Chapter 6: Malfoy Manor
"We have to save her!" yelled Draco, who was standing in the middle of Dumbledore's office with a few others of the Order: Snape, Lupin, McGonagall, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and of course, Dumbledore.
"Just a minute, Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said, calmly.
"At least we know where they are hiding her: Malf-" McGonagall started.
"Mr. Malfoy, please wait outside for a moment," Dumbledore said, glancing at McGonagall. McGonagall went pale.
Draco sighed, and left the room.
"I'm sorry sir..."
Dumbledore held up his hand. "Yes, she is being held at Malfoy Manor."
Hermione slowly opened her eyes. She was in a cold, dark, room.
Her feet and hands were tied up. Her mouth was gagged.
Suddenly, a figure in a black cloak appeared.
"Hello again Hermione," it said.
Hermione went pale. "Your mother would like to see you."
As soon as these words left his mouth, a woman appeared. She was wearing a long, black dress and her long black hair was pulled back into a loose pony-tail.
The woman bent down next to Hermione. "Hello Hermione," she stated. She took a deep breath. "I'm your mother."
Harry lay awake, not knowing what to think. His scar had been tingling lately. But it wasn't stinging like usual, it was soothing, making Harry calmer, which made no sense what-so-ever to Harry. Maybe it meant that Voldemort was happy.
Hermione looked up into the face of the woman who had just said, "I am your mother," and looked deep into her eyes. They were ice-cold gray and had no emotion in them.
Hermione started to speak, but then realized that she couldn't because her mouth was gagged.
Her mother reached down and undid the gag that was wedged into Hermione's mouth.
Taking a deep breath, Hermione said, "Then why am I tied up here?"
Her mother took her time to answer, she looked at Voldemort, who was still standing a few feet behind Hermione and his wife.
Her mother turned back to Hermione. "We thought since you didn't know the truth, then, you might try to escape."
Hermione stared into her mother's gray eyes and said, "Well, I won't, so can you please untie me?"
Her mother once again looked at Voldemort and considered the choices.
Finally, she nodded, and started to untie Hermione's feet.
"Students! Please stay calm. Students! STUDENTS!"
Everyone turned to look at Dumbledore and no one said anything.
"Thank you. Now, we have no time to waste, so Professor Hagrid and Professor Trelawny will stay here and watch you as the rest of the staff and I will be gone doing some important business for the Order."
All of the students' ears were wide open, not missing a word that Dumbledore said. Harry, Ron, and Ginny were no exception. They were watching Dumbledore's every move.
He stood and all of the staff except Hagrid and Trelawny stood too. They walked down the middle of the four tables and left the Great Hall.
Suddenly, food appeared and everyone except Harry, Ron, and Ginny started to eat.
"Where's Hermione?" Ron asked suddenly.
Harry and Ginny looked around. Hermione was no where to be found.
Soon they were asking the whole Gryffindor table if anybody knew where Hermione was. No one did.
Draco watched as Potter, Weasel, and Weaslette asked everyone they knew if anyone knew where Hermione was. Draco remembered perfectly Dumbledore saying after he ordered Draco out, that she was at Malfoy Manor.
Hermione sat at a very fancy table, eating what was supposed to be lunch, watching Voldemort who was at the head of the table, and Aurora who sat on his left and Hermione who sat on his right. Lucious Malfoy was also seated at the table; opposite of her father.
She looked around. This room was obviously the dining room. It was very big with a lot of pictures, statues, and candles and such.
Everyone was dressed in a black outfit, except Hermione. She still wore her school robes. Voldemort wore a big long black robe over a pair of black slacks and shirt. Her mother still wore the black dress she had wore a little while ago. Lucious wore a outfit very similar to Voldemort's, but not nearly as nice.
Hermione had no idea where she was or why she was here; no one had told her anything.
After her mother had untied her, all three of them came here to eat.
Hermione picked at her food, not really hungry and not really full. She just wanted to know the answers to her questions that no one was really paying attention to.
She looked across the table to her mother, who didn't really seem to be eating either. In fact, no one seemed to be eating. She looked at each person at the table and their plates. Everyone's was at least half full. Then she studied their faces. Her mom seemed to be deep in thought, not knowing anyone was watching her.
Her father was looking straight forward, not even blinking.
Lucious was the only one who had actually taken a bite of his food, he didn't seem to pay attention that no one else was eating.
Hermione suddenly got angry. 'Why wasn't anyone looking at her or offering to explain her life to her?'
Hermione sighed a deep, mad sigh and stood up so fast, she knocked her chair over.
"WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT IS GOING ON???"
Everyone looked up, her parents coming out of their thoughts, and Lucious actually looking up from his now-empty plate.
Her mother jumped up. "Oh! I'm so sorry Victoria! I was so deep in my thoughts-"
"VICTORIA?" Hermione yelled even louder. "My name is HERMIONE!!!"
Her mother looked taken aback.
She looked at her father. She figured he would get mad, but he didn't. He just sat there, staring into space, going back into his thoughts...
But suddenly, he stood up. "Victoria- I mean Hermione, we need to talk."
Dumbledore and the rest of the staff followed him out the Great Hall doors, loosing the attention of the students as food appeared on the tables.
Dumbledore led everyone outside, and soon enough six brooms appeared.
"Here is the plan," Dumbledore began.
