DISCLAIMER: I'M SICK AND TIRED OF WRITING THIS! CHECK THE OTHER CHAPTERS!

Quick Author's Note: Just to clear things up…Hermione has different colored hair than Blair's because they aren't identical twins. Also, Hermione isn't afraid of Voldemort because she knows he won't hurt her. He wants her baby and would do anything to get it. Hope that helped you guys!

"Blair, you and Hermione are connected," Andrews began.

Everybody gawked at Professor Andrews.

"I knew there was something weird between us, what is it?" Blair asked.

"You and Hermione Granger are fraternal twins," Andrews said.

Blair wobbled a bit where she was standing and had to hold onto Blake for support.

"You mean we are sisters? Then how come we don't have the same parents?" Blair asked.

"Your real parents died when you were both born. You went to a family in America and Hermione went to a family in England," Andrews said.

Blair's face took on a contorted form and she stared at Professor Andrews.

"You mean to say that the William's aren't my real parents; I was adopted?!?!" Blair said.

"Yes, you were adopted," Dumbledore said.

"Oh for Merlin's sake! Why didn't anybody tell me this before?" Blair said.

"We would have, but we didn't even think you would ever meet. Then this all happens," Andrews said.

"You said I would be able to help find Hermione; how is that?" Blair asked.

"All twins have a special connection between them," Dumbledore began, "you and Hermione are connected by that too. Twins are able to read each other's mind when one or both of them is in serious trouble. If Hermione truly is in trouble, then you should be able to find her. It's kind of like a magnet affect; you are south and Hermione is north; you attract."

"You're saying that I will be able to 'attract' Hermione and that is how we will find her? So basically you could just put me in the Rocky Mountains and let me lose and see where I go," Blair said, half joking.

"Exactly what we will do, except we will be with you," Dumbledore said.

"When can we go?" Draco asked, anxiously.

"We can go tomorrow, we need to make sure that we are missing no information," Andrews replied.


Once everybody was off of Felton Academy grounds, they disapparated to the Rocky Mountains.

"Now Blair, which way do we head next?" Professor Andrews asked.

Blair's eyes became glassy and she began to spin around.

"What is happening to her, Professor," Blake asked concerned.

"She is almost in a dream right now; she is navigating. No need to worry," Andrews said.

Blair suddenly stopped. "I know exactly where she is."

Ch. 16-Where is Hermione?

"I know exactly where she is," Blair said with a confused look on her face, "I just have no idea how to get there. I mean, I can picture everything about where she is but none of the surroundings."

"Just try to describe everything you can about where Hermione is," Professor Andrews said.

"Let's see," said Blair while closing her eyes, trying to remember, "It was a cave, an underground cave. It had a manor in the cave though. Hermione's room is in the top tower. She can see out into all the land because her tower looks like a tree," then Blair opened her eyes. "We have to find her. She's not scared because she knows Voldemort wants her baby but we still need to find her fast."

"Well, which way do you think we should go?" Blake asked.

"I think we should split up but we can't go too far from each other in case something happens."

"Draco, you go with Professor Dumbledore and Blake and Blair you can come with me," Professor Andrews suggested. They all nodded and headed off in opposite directions. They agreed that if either of them was in danger they should set of red sparks and the others would need to come right away. Dumbledore and Draco headed west because that was the direction Blair stopped spinning in and they thought there might be some kind of connection.

"Keep you're eye out for anything that might look like an entrance to a cave and big trees," Dumbledore said looking down at Draco. "There is no need to worry, Hermione will be okay. Remember what Blair said?" Draco looked up at him.

"Yea, Hermione isn't scared of Voldemort because he wants our baby." Shit! I just admitted that I got Hermione pregnant to our Headmaster! Damn it! Hopefully he won't care. Draco thought before he went on. "I still worry about her though. Nothing is every guaranteed with you-know-who." After that neither of them spoke while they walked, they just looked for what Blair described. (That's a good thing on Draco's part)

"I hope the others are okay," Draco said with a concerned expression, "We haven't heard from them in awhile."

"They'll be fine. They would have let us know if anything had happened to them." Just then red sparks started flying up into the sky about a mile away. Draco and Dumbledore just stared at each other then ran as fast as they could towards the red sparks. They pushed past many branches and half-tripped over a lot of tree roots. That guy is in pretty good shape, being as old as he is. Draco thought as he looked over at Dumbledore who was running right next to him. In the distance Draco could see Andrews, Blair and Blake all standing at what looked like somewhat of a clearing. When they were standing right next to the threesome Draco noticed what they were all staring at. How the hell are we supposed to find Hermione in this?!

Hermione was very bored the next day. She was locked up in her room the whole time with absolutely nothing to do. She thought about writing to Draco again but she didn't have an owl and there was no other means of sending/receiving any mail. She hadn't seen Voldemort the whole day, apparently he had other things to attend to. Probably killing more innocent people, Hermione thought as one of the house elves knocked on her door.

"Come on in," the house elves could get through any charmed lock without even trying.

"Your dinner Miss," the house elf announced. He set Hermione's dinner down on her desk and left quickly. She heard the lock click and knew that she was again locked in this room. Her meals had been brought up the whole day and she never left the room. She was in no mood to eat and walked over to the window to try to get some fresh air. She was pretty much used to the view her room had. There were trees everywhere on top of the cliff. The cave she was sat among many others in what looked like a valley. There was a big rock cliff that separated the forest from the caves. There was a small clearing at the other end of the forest, far from the cave she was in. Today the view was different though. There were five people standing in the clearing looking at the caves amazed. Why the hell would caves be so interesting when you can barely see into them?! Hermione thought before she took a closer look at who was actually standing there. What in the world?! How did they find me?! Hermione thought as she stood there in awe. I can't believe they actually found me! Wait, they haven't found me yet. All they know is that I'm in a cave. There are hundreds and hundreds of caves here. Hermione thought with a disappointed look on her face. Maybe that's why they're just standing there; trying to decide what to do next. (A/N: Sorry if I wasn't supposed to put a semi-colon there. English isn't my best subject.) She knew they were to far away for them to see her waving and she didn't dare yell. A Death Eater might hear her and chase her rescuers away. She would just have to wait and hope that they found her. She sat by the window for about another ten minutes, watching them discuss what to do next and then realized that she was quite hungry. She went over to the desk and ate her dinner quickly. She wanted to get back and watch her visitors, hoping she would be able to catch their eye.

"Are any of you hurt?" Dumbledore asked.

"No, we are fine," Andrews informed everyone, "we just thought one these might be where Hermione is."

"Yeah, I kind of get this feeling that she's here somewhere," Blair told everyone.

"Well, what do you think we should do?" Draco asked.

"I say we split up again," Blake suggested, "It makes most sense, doesn't it?"

"I suppose so," Dumbledore said, "Draco and I will go that way," he said pointing in the direction of Hermione's cave, "You guys can go that way."

"Red sparks again Albus?" Andrews asked.

"Make them red if someone is hurt and green if you've found something." Andrews nodded and walked in the opposite direction of Draco and Dumbledore. For about an hour the two searched every cave in sight. They still had no sign of Hermione or any manor for that fact.

Hermione was looking out her window most of the evening. She could tell that they were all searching for her because she hadn't seen any of them in awhile. A couple times she thought she saw Draco's platinum blond hair but she just told herself it was a figment of her imagination. Wow…being cooped up in this room all day has its effects. That's when she saw them; Draco and Dumbledore were coming towards the cave she was in. She waved out her window but apparently she blended in with the tree.

"Pssssttt…"she said quite loudly but not loud enough for anyone else to hear. Draco stood up straight and she could tell he was trying to listen. "Up here." Draco looked up and saw Hermione waving at him. He had the biggest smile on his face and tapped Dumbledore on the shoulder. Dumbledore stood up and saw Hermione and waved back.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked.

"I'm fine," Hermione insisted, "Just get me out of here."

"Do you think you can climb down from there?" Dumbledore whispered for fear of being overheard by the wrong person.

"I don't know, what if I fall?" Hermione said a little too loud.

"We'll catch you," Draco said reassuringly, "we promise."

"Okay, here goes nothing." Hermione swung one leg over the windowsill and looked down.

"Where do you think you are going?" a cold, mean voice asked.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Draco saw Hermione being pulled back into the room and started to climb the tree after her. Dumbledore pulled him down and told him to stay.

"I'm going to go get her. You stay here in case she escapes by herself." With that, Dumbledore fled into the cave, wand at ready. Draco just stood there, he knew those hands. They were the hands had threatened him many times before.
