I own the plot. Nothing else.

Chapter Seventeen(Missing)
Hermione's POV

~•~
I laughed hysterically while Draco sulked in his chair.

"It's not funny " He muttered darkly.

"Oh but it is funny Draco. I could never imagine you dressed up like this." I said looking at the childhood photograph of him dressed in a pink outfit with a green dragon in his hand, smiling at the camera with two front teeth missing.
The sight was simply hilarious.

"I was a child. I am completely unaware why mother would dress me up like that." He said looking at Narcissa and then glaring at me.

"I thought you looked cute in it." Narcissa replied with an amused smile.

"Aww! Really you look adorable in it." I commented which only caused him to scowl deeper.

It was second day after my wedding and Narcissa had invited us in a family dinner.
I can't say about Draco but I definitely was enjoying the visit.

"Shut up. Wait untill I ask Jean for your photographs. We will see who will be laughing then." He said.

"I'm gonna hide the photo album firstly whenever I visit mum." I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Try all you want."

I only laughed.

"I think it's about time for us to leave." Draco said standing up and looking at me.

"Thank you for the dinner Narcissa. I had fun today." I said smirking at the last part.

He only scoffed.

"It was lovely to have you dear. Do visit another time." Narcissa said pulling me in for a hug.

"Have a good night mother."

"Good night Narcissa."

"Thank you and Have a good night's sleep dears. See you soon."

Well walked out of the manor with Draco behind me.

"So you thought that was funny huh?"
He asked once we were outside.

"What?" I asked feigning innocence.

"Dont act Granger. Wait untill I find something to embarras you." He said while I chuckled.

As a chilly wind hit my arms, I shivered.

"Oh shit!" I exclaimed.

"Whats the matter?"

"I forgot my Cardigan inside." I said.

"Wait here. I'll bring it for you." He said and turned back to his manor.

"Thanks" I yelled.

It was odd that a July night was so chilly.

I felt someone behind me. Wow, he came back really fast.

"You came back rea-"
I paused in mid sentence as I gazed at the unfamiliar face in front of me.

My hands instinctively reached for my wand as I spoke,

"How may I help you?"

"Oh I don't know, maybe by dying? "

Third Person's POV

Draco walked out with Hermione's white Cardigan in his hand.

To say he was embarrassed, would be an understatement. His Mother and wife had teamed up against him and Hermione had laughed hysterically seeing those ridiculous pictures of him. Not that he didn't want her to laugh. She look even more beautiful when she did but he didn't want her to laugh at him.

He searched for her when he didn't find her waiting. His eyes wandered all over the garden but she wasn't there. Where could she go?

Did she apparate back? No she wouldn't go without him.

Not after he told her to wait. Decided to check for himself he apparated to their manor only to find it dark, as they left it.

Panic began to fill him. Where could've she gone?
An unknown dread was filling him. His gut was telling him something was not right.

The Grimmauld place was quiet when he apparated. Draco called out to Harry impatiently when he didn't see him.

"Potter! For Salazar's sake, come out." Draco yelled.

"Whats the matter Malfoy? Why are you yelling your head off?" Harry said walking down the stairs.

"Is Hermione with you?" He asked urgently to the raven haired boy who look puzzled.

"No. Weren't you two supposed to be at Malfoy Manor for dinner?"

"I bloody know that Potter. She's nowhere to be found."

"What do you mean nowhere to be found?"

Draco sighed, irritated at the boy in front of him.

"We were about to apparate back when she told me she forgot her Cardigan. So I went back to the manor to bring it for her and when I came back She wasn't there. I've searched our manor too, she's not there. She's missing."

A deep frown came over Harry.

"Did you ask Blaise and Ginny?"

"Not yet. I'll go ask them, you go over Weasley's place and search for her."

With a pop both of them apparated.
~•~

Hermione Granger laid unconscious at the cold stone floor, her body tied up in invisible ropes.

Three hooded people were present in the room whispering to each other.
They quietened when two people entered the room, holding air of power and superiority as they walked.

Annabel watched the unconscious brunette with hatred in her eyes.

"Finally at the place she deserves." She spat kicking Hermione in her stomach.

She turned towards the three guards who were standing with their heads bowed.

"Did anyone see you?" She asked eyeing them.

"No ma'am. Her husband was inside when we attacked her. She put up a good fight but couldn't win." The shorter of the three, who was a woman replied.

"Good you will be rewarded for your work. Make sure she doesn't leave the room, if she does you can say goodbye to your lives." She warned as they gulped and nodded.

"What do you want to do with her?" The older man asked eyeing her.

"For now, let her have her peace. I will deal with her when she's awake. Fetch me immediately when she wakes up."

"Where's are you going?"

"I'm sure her husband will be looking for her." She mysteriously replied before walking out of the room.
