Finding Ginny was the only way...

" Weasley..."purred Draco.

" What do you want, Malfoy?" replied Ginny in a bored voice.

" Where's Hermione?" said Draco decisively.

" I thought she was with you!"

" She uhh…" began Draco lamely with a flinch on his handsome face.

" DRACO MALFOY! What have you done?" Ginny could tell that something was wrong by the look on Draco's face. And not just something. Something big.

"I refuse to be blamed!"

" Just tell me what happened!" Ginny snapped fiercely.

Draco told the whole incident to Ginny uncertainly.

"Are you serious, Malfoy?"

" What do I look like I am? Joking? Are you going to help, or not? We better find her before Zabini …"

"My ears are burning? Did someone just call my name?" called Blaise heartily as he appeared in front of them with a satisfied smile on his face.

"If you're wondering where Hermione is …" he lightly and airily began.

" WHERE IS SHE ?" Draco spat angrily, fire dancing in his eyes as he lunged forward.

"Fancy a fight?" laughed Blaise loudly as he flexed his huge muscles and turned around to head down to the dungeons.

" I think he has Hermione." Ginny said quietly with a crease of worry on her pretty face.
"WHAT !"

" Are you daft? Didn't you notice the way he looked, the way he smiled and carried himself. He's got a secret."

"Where's she ?"

- Back to Blaise -

Blaise laughed sarcastically with a " vengeance is sweet" grin appeared in the corner of his mouth. He walked purposely to his room with Hermione tied up and gagged.

"Zabini? Why the heck did you tie up Parkinson? Draco might kill you for that; he's quite infatuated with her lately." Said a weedy looking boy by the name of Theodore Nott.

"Yeah I know. Lately, she's been… very charming."

"Zabini's got the hots for Parkinson!" The boys cried out.

" I'm hooked ! Hopelessly …" Blaise winked mischievously at Hermione.

Blaise took out his wand when Nott, Crabbe and Goyle had left, hearing some shouting noises, hoping for a fight.

" Imperio" Blaise whispered. Hermione's eyes opened in shock. She would have to do whatever he master, which in this case was Blaise, told her to do.

But, to Blaise's surprise Hermione was not obeying commands. She was still trying VERY hard to break free. Suddenly, the door burst open and Goyle said, "Nothing. It was all over when we got there."

To end the boredom, Nott suggested a game of truth or dare. Naturally, a lie dispelling charm was cast.

"What should I do? The silencing charm is on me, I can't even speak." Hermione thought in the corner.

A harsh, cold voice broke though her thoughts. "I think Pansy should play this game. Remember how she loved it the other time. We toyed her for five whole minutes "

"She actually enjoyed all that ! She's crazy!"

"Yeah, why not let her play." Another boy stood up walking towards her going to untie her.

"YES ! This is my chance!"
she thought.

Hermione kicked the boy that untied her and ran towards the door, she clutched the knob, trying to make it budge.

"Alohomora." She thought as hard as she could inside her head.

" The door's locked on both sides. None can come in and none can go out to spoil the fun!" Blaise implied, and lazily flicking his wand at Hermione, Blaise said, " finite incantatem."

" Look everyone, Parkinson's trying to run from the game."

"I am not !" Hermione regretted saying it after seeing Blaise lit a nasty smile on his face. She sat grudgingly into the circle and joined in. "Where's Draco when you need him!"

"You don't have to worry about Draco; he'll be taken care of when he comes." Said Blaise harshly, laughing verry animatedly, "Yes, he'll be taken very good care of."

"Pansy! Pansy! P…." a big fist to Draco's head rendered him unconscious.

" What have you done !" Hermione said, in a little submissive voice, then remembered she had her wand with her the whole time. Slipped her hand into her pocket, feeling nothing, she thrust her hand into her other pocket. Nothing.

" What?" she called loudly.

"Looking for something, Parkinson?" Hermione looked up and saw Blaise dangling her wand loosely in his fat hands.

Hermione took a few steps back as Blaise grinned signaled the other boys to go out of the room. It was now only Hermione and Blaise, well, not counting the unconscious.

"Malfoy isn't the only one that can give you happiness." Blaise said with a warm smile. He opened his arms slightly, hoping to make him seem kinder, he took a few steps forward to Hermione, and she took a few steps back. Soon, he had cornered her.

"Please, please, don't come any closer." Hermione tried to speak but no sound came out.
All that came out was a small whimper. The next thing she heard was " Imperio !" This hit her hard in the chest, and she flailed her arms wildly as she began to fall.
