Chapter 6: A Rush Against Time

Through all this endless adult chatter, Draco noticed something was wrong. He looked over to Cassie's Chair and noticed her gone.

"Hermione, Cassie isn't here!"

Hermione whirled around so fast she made the patient in the next bed over get dizzy and fall out of his bed. "Cassie!" She cried out, looking down and seeing the note. She opened it, eyes growing wide, and she darted out the door, Draco hot on her heels. He didn't see the note, but feared the worst, she was held captive. 'But who would take her, unless… but nobody else knows.' Draco was thinking to himself. Within minutes, the couple had made it to the front entrance. They tore out and down the stairs, heading towards Hogsmeade.

"Hermione!"

"Draco, we need to get to the manor for a few supplies!" She yelled as she apparated just outside the grounds, Draco following suit.

When he appeared in his bedroom, Hermione was already donning her darkest dress and a cloak.

"Dress darkly, we're going to have to hide."

"But, where are we going?"

"DON'T ASK QUESTIONS! DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!" She yelled, grabbing many items.

Draco did as he was told and within fifteen minutes, they met just outside the front door.

"First we're going to Harry's, we'll wait for Ron there. It'll take all four of us to stop this."

"Stop what?"

"Didn't I just tell you not to ask questions! When I'm ready to tell you I will!" Draco backed down and nodded. 'So much for a nice evening with the family.' He muttered to himself.

"Hermione!" Ginny was filled with joy to see Hermione standing there. Hermione was happy to see the very big Ginny.

"GINNY! When are you due?"

"Seven weeks. Harry didn't tell you?"

"No!" Both women glared at the Boy Who Lived.

"Listen ladies, I'd really like to know what the hell is going on here!" Draco was to the point of bursting.

"I thought you knew what happened, Draco?"

"NO!"

"But I thought for sure you and Hermione-"

"IF I KNEW I WOULDN'T BE PISSED!"

"Well, when a man and a woman fall in love, they-"

"Not THAT you Prego!" Draco was getting more and more agitated by the minute.

"Draco, I'm sure Hermione will tell when she's ready." Harry muttered, receiving a cold stare from Draco and the girls plain ignored him for his negligence.

There was a brisk rap on the door, Draco opened the door to see Ron standing there.

"What is it, 'Mione?" Ron asked panting slightly.

"Ron, why is there a whole in your britches?" Ginny asked.

"Don't ask about them!"

"OK! Today, we were at Hogwarts to get Cassie a new paternity test. In the midst of everyone talking, Cassie vanished! This was left in her chair." Hermione held up a note, still folded.

"Let me see it, 'Mione." Harry said, hand outstretched. Hermione placed the paper in his hand. "'Mione, this isn't possible. He's dead." Harry said.

"I KNOW that! But that's what was left in her chair!" Ginny and Ron looked at the paper as well and nearly feinted.

"Let me see it." Draco snatched it and looked at Hermione. "I know exactly what this is!" Draco said, shocking everyone.

"Everyone else here knows too! We all know what it IS what we don't know is what it means."

"You dimwit. Cassie is MY daughter! Got it now?" at the shake of everyone's head, Draco looked back down. "We don't have much time. They always kill when they take hostage." Draco murmured. Everyone except for a pregnant Ginny stood and apparated to 1487 Buckshire Road, Hermione's childhood street.

Draco dropped the letter and everyone ran. Upon the letter was a simple illustration, the dark mark.
