a/n...well, I started this the next day in 3-4 study hall and kept working on it and working on it in my notebook, but I never had time to type it up, but now it's finally done! I tried to experiment with different points of view, sorry for the inconsistency but I just wanted to try it! (There's also a crossover in here with Pirates of the Carribean.)
Disclaimer…I'm running out of witty comments to put here, so I'll just say this…I don't own it!
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The brunette woke up, eyes fluttering open, but she wasn't in her own room. This place seemed familiar to her though.
Wait a minute, a big black dog, Sirus Black, Lupin was a werewolf, this was the bedroom at the shrieking shack!
She tried to sit up but was unsuccessful when she realized her arms and legs were tied to the bed posts. Had she been raped? No, her body would have ached too much if that would have happened. But then, who brought her here and why?
She tried to remember the last thing she did, all she remembered was walking to answer the door in her office, and that was it, after that it was a total blank.
"Is anyone there?" She called, struggling against her bindings. No answer. She was trapped.
Not knowing what else to do, and knowing no one could hear her scream, she lay her head back on the pillow and waited for something to happen.
At the sound of the door opening, her head popped up and looked ahead of her. Peter Pettigrew stood in front of her bed, shivering.
"Peter!" She squeaked, knowing that wherever that rat was, Voldemort wasn't far behind.
"S-s-shes awake master." He called out through the crack in the door.
"Bring her to me, Peter." A voice called. Hermione's body tensed up as Peter came over and with a tap of his wand, removed the ropes.
"Don't even try to escape," he hissed, "the only way out is past him, and you'll never make it past him."
Hermione nodded, standing up as he tied the ropes around her wrists behind her back, his hands moving over her body. She kept the stray tears in her eyes, but she felt as if she could burst out crying soon.
"Go." He said warily, shoving her toward the door. She walked slowly, trying to keep her mind calm and steady.
There was one lone chair, facing a roaring fireplace on a bearskin rug. She knew who was in that chair and she didn't care to face him.
"My dear Hermione, Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, yet. You're too inssssstrumental in luring your husssssband here."
"No." Hermione choked.
"Yessss. Now if you promisssse to be a good girl and not run away we'll leave your bindingsssss off. But, the windowsssss can not be opened, and I'll set a cursssse on the doorknob that you won't be able to resisssst if you touch it. Ssssso don't try to essscape."
"Alright." She sobbed. At least now she could move around and fight back if Peter came near here again like that.
"Peter, take our lovely guessst back to her room and sssset the wardssss like I told you to." He hissed.
"Yes Master." Peter shoved her in the direction of the bedroom and did as he was told. All the while, casting longing looks at Hermione and feeling the curves of her body more than he should have.
"Despicable," She murmured under her breath.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
*Harry's POV, first person*
There was a pounding at my door, and I got up to answer it. I saw a red faced Draco panting in the doorway.
"Hermione's missing!" He yelled, his eyes on fire.
"What!?" I gasped, grabbing my cloak from the hook near the door.
"You don't know where she's at do you?" He eyed me cautiously.
"If I did, I would tell you. I wouldn't do anything to hurt her mate." I put a reassuring hand on his shoulder and he nodded. "Where could she have gone?"
"No where, she was taken. I found her office door open when I went to look for her. She never does that! She always closes the door when she leaves."
"Alright, calm down Draco. We'll find her." In my heart, I just hoped it was in time.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
*Back to Draco, 3rd person*
The blonde man paced back and forth in the headmaster's office, waiting for any new news about his wife.
Dumbledore walked in, his eyes worn and tired. He cast a glance at Harry then looked dead on at Draco. "She's missing Draco, no one has seen her all day. Even the house elves haven't been able to find her. We don't know where she could be."
"No." He whispered.
"I've called the Ministry and a very special auror, Harry, go down to the entrance hall and wait for him. He should be here any moment."
Harry nodded, walking out the door and down to the entrance hall, while Draco just nodded blankly at Dumbledore, too worried about his wife to do anything else.
A few minutes later Harry returned, followed by a familiar looking red head. His eyes showed fear and sorrow as he looked at Draco, his enemy turned friend.
"Don't worry mate, we'll find her, if I have to die trying." He said supportively.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
The witty, intelligent witch, once deemed as Hogwart's smartest, for once, could not devise a plan to get herself out of a bad situation. Maybe it was the fact that her friends weren't with her for once.
With no food, water, or bathroom, all she could do was sit and hope that someone would rescue her soon.
She started singing to herself after a while, songs of hope that she remembered from her childhood.
"In the quiet, misty morning, when the moon has gone to bed. When the sparrows start their singing, and the sky is clear and red. When the summers ceased its gleaming, when the corn is past its prime, when adventures lost its meaning, I'll be homeward bound in time. If you find it's me your missing, if you're hoping I'll return. To your thoughts I'll soon be listening, in the road I'll stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing, as my journey nears its end, and the path I'll be retracing, when I'm homeward bound again."
"To the sky from the earth in lofting flight, from the hill so green in the blush of spring. So away with the shall I fly, shall I fly, from this place to a land, so far away. Softly now with the dawn I will ride with the wind, o'er the hills through the mist, on the wings of the, spirit fly, spirit fly, to a cloud up above, spirit fly to a place beyond the sky. Spirit fly, spirit fly, to a cloud up above, spirit fly to a place, beyond the sky. Spirit fly, spirit fly to a place on high, softly now, with the dawn, I go with the."
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Harry!" Ginny hurled herself against her fiancé's chest, shaking with heavy sobs.
"No, no sweetheart, don't cry. We'll find her, she'll be fine." He soothed her, stoking her hair.
"Ginny, if you would like to take a personal day off today, feel free to." Dumbledore offered.
"Thank you professor."
"Well I suggest we get to work." Ron said, taking some strange looking contraptions out of a case.
"Yes, of course." Draco replied, watching Ron go to work, silently praying that Hermione was alright.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Peter brought food to Hermione the next day, wonderfully delicious food. Being as ravenous as she was at the moment, she gulped it down, not even caring or stopping to think that it might be poisonous.
"Master requests your presence in the hall." Peter squeaked.
"Alright," she replied, she was no longer scared of death, it was too close to be scared of.
"Ah, my fair girl." He said, never turning around once Hermione entered the room. "I have a little job for you to do. More of a favor."
"Yes?"
"I requesssst your attendance to dinner tonight. Peter will give you new clothing to wear, we can have ourselvessss a little talk."
"And if I refuse?"
"You'll be dining with Peter, naked."
Hermione gave one look at Peter, whose eyes were wide with anticipation. She had to go to dinner with Voldemort, although she wasn't looking forward to it.
The outfit Peter gave her was a long red velvet dress, form fitting, low cut V-neck, but it was amazing. She slipped it on, noticing it fit her quite nicely.
Peter knocked quietly, coming in after a few seconds of silence. "Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
She followed him down the steps, to a large dining room. Candles were lit and there were piles of mouthwatering food decorating the table.
At the end of the table a chair was turned around, facing the wall. Two white, gnarly hands gripped the arms of the chair.
She sat down where Peter directed her to and he scurried off to where Voldemort was sitting, whispering something to the man in the chair.
"Hermione, are you ready to sssee what Harry Potter hassss made of me?"
"Yes." She choked.
Peter turned the chair around using all of his strength. Hermione didn't know whether to scream, run, or vomit.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
"Gentlemen, I'm pleased to tell you we will he having another helper in the search for Hermione. He has senses beyond those of a human, more like those of a…werewolf." Dumbledore smirked.
Draco felt a little more weight rise off his shoulders. He had never really cared for Lupin, be he knew he could really help to find Hermione.
"How can he help us at all? It's two weeks until the full moon? His senses won't work until then, right?" Draco asked.
"They're good all year round." A tired Lupin commented from the doorway.
"Hello Remus." Dumbledore said.
"Albus." He nodded his head toward the headmaster, then looked at Draco.
"Can you really help us, Professor?"
"I'll sure as bloody hell try." He laughed.

A/N…well! 1695 words and almost 4 full pages…6 with the thank you's. and here they are…theres another author's note at the end, so read that!
Thank you's for chapters 5-8
Gina- Thanks…I know that I never really described Haley, I never even thought about doing it. I'll try and remember to do that sometime soon. Maybe the next chapter
Jinxy3-thanks…I'm glad you like my writing so much, I thought maybe the garden would come in handy later in the story. No Lucius is not coming back, keep guessing!
Lovely-Lina1985- I'm glad you found my story again too! Thanks for reading
purrtinapearson- yep, I remember you! Thanks for coming back!
Beautiful Elf- Not Voldemort, but someone very close to him…the eyes will soon be figured out, don't worry, lol
~Katrina ariella m- Yeah, Dumbledore has a sister…creative liscense, lol. Everyone finds those eyes weird…even I do! Lol, thanks.
gazy- ….yeesh, this will be a long thank you…first off, I'll read your story when I have time, but I can't guarantee when, I'll try to soon, but I have to write, second, I never said anything about Draco being potions and Snape going to work for the order, Draco is apprentice, that's it. Third, I try to make my chapters longer, but sometimes it just doesn't work, and if you want longer chapters, you have to wait longer for me to write them, that's just the way I am. I also try to be descriptive, and I have no clue how you want me to add more empathy to my story, so if u would like to answer THAT question, feel free. Fourth, the fictionpress.com thing is something completely different, its not a fan fiction story…its just an original story written by me.
ILUVRONWEASLEY- yep, it's a stalker…but WHO is the stalker? And I fixed it that Draco was so calm, at least I think I did, and if I didn't I meant to, lol. That fight they had was intentional, just to make them seem more realistic, like you said.
Kat Davi- Freakish, funny, and fluffy. Hehe, I love alliteration! And no…its not Fiona, although a lot of people have guessed that. I didn't want them to get in a fight with Haley in the room, too much personal experience with that lately.
Naz1- No, Haley won't get kidnapped, but Hermione did
Princess Moi- thanks!
Princess Faye- uhh, for the advice you asked for, have her get online and look at some people stories, and read them, then see if she has a greater feeling to get a pen name and post it.
Wolfdrifter- what do you think is going on? I'd love to know, no one has gotten it right yet.
Iween-Felton- I always feel so great when people from other countries read my stories and like them a lot, thanks so much for reading!
PinkTribeChick- I guess you'll have to keep reading to find out whose after them won't you? Thanks for the support! And now you know what happened to Hermione!
Alyssa- thanks, I'll try to read your story when I have time…but I've got a long list of stories to read to begin with, on top of writing my own.
InsanitySquirrel321- thanks!
Rupertgrintfan546- thanks! I had him hit her so that they would seem more real, like a real couple, not just characters in a book, people get mad sometimes ya know?
Cori Chaning- no, they won't die, I promise
Samibeana Brittanica- well, yes and no, its not Voldemort, but it is a servant of his, and no, Hermione got taken, not Haley.
Dark Queen of Roses- nope, not Fiona, I love ur pen name tho!
Hallie Walker- thanks so much for reading!
Rstarbreeze- dun dun duuuuun!hehe, lol
Lady Malfoy12- yep, the song is from Anastasia, that's gonna be my wedding song, I love it!

scholcomp25- thanks!
a/n…if I forgot anyone, I'm sorry. The next chapter will be in a few days, maybe 2 weeks, not sure. Hope you like this one tho! Sorry I left on a cliffy! Hehe. I'm working on a songfic, but its not Hermione/Draco its Hermione/George…hehe r/r it!
Love and Fluff,
Natalie
