Chapter 22: Snatch and Apparate

After searching the castle up and down, the order members made their way back into Dumbledore's office. Everyone out of breath.

"He's not in the Gryffindor Common Room." Ginny said.

"Nor the Quidditch Pitch." Said Remus.

"Or anywhere else on the grounds." Tonks stated.

"Or Castle." Severus and Van said in unison.

Albus sat in his chair and took his half-moon spectacles off, closing his eyes and rubbing his temples. Why were things going so far down hill?

"Albus?" Minerva asked worried, "What are we to do?"

Albus just looked up, the twinkle in his eyes gone. He shook his head, "I don't know." He sighed. Everyone stood there gapping at the Headmaster. He knew everything. He wasn't supposed to not know.

Kaytrina was the only one who took in his presents with sorrow. She knew what he was going through. She was going through the same thing. They had their hopes up high and now, they were so low they were beneath the earth.

"Let's just make sure, Ron doesn't get near Riddick." Kaytrina announced and everyone nodded their agreement.

-

Draco was in the bathroom taking a shower and Hermione sat on the couch changing little Riddick's diaper. She smiled down at him as she velcroed the last little strap.

"Aw...you baby aren't you... you mummy's little baby boy, huh?" She said and blew on his little tummy, causing him to smile.

"How cute." Said a voice that caused Hermione to jump. She brought Riddick to her chest as she looked up and saw him. His red hair and freckled face.

"Ron?" She asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ron sighed and looked to the floor, "I came to say..." He looked up at her, "I'm sorry, Hermione." He told her walking over and sitting on the red chair. "I'm sorry for criticizing you and calling you a mudblood. I'm just so sorry." He said putting his head in his hands.

Hermione felt like she was going to cry. She had been waiting almost a year to hear him say those words. She stood up, Riddick on her hip, and made her way to Ron. She sat down and threw an arm around him hugging him while holding Riddick in the other.

When they parted they smiled at each other and then Ron asked, "Where's Mal...Draco?" He looked around.

"Taking a shower." Hermione laughed, "He needed one. He hasn't taken one in four days, thanks to this little cutie." Hermione said kissing Riddick on the cheek.

Ron laughed, "Hey, may I hold him?" He asked.

Hermione's smile widened, "Yeah." She said and carefully handed her son over.

Ron stood up and rocked him a little while walking over towards a window and looking out. "Master will be so proud." He whispered.

Hermione's brow furrowed, "What?" She asked.

Ron turned around, an evil smirk taking his lips, "Thank you, Hermione. For handing him over without a fuss. Now, I won't have to kill you." He said and with a 'pop' he disappeared.

Hermione suddenly found herself dizzy and soon darkness covered everything.

"Hermione. Hermione. Hermione!" Hermione heard her name being called and she felt as she was shaken by someone. Her eyes flittered open and she saw the worried face of her husband. And as she sat up even more worried faces of all the Order.

"What's..." Hermione asked and then she remembered, "Oh, gods Riddick!" She cried and Draco took her into his arms.

"Hermione, what happened?" Dumbledore asked.

Hermione looked up, "Ron, he came by." She said and everyone's worry multiplied, "He told me he was sorry, for everything. And then he asked to hold Riddick and I let him and then he disappeared." She said starting to cry again.

"Did he say anything, before he disappeared?" Remus asked.

Hermione shook her head, but then she started to nod, "Yes, he said something about his Master being proud. Master? What Master?" She asked.

Everyone looked away. That's when both, Hermione and Draco stood up and eyed them all.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked, but no one answered, not even Dumbledore.

"I believed my wife just asked you all a question!" Draco said sternly, "And if it has anything to do with the disappearance of our son, Gods be damned, you better answer it!"

Everyone still just looked away. Then Kaytrina stepped forward, "I'm a Prophet." She confessed, "Almost a year ago I foresaw a prophecy. Two enemies would come together in love and make light and that light would once and for all give everlasting peace to our world." Kaytrina started to recite her Prophecy and Draco and Hermione just stared at her, "The two enemies were in different houses and the girl would be resorted." At this Hermione gasped, "The light they would make would destroy every wizard like Voldemort." Kaytrina paused, "And then it changed."

"What changed?" Hermione asked, she was on the verge of more tears.

"The light now had a choice. He would pick either good or evil." Hermione bit her lip and looked away at this, "Then we were visited and the Prophecy changed once again."

"What do you mean you were visited?" Draco asked with a sneer.

"How did it change again?" Asked Hermione. A few tear slipping down her cheeks.

"The Goddess Destiny visited us and she has informed us that, he will choose darkness."

Hermione couldn't help it she started to flip out, "How could you have not told us?!" She yelled at Kaytrina. She looked at all the order members and they all looked at the floor, they didn't seemed surprised with Kaytrina's story, "And I suppose the Order knew! We are his parents! We had the bloody right to know! And why in the blazing fires of hell did Ron just disapparate with my son?!"

"He's a Death Eater, now." Arthur unformed, causing Molly to tense.

"What?!" Draco bellowed and parted away from Hermione.

"Oh, my god." Hermione cried and then she looked up at Kaytrina with hate in her eyes.

"We're sorry." Dumbledore stated softly.

"Sorry? Sorry!" Draco yelled, "Well, you wouldn't be sorry if we knew, now would you?! Maybe if we knew this wouldn't have happened! Maybe if we knew, our son wouldn't have gotten snatched, by that bloody two-faced Weasel! And I should have known! I'm in the BLOODY ORDER!" Draco bellowed, causing everyone to jump slightly. Looking to Hermione and seeing the tears streaming down her face he took her into his arms once more. Looking back at the order with hatred he said through clenched teeth, "If anything happens to my son, you will no longer have a guard for Hogwarts. Now, get out of my home."

With that everyone slowly filed out.

As soon as the portrait closed, Hermione broke down even more, "Shh." Draco said trying to hold back his own tears, "We'll get him back, dear. I promise." Draco said kissing her forehead as they sat on the cold floor, Hermione curled up; sobbing. And Draco hugging her with protective arms.
