Response to the Reviews:
Broadwayburnett: A beta is just someone who looks over the chapter and edits it for mistakes. I've got a couple people I'm talking to so I'll let you know.
draco-luver-4-eva: Thank you, I'm flattered!
Drakulya: I tried looking up the book but I couldn't find it. Inviting Ginny...I'm not sure, I'm at a crossroads with where she stands. Hopefully this whole beta thing works out!
Fiona McKinnon: Thanks for the explaination!
jamesismysweetheart: I hope that doesn't meanthat up until now itwasn't exciting!
JewelBlossom: You better expect it:)
natty123: Okay, well sometimes that's how people are...
Silver serpent: And it'll only get more interesting...
Sneaking out, (Yes I have to sneak out of every room it seems like. But it's this stupid old rule that the guys can't see the girls when they are all ready. I'm not getting married to him, for God's sake! Jeez!)
"Draco?" I called softly through the door. Please let him be there...He opened the door and he froze.
Literally. I was afraid he would faint actually.
"Hermione." he said in shock as he seemed to be processing something. I hurried into the room and locked the door.
"What?" I asked annoyed when he kept staring at me. Honestly, he KNOWS staring isn't polite.
"You look..." he said. This was when I got scared.
"It isn't too much is it? I had Ginny help me but I never should've trusted her!" I said rambling. "I look horrible don't I? I mean this dress isn't even my color..." I stopped when he started to laugh. "What is so funny?" he smiled and put his arms around my waist.
"You look beautiful Hermione." I looked up at him.
"No joke?" he kissed me.
"No joke." he stepped away. "Now what was it you came here for?" I shook my head and remembered.
"How are we going to do this? I mean we know how to get in, but it's who gets out is the bigger question." I said, sitting on the bed.
"What do you mean?" he asked, leaning against the dresser.
"Well if we take Harry, Ginny, that sort of people, they'll know it was us. I mean how many 17 year olds will be at this party? They know we go to Hogwarts and your sudden arrival...they're not Draco. They'll put two and two together.Plus if we do take them Voldemort could slaughter everyone else that was capturedin vengence. But if we don't take them, Harry will die. Voldemort wins." I paused. "But howdo we win?" Draco shook his head.
"I dunno. Save them all?"
"Do we have the power for that?" I asked. Draco sighed.
"That's what I'm counting on." We heard Draco's parents calling us and we took a deep breath.
"Ready to be fed to the lions?" he asked as he held out his arm and I took it.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I said, trying to have some sort of confidence and we descended down the stair case.
Turns out we were able to act sooner than expected. The people at the party got drunk so easily I tell you. It wasn'teven funny. But better to strike now then later. After both of us down a shot in record time, we started to weave our way out of the room.
Going down the pitch black halls, we were not only looking for my friends but any clues what so ever to help us figure out this whole bloody mess. We reached a wooden door. Nothing unusual about a door right?
Not if it has a picture of a skull and bones on the front.
Draco and I looked at each other and we cautiously opened the door. Draco whispered
"Lumos." and a light filled the room. I gasped.
The room was a torture room.
Various books lined the room, most of them I reconized as old dark magic. We weren't even taught to defend outselves against this magic.
"Draco look at these books, these wouldn't even make the restricted section, they're so dark." he took a closer look.
"They look greek. Middle of the Roman empire era probably. This is more herbs and potions, just before wands were used.I've seen a couple of the spells in these books, if we have any sense we'll burn the books." he pointed out.
"So we're taking them?" I asked. He nodded and as he started to work on getting the books to a smaller size, I took a better look around. Chains...knifes, even swords...it was something out of a horror movie. And everything was shiny and lined up, as if they were to be used at any minute. I traced my finger against the blades. It drew blood no problem. I licked my finger and waved it to stop my bleeding. But the most sickening thing was seeing the throphies. As I had learned in DADA, killers tend to keep something of their victims, as proof, a throphy. Something that when they look at it, they remember the kill and they are able to smile. I saw dozens of pictures, chains, rings, and every single person that object belonged to, was dead. It was enough to make you sick, knowing that the person who owned this place took pleasure in torturing people and took no second thought to killing them.
"Who ever has this stuff means bussiness." I mentioned, turning around to find Draco.
Then the room went deadly silent.
"Draco?" I said. No answer. "Draco?" I called again.
That was when the lights went out.
"Well, well, look what I caught." a voice near the door said.
The voice wasn't Draco's.
It was Blaise's.
I heard locks going into place and I finally realized that Blaise had locked us in.
We were trapped.
AGAIN.
DUN DUN DUNN! If you remember correctly Blaise is a spy for the dark side! So catching them snooping around isn't the best thing right now! But this time when they are trapped, it will have consquences...
Will they escape? Is their cover blown? If you review you'll know!
