Hello once again you fabulous people who are smart enough to read this story. I just wanted to add a quick note before I posted this chapter. I know the updates have been few and far between but they will be more frequent now my Alevel arts and graphics exams are over and of course Easter is coming up and all the extra sugar from the chocolate will need a creative outlet. And how fabulous is it that they now sell the Gilmore Girls box sets seasons 1 and 2 on DVD in England. I brought series 1 last week and season two today. I love being able to watch this when I want . I'm watching episode 2.08 right(the ins and outs of inns) now and run away little boy is next what's better than watching Chad Micheal Murry before bed it's quarter past twelve in the morning. Enjoy you patient people.

Chapter 19
Rory's POV
Oh. My. Good. God. Jesus. Mary. Joseph and Merlin! In the last 5 minutes I've been snuck up on by my boyfriends dad, captured, tied up and flooed to this strange big house. Tristan seems to recognise it though so maybe it's the DuGrey house. Its big. I mean I've only seen two rooms but they're big. The ceilings are about twenty feet high and the foyer was expansive with marble floors and a huge staircase and the library I'm in now- it's bigger than the one at Hogwarts- honestly. I would love to be untied so I could browse the shelves. I bet there are some undiscovered masterpieces in here. I wonder what Mr DuGrey plans to do with us? Lock us in the basement? Torture us? Oh. My. God!
Tristan's POV
I can't believe it! I don't want to believe it. I'm tied to a chair in my library. My wands been taken away from me. My father has kid-napped me from school. And not just me he's taken Rory too. And what if no one notices we've gone until morning? I mean Dumbledore's bound to send out a search party but this place is un-plottable. No-one will find us. Dad will have already closed off our floo network. We are so screwed! We could be here forever- and even if we're not Lorelai will kill me for getting Rory into danger like this. I hate myself for getting her into this mess. My father really has lost whatever part of his mind he still had left. I'm scared!
Lane's POV
It's five past eleven. Curfew was over an hour ago. She's never this late back. Even when she and Tristan 'lost track of time' she was only 15 minutes late, she's a stickler for rules. I hope she's ok. Of course she is, everyone can be late once. Ok I guess I ought to just sit and wait until she gets back
5 hours later…
"But I need that CD…..please you don't understand…. Why are you walking away from me? I wasn't done."
"Lane! Lane! Wake up!"
"Jess? What time is it?" I can't believe I fell asleep I am so stupid. Ouch and my neck hurts. Sleeping at a right angle is not a good idea.
"It's six in the morning. What are you doing up?"
"I didn't go to bed. I was waiting for Rory to get back and I guess I fell asleep. Oh god! She didn't come back. She's not here? Rory's not here."
"She probably just walked straight past you or she might have stayed at her mom's room or maybe she spent the night with Tristan"
Yeah right! "I have been here, next to the staircase all night she wouldn't have gone past me without waking me up. Secondly she couldn't have stayed at Lorelai's last night because she was on a big date with Luke and finally 'she spent the night with Tristan'. What planet are you from. You know Rory and that's not her."
"But I also know Tristan and that is defiantly him. Besides we've only known Rory for two months she might have very well spent the night with Tristan."
"Ok if you say so, but if she doesn't make it to breakfast then we are going to see Lorelai."
Hermione's POV
"But Hermione, where will they be? I don't know where the
Ravenclaw common room is"
"Oh gee Ronald, I wonder why I'm
not more surprised that you don't know something. It might be the
five years that I have helped you with you're homework. Or it could
just be because of the numerous times you've admitted to me that
you don't know something. Its this way."
"Look I know you're worried about Rory and Tristan and are totally freaked about the tall Bulgarian guy sitting in the headmaster's office but could you at least be less blunt with me? You know I don't like to be insulted before I've had breakfast."
"The way I am acting and talking has nothing to do with the fact that Victor is talking with Dumbledore right now. Or the fact that he knows something about what's going on. Or the fact he hasn't made contact with me for months and now he is just showing up out of the blue without so much as an owl to alert me. I'm worried about Rory and Tristan. That is it! She's the one person besides me that can really get Paris's head to implode. And Tristan is one of the few males with a brain in this castle meaning I can actually have a real conversation with someone who has a y chromosome that does not involve quidditch because we all know I cant do that with you."
"Ok you protest that much and then change the topic and insult me. I really don't think its about victor now."
"Shut up you sarcasm is not wanted right now. Oh look, there's Lane and jess. HEY! LANE, JESS! OVER HERE"
"Oh hey what's up? Are you on your way to breakfast? Lane leave Ron alone it's very early and we're about to eat."
"You both have to come right now. Its important. It's about Rory and Tristan. I'm surprised you're not more worried that Rory wasn't in her dorm this morning Lane."
"I was but Mr 'nothing could ever possibly be wrong' here thought she'd spent the night with Tristan"
"Hah! Yeah right. Jess do you even know Rory?"
"Lane do not give me that I told you so look."
"Look stop it. We need to get to Dumbledore's office right now!"
Lorelai's POV
"So you're telling me my daughter has been kidnapped. You have no idea where she is and no idea how to get her back here! Dumbledore what kind of institution are you running here Dumbledore? I suddenly don't trust you quite so much!"
"Look we do know where she is and we are working on a rescue plan right now we just have to wait until the kids are here before we explain because it's a long story and we only have the time to explain this once if we want Rory back soon."
I cant believe that he runs the school that lost my daughter and he can still make me feel like a little child who's been tucked up in bed with a cup of hot chocolate and is sure there are no monsters under my bed. I should not feel safe at a time like this.
"Look Dumbledore the rest of the necessary kids are here. Can we get started now?"
Victors POV
"So Dumbledore and I agreed it would be useful for him to have spies of varying ages and nationalities that could convince the Dark Lord of their loyalty. Growing up and being educated at a school like Durmstrang has given me the ability to practice dark magic from an early age and also become quite an accomplished Occlumens, so that wasn't a problem for me. Sure it was a dangerous job but I figured I'd faced the worst thing possible after being horded by a bunch of adolescent girls begging for my signature. Anyway this has put me in a position to be involved in all the happenings with the dark lord. And you know that I was secretly a huge help with the war without revealing my true loyalty to the death eaters. So I still socialise with them on a regular basis to keep up with their plans. And I know that DuGrey was furious when he found out his son was openly dating a muggle-born witch without any plans for sabotage and would not be taking the mark this summer. He plans to keep his son and Rory with him long enough for them to take the dark mark and if necessary use the imperious curse to ensure they carry out his plan. He's only confided this plan in two other individuals though and although it took a rather long discussion a little gentle bribery they have agreed to help us out…"
Normal POV
There was suddenly a harsh knock on the door of Dumbledore's office.
"I think that's our new ally's now." Dumbledore said. "Come In!"
The door opened and revealed the least likely couple Harry, Jess, Lane, Hermione and Ron could ever have expected……
……Draco Malfoy and Paris Geller stood in the doorframe looking like the cats who got the cream.
This is it folks I hope you like it. Please, please review because the number of people who have this story on their favourites and alerts list don't match the number of reviews I get. I love your compliments and comments for improvement. (thanks to whoever suggested including Victor Krum) so please it takes you a very short time to type a few words of encouragement or advisement. Thanks people….Raichyx
