Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. That's all.
A/N: I loved the reviews that I got, especially from CarrieWeasley that said, "Big Cliffhanger!" I just love that. I will also try to revise my work better, as I am always in a rush because I was so excited about getting my story up. Thanks for the helpful advice Cassandra Paige.
Chapter 3: What to do when you don't know what to do.
Meanwhile, shortly after Hermione was kidnapped, poor Ron had to postpone the wedding.
"I'm postponing the wedding until further notice," Ron said sadly. Everyone in the chapel gathered up their things and sadly left the chapel.
"Poor Ron and Hermione," said George Weasley, his brother.
"Our ickle Ronnikins would have been married to his precious Hermione. Aw!" said George's twin, Fred Weasley. Their mother pulled them both by the ears and dragged them out of the door.
"Ron, don't you worry, you'll find her yet. And you'll stop the Malfoys and... you-know-who," she said, then finally left.
Then Ron gathered up Harry, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, Neville Longbottom, Ginny Weasley, Parvati Patil, Luna Lovegood and Lavender Brown to search high and low for Ron's precious Hermione. They looked all over London. They went to Diagon Alley and looked through every shop that they could possibly think of.
During her kidnapping, Hermione screamed kicked, thrashed and struck all three of them. She even managed to give Draco a black eye in her rampage of thrashing around nonstop.
"Can't you do something about her father?" Draco said while conjuring up an ice pack for his very sore eye.
"Don't worry," Voldemort said. "Keep quiet you filthy mudblood!" he shouted angrily.
"Don't you dare call me a mudblood! I'm just as smart as you, if not smarter," Hermione said briefly, then continued on her rampage. Finally, all three of them had enough of her.
Voldemort placed her down on the floor. She took this opportunity to run, but before she could escape, Lucius, Draco, and Voldemort said, "petrificus totalus!" and she fell stiffly on the floor. Then Draco said, "wingardium leviosa," and she levitated in the air. "Finally," he said, "that's better."
When Hermione, Lucius, Draco, and Voldemort got to the Malfoy Manor, they threw poor Hermione (still stiff) into a dungeon that they always held Dobby when he was being bad.
"And stay there," Lucius said to her (A/N: she was still stiff). With that, he slammed the door harshly.
When she finally woke up, Hermione was expecting to see Ron by her side, but he wasn't. Instead, she saw pitch black.
"I'm blind! Help me somebody!" she yelled in a panicky voice. She couldn't see a thing.
"Oh, brother. Father, what are we going to do? She finally woke up!" Draco whined.
"Let her figure out where she is," Lucius said to him.
"I'LL GET YOU FOR RUINING MY WEDDING DAY MALFOY AND MR. MALFOY!" Hermione yelled angrily.
Draco and Lucius made their way down to their basement where their dungeon was held. They opened the door and saw Hermione in her wedding dress, which was now tattered and torn in some places. She also lost her tiara in the process and one of her shoes was also lost.
"What do you want?" Hermione spat nastily.
"Nothing but our little secret, you mudblood," Draco said nastily.
"Don't you dare call me a mudblood, you bloody ferret! You'll be very sorry indeed!" she said with a mixture of anger and sadness at the same time.
"After we're done with you, you'll be the sorry one indeed. You and your little boyfriend," Draco said as his father sneered at her.
"Who would have been my husband today if you hadn't taken me!" Hermione yelled angrily.
"Where can she be?" Harry asked everyone. They all shook their heads in sorrow.
"All I know is that I would do anything to get my fiancée back," Ron said sadly. Suddenly, Ginny burst into tears. "What's wrong Ginny?" he asked his sister.
"Who knows what Voldemort..." Ginny started.
"Don't say his name," Ron said to her.
"Who knows what Voldemort can do by now," Ginny continued. Parvati, Luna, and Lavender had silent tears running down their faces and it was ruining their makeup, but they didn't care about that now. The only thing that was on these girls' minds was their friend, Hermione.
"What does Voldemort want that we don't have?" Neville said as Ron's face turned extremely red.
"DON'T say his name!" Ron said angrily.
"Calm down mate, we didn't mean to say his name out loud..." Harry started but Ron interrupted him.
"IT'S NOT ABOUT HIS NAME! IT'S ABOUT THAT BLOODY GIT STEALING MY WIFE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!" Ron yelled angrily. His yelling made Ginny cry even harder, if possible.
"Don't you mean, fiancée?" Neville piped in.
"That's not the bloody point!" Ron said heatedly. Everyone froze as Ginny cried harder than she could in her life. "The point is that the girl that I love was kidnapped by that... ferret and his father. And now she's gone!" Ron said with his voice cracking. Then finally, he couldn't take anymore. He broke down and cried with his little sister. Harry hugged Ginny and patted Ron's back in sympathy. He really and truly felt sorry for his two friends.
After a while, Dean said, "hey, what are we waiting for? Let's go find Hermione before it's too late!"
"You're absolutely right Dean, we should. Who knows what Voldemort can do," Harry said standing up and pulling Ginny and Ron with him.
"You shouldn't say his name," Ron said softly. Ginny smiled brightly and Harry helped her dry the rest of her tears.
"Let's go look for our best friend, mate," Harry said and the girls dried the rest of their tears and looked very determined.
"Let's all separate," Lavender said.
"What a great idea, Lavie," Seamus said as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Harry, Ginny and Ron will look past Flourish Botts, Lavender and I will look over by Gringotts, Dean and Parvati should look by the Leaky Cauldron and Neville and Luna should look somewhere around Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Now, let's get a move on people!" Seamus said again. They all went their separate ways to find Hermione.
While still in the Malfoy Manor, Hermione tried to figure out a way out of the dungeon she was locked up in. After a desperate search out of there, she gave up eventually.
"I'm supposed to be the smartest witch of my time, but I can't even figure out a way to get out of this hellhole!" Hermione yelled angrily. She sunk on the floor sadly as tears ran down her face. "Maybe I am just a filthy mudblood, I really am lower that everyone else," she sobbed. Don't think that of yourself Hermione, snap out of it. She thought to herself. And to think, I actually trusted him in my seventh year. She reflected. "Oh Ron! Where are you? Please try to find me, please! I don't know what to do," she said softly as she sobbed. "Answer me this, gods above, what to do when you don't know what to do?" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
A/N: that's the end of chapter 3. I hope you liked it. I live to please. Chapter 4 is coming up soon. I was thinking of the name 'reflections' as the chapter's name because it's supposed to be of flashbacks. I have a question, should it really be 'reflections' or 'flashbacks'? I need your help on this. The most popular answer wins!
