1"He being the one that has so much power over Hermione," Draco sighed as he looked around as the other two just nodded.
"Is it Voldemort?" Harry questioned, almost wishing it was he so that he could have another excuse to want Voldemort dead.
"If I knew don't you think I'd tell you," Draco snapped as he continued walking through the cave where he came upon a dead end.
"Shit it's a dead end," Ron cursed as he stomped his foot.
"Your narrow mind can't compute anything beyond its capacity can it?" Draco said while shaking his head. "We need to apparate."
"What if there's a shield around it and we can't apparate?"
"Then we'll have to find another way through now won't we!" Draco snapped at Harry now irritated with the two's questions and uncertainties.
"We don't know how to apparate," Ron mumbled under his breath trying not to get Draco too worked up.
"What the hell do you mean you don't know how to apparate Weasel!"
"Don't call me weasel you stupid ferret!"
"I can call you.." Ron went to continue on but was interrupted by an angry Harry.
"You guys have forgotten why we're here haven't you," Harry hissed.
"I would never forget why I'm here Potter, I'm going to save the girl and have her all to myself," Draco smirked as Harry went to slam his fist into his face but was caught offguard as the stone wall opened.
"Someone wants us to make it alive," Harry said as they all looked towards the now open pathway.
"Or wants one of us alive," Draco stated looking at Harry. Harry shook his head and continued on as the other two followed him.
Hospital wing
Hermiones eyes shot open, coldness seemed to fill her ginger eyes, they didn't even seem ginger anymore they were so cold. She flung her feet over the side of the bed and got up from the bed and walked towards the exit of the hospital wing where she was stopped by Ginny Weasley.
"Hermione you're awake! The boys they went looking for the one who had sent the dementors after you, wait until they...Hermione are you okay?" Ginny question as Hermiones eyes didn't even look at her, her legs stopped moving but her eyes were set for a target, the front entrance.
"Hermione Dumbledore will get them don't worry about them, you need some rest you've be.." and as Ginny was about to finish her sentence Hermione pushed Ginny to the side knocking her to the ground and she walked to the entrance Hogwarts and exited.
Cave of Death
The three arrived at what seemed to be a giant lake and in the middle was a small island with a giant hill on it. At the top of the hill was a golden chalice, Ron feeling greedy when he saw the chalice only saw gold and riches, he felt the need to be rich so he ran after it.
"I saw it first!" He yelled as he crawled to the top of the hill and ignored Harry and Draco's warnings and cautions.
"Ron it could be a trap!" Harry cried out.
"You stupid weasel!"
As Ron grabbed the cup he sat back against the hell and it glowed, he looked around and the entire room began to shake. Quickly he slid down the hill and ran towards Harry and Draco who were just as confused as of what to do now.
"Quicky this way!" Draco nodded his head towards a hidden entrance to their right. They all followed Draco into the cave as the entire cave collapsed behind them.
"Lumos," the three chanted as all of their wand's tips glew a bright light. Draco nodded his head again, for them to follow him once more and he lead them down the pathway that the cave lead them. They came across a small dimly lit room with velvet red carpet and a velvet red chair with a wooden desk. The chair was facing away from them so they could not see if anyone was sitting in it until it quickly turned and they noticed Hermione Granger with eyes that hold no purity glaring up at them with a smirk as if she had planned this all along.
"Hermione," Draco gasped as he went to run to her side but was flung back as she pulled her wand out and chanted the spell mobiliarbus. As he hit the wall the other two stood their ground and decided that she definitely wasn't herself.
"That's definitely now our Hermione," Ron shook his head.
"No shit," Draco said spitting up blood and holding his arm as he stood back up.
"Hermione it's me Draco, Draco Malfoy, come on please snap out of it!" Draco said taking a step closer to her but she repeated the spell before and he was sent soaring towards the wall like before. This time he hit his head and it bled, he didn't care about the pain anymore all he cared about was Hermione and her being well again. He stood back up weakly, needing help from the wall to get up, and he limped over to the two and just stared at Hermione.
"Your turn," Hermione mumbled as she looked at Ron who's eyes widened.
"No!" Harry yelled as he stood in front of his best friend as Hermione's spell had took leave from her wand. Reducto is what she had yelled at the two causing them to both fling away in opposite directions.
"Very good Ms. Granger," A voice was heard from the entrance that the three had came in through. Draco turned to see a man he noticed very well, it was his father.
"Father!" Draco managed to speak with disbelief. The other two meanwhile were now stirring and looked up at Lucius Malfoy who was taking control of their best friend.
"Draco, my boy, how do you like my newest victim Ms. Granger she was such an easy target and you without even noticing helped keep her busy as he made my plot. All I had to do was slip you two a love potion and you two kept each other preoccupied that is until I needed her to be the bait. The potion should have warn off by now though Draco what's the deal, are you really in love with this mudblood?"
