Harry, Hermione and Ron run up to the castle and right into Snape.
"Well what have we here? I suppose this is a matter of life and death?"
"Actually Professor it is. Adrian was kidnapped."
"You three follow me."
He turned and walked swiftly to the headmaster's office. When they catch up to him he had already gotten the door opened.
"Well? Go tell Dumbledor. Where was she?"
"The Three Broomsticks."
Snape walks even more quickly back down the corridor to the Entrance Hall. They enter Dumbledore's office.
"What's wrong?"
"Headmaster it's Adrian. She was taken!"
"By who?"
"A Death Eater."
Dumbledor gets quickly to his feet and ushers them out of the room.
"Show me where."
They lead him down the corridor. When they get to the entrance Hall Snape was standing there waiting with the rest of the professors.
"Potter was anyone with Adrian other than the death eater?"
"Draco Malfoy was with her before she came in."
"Severus would you please find young Mr. Malfoy and take him to my office. Minerva would you Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick kindly gather the students in the Great Hall. Will the rest of you kindly search the Village for any sign of Miss Black?"
The professors go their separate ways as they do as Dumbledor asked. Dumbledor looked at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"What about Adrian?"
"The professors will round up the school and bring them back to the castle and then join in the search for miss Black in the village."
"They won't find her there."
"How do you know?"
"I think if she was in the village he could have gotten her to walk there and not had to apparate."
"If he didn't want to draw attention to himself..."
"He wouldn't have apparated. People were bound to notice."
Adrian woke up and looked around her. She was in a strange place. It looked as if no one had live here in years. There was a thick layer of dust on the ground, there were no lights. The only light in the house was coming from the big windows on either side of the door, but even that light was faint and seemed distant.
"It must be getting dark out."
Someone entered the room behind her.
"Well the little princess is awake. Did you sleep well highness?"
"You drugged me." Adrian glared at the woman. She couldn't see her face but she was sure she knew who it was.
"I didn't. That would be the work of Master Wormtail. He made the Potion. A friend of mine gave it to you."
The woman bent down to look in Adrian's face. Adrian tried to slap her but found her arms were bound as were her feet. The woman looked angry.
"You shouldn't have tried that the ropes will tighten if you struggle."
She kicks Adrian then leaves. Someone behind her touches her arm gently. She turns her head to look at him. He leans closer and whispers in her ear.
"Dumbledor is sending someone to get you. I'll try and protect you as best I can until he gets here."
"Lucius?"
They come into the Entrance Hall and see Professor Snape waiting with Draco.
"Follow me."
Snape takes them into the Great Hall.
"Professor?"
"Yes Miss Granger?"
"I was just wondering where you thought Adrian might be."
"She could be anywhere Miss Granger."
"Have her aunt, uncle and grandparents been told yet?"
"Professor Dumbledor and I will inform them as soon as we can."
He turns to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"To inform her family."
He walks out the door closing it behind him.
"Where is she Malfoy!"
"How should I know!"
"You were with her before she disappeared!"
"Harry calm down"
They all turn and look at the headmaster who had just entered the room.
"Mr. Malfoy would you kindly tell us when you last saw Miss Black."
"We were walking down the street and a man in a hood came up and asked if Adrian would like a drink. He took her inside and she didn't come back out."
"What was she wearing?"
"Her Dumstrang robes."
"Do you know why?"
"She likes to stand out in a crowd."
"Mr. Malfoy would you have noticed if someone in blood red robes disappeared?"
"Most likely."
"You may return to your common rooms. Mr. Malfoy, Professor Snape will escort you to the dungeon. Minerva will escort the rest of you to Gryffindor Tower."
The two professors were waiting for them outside the office.
"Professor Snape did you tell them?"
"I told her Uncle. He said he would inform his wife."
"What about her grandparents?"
I don't think we'll drag them into this."
"Amelia?"
"Yes Remus?"
"I have some bad news. Could you ask Maxime for some time off?"
"How long?"
"I'm not sure. It could take a while."
"All right I'll ask her. I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Amelia. Bring Christiana with you."
"All right."
His wife looks at him curiously. Then disappears from the fire.
"Mr. Malfoy?"
"I'm sorry Adrian."
Lucius looks at his arm then back at Adrian.
"I'll be back soon."
He disapparates. Adrian is alone in the house.
"Why do they want me? Why is Lucius going to protect me?"
Amelia and Chrissy stumble slightly as they step out of the fireplace and dust themselves off. Remus is waiting for them.
"What's going on?"
"Sit down please."
He takes his wand out and conjures chairs for them. They sit.
"What is this about?"
"Adrian."
"What about her?"
"She was kidnapped this afternoon in Hogsmead."
Amelia looks at her husband.
"What?"
"Adrian was kidnapped."
"Are they looking for her?"
"Amelia do you really think Dumbledor wouldn't look for a student that had gone missing? He's doing everything in his power to find her."
"What can we do?"
"Anything we can. Dumbledor will tell Maxime and I'm sure she'll help as well. Chrissy you can continue your classes at Hogwarts while we search for Adrian."
Chrissy nods.
Adrian wakes to find two death eaters standing over her.
"What do you want?"
One of the death eaters bends down so she can see his face.
"We want to take you home." he says quietly.
"Moody?" She whispers.
He nods and unties her. Once on her feet she looks at the man that had come with Moody.
"Father?"
He nods and hands her a long black hooded robe.
"Where did you get these?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's get you out of here."
Adrian quickly puts the robe on over her other clothes. Sirius pulls her hood up to cover her face.
"If we see anyone don't say a word. Understand?"
"Yes sir."
"Good Girl."
They turn and leave. They walk down the hall Adrian saw from the room she had been held in. She realized the room had been the sitting room at one point in time. They continue down the hall and out a side door into the sunshine. Once outside Sirius took his daughter's hand and apparated into the warm welcoming Kitchen of #12. Moody walked over to the fireplace.
"I'm going to report to Dumbledor."
With that he threw a handful of Floo powder into the flames and was gone.
