Disclaimer: If I owned anything, tell me, why would I write FanFiction? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ When Hermione woke up she noticed she had no chains, no tiredness and was in a bed with her clothes on. She got up and walked around. Seemed a bit strange that they let her wander around on her own. Then she realised. This was her escape! But she needed to Apparate and she couldn't do that with the baby. She also didn't know how to Apparate. Try telepathy. {Draco! Draco, can you hear me?} {Hermione? Hermione is that you? Where are you? I'm so worried.} {Don't worry about me Draco. I need to get back home fast. Can I Apparate with the child and not hurt it really badly?} {Hang on!} Hermione waited for about five minutes when she felt Draco. {Hermione?} {Yep?} {You can Apparate with the child but do you know how to Apparate?} {I don't but I topped the classes. What do you do really?} {Think where you really want to be an visualise the place. Try really, really hard. Then when you think you have it say "Apparatio" and you should go to your place you want.} {Thanks Draco! I'll be home sometime soon!} Hermione thought really hard for her place. Really, really hard. She saw Draco's beach house. His place. Her place. Where did she want to go? She decided that Draco's place was probably closest to St Mungo's so she thought for that place. She visualised the stairs, his room, the backyard, kitchen and bathroom. "Apparatio!" she said quietly, and in a small poof she had disappeared. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ When the swirling stopped she opened her eyes and saw she was at Draco's place, or a place close to his, on the stairs. She tried to stand up but what little strength she had left was gone in her Apparation attempt and she collapsed on the stairs hoping that a saviour would come for her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ Draco had been trying to contact Hermione for half an hour since they had parted. He was at her place with Ginny and Harry, as well as Hermione's parents. They all knew something was up when Draco relayed his message with the group. "She said she'd be home half an hour ago. She knew what she had to do and she would have done it by now. Where is she? Hermione!" Draco yelled. Ginny was white with worry. Hermione's parents were ringing their hands. Harry was still and stony faced, thinking. Home. Was that Hermione's parents place? Her 'home'? Or here? What about Draco's place? Could she have gone there? Maybe she was at his place. "Um, Draco?" "Yes, Potter?" Draco replied. "Do you think when she went 'home' she meant here? What about her parents place? Her 'home' is there. Or your place, or mine. Are there any other places you've taken her that she could count as 'home'?" Harry said. "Potter, you're a genius! Never thought I'd say it, for I'm a Slytherin and you're a Gryffindor, but you are this time. She could be at the beach house. I'll pop around to those places you mentioned." A small bang and he was gone. The other's sat there, hoping with all their might that Harry was right. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ Draco figured that she had probably gone to the beach house. He arrived there and ran outside on the patio, the stairs and then proceeded to the rest of the places in the house. He raced as quickly as he could around the house a second time but he couldn't find her. He tried to think of Harry and Ginny's place and flew over to there. Surprisingly he actually managed to land in the right spot just by picturing photos that they might have had. But again, after checking twice, he convinced himself that she wasn't there. He again tried to picture Hermione's parents place. He thought of photos that they would have. Once the swirling had stopped he was shocked to find he had managed again to pick the right place. He was sure he would find her here so he walked around about four times. He was very disappointed to find that she wasn't there. He had left his place until last. She had only been there once or twice so he doubted that she would call that home. But he figured that he ought to check anyway. He landed in his bedroom and walked around the house. He decided to walk around his neighbourhood and think. He knew that Ginny could speak minds and he decided to contact her and tell her his findings. {Ginny? Ginny please reply if you can here me.} {Yeah, I can hear you Draco. Loud and clear. Have you found her?} {You must tell the others what I tell you ok?} {I'll tell them, but Draco what is it?} {Well, I have been to my beach house, your place, her parents and I'm at mine now. I haven't found Hermione. I thought I might go for a walk. Try and think of any other spots she might have thought of. I'll report back in an hour.} {Ok. Bye then. I'll relay everything.} {Thanks, Ginny. I'll try my best. Bye!} Draco walked out his door and walked along his street thinking. He decided to try and contact Hermione again. {Hermione? Hermione! Can you hear me?} {D.Dr.a.c.c.o.?} {Hermione! Where are you?} {D.Dr.a.c.c.o.?} {I'll find you Hermione. Stay alert. I'll find you Hermione. I promise!} He had found her, meaning she was somewhere close. He jogged along his street looking on all the grounds and stairs hoping he would see her somewhere. Deciding she wasn't down that way he ran back the other way. He got about two doors down the other way from his place and saw a heap on some stairs. He jumped up and rolled the person over and was faced by Hermione. She didn't look good. {Ginny!} {Draco! What is it?} {I found Hermione. She was a few doors down from my place. She doesn't look very well and I think she's unconscious. I'm taking her to St Mungo's because they will probably be better than a normal hospital. Explain to her parents what's happening and tell them we'll be in touch with them soon. I have to get going.} {Alright. Harry and I will meet you soon. Over and out.} Draco gripped Hermione's hand and thought for the hospital. With a swirl they arrived. A nurse pointed them to a spare bed and Draco clutched Hermione's limp body. "Now what happened, sir?" asked the nurse. "Well, I don't actually know. She was kidnapped earlier in the week. I found her near my house, collapsed on the stairs. She was like this when I found her and hasn't woken up since. I don't really know what is wrong with her."

"Right, well Mr. Malfoy," "How do you know my name?" Draco demanded quickly. The nurse folded back her head dress. "Madam Pomfrey! Oh, you have no idea how nice it is to see you." "I can't say the same for Miss Granger though. She looks as though she has had magic zapping chains on her. Then she looks like her magic ahs been taken out of her. How long is she pregnant?" "Must be about ten weeks," Draco replied. "Ok. I can get a healer and he can replace her energy levels." "DRACO!" he heard Ginny yell. "Ginny! Harry. She isn't good. Over here," Draco led them to Hermione's bed. "Oh.oh my god, Hermione!" Ginny nearly fainted. "Oh god. What the hell happened? She.she looks like she's dead," Draco tried to comfort the pair. Harry, in his ten or so years of knowing Hermione, couldn't believe what she looked like. Ginny was beside herself. She had never imagined her to look this bad. Madam Pomfrey bustled off looking for a healer. She soon arrived back and the healer placed his hands over Hermione's stomach and her head. His fingers threw out yellow sparks and Hermione's cheeks tinged with colour. Her breathing regulated and she looked better. "Because she is pregnant we need to do a little scan. It's called a Flugel, like what a Muggle calls and ultrasound. Just to check everything is ok with the child. Do we have permission to do this, Draco?" Madam Pomfrey asked kindly. "Uh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. I just need to go to the bathroom." Draco headed for the bathroom. He barely made it there when he threw up in the bathroom. Whoever the sick bastard was that had hurt his Hermione was having him to answer to. And he wasn't going to be kind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ A/N: Yeah, sure. Wasn't a cliffhanger. Nothing much happens next chapter (I don't think), but who knows, 'cept me. Hope you review and another chapter will be up soon.

Cuppy!
