Forever

Chapter Nineteen Astoria and Blaise

Draco's Point of View
_______________

        "I'm home, I came home early from school, I wasn't feeling very well." That was when a blindfold covered my eyes and a bat hit the top of my head. I woke up in a strange place. "Where am I?" I wondered aloud. "Hello Draco. So nice to see you." A high voice trilled. "Astoria, I wish I could say the same." "Yes, well we've not talked since you started seeing that mudblood." "Her blood is not any dirtier than yours." "What are you saying, you think I'm a mudblood." "No I think your filthy." I respond nastily. I try to sit up but I'm chained to the wall. "So this is how you treat your pets, you lock them to the wall." "It doesn't matter, anyway. Your wife will be here at midnight to make a trade, her deepest secret for you." "No." I gasp, she couldn't give that up. "Hermione, won't do it, she doesn't love me that much. It's an act, she and I are only working together because we want to join you, she's not in love with me she hates me but she hates her so called friends even more." I spin the first lie that comes to mind. "Nice try, I would've believed you if I hadn't seen her sobbing when she got Blaise's note" "No." I say. "She's not acting, I'm not that stupid." "She can't tell you that secret." "What if I gave you money?" "I'm not the one who wants her secret you'll have to talk to Blaise." "Talk to me about what?" Blaise asks. "Ask if I could give you money for my release." "No your wife has something I want." "She still has that, damn it I told her to get rid of that ages ago." "We know, but she didn't listen she thought it was too important." Blaise says. "Send me home, I'll bring it back, one of you can come with me to get it." "No she'll bring it to us." I sighed defeated and opened a mind link with Hermione, pretending to have fallen asleep. Hermione, I'm fine, they won't hurt me because I'm the only leverage they have, don't give them what they want. I wait and she responds I have to, they'll kill you. Hermione, I think gently, they won't because the only way you'll give them what they want is if you get me away safely. You and the others can infiltrate they're base again. Or I'll escape. You can't give them you're secret. I can feel Hermione's rage, I have lost so much to them, including you. TWICE. I won't tell them they just have to think I will, I'm going to have the ministry apparate in behind me, Blaise and them will be captured, and kissed. We'll be freed. I send over my despair, If that doesn't work... She cuts me off, it will work, now be ready at midnight, two hours from now. I send my love with my message, Okay, I love you, be careful. She answers, I love you, I will put an end to this tonight. I don't bother to answer her because she knows what I'll say. She carefully closes the link and I open my eyes, Blaise and Astoria are gone.
