Last time:
"Where are they?" he asked in a panic
"Cabin." is all she replied before her body gave out and she fainted.
Draco picked her up and placed her on the couch, before apparating to the cabin immediately.
Now:
When Draco arrived at the cabin, there wasn't a person in sight. Draco searched the entire place, finding nothing but clothes and food. Swearing loudly, He did the only thing he could think of... go to Potter.
When he arrived at Harry's , Harry instantly went into a fit thinking something was wrong with Hermione.
"Calm down Potter, Hermione's fine, it's my father thats in trouble." Draco stated
"Whats happened?"
"My mother has been trying to get my father to leave Hermione and take her back. He refused to go back with my mother and chose to stay with Hermione, They went to a cabin for a few weeks to have time to themselves when my mother showed up. I don't know all of the details, but Hermione mentioned a few things before she passed out. She said my mother put my father under the Imperious and plans to force him into marriage tomorrow."
"Hermione wasn't injured was she?"
"No Potter, but if my mother actually gets my father to marry her again, I'm sure she is going to use the binding ceremony, he wont be able to leave her."
Harry slumped down to the couch, He had a lot of respect for Lucius for bring Hermione back and taking care of her, he felt he owed it everyone involved to try to help.
"Any clue where your mom would have taken him?"
"None, we have over thirty properties and it would take a few days to search them all."
"And thats not even saying they are at a property that you know about." Harry added
"What about Hermione, she came to him once, don't they have a special connection or something?" Draco asked
"They do, but she went to him when she was in a coma, I have no clue if it will work now." Harry explained, "Let me floo Poppy and see if she knows anything about this."
Draco waited on the couch patiently for Harry to come out. When he came back, Poppy was with him.
"Well?" Draco asked
"There may be a chance, but we have to put Hermione into a comatose state and hope she searches for him." Harry stated glumly.
"Is that the only way?" Draco asked
"I'm afraid so." Poppy stated, "Now please take me to Hermione so we can get started."
Draco stood and took Poppy by the arm for side along aparation, Harry followed them to the manor.
When they arrived, Hermione was sitting up, wringing her hands together..
"Did you find him?" she asked weakly
"No dear, we are hoping you will." Poppy said in a soft voice.
"How?" she asked
"We need to put you into an induced coma, you need to search for him through your connection." Harry told her.
Hermione nodded, " Lets get started, the sooner he's away from that bitch, the better."
Hermione lay back on the couch and closed her eyes, waiting for the hell to return that she had recently escaped. Poppy waved her wand over Hermione body, causing it to instantly fall limp. All they could do is wait.
Hermione's world went white again, she felt like she was falling, but in control the entire time. There was nothing around her, no visual stimuli, just white. She closed her eyes and pictured Lucius while focusing on the connection. She remembered it, it looked like a tunnel so all she had to do is find the tunnel. She could hear voices in the back ground, she instantly knew they were the three people she left behind, but she couldn't concentrate on what they were saying, all she could process was find the tunnel. She floated for what seemed like an eternity until she finally spotted the tunnel and floated into it.
As she floated, Harry, Draco, and Poppy's voice dissolved and was replaced by the cackling of Narcissa. She made her way closer until she reached the end, which was like a window. She could see everything around him, including Narcissa and Johnson, who were laughing at a confused Lucius.
He was sitting on a small bed in a corner of a hideous pink room, looking around like a frightened child.
"Lucius, can you hear me?" she screamed, hoping to connect with him. He continued to look around, but didn't respond. Hermione closed her eyes and tried to talk to him mentally.
"Lucius, can you here me?" she asked again
"Hermione?" he answered
"You have to fight it, mind over matter, Lucius, just concentrate on breaking the spell." She replied
Lucius didn't respond, but she could tell he was trying to fight it, his eyes were moving faster and faster, like he was trying to focus.
"I cant" He finally said
"Yes you can, I could tell you were trying, just try again before you end up married to Narcissa again."
Lucius went quiet again, struggling with trying to break through the curse, but it was strong, too strong. Hermione was concentrating too, she was sending him images of Lucius and Herself at the cabin, and at the manor, hoping it would cause him to fight harder... and it worked.
"Hermione, can you hear me?"
"Yes, I can here you, Did it work?"
"I think so" he replied while wiggling his finger, "I can move my body."
"Good, Do you know where you are?"
"126 Wilford street. It's an old death eater hide out."
"Good, remember that and aparate out, go back to the manor."
Lucius gave a curt nod and smirked at Narcissa.
"Good bye love" he hissed and was gone in a flash, leaving Narcissa staring with her mouth wide open.
