Hermione was very tired and fell asleep right away. In the middle of the night she heard someone in the common room. She didn't think anything of it and closed her eyes again. That's when she heard the knob on her door turn and three shadows come her way. She tried to open her but before she could, someone grabbed a hold of her and pulled her out of bed. She recognized them right away, they were Death Eaters and they had come to get her. She kicked and screamed but they would not let her go.

Draco heard Hermione screaming and ran out of his room into the common room. He saw her being pulled out the door and saw the last wisp of the Death Eaters' cloaks. He knew he was too late. He ran to get Blake and Blair out of their beds, hoping they could help him save her.

Chapter 14- A Stupid Death Eaters Big Mistake
He ran into Blake's room first.
"Wake up!" Draco yelled.
Blake's eyes opened with a look of surprise, "What is it?"
"Hermione's gone. They took Hermione!" Draco frantically yelled.
Blake quickly got out of bed and began to put a robe on; "Who took Hermione?"
"Death Eaters," Draco said and sighed. He knew his father had a big part on this.
"I'll go wake Blair," Blake said, "You go tell Professor Andrews."
A look of confusion came onto Draco's face. He forgot how to get to the Professor Andrew's office.
"Oh, you go through the portrait of Tom Felton. The password is Twizzler. Hurry!" Blake said when he noticed the confused look on Draco's face.
"Thanks," Draco mumbled and ran to find the portrait.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Professor Andrews!" Draco yelled running into his office.
"What is it Draco?" Andrews asked.
"It's Hermione- the Death Eaters took her," Draco said, while trying to catch his breath.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blair was already up since she shared a room with Hermione, she heard the Death Eaters come. The Death Eaters had put a binding spell on her, so she couldn't move.
"BLAIR!" Blake yelled. He muttered the countercurse and Blair ran up to Blake.
"Hermione's gone!" she said while pressing her head into Blake's chest. She had only known Hermione for a couple hours, but she felt like she had known her forever.
"It's okay, we'll find her," Blake said as he stroked Blair's hair, "It'll be okay."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione was forced to disapparate to a cave in the middle of the Rocky Mountains.
When she got there, she was about to be thrown into a cell until a low voice spoke. "Do not hurt the girl! She is carrying the child that will bring me immortality!"
The Death Eaters pushed her into a cold cell with only some hay to keep her warm.
"I AM NOT A FRICKEN ANIMAL YOU KNOW!" Hermione yelled.
"Shut the hell up girl! You're right though; you are not an animal. You're lower than an animal; you are a MUDBLOOD!" one Death Eater yelled back.
The Mudblood comment got Hermione's blood boiling and she began to pound on the door.
"Do not make me put you under the Imperious Curse so you will shut up," the same Death Eater said.
Hermione gave up. It was no use. She lay down on a pile of hay, staring at the door. A rat ran across the floor and Hermione shrieked.
The very annoyed Death Eater came over to her cell. "What is the matter with you?
"A-a-a rat!" Hermione said, standing on her tiptoes like she was trying to get off the floor. "It's unsanitary, and if Voldermort wants a healthy baby, he better give me nicer living conditions."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I see," Professor Andrews said, "Lillyanna," he addressed his secretary, "please owl Albus Dumbledore and let him know that Hermione has been kidnapped. Tell him to come here as quickly as possible."
"Will do," said the squeaky voice of Lillyanna.
"Until Professor Dumbledore gets here, all we can do it wait. I want you, Blake and Blair to lock all of the windows in your room and stay together. I'm sure that the Death Eaters won't come back, but this is just a precaution.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Death Eater seemed to think Hermione had a good point, so he went to go talk to Voldermort.
"The Mudblood says that where she is staying right now is unsanitary, and if you want the baby to be healthy then she should be placed in better living conditions," the Death Eater explained.
"Then what are you waiting for? If that is the price for a healthy baby, then give her the nicest room you can find!" Voldermort yelled at the Death Eater.
"Yes, my Lord."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Blake, Draco and Blair sat in a circle in their common room. Blair noticed that Draco's eyes were very watery. He must really love that girl. I wish Blake would love me that much. "Draco, are you okay?"
Draco seemed to wake up from a trance; "I should have stayed with her tonight. She said she was worried, but I brushed it off thinking we were safe."
Blair gave him a hug. "It'll be okay."
"Do you even know why Voldermort wants Hermione?" Draco asked suddenly angry with her for not understanding.
"Why?" Blair seemed worried.
"Because, Hermione is carrying my baby! That baby will bring immortality to Voldermort if he gets a hold of it!" Draco yelled.
"If You-Know-Who really wants her baby, then he won't harm her. And Hermione looks like she is only a couple weeks pregnant, so she will be safe for a very long time. Don't worry, we will find her."
"I guess your right, Blair," Draco said, but he still couldn't get him mind off of Hermione. Is she okay? How are they treating her? Where is she?
"Is anybody up for a game of cards?" Blake asked.
"Sure!" Blair said.
Draco didn't say anything; he just lay down onto the couch, wishing Hermione were by his side.
"Draco? Are you in?" Blake asked.
"No, maybe the next game," Draco mumbled into the pillow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Death Eater came back and opened Hermione's cell door.
"Follow me," he said and Hermione followed him out.
The Death Eater led her to a big room that looked a bit like the one Hermione had at Hogwarts. There was a big four-poster bed in the center of the room, a vanity, desk and a large bathroom with a gigantic bathtub.
Now where is Draco to share it with me? Hermione laughed out loud and the Death Eater glared at her.
"Do you like this room or would you rather have your cell?" he asked, obviously annoyed.
"I love it. Sorry I just remembered something, that's why I was laughing," Hermione replied.
"Breakfast will be brought to you in two hours," the Death Eater walked out of the room, and locked the door.
Great, now I get a good room, but I am stuck in boredom. Hermione looked around the room. This is one really stupid Death Eater. She thought when she noticed a window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Draco, you should really try to get some sleep. You look horrible," Blair said.
"I'm fine. I think I might try to send Hermione an owl. If she gets it, then she will be able to tell us where she is," Draco said.
"That's a good idea, Draco. But what are the chances Hermione will get it?" Blake asked.
"She probably won't get it, but it's worth a try. Do you have an owlry in this school?" Draco said.
"Yes we do. I'll take you to it once you write her a letter," Blair said.
Draco took out a piece of parchment and began to write.
"Okay, all finished. Are you ready to go?" Draco asked Blair.
"Sure, come on," Blair said and led him down the corridor to a stairwell. "If you walk up to the top, there is a wooden door that says Owlry on it. You can't miss it. I'll meet you back in the room."
"Thanks," Draco walked up to the owlry and found a black owl that looked somewhat like his fathers. It'll be a good enough of a disguise. He tied his letter on the owl's foot and put a privacy spell on the letter. Only Hermione would be able to read it. "Do whatever it takes to get this to Hermione Granger," Draco said and released the owl into the dark night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione sat on the bed, braiding her hair. I might as well look good if I can't feel good. "Much better," she said when she was finished. She lay back down on the bed. How could I have prevented this? Oh yeah, Draco could have stayed with me! But then again, that probably wouldn't have helped; the Death Eaters would have just put a binding spell on him like they did to Blair. Hermione heard a tapping noise and looked over at the window. There was an owl with a note attached to its foot! Hermione leapt off of the bed and unlatched the window.
"Thank you so much!" she brought the owl in.
"Stay here, I will need you to bring back this reply," Hermione said as she set the owl down on the windowsill. "You have to be quiet!"
Hermione untied the note and read it. It was from Draco!
Hermione-I truly hope that you get this note. I am so sorry that I didn't stay with you. Don't worry. Help is on the way; Professor Andrews already talked to Dumbledore and they are forming a search party for you. Can you tell me where you are? Hermione everything will be okay. Stay strong for the baby's sake. I love you more than you will ever know.
Draco
Hermione smiled. Thank you Draco! She couldn't find any spare parchment, so she had to write on the back of Draco's note with a pen she found. She tied it to the owl's foot. "Take this to Draco Malfoy. If you can't find him, then take it to either Blake, Blair, Professor Dumbledore or Professor Andrews or any other teacher at Hogwarts or Felton Academy."
Just as the owl flew off, the Death Eater knocked at Hermione's door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco decided to play cards with Blair and Blake to take his mind off of Hermione. He was just about to put his winning Poker hand down when an own came and dropped a letter down next to Draco.
"Is it from Hermione?!?!?!" Blair almost yelled.
"Yes," Draco said, very excitedly as he began to read the note out loud to Blake and Blair.
Draco-I hope this finds you. I am so scared. I know Voldermort won't hurt me because he wants this baby. I think I am in some cave in the Rocky Mountains. That is the only information they gave me. I know, it doesn't help much. What is going to happen to me? I am already getting morning sickness; I have been throwing up ever since I got here. I am so miserable, but please don't worry about me. I'm strong-I have to be after putting up with how you treated me for 6 years. Please find me soon! I miss you so badly. I love you.
Hugs and many kisses,
Hermione
"Let's go show this to Professor Andrews. Maybe they can track the letter." Draco said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I can only think of one way we could possibly find Hermione," Albus said.
"What is that," Tom (Professor Andrews) asked.
"Have you by chance told Hermione and Blair a little about themselves yet?"
"No. I didn't think we would need to. Are you thinking that the connection between the two might be able to save Hermione?"
"Exactly."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: Hey everybody! Jenn here! How'd you like this chapter? You won't find out what the connection between Blair and Hermione is till the next chapter, which should be posted later today or tomorrow.
