Not mine, making no money . Just hoping for some review's hint, hint.

After what could have only been half a minute I felt our feet touch down and I felt my legs start to give a little but the strong arms holding me didn't let me fall. The other's arrived directly there after filling what I could now see was a grand entrance hall of an incredible mansion. The sound of the

many voices bounced off the polished dark wood floor's making a terrible racket. The wall's were painted a pretty shade of aqua with gold trim. And were covered in wizarding portraits who were all jockeying for position to get a look at the new arrivals . It reminded me of going on tours of

Victorian era mansions with my mum and dad when I was little. Well excepting that those portraits didn't move that is to say. I felt myself being pulled away from the only reason I was still standing by the petite blonde woman I had seen earlier she would be the boy Max's mother. She was smiling though her eyes seemed kind and sympathetic.

" Come with me sweetheart! " She said and .I did as she ask. Dumbly allowing this stranger to lead me away like a good little puppy dog and before I knew it we were winding our way through hall ways twisting and turning and going up stairs. I was already lost. I would never be able to find my way out again if I had wanted to. Finally we stopped in front of one of the many very tall doors along one of the many long hall ways that we passed and I was ushered inside.

It was a large room, on the left were four dome topped windows that extended almost all the way floor to ceiling .to the front of me there was a very tall king size four poster with steps to get in. White satin hangings embroidered with a silver fleur de lis pattern and two night stand's The same

fabric was used for the window treatments both the bed and the windows also had another sheer white under curtain as well creating a very feminine look, the wall's were a antique white with silver trim and there were several pretty landscape paintings on the right wall and extending around

the room. The glossy dark wood floor was covered in two large white rug's with a simple pattern in muted colors there a was a very fancy looking desk and chair by the door probably an antique as well as a sizable book case. As for the remaining furnishings they're was a fainting couch and an ottoman and two wingback chairs with a small table between them placed about the room all upholstered in antique white. There were two other doors but they were closed.

" Come in! " She said pulling me inside and sitting down with me on the fainting couch. She wrapped her arm around me and said. " There, there " it will be alright ! You'll see. " The kind woman pressed a handkerchief into my hand and I wiped my eyes. we were not alone the Italian woman was there

tutting about the room muttering in Italian to Narcissa who kept shooting looks of worry my way. The boy Max was for lack of better term was haunting the doorway he looked pale and as scared as I was . Draco was to the right lounging against the wall trying for all the world to appear bored

and failing and Blaise had taken up a residence in one of the wingback chairs his face remaining neutral an unaffected.

As for me my chest felt like an enormous echoing canyon .The things my mother had said just kept repeating in my head. She said." Her daughter had disappeared and was replaced with a stranger." I'm not a stranger I'm still me ! Couldn't she tell I was the same? She's my mum! Mums are

supposed to love you no matter what ! There supposed to know you. They're the one's that tell you looks don't matter it's what's inside that count's . How could they only love the outside and not care about the inside. She blamed me for everything ! They said I could never go home and that it

was all my fault. I would readily take back the feeling of my heartbreaking now if it would make this hollow ache stop. The tears had stopped and it was as if I was petrified from the inside out like some horrible new curse I couldn't speak I just sat there like a fish out of water unable form words

much less make sound come out I couldn't do anything but stare into space and feel the pain where my heart used to be echoing just like the entrance hall down stairs.

A man enter the room. The one with chestnut brown hair. He shooed the boy's out of the room . Narcissa and the Italian woman leaving then as well. He then pulled something out of his pocket and enlarged, what I noted absently was my trunk at the end of the bed. The nice woman said

something about bed and then. I saw a house elf dive head first into my trunk and after a minute or so it came back out with my night gown and the little thing was grabbing me by my hand and was leading me through one of the door's on the right next to the fainting couch . It was a large

closet done in a deep pink though it was mostly empty save for a few boxes up high on the shelves and it had a three piece full length mirror to one side and one of those changing screen's with a long padded bench behind it to the other side. .Before I knew what was happening that little elf

had me well in hand and I was being fussed over my hair brushed and braided . She was chattering away fussing over me the whole time.

"I is being Pearl little miss " she was crooning to me in her high squeaky voice "and it is being my job to take care of you. You is being my charge little miss if you is needing anything you is just needing to call Pearl and I is coming right away. I is so happy little miss is finally home and I is able to take

care of miss like Pearl is supposed to. I is been waiting soooo long. Master and Mistress is being so happy to. They is crying for joy you is finally here little miss. " Before I knew it I was dressed in my nightgown and being lead back out into the bed room and Pearl was tucking me in." Goodnight

little miss remember ! If you is needing anything at all. You is just needing to call P e a r l ." She drew the name out as though I were dim witted but then I suppose I hadn't done much to impress her with regards to my intelligence. She seemed to be waiting for some kind of signal that I heard

her because she just kept looking at me with those huge hazel eyes and worrying the lacy tea towel that was her dress.

So I nodded my head a little and hoped that would do. It seemed to make her happy how ever and she was gone in a snap of her fingers. I lay there in the dark for a bit after she

left it was starting to sink in and I was beginning to panic. Where was I ? What was happening ? I need to get a letter to the Order this is getting out of hand.

Why did they bring me here ? Why didn't someone stop them from taking me ? I could feel my head clearing more and more by the

second . Though I suppose fear will do that to you and I jumped out of bed and ran to my trunk . After a few minute's of rummaging I found my new parchment a quill and some ink and furiously began writing.

Headmaster Dumbledore

Dear Headmaster I don't know if my mum and dad contacted you or told you what happened but everything has gone from bad to worse. I am not Hermione Granger ! When I went home my mum and dad told me that I wasn't there child ! I'm not even adopted I'm just there foster daughter ! One of the paper's I touched did something to me and now I look different. My dad yelling at me. He said I wasn't his daughter it was all a big mess he was scaring me and I didn't know what to do and I ran away. I don't know how it happened but I was a the Leaky Caldron and Malfoy and some other people where there then I got a letter from home but it was bad and now I'm some where else and I don't know where . I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Hermione

P. S. They don't know who I was before.

Oh and my new name is Abigale Loyce

Ok letter finished now how do I post it. I looked around noting that I had lost my wand. Fear was taking over . Where is it ? I jumped up and ran into the closet I found the clothes I had been wearing and searched the pockets. Nothing it was gone they must have taken it, but when. Well , I was

pretty out of it they could have taken it anytime really if I thought about it. Doe's this mean they know who I am ? Am a I a prisoner ? I have to get this letter to Dumbledore fast ! So I ran back out into the bedroom and made it to the door as quietly as possible and checked the door. It was

unlocked ok that's good . They didn't lock me in . I slipped out into the hall and began to make my way toward the left where I could see some light coming from under two door's When I got there I pressed my ear to the door and I heard voices so I slowly turned the knob and cracked the door

open after a minute or so I realized is was Draco Blaise and Max. They where talking about me.

Blaise was speaking ."Did you see her face ? I don't think I have ever seen anything like that before and that's including the time last year when that third year girl found out her family was dead by reading it in the Daily Prophet ." " Yeah I remember that said Draco. Pottie and Weasel were on

me all day about it. Asking me if I was happy and did it make my day. Calling me death eater scum !"

" Don't let them get to you mate there a couple no nothing blowhards ." Said Blaise.

" Yeah maybe so but I'd still like to hex there stupid noses off. "

" And then WHO would be in trouble ? " said Blaise

" Not if Snape got there fist !" Max chimed in

" Yeah but my luck I'd be Mcgonagall and I'd be stuck in detention for the rest of the year."

Blaise laughed." You do have the most rotten luck ."

" Sod off Blaise !" Which only made him laugh harder of coarse.

Seeing that I wasn't going to get anywhere with that door . I closed it quietly and preceded to the next door. Again placing my ear to it first . I heard nothing. So I quietly turned the knob and cracked the door open . Still nothing . So I risked peeking my head inside and found it was empty it was

clearly a boy's room all done in green and silver and there in the corner I couldn't believe my luck the boy had an owl. YES! Salvation , I carefully slipped into the room closing the door behind me without a sound. And started to creep toward the large bird who seemed to be eyeing my approach

with disapproval there was a door to the left connecting this room to the one next to it. The boy's where in there and the door was cracked open. I had to get passed it without being seen. So I moved slowly tiptoeing being very careful not to make a peep watching and listening for any sign that

I had been detected . They where still talking and it sounded like Draco was now chasing Blaise around and trying to hit him .I made it to the bird and tied the letter to it's leg and I ask it to take my letter to head Master Dumbledore and I opened the window as quietly as I could but it made a

squeak. The owl flew out but I was panicking I shut the window and hid behind the curtain. I tried not to move I was holding my breath.

" I thought I heard my window." I heard Max say. They were in the room with me now . No no no Go away, go away I thought to myself. No such luck they where sitting down on his bed. NO !

" So what do you guy's think is going happen ? " Max asked.

It was Draco that answered." Well first your parents are going to set her down and explain everything they will find out who she was before. We will find out what those muggles did to her . Then your dad and my dad will pay them a little visit . Then things will be normal. She will be your sister

and we will all go to school together you know like it should be." " Oh!" was all Max said.

From my hiding spot behind the curtain I couldn't believe what I was hearing. These people were my family. I was in a house of death eaters!

I have to get out of here ! They're going to kill me ! They're going to kill the Granger's! I have tell someone !

Finally after a few more minute's Blaise announced that they should probably go to bed. That it was likely going to be a long day tomorrow. Blaise and Draco headed back to the other room and Max hopped off his bed and went into the bathroom and shut the door. I seized my opportunity and

sprang from my hiding place and running for the door I slipped into the empty hall and bolted back to the white room. Closing the door and sagging against it. My breath's were coming fast and I was trying not to panic. I'm trapped. I can't handle this ! What do I do ? If I run and I get caught they

could lock me up. I can't let that happen, but I can't just sit here doing nothing either . I started to pace the room, maybe Dumbledore will get my letter and they will come back with a plan to get me out of here ? He'll know what to do. He always knows what to do. Really ?, Then why didn't you

contact him back in the Leaky Caldron when you had a chance, before all this happened. You idiot !, I yelled in my head . Because you where pouting and feeling sorry for yourself ! That's why ! I answered myself. I suppose all I can for now is wait.
