flying-piggy-123- ^_^ Thanks! I agree. He won't be down there for long, but while he is. *evil grin* I doubt Frodo and Gandalf will come in, but Gandalf might. Maybe a tour of Middle Earth, introduce Malfoy to Dwarves and Hobbits and maybe even *eeeevillll grin* a couple more orcs? Perhaps a Balrog (neverminding that Gandalf smote the last one during the War of the Ring!) Thanks!!
Whew! That took a whole page!! Anyway, thanks again to everyone!! Now, on to the actual story. WARNING: Possible OOC and AU for both stories!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco's POV
I woke in the middle of the night. No, not night. Just dark. Dungeons.... I remembered quite suddenly what happened.
How RUDELY I was treated. How dare they! The Malfoy name commands a lot of power. These freaks must be muggles. Granger knows nothing, she actually believes that I could transport us inside her book. It wasn't even a Magic book! I must have done something wrong though, It was supposed to take her directly to the dungeons in Malfoy Manor....
That guard was sneering at me! The idiot will get what's coming to him... Where did I put my wand?
While I frantically searched my robes for my wand the guards opened the door. One of them shoved a tray into the cell and closed and locked the door.
I looked at the tray, sitting there on the floor. Upon observing that there was indeed a floor, I began noting similarities and differences between the dungeons here and those in the Manor. For one, the floors were clay here. Hard packed ground, as compared to the stone in the Manor. A pile of hay in one corner, covered by a sheet and blanket. Chamber pot in another corner. No proper toilets, apparently. There was NOTHING in the Manor dungeons. No chamber pot, no hay. Nothing. Food, especially. No food.
"Eat." One of the guards commanded. He didn't appear used to speaking. Or perhaps it was just speaking English, I recalled the language that those men had been speaking when they captured us.
*Flashback to: Previous day, Shortly after Hermione passes out*
"Finally. I thought I'd have to watch her shaking in fear forever." I said. This earned a glare from the three men.
"Her fear is completely rational. That was seven full-grown orcs, I'm surprised you have not passed out as well, child!" The dirty looking man said. His hair! Had he no self-respect?
"I am not a child, I'll have you know. I'm the son of Lucius Malfoy! If you touch me I'll have him sue your arse so bad you'll pick up a penny on the street and be rich." I shot at the man. The other three looked at one another. Without another word they moved toward me.
"I'm sorry, but we have to do this." One of them, a dark haired one, said. He motioned to the others to grab my arms. They did so, and despite my struggles kept a firm grip. The third opened a vial of some liquid. He moved toward me and grabbed my face.
"HELP! RAPE!" I screamed. The men winced like I had set off a firecracker by their ears, but kept hold.
The man poured some liquid down my throat and The last I recall is four apologetic looking faces.
I woke up in a room. I didn't pay attention to the details. I got up and left the room, trying to find my way out. I was found by four men. Coincidentally, my 'friends' from the day before!
"You are awake. Come with us, the lady you appeared with is still unconscious. We were just about to go see her." The one man said. He was clean now, so I supposed his comrades must have dumped him in a lake or whatever.
"Granger? Figures. She's a scardy cat, in all honesty. Never does anything unless Pothead and Weasel are there to back her up!"
I got a mildly dirty look for saying that, but followed the four to the room.
I didn't pay much attention until someone said that Granger was waking up. I sauntered to her bedside. I threw my voice to the other side of the room.
"Wake up Mudblood!"
She seemed to pause, trying to figure out where the voice was coming from. She lifted a hand to bat away whoever was making the noise. Ha. Futile attempt, Granger!
"I'm over here Granger! Over here now!" I threw my voice in different directions, thoroughly enjoying her confusion.
"Sir, I do not think you should toy with an injured lady's mind." Mr Dirty/Clean snapped.
"Shut up. I do this all the time." I retorted.
"Wake her up or torture her?" Mr Barbie.
"That second one." I replied with a smirk.
Granger brought her hand up to try and hit me, I caught her wrist.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You should rest, Granger." I admonished.
"How can I?" I dropped her hand and went over to a corner of the room. I pretty much ignored the conversation. Until Mr Barbie said something about not knowing who we were. I was about burst out, I told him yesterday!
"Prince Legolas, King Aragorn-" Holy Crap! This guy was a KING? ....I don't believe it. "-Lord Elladen and Lord Elrohir, it is an honor to be in your presence." Suuuurre. Suck up. "I am Hermione Granger, Daughter of Stephen Granger, and this is Draco, son of Lucius Malfoy." What's with the whole son of daughter of thing? "I do not know how we ended up in your forest, but I believe Malfoy does."
Humph. Like I'd tell them. I do NOT want to be arrested for using Dark Magic in a school!
"Draco, Son of Lucius Malfoy? The Lady said you hailed from Hogwarts, and yet none of us present have ever heard of such a place. Pray tell where is it?" What was with this old-fashioned language?
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, of course. The finest school in England for magic." I said. I know I sounded superior, but he shouldn't mess with a Malfoy in the first place. The men glanced at each other.
"Wizardry?"
"Of course! My family is only the oldest line of Wizards, and only of the purest blood. Why wouldn't I be a Wizard?" Honestly, they act like they have never in their lives heard of a Malfoy.
"Malfoy! Shut up a moment, will you? Stop bragging for a split second and realize out situation!" Granger interrupted me. I glared at her.
"You can ignore her, gentlemen. She is only a filthy Mudblood."
"Why do you speak ill of the Lady? What has she done to wrong you?" I very nearly rolled my eyes.
"The Mudblood dares to come to the finest magic school in England, and you ask me what she has done to me?" I shoved Granger back down on the bed to accentuate my point.
"I'm not sure about where you come from, but here we do not speak ill on women, not do we harm them. We also do not lie. A child such as yourself could never be a wizard!" Mr Barbie stood up. His eyes flashed dangerously, and I was briefly reminded of my father. He called for some guards.
"Guards, kindly take this...Gentleman to the dungeons." Mr Barbie gave the order almost casually, but with enough venom I knew I was in trouble.
"I BEG your PARDON! You do NOT send Malfoy's to PRISON like some common MUGGLE! How DARE you!" I struggled against the unusually strong guards, kicking and screaming. I knew I was acting immature, but I couldn't help it. The nerve of that blonde MUGGLE sending me to prison! Making ME suffer such indignity!
"LET ME GO!"
One of the guards sent me a look.
"Sir, I'm terribly sorry about this." He brought his sword up and the last I saw was the flat of a blade ready to hit me.
*End Flashback*
I suppose I fainted from fear, because there was no wound, nor did I have a headache. I stared warily at the tray which presently sat in front of me. The square wafer in front of me did not look filling. I gingerly reached toward it and picked it up.
I took a very small bite, and when I did not drop dead I ate the rest. I felt strangely full and satisfied after that one biscuit. I took a long drink from the water goblet that sat on the tray. I looked at the guard who now was ignoring me pretty much. I returned to the task of trying to find my wand.
It then hit me. I had set it down on the bookshelf! I had set it down and now I didn't have it! I was FURIOUS with myself. I decided it would be a good idea to scream....
***
Hermione's POV
I woke up after a short nap only to be reminded of my predicament. Someone had cleaned the goblet mess and left my wand on the bedside table. There was a note written and an elegant hand with green ink.
'Lady Hermione'
Please wait in your room until a maid comes for you. You will be given a proper room and suitable garments will be provided to your liking.
Prince Legolas'
At the bottom there was a dark green wax stamp. His royal seal, I assumed. A simple vine, intricately woven to form a veined leaf, and in the middle was a script 'L'.
I sunk back in my bed, closing my eyes, determined to get some more rest. A knock on the door interrupted my futile attempt. I was glad for the distraction.
"Come in!" I called. A maid, I assumed, slipped into the room.
"Lady Hermione Granger?" I nodded. "I'm supposed to take you to your room?" She said almost nervously. I nodded, grabbing my wand and tucking it into my bag. She looked almost relieved when it was out of sight.
She led me through twisting, labyrinthine halls to a wing where there were very few people wandering the halls, and all of them seemed busy, cleaning, delivering papers, laundry, and messages.
We went up a set of spiraling stairs to what seemed to be a tower. We must have climbed five stories before we reached the top. A small circular hall had seven door leading off of it. The maid showed me to one directly across from the stairs.
She opened the door into a spacious white room. Floor to ceiling windows graced the walls, the glass remarkably clear and distortion-free for the age, I believed. I wandered to the center window and gazed out, shocked to discover we were only about two stories above the ground. It took a moment to remember that the Palace of Mirkwood was underground. I backed away from the window.
"Thank you, ma'am." I nodded to the woman. She smiled.
"If you need anything at all, pull the cord by the door. A maid will come as soon as possible." She curtsied far more elegantly than I ever could and left.
I went over to the bed and set my bag on it, then I began to wander about the room. The walls were white, and the huge windows had gauzy white curtains. The incredible urge came over me to open all the windows.
After working on the catch for a few minutes I managed to get the biggest window opened. A light breeze flooded the room, causing the curtains to all billow like clouds. My previous desire to go to sleep now completely banished, I gave the tasseled rope by the door a hesitant tug. Within minutes a young maid appeared in my doorway.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Yes, please. Could I have something to eat?" I inquired.
"Of course. I'll bring you some food to hold you until dinner. Another maid will be coming up shortly to get measurements for some dresses, and you are invited to attend dinner in the Great Hall."
I smiled inwardly at 'the Great Hall'.
"Thank you." The maid curtsied and left. I turned towards a mirror that stood beside another door. I opened the door and found a bathroom, complete with claw-footed tub, wash basin and chamber pot. This might take a bit of getting used to, I thought, glancing again at the chamber pot.
