Hermione immediately noticed the eerie silence in the house. Scorpius wouldn't be able to stay quiet for so long. A peep into the living room brought shock to her face. Astoria had taped Scorpius' mouth and was binding him to a chair.
Hermione's motherly instinct kicked in and she stalked to Astoria, wand outstretched. "How did you get into my house?" she demanded.
Astoria smiled angelical. "Hon, I wouldn't call this a house. It's more of a grotto than a house don't you think? And as for the getting in part, Polyjuice Potion is oh so hard to make yet it's oh so easy to deceive anyone."
"What do you want, Astoria?"
Her face turned cold. "What do I want?!" she shrieked. "All I wanted was to have a quiet night with Draco but no he decides that he wants to spend the evening with his heir and mudblood. So let's cut to the chase. I'm going to take little Scorpius here and I'll erase all memories of you."
"You can't do that! He's my son, not some…toy."
Astoria was now panting heavily, her wand jutted into Hermione throat. Hermione groped around for her wand then remembered dismally that she had left it on the kitchen bench.
"I can do whatever I want. You know why? Because I am the fiancée of the most influential person in the world and there's nothing, nothing you can do about it."
Ropes erupted from Astoria's wand and began to coil around Hermione's neck. Scorpius whimpered through the tape, causing the ropes to momentarily stop.
"Shut up you stupid child!" she shouted, clearly enraged. "Let's see how you feel after seeing your mother tortured and dead before your very eyes. Crucio!"
