Chapter Seventeen

Five Days Later

The air was damp and smelt of stone and copper. Hermione strained against the rusted shackles, feeling tiny slivers of metal pierce her wrists and ankles. She released a quivering breath, straightening her sore back against the wall of her cell. It had been a long journey to Voldemort’s layer in Japan, long and consuming. But not once had she anticipated the Death Eater contingent that ambushed them at the gates.

I’ll come for you, Draco had promised her, struggling as they dragged them apart. Do as they say and I’ll come for you.

The conviction in his voice was all that sustained her. It worried Hermione to think about it, but she knew he would stay true to his word…no matter the consequences.

“Miss Granger,”

The young woman glanced up and through the bars of her cell. “…Yes?”

A silhouette appeared, surrounded by the glow of a torch. It was the first trace of light she had seen in two days. “Miss Granger,” repeated the voice, distinctly male. “My name is Sasuke and I have come to prepare you for dinner.”

“What dinner?” she asked, a little blunt.

Sasuke took a few steps closer, holding the torch in front of him to reveal a plain yet handsome face and a set of thick black Death Eater robes that juxtaposed his calm and soothing voice entirely. “His Lord has extended an invitation to the table,” explained the man, quite senior compared to the other Death Eaters she had seen. “I will escort you to the bath and then to your new bedchambers, where you will find a garment specially chosen for this evening.”

Hermione arched an eyebrow. She had no idea what was going on. First she was Voldemort’s prisoner and now his dinner guest? It was ludicrous. “Do I have a choice in the matter?”

“No,” Sasuke answered diligently. “Come with me, Miss Granger.”

Hermione decided Sasuke looked more like a monk than a Death Eater in his robes – and that she quite liked him. He was polite, a little unnerving yet polite, and reminded her of her former Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts. All of which felt like a lifetime ago.

The bath had been nice. She could have spent all night in the pool of warm, lavender-scented water, but, alas, there was a dinner to attend. She dared not think of what awaited her at the table – perhaps some Death Eaters…maybe a Muggle or two to torture. It was all very unsettling.

That’s when it occurred to her.

She instantly thought of Draco as Sasuke led her through the darkened corridors of Voldemort’s layer. It appeared to be an old fortress of some sort, magically restored and covered in Pureblood paraphernalia. It was a bigot’s wet dream. If only, hoped the girl, dreaming of the fair-haired wizard she had grown to care for. He had transitioned from all she had to all she wanted in no time at all. Nothing else mattered. Even the slightest chance of seeing him at dinner made her stomach do flips and her heart race.

“Are the dress robes a proper fit?” asked Sasuke.

Hermione nodded, realizing he couldn’t see her from behind. “Yes.” In truth, they reminded her of something Pansy Parkinson would wear, but it was better than staying in her own dirty clothes. The dress robes were black, made of silk and quite form fitting, accentuating curves she didn’t know existed and falling to the floor at a perfect length.

“His Lord chose them for you,” explained her guide. “It would do you well to thank him for his generosity.”

She narrowed her eyes, feeling herself grow less fond of Sasuke before realizing he was helping her. “I’ll do just that,” Hermione said, feeling her breath cut short as they stopped near a seat of large double doors.

“We have arrived. His Lord will join you shortly. I believe he’s in a meeting.”

The young woman didn’t know whether to thank Sasuke for the clarification or not, so she settled for a polite nod.

He held open the doors for her, giving her an unreadable look before turning away and assuming his position by the other Death Eaters inside the dining room. There was a long rectangular table with a fine spread of both English and Japanese cuisine. It was an odd mix, but she fancied both. Don’t eat anything, she told herself. It’s all poison.

And as Hermione glanced around at the empty chairs surrounding the table, she felt her heart drop to her knees. Draco wasn’t there. In fact, there were only two table settings and she had a feeling she knew who the other one was for.

The door opened again.
