CHAPTER 4: An Eventful Morning…
As Hermione opened her eyes and sat up before rubbing them, to rid them of sleepy dust… then she pulled the cover off herself and hopped out the right side of her bed as Hermione did each morning without any thought… and smacked into a wall…
'Hang on a sec' she though as she opened my eyes and looked at the wall in front of her… it looked real… she put her hand up to it and felt the wall… it felt real…
'Where am I' Hermione thought as she spun around to see a bare room with only a door leading to who knows where, as well as a shabby closet, table and a lonely chair to decorate the room… 'This is definitely not MY room' her thought screamed 'so then where the hell am I?'
Hermione jumped out of the bed and saw that she was in her pastel pink mini-skirt and white singlet with her pale pink jacket over the top … and her white flats… then suddenly the memory of the green smoke and the flash…
'Malfoy' she thought 'damn that Slytherin bastard…' then Hermione stopped and spun around as the door began to open…
As the door began to open Hermione on instinct went to reach for her wand… but it was missing… 'Oh crap' she thought 'now what am I going to do…'
As she looked around the room for something to defend herself with the only thing she could see that would be useful to her was the vase filled with some dead flowers on the table… it was a pretty vase… but oh well…Hermione picked the vase up, throwing the flowers and water on the floor as she prepared for the person to enter just as the door fully opened…
Hermione spun around and threw the vase with as much force as she could… 'For once in my life please let it hit the target' Hermione thought as she closed my eyes hoping like hell that it would work… and thanks to fate… it did…
As Hermione opened her eyes I saw the vase on the ground smashed all around… then as I looked up I saw a group of people… who obviously has a captive with them… then I saw whom their captive was… "No…" I screamed before running at them… only to be caught by a rope that appeared from one of the captor's wands… now I was stuck plus now there were two of us in danger…
A/N Well that's not the important part… so I'll skip over to the Hogwarts express and tell you what Harry, Ron and Malfoy were doing at this time… devilish grin across face
HOGWARTS EXPRESS"Ron…" yelled Harry as he ran down the carriage… "Where's Ginny?" he yelled as he ran down the middle corridor of the train looking for Ginny… when he looked inside the compartment the obviously belonged to Malfoy and his little trio of stupid followers and adorers… but the room was different… Harry couldn't name it… but there was something familiar about this room… then he realised what it was… it was the scent of the perfume that Hermione wore… Harry paused and took a deep breath in and savoured the moment Harry had been in love with Hermione ever since he first came to Hogwarts… Cho was just a fling… Hermione had been the love of his life for the past six years… Harry knew that they would never be together though as Hermione and he had been going out at the end of last year but it had come to an end but they remained friends. 'Hang on a sec…' Harry thought 'where is Hermione today?' Harry ran out of the compartment and smack banged straight into Snape… "Where is Mr. Malfoy?" Snape quizzed me as I tried to leave the compartment again… "Ahh… I don't know…" I said as I slid past him and began walking away very quickly… "I was looking for Hermione." I finished off as I saw Ron and sprinted to catch-up with him…
As Harry caught up with Ron… he yelled out to get Ron's attention… "Hey mate…" Harry yelled causing Ron to stop and turn around as Harry caught up with him… "Ron, mate…" Harry began as he caught his breath… "Yeah Harry…" replied Ron "what is it?"
As Harry stood up he asked Ron if he had seen Hermione at all today… "Shit…" said Ron "no I haven't…" as they turned around they saw Malfoy walking quickly towards the train… his clothes in a mess… a huge cut on his forehead and… there was just something about him that didn't feel right… the way he was in such a hurry… just as Malfoy boarded the train… it began to move… they were off to Hogwarts… with two students missing…
DRACO'S POVHe didn't feel like being bothered today after what had happened this morning. So Draco took his trunk and made his way to the end of the train and luckily found an empty compartment. Once in here he recounted everything that had happened so far this morning.
He had woken up in a muggles house this morning… and to make matters worse… it was Hermione Grangers house… though the part of that morning that Draco enjoyed the most was when he had come face to face with Granger… and ended up on top of her… him on top of Hermione Granger the girl of his dream…
'But then his dear old daddy had to come and rescue him didn't he' Draco thought as he remember seeing Hermione sacrifice herself so her parents would escape. Then he remembered him father's lecture once Hermione had been locked away.
But it wasn't only a lecture… oh no Lucius Malfoy never just gave Draco a lecture he also he gave him a beating to remember not to let it happen again. But this one was a lighter one that usual since Lucius had been able to capture Potter's little know-it all girlfriend while retrieving his son so he was happy. Draco thankfully was still able to walk after this one.
Then he remembered being taken to the Dark Lords Lair and given Hermione's wand to hold. While he was waiting here he discovered news about Weasley's little sister also being caught this morning and that probably one if not both would not come out alive.
Though Draco wasn't given any time to worry if Hermione was to be the one as that second both Hermione and Ginny were escorted into the room. He remembered hiding Hermione's wand before his father walked up to him and told him to watch the two girls while he and the other death-eaters went and had a little 'chat' with the Dark Lord.
He remembered exactly what the read-head girl had said to him. "You gotta tell my brother Ron something for me… please Malfoy, tell him I loved him and the rest of the family… also tell him that I'm sorry that I ran off from him on the train… I guess I was just being my selfish self… basically just tell him I'm sorry for yelling at him this morning… I guess I just wanted to seem independent so I ran off… as I know I'm not going to get out of this mess" once she had told him this he remembered he breaking down into tears before Hermione began to comfort her as best she could while they were both tied up.
Then he thanked Hermione for her family's hospitality, why Draco wasn't dure at the time but he felt that she needed to hear something nice so he said thanks. Then there wasn't even time for an awkward silence to grow as they were summoned into the main room.
Once we entered the room Lucius rechecked the ropes binding then quickly before he marched them straight up so that they were in front of the Dark Lord. Draco was glad that Lucius had forgotten about him and left him here but he could see that Hermione was scared and most likely shocked by what was in front of her.
Then the Dark Lord began to speak to them. Asking if they were Potter's followers, with the Weasly girl replying that they were Potter's friends not his followers and that they wouldn't do anything for the Dark Lord. The look on the Dark Lords face at that moment was priceless he was being told what to do by a little girl. Draco thought it was hilarious, but kept that to himself.
Then the Dark Lord went on to offer them the chance to work on his side or death. Weasly piped up quickly refusing to ever work for the scumbag and then spat in his face before turning to Hermione and saying good-bye, within a second she went lifeless, as she was 'Adava Kedavra' by the Dark Lord. Once this had happened Hermione suddenly came alive and what came out of her mouth next was surprising to be coming from a bookwork like her.
Then I remember her struggling to get free from the Death Eater that was restraining her. Thought after she kneed him where it hurt. She began to run before suddenly tripping over the uneven floor just missing being hit by a knife thrown by the Death Eater she had escaped from. The knife though proved useful for Hermione as it sliced through the rope that was restraining her before falling to the ground beside her. At once Hermione grabbed the knife and jumped up after a quick scan of the room her eyes landed on him and she began to run towards him. As she did so Draco saw something flicker in her eyes. Suddenly she was behind him using him as a shield with her newly acquired knife up against his throat.
From here she tried to use Draco's life as a bargaining tool to get herself out of there. But it didn't work. And a Death Eater was able to sneak around behind her and hex her. Once Hermione had been hexed she fell backwards causing the knife to cut Draco on the forehead before Draco was able to get out of its path.
On remembering this Draco put his had up on his forehead and felt the scar that had formed over the cut. When he did so he winced slightly from the pain that he still felt from it.
Then he remembered being escorted out of the room and apperated by another Death
Eater to the station while his father took care of Hermione.
Then Draco looked out his window before he heard the lunch lady walking down the corridor. Draco didn't feel very hungry after this morning's event so he let her pass by.
Once she had though someone suddenly appeared in his empty compartment. Once the smoke cleared he saw it was his father with Hermione. Draco's heart soared at the sight of Hermione being alive. Then he saw her trunk and a cage with probably her cat in it. His father turned to Hermione and pointed at the seat on the opposite side of the compartment to Draco.
Hermione looked ready to argue but then Lucius produced his wand and pointed it at her chest. At this Hermione fell silent and sat down and admitted defeat. Before Lucius turned to Draco and placed a badge and her wand in his hands. Then before he turned to leave he turned at snarled at Draco "you'd better not disappoint me now Draco" before he apperated to who-knows-where.
Once Lucius had left Draco turned to Hermione and gave her back her wand and was about to give her the head girl badge as well but something stopped him. He couldn't explain it but there was something different about this badge. Then he realised why his father gave it to him it was cursed. So he pulled out his want and quietly chanted the reverse spell to the curse before he felt it was safe for Hermione to have the badge.
Though when he offered it to her she seemed reluctant to take it at first until he had assured her that he had removed the spell and not put one on the badge. Once this had happened Hermione stood up to leave the carriage when Snape appeared at the door of the compartment.
"Ahh" he said "there are the two heads now you'd better get to the head's compartment before I decide to give detentions to both of you before we even reach Hogwarts."
