Draco was practically floating to the common room. He could still Hermione's lips pressed against his own. What a feeling. His thoughts wandered to what she had said to him. 'Purely mudblood,' he thought. 'That ought to be the name of a book.' Draco then thought of possible plots for such a book. '"Once evil teenager gets the sassy, smart brunette while her ginger ex-boyfriend sulks in the background." Yes, that will do.'
Draco tried to refrain from skipping like a little girl as he roamed through the corridors. He eventually wandered along the entrance to the Slytherin common room. Draco noted it to be extremely ajar, and from what he could see on the inside, the room was in shreds. Draco's urge to skip had suddenly disappeared and been replaced with a huge knot in his stomach. 'Cammie's supposed to be in there,' was all he could think.
Draco crept towards the door, slowly, hesitantly. Very quietly, he touched the door, not daring to breathe, and pried it open. Then hinges squealed for oil. The air in Draco's lungs clung to his throat as he peered inside.
The room was in turmoil. The chairs were overturned. Portraits were knocked to the ground, some even with holes punched in the canvas; all were abandoned, for the living people in them had most likely scurried off to other paintings. The tables all had suffered from broken legs or tops. The room was completely abandoned; no sign of Cammie. Then Draco noticed something on the ground.
A shred of a cuffed sleeve, just the tip. It was the same material and style that the girls at Hogwarts wore. Now, that in itself could belong to anyone. But next to the sleeve lay several strands of shoulder length, light brown hair. And alongside those laid a chipped tooth, like the one that was next to the gap in Cammie's teeth. And, spattered all over the evidence before Draco like the icing on a macabre cake, there was scarlet, a very, very deep scarlet, and long dried splotches of blood.
A cold, hard lump formed in Draco's throat because his suspicion had been confirmed.
Cammie was in danger.
