Chapter 12

AN:Sorry for the short chapter but there is An interesting chapter in store for you, I hope you enjoy it lol. It's like an I'm sorry for being away for so long present.

Recap:

Looking around the clearing she heard Ginny's voice drown out as she stopped talking, and Lily took that as her cue to start looking around. Walking through the plain lily caught a flash of light from the side of her eye and turned towards the forest. Moving forward to investigate, this was finally the moment of truth and she couldn't wait. After this she would be able to begin practicing her transformation and would be on the steady road to becoming an animagus.

Walking silently towards the forest, she heard a small rustling in the bushes and moved closer to get a better look. As she came close enough she pushed some of the branches out of the way to get a clear view of the animal that was hiding. With a flash of sharp white teeth and claws Lily jumped back with a small scream landing on her bottom. She was staring at the beautiful animal in front of her in fear and awe. She just knew this was her animagus form, there was an undeniable pull towards it, and she just couldn't believe that the animal that best represented her was a …

Blinking uncertainly Lily looked around at her surroundings, when she remembered she was in the room of requirement. Looking to the left she saw Ginny leaning forward curiously as she pulled herself into a sitting position. Sighing Lily rubbed her hands over her face tiredly completely ignoring Ginny and Hermione, both of which were now seated in front of her with excited looks on their faces.

"So, what animal are you?" Ginny asked impatiently.

"Eh...what?" Lily asked confusedly.

"Don't rush her Ginny; she's been out for two hours now." Hermione scolded.

"Two hours?" Lily questioned.

"Yes, you went into a pretty deep trance, thought we lost you there for a moment." Ginny said worried.

"Oh"

"So what animal are you." Hermione asked finally letting her curiosity getting the better of her and making Ginny glare.

"I can't really remember, all a saw was a huge plain and a forest, and I started walking towards the forest and then…" she trailed off.

"Yes…come on what happened next." Ginny asked excitedly conjuring popcorn and munching on them with anticipation as Lily continued her story.

"It jumped out of nowhere, teeth and claws, it was so big, I was terrified, it was a tiger, a huge tiger, staring at me, growling"

"That's so cool Lily." Ginny said offering the popcorn to her slightly shaken friend.

"Makes sense though." Hermione said thoughtfully. "You're awfully loyal and fierce and would do anything to protect those you love, so it kind of fits." She trailed off.

"I can't wait to see James' face when he realizes his girlfriend can eat him." Ginny said laughing when she seen Lily gag.

"So what's next?"

"Well I finished the potion steps for now; all I need are the dragon's blood so we can add it in a week's time, let it brew for another week and then were done." Hermione said staring at the now softly bubbling potion.

As soon as they got the dragons blood the potion would be complete and they would be able to start Lily on her animagus training. They knew she would transform immediately, but Lily still needed training so that she would be able to change within a moments notice. They also wanted to show her how to bring certain aspects of the transformation into the human body like sight, hearing, smell and agility. It would take a while for Lily to fully master these but it would truly be worth it in the end. Especially when they beat the marauders at their own game and became there own little group.

A week had passed and they had finally gotten their hands on some of the dragon's blood they needed to complete the last step of the potion. Their only problem now was getting Lily to calm down enough so that she could attend her classes without tipping someone off to what was going on in her excitement. Walking to their first class which was charms, Hermione, Ginny and Lily walked ahead of the boys so that they wouldn't be heard. Hermione also cast a privacy ward around them so that even Remus' hearing would not be able to penetrate it.

Discussing the last step of the potion with lily, Ginny told her that the potion would be complete in another week since they were adding the dragon's blood tonight it just needed time to brew and should be ready for the full moon.

Turning a corner onto the charms corridor, Hermione clumsily bumped into someone knocking herself and the other person to the ground. Looking up she realized it was Lucius Malfoy and she was immediately on hr guard. The marauders had not turned the corner yet so knew nothing of what was happening at this very moment. Grabbing Ginny's offered hand Hermione pulled herself up from the ground eyes still locked on Malfoy's form as he gracefully dusted himself off before looking down at her a sneer fixed on his face. Hermione watched with a mixture of curiosity and disgust as Malfoy looked her body over with a smirk on his face, shivering Hermione broke eye contact with him to look at her two prone friends watching carefully for any sign of attack from the blonde Slytherin.

"What do you want Malfoy?" Ginny questioned.

"What I want has nothing to do with you Dumbledore, rather than your charming sister." He hissed taking a step towards Hermione.

Ginny and lily Whipped out their wands pointing them at the blonde aristocrat, but he ignored both wands and took another step towards her invading her personal space. Leaning down Lucius whispered something in Hermione's ear causing her to freeze, and let out a tiny growl. Lucius hearing the growl whispered something else to Hermione smirk firmly in place causing her to take a step back in shock and disgust.

"Malfoy if you think that is ever going to happen then you really are delusional." Hermione growled.

"You wound me Mon petite beau. Till I see you again." Taking a small bow Malfoy walked off towards his next class without as much as a look back. Hermione who realized that he was far enough away from both her and her friends continued walking, completely ignoring the calls of her friends as they rushed to catch up with in the attempt to worm out what Malfoy had said.

When they finally got the chance to ask what was Charms was already over, Hermione held up her hand to silence them, saying she would tell them later that she had to think.

Hermione spent the rest of the day going over exactly what Malfoy had said to her that had made her react so badly. She just couldn't understand why he had chosen her out of everyone in the school he could have chosen, it had to be her.

Flashback:

"What do you want Malfoy?" Ginny questioned.

"What I want has nothing to do with you Dumbledore, rather than your charming sister." He hissed taking a step towards Hermione.

"Hermione wasn't it?" He hissed into her ear. "I have been watching you Hermione, you and your friends, for a while now, and I can't help but wonder what you're hiding."

Noticing that she had frozen he continued. "See now I know that you're hiding something, even that delectable body of yours is betraying you, and I will find out what it is, but in the mean time I'd like to put that body of yours to some use." He stopped when Hermione let out a small growl in anger.

"I know you're with that filthy wolf, yes I said wolf, I know all about your filthy little boyfriend and what he is, and you deserve someone better, Purer." He whispered delighting in the way her body froze as he spoke.

"Remember, I will be watching you." He said before pulling away.

"Malfoy if you think that is ever going to happen then you really are delusional." Hermione growled.

"You wound me Mon petite beau. Till I see you again." Taking a small bow Malfoy walked off

End flashback

Hermione was pulled out of her reverie by Ginny and Lily as they entered the Great hall for dinner. The day had flown by with Hermione ensnared in her own dark thoughts. Lily and Ginny were worried about her but they knew she would tell them what Malfoy had said when she was ready. Moving over to the Gryffindor table they sat down quietly beside the Marauders who were all stuffing their faces with food and joking around loudly with their other housemates.

Remus sensing Hermione's distress looked up at his mate with concerned eyes, before standing up and switching places with Lily so that he could sit beside his mate. No sooner than he had sat down Hermione had buried her face in his chest breathing in his soothing scent as he whispered sweet words of comfort for something he knew nothing about. Rubbing slow circles on her back he swore he would find out what had happened to her and punish those responsible.

When Hermione had finally calmed down enough from Remus' ministrations he made her eat some dinner. Hermione sat quietly eating the small bit of food that she had placed on her plate, while practically sitting on Remus' lap. None of the other marauder' had noticed anything really different. It was getting closer to the full moon now and it was exactly 1 week and five days away, so both Hermione and Remus looked positively ill. When some of the other student's had asked they had said that it was a bug that Hermione had first and had given to Remus since they spent

So much time together.

As soon as Dumbledore had given the signal that dinner was ended Hermione had snapped out of her little episode and had a fake smile plastered on her face, she knew she wasn't fooling any of her friends but she didn't want them to worry. She also wanted to complete the potion with Lily as quickly as possible before the full moon.

Walking towards Gryffindor tower Hermione bid goodnight to Remus and trudged up to her dorm with Lily and Ginny behind her, they would need to plan a time when they could go to the room of requirement to add the last ingredient to the potion. Lily and Ginny mentioned that it would be so much easier to wait until everyone was asleep but Hermione disagreed.

When the plans were made Ginny and Lily went down to the common room to give Hermione some time to think by herself. Unknown to the two of them Hermione was just behind them with the dragon's blood and disillusioned so that nobody could see her sneak out of the common room alone.

Making sure to open and close the portrait hole quietly behind her, her resolve was set she would finish the potion tonight so that they could work on Lily's skill as quickly as possible. Earlier when Hermione had mentioned going straight away Ginny said that waiting would be fine that they had plenty of time and if they couldn't get down tonight then another day would be fine. They didn't seem to remember that the closer to the full moon the weaker Hermione got so the chance of finishing the potion on time lessened with the more time that they took to finish it.

Climbing up the moving stair cases careful to avoid Mrs. Norris and Filch as well as the wandering ghosts and teachers Hermione found her way to the room of requirement. Upon opening the door to reveal the room in which they had been brewing the potion previously she set to work preparing the dragon's blood to be added to the potion. Measuring the blood and adding it slowly to the potion Hermione began stirring the potion four times clockwise and seven times counter clockwise. When the blood was added she sat back letting it simmer for thirty minutes.

While the potion was simmering she asked the room for a book on werewolf relations that she could read while she waited on the potion to finish simmering.

Soon the thirty minutes were up and Hermione was already up and attending to the potion.

Now all she had to do was place a small time over the potion and speed up the time inside the ward so that a month will have passed inside while outside will only have been five days.

Applying the spell Hermione stood, ready to leave when she heard somebody opening the door. Spinning around she could see the handle of the door turning slowly, panicking she wished the room into a cozy library setting so that whoever entered would not expect anything.

Staring apprehensively at the door her breath caught in her throat as she waited to see who entered the room. The door was opening slightly and if she strained her neck she would be able to see who was entering. What felt like hours when the person behind the door was revealed, Hermione gasped in shock, before stumbling slightly when she seen the smug smirk etched into his face. Lucius Malfoy was standing in front of her smirking maliciously, his eyes made contact with hers causing her to flinch away and him to smile. Finally he took a step away from the door and looked around, frowning in disgust at the obviously Gryffindor room he wished it changed to Slytherin colors and it magically transformed before their eyes.

Not a word had passed between the two since he had entered, Hermione was frozen in fear. She was not afraid of him just what he might try to do to her now that she was alone and he seemed to realize this and walked towards her. Hermione took two steps back for every step he too towards her, making her fall backwards onto one of the high backed chairs that adorned the room. Lucius looked down at her with lecherous look on his face, before bending down so hi face was mere millimeters from her, his hot breath on her face sending chills down her spine. She thought he was going to try kiss her before she heard him speak for the first time since he entered the room.

"Not scared of me Hermione are you." He

Hermione didn't answer and tried to stand up but he pushed her back down onto the chair with both hands on the sides to block her attempts to leave.

"Move Malfoy. Now!" Hermione growled.

"So a cat doesn't have your tongue, or should I say a wolf." He hissed.

"Shut it Malfoy, and move out of my way before I hex you." Hermione snarled pushing him with surprising strength, making Lucius stumble backwards slightly.

"Now why should I let you go when I have you all alone and right where I want you?" He asked looking down at her mockingly.

"Because if you don't I'll have to make you." Hermione said coming to stand in front of his intimidating figure.

Taking in her figure he let his eyes linger on her breasts before closing his eyes tight. Hermione took a step back from him when she realized he was changing the room once again, Looking around her too see what he was changing it too she did not see him open his eyes and walk toward her until he grabbed a hold of her wrist grabbing her attention. Swinging her body around to face him she was about to start struggling when she caught sight of what was by the far wall. It was a large king sized bed with silk green and silver sheets. Looking up at him with Horror and disgust Hermione pulled her wrist from his grip, surprising him once again with her unbelievable strength. Hermione paused for a moment when she stumbled back out of his grip before coming to her senses and running towards the door.

"Now Mon petit no need to run."

It seemed she was not to be getting away so easily as she was caught in the back by a leg locker curse and fell to the floor. Struggling Hermione tried to well her magic and push it towards her legs to shatter the spell so she could get free. Before she got the chance Lucius hauled her up and pushed her roughly against the wall, waking her head whip back. Groaning in pain as her head came in contact with the wall; she lifted her hand up to her head before bringing it up to her face. The last thing she saw before she lost consciousness was the dark blood covering her hand and Lucius' triumphant face.

AN:

Now what will happen to Hermione now that Lucius has her in his hands? Will anyone come to her rescue or will she wake in the arms of Lucius Malfoy. Will Remus or the girls notice Hermione's absence and come searching for her. Stay tuned for the next chapter to find out.
