             "Master…He is in love with a mudblood. I saw them just know and they were laughing and having fun, Master,"

             "Ah…Draco's got himself a girlfriend, hasn't he? Maybe we can use her for my plan..,"

             "Yes..yes, Master. That is a brilliant idea, Master,"

             "Of course it is.."

             Lucius's thin lips curled to form a cruel smile. He patted servant, who was shaking with fear, on the back.

             "You have done well, Dimitri. Very well. Time for a present.." Lucius drew up his wand, sneering. The color from Dimitri's face drained away.

             "No…no, Master! Please don't do it, Master! Please! Dimitri begs you, Master!"

             "Crucio!"

             Hermione was strolling around the lake. All of a sudden, she had this feeling someone was following her. She turned, but she saw no one. She shrugged and continued walking.

             Then, she felt it again. This time, the feeling was much more stronger than the previous one. She turned around again, to find a rather disheveled looking man. He looked weak and tired, and was wearing clothes that seemed to have been worn for the past few days.

             The man drew out his wand from his pocket, and Hermione panicked.

             "I'm really sorry," he muttered, not being able to look up into Hermione's eyes.

             Before she could even say anything, she heard a stifled "stupefy" and felt her body stiffened, before dropping to the ground.
