Early the next morning Hermione sat quietly in the room her and Ginny shared. Her eyes were almost glued to the book. She couldn't stop reading, not now, not until she found out more information about this power. She could hear the distant sound of approaching footsteps. Slowly the door opened to reveal Ginny Weasley.
"I'm sorry," Ginny said. "I really am." She raised her wand high into the air and pointed it at Hermione. "Stupefy."
Hermione felt her body slowly fade into unconsciousness.
Ginny held her brother Charlie's wand high into the air.
"I hope this works," she breathed as she taped her wand against her body. She grabbed Hermione just in time for both of them to disappear from the Order's headquarters. They almost instantly emerged in a large living room. A large green sofa was sit carefully in the center of the room with more green chairs surrounding it. Across the floor was draped a dark green carpet rivaled only by the dark green curtains that covered the window.
"I thought that you forgot about me?" Draco sneered from across the room. Ginny gently laid Hermione's body on the soft coach. "And exactly how did you manage to Apparate here?"
"I used my brother's wand. When you get an Apparation license the Ministry watches when your wand is used to Apparate, not who actually does it," Ginny replied.
"Just leave her here and she'll be good as new in a couple of days," Draco said. "I found a few books that can help her. I'll have to help her though. I'll contact you when you can come back and get her."
"Excellent," Ginny said. "I have to get back before anyone notices I'm gone. If you do anything to Hermione it will be your head."
"Relax," Draco half laughed as he watched Ginny Apparated out of the room.
Hermione closed her eyes as she ran her hands over her head. She had a small knot where she had contacted something as she fell. She opened her eyes slowly to see that she was in a room that she had never seen before. All she could see was green in every direction.
"About time you woke up," a voice sneered from somewhere behind the coach. Hermione rose up quickly to see that she was in the same room as Draco Malfoy.
"What am I doing here?" Hermione demanded as she got to her feet. "The last thing that I remember is Ginny hitting me with a spell and now I'm here." She looked over at Draco. "You didn't jinx her into doing this, did you?"
"Of course not," Draco half laughed. "She wanted me to help you overcome your Dark Arts obsession thing. She thought that I was the only one that could do it."
"I want to go home." Hermione screeched. "You can't keep me here."
"Well yeah technically I can," Draco replied. "You see no one but a Malfoy can get on or off the grounds unless a Malfoy wants it done."
"You mean I'm trapped here," Hermione said shocked. Draco began slowly moving toward her but she backed away quickly.
"You'll get to go back once you've learned to cope with your obsession." Draco held out his hand. "Follow me and I'll give you the grand tour."
Hermione reluctantly followed.
"This is our main hallway," Draco said as he led the way down a long green hallway. Pictures of old Malfoy family members lined the walls. "In the room to your left is our fencing room, to the right is our dinning room and up the stairs is the bedrooms." Draco continued the tour up the stairs. He led the way to a large door at the end of the upstairs hallway. "Here's my room," Draco continued proudly as he opened the door to his room. His room was engulfed in even more green.
"Not to sound mean or anything," Hermione said as she began to regain her confidence. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"I found out something about you yesterday. I was watching an old memory in my father's pensive," Draco began. "You see, when Voldemort had all of his greatest followers gathered together I seen something odd about two of the people in the group. One man, had confident almond brown eyes, and his wife had beautiful curly brown hair. I saw that the girl was carrying a small child. After doing some research I found out who their daughter was." He paused for a slight second to let this all sink in. "Hermione it was you, you're adopted."
