Chapter 7. Malfoy Manor once again.

I woke up alone, awkwardly laying on a cold floor. I opened my eyes to see nothing but a small flame far away. I tried to stand but my legs were asleep and my head hurt. I could also feel blood by my lips. I eventually found feeling in them and stood up to walk towards the flame. But brick walls and a wooden door stopped me with only a small hole in it – that's where I could see the flame coming from. Once my eyes adjusted to the darkness I saw the little room I was in and my memories came flooding back. Malfoy had apparated away with me from Flourish and Botts and taken me to an alley where he took the spell off and then beat me. He hit me in the head and punched me in the mouth before knocking me unconscious.

After sitting alone in the cell for what seemed like forever, I heard voices and footsteps and I tried to listen to what they were saying. I could tell one was Malfoy, but I didn't recognize the other voice.

"Well, well. Look who's finally awake." I could hear the smirk in Malfoy's voice, although I couldn't see him from the other side of the door.

"Evening Granger. You remember me, don't you?" The other voice said.

"So-" I cleared my throat. "Sorry, no. Who are you?"

He laughed. "Always polite. It's me, Blaise Zabini? The other Slytherin Sex God."

"Mhm." I said, feeling quite awkward, already knowing this boy's reputation.

There was silence.

"Come on Granger. Cooperate and you'll be allowed to go. Don't cooperate…and that's a different story." Malfoy again.

"What do you want to know then, ferret?"

The door flung open and light filled the room. Before I knew it I was on my feet, a hand around my throat and a wand pressed into my stomach.

"Watch what comes out of your mouth. It might just be the last thing you ever say, mudblood."

I grunted, with no air to produce any words. He dropped me to the ground and spat on me.

"Fine. Where am I then?"

"Malfoy Manor, isn't that obvious?" Blaise said with a superior tone in his voice.

"Zabini, shut up." Malfoy sounded mad.

"And what do you want?"

Malfoy turned to look at me again. He slowly circled me, looking me up and down.

"I asked you a question, Malfoy."

"And I heard you, mudblood."

I waited as he continued to look at me. Finally he spoke.

"Information. What the Order knows about the Death Eater plans and what the Order plans to do next. There are a lot of us in hiding still, but we know you are coming after us. Thankfully, because we helped rebuild Hogwarts, my mother and I are in the clear."

"Not until I tell the Ministry or they found out you kidnapped me."

"They'll have to find me if they want to arrest me."

"Malfoy, I thought we were over this. When I saw you in Diagon Alley before, you seemed generally upset about the war, and being a Death Eater and all."

"Have you never heard of acting Granger? I thought you would have, seeing as you're a mudblood."

"Of course I have Malfoy."

He smirked at my bad comeback and pulled Blaise out of the room with him. Before he shut the door, he looked at me and muttered a spell, sending my world black.

"Ron, calm down! She'll be fine! We'll get her back!"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HER? YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!"

"RONALD! Stop yelling at Harry! He is trying his best!"

"NO GINNY! NO ONE'S DOING ANYTHING AROUND HERE!"

"Actually Ron-"

"NO SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!"

"Ron."

"I SAID SHUT UP!"

"RON!"

"WHAT?"

"I already sent a patronus to Kingsley. He should be here in five minutes to decide what to do."

"I THOU-. Oh. Uhm...then thanks Harry."

"Mhm."

We then heard a knock at the door and Kingsley walked in.

"Sorry, I'm early. I didn't think anyone would mind though...considering."

"Of course not. Sit down, won't you?"

"Thanks Ginny, I will. Let me tell you what we've decided, the Aurors and I. Before we can do anything, we need to see the letter you were sent."

"WHY!"

"Ron, shut it."

"NO, this time I will NOT shut it!"

"You didn't last time either..." Harry said under his breath.

"I'm going to get 'Mione right now! Whether or not any of you are coming! Malfoy sent the letter. He lives at Malfoy Manor. SO I GUESS WE CAN ASSUME THAT'S WHERE SHE IS!"

"We don't know that for sure though Ron."

"DO YOU THINK I CARE, GINEVRA! BECAUSE I DON'T!"

"DON'T YOU DARE USE MY FULL NAME! AND YOU CAN'T GO BECAUSE THEY SAID ONLY I CAN GO!"

"I DON'T CARE!" And with that, he was gone, leaving three shocked faces standing in the living room of an unusual house. Not knowing, the one redhead that just left was in for the worst night of his life.
