Hey guys! How did ya like the last chapter? Bet you didn't expect that! Haha! It's just starting. Well here's Chapter 14. Enjoy!
Draco sat on the couch, defeated. I let him get her. If I had only woken up early. Why didn't I hear her? Why didn't I save her? Gabriel will be defeated. I've got to save her. he thought. "But how?" he muttered aloud.
He slowly got up and went to the window. 'They had been heading northwest. Towards Ireland, I guess. To his castle. Of course. I can't do it alone. I've got to get the power source. But he said someone had it that should be dead 17 years ago in his first note. Who should be dead right now?' he thought, still gazing towards the west. 'Potter. Potter should be dead now. But why is Harry the source? What does he have?' Draco thought as he went upstairs, taking them two by two. Draco checked his watch. It said it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He quickly changed clothes and put on a traveling robe.
He headed back downstairs and was at the door when he heard a cry. He quickly turned around, looking for its source. His eye's scanned the room and landing on a kitten in the middle of a big chair. He went to see what was wrong with Arwen and found that she was laying on something. He picked it up and saw it was a compass and it had Gabriel's seal on the back.
"Arwen, you clever cat. This will lead us to Ginny, hopefully." Draco cried, picked up and throwing the cat into the air. He put the kitten in his robe pocket, made sure he had his wand, and went to find Potter.
"Ron, its your turn." Harry said, looking up at his friend. Ron was sitting on the couch, Hermione next to him. Ron looked at the chess game and slowly moved his piece.
"There," he said, not looking up.
"Harry, did do you your homework that Snape gave us?" Hermione asked, looking at him.
"He gave us homework?" Ron asked, looking up, confused.
" Yes, Ronald. We do have homework. I'll help you with it later." Hermione said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Okay. Thanks. It's your turn again, Harry." Ron said, looking up across to his friend.
"Oh, okay." Harry said, coming out of a daze. He moved his piece and was about to tell Ron to go when he heard a banging sound on the door of the common room. "Did you guys here that?" he asked, making sure he wasn't imagining it.
"Yes, go see whose at the door." Hermione told him, shooing him to the door.
"Okay, I'm going. I'm going." Harry said, getting up to get the door. He opened it and there was Draco, panting from running. "Malfoy, what do to want? To gloat some more?"
By that time, Ron had also gotten up to see who it was. "Malfoy? What are you doing here?" Ron said, getting defensive.
"Ginny... taken..." Draco gasped, trying to breathe.
Ron grabbed Draco by the collar. "Ginny? What did you do to her?" Ron asked, shaking him.
" Ron, he can't talk with you doing that." Hermione said, rushing to his side. Ron looked at her and shrugged his shoulders. He dropped Draco on the floor and asked again "Where is Ginny?"
Draco stood up and tried to catch his breath. He moved to the couch and sat down, breathing hard. "She was taken. Taken by Gabriel." Draco said, looking up at them.
"Taken? Gabriel?" Ron asked, falling down in a chair, looking utterly confused.
"Malfoy, did you say Gabriel? Like the vampire Gabriel?" Hermione asked, looking worried.
"Yes. How do you know about him?" Draco asked, looking up at her.
" He was in one of the books I read. He was this famous evil vampire tried to steal something from this wizard but couldn't. Unfortunately, the wizard hid it and died before anyone else knew where it was. No one knew where Gabriel went away after he killed the wizard. They think the wizard hid a power source so he couldn't find it, but no one knows for sure." Hermione explained, still looking at Draco. "But what does this have to do with Ginny?"
" I don't know. But we have to go out after them. We have to save her." Draco said, standing up. 'Gin's bait. Bait for Potter. So he's got to come with me. Hopefully we can just kill Gabriel and be done with it.' he thought, nodding his head.
Ron was still sitting on the couch. He was obviously thinking hard about this. "What if your lying to us about this? What if she's up in her room and you just want us to leave the common room for you to spy on and trash?"
" I have this to prove it." Draco said, fishing through his pocket to find the compass. He found it and handed it Ron to inspect. "Is that good enough?"
" I guess so." Ron said, handing it back to Draco. "Wait, so where did she go? Where did he take her?"
" Probably his castle in Ireland." Draco said, shrugging his shoulders.
" How do you know all this?" Harry asked, speaking for the first time.
" I read books too. Just I can get more details, that's all." Draco said, not looking up.
Harry still looked suspicious but ignored it. "So she's in Ireland. We've got a compass. Let's go."
" Well you will need food. And Harry you'll have to get a traveling cloak. It's going to be cold outside." Hermione said.
" Well okay. Who's all going?" Harry asked, looking around.
" I definitely am. And Potter is. Right?" Draco asked, tilting his towards Harry.
"Right. But we can't take every one." Harry said, looking from Hermione to Ron.
" I'm staying here, just in case anyone asks about you guys or anything like." Hermione said. "Ron, why don't you stay with me. You can help break the news to Travis, Brittany and especially Cory. Okay?"
"She was kidnapped...." Ron said, quietly, his eyes glistening. "Why her? Why us? Why always us?" Hermione sat down beside him and put her arm around him, holding him close.
"It's okay. You'll stay here with me. Shh...It's okay, Ron. They'll bring her back." Hermione said, looking up at Harry for assurance.
"Yeah, mate. We'll be back soon. And we'll have Ginny safe and sound with us." Harry said, Draco nodding in agreement.
" Okay, Hermione. I'll stay." Ron said, wiping his eyes a little. " We do need to find Travis and Brittany and Cory though."
" Okay guys. You know what to do. Go to the kitchens and ask Comi for some sandwiches and drinks. It should take until at least morning to get there. I'd rest up and go to the castle at night, if there is one." Hermione advised, looking at Harry and Draco. "We will not tell Dumbledore unless you tell us. I'm going to give you something that we will be able to communicate through. If you run into problems, you can radio us," she added, running to get the walkie-talkies.
" Hermione, how do those work. Their not supposed to inside Hogwarts ground." Harry asked when Hermione came back downstairs.
" I put a spell on them so they will work with all the magic in the air." Hermione said. "There are three of them. One for you and Draco and one for me," she explained, handing them to the two boys. "Go to the kitchens, Harry and get the food. Draco, you need to get yours and Harry's brooms. You might want a softening charm on the seat. It'll be a long ride."
" Okay," Draco said, turning towards the door. "Potter, do you have a spell on your broom?"
"Yes, I might as well come with you, then." Harry said, following Draco out the door.
"Okay, guys. Good luck. Radio us later. Come on Ronald. Let's go find Travis and them." Hermione said, grabbing Ron's hand and slowly walking with him to the door.
"Exactly who are you?" Ginny asked, sitting on the back on a broom. He had taken the gag off of her while they had been flying. She had watched the sun rise that morning, still riding on the broom.
" Beg my manner, my dear. My name is Gabriel. Pleasure to meet you, Virginia." Gabriel said, still looking straight. He looked over the horizon and saw his castle. "There it is, my lady. You shall be staying here for a while. No worries though. I have servants to take care of you," he explained, slowing landing in the courtyard of the massive castle. He got off the broom and turned to help Ginny off. She stepped off and looked around.
"It's beautiful," she whispered, forgetting where she was for a moment. "You live here?"
"Yes, my dear. This is my house. Lived here for many a year. Let's go see your room and get you settled after that long ride," he said, escorting her inside the castle.
