December 23, 1996To say, he was worried, would be an understatement. It had been eleven days since William John Granger's twin sister, Hermione Jean Granger was kidnapped by Bellatrix Lestrange. Every time he thought about that woman, his blood boiled. He was sitting in the Granger house, he hadn't told his parents just yet about what happened to Hermione, he himself was still trying to figure out exactly what happened. He was seated at the dining room table, as he heard his mother humming in the living room. His father walked into the room. "Everything alright William?" Will nodded. Anyone who knew him, knew that Will wasn't alright. His father pulled out a chair to sit down. Will looked at him. "William, you've lived with us long enough to know that you can not lie to me. None of you kids can." Will nodded again. "Yeah I know dad." He said, looking down at the table again. "Is it about Hermione?" Will looked up. "Yeah... it is." He said. Then he stood up, "I have to owl someone." He said, leaving the kitchen.
He walked up to his room on the second floor. Once he was there, he looked around. He, being the only kid male, had the room to himself, when he was younger he used to share it with Hermione. Though often she'd sneak in there to stay with him at night. She said she got nightmares, and Will never turned her away. He enjoyed staying up late talking to her. Like it used to be, just the two of them cut off from the rest of the world. He walked over to the cage that held his owl, Joker. It was a masked owl that he had gotten for his seventeenth birthday. Or rather, as an early birthday present because his birthday fell during the year. "Joker, I need you to take something somewhere for me. Can you do that?" Of course Will knew he could, but he still felt that he should ask before expecting. Joker nodded rapidly, maybe in excitement at getting let out. Will smiled, then gently petted Joker through the bars of the cage. He sat down at the desk, and began writing the letter that Joker would soon deliver. The letter was addressed to Draco Malfoy, in it, William requested that Draco would come meet him. He gave him the address to the Granger House, and specified to not show any magic. Muggles are around, he stated. He didn't name the location.
Will's goal was to get Draco there so that they could talk about what to do about Hermione. He didn't know if Draco knew anything, but he figured they had similar goals. Get Hermione back, alive, and unharmed. He didn't sign the letter, and sealed it up, then opened the door to Joker's cage. "Take this to Hogwarts." He knew that Joker was smart, and knew where just about anything was in the world. "Draco Malfoy." He said, then he opened the window, and Joker took off.
Will watched him for a moment, before heading back downstairs. "Everyone, can I talk to you?" He was sure that Madeline didn't know about Hermione being kidnapped, he just told her that Hermione was busy at school, but he did wonder if Ashley had said anything. Both of them witnessed her being taken. They knew by who, but they didn't know why. Their mum looked up from the book she had been reading, and smiled at Will. "Of course darling." Will sat down in a chair, and looked at his family. His father walked in, and sat down on the couch. "First though... we have to wait for someone..." He said. His eyes traveled to the door, as he wondered. Would Draco show up?

IF THIS WAS FOREVER
WHAT COULD BE BETTER
IM LOOKING AT YOU
AND MY HEART LOVES THE VIEW
CAUSE YOU MEAN EVERTYING
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
THERES YOU AND ME Ashley Granger sat in her room. Ever since Hermione had been taken she hadn't really socalized much. She didn't even get into trouble. She just stayed quiet. She stared out her window wondering where Hermione was. Sometimes at night she would have a nightmare of that day. Of how she failed her sister. Hermione had always been there when Ashley needed her but when she needed Ashley she couldn't even help her.
Ashley walked to the living room when Will said that he wanted to talk to everyone. She sat in the middle of the floor quiet. She wondered what her parents thought of her silence. She stared at the fire that was going in the fireplace. She moved to sit in front of it while her back was to everyone else.
Ashley remembered that Nick Kang had been staying with him ever since he got blinded in Hogsmead. She got up and went up to the guest room that had became Nicks room. The door was open so she went inside. She looked at Nick. She walked up to him and asked Hey Nick would you like me to help you downstairs. Will has asked for everyone to come in the living room for a meeting. [/color][/size] |

Nick's thoughts soon drifted to the man who caused Riley to go blind, Luca Zaroth. Kang was thinking of a milion ways to kill him, besides the killing curse. Nick's train of thought halted when Ashley arrived in the room, Nick's senses in hearing and smell had been heightened since the incident that made him go blind. "Um...Ashley?" he called out, reaching around for his wand, he found it and clutched it. "I'm not ready to..go down because.. I don't have anything to cover my eyes." he didn't like to go out in public due to losing his sight. Dumbeldore gave him a walking stick to help him navigate around, both him and Riley recieved one. He didn't like it, he preferred to be able to see and not rely on a stupid piece of well carved wood. |

Riley sat on a spare bed, in Hermione’s room, thinking about what has gone on for the past week and a half. It has been eleven days since that fateful day at Hogwarts. Eleven days since she was condemned to being blind, all because she wanted to kick lord moldy mort’s ass as she would so lightly put it. She ran her ran over the walking stick that Dumbledore had given to her after she had been released from Saint Mungo’s. They fixed her arm the best that they could, so it was still in a sling, but her eyes were irreparable. Zaroth was to blame for all this, and Riley knew it. Riley thought back to when she had told Hermione everything. The look on her face was the last thing Riley saw of her before she had gone blind. She got up and tried to walk to the mirror on the dresser in Hermione’s room, but she tripped over her school trunk. Having enough of these little incidents, Riley stood up and threw her stick out the door angrily, and heard it clattering down the steps. She felt around the wall until she found the exit, and walked out the door, with a million of thoughts still running through her mind. Another image that she hated seeing last was Nick Kang, her love of her live, sacrificed his sight as well for her. It tore her heart that he couldn’t play his favorite sport because of her. She blames herself a lot lately but what can you do with her. She heard two voices talking in the room next to her, so she went and listened at the door. Hey Nick would you like me to help you downstairs. Will has asked for everyone to come in the living room for a meeting. "Um...Ashley?" Riley heard Nick call out. "I'm not ready to go down because…I don't have anything to cover my eyes.". Riley heard enough, because she knew that Nick probably blamed her for what happened to him. She would completely understand if he never wanted to hear or see her ever again. She heard someone coming up the steps and she turned around. ”Who’s there?” she asked, wishing that she hadn’t thrown her cane down the stairs. ”It’s ok, it’s me…Maddie….I found this down the stairs and I thought you might want it back. Riley felt something being pushed into her hands, and she felt the familiar pattern of her name carved into the object. So, Maddie had brought Riley her stick. ”Thanks Madz!” ”No problem, Will wants us downstairs for a meeting! Maddie said and grabbed Riley’s elbow, leading her down the stairs. ”So, Ri, you wouldn’t happen to know what’s up with Hermione would you? Maddie wondered aloud. Riley shook her head. ”Nah, last I heard, she had her nose stuck in a book." Riley heard Maddie chuckle softly at this, and then speak. ”I got Riley…but Ashley is still working on Will. Riley was led to a couch and she sat down on it, hating that she couldn’t see if people were giving her pitying looks again. Riley turned in the direction of what she thought was Will, but she was looking at a lamp post and spoke. ”Um….I just wanted you to know Will that I appreciate what you have done for me…especially with me being a….a…one of them. she said, closing her eyes, willing the tears not to come.

Ashley sighed and thought a minute. Nick was always so complicated but she understood that he felt self concious. She thought of something and ran to her room. She came back with the sunglasses that she had got custom made for Max. They were blue with a raven on it. She put them on Nicks face and said There you go. Is that better for you. She hoped that it did help cause she didn't want Nick to be left out of the conversation. She stood there waiting for his answer. Even though he couldn't see she still gave him a smile.

His sight unlike Riley isn't fully disappeared, he might catch a glimpse of something now and again but he will eventually be able to see again, unlike his love who would never recover her sight. "K, you can lead me downstairs now." he said to Ashley as he had his walking stick and wand in both hands. He stood there and waited for Ashley to take him into the living room where the meeting was. |

Post by Draco Malfoy on Nov 22, 2009 22:56:42 GMT -7
Draco was sitting in his dorm at the school. He was feeling miserable. It was all his fault that Hermione was now at the hands of the Dark Lord and his crazy Aunt. Who knew what they could do to her; and it killed him to think of it. Draco slammed a fist down onto the desk, watching as the items all rattled at the motion. He knew that Voldemort wasn't staying with his family. It was too risky. And Draco hadn't received any word from his mother about him. She would usually write him and complain about what she had to put up with. Unless his father had somehow silenced her.. or Bellatrix had, Draco figured that Voldemort was nowhere near the manor.
A tapping on his window stirred him from his thoughts and he stood up to go to the window; opening it an owl flew in and landed on his desk. Draco stepped up to the owl and offered it a treat as he removed the parchment and read it. The slytherin boy frowned in thought then folded the letter back up and pushed it into his pocket before hurrying out of his dorm without even thinking about the owl, left to himself.
Once Draco was safely out of the school without alerting Filch... Dumbldore and the other professors had made it clear that everyone, staying at hogwarts during the holidays was to stay inside because they feared more students may disappear... Draco apparated to a spot close to the address Will had given him. It was dark and it appeared to be some sort of alley that Draco had arrived in. He dusted his clothes off then stepped out onto a street. Glancing at houses he wondered where he was, until he spotted the address he was looking for. Draco went up to the door an d knocked firmly. A trickle anxiety, or fear, trickled down his spine as he waited for someone to open the door. For the first time since rushing from his dorm, Draco wondered if this had been some kind of trap. |

December 23, 1996Will watched Ashley go upstairs. She hadn't spoken much since the incident, and Will couldn't blame her. They had both seen their sister being kidnapped, and neither of them could stop it from happening. Will could still remember that day like it was five minutes ago. Every moment of that day was carved into his mind. He heard Riley, who was living with them along with Nick, get frustrated and Madeline went up to help her. No one in the house, besides Nick, Riley, Will, and Ashley knew what really happened to Hermione. He looked up from the chair and nodded to Riley as she came down with Madeline. "Um….I just wanted you to know Will that I appreciate what you have done for me…especially with me being a….a…one of them." she said, closing her eyes, willing the tears not to come. Will chuckled slightly, something he hadn't done in a long while. "It's alright Riley. Don't worry about it." He said, a hint of amusement in his voice. His head shot up as he heard a firm knock on the door. So Malfoy had been brave enough to come to the Muggle World. He stood up, and took Riley's hand, and gently pushed her over to the sofa and pushed her down so that she was sitting. "Just a second." He said smiling at his family. He walked over to the door, and opened it. "Thanks for coming, Malfoy." He said nodding to the Slytherin. He wasn't too pleased about having Draco Malfoy in his house, but he figured they needed all the help they could get. "Come in." He opened the door more, and moved out of the way so that Draco could come inside. His parents stood up, a bit of alertness on their faces. "Mum, Dad, don't worry." He said with a smile. They looked from Will, to Draco, then sat down cautiously. "I guess they still remember you." He said with a light chuckle. He looked up the staircase. "Ash? Nick? You two okay? [/b]" He called. Then he waited for an answer, from just about everyone.[/blockquote][/size]

Ashley smiled and said No problem Nick. She took Nicks arm and started to lead him out. She heard Will and yelled back to him Yeah we are coming down. When she got downstairs she helped Nick walk to the couch. When she turned she saw Draco Malfoy. Her blood boiled. She hated this boy more then ever. What is that dumbass doing here Will she asked her brother. She didn't care if her parents grounded her for cussing. She didn't want Draco here. Not after what happened to Hermione. Her gaze was at Draco and it was filled with hurt and disgust. He just reminded Ashley what had happened to her sister. [/size][/center] |

Will looked towards the stairs. "Yeah we are coming down." He smiled slightly when she came down, although it didn't last long. "What is that dumbass doing here Will" His mother looked at her second oldest daughter. "Ashley Marie Granger!" She yelled. "We do not speak that way to guests." She said. Will could tell she was angry with her daughter. And Will couldn't blame her really. Couldn't blame Ashley or his mother. He knew that Draco... at least had... some good in him, or Hermione wouldn't give him the time of day. "Look! Can we just focus on the issue at hand!?" He shouted, trying to raise his voice over the angry tone of his mother's. "I asked Draco to come here, so he himself can tell you exactly what happened when Hermione was kidnapped." He stopped himself. He forgot, for a moment, that his parents and younger sister didn't know about her being kidnapped. He wasn't sure that Riley or Nick knew either. "Please tell me... I heard you wrong William." Will looked at the ground. "No, you didn't. We had a Hogsmeade Trip a while back, Hermione was in a fight, not serious just words were tossed around, I took her away from it, and then Hogsmeade was attacked. Hermione ran off to find..." He looked over at Draco, still keeping his head down. "Someone... Anyways, Ashley ran after her, and then a Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange to be more exact." He said, then he looked up at his family, Riley, Nick, and Draco. "So, Draco, do you know anything?" He asked, expectantly.
