Hermione~

She awoke in a cold, dark, and damp room, on a hard stone floor. She tried sitting up when she felt blood on her lip. Just as she had pulled herself into a sitting position the door opened and a bright light emanated from it. A man was standing in the doorway, but she couldn't tell who it was.

'Well what do we have here?' A cold chill went down her spine. She knew that voice. She was about to say something when the masked person spoke first.

'Crucio!' The spell made her hit her head on the wall behind her and she was knocked out instantly.

Seconds passed, then minutes and it looked as if she would never wake up, but her eyes fluttered open and scanned her surroundings. Bloody hell!!, was the first thought that ran through her head as a wave of pain went through the rest of her body. The pain from the blow to the wall had come back full force.

'Lucius.' she muttered, enraged.

'Yes, dear girl?' Lucius sweetly asked from the corner. She jumped when she heard him speak.

'It's okay dear. I won't hurt you....yet.' he said with a smirk. It was then she noticed where she was. It wasn't the dungeon room anymore but a bedroom decorated in a deep green. Lucius was sitting in a deep velvet green armchair in the shadows. A glass of red wine was in his hand and Hermione's wand was on the table next to him. She was lying on a bed covered in black, silver and green hangings and sheets.

'Do you want this?' Lucius asked icily picking up Hermione's wand and twirling between his fingers. She knew better then to trust him so she carefully inched toward the edge of the bed, but when she reached it she was thrown back.

'It's a shame that such a smart girl as yourself can't figure what's right in front of you.' He laughed a cold, heartless laugh. She tried to figure out what to do. Try to run...No way out. Scream...No...Bloody Hell!! There was no way out. She was trapped.

'I told my son not to waste his time with a Mudblood like you. It ruins the name and honor of the family. But I'll teach him yet. Malfoy's always learn the error of their ways.' Lucius finished.

'He's nothing like you! He despises you! He is everything you'll never be!!!' Hermione seethed. Lucius just laughed again.

'How brave of you to stand up to me.' His features changed from cruel humor to deadly seriousness.

'But you had better watch that dirty little mouth of yours before you get in trouble.' He walked up to the bed and reached through the barrier. He grabbed her chin and leaned in.

'You're lucky you're so pretty or I might just kill you here and now for that mouth.' He threw her across the room and she landed in a crumpled heap on the floor.

'Pity a mind and body like yours are wasted on such a heritage. Mudblood.' He turned and walked out of the room locking the door and leaving a broken Hermione on the floor, crying and wishing for Draco to save her.

Draco~

He landed with a thump on the on the stone floor of the entrance hall. He was home, but this place hadn't been home for years.... He stood up and started searching the house. Soon he turned a corner and heard voices.

'I couldn't find him. He wasn't in the common room or anywhere else. He's probably with that Mudblood bitch!' It was a girl's voice. Pansy! I knew it!

'Don't worry. Knowing my son he'll come after her and I'll get him as well. My plan will then be complete. This will teach them to defy me.' Lucius said in a malicious tone.

'Yes my master.' Pansy answered.

'Now go back to the study and wait for me.' Lucius ordered. He heard footsteps as they died away.

'You can come out now, my son.' Draco jumped when Lucius said his.

'How did you know?' Draco snapped, already knowing the answer.

'Please spare me that stupidity of yours. That Mudblood must have really done something to your mind. Come with me.' Lucius ordered.

'Why?' Draco snapped again.

'Don't play games with me son. I will hurt you, and you will loose.' Lucius turned on his heel and starting walking down the hall. Draco hesitantly followed. They walked down a couple of halls and to a door Dr noticed as his father's study. Lucius opened the door and motioned for Draco to enter. He walked in and heard the door close.

'Do you really think you can fight me? Crucio!' Lucius calmly said. Draco's body flooded with searing hot pain, and he fell to the ground. He could just barely hear his father laughing. He saw through his teary eyes his father put down his wand. The pain subsided but there was still a subdued, dull ache. His father just stood laughing.

'You'll learn soon enough my son.' Lucius said before flicking his wand and pinning Draco to the wall. It's over now....Draco inwardly thought as his father walked out of the door. Draco tried moving but was pinned in every way. There was nothing he could do. Think Draco...Think... He tried moving his hand to get at his wand but it was useless. Just as he was about to give up all hope the door flew open and it wasn't his father who walked in. He audibly gasped when the person dropped their hood. (A/N sorry about the short chapter, but i can't let you know who it is just yet!)
