Hermione curled in on herself when she felt a foot sink deep into her gut and all air was knocked out of her. She rolled to her side and through the tears in her eyes she spotted Draco snarling above her, his wand held at one of the Snatcher's throats. He had him backed against the wall in what she then recognised to be a grand foyer. Reason only stood in her mind that she had indeed been brought to Malfoy Manor for the first time in her life. And it was as far from any fairy tale as anything could be.
