Chapter 38

'Cercis are you back at the manor yet?' Blaise asked to him almost an hour into the lesson.

'Yeah Narcissa just apperated us back in. Why has Draco made the switch?'

'No but he will be soon, Snape just said to me that he'll take her attention off of her quill in' Blaise glanced at his watch '2 minutes'

'Fantastic, well done Blaise the plan is working perfectly. Now excuse me Narcissa is calling and I have a new pet to prepare for.'

Blaise sniggered and Draco looked curiously at his friend, with an eyebrow raised.

The dark haired boy nodded yes to the dragon's un-asked question. Draco smirked and looked over to where Granger was sitting with a Ravenclaw student that both Blaise and Draco recognised but did not know the name.

'Probably another mudblood student' Draco thought to himself while he waited patiently for Grangers concentration to be taken off of her quill.

A short while later it did, Snape stood in front of the class and called for everyone's attention, Draco saw Granger look up from her work towards the head of Slytherin and Draco immediately raised his wand and muttered

"Accio quill" Her quill flew into his outstretched hand and then he pointed his wand at the port-quill and muttered "Wingardium Leviosa" and it fluttered over to where the original quill was laying. He smirked triumphantly and looked up at Snape and nodded his head. A faint smirk appeared on the potion masters face and he then barked at the class to continue their work.

Blaise watched Granger like a hawk; he was waiting for her to pick it up.

'Cercis, Draco has swapped the quills all she needs to do now is pick it up. Are you ready?'

Blaise heard Cercis laugh 'Hell yeah'

They waited for another minute and then she picked it up and went to write something down.

'NOW!' Blaise screamed to Cercis. His eyes still on Granger. Or his were on where Granger was standing a few moments ago. He grinned.

The Ravenclaw that Granger had been working with screamed and Snape swiftly stalked over to her desk.

"What is the meaning of this disruption, Patil? 50 points from Ravenclaw" he snapped at Padma Patil.

"I'm sorry sir, " she mumbled "But Hermione she's disappeared."

The class grew even more silent then it was before and everyone looked over.

"Disappeared?" Snape mocked, an evil grin growing on his face. 'Well done my son. Note to self: award Blaise and Draco house points for doing such a magnificent job'

Patil nodded, "Yes sir. She was here while you were talking and then she just disappeared."

Snape sneered, "Well Granger has left her bag here so I must assume that she will return before the end of the lesson. However she did not leave with permission so, 30 points from Gryffindor, and 20 points from Ravenclaw for lying to me. Continue with your work all of you"

He barked at the class and then moved over to where Draco and Blaise sat.

He inspected their potions and smirked, "30 points each to Slytherin for a perfect potion" he said loudly then more quietly so only the two Slytherin's could hear he added, "And 50 points each for aiding so perfectly in Cercis' plan. Well done, your fathers shall hear off this fine achievement."

Snape then moved away to the front of the room and sat down behind his desk.

Draco and Blaise were trying hard not to laugh, so they settled for smiling instead, those in the class who saw this were scared at what they could be so happy about, yet not a single person linked the Slytherin's happiness with the disappearance of the mudblood Granger.

~S~

Granger was pulled away and out of Hogwarts over the countryside and she landed with a bump in the front room of the Malfoy manor.

"Hello Hermione" Cercis greeted her. She looked up at him and took in his features.

"A Snape." She stated, Cercis smirked.

"Well at least you have brains. Come, come child we don't have all day stand up and I'll show you around."

He offered her no help, just stood static and waited for her. She dusted off her robes and faced him.

"Whats going on?" she asked him. He just smirked at her.

"You Hermione, are at a very special mansion, where no one can find you."

Cercis watched the fear form in her eyes, even though she tried to hide it.

'Typical Gryffindor – Brave'

"This is the front room." She looked around and took in the huge fireplace, the book shelves full of books, the black leather sofas and chairs the many rugs on the black stone floor, the huge French windows, with black curtains and the many animal heads that lined the wall.

She turned to face him, and found that he was watching her, with a tint of hunger in his eyes. "You can use this room only a specified times – it would be to dangerous for you other wise, and we've only just met and so I want to get to know you better before you go and get yourself killed. Oh by the way if you attempt to leave the house not accompanied by me you will have your skin ripped off your body and your internal organs burned out, just so you know." He grinned at her and moved towards the door, she followed.

They stood in the main entrance, the auxinite floor glinted up at them, the house elves did their job well at keeping it so clean. Granger stood next to Cercis. He pointed to the huge doors that stood to their right.

"They are the main doors in and out of this place, if you want to stay alive don't open them or go through them."

Granger nodded, still scared, but the man she was with did not seem to mean any harm to her.

"What is your name?" she asked the tall raven-haired man as they moved though another door on their left.

"Cercis Snape. You know my father." He replied, whilst opening a door. "This room is the Anguish centre. At the parties you might want to avoid it. You never know what could happen." He grinned evilly.

Granger looked into the room and saw that the walls were lined with glass cages and in them were people who were being fed by house elves. In the centre of the circle room were at least 50 chairs and 20 tables for people to sit and watch those that were in the cages.

Granger shivered.

"That's horrible," she muttered to herself.

"Is it?" Cercis asked her. "Here the visitors can take their anger out on people who the world thought died years ago. The people are fed a potion that forces their bodies to heal themselves so that they last longer, they get fed and looked after by the elves."

Granger looked at him in shock, "It still horrible!"

"Would you rather angry or frustrated Death Eaters go around killing other people of the public who havent had the potion?" he asked her calmly.

The bushy haired girl didn't answer immediately. But after a mini debate to herself she did. "No I suppose not."

"Good." He moved out of the door and shut it again before leading her over to another door and opened it. Inside were Avery and Jugson. Avery was fucking a blonde woman whilst casting Crucio on her and Jugson was being fucked by a man of about 40. Cercis sniggered. Granger was covering her eyes, her cheeks tinged dark pink.

"Didn't know you bent that way Jugson" Cercis called over to him. The man that was fucking Jugson stopped as Jugson pushed him off.

"There's a lot you don't know Snape." He snapped back at him. Cercis smirked.

"Indeed." He replied before turning back to Granger. "This is the Inclination room." He said to her.

"I noticed." She replied in a timid voice.

"Who's this then Snape?" Jugson asked as he made his way over to the door. Jugson eyed Granger up, lust in his eyes. Cercis stepped in front of her blocking the Death Eaters view.

"Back off Jugson, she is not yours." He snarled at the older man.

"Are you sure you don't want to share her?" Jugson asked hungrily.

"No. Go back to your muggle whore Jugson and leave Granger alone." Cercis hissed at him. Jugson's eyes lit up.

"Granger? As in Harry Potter's best friend, Hermione Granger the Mudblood slut of Hogwarts? What's she doing here Snape?"

"She belongs to me, you will not touch her." He answered in a voice that was very similar to that of his father.

Jugson didn't back down. "Come on Snape, you cant have all the fun"

Cercis glared at him and hissed in parseltongue, knowing full well that Jugson wouldn't be able to understand him.

"Hermione is mine and mine along."

Both Granger and Jugson shuddered at the snake language, and Cercis smiled evilly.

"Remember you rank Jugson. Our Lord would not be to happy with you if he found out that you disobeyed an order."

"Of course." Jugson replied meekly.

Cercis turned to leave but he looked Jugson's naked form over once first and commented as he walked out of the door.

"You stay like that for much longer and you'll affect me."

Jugson looked down at himself and smirked before returning to the guy he had thrown off the bed when the newest Death Eater walked into the room.

Cercis led Granger across the hall to another room.

"This is the Dance show room. At the Parties there are a lot of dancers in here. It's a show to watch. Come."

They left the now empty dance room and Granger was looking at Cercis with a weird look on her face. Cercis noticed this.

"What?" he asked her as they moved to another door.

"You can speak parseltongue." She stated.

Cercis shrugged. "Yeah so?"

"Only two people are known to speak it. V-Voldemort and Harry."

Cercis turned to look at her "There are other people who can speak it that are not known. Don't always judge everything on what you know – there's nothing wrong with learning something new."

She scowled at him, "I know that" she snapped, "I just thought that there were only two people who could speak parseltongue that's all."

He gave her an insane grin and opened the door.

"This is the games room."

She looked inside.

"Why are there muggle games here too?" she asked him confused.

Cercis shrugged "No idea. Come on I'll show you where our room is." He turned and moved away and headed towards the staircase. Granger caught up with him as he began to climb it.

"Our room?" she questioned him.

"Of course, you didn't seriously think that you would be left on your own now did you? Who knows what you could get up to."

They reached the top of the stairs, and Cercis led the way to his room.

Once there he opened the door. The room was still the same as it had been that morning when he had awoken but now there was a huge mahogany wardrobe that had all his items that he had bought in the day as well as his Hogwarts trunk, which had been charmed not to look like his.

"This is our room Hermione."

He said to her as she moved inside.

"Its very um green." She commented.

"What do you expect for the prince of Slytherin?" he replied sitting down on the chair at the desk where Hedwig, still black, was perched.

"Hello girl, thank you for delivering those letters so fast. It's a long way." He ran his fingers through her silky feathers "You can head over to the owlry and get something to it if you like."  She hooted again and Cercis noticed then that she had a letter. He took it and she hooted again before flying off through an enchanted picture of an owlry.

Cercis looked over to Hermione, she was sitting on the king sized bed watching him.

Cercis opened the letter, and read.

Dear Son,

This is a fantastic plan, she might already be with you when you get this so I have enchanted your trunk not to look like it did, just in case. I will be seeing you soon.

Severus.

Cercis folded the letter and put it in the top drawer. Hermione was still watching him. She was still in her school robes.

"You can take your school robes off if you want – this is your home now."

She looked down to the floor and Cercis realised that she was crying. So he moved over to her and sat besides her.

"Its not that bad you know." He said quietly whilst slipping an arm around her shoulders. She tensed slightly but then relaxed into him.

"My home . . . my life . . . my friends" she sobbed "H – have . . . all been . . . taken a- away . . . from me!"

Cercis turned her to face him and using his right hand lifted up her face and gazed into her brown eyes.

"I am here." He said to her calmly, their faces only a few inches apart. She nodded. Cercis moved his face closer to hers and he saw that her eyes had closed. He grinned.

"Perfect" he muttered very quietly to himself before kissing her.

Biblios: hehehe Fluffy Bunny is the torture minister of the Eldiablo Army. Go to my homepage on my bio for more information. Sorry but the kidnap of Granger is a clean getaway. Hehehe.

Kaulin: Sorry but I love Ginny in this and she is staying evil – you're not the first one to say that you don't like her, but I have a lot of others that do (inc. me!) S/G? Unlikely Ginny is with the Dark Lord, yes she may fuck around but all my characters do that! Severus will not fall for her, trust me on this one. She is not equal to the Dark Lord, but she is higher than the Death Eaters (By being his Lady) Ginny at 15. Age has nothing to do with this, just because she is physically underage doesn't mean that she is mentally. In my opinion Ginny was forced to grow up a lot at the age of 11. Besides like they will listen to some stupid muggle law about sex – she is a powerful witch and is in love with a very powerful wizard. The Dark Lord is unlikely to wait until she has graduated before he fucks her and the Dark Lord is in his 70's but since wizards live so long that's like equivalent to about 35-40, which is only twice her age which is not that big (For example Catherine Zeta-Jones her husband (I forget his name) is 25 years older than her and she has two kids!). Thanks for your review anyway and continue reading.

Thanks to every one who has read my story and special thanks to every one who has reviewed! Your comments mean a lot to me, but just remember I don't take kindly to flames.

Keep reading and reviewing!
