After a while Harry and I decided it was time to wake up Draco and figure out what to do. It would be a little easier now that we have Harry on our side. When we reach the living room Draco is still asleep on the couch but now he is thrashing about like he is having a horrific nightmare. "Draco....... Draco wake up! Wake up! It's just a dream wake up!" I say loudly. After a few rounds of this he finally wakes up with a startle. "Hermione!" He breathes as he hugs me.It is not until Harry clears his throat that Draco even realizes he is there. He jumps up in front of me protectively."Oh please calm down! I've been here for hours! Hermione and I have already worked things out! I've believed her the entire time." Harry states smartly."Oh well okay then." Is all Draco says. "So what's the plan?" "That's why we came to wake you up. So we could figure one out." I finally speak up.Well since most of our leads keep getting murdered on us we need to think someone connected to hermione. Who would do this to her? Any ideas Hermione?" Harry states since he is the crime expert."I've put thousands of people in Azkaban. It could be any death eater. It could even be someone I have never even met. Harry it could be anyone!" I say as I throw my hands up in frustration. "Well who had it out for you? Anyone in particular? Anyone even while we were in school?" Harry asks pressingly."Other that Draco no one comes to mind. Except Bellatrix but she is dead." I say "Bellatrix wouldn't play like this her torture is very similar to what happened in this very room." Harry scoffs. When he says that my scar on my arm hurts and I reach for it. Draco and Harry both notice this, "sorry Hermione." Harry apologizes. I just nod to Harry and he know I forgive him. "So what do we do?" Draco asksJust as he says that we hear another crack of apparation. "I'm ready to play again!" He says with a wicked smile.Harry and Draco already shouting curses at him while he blocks them easily. Before you know it Harry ad Draco are bound in ropes. While I have been searching for my wand and realize that I left it upstairs during Harry's and I reunion. The next thing I know I am on my back on the floor with this creature's hand around my neck. I am quickly losing air and before I know it I am gasping for air. With a flick of his wand Harry and Draco have disappeared and from the sounds of their screaming for me they are in the cellar. The man quickly takes his hand away just before I am about to pass out. And half drags and half carries me to one of the spare bedrooms down the hall. When we enter he throws me on the bed and binds my hands to the headboard. And mutters a spell that blurs your sight so all I can see is dark blurs. "Such beauty wasted on a mudblood. I can see why they called you Hogwarts golden girl. I am surprised however that Malfoy didn't make his move sooner." As he speaks/whispers he is running his hands over my stomach and legs. He continues touching me until I kick him. I then feel this force in my mouth as he shoves his tongue down my throat and I bite his tongue as hard as I can and taste his blood. He quickly pulls away. I take this chance to spit out his blood from my mouth. The next thing I know he has slapped me across the face. Followed by a punch in the face, and a knee in the stomach. He continues to alternate between these. Finally after what seems like forever he speaks,"well I'm so sorry we could not finish our little gathering today but I have somewhere I need to be but I have a parting gift for you! Crucio!" He screams the last word. No words could describe what I felt. But in between curses I could hear Harry and Draco screaming from the cellar. And it's then I realize they are probably screaming because they can hear my torturous screams! This is the second time they have had to sit defenselessly while listening to my agonizing screams.
