The next day Hermione entered the Great Hall and as normal Draco wasn't there yet while everyone else was. This wasn't out of the ordinary so Hermione just sat down, this time next to the first year Ravenclaw and began eating breakfast. But half an hour later when Draco still hadn't arrived Hermione began to worry. She excused herself from the table and went down to the dungeons. Being Head Girl had its advantages and one of them was that she knew every password. After saying the password Hermione entered the Slytherin common room. Seeing that he wasn't in the common room Hermione went up into the seventh year boys' dorm to see if he was there. It was then that Hermione panicked for he wasn't there and his bed looked as if it hadn't even been slept in. A note was lying on his pillow and she quickly opened it and read its contents.
'Mudblood
I am assuming that you are the one reading this since you seem to have formed some sort of… loving bond with my son. Draco has been brought home to do his duty to his Lord, to give his Light powers over so that the Dark Lord will be all powerful. I have decided just for the fun of it that I will leave you a clue as to where Draco is located though I highly doubt you will figure it out.
Far, far away in a far off lan, a dark place loms high abuve everything else. A madeoiselle rases across a long field without flowers. She has long beutiful hair that iz curled at the end. She cass a light so bright that al can se.
Maybe you shall be intelligent enough to solve this, but I doubt you will. But as a precaution if anyone helps you decode this the letter shall burn and I will know. Draco will then be moved from where I have imprisoned him and you shall never know where he is and he will be killed. Of course he shall be killed either way for betraying the Dark Lord, but for the fun of it you have ten days before that shall happen starting December 26th.
Good luck or maybe not so,
Lucius Malfoy'
Hermione starred at the letter for a second before she turned on her heel and ran all the way back to the Great Hall. She burst into the hall and went straight to Professor Dumbledore.
"Professor Dumbledore, Draco's been kidnapped by his father!"
Dumbledore looked up in shock. "And why do you believe it is his father who has kidnapped him?"
"Because he left a note. I'd show it to you but there's a message that needs to be broken and only I am allowed to decode it or else the letter will burn to ashes and Draco will be killed right away. All I can say is that it was his father who took him so that Voldermort could get his angel powers and be all powerful. Also that he has ten days before he is killed." Dumbledore looked truly alarmed by this but it was Harry he spoke first.
"Why's Malfoy got angel powers?" Harry asked bluntly and loudly.
Hermione jumped. She had forgotten that there were students in the room. After a moment she answered Harry in a cold voice. "It's because he is an angel. Looks like you don't know the religious history of the magical world just like I didn't until about a month or so ago." Hermione then looked back at the headmaster who looked very worried indeed.
"Well then Ms. Granger you must hurry and decode that message." Hermione nodded and raced out of the Great Hall and to the library.
For two days Hermione worked diligently, but it wasn't until about 6:00 in the evening on the second day that Hermione figured out how to decode the message. Quickly Hermione began writing down letters and words until it all came out. Doom Castle…

Meanwhile at Doom Castle Draco was looking down at the stone floor of his cold and dirty cell. His hands were chained up on the wall and his shoulders were killing him. He was sporting a cut lip, black eye, and broken rib but he was otherwise fine. He still had eight days until his angel powers would be taken from him and nine days, which would make it his eleventh day there, until he was killed. All he could hope was that Hermione would break the code his father told him he had left her and save him from this fate. Funny isn't it? In all the fairytales you're told when you are young and unknowing it's always the male that is the one saving the female. The prince or knight saving the princess, not the other way around. Here it was however. Draco, the male, needed Hermione, the female, to save his ass.
Draco sighed and looked out the small window that was at the top of his cell. He silently prayed to the Light King that Hermione would figure it out and save him before his powers were taken and he was killed. He knew that if the Dark Lord got hold of his powers he would be all powerful having already acquired the Dark powers. Draco feared for the life of everyone if that were to happen. No-one from the Light would survive if he was all powerful, not one Light person. Many of the Dark would be killed as well and all though that wasn't all too terrible, it was still scary.
That just couldn't happen. Hermione would find him, he knew it and then Potter would be able to defeat the Dark Lord and be a hero. Yep the boy-who-wouldn't-fucking-die-and-conquered-the fucking-Dark-ass-Lord. Ya that would be the name Draco would call him. It was fitting that's for sure.
Draco coughed and flecks of blood fell onto him. 'Shit and now I have a fucking punctured lung! That explains a lot! Fucking asshole just had to kick me there. When I get out of here I am so going to kick his ass and then kill him despite the fact that I'll lose my angel powers.' Was what Draco thought and trust me when I say that he was dead serious…

"I figured it out! I know where Draco is!" Hermione exclaimed as she came running into the Great Hall. The headmaster stood quickly and swiftly approached her.
"Where is he?" he asked in such a serious tone that Hermione was momentarily shocked. The next second however she was telling him the location.
"He's located at some place called Doom Castle. I don't know where that is but I've heard of it."
"Yes, I know of the place. I've been there before. It's an obvious place, too obvious which is why it was chosen. Get ready Ms. Granger and be down here in ten minutes."
Hermione rushed out of the hall and to her common room. She quickly changed into black pants that were easy to move in and a black long sleeved shirt that fit her form nicely. After putting on some black boots (not high heeled) she raced down to the Entrance Hall all the while putting on her cloak. As she approached the great oak doors she found that not only was Professor Dumbledore standing there but so was Harry and surprisingly Blaise.
"Let's go then" Dumbledore said. And so the four headed out into the night to go save an angel…
