Just Go For It

Chapter 44

Draco kept staring where Hermione and the wizard last stood. He didn't understand why the wizard had tortured Hermione and took her away. He and Hermione had broken up. So they shouldn't be trying to hurt her or kill her now. Draco then thought of something. He told Hermione about his dreams! Even though they broke up he still told her. They didn't tell him to not tell her but he should of known that. He was one of the smartest wizards in the school. He should of managed to work that out. He needed to tell some one he had no idea where the wizard would of gone with Hermione. He and Hermione may have broken up but she still meant everything to him.

It was strange he felt this way about her. They had only been dating for around more then a week. So why was he feeling this way. Yes he knew she was more beautiful then any other girl he had met. Hermione was smart and beautiful. She was perfect for him. So if anything happened to her he would hate it he would want to hurt the person who did it to her.

Draco really needed to tell someone but who?

The wizard dragged Hermione across the lawn to a large house. The house looked rickety and had an appearance of an haunted house. It had a black door with scratch marks all over it. The house looked like it was about to fall over. The house went up 3 floors and Hermione could see a flap where you could climb into the basement on the floor covered in leaves. The wizard dragged Hermione into the house no matter how much she was struggling. When they entered the hallway Hermione saw cobwebs everywhere and a staircase missing some stairs. The wizard pulled Hermione into what she thought must of been the living room.

"I've got her." The wizard said deeply.

"Good." A voice responded. Hermione looked around to see where it was coming from and she saw a chair in front of the fire but the chair wasn't facing them it was facing the fire.

"What do you want me to do with her?" The wizard that captured Hermione asked.

"Take her into the basement and torture her so I can hear her scream." The man in the chair responded.

The wizard took Hermione down some rickety stairs that looked like they were going to collapse. When the reached the bottom of the stairs the wizard pushed Hermione to the floor. Hermione backed up towards a wall. In the basement it was dark with only one source of light which was a lantern made of fire. There were more cobwebs all over the walls and bones on the floor. Hermione suddenly was scared for her life.

The wizard got out his want and started torturing Hermione with all sort of spells. Hermione had never felt this kind of pain before even when she got tortured by Bellatrix. Hermione started crying and screaming in pain. She could hear evil laughing coming from upstairs. She cried more.

Draco had to rescue her. 'He has to come.' Hermione kept saying in her head.

The wizard stopped torturing her and said "Don't even try to escape we will just torture you more!"

The wizard then left and locked the door, leaving Hermione to cry herself to sleep.

Draco now started pacing around the room. It was truly killing him that Hermione might be hurt which she probably would because the wizard was torturing her when he had entered the common room. He had to tell someone he really did. But no one would really be able to help him. But he had to help Hermione really badly. He would need a pass to go into the Library at this time now. Draco was thinking of more idea's and sat on the sofa. He fell to sleep.

It was early hours of the morning and Hermione was aching all over. She was still crying slightly. Hermione tried to stand up and she just about managed. She saw light. She thought it was probably where the door was to get into the basement. IF she wanted to escape she would need to try another way. She walked around the room careful to be quiet. She leaned on the wall and put her hand on the lantern. It moved. Hermione thought she was a goner now but a secret passage appeared. She could hear soft murmurs coming from upstairs. Not having time she ran into the passage. As soon as she was in it the passage door locked. Hermione checked that she still had her wand. She did, she was thankful for that.

"Lumos." Hermione said. Light came out from the tip of her wand.

Why they didn't take her wand she had no idea. She kept on walking and walking for what seemed like hours. Her feet were getting tired and her body was to be fair because she didn't sleep that much. Hermione started to get hungry too. She looked down at herself. She was covered in dust, dirt and cobwebs off from the floor.

She kept on walking though she had to find something, anything. Then she saw some light again and a ladder.

"Nox." Hermione said. The light from her wand disappeared. She put her wand back into her jeans and climbed up the ladder. She found herself in Honeydukes store room. It must of been how Harry got into Hogsmead in 3rd year. She got up and hid behind a box. She could just take any of them sweets right now but she knew that wasn't the right thing to do. Hermione waited until somebody came down to restock and then ran up the stairs as quietly as she could.

She left Hogsmead shop and then went on her journey back to Hogwarts. It was light so Hermione guessed she must of been walking for around 5 hours. When she got to Hogwarts she saw Draco sitting on a bench looking at her with soft eyes. Then everything went dark for Hermione and she fell to the ground.
