It had been about a week since she settled into her new position at hogwarts, she seemed to be doing pretty well all things considered. The students seemed to like her and the staff were all very kind to her, professor McGonagle was particularly welcoming to her as she remembered her from when she was a student years earlier. She would check in on her as she settled in making sure the students didn't cause her to much trouble. She now fully understood why everyone said McGonagle was like a mother to them all, her kindness genuinely helped her settle in and sage knew she would have been lost without her.

*she was sat in her classroom grading some papers, it was a friday so she was preparing to go home*

A few hufflepuff students came into the classroom looking a little concerned, one of the students spoke up, it was a small timid girl with beautiful brown hair,"professor do you have a moment?" *she looked up* "yes of course is everything alright?"

The girl explained a few slytherin boys had been picking on her and she felt she could trust sage to ask for advice, this warmed sages heart knowing she made her students feel safe enough to come to her with there problems, she gave the girl some genuine advice that seemed to make the girl feel better about the situation, the girls left shortly afterwards.

"Oh god i can't wait to go home im exhausted" she mumbles to herself, she put her papers in a bag and started to make her way out of the castle, she had to make her ways to hogsmead as the flu in the castle was down.

As she was walking she couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed, she would glance behind her every minute or so but couldn't see anybody, she assumed it was just her anxiety levels being high due to her pregnancy so she tried to brush it off.

She didn't know how much she was going to regret brushing it off until it was too late

                 *hours earlier*
L: hey love hows work when are you coming home?

S: its ok, i shouldn't be home to late probably around 8 ish ill let you know if anything changes ❤️

L: ah alright make sure your not overworking yourself to much

S: i know i know ill be safe

L: make sure your safe when you come home it can be dangerous out there.

S: yes yes i know stop worrying so much ill be fine

L: alright well ill let you get back to work ill see you later my dear

As she was walking out of the castle she stumbled upon McGonagle, "evening!" She said to her with a smile, "ah hello dear off home is it?" McGonagle spoke with her usual kind tone, "yes i am the flu is down so i need to walk down to hogsmead and head home from there". McGonagle nods, "alright do you want me to walk with you its not very safe out there at this hour". Sage shook her head "ill be alright dont worry" she said with a smile before she left to make her way home

              *back to present time*
That feeling of unease was growing in her gut she decided to take out her phone and call home to calm her nerves a little bit, she stops for a moment to get her phone out but as she got her phone out she felt something hit her hard on the back of her head, then it all went dark.

Hours passed by and lucius was at home waiting for her, when she was an hour late he began to worry but kept trying to tell himself she just got held up at work surly nothing had happened to her surely she was safe and would be home soon.

When another hour had passed he felt genuinely worried so he began to call her to check in see if she was alright, the phone rang but there was no answer. Little did he know her phone sat on the small dirt path between Hogwarts and Hogsmead ringing with her wand and bag laying next to it, her things were there but she was not.

Her phone continued to ring but she wasn't there to awnser with each ring with each time it rang out and went to voicemail his worry grew, he was worried for her of course but also for there unborn child.

       *sage awoke feeling a sharp pain in her head, she tried to move but it seemed her hands were bound with some sort of rope, she looked around and saw the windows were all boarded up with wood the building she was in was old and dusty, the realisation that she had been kidnapped hit her like a ton of bricks*

"Fuck sake why dose this shit always happen to me"

*she instinctively put her hands protectively on her stomach sure it wasnt much use because they were tied together but the sentiment was still there, she tried to sit up and found that her ankles were also bound together with the same type of rope, she tried to feel around her pockets for her phone but to no avail she didn't have it*

"Shit shit shit what the fuck do i do now...i dont even have my wand..."

  *she head the lock on the door click and creek as it slowly opens*
