Chapter 19- Man Hunt

"Come on, where are they?" Hermione was sitting on the bed she had and holding her knees to her chest. She wasn't sure how long she had been there but she was getting tired of staying awake. She could tell this guy was dangerous, she also figured he was a Death Eater. Great, just what she needed.

Hermione stood up when she heard footsteps. The door to her cell was pushed open and the man in the hood stood there. She could see from his nose down. She knew who it was, but it seemed like the name of the person was just stuck on the tip of her tongue. He was carrying a bag with him this time.

"Here mudblood put this on. Your boyfriend should be here soon."

Hermione walked closed to him, "How do you know that Draco is coming?"

"A Malfoy never loses something that's his." The man said as he turned around and slammed her door behind him. So all hope wasn't gone yet. Draco was coming and hopefully with Harry. It was a trap though. She knew that now and she had known that when she sent them the letter, but she couldn't just sit there. She knew that Draco and Harry would come for her and could surely taken down anyone who stood in their way.

"Are you ready Potter?" Draco Malfoy was standing impatiently waiting on Harry to come out of the bathroom so they could go and find Hermione. His owl Hedwig found out exactly where to go and they had waited until the next morning to set off.

"Yeah I'm ready." Harry said as he came out of the bathroom.

"Do you have the cloak of yours?" Harry nodded, "And your sure that owl of yours knows where to go?"

"Positive. Calm down Malfoy, we're going to get her back." Harry slapped Draco's shoulder and headed out the door into the halls of Hogwarts. Even though Hermione had been gone for a few days now no one other themselves, Ron, and McGonagall knew that Hermione was missing. They planned to keep it that way because Hermione was going to be home later that night.

They had made it to the doors of Hogwarts where they were met with a very unexpected visitor, "Malfoy, Harry. I've come to help you find Hermione."

Draco shook his head, "There's no way in hell I'm going to let you go Weasley."

"Malfoy we could use some help, we don't know what's waiting on us there."

"No, he doesn't deserve to go with us after all he has done to Hermione."

"I want her back just as much as you do Malfoy. She was one of my best friends after all." Ron and was fumbling with his fingers and looking to the ground, "I've done some bad things in the past and I've realized they were selfish. I want to help get her back because I care about her and nothing more."

Draco breathed in heavily and then Harry spoke before he could, "do you have your broom Ron?"

"It's outside." Ron motioned towards the door.

"Then let's go." Harry led the way out the door and Draco followed close behind. He sneered at Ron as he past and Ron followed him out the door. This was certainly going to be an interesting trip. When they got out of the castle Hedwig was sitting on the stairs waiting for Harry. Harry patted her on the back.

"Ready to lead the way there Hedwig?"

Hedwig took of flying and the three guys took off after her.

DoDa..

"What do you want with Draco?" Hermione yelled at the man outside her door.

"I want his money and his power. You see Granger, the Malfoy's have influence and if he ever wants to see you again he will have to agree to my terms." The man kicked the door open and threw a spell at Hermione that pinned her against the wall.

"What are your terms?" Hermione was struggling against the invisible ropes holding her up.

The man walked closer and pulled his fingers down her face, "I want him to come back to us and reek havoc once again. With your precious Draco on our side we could take over the Wizarding world."

"You won't be able to do this, with or without Draco. The ministry of Magic took down the Dark Lord and they can certainly take down your stupid group."

"That's what you think Mudblood. We have hundreds of people all around spying for us even inside your precious Ministry. We also know a lot more than the Dark Lord did. We learned from his careless mistakes. Malfoy is still evil no matter how hard you believe he isn't. He is a Malfoy and that will never change. He came back to us you know, after you left him. He was lost, so he came back and we made him powerful again, but he found out where you were he left us again. Our cause seemed to pail in comparison to you. This time though we have you now."

Hermione spat in his face, "You bastard."

He wiped his hand across his face and pressed his lips to hers. Hermione struggled against him but it was no use, "I always wondered how a mudblood tasted."

The mystery man walked away from Hermione and slammed the door to her cell. She then felt her body fall limp against the grounded when his spell was broken.

Harry, Ron, and Draco landed the brooms outside a house. Hedwig flew off back to Hogwarts and then the guys looked around. It was dark, but it seemed as though there was no type of protection around the house. They walked toward the house with the wands pointed out waiting for anything to jump out at them. Draco was the first to reach the door.

He looked towards Harry, "There is nothing stopping us from getting in here. It's a trap Potter."

"Hermione said it would be." Harry looked at him.

"Be ready for anything." Ron said.

Harry and Draco nodded at Ron and he pushed open the door. There was a lone figure in the corner of the room that seemed to be guarding a door. Draco advanced towards him in split second.

"It's about time you got here Malfoy. I was beginning to think you had forgotten about your mudblood." Draco shot a spell towards him and it was blocked effortless. "You have to come back to us Malfoy. That's the only way to get her back. You two would make brilliant additions to our team."

Harry shot a spell from behind Draco and the person was knocked onto the ground. Draco stepped on him and went through the door. Hermione was on the ground with her knees to her chest.

Draco ran up to her and picked her up, "are you all right?"

"Oh Draco! Yes, yes I'm find let's get out of here."

Draco carried Hermione out of the room and back to where Harry and Ron were. Ron had the man in a full-body bind while Harry was behind him about to take off his mask.

A/N: Ha Cliffie. Nice one. Sorry it has taken me so long again. Band camp has been pretty harsh these days and I have a job now. But this story will get finished. I'm sorry that it's short but I really needed to get this out for you guys. I hope you like it.

Ps. Hedwig really was Hedwig and Evan was the man's bird.

Missez Malfoy.
