Sorry I took so long. I've been writing The Lost Child and reading other stories. I've also had a bit of writers block. Anyway, I'll try to update quicker. I might even get another chapter up tonight.


Chapter Six

Kidnapped

Three weeks had passed and Hermione had slipped back into her usual routine, ignoring the looks she would sometimes get from her Professors who knew her secret. Hermione would also meet up with Remus and Sirius every other night, claiming a study date to the boys and Ginny. She couldn't be happier.

Yet, she also couldn't shake the feeling something momentous was going to happen. Ignoring her feelings, Hermione happily accompanied the Boys and Ginny on the Hogsmede trip.

The fresh air swirled around Hermione and she took a deep breath of it. She looked at the village and sighed. It had changed a lot during the years that she attended Hogwarts, expanding and shops passing through a lot. She even remembered when the shrieking Shack was first built. In fact, it was built by Helga for Hermione when she needed to get away.

Hermione had used for many years, until one of the teachers had discovered the passage and the way to get past the tree. Since then it had been used for Student Werewolves, like Remus, or for students who discovered it to have some 'alone' time.

With another sigh, Hermione followed her friends deeper into the village. Harry, Ron and Ginny her discussing a new broom shop that had opened up and all three were eager to have a look at it. "Can we go to the book shop?" Hermione asked.

The three moaned. "But Hermione! Zonkos, The new broom shop, Honeydukes!" Ron whined. "You'll be in there forever! All trip!" He added, exaggerating. Hermione rolled her eyes. "Fine, go shop. I'll meet you in Honeydukes." She waved the three off. The two boys quickly pecked her cheek and Ginny declared she was the best friend ever before they ran off to find the newest shop. Shaking her head in amusement, Hermione headed off to the bookshop. But she never made it to the book store.

Draco Malfoy stood in the shadows with the other Deatheater students around him. He had never actually wanted to be a Deatheater, but was too afraid to go up against his father. So had taken the Mark and endured what was his worst nightmare.

He was jostled out of his thoughts as their target, one Hermione Granger, walked by with her friends. She sighed a couple of times before walking further into the village. The group of six students, including Flint, who was held back, Theodore Nott, Millicent Bullstrode, and two other reluctant Deatheaters, Pansy Parkinson and Blaise Zambini, moved with the four Gryffindors, watching them.

Hermione typically asked to go to the book shop and her friends protested. "But Hermione! Zonkos, The new broom shop, Honeydukes! You'll be in there forever! All trip!" Draco's lip curled in disgust as Ron whined and pleaded. Hermione allowed them to go and the six attacked.

Hermione screamed out as a hand grabbed her, but it was muffled as the same person covered her mouth. A silencing spell was put on her and the person let go. They cast a binding spell and stepped into view. Hermione glared into the cold, dark eyes of Marcus Flint. She spat at him and Flint slapped her.

"Filthy Mudblood." He snarled. Hermione turned her face back from where it had snapped to the side and glared at him again. She mouthed 'Inbred Pureblood' to him and two others Hermione recognized as Bullstrode and Nott had to hold him back from attacking her once again.

Hermione took in the other students while she had the chance and was surprised to see Blaise Zambini. He had always seemed so nice. Of course, Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson she had predicted, but not Blaise. Hermione's eyes narrowed in defiance and she lifted her chin up in pride. After all, she was Hermione Gryffindor and they couldn't kill her.

Nott began to circle her, taking notice of her figure. "My, my. It seems the little Mudblood has blossomed. If the Dark Lord allows us, I wouldn't mind a piece." He hissed, his eyes darkening in lust. Flint sneered at her, agreeing with Nott.

As Nott came to face her, he grabbed her chin and went to kiss her. Hermione brought up her knee and Nott fell back, clutching his private region. Hermione scowled and smirked a little.

Draco watched as Nott tried to kiss Hermione and she kneed him. It surprised him that she was still so calm and confident even though she bound, silenced and outnumbered. "Stun her." Flint hissed. "The Dark Lord is expecting us."

Bullstrode stunned Hermione and the Slytherins watched as she fell to the floor. "Malfoy, carry her. Let's go." Flint ordered, getting ready to apperate. Draco scooped Hermione into his arms and, catching Blaise and Pansy's eyes before he did so, apperated. Taking Hermione into the mouth of hell.


Please Read and Review. There, Draco's appeared in the story. This gives a bit of back story to him. Anyway, Next Chapter: Hermione meets Voldemort and he recognizes her.
