Chapter 18-They'll Come

Hermione was walking around her cell looking for any possible flaw in the walls that could get her out. There was none. She was stuck there until someone found her. She ran to the door when she her footsteps. The man on the other side was wearing a cloak with a head that kept his face a secret.

She held the bars that were at the top of the door and screamed out at her kidnapper, "What do you want with me?"

"You silly girl."

"They'll come for me you know. Harry. Draco. They'll find me and take me home."

He laughed from under his cloak and turned his back towards her, "Good." The man opened her door suddenly and she flew back against the wall and into darkness.

"Potter it was Weasley, it had to be him. I know it was." Draco said as he was walking out the Headmistress's office.

"Stop jumping to conclusions Malfoy. No one has even seen Ron in months." Harry argued.

Draco stopped, "Exactly. He's been planning this Potter. He's found a place to hide her away and he took the time away to plan it so he could take her from us. We have to find him Potter. We find him and then we find her."

Harry hit his forehead with his hand, "Fine. Let's go see Mrs. Weasley she will know where to find Ron."

Draco and Harry headed out to the Burrow. Draco so mad he was shaking. It had to be Weasley, he was the only who would have any reason to take Hermione. He had wanted her back since Hermione left him. He had been behind everything that had gone wrong in their relationship so far.

Harry put his arm out in front of Draco when they got to the kitchen door of the Burrow, "Let me do the talking."

Draco glared at Harry as he knocked on the door. They waited there until they heard footsteps coming towards the door. Mrs. Weasley pulled the door open and smiled when she saw the guys.

"Harry! Draco! How you two doing? Harry, you and Ginny simply must come by here more often."

"Yes Molly I know. Draco and I were wondering if you could tell us where Ron was staying at the present moment? We want to go and see him." Molly Weasley smiled at them.

"Oh yes, come on in and have some tea."

About an hour later Harry and Draco were on their way through the woods that sat behind the Burrow. Harry Potter was never one to refuse tea from Molly Weasley so they were both stuck at the Burrow talking to a lonely Weasley. She talked about how lonely she had been with none of the kids living with her anymore and about how much she missed everyone, expecially Hermione. She then lectured Draco about bringing her over, the two looked at each other when she said that and just nodded their heads there was no need to worry her, at least not yet.

Now Draco was starting to get tired of walking, "Why can't Weasley live somewhere out in the open like a normal person?"

Harry looked at Draco, "Do you call living behind gates in a Mansion that is protected with every kind cloaking charm normal?"

"For me yes."

Harry rolled his eyes and then looked back ahead of him, "Oh good, there it is."

Draco looked up and saw a small little cottage smack dab in front of them. It was kind of run down and dirty but for Ron Weasley it fit right. Draco scrunched his nose up in disgust and ran his finger over the stair rail.

"How could anyone live here?"

Harry shook his head; "Not everyone can live life luxuriously like you Malfoy."

Harry went to the door to knock on it and before his fist hit the door it was gone. He looked back and Draco was holding his wand out in front of him, "It slipped."

Harry shook his head again and then walked into the home. It was nothing out of the ordinary, a couch on the left wall and a small kitchen right next to it. Draco walked in still with his nose crunched up and started hitting things to ground. It was then that Ron Weasley emerged from the back of the house.

He looked around at the two men, "What the fuck is going on here?"

Draco advanced towards him, "Where is she Weasley?"

"What are you talking about Malfoy?"

"Where is Hermione?"

Ron's eyes open wide, "So she finally got the sense to run away. I'll have to congratulate her when I see..WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"

Ron was now on the floor holding his cheek, "She didn't leave me Weasley she was taken from me and I want her back."

Ron scrambled to his feet; "I haven't talked to her in months Malfoy you should know that. You won't let step foot near her."

"I don't believe you Weasley."

"Damn it Malfoy, I don't know where she is, why don't you go ask one of your Death Eater friends?"

'Smack'

"Stop fucking hitting me Malfoy."

Harry pushed Malfoy behind him and helped Ron off the ground, "Hermione's gone missing from Hogsmeade Ron and we want to know where she is."

"And I'm the one you thought would know?"

"Well, with everything that's been going on with you guys, yes."

Ron shook his head; "I haven't seen her Harry I promise."

Harry shook his hand, "Okay; we will see you later then." Harry took Draco's shoulder and they apparated away leaving Ron to fall back on the couch looking very confused.

Doda..

Hermione was so tired. She had refused to sleep since she had been there, she didn't know what could happen if she did. She still hadn't seen her kidnapper's face and she was scared. She didn't know what this guy could do to her.

"Mudblood."

Hermione looked towards the door, "What do you want?"

The man leaned against the doorframe, "So exactly where are your two saviors you talked about?"

"They'll be here." Hermione could see half of his face, it seemed so familiar but she just couldn't place it.

"Yeah I know, I want you to write them a letter."

Hermione stood up, "What?"

He threw a small piece of parchment and a quill at her and slammed the door before she could get any closer, "Just push it through the door when your finished."

Hermione was completely confused.

doda..

Draco and Harry were sitting in the Room of Requirement thinking about who would have taken Hermione. Draco regretted even saying this but Weasley had been right, It could have been a Death Eater. They would surely have a grudge against him or Hermione. It could have been a random attack for all they knew.

With one simple peck at the window a large owl entered the room and landed on Draco's leg. Draco took the letter from its claws and started reading.

"Potter where is your bird?"

"Hedwig?"

"Yes that one, this letter if from Hermione. We have to find someway to trace it to her."

Harry called Hedwig to him and told her to follow the other owl. Harry found it strange that the first owl waited for Hedwig. "Let me see the letter." Draco handed it over.

Dear Draco,

I am doing all right here, wherever here might be. I wish I could tell you who took me, but I don't know that either. I saw his face, it was so familiar Draco, but I just couldn't figure it out. He's feeding me though. If you can believe it he is letting me write to you, somehow I don't think that is a good thing but I had to let you know I was okay. I know that Harry and you are looking for, I trust you Draco. I love you both.

Hermione.

"Malfoy it's a trap." Harry said as she put the letter on the desk.

Draco was looking out the window, "I don't care, we have to find her."

"We don't know what we're going up against Draco."

Draco threw his hands on to the desk, "Damn it Potter, you took down the basilisk, got rid of Dementors, and killed fucking Voldemort, why are you worrying about this guy? He took Hermione, Potter. We have to get her back."

doda...

Only a couple miles away from Hogwarts a man was sitting at a desk of his own. A large owl came to him and landed on his shoulder soon followed by a slightly smaller snow-white owl. The man gave them both treats and the other owl flew owl.

"Only a matter of time now Evan until they come to find her. Then everything will be okay again."
