CHAPTER NO. 10: THE KIDNAPPERS

WARNING: MILD LANGUAGE AND A BIT OF VOILENCE

She was blindfolded; her sides were tied so tightly that she could barely breathe.

'S-Scorpius, a-are you there-?' came her soft voice.

Someone took off the blindfold. Rose opened her eyes, blinked several times to clear the blurry image before her eyes.

She gasped.

Scorpius Malfoy was standing there, grinning madly, holding the blindfold in his pale hand.

'Surprise,' he whispered.

MEANWHILE:

The Potters and the Weasleys were in the Headmaster's office. Hermione was settled on the armchair, sitting on Ron's lap, sobbing into his chest.

'This is curious indeed,' muttered the headmaster.

'Who would take those kids, we had no such problems at the ministry,' Harry said thoughtfully. 'We were practically begging for some crime scene, the whole Britain is in peace, all the death eaters are in Azkaban, we made sure of that.'

'Everyone except the Malfoys,' Ginny reminded him.

'They aren't a problem,' Neville said. 'No way would they do something like this, they are a bunch of ruddy cowards, aren't they?'

'Don't count on that,' Ron said darkly, stroking Hermione's hair. 'Remember Malfoy was the one involved in Dumbledore's death. Lucius Malfoy was involved in Sirius's.'

'But Scorpius is gone t-too R-Ron.' Hermione blubbered emerging from his chest, wiping her tears.

Harry was thinking fast. Somehow he thought Mafloy was involved in the planning.

'It could be a set up,' he said quietly.

'What d'you mean,' Ginny said curiously.

But Ron understood.

'THAT SON OF A-' Ron ragged.

'Ron!'

Hermione cleared her throat loudly, there was no way she would let him sear in front of the children no matter how bad the situation was.

'What do you mean?' Ginny repeated loudly.

'Aristota left early, I saw her apparating. They could've taken Rose, and taking Scorpius was to confuse us,' Harry said slowly.

'Why'

'The Christmas dinner-' Lily said.

'-didn't go too well,' James finished for her.

Albus was attached to his mother. He was very pale and had barely said a word after the incident.

'I doubt it's the Christmas dinner,' Ron growled.

'I a-agree,' I think Malfoy wants revenge,' Hermione said.

'Revenge for what?' Harry said. "What does he want revenge for; Voldemort was never really good with the Malfoys.'

'I don't think they want revenge,' Neville said.

'I think he was seriously offended by the mark comment,' Ginny scowled.

'OK people let's just focus on getting my daughter back, who gives a damn about why he did it?'

This only caused Hermione to burst into tears again.

AT THE MANOR:

Rose's eyed went wide.

'Revenge,' Scorpius grinned. 'It's so sweet isn't it, I can actually feel it now, for real.'

Rose's face went red with fury.

'YOU-YOU BETRAYER!' she screamed. 'YOU SON OF A BITCH, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME, LET ME GO!'

Rose starting towing ropes binding her, moving her hands at the back. It was no use.

Scorpius gave a harsh laugh.

'Try all you want missy,' he snarled. 'This happens when you play with the Scorpius Malfoy.'

'I never played with you,' she shouted at him.

'Wrong,' Scorpius said calmly. 'You think I don't see it, looking at Potter like he's some some-' he broke off.

'I swore to myself I would teach him a lesson for liking you, for setting eyes on you, but then I thought I wouldn't be much fun now would it? You played with me and now I'll play with you,'

And with that he slapped her across the cheek, bolted out of the room, slamming it shut.

Rose cried loudly as she tried to wriggle herself free.

I might not be able to update it soon, but I'll try, I am getting too much homework these days. Again Thank you guys so much for the reviews and stay tuned to find out what happens next!
