be back in your arms by tomorrow afternoon. Right now I think you should get your rest and I will take this man to the station and get all the information and tomorrow we will get your daughter back."
"Wait!" The man protested. "She wanted me to give this to you."
She handed Hermione the not as Hermione ran her fingers across it.
"Ms. Granger!!" Sam came running out of the house. "There is an anonymous caller!"
"That's her!" Hermione looked at the others and ran into the house.
"Is the recorder on?" Draco looked at the man.
"Yes, answer the call Hermione." Danny instructed.
Hermione slowly picked up the phone and brought it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Hermione." The voice spoke.
"Who is this?" She asked.
"Please Hermione like you didn't know it was me. It's Gracie and I'm sure you know why I'm calling."
"Where is she?" Hermione growled then Danny shook his head madly.
"I'm sure you know exactly where she is. Sadie is a very clever little girl don't you think?" Gracie laughed.
"I swear if you lay a hand on her." Hermione warned and Danny grabbed her arm shaking his head again.
"Mind your temper if you don't want Sadie to get hurt."
"What do you want from me?"
"The life I was supposed to have." Gracie growled. "But that wouldn't be possible now would it. Now, if you want your daughter back you need to come here tomorrow with Draco and I don't care if you bring the FBI with you just be there."
"How do I know my daughters alive?"
"I'll let you two have a mother-daughter chat for a minute."
"Mom." Sadie cried into the phone.
"Sadie." Hermione began to cry. "Baby did she hurt you?"
"I'm fine." Sadie managed to say. "Help me, mom. Please she killed Arthur."
"Arthur? Baby, how are you please tell me you're okay?"
"I'm fine. I haven't eaten in days but they. . ."
"It's Gracie again before you get all weepy." Gracie mocked into the phone.
'You bitch!" Hermione growled. "You better now touch her again."
"Oh, I've performed a few C's on her already." Gracie laughed.
"I am going to. . ."
"Uh-uh-uh. . . if you want your daughter alive you better zip it and just show up behind this building tomorrow at eight in on the dot. Got it?" Gracie slammed the phone down.
Hermione looked at Draco. "She's alive my baby's okay."
"We need to talk about the plans for tomorrow." Danny said.
"We need to go." Hermione looked at Draco.
"We'll assemble a couple of police men near by so incase she makes the wrong move we take her."
"I understand." Hermione nodded.
"I'm going to bring that man down to the station and you two better rest. You've got a long day tomorrow."
Hermione nodded her head as Danny left the room.
~*~*~*~
Draco lay beside Hermione that night. Hermione kept squirming.
Draco sat up and turned on the nightlight. "Herm, you need to sleep."
"How can you even think of sleeping when out daughter is in the arms of that monster?"
"Excuse me?" Draco shot a look at her. "I cannot believe you are saying this. You think this is not affecting me at all? My god Hermione I have never been so scared in my life."
"You don't seem to show it a lot." She answered smartly.
"I am her father Hermione!" Draco yelled. "Of course I am hurting. You can't begin to imagine how much hurt I am going through. If anything happens to Sadie I don't know what I'll do. I got her back after fifteen long years and now I am going to lose her again. How do you think I feel? You don't know what it's like Hermione losing something you love after you just got it."
"Don't you dare say that." Hermione shook her head. "I've gone through that pain."
"Really? When?" Draco bit back.
"When I lost you!" Hermione cried. "You don't get it do you? I sacrificed everything for you. I sacrificed my happiness, my heart!"
"Yeah and you know what? You sacrificed my heart as well."
Hermione looked at Draco and broke into tears helplessly. "I never meant to Draco. I didn't know but I needed to be strong for Sadie and for me."
"Shh." Draco soothed her. "You don't always have to be so strong." He ran his fingers through her hair. "I never could imagine loving anyone as much as I love you and Sadie."
"I could never imagine hurting someone as much as I hurt you." Hermione's cried on his chest.
"Look at me." Draco lifted her chin. "It's past we can't bring it back but we can change it." He brought his lips down to Hermione's and kissed her passionately sliding his hands up her night gown. (I'll let your imaginations fly now. I don't like doing the rated parts so you all know what happened anyway.)
~*~*~*~
"Get up." Gracie shook Sadie. Sadie weakly stood up as Gracie removed her ropes. "You better not do anything funny." Sadie noticed that there was something in Gracie's right pocket and knew exactly what it was. "Put this on." She threw a jacket, cap and a pair of shades at her. "Come on."
The two girls made their way downstairs. There was a small alley where the trashcans were.
"You stay here when I step out you better not do anything if you don't want anyone to get hurt."
"I understand." Sadie nodded her head.
~*~*~*~
"Are they all assembled to the location on where we are supposed to meet them?" Hermione looked at Danny as they rode to their destination.
"Yes. We've got an ambulance ready and everything." He nodded his head.
"Everything is in order?" Draco looked at him.
"Yes we've got two sharp shooters on set. One wrong move from her and we shoot."
"Okay." Hermione sighed.
"Here we are. You two need to walk down to the back of this building. She should be waiting there."
Hermione looked at Draco. He smiled at her weakly and kissed her on the forehead.
The two walked to the back of the building.
~*~*~*~
"You stay here and make sure that no one can see you." Gracie looked at her. "Don't come out until I say so."
"Yes." Sadie nodded her head as Gracie walked away.
Sadie saw Hermione and Draco walk into the back lot.
"Mom." Sadie teared when she saw her mother and father standing there.
Hermione and Draco didn't notice the girl in the shadows.
"Hermione stay in front of Draco." Gracie ordered.
The two adults looked at the older woman.
"Now!" She yelled.
Hermione stood in front of Draco. Draco held onto her shoulders.
"Where is she?" Hermione asked.
"Not until I let you know what you've done to me." Gracie laughed and stuffed her hands into her pocket.
Sadie's heart began to race as she watched Gracie talk to her parents.
"You see I knew that it was your fucking love child's mouth that called off that wedding."
"Do not talk about my daughter that way."
"Oh please. Like that little bastard has any say in this." Gracie laughed. "Then I thought who brought that stupid girl in this world and then I realized it was you Hermione. And I was going to make you pay."
"Gracie please." Hermione pleaded.
"Shut it." She lifted her left hand. "No one destroys my life and my happiness."
Sadie watched as she turned her right hand in her pocket facing the object toward the direction of her mother.
"No." Sadie whispered to herself.
"Now you are going to pay." Gracie said smugly and pulled out the gun.
"NOOO!!" It took all of the energy Sadie had left to run to her mother and there were gunshots all around.
Hermione and Draco looked at their daughter. Sadie turned to see Gracie lying dead on the ground with blood flowing from all over.
"Mom." Sadie collapsed and Hermione grabbed her daughter feeling Draco's arms of support from behind.
"Sadie." Hermione screamed as Danny ran in with other police officers. Hermione felt something-wet touch her fingers as she held her daughter.
"Mom." Sadie coughed. "Dad. I thought I was never going to see you guys again."
"We're together now." Hermione smiled then looked at her daughter. Horror took over her as she saw blood trickling down her legs as she held Sadie.
"It hurts mom." Sadie cried.
"Oh god Draco she's shot." Hermione looked up at him.
"It hurts so much." Sadie cried as signs of weakness took over her body.
"Shh. Sadie it's going to be okay." Draco comforted his daughter as he felt his eyes begin to sting.
"Tell me something happy in case I don't make it." Sadie looked at her parent's all the blood was draining from her face.
"Don't talk like that." Hermione looked at her daughter. "We're together now. We'll be one happy family isn't that what you always wanted?"
Sadie began to cough.
"We're getting married." Draco soothed his daughter.
Sadie smiled up at them. "It's about time."
The paramedics soon came in and quickly put Sadie on a stretcher.
"Sadie, baby." Hermione held onto her daughter's hand as they ran to the ambulance. Sadie glanced at Hermione weakly. Her face was pale and she was as cold as ice.
"We're almost there you need to hang on for me, okay?" Draco looked at his daughter. "You can't leave me now I just found you."
"I'm sorry." Sadie began to cry as her vision blurred.
"Sadie," Hermione shook her head. "Please."
"I love you." She whispered and shut her eyes. The ambulance doors flung open as they rushed Sadie into the ER.
~*~*~*~
"Earlier today Samantha Granger was finally found but sadly she was shot three times in the back. Police haven't given out the name of the suspect but say that she has already passed on. Samantha Granger who is fifteen ran in front of her mother before the suspect could shoot her. It turns out that they wanted to hurt the older Granger." The reported said from outside the hospital. "Samantha or otherwise known as Sadie is still undergoing surgery and from a report from one of the insider in the hospital it doesn't look like the fifteen year old is going to make it. One of the three bullets hit the portion near her heart another near her spinal column and one hitting the ribcage. We will give you an update later on the little girl's case later on tonight. Thank you."
~*~*~*~
"Hermione." Anne walked into the hospital along with Narcissa and Lucius.
Narcissa who like Anne was also crying spoke up, "How is she?"
"We don't know yet." Draco shook his head and held onto Hermione's shoulders tightly.
~*~*~*~
Inside the operating room surgeons were trying their best to keep the teenager alive.
"What kind of gun did she use?" One doctor asked as he began to remove the bullets.
"It seemed like a home made one although it was very powerful. Powerful enough to nearly touch her heart and she was shot from the back." One answered.
"We're losing too much blood! Nurse go and look for a donor for a type o."
"You do know that, that is the hardest type to find now a days?"
"Go hurry!"
~*~*~*~
"Is Sadie okay?" Crystal and the girls ran into the hospital.
Hermione looked at her weakly. Crystal took this as a sign and walked to her wrapping her arms around her.
"Ms. Granger!" A nurse came running out. "We need a person with a blood type of o."
"That's my blood type." Hermione nodded.
"Yes but you can't because of your anemia. We need to find another relative or at least a person with the same blood type."
"You do know that there are only ten percent of the people walking in this planet with that kind of blood type?" Jamie spoke up. (This is future so I just invented everything.)
"Draco?" Hermione looked at him.
"I'm A like both my parents." He looked at her weakly.
"Mom?" Hermione looked at Anne.
"B." "Where can we find a donor." Hermione cried in frustration.
"Wait!" Crystal yelled and closed her eyes. "I'm O!"
"Are you sure?" Draco asked.
"Positive." Crystal nodded her head.
"But you're underage." The nurse said.
"I'll call my parent's just set up the stuff." Crystal pulled out her cellphone and began to dial. She followed the nurse.
~*~*~*~
"Losing too much blood."
"We found a donor!" The nurse came running in.
"Good. Send her in."
"We will put a little medicine to let you sleep okay. We won't be removing much." The nurse looked at Crystal.
"I don't care." Crystal put out her left arm.
The nurse carefully put in the medicine and brought Crystal's bed into the operating room where Sadie was.
"That girl is under age." The doctor looked at the now sleeping Crystal.
"We got the parent's approval."
"Are you sure she's type O?" One spoke up.
"Positive." The nurse nodded as Crystal's blood began to flow into Sadie.
"No viral background."
"I think you can donate if you have asthma." The nurse nodded. (I'm not quite sure but since this is a fic let's just leave it to that)
"Okay. We got out all of the bullets out."
A long beep began to ring.
"Doctor her heart stopped!" The nurse yelled.
"Grab the machine!" (I forgot what to call it) He rubbed it together and yelled, "All clear!"
"Clear." Everyone backed out a certain distance.
"All clear?"
"Clear!"
"All clear?"
"Clear!"
Still Sadie didn't respond.
"Pump air into her." The doctor yelled. The nurse did as she was told but still Sadie didn't respond.
"One more time. Clear?"
"Clear!" The nurse replied.
The doctor tried the machine on Sadie again and still she didn't respond.
"Call it." He rubbed his temples.
"Time of death 10:54 on July. 29." The nurse began to write as they began to detach the blood transfusion wires.
"Let her come around on her own." He pointed to Crystal. "I need to go and tell her parents."
~*~*~*~
The two doctors walked of the room. All nine stood up and faced him.
The older doctor looked at the younger one and nodded his head obviously telling him to break the news.
He didn't know how he was going to tell them especially with the look on Hermione's face, "I'm sorry," was all her managed to say.
"No, please, no." Hermione cried in hysteria as Draco covered his mouth shaking his head as hot tears fell from his eyes as well.
"Oh my god." Megz cried.
"It can't be." The four girls went into pairs and cried on each other's shoulders.
~*~*~*~
A/N: Okay, this is the crucial part of the story and you better review because I'm going to have you guys vote and the majority gets there ending of the story. I can make what just happened a false alarm and Sadie can die. Personally I kinda think it would be okay if Sadie died but I need to know what you guys think so I am not going to update for the next two days to see and wait for all the votes to come in and of course take a short break from writing this story. Maybe I'll even start on my new one.
The two things you guys are voting for:
Sadie dies, angst ending Sadie lives, happy ending
But if you chose the first one the story becomes longer because I need to add another chapter for her funeral and a portion of a fifteen years later type of thing. If you chose the happy ending then there will only be two or three chapters left. It's your call!
See you all in a couple of days and remember you better vote if you want the ending you want to come out!
See you all in two days!
Peace and God Bless!!

"Get up." Gracie shook Sadie. Sadie weakly stood up as Gracie removed her ropes. "You better not do anything funny." Sadie noticed that there was something in Gracie's right pocket and knew exactly what it was. "Put this on." She threw a jacket, cap and a pair of shades at her. "Come on."
The two girls made their way downstairs. There was a small alley where the trashcans were.
"You stay here when I step out you better not do anything if you don't want anyone to get hurt."
"I understand." Sadie nodded her head.
~*~*~*~
"Are they all assembled to the location on where we are supposed to meet them?" Hermione looked at Danny as they rode to their destination.
"Yes. We've got an ambulance ready and everything." He nodded his head.
"Everything is in order?" Draco looked at him.
"Yes we've got two sharp shooters on set. One wrong move from her and we shoot."
"Okay." Hermione sighed.
"Here we are. You two need to walk down to the back of this building. She should be waiting there."
Hermione looked at Draco. He smiled at her weakly and kissed her on the forehead.
The two walked to the back of the building.
~*~*~*~
"You stay here and make sure that no one can see you." Gracie looked at her. "Don't come out until I say so."
"Yes." Sadie nodded her head as Gracie walked away.
Sadie saw Hermione and Draco walk into the back lot.
"Mom." Sadie teared when she saw her mother and father standing there.
Hermione and Draco didn't notice the girl in the shadows.
"Hermione stay in front of Draco." Gracie ordered.
The two adults looked at the older woman.
"Now!" She yelled.
Hermione stood in front of Draco. Draco held onto her shoulders.
"Where is she?" Hermione asked.
"Not until I let you know what you've done to me." Gracie laughed and stuffed her hands into her pocket.
Sadie's heart began to race as she watched Gracie talk to her parents.
"You see I knew that it was your fucking love child's mouth that called off that wedding."
"Do not talk about my daughter that way."
"Oh please. Like that little bastard has any say in this." Gracie laughed. "Then I thought who brought that stupid girl in this world and then I realized it was you Hermione. And I was going to make you pay."
"Gracie please." Hermione pleaded.
"Shut it." She lifted her left hand. "No one destroys my life and my happiness."
Sadie watched as she turned her right hand in her pocket facing the object toward the direction of her mother.
"No." Sadie whispered to herself.
"Now you are going to pay." Gracie said smugly and pulled out the gun.
"NOOO!!" It took all of the energy Sadie had left to run to her mother and there were gunshots all around.
Hermione and Draco looked at their daughter. Sadie turned to see Gracie lying dead on the ground with blood flowing from all over.
"Mom." Sadie collapsed and Hermione grabbed her daughter feeling Draco's arms of support from behind.
"Sadie." Hermione screamed as Danny ran in with other police officers. Hermione felt something-wet touch her fingers as she held her daughter.
"Mom." Sadie coughed. "Dad. I thought I was never going to see you guys again."
"We're together now." Hermione smiled then looked at her daughter. Horror took over her as she saw blood trickling down her legs as she held Sadie.
"It hurts mom." Sadie cried.
"Oh god Draco she's shot." Hermione looked up at him.
"It hurts so much." Sadie cried as signs of weakness took over her body.
"Shh. Sadie it's going to be okay." Draco comforted his daughter as he felt his eyes begin to sting.
"Tell me something happy in case I don't make it." Sadie looked at her parent's all the blood was draining from her face.
"Don't talk like that." Hermione looked at her daughter. "We're together now. We'll be one happy family isn't that what you always wanted?"
Sadie began to cough.
"We're getting married." Draco soothed his daughter.
Sadie smiled up at them. "It's about time."
The paramedics soon came in and quickly put Sadie on a stretcher.
"Sadie, baby." Hermione held onto her daughter's hand as they ran to the ambulance. Sadie glanced at Hermione weakly. Her face was pale and she was as cold as ice.
"We're almost there you need to hang on for me, okay?" Draco looked at his daughter. "You can't leave me now I just found you."
"I'm sorry." Sadie began to cry as her vision blurred.
"Sadie," Hermione shook her head. "Please."
"I love you." She whispered and shut her eyes. The ambulance doors flung open as they rushed Sadie into the ER.

"Earlier today Samantha Granger was finally found but sadly she was shot three times in the back. Police haven't given out the name of the suspect but say that she has already passed on. Samantha Granger who is fifteen ran in front of her mother before the suspect could shoot her. It turns out that they wanted to hurt the older Granger." The reported said from outside the hospital. "Samantha or otherwise known as Sadie is still undergoing surgery and from a report from one of the insider in the hospital it doesn't look like the fifteen year old is going to make it. One of the three bullets hit the portion near her heart another near her spinal column and one hitting the ribcage. We will give you an update later on the little girl's case later on tonight. Thank you."
~*~*~*~
"Hermione." Anne walked into the hospital along with Narcissa and Lucius.
Narcissa who like Anne was also crying spoke up, "How is she?"
"We don't know yet." Draco shook his head and held onto Hermione's shoulders tightly.
~*~*~*~
Inside the operating room surgeons were trying their best to keep the teenager alive.
"What kind of gun did she use?" One doctor asked as he began to remove the bullets.
"It seemed like a home made one although it was very powerful. Powerful enough to nearly touch her heart and she was shot from the back." One answered.
"We're losing too much blood! Nurse go and look for a donor for a type o."
"You do know that, that is the hardest type to find now a days?"
"Go hurry!"
~*~*~*~
"Is Sadie okay?" Crystal and the girls ran into the hospital.
Hermione looked at her weakly. Crystal took this as a sign and walked to her wrapping her arms around her.
"Ms. Granger!" A nurse came running out. "We need a person with a blood type of o."
"That's my blood type." Hermione nodded.
"Yes but you can't because of your anemia. We need to find another relative or at least a person with the same blood type."
"You do know that there are only ten percent of the people walking in this planet with that kind of blood type?" Jamie spoke up. (This is future so I just invented everything.)
"Draco?" Hermione looked at him.
"I'm A like both my parents." He looked at her weakly.
"Mom?" Hermione looked at Anne.
"B." "Where can we find a donor." Hermione cried in frustration.
"Wait!" Crystal yelled and closed her eyes. "I'm O!"
"Are you sure?" Draco asked.
"Positive." Crystal nodded her head.
"But you're underage." The nurse said.
"I'll call my parent's just set up the stuff." Crystal pulled out her cellphone and began to dial. She followed the nurse.
~*~*~*~
"Losing too much blood."
"We found a donor!" The nurse came running in.
"Good. Send her in."
"We will put a little medicine to let you sleep okay. We won't be removing much." The nurse looked at Crystal.
"I don't care." Crystal put out her left arm.
The nurse carefully put in the medicine and brought Crystal's bed into the operating room where Sadie was.
"That girl is under age." The doctor looked at the now sleeping Crystal.
"We got the parent's approval."
"Are you sure she's type O?" One spoke up.
"Positive." The nurse nodded as Crystal's blood began to flow into Sadie.
"No viral background."
"I think you can donate if you have asthma." The nurse nodded. (I'm not quite sure but since this is a fic let's just leave it to that)
"Okay. We got out all of the bullets out."
A long beep began to ring.
"Doctor her heart stopped!" The nurse yelled.
"Grab the machine!" (I forgot what to call it) He rubbed it together and yelled, "All clear!"
"Clear." Everyone backed out a certain distance.
"All clear?"
"Clear!"
"All clear?"
"Clear!"
Still Sadie didn't respond.
"Pump air into her." The doctor yelled. The nurse did as she was told but still Sadie didn't respond.
"One more time. Clear?"
"Clear!" The nurse replied.
The doctor tried the machine on Sadie again and still she didn't respond.
"Call it." He rubbed his temples.
"Time of death 10:54 on July. 29." The nurse began to write as they began to detach the blood transfusion wires.
"Let her come around on her own." He pointed to Crystal. "I need to go and tell her parents."
~*~*~*~
The two doctors walked of the room. All nine stood up and faced him.
The older doctor looked at the younger one and nodded his head obviously telling him to break the news.
He didn't know how he was going to tell them especially with the look on Hermione's face, "I'm sorry," was all her managed to say.
"No, please, no." Hermione cried in hysteria as Draco covered his mouth shaking his head as hot tears fell from his eyes as well.
"Oh my god." Megz cried.
"It can't be." The four girls went into pairs and cried on each other's shoulders.

A/N: Okay, this is the crucial part of the story and you better review because I'm going to have you guys vote and the majority gets there ending of the story. I can make what just happened a false alarm and Sadie can die. Personally I kinda think it would be okay if Sadie died but I need to know what you guys think so I am not going to update for the next two days to see and wait for all the votes to come in and of course take a short break from writing this story. Maybe I'll even start on my new one.
The two things you guys are voting for:
Sadie dies, angst ending Sadie lives, happy ending
But if you chose the first one the story becomes longer because I need to add another chapter for her funeral and a portion of a fifteen years later type of thing. If you chose the happy ending then there will only be two or three chapters left. It's your call!
See you all in a couple of days and remember you better vote if you want the ending you want to come out!
See you all in two days!
Peace and God Bless!!
