Past the Point of No Return

PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN

1

Ginny and Hermione would be caught; Ginny knew they would. Harry was gone. And Ron was gone. They would be caught.

The war was still raging on beyond their hiding place. Hermione had several large gashes on her face and arms. There were bruises everywhere. Hermione's wand had snapped, yet she still held half of it in her hand. Ginny did not know the state of her own injuries. Ginny's wand had been utterly lost when a Death Eater attacked her from behind. He had tried to stun her, yet the spell was wrong and it merely knocked her body down. She had dropped her wand, yet she did not even bother to look for it. She ran.

There were still screams and cries. Ginny could not get the screams out of her mind. She did not see it from her dueling spot, yet she had heard the screams of Harry as the Death Eaters killed him. In the end, Voldemort had been destroyed, yet Lucius Malfoy had taken over. No one knew where Draco was located, or even what side he was on.

Hermione started whimpering. She knew they would be caught as well. Suddenly, they both heard the snaps of twigs beneath feet. Ginny held her breath and Hermione allowed one tear to roll down her face as she silently grimaced.

"Feteor sibimit," a deep voice said and Ginny almost sobbed. She knew the spell and no sooner had she heard it that Hermione and Ginny were dropped from their spot in the tree.

They crashed to the forest floor and grunted as ropes immediately siezed their arms behind them. Their legs were seized towards their thighs so that they could walk slowly, but never run.

"Come now my fine ladies," the voice said, obviously a man. He reached for their arms and roughly pulled them to standing positions. Ginny almost fell, she was so scared, but Hermione leaned against her to keep her up. "Walk!"

They slowly started in the direction the man was prodding, having no idea where they were going or what their fate would be. They couldn't even see his face. They continued walking for the most agonizing ten minutes of their lives when they came upon the Manor. There it was. The war had started right outside the mansion, yet it continued to expand further on the Malfoy land until it reached the very edge.

They passed many bodies on the way. Ministry officials lay sprawled in piles of blood and gore. There were many bodies which were so disfigured that faces weren't even visible.

As they approached the sinister house, the masked man shot a jet of red light into the air. Ginny looked to Hermione questioningly. Hermione shrugged.

They soon arrived at the door. The man knocked 3 times and the door opened a slit. "I've brought them," the man said and the door opened. Inside stood a tall man. On his face was a white mask. A Death Eater. He wore a long black cloak.

The man turned his back on them and started down a long hall. The man holding them roughly pushed them forward and they started down the hallway.

"Master Malfoy will love you," the man growled in their ears. They walked past about four doors and the fifth one opened before them.

It was a small office. It had a large desk filling up the majority of the space and there was a large chair behind it. The chair's back was facing them as they entered and Lucius's hair was visible over the top. The man holding them pushed them through the door and roughly shoved them forward. They both fell to the floor.

Lucius turned as they struggled to pull eachother to their feet.

"Master Malfoy," the man said. "I have brought them. I caught them. They were fiesty and-"

"Enough," Lucius cold voice demanded as he stood before Hermione and Ginny. They still were sprawled on the floor and they dared not raise their eyes to meet his gaze. "Stand," he ordered and Hermione slowly raised her eyes to his. Ginny continued staring downwards, yet she looked up immediately as Hermione gasped.

It was not Lucius.

It was Draco.

"Rise when I order you," Draco said cruelly and Ginny almost screamed. Not Draco. Surely not Draco. Anyone but Draco. It couldn't be!

Hermione slowly pulled herself to her feet, never pulling her eyes from Draco's face. Ginny stared up at her in horror.

"Please untie us," Hermione asked quietly.

"Oh and why?" he shot back. "So you can try to escape? I think not. I guess I could untie you, but it would cost you." He eyed Hermione up and down, yet she did not break his gaze. Draco snapped his fingers and she was released from the cords binding her. He suddenly lunged at her and she was pinned up against the wall. Draco thrust his knee between Hermione's legs and immediately locked his lips to hers. She cringed under his touch as he pulled her wrists above her head and to the wall, yet she did not struggle nearly enough. Her eyes stayed wide open and she stared at Ginny as Draco fondled her. He pulled his lips from hers.

"That was nice," he growled into her ear before he kissed down her neck to her collarbone. Hermione thrust out her chest in an effort to push her body away from the wall, yet he did not budge. "What a little slut you are, Granger. Using your body to have restraints removed. Dispicable mudblood."

He removed his knee from between her legs and thrust her back towards the ground where Ginny still sat. She tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground next to Ginny. Hermione set her hands on Ginny's bindings and tried to untie them, but Draco snapped his fingers and she was pulled from Ginny by a tall man in a black cloak with a white mask.

"Ahhhh, Weasley," Draco said to her as he held out his hand. She ignored his hand, yet she was pulled to her feet by an invisible force. She was flung into his awaiting arms and she felt the ropes binding her disappear.

"Are you prepared to pay for your restraints to be removed?" He breathed it into her face. She stared into his eyes as long as she could bear, yet she had to break his gaze. He put his hand to her chin and directed her gaze back to his face.

"I promise it won't hurt," he said quietly with a slight smirk on his face. She kept his gaze this time. He took both her free wrists and held them tightly in front of his chest. He pounced forward and she felt her body hit the wall sharply.

Draco thrust his knee between her legs as he had for Hermione, yet he raised his leg higher until her entire body was supported by his knee between her legs. He locked his lips against hers as he took both her wrists in one of his large hands. His other hand reached up to her chest and started groping her harshly. Her eyes stayed wide open in shock and she pushed against his hand holding her. Ginny turned her face away from him and abruptly broke the kiss.

"What a fiesty girl," Draco growled into her ear. "We will have to tame you."
