A/N: As ever for Mamacita who put the punctuation back in my story and also to everyone who is reading the story. It really means a lot to me. Thank you!
Avanell — I think she might be in shock, although Hermione’s a sensible girl. Yes, well, Draco will have to know eventually won’t he? *LOL*
Voracious Reader — Gawd imagine Molly on the warpath — anyone with half a brain would be scared of her! Well, I’m sure that even the dim twosome will have realised she’s gone missing by now!
Ginnylovesharry07 — I’d go with the shock, although as I said she’s rather too sensible for her own good sometimes. But the refusal to let her go back to school really isn’t going down well.
Werewolfhime — Glad you’re happy that Lucius came back — I’m sure he’s got everything firmly under control . . . or maybe he’ll just keep her locked up till she gives in!
Wudelfin — Ah, yes I see your point, but she’s built an intensely loving relationship with Simon and really he’s just Lucius and she can see that, whether she likes it or not. I admit you got me with Snape, but I guess he thought his word with Lucius would be enough to put an end to the matter.
Hilda Malfoy — Yep, calm now, that’s the shock, but I think there’ll be plenty of tears before bedtime.
Meankitty69 — That was exactly the sort of feeling I was trying to represent. That’s why Hermione didn’t cry or scream much, it was all too much for her to comprehend. I think she’d have cried and screamed plenty once she’d had a chance to let it settle in.
VampireSeductress — Love the name! Thank you for your review and welcome to my little world. The wait is over . . . for this chapter at least.
Heidi191976 & Catysmom — Thanks for the reviews. Here’s the next chapter . . . .

Harry and Ron had returned to the school with a large bag of fudge for Hermione, knowing that with her odd cravings she would probably get through it pretty quickly. They were surprised that she wasn’t in the common room nor was she in the Library, and more worrying still was that no one seemed to have seen her although most people had gone to Hogsmeade that day and she had stayed behind.
Ron was immediately suspicious.
‘I bet he’s done something with her,’ he said agitatedly.
‘Who?’ Harry asked.
‘Polyjuice Guy. He’s waited till we weren’t around to look after her and then grabbed her.’ Ron looked distraught. ‘Harry, what if something’s happened to her, or to the baby? Gods, he could have hurt her to get rid of the child.’
Harry, too, was worried. They had checked all the places they could think of that Hermione was likely to be and no one had seen her. In fact, no one had seen her since she had left the Great Hall after breakfast.
‘Snape!’ Harry announced. ‘Let’s go and see Snape.’
Ron looked at him avidly. ‘I always thought there was something about him. I told you it was unnatural the way he was being friendly to Hermione.’
Harry shook his head. ‘Snape’s not Polyjuice Guy,’ he said. ‘Hermione didn’t think so, but she did confide in him a lot. If anyone might know where she is it’ll be him. You know he knows everything that goes on around here.’
The two of them headed to the dungeons, where they found the Potions Master in his study. They hung around outside for a few minutes, plucking up the courage to go in. Even after all these years, neither of them liked being any closer to snarky Snape than they had to.
‘Why are the two of you loitering outside my office?’ a dark voice asked coldly. ‘Either come in and state the purpose of your visit or go back to your common room.’
Harry and Ron stepped through the door, staring at each other in amazement. The bloke really could see everything.
Snape studied Potter and Weasley, both of whom looked worried — more worried than they should be even if they had been lurking for no good reason. It had to be something to do with Hermione.
‘What’s the matter?’ he asked, his voice losing its usual coldness. They were already anxious enough without him making things worse.
‘Hermione’s missing,’ Ron blurted out. ‘We’ve looked everywhere but we can’t find her.’
Snape looked grave. He motioned the boys to sit. ‘Now explain to me properly,’ he said.
Ron sighed in exasperation. Hadn’t he just told the man?
Sensing his friends’ temper was about to explode, Harry took over. ‘We came back from Hogsmeade. Hermione didn’t go because she said she couldn’t walk fast enough, it would take her all day to get there. But she asked us to get her some fudge from Honeyduke’s.’ He looked down at the bag that was still in his hand.
‘We got back and went to the common room, expecting her to be there, but she wasn’t. We got Parvati to check her room in case she had gone for a lie-down, but she wasn’t there either. So, of course, we headed for the Library, knowing she was probably in there.
‘But she wasn’t, and Madam Pince said she hadn’t seen her all day. So we’ve searched everywhere we can think of and she’s not anywhere and no one’s seen her since breakfast.’
Snape sighed. He was sure he knew where Hermione was, but he couldn’t tell the boys. And if he was wrong the consequences could be serious, especially in her condition. He stood up.
‘Mr Potter, Mr Weasley, please return to your common room immediately. I will go to see the Headmaster now and explain the situation so that a search can be organised. Please stay in the common room in case the Headmaster or Professor McGonagall need to speak to you further.’
The two boys nodded and headed for the door, Snape following along directly. At the Entrance Hall they parted company, he to head for the Headmaster’s office and the boys back to Gryffindor Tower.

‘Is there a problem, Severus?’ Dumbledore asked, seeing Snape’s troubled expression.
‘Yes, Albus. Hermione Granger has gone missing and I’m afraid it may be my fault.’
Dumbledore waved his teacher into the chair opposite him and looked at him interestedly, his blue eyes missing their usual sparkle.
‘Why do you think it might be your fault, Severus?’
‘Because I discovered the identity of the person who used the Polyjuice potion and didn’t do anything about it.’ Snape looked regretful.
Dumbledore was surprised at this news. ‘You did? How did you manage that?’
‘The culprit came to see me and confessed,’ Snape replied. ‘I informed him that it had to stop immediately. I had assumed he’d done so, but obviously, I pushed him into doing something more desperate instead.’
‘It had to stop? I thought that Miss Granger had only had one encounter.’
Snape shook his head. ‘No. He is very much obsessed with Miss Granger. He had intended to continue the relationship under the guise of Weasley but when that failed he used the Polyjuice potion to assume a new identity. He befriended Miss Granger while she was in the midst of her arguments with her friends and began a secret relationship with her. She was completely unaware that he was the father of her baby and just believed him to be her boyfriend, merely another student. As I said, when he confessed to me I did tell him that he had to break off the relationship and leave her alone, but I obviously pushed him into something more rash.’
‘Will you tell me the identity of Hermione’s lover?’ Dumbledore asked gently. ‘Is it another of the students?’
Snape sighed again and shook his head. ‘It’s Lucius Malfoy,’ he told the shocked Headmaster. ‘He used an Invisibility Cloak to get into the school without being seen. For the last five or six months he’s been pretending to be a student called Simon Caldwell, a Hufflepuff. I expect a few people will have remembered seeing him around the school. Of course, Hermione had no idea, and I didn’t say anything to her as I thought knowing the identity might prove to be more distressing for her than not knowing.’
Dumbledore nodded his agreement. ‘And when did Lucius come to see you?’
‘Not long ago, a few days maybe. I had meant to tell you about it, but to be honest, it slipped my mind. And I hadn’t thought Lucius so stupid. Although, of course, he is completely obsessed. He’s convinced he’s in love with Miss Granger and he intends to marry her. He’s already started divorce proceedings with Narcissa.’
Snape looked at the Headmaster. ‘I’m sorry, Albus, I should have told you. This is all my fault.’
The Headmaster regarded Snape kindly. ‘And you think he’s taken her to Malfoy Manor?’
Snape nodded. ‘It seems like the logical place. I’ll go there now and check. Although if he is holding her I don’t believe for one minute he’ll let her go. But you need to organise a search of the castle and grounds just in case he didn’t do it and something else has happened to her. And to show her friends that something’s being done, of course. Potter and Weasley have said they’ve already searched every place they can think of, so maybe you’d like to talk to them first?’
‘Of course,’ Dumbledore agreed. ‘I’ll get straight onto it. Please report back as soon as you can, Severus.’
Snape inclined his head and stood, heading quickly for the door. He needed to satisfy himself that the girl was safe. He didn’t think he could stand the guilt of any more deaths on his conscience.

Lucius was visiting Hermione when his house-elf, Edlyn appeared, wringing her hands nervously.
‘Master has a visitor. Professor Severus Snape is here and is wanting to see you and Miss Hermione.’
Hermione’s heart pounded faster. They had missed her, and Snape had come to take her back to Hogwarts.
‘Show him to the library, Edlyn. I’ll come and see him in a minute.’
With a nod, the house-elf disappeared with a pop. Hermione looked disappointed. She wasn’t even going to have a chance to see the teacher.
‘Lucius, please, I’d like to see Professor Snape,’ she said pleadingly.
Lucius thought for a second, then clicked his fingers. Edlyn reappeared.
‘Edlyn, I’ve changed my mind. Please send Severus up here.’
Once again the house-elf disappeared with a pop.
A few minutes later the door opened and the house-elf announced, ‘Professor Severus Snape to see Master Lucius and Miss Hermione.’
Lucius walked towards his friend and took his hand to shake it, a big smile on his face. ‘Severus, my friend, what a surprise and a pleasure.’
Snape scowled. ‘What have you done, Lucius?’ he asked curtly. ‘I told you to leave her alone, not to abduct her.’
Lucius shrugged, his smile never faltering. ‘I didn’t have much choice. You told me to break off my relationship with her and I couldn’t do that. And then those bloody Weasleys started making plans to take her away from me, so what could I do? Hermione’s mine. I’m not giving her up.’
Hermione listened in amazement to the conversation between the two friends. Snape had known Lucius was her attacker — how long had he known? And what was this about him telling Lucius to break off the relationship? He must have known Lucius was Simon, too. And yet he had never said anything to anybody, never warned anyone that she was in danger.
But was she really in danger? After all, Lucius had been nothing but the perfect gentleman since she had arrived at the Manor. But before, when he had tied her up, she could have been in danger then.
Yes, but you wanted it, her inner voice told her. You could have said no to being tied up but you didn’t. That would have been dangerous regardless of whom you did it with. It would have been dangerous with Ron and Harry.
Snape was looking at her now.
‘Have you come to take me back to school, Professor?’ Hermione asked hopefully.
Lucius looked at her too. ‘I’ve told you you’re not going back to school,’ he said sharply. ‘I’m sorry, Severus, but I’m keeping her here.’
Snape looked as if he was about to say something but didn’t.
‘But I’m missing so much,’ Hermione said in distress. ‘How am I supposed to pass my exams? You are going to let me sit my exams?’ She glared at Lucius.
He looked uncomfortable. ‘You’re not going back to school and that’s final,’ he stated.
‘You can’t hold me here!’ Hermione cried. ‘That’s abduction.’
‘Oh, can’t I?’ Lucius replied belligerently. ‘Just watch me.’
‘I’m sorry, Severus, but your presence is upsetting my beloved. I’ll have to ask you to leave.’ He took Snape’s arm and led him to the door.
‘Please don’t go, Professor,’ Hermione cried. ‘Please, take me with you!’ But her cries fell on deaf ears.
Snape desperately wished he could help but he knew he would never get Hermione out of Malfoy Manor without Lucius’ consent, and if he tried all of them could end up injured or dead, including Hermione’s baby. He had no choice but to leave her.
‘Lucius, you need to consider what you’re doing,’ he appealed to his friend once they reached the front door. ‘You know you need to send her back to school.’
Lucius shook his head. ‘Not yet. I can’t send her back. Things aren’t sorted yet.’
Snape sighed. ‘But Hermione’s schoolwork and exams . . . .’
‘You know as well as I do, Severus, that Hermione is going to walk her exams even without these last few weeks of study. The girl is brilliant. If you want to send her school work so she can revise, then you can.’
‘She needs to come back to school, Lucius. Her friends are worried about her.’
‘Well, they can worry a bit longer. I’ll return her when we’ve sorted things out. She’ll be back for her exams.’
Snape knew he wasn’t get anything better from Lucius. He turned to go. ‘I’ll have some work sent over for her. You know she’ll get fretful if she isn’t doing it.’
Lucius nodded and watched as Snape left the house.
