I profusely apologize for my failure to update recently, I've been
suffering severe writers block. I'm sure however that you being the
marvelous readers you are that you forgive me. Anyway, onward.
Hermione yawned as she sat down on her bed. It was well past midnight and she was tired.
Suddenly a hand clamped around her mouth as an iron arm circled her waist. "No good fightin' love, I got my orders, and I'm gonna carry 'em out." Rasped a voice by her ear.
RING!!!
Draco slowly stretched a hand to shut off his alarm clock, but as he retracted it he felt cool parchment.
He sat up and lifted the parchment to his face for examination. His eyes narrowed as a low growl rumbled in his throat.
He ripped up his alarm clock and hurled the device into the wall effectively shattering it.
Draco dressed into jeans and a black turtle neck and stalked out of the room. He needed to find Potter.
Harry stood in the corridor leading to the Great Hall, his gaze fixed on the raptures above to regard Hedwig who refused to descend. This presented a problem considering she held Harry's wand in her left talon.
"Hedwig! I'm sorry about forgetting to feed you, but I really need my wand!" Harry pleaded.
He didn't notice as Draco came around the corner. "Potter!"
Harry looked down to see who had addressed him "What do you want Malfoy?"
"Potter... I need your help."
Harry's brow furrowed "What? Have you lost it?"
Draco sighed. Suddenly he grasped Harry by the lapels, whipped him around, and slammed him into the nearest wall. "No, not yet, but I speak the truth." He held up the parchment he had found for Harry to read.
"They kidnapped Hermione and will kill her if you don't meet them at Hogsmeade?"
Draco nodded.
"Why do you care?" Harry asked in a confused tone.
He released Harry "Because, I love her."
Harry guffawed "Right, you love her."
Draco turned his eyes to Harry's.
Harry searched his gaze "Oh my God, you do."
Draco sighed "Are you going to help me or not, either way I'm still going, it'd just be easier with you."
Harry nodded "I'll help, let's go."
Hermione screamed as her captures hauled her into an eerie office. She looked around her as the doors slammed shut.
"It's so hard to find good help these days isn't it?" A deep voice cut through her frantic thoughts.
She whirled around to address the origin of the voice and saw Lucius Malfoy.
"W-what do you want with me?" Hermione whispered.
"Oh it's quite simple really, I'm going to kill you if Draco doesn't join the Death Eaters, and once he has I'm going to kill you anyway." Lucius smiled.
"I'll kill myself before he gets here." Hermione vowed.
Lucius shook his head "No, you won't. I won't let you. You're my ticket to success."
Hermione sat down on the stone floor and wept as a feeling of hopelessness washed over her. She could do nothing.
