Hermione woke up and the overwhelming darkness made her immediately assume she was still asleep. She blinked a few times until her eyes adjusted enough to catch sight of the thin ray of light that was sneaking underneath a door a few feet from her. Carefully picking herself from her haphazard pose, she walked around the room. It was less of a room and more of a prison cell judging by the size. It was maybe four feet from stone wall to stone wall. A stone door, barely discernable from the walls surrounding it, let in just a fragment of light. There was no door knob. Hermione did a hopeful, but futile attempt to check the floors and her person for her wand. No such luck.

Hermione sat back in the corner of the cell, pressing against it as if to sink into the stone. Perhaps Remus had been luckier. She couldn't remember anything but being hit by a curse and falling to the ground. For all she knew, Remus had escaped. Perhaps Remus had alerted the Order that she had been taken. Surely she couldn't have been here long? A few hours at the most? So Harry or Kingsley or any of the others in the Order would be here any moment…

Sure enough, the door opened, flooding the cell with light so bright that Hermione had to close her eyes for a few seconds as she clambered to her feet. When she reopened them, three hooded Death Eaters stepped into her cell.

"You look exactly like your son, Mr. Malfoy," Hermione spat, "I don't know why you bother with the mask."

"Mudblood," Lucius hissed, "don't you dare spew your filth on our pure-blood name."

"Your name is filthy enough without me touching it."

"Aren't you missing your half-breed boyfriend yet? Or are you glad to be rid of at least one level of filth?"

"He's my husband and what have you done with him?"

Lucius removed the mask and grinned, "I don't think you need worry for long." He turned to the still masked Death Eater. "Grab her."

They both pulled out their wands and Hermione found herself again crumpling to the ground.

A/N: Sorry this one's so short. I'm in college now, so I have a bit more time to write, so hopefully this story will be finished before October!
