The room was dark that Hermione wasn't even sure if she'd woken up or if she was still knocked out with her eyes closed. She was pretty sure she was awake because she could feel the pain her body and she could see a dim light. There was a small window in the room she'd been placed in and obviously it was all rock. Where was she? More importantly, where was Ginny?
"Ginny?" her voice cracked a bit in fear and her voice echoed in the room.
Hermione waited a few minutes but she didn't hear an answer but she swore someone else was in here with her. Doing her best she crawled around the room using her hands to feel around. "Ginny, please tell me you are here. I need to know." She stopped and sighed, sitting down on the ground. Obviously Ginny had gotten away or was knocked out in this room or whatever this was. It was really to dark to tell.
Silence was all she heard then followed by whispers in the darkness of the room. Neither of them sounded like Ginny. It got silent again then she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder and she jumped and screamed.
"Shhh! Hermione call down. It is Neville, Neville Longbottom," Neville whispered and Hermione knew it was really him by his voice.
"Why are you here?" Hermione whispered as she looked in the direction Neville's voice came from.
Another person was next her suddenly and Hermione jumped. "They are making sure they have everyone who could stop them. Well that is what they told us but we don't know if it is true," a soft, kind voice said and right away Hermione knew it was Luna Lovegood.
"I thought they were only after Ginny and I?" Hermione asked, getting worried a little bit now since she had no clue what happened to her friend.
"No, they aren't. They found Luna and me right away. We've been here for so long we don't even know what day it is anymore," Neville sighed then sitting down next to Hermione in the darkness. "They captured Harry and Ron at least a couple day ago if not a week. We could tell it was them. They were yelling and fighting the whole time but they weren't put in here. We have no clue where they were put but they had to past here to get where ever they were put."
"They had to be put somewhere close because we could still hear them for a few hours afterwards. We've heard them yelling at Draco every now since he brings us food. Nothing special but it keeps up alive," Luna said as she sat down on the other side of Hermione.
Neville sighed and seemed to shake his head but Hermione couldn't tell in the darkness. "They don't know we are here and I don't think they know you are here. It seems the Death Eaters planned well since they didn't put you with them."
Hermione sighed to herself and looked at the small window. This was just her luck. She was hoping to be put in the same place with Ron and Harry. Why did they have to be so smart not to put her in the same room? "Yeah… they planed this out well. It is horrible, just horrible."
She got up leaving Neville and Luna sitting on the floor as she did her best to get around them. When she passed she did her best to find a corner in the room but she noticed someone followed. She sat in the corner and whoever followed sat in front of her.
"Why is it horrible?"
It was Luna that followed. Hermione found that no surprise. This was defiantly girl talk, something no boy was ever good at. Neville wouldn't understand so Hermione was glade it was Luna that followed her. She didn't hear him say anything but some how he seemed to know and let Luna come.
"Things happened before Ron left. Things I couldn't tell him before he left but he should know," Hermione whispered quietly to Luna though she was sure Neville would learn one way or another. Still this was something Luna could help with better than Neville would have.
Luna was quiet for a few minutes trying to figure out what Hermione meant. After a few minutes of silence Luna finally spoke, "I am not sure I quite understand Hermione. What couldn't you tell Ron?"
"Before Ron left I found out I was pregnant with his child. I was too afraid to tell him so I let him leave without telling him," Hermione whispered softly but she knew Luna was close enough to hear. "I mean he was off to war and I didn't want him to be worrying about any of it. He deserves to know the truth."
Luna put her hand on Hermione's shoulder quietly in the darkness. "It is alright Hermione. I can understand what you were trying to do. Ron will understand once you get to tell him."
"If I get to tell him that is," Hermione whispered quietly then there was silence. She knew Luna would understand what she meant by this. After a few minutes Luna's hand left her shoulder and there was nothing but silence.
It remained silent for a good few hours after that. Hermione didn't know for sure how many hours but she knew it was getting late. The only window told her that. Sure it was small but it was enough to see what time of day it was.
All of the sudden Hermione jumped as someone burst into their room, with their wand lit up so they could see. It was Draco surprisingly but Hermione stayed where she was as he walked over to her. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up off the ground and of course she started to try to pull away. Some how he over powered her and pulled her out of the room as she screamed.
"Shut up Granger!" Draco snapped at her a few times as she screamed and tried to get away.
Draco shut the door to the room leaving Neville and Luna behind. He continued to pull Hermione down the hall as she yelled and tried to get away. She never knew Draco could be this strong and she had no clue where it had come from. They past another door and she could swear she could hear crying from inside it.
With a smirk on his face Draco stopped and threw Hermione against the wall and she cried out. He put his wand to her knowing she had no wand to fight back so she wouldn't dare to move. "Where did Ginny go to?"
Hermione stared up at Draco with tears of pain in her eyes some a little. "How should I know? I didn't even know she got away!" Though she knew yelling at him wouldn't help but she really didn't know where Ginny would go.
Angry Draco slapped Hermione across the face as hard as he could knowing it wasn't much but he knew he couldn't kill her, not yet. "Liar! Where is she?"
"I don't know!" Hermione yelled, waiting for whatever had for her next. Though she knew places Ginny might have gone she really didn't know at all.
Draco stopped when someone sounded like they were banging up against the door near them. He kicked the door and there was silence for a moment then he grabbed Hermione by the hair and pulled her off the ground and pushed her up to the door that had bars so she could see in. "You better stop Weasley before your little girlfriend gets it," he growled, putting his want to her neck.
It was hard but Hermione struggled not to show any pain and Harry and Ron moved toward the door. "Ron, just do it. Please… I will be fine," she whispered softly, trying to fight the pain.
Ron looked at Hermione through the bars and tried to fight it but it was hard. He wanted to protect her because he loved her so much even though he'd been away for 8 or 9 months, he'd lost track. "'Mione, just tell him where my sister is."
Hermione closed her eyes for a second then looked up at Ron. "I don't know where she went to… she could be anywhere…" she whispered back but Draco could hear it still and he pulled her away from the door by her hair. "Ron!" She knew her screaming didn't help as Draco pulled her back down the hall as Ron screamed her name.
Draco put her back into the room and closed the door leaving her with Neville and Luna. She sat by the door and listened as Ron continued to yell her name and try to break the door. This happened for a few hours before she figured Ron gave up trying. "Ron," she called quietly but hoping it would be heard.
"Hermione?"
Hermione smiled hearing Ron's voice quietly return back to her. "It will be okay. Ginny will get someone to save us. I know she will." It was the most heart aching pain for her, to be so far away from Ron knowing he was sort of close by. She laid her head against the door as Luna sat next to her.
"Hermione…" Ron whispered again after a few minutes of silence between the two. "I love you."
Quietly she laid her head on Luna's shoulder and cried, trying not to be loud. "I love you to Ron. I really do," she whispered. The room was silent now. Neville sat out of the way as Luna comforted Hermione quietly. They figured Ron and Harry were talking in hushed tones, so quiet they couldn't hear.
