Once again, if you recognize it, I don't own it.

Chapter 10

"Thomas. I didn't really expect you to show up."

"Well, I did, so let's get this over with."

"Wait just a second, rules. Rule one there are no rules, rule two, fucking stay away from Hermione."

"Ah, is Malfoy afraid that I can take his little girlfriend away from him?"

"No, just clarifying."

"Let's get this over with."

They both walked to the center of the room and bowed. Then they walked ten paces away in opposite directions. At the tenth pace, they turned around and fired curses at each other. There was so much noise you couldn't tell what curses were fired until they hit or if you could tell by the color of the sparks.

somewhere else in the castle

"Where could he be?"

"I don't know. Have you looked everywhere?"

"Everywhere I could think of."

"I don't know what to say."

"Where the hell is he?"

Hermione sat there thinking to herself. I wish I had a mirror like Belle had in the Beauty and the Beast. Then she got an idea.

"That's it!"

"What?"

But before any of them got a reply Hermione took off running down the corridor. Ginny looked at the other four people before they all yelled, "Wait!"

So, that led to six students running down corridor after corridor. They followed her up stairs, around turns and finally she stopped. She stopped in front of a burgundy door that she looked at with a look of hopefulness. She stood there for a minute before she finally opened the door.

They followed her inside and they gasped at what they saw. Only Harry knew what they were looking at, except for Hermione of course. There were pictures of mermaids and fish, along with a shell on a necklace. There was a pumpkin and glass slippers and a beautiful dress. An apple, and mirror, and a glass coffin, empty of course. Hermione didn't seem interested in any of it. The only thing that she seemed interested in was a corner of the room with a tea set, a candlestick, a clock, and a rose in a glass container. Beside all of that was a mirror. Hermione went strait to the mirror and picked it up. She turned to her friends who were looking at her in fascination. She smiled, "Oh, gods, I hope this works," she turned back to the mirror and said, "I want to see Draco."

All of the sudden the mirror lit up and Draco showed up in the mirror. He looked like he was trying to concentrate on something, when a flash of blue light came out of nowhere and he had to dodge it. The Draco in the mirror yelled out, "Come on Thomas, do you really think that you can beat me?"

Realization dawned on Hermione's face. She quickly looked behind Draco in the mirror trying to find out where he was. Then she knew. They were in the third floor corridor. She didn't know how exactly she knew that, she just did. She turned to the five people that had been watching her. "Do you all have your wands?"

All of them nodded yes. "Good, we are going to help Draco. He is in trouble."

As they ran up to the third floor corridor Hermione thought about something. She didn't know how Draco was in trouble. No, but she felt that he was. She had this gut feeling that something bad was going to happen to him soon, and she needed to get to him quick. Finally they made it to the third floor and Hermione opened the door with a wave of her hand so they wouldn't run into the door. They ran in and stopped, trying to find out which way to go. Then they heard a crashing sound to their right and they knew to go that way. They ran down towards their right and when they opened the door they saw Draco and Dean, dueling. This can't be the trouble I felt him being in. He can take Dean any day.

Just as she said that there was a deafening sound as about twenty death eaters appeared in the room. Harry grabbed Hermione, as Ron grabbed Pansy and Blaise grabbed Ginny and pulled them into a dark corner so they wouldn't be seen.

The death eater in the front stepped out in front of all the others and pulled down his hood.

Draco looked up at him and said, "Hello Damien."

Hermione was shocked. This was Damien. He was about the same height as Draco with velvet eyes. He had dark brown hair and looked like he couldn't be a day over 20. How can this be Voldemort's brother? I mean, he is too young isn't he? Oh man, now I am really confused.

"Ahh, Draco, fancy seeing you here. Oh, that's right; I knew you were going to be here. I mean I did tell Dean to bring you here, although he brought you here a little early. Probably wanted to have a little fun, though he could have been killed. His power doesn't even start to compare to yours."

"What do you want?"

"Well, Draco I want you to come back to us."

"No."

Damien smirked and shot a curse at him. "Once again come back to us."

"No."

Damien once again shot a curse at him. "Draco, I don't want to do this to you. So just come back."

"Hell no"

Another curse, "Come BACK!"

"What, are you deaf along with stupid, you jack ass. Hell no. Now leave me the fuck alone."

Damien's composed face contorted with anger. "That's it,"

"NO!"

Hermione had gotten out of Harry's grasp and ran in the middle of the room and stood between Draco and Damien. At the sight of her, Damien dropped his wand. "Well, what have we here?" He looked her up and down with a look that made Hermione's skin crawl.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" hissed Draco.

"Saving your dumb ass, that's what"

"Is this goddess yours Draco? How about we take her instead?"

Before Draco could respond Hermione did, "Touch me, and you will regret ever having a penis to cut off."

Damien's eyebrows shot up as did most of the other guys'. He groaned, and said, "Mmm, I am falling in love all over again."

Hermione bowed her head a little thought never severing the eye contact. "Get out"

"Not with out you."

Hermione's eyes flashed gold, "Get out now."

"No, not with out you, or your boyfriend, or both I wouldn't complain."

Hermione shut her eyes and smirked. When he open her eyes, they had turned gold completely. "GET OUT!"

The entire room shook. The entire castle maybe. There was lightning and energy coming off Hermione like no one had ever seen. Damien looked at her then to his companions and said, "Let's go" Then he looked back at Hermione and winked, "I'll be back for you, love." He blew her a kiss and disappeared.

Hermione shut her eyes and collapsed. The room had gone back to normal.

Oh, don't worry it is not over yet. I will explain everything like, how they got in to the castle and back out. I borrowed the entire room full of fairytale stuff from Charmed, which is one of my favorite shows ever.

Was it good? I hope you liked it.

Thanks to my reviewers.
