Chapter 8

"Dad I don't understand, what are you doing here? Where am I?" Hermione was so scared; this couldn't be her dad it couldn't be. It had to be an impostor, someone under the poly juice potion. There is no chance that her father would betray her and kidnap her.

Her father only laughed "For someone who was meant to be smart, you sure don't catch on very quick do you? Well let me explain"

------------------------------------------------

Draco was getting more worried by the second; they hadn't heard a thing about Hermione.

Harry and Ron were with him; even thought they hated each other, there love for Hermione made them put their arguments aside. They had to find her, in one way or another they all needed her.

To Draco, she was the light to his darkness; she was the hope and love in his otherwise empty heart. He couldn't lose her, if he lost her, he had lost himself. If she was dead Draco would feel it. He knew that much, he knew she was alive, but was she safe?

To Ron she was a best friend, someone he could rely on, some one who will call him on his stupidity. She was the one person who could understand him but still tell him if he was in the wrong. Plus she was the one who got him and Becky together; he had to thank her for that.

To Harry she was the same as Ron, a best friend, someone he could rely on, but she was also a sister to him. Growing up with only Dudley his whole life until Hogwarts, made him wish that he had a sister, and then he wouldn't have felt alone. Hermione was just that, his sister, and he couldn't lose her.

None of them could lose her, and no one could understand why she was taken. It was beyond them to think of someone who would want to, or could harm her. They all seek the answer to that question, but at that exact moment, Hermione was the one to find it.

-------------------------------------------------

"There are a few things you need to know for a start, I am a wizard. Your mother is a muggle, but I am a wizard I just never told her, or you. When I met her, I was completely in love with her; I left all of my wizarding life behind me to live as a muggle with her.

"I would have risked life and limb for her. When you were born, I had hoped that you would be a squib. That way I wouldn't have to explain why I had lied to my wife for so many years. I was so happy when you showed no sign of magic in you. That was until you turned 7. You started to do wand less magic without even knowing it. Your mother just assumed that you were clumsy and were always knocking things over, but I knew different. I had after all been looking for the signs since you were born. They were growing more frequent when you were around 10 nearly 11 and I knew that we would be getting a letter for you.

"Normally the parents would put their child on the waiting list as soon as they were born. I decided not too, after all if you didn't go to Hogwarts you wouldn't learn that you were a witch and would be none the wiser. Apparently my father saw fit to enrol you himself. He always was an interfering twit."

He paused and looked at Hermione, knowing that this was probably so shocking for her, finding out that her father was a wizard and all. If that didn't shock her the rest would.

"When we got your letter I acted just as surprised as your mother did, well I didn't act. I was surprised the letter had come but I knew what it meant when you two didn't. I pretended to go along with the thoughts that I was a muggle and you were just, exceptional. I continued that charade until about a month or so ago. I was confronted by a man, I recognised him from the platform, he had a son that was in your year. He said that as soon as he saw me he could tell that I was a wizard.

"He started to talk to me about his son, and his job. He was quite high in the social standing. Lucius Malfoy is his name."

Hermione gasped at that, Lucius and her dad? How had she not known that her father was a wizard? How had Lucius known? When Hermione remained silent her father continued.

"He asked of my reasons for leaving the wizarding world. I said because of my wife, that I loved her. He asked if I still loved her, or whether I was still with her out of habit. It wasn't until I thought about it that I realised that I didn't love her anymore. So I left. I went to Lucius and he took me in. Said he would get me a job and help me out, after all he was a friend. He took me to The Dark Lord, he made me see, made me realise what filth walked the earth. I am a pure blood, so obviously he liked me, you however, he didn't.

"He told me of how you helped Harry Potter stop him from regaining a body for so long, he was angry and wanted you dead. That is the reason why you are here. To make sure that you are dead, that and to get your little boyfriend here"

"Enough!" came from the shadows. Hermione, who by now had tears streaming down her face turned to where the voice was. Walking out of the shadows was Voldermort.

Hermione shivered as she looked into his glowing red eyes, if you could call them that. They were really just slits where his eyes would be, not unlike a snake.

He advanced on Hermione, "She knows enough. Tell me Hermione." He was now looking directly to her; she felt the shudder pass though her entire being. "How is it, that you could help Harry stop me? But also fall in love with one of my death eater's son?"

Hermione surveyed him "Because he is nothing like his father, he is pure, he is gentle and kind. He would never kill for the fun of it. He is a decent person, while his father serves a peace of scum"

"Crucio" Voldermort placed the curse on her, and she screamed out in pain, tears flowing quickly. "I will not be spoken to like that, especially from a filthy mudblood like you"

Hermione got her breath, speaking with much more confidence that she felt "Well that's funny, aren't you a mudblood? Your father, he was a muggle. Bet that pissed you off huh? Did you tell your death eaters that? That the very cause they were fighting for was so contradictive? You want to rid the world of mudbloods? Then you better start with the foulest one. You better turn that wand at yourself, and pray that it is a quick swift death."

Voldermort stared at her in disbelief "I should kill you know, and I would without a second thought if I didn't need you for bate. He would know that you were dead. He feels the bond between the two of you. He knows you are alive and it is only a matter of time until he realises that he can use that bond to find you. Until then, I would sleep. Wouldn't want him to come to your rescue looking like a tired old hag, would you?"

He walked out, Hermione's father following silently. Why did they want Draco? It can't be because he had betrayed them could it? No they were used to that by now.

She shrunk into the far corner, covered by the darkness and closed her eyes.

A/n: Ok another chapter done, I hope you liked it.

sleepy and dopey: Cool, I don't think I have ever converted someone before.

Etcies: Thanks, I guess that's one of the draw backs when writing as it comes. This isn't a planned out fic, the plot develops on its own somehow

Kellyx0x: .:Grins:. I know It was evil of me but I couldn't help it, I wanted a little suspense.

HPfanatic53072: thanks, I hope you liked this chapter

future movie maker: Lol thanks, there are skeletons in every ones closet. Hermione's dad just happens to have a wand in his.

I love Snape and Malfoy: Lol when I was writing it, I was thinking who should I chose? Some would just be too obvious, so I thought her dad, lol

Monica7725: Yup lol. It Really is her dad. I had this discussion with my best friend who reads this and she was convinced that someone had the potion and it was just Voldermort or Lucius. I assure you that Lucius is in Azkaban, at least for now

DanRadcliffe5666: Yeah I thought that as I was writing it, I am a super fan of charmed so maybe that was kind of inspiration, lol

Samantha Cameron: Lol, I think that Draco would do more than freeze them and run, besides he needs to learn to control his power before he can use it on a room full of very powerful wizards

deadlyabyss12: No problem lol. I didn't leave this one on a cliffy.
