A/N: I AM SO SORRY, OH MY GLOB.
I had such a horrible writers block, and I couldn't focus on this chapter, wanted to write the next ones already and I think this is kind of messed up, but meh. :/ I'm really sorry for the delay, I couldn't write at all. PLEATH FORGIVE MEEEEH. ;-; 3

Disclaimers: I do not own any of the stuff in here, besides OC's and imaginary places. Thanks for not thinking they were mine xD

Warnings: None for this chapter. ^-^Luff you all, sorry for taking up so much time, more to come soon!
Please Read and Review! 3

***IMPORTANT NOTE***
I have been told that I messed up the dates.
This is not what happened at all. I simply wanted to describe different parts of the story and I will often switch back and forth in times to show the full story of the character as we reach Friday. ^-^ I'm sorry I didn't clear that out in the first place, I thought I had.
My fault!

Also, an addition for this. I realised I messed up the times of the party and everything. The chapters have been updated, so please check them out so far and the changes are visible. :D Thanks for being so patient with this story so far. :P

Taken By Flames

Chapter Three

"He's not answering his phone, Blaise!" Draco panted as he paced around the house.

Blaise suddenly snapped his fingers. "Didn't you take all his muggle devices away, you prat?!" he panicked.

Draco's face paled and he looked at Blaise in horror, clutching his stomach. "What's happened to him, he should be back by now." He whimpered and sat on the couch.

"How the hell did that cheeky thing sneak off, I didn't even see him…" Blaise sighed.

"Blaise, for fuck's sake, my son is missing! He's probably still at that party, and who knows what's happened to him!" Draco cried out and began shaking uncontrollably. "I'm the worst parent ever, he hates me. He said so, right up my face!" he shrieked.

Blaise sighed and sat down next to the blond. "Hey, it's alright…" he mumbled softly and pulled him for a gentle hug. "Scorpy is just a bit of a rebel, he didn't mean it when he said it." He whispered soothingly to his best friend.

Draco bit his lip. "I can sense it, something happened to him. Something bad." He whispered.

Blaise soothed his hair. "I'm sure he'll be okay." He mumbled and held Draco closer.

The blond nodded softly. "He has to be somewhere close, right? I mean, how far can a twelve year old go with the capability of using magic?" He said and burst into tears.

Harry had been having a crazy day on that Friday, soon discovering the following night would be even worse than the rest of the day.

He rubbed his eyes tiredly and got up from his chair, glancing out of his window. The sky was heavily clouded and the lights on the streets were slowly becoming alive. Harry just knew something was bound to happen to him, in addition to all the crazy things that haunted him.

First it was Ginny, who decided to ring him to "see how you're doing" as she said. And then Miranda began freaking out behind the stacks that she was trying to re-arrange but her wand wouldn't work.

As Harry thought back to the day, he realized it wasn't so bad.

Suddenly the phone rang and got him out of his thoughts. He slowly moved to pick it up and the first thing he heard was rapid breaths.

"Hello?" he asked in worry.

More heavy panting.

"Hello, is someone there?" Harry asked again.

A heart tearing scream shot through the phone and into Harry's ear, making Harry back away before he heard a loud noise and the line went dead.

"Oh god…" he breathed and covered his mouth. He quickly checked for the caller ID. It was blanked out and it wasn't traceable in any possible way.

Astoria Greengrass could remember pacing around an almost empty flat, the last boxes getting vanished one after another.

"Mom, will I still be able to come see you?" Scorpius was asking her.

She would nod softly and hug her son gently, kissing the top of his head and holding him there; not really wanting to admit she was afraid of his sake.

It had now been two days after she changed houses, and Astoria was still unpacking. She heard her phone ring, cursing at a pile of emptied boxes that got in her way, walking over them to get her phone.

"Hello?" she said when she answered.

"Mom, hey!" Scorpius beamed happily.

Astoria felt panic rising inside her. "Scorp, what a wonderful surprise, darling." She smiled.

Scorpius grinned. "So, I wanted to ask you. Can I go to Sam and Mark's party this Thursday? Dad won't let me go, it's so unfair." He whined.

Astoria sighed. "Your father and I already spoke of this. I agree with him, and you are not going. He told me he won't let you no matter how bad you beg, darling." She mumbled.

"But moooom!" Scorpius whined again.

"You know that acting like a five year old will only make him hate the whole idea even more." Astoria scolded him fondly.

Scorpius huffed. "You're no fun." He mumbled.

Astoria chuckled. "I have to go, Scorp, I am still unpacking. Love you." She said.

Scorpius mumbled a halfhearted "love you" as Astoria closed the phone and she chuckled some more.

Then her bell rang and she stopped all her movements, slowly backing towards her couch and sitting there soundlessly. 'He will go away…' she thought.

By he, she meant her ex boyfriend. He was obsessed with her, and had driven Astoria crazy with his jealousy and extreme possessiveness. It had reached a point where when David met Scorpius, he took Scorpius away for a second and Scorpius returned to his mother terrified. Astoria knew that he'd haunt her down again, and that's why she moved all the time. She was unaware of what David could've said to scare Scorpius, but she made sure it ended quicker than imaginable.

A note slipped under her door and Astoria held her breath, waiting for the person to leave as her bell rang again. She calmed down when she heard the footsteps outside her door leaving, the lift making a hurl as it took the person to the bottom floor and she was relaxed only when she heard the exit door closing.

She got up and made herself a warm cup of tea before walking over to the door and checking the note. She gasped when she saw letters glued together like in those silly muggle horror movies and read carefully.

"YOUR SON WiLL DiE If HE GOES TO THaT PARTy, ToRI. KEeP aN eyE ON HIM, tHE BoYS ARE DANGERous."

Astoria shuddered and crumbled up the note. David couldn't do anything, he didn't know where the party was at. And she wouldn't tell him either. She made her cup of tea and relaxed into her couch, spelling the rest of the boxes in their place to deal with later the same day.

CLIFFHANGER! ;)

Again, so sorry for the late post, I will try and finish the fourth chapter in a few days. :D
