Disclaimer: No, no I don't own...but I'm planning on stealing Harry Potter as soon as my order for the ninja outfit comes in...
A/N: =3 You people do love me!....Or at least the story.....
Ookami Kage- Thank you. I'm glad you like it and I'll be sure to.
Athenakitty- If you can't answer the first question then there is no hope for you. The rest of the questions you'll just have to find out until the end, except the last question. I'm not going to kill Draco off! He's one of my favorite characters besides Snape! Just so happens I love to torture them but I wouldn't kill them.
Princess19- Thanks! You just extended my ego by a few miles! -
Sparkling silver angel wings- o.o your welcome and sure?
RaistlinofMetallica- . I'm glad you liked it and that it was a good present (Happy very late birthday by the way). And yes, no one should ever leave a baby alone! Yes, let us all chorus out "Bad Snape!" And I must say, your reviews always make me laugh and feel good!
NO NAME, lol- Thanks and I had to make Snape understanding, who wouldn't be if a child went missing?
DarkQueenD- Okies.
AnnieT- And you are to be thanked a thousand times because I had kinda sorta forgotten about this story, then I got your review! .
Draco walked down yet another corridor, just as he had done the last five. He let out a sigh and grumbled incoherently, every now and then the words "stupid" and "damn kid" could be heard. Shuffling along he heard whimpering coming down a hall that was a dead end. Looking around the corner of that hall, he saw the baby that everyone had been searching for. Since no one was around to see (except Tom) Draco gave a large smile. "There you are. You give a very good chase, little bugger"
Tom, who had been facing the deadend, turned his head to Draco and actually grinned at the sight of the blonde. Finally Tom wasn't lost any more! The baby reached out for Draco, whom picked him up. Looking around to see if any of his classmates or the professors were around, Draco shook his head. "Well, we better go find them now"
Going back up the hallway and turning to his left, Draco was stopped by a wand pointed between his eyes.
"Give me My Lord"
Random Hallway
Harry, Hermione, and Ron had split up for the search. Hermione was off checking the corridors near the mainhall, Ron was checking the entrances to all the Houses, and Harry was wandering around each and every hall that he could find. As Harry checked the corridors, he wondered if anyone had found Tom. He turned a corner and was stopped dead in his tracks.
On the ground was the body of Draco Malfoy.
Harry's eyes widened and he shouted for his friends, professors, anybody. "HERMIONE! RON! PROFESSORS!"
The first to reach Harry was Albus who took one look at Draco and immediately summoned up a stretcher. Quickly, they rushed Draco to the infirmary with Albus shouting out instructions to Harry. "Get Professor Snape and tell him to have all the students go back to their dormitories!"
Not wasting a precious second, Harry dashed down the halls, in search of Professor Snape. He found the Potions Master near Dumbledore's office and quickly went up to him. "Professor! Professor Snape!"
Severus turned his head to Harry and raised an eyebrow, giving the boy a look that would have sent most students fleeing. "What is it, Mr. Potter?"
Catching his breath, Harry tried to explain as fast as he could "I was looking for Tom in one of the halls and when I turned into a corridor I saw Draco's body on the ground. The headmaster just went to take Draco to the infirmary and he told me to tell you that you were to tell the students to all go back to their dorms." Another breath had to be taken after he said it all.
Acting immediately, Severus growled at Harry "Follow me" The Potions Mater strode quickly down the hallway and headed straight to the Great Hall.
When they had arrived at the Great Hall, only a few students were present and accounted for. Snape, having looked around, went to the head table and faced the inside of the Great Hall. Drawing out his wand, he cast a voice amplifying spell. Testing it out with a few coughs, his voiced sounded through the whole of the school.
"Students, at this moment all of you are to go to your dormitories, now. So help anyone I find out wandering the halls in five minutes." He then took off the spell and turned to Harry. "You will follow me to the infirmary"
Not daring to argue with Snape at this point in time, Harry just nodded and trotted to keep up with the Professor's long strides. They walked in silence until they had gotten to the infirmary. Upon arriving, Dumbledore was waiting for them.
"Ah. There you two are. I had heard your announcement Severus, so I assume the students are taken care of"
Snape nodded curtly and looked towards the infirmary entrance "I must say Headmaster, perhaps it is wise that we check on Mr. Malfoy, now?"
"Of course, of course" murmured the Headmaster as he lead the way into the infirmary, with Snape and Harry trailing behind.
Random Classroom
The loyal follower of Voldemort held a sleeping Tom in her arms. She looked lovingly down at him, or rather as lovingly as a cold blooded killer could, and cooed at the baby.
"My darling Lord, you will flourish once more....I'll raise you myself" She started to rock the baby as if it were her own child. Smugly smiling to herself, she went over to the classroom door. She had heard the announcement made by the traitor and knew that she'd have to get out of the castle quickly but she couldn't help but be proud of herself. Afterall, she alone had gotten her Lord back. No one else. They were all too weak to save him....
But not she.
Infimary
Severus, Harry, and Albus all stood near Draco's bed, with rather grave expressions on them. The most with the saddest expression was surprisingly Harry, whom dropped his head just a little. It wasn't like him and Draco were friends. They now tolerated each other.....a little bit of the time, but never would he truly wish for Draco to be hurt.
Raising his green eyes to his headmaster and professor, he asked the one question that had been on his mind ever since they found Draco "Who would do this?"
"Someone who probably had a grudge against Mr. Malfoy" Severus concluded as he looked at his 'star' pupil.
"Or it might be something deeper then that, Severus" Albus had replied and he took out his wand. Pointing it at the platinum blonde head of Draco he started muttering a spell. Silver sparks went out of the end of the wand and a small silvery window thing went over Draco's head.
"This spell is to see the last things that Draco saw before he was knocked unconcious" Albus told them before they could ask.
Muttering another little spell an image appeared on the small silver window. It was of baby Tom. The voice of Draco echoed in the infirmary.
"Well, we better go find them now"
Through Draco's eyes in the image they watched as he was walking back down the hall and they all shuddered when a cold voice filled the room.
"Give me My Lord"
They watched as the image blurred to reveal a woman who was a bit well known.
"BELLATRIX!?"
End Chapter
-.-;; You all knew the Bellatrix thing was coming....I was thinking about changing who it was because most of you did know...but I didn't. I am very very sorry that it took so long to get this chapter up! Finals came and went and I was busy. I also have a job now but you can be sure that I will try my very best to get the next chapter up sooner!
Review please!
Because of just one review that came in a little late, I remembered this story! So Reviews are GOOD!
