a/n….*runs and hides in corner* don't flog me…please…I have a few reasons for not updating…I had to write a valentine's day gift exchange story (Titled Forbidden Love, should be posted when you read this)…and then we changed from AOL to DSL so I've been playing with the fast things now…hehe…yeah…other than that, soooooo sorry to leave you like that. There really are no good excuses, I just hope you all are still going to read my story, considering that some people haven't even realized that this is a sequel, I'd hate to lose even MORE readers because I'm human and don't have time for everything. Alright, I've kept you waiting for long enough.

Disclaimer…*sigh* don't own it, never will, but I did add two new characters, John Anelleo and Caroline Bloom are mine.

That night at dinner, Ron and Lupin sat at the professors table with their friends, some of the students in higher grades eyed them warily, wondering why they could be there. Then their eyes strayed to the empty seat of their Assistant Headmistress. When the plates were cleared and the chattering died down, Dumbledore stood up.

"As I'm sure you've all noticed, we have two guests in our school, Misters Weasly and Lupin, I expect you to treat them with respect and help them in any way possible. Thank you."

"That would have been a confusing speech if I didn't have any clue what he was talking about." Laughed Ron, Harry smiled and shook his head in agreement.

"Come on Draco, maybe you should go and lay down, you look like death warmed over." Harry grabbed Draco's arm and stood him up, he looked at the floor as they walked him back to his room. Ron left after a few minutes of walking when he spotted Lupin, but Harry walked him the entire way to his room.

"It's alright mate, nothing is going to happen to her, she's the strongest woman I know, she'll fight it out for you and Haley."

"I hope so Harry, I'd die without her."

"Go get some rest, I'm going to go and find Ginny, I'm sure she could use some comforting too. I'm sure that Fiona is in there, go spend some time with Haley, I'm sure she misses her Daddy."

"Alright, thanks Harry."

"No problem, anything for a friend."

Harry left Draco to his room and walked down the hall to find Ron and Lupin, they were in Hermione's office standing with their arms folded and looking around. "No luck?"

"None, there isn't a trace of her, she could be anywhere." Lupin sighed.

"Could you possibly find out who were the last people to walk into this door?" Harry asked, running his hand over the top of the wooden door frame and past the handle.

"Yes, we could find out who the last ten people were to walk through the door, but they wouldn't be in any order. They would just be in a big heap, we'd have to root through them in order to find out who it was." Lupin reasoned.

"Well, that's better than nothing isn't it? At least we'd have a list of suspects." Ron said, pulling his wand out of the holster on his wrist. "Previosa!"

The three men watched as Ron's wand began to give off brilliant purple and blue sparks, he let go of it and it stayed almost glued to the doorknob. Then the wand turned vertical, and a royal blue mist came out of it, along with the figures of 10 people. Most of them were students, but of course, the 5 men had already been through the door, so the wand spit them out along with 5 other people."

"Alright, let me write this down, Harry, tell me who the people were." Lupin said, grabbing a quill and sheet of parchment.

"Draco, Dumbledore, Ron, me, you, Ginny, Nico Jeshan, Destiny Harriman, John Anelleo, he's a fourth year, and Caroline Bloom, she's a second year I believe."

"That makes 10, and we can cross off 6 of them, unless one of you would like to confess to the kidnapping of Hermione Granger." Lupin smiled.

"Alright, so Nico, Destiny, John, and Caroline. I highly doubt that any of them would be capable of kidnapping though. They all seem like good kids." Harry said.

"You never know Harry, one of them could be the Dark Lord and you'd never know it." Ron said, looking at the list.

"Yeah, I suppose, I mean he hid under our noses in first year with Quirrell." Harry remembered.

_.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._.~*~._

"Look at me Hermione!" He demanded, she had shut her eyes as soon as she caught a glimpse of him.

"No! It…it can't be!" She sobbed, her arms covering her face.

"Yes! NOW LOOK AT ME!" He screamed, grabbing her arm and yanking it away from her face.

"Oh, God, you look just like him!" She said hysterically, looking at him wildly. "Why?!"

"Once I dispose of him, it will come of great help to me to look like him so I can get into Hogwarts and get closer to Potter and Dumbledore."

Hermione looked at him, the most hated wizard in the world, and the most feared. He looked just like Draco, right down to the slicked back hair and hateful grin. He had even trained his voice to sound like Draco's.

"No! You can't kill him! I won't let you!"

"You're in no position to tell me no Mudblood, I could kill you right here and right now and not bat an eye, but you're too instrumental in getting your husband here, as I said before."

"But why Draco?" She asked, wiping her eyes and baring him in the eyes.

"Because people trust him now that Lucius is gone, and I want to kill him for killing one of my most trusted followers."

"So it's for revenge?"

"I want to kill him, Potter, Dumbledore, and the entire school of Hogwarts with the exception of a few of my followers that go there. One of them was very helpful in getting you here. Of course their name is of no matter to you now, you're just my bait, you will be disposed of along with your husband." He spat hatefully, sounding so much like Draco that it terrified her even more.

"And my baby? What about Hailey?"

"She's part of the Malfoy line! We'll take her and raise her to be a death eater. Maybe even a suitable wife for me or one of the death eaters, pity she has dirty blood. But she is the last of the Malfoy's, not including that bloody wench Narcissa, she always did get in the way."

"No, I'd rather have my baby killed than have her become a death eater." Hermione said hysterically.

"Fine, we'll kill her, and throw her body with her bloody useless parents!" He shut his eyes long enough to give Hermione the chance to grab a steak knife off of the table. She knew it was useless because he had his wand, but it was her only hope.

"What are you planning to do with that Granger? Kill me? Or maybe yourself? It'd be stupid to do that now, bleeding with poison in you is a horrible way to die, I'd just Avada Kedavra you and you'd be out of your misery." He laughed the most sinister laugh Hermione had ever heard.

"What are you planning on doing to me?" She asked, the wheels in her mind turning, hoping to figure out how to warn Draco.

"Your husband is undoubtedly looking for you, one of my servants will just, help him along a little bit. Then, once he comes here, I'll take him, torture and kill him, then sneak back into Hogwarts with you, act like everything is bloody brilliant again, and then, kill everyone in the school at the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor Quidditch match. Of course, you won't remember that, you won't remember any of this conversation when you go back into your room, a nice memory charm should do the trick."

"I'd rather die and go to hell then be part of your scheme to kill my husband Voldemort." She said coldly, mustering up as much courage as she had to glare him in the eye.

"Be my guest, but trust me my sweet, you know nothing of hell." He gripped her on the chin with enough force Hermione was sure that he could have broken her jaw. "Peter! Take her back to her room and do what you wish with her." He sneered.

Peter came and grabbed her by the arm, "Come on wench, lets go have some fun." He sniggered, his yellow teeth showing out of broken lips.

Voldemort snickered at the sound of Hermione's screams from the bedroom, wishing that there was perhaps a spell to turn her to the dark side that wasn't so, deforming. The spell always turned out horribly, burning the skin off of the victim so badly that the stench could be smelled for miles away. Too bad, she really was a beautiful snarky witch, and he hadn't had female company in a long time.

A/N! well…I hope you don't hate it, it was kinda a last minute thing to add Voldemort looking like Draco in there, I was going to describe this evil horrible thing, but it just seemed so…fitting. And of course the Hermione/Peter and Hermione/Voldemort thing…so sorry, but I just had to add it in there for the angst factor. Things will get brighter people! I promise! It is kinda short tho, and for that I am sorry, but I had a busy spring break and I really wanted to update…the next one will be longer! Promise!

Love and Fluff,
