Hermione and Draco had been walking for hours now when Hermione finally decided to break the terrible silence. “You know, I feel really bad for just leaving Ginny like that. I mean what if she really needs us or something and we won't be there for her.”

Draco looked at her awkwardly and then he replied, “Hermione, she'll be fine, you just worry too much. Trust me. Everything will work out for her.”

Draco could see the doubt in Hermione's face so he continued, “She's got plenty of food and a place to sleep. She said that she understood and could find the things that she would need. Bloody hell Hermione, you even transfigured stuff into clothes for her so that she would be clean.”

Hermione sighed and decided to drop it because there was no way that they were going back and she was pretty sure that Draco didn't actually give a crap what happened to Ginny while they were gone.

He was probably just trying to shut her up so that he wouldn't have to talk about a Weasley anymore. 'Trust me, he says.'

She was thinking to herself now about the words that she didn't have a clue what to do with. 'Trust me. What if I don't, then what? What if I trust you too much?'

Hermione continued to think to herself for many hours. They both walked for most of the day, some parts that they walked through were more of forest areas and some were more like desert. It didn't really make sense but she didn't really care much to think about it.

Draco was right about one thing, he definitely seemed to know where they were going, neither of them understood this fact but they both knew that they should probably go anyway.

She kept thinking about his words until her thoughts were interrupted by Draco's voice. “Hermione look.”

He pointed at a broken down house in front of them. It was a big house that looked as if it was beautiful somewhere at an earlier time. Some of the windows were boarded while others were left the way they were, broken and shades hanging raggedly out of the broken glass.

The house was very dark now but she could tell that there was a lighter color underneath the darkness, she had no idea what the color was but she was sure that it was much nicer to look at.

Hermione stood there gasping while Draco slowly walked forward to check out the perimeter. He couldn't figure out why he was there or how he knew the way, but he knew that this was a very important place to be right now.

“Draco, my son.”

Draco spun around and saw his father with a firm grip on Hermione and with one hand wrapped firmly across her mouth. “Wonderful job son, well done.”

Draco could see Hermione's face wrinkle into questioning and he could feel his own frown up with his own. “What are you talking about, what job?”

Lucius frowned a little more than usual and glanced down and Hermione, his face became distorted in disgust. “It must not have worn off yet, its okay Draco, we'll help you remember.”

He pointed his wand at Draco and as he did Draco fell to the ground with his hands on his head. The pain was the most intense thing that he had ever felt, he started screaming in agony. While he was lying there in pain as his father started to pull Hermione towards the familiar house.

She started screaming and tried to get to Draco but it was beyond impossible to get away and actually be able to do anything at this moment, especially when her wand had been taken away, so finally she quit trying to get away and she started to cry for Draco and how helpless she felt as she glanced one last look at him.

When they entered the house Hermione couldn't believe how disgusting it looked. She expected it to be nice like the Malfoy Manor must be. The walls were so dark that she might have run into them by accident. She could hardly see anything as she was being dragged down dark hallways and through more rooms.

The rooms all looked alike except for the different pictures of Draco that were scattered on some of the walls. Hermione discovered that this house was probably owned by Draco's father and that Draco had probably been right about the Death Eater meetings being here.

Hermione glanced around at the pictures very quickly as she was pulled through the rooms and noticed that there wasn't a single one of him smiling in the whole house, she wondered why at first and then she started to worry for herself. 'What are they going to do to me?' She thought.

She was yanked down a flight of stairs that she nearly fell down because she was being pulled so quickly now. They entered another dark hallway and she could just barely make out bodies lying in what looked like prison cells. She could hear some of them breathing, some of them were crying and some, well she didn't want to think about it. Finally a boy with dark hair came running up to the bars of his cell and he was screaming Hermione's name though tears. “Hermione, Hermione, What happened? Why are you here?”

“Shut up you wailing brat!”

Hermione couldn't believe it, it was Draco's voice but... How could this happen?

What happened to the Draco the she's been with all this time, the Draco that she had slept with in the Gryffindor common room. She didn't understand how this could be the same person.

“So Hermione, we finally caught you. So sorry but your time is just about up. You see it's a long story really but I'm sure you'll have enough time to listen once we have you where we want you.”

Hermione couldn't believe it, she was in shock. How did this happen? How could she be so stupid and how could she have let him hurt her like this? They brought her into a dark room with a few candles lit for seeing purposes. The room was completely empty except for a little chair in the middle of the room.

They pushed her onto the little chair and started to tie her to it. They strapped down her arms with chains that they summoned. Her legs were tied to the legs of the chair. They even went as far as trying to tie a rag around her head to cover her mouth to keep her quiet, since she was crying so much over everything that just happened in the past five minutes.

As Lucius went to wrap the rag over her mouth, Hermione bit his hand as hard as she could manage. Lucius had to fight a little to remove his injured hand, which was starting to bleed badly.

The wound caused him to drop the rag but it also caused him to smack Hermione across the face as hard as he could manage without taking her head off.

Hermione's head was facing over her shoulder with her curls spread across her red cheek bone. Her mouth was slightly open as if to cry in pain but instead she did the opposite.

Hermione closed her mouth tightly and didn't cry another tear. She didn't want to give him the pleasure of seeing her cry out in pain. Lucius who was losing more blood by the second finally stormed out of the room letting out curse words that Hermione had never even heard.

Hermione slowly pulled her head up and noticed that Draco was still in the room with her. He was standing in front of her now, he wasn't moving a muscle.

Hermione didn't dare look up at him; she didn't think that she could keep from crying anymore if she saw his face.

Finally he quickly left the room and she hung her head in silence. She let one tear fall down her bruising cheek as she thought about everything that had happened since the Hogwarts Express crashed and everyone disappeared.

She sat in the room by herself for what seemed like many hours before someone entered the room and summoned a chair to sit on. She didn't even look up to see who it was, she guessed all on her own.

It was like she had grown so accustomed to the sound of his walking in the time that they spent together that she knew right away who it was.

Draco stared at her for a long time before he finally started to talk. “So, did you really think that I loved you?”

She sat there in complete silence and didn't move a muscle or show any sign that she was listening, she wasn't even crying anymore which only slightly surprised him.

“Like I said, it is a long story but I'll make it short to save precious time, I do have things to do you know.”

Draco stopped for a very short moment to read Hermione but didn't understand how she was having no reaction to him being there. He figured it must be the Gryffindor in her but he knew all too well that it was just Hermione being Hermione.

“My father and some of his goons put a spell on me to forget everything that I was doing for them, the spell was also supposed to make me fall in love with you... or at least make an illusion that I was.”

He stopped again to see if she would say anything about this but she continued to stay still in silence. So he started again.

“The plan was for me to lure you here without even knowing what I was doing. It turns out that all those little headaches were some painful reminders of what I was supposed to be doing. They kept me close to you so that you would follow me here. You were actually wrong about something, it wasn't the teachers. I guess there's a first time for everything huh.”

He sighed and started talking a little faster. “It's kind of funny really, why we did this to you and everyone else. Or at least I think it's a bit funny, but then again who would have thought this after everything that has happened at Hogwarts.”

Draco smirked a little for a short moment and then his expression went back to the unreadable one he had just before it. “You see, your stupid friend Potter isn't the all powerful wizard that's supposed to kill The Lord after all... you are.”

Hermione let out a deep sigh, almost a grunt and finally looked up then quickly looked away from Draco's face. She was looking out the door of the dark room wanting so bad just to run away.

“That doesn't even make since, if you're going to lie you should do it better.” Hermione's face was still emotionless and her cheek bone was now visibly swollen and very bruised.

“Listen to me; you're supposed to kill him.” Draco said in almost a whisper.

When Hermione didn't respond he got upset and started talking much louder.

“That's why they wanted you here, don't you understand. They're going to kill you Hermione!”

Hermione looked up at Draco, “I know they will… But I don’t believe any other word that you say.”

“Damn it Hermione! You have to get out of here.” He rushed to her and started to untie her.

Hermione quickly stood out of the chair. She started rubbing her wrists to ease the pain away.

“Why would you help me?”

“Because he loves you of course.” Lucius said as he pulled out his wand.

He flicked his wand and Hermione flew hard into a wall.

Draco stood his ground, he searched for his wand but unfortunately it was gone.

“You don’t really think that we couldn’t see through your acting… did you?”

Lucius smirked at his son. Death Eaters rushed into the room with another chair.

They tied Draco down like they did Hermione earlier. They moved towards Hermione but Lucius motioned them away.

“I’ll take care of this one. You’re all dismissed.”

He pulled Hermione up off the ground and sat her on the chair. He quickly tied her down and finally finished with a laugh in Draco’s direction.

Draco sat in silence for half an hour before Hermione finally woke up. She tugged at the rope for a moment as she woke. She leaned up and moaned to herself.

She sat her head back against the chair with a terrified look on her face.

“Hermione, you’re okay. Look at me.”

Hermione turned her head slowly to face him. She was surprised to see that he was tied up just like she was. She began to panic.

“No, this isn’t right. What did you do? You should’ve just left me alone.”

She let her head drop and let a loud sob come from her lips. She could deal with the fact that she was going to die, it was terrible but she would deal. She would be strong.

“No!” She sobbed aloud again.

‘This can’t be happening, not Draco. He has to be okay. I love him too much to sit here and watch him hurting.’

“Hermione, please look at me.”

She took in a deep breath then looked him in the eye.

“Hermione, you’re going to be alright. I promise.”

“What?!” She shook her head in protest.

“I don’t care. I want you to be safe. Draco, I love you.”

He was surprised to hear the words come out of her mouth but he of course felt the same way.

Lucius finally came back into the room. He let out another small laugh.

“Draco… did you really think that this little Bitch could defeat our Lord? She’s nothing. We didn’t tell you our full plan because we knew you were weak… just like your mother.”

Draco’s face contorted in shock but he said nothing.

Lucius leant forward to look Hermione in the face, “I can’t wait for you to see what we have in store for you.”

Lucius smirked at her but was shocked when she spit in his face.

He pulled out his wand and pointed it at his face. When the spit was gone, he looked very angry.

He turned on his heal and walked out of the dark room.
