Last one for the night, I spent most of today at work writing these chapters because the work was mega slow. I hope you guys enjoy.

THIS STORY IS AU.

Chapter Sixteen:

"Order of the Night huh?" she asked, her voice was cold and slightly amused. Ronald nodded like he was impressed with himself, she was guessing that he came up with the name, if the others rolling their eyes was anything to go by. She was definitely curious as to how a weak wizard like Ronald Weasley came to be in charge of anything. "You have watched way too many muggle movies Weasley." She said before she felt someone kick her in the stomach. Her body automatically curled into itself and her breath escaped her lungs. She involuntarily gasped for air and then she straightened back up and perched herself on her knees.

"Aw, did I hurt the ugly mudblood?" Mercy asked and Hermione snickered.

"You wish. I have more power and strength in my pinkie toe then you do in your entire body." She taunted the witch, figuring that they wouldn't do too much damage, they needed her for something. Mercy went to kick her again and Hermione dodged her foot. She knew that it may be a bad idea to goad her on, but she couldn't help it.

"Stop Mercy, we need her, and we can't use her if she is unconscious." Ronald said and Mercy huffed in anger and then returned to her sister. Hermione realized that she didn't have her wand, and then she remembered that it was still in her room back at her house. It is a good thing that the boys and I learned all those defense spells, though none of them will block the killing curse and I'm not totally sure about the other two unforgivables. Shit. Hermione thought to herself, keeping her face expressionless.

"We are going to use you to draw out Harry Potter from his hiding place, and then finish what Voldemort started, and then we will take over the Wizard World. We will kill Dumbledore as well, and I will kill your precious Slytherin bastard for taking you fro me." Ronald exclaimed and Hermione struggled not to laugh, and it was a hard fought battle. A snicker or two escaped her.

"You dare laugh at us?" Victor Krum spoke up and she realized that it was easier to understand him now then it was years ago.

"I am not laughing." Hermione said simply, forcing her laughter down for a later time when she wasn't around people with wands who were itching to use it. Mercy made her way forward to attack her again and Hermione growled.

"Touch me again Mercy, see what the hell happens." She threatened, raising tensely to her feet, her heels clicking on the stone floor in annoyance. She no longer seemed to be expressionless, her eyes were alight, waiting for someone to attack. She would more then likely dominate in a fist fight, though she just needed to find a way out of here to get back to her family. Marcy grabbed her sisters arm and held her back. Marcy thought that Hermione was slightly intimidating standing like she was, and there was probably more to her then any one here knew. Marcy didn't want to be here, she was just following her sister so she could keep her safe, she was the smarter of the two, if only by a little, and her mind was telling her sense of self-preservation that she should get out of there before something bad happened to any of them. She had to tighten the grip on her sisters arm, Mercy wanted to struggle, but then Victor Krum placed a petrifying spell, keeping her in place.

"Now now Mercy, please chill out." He said and Mercy's eyes were glowing, she was seething, even if she couldn't move. Hermione's snarl twisted into something more menacing, a mix of a smirk and a sneer, it was rather frightening to look at.

Severus and Ginny had barely figured out what the drug or potion was when their time was up. He showed her out of the labs and his secret passageway and the two darted toward Hogsmeade in a full tilt run, she was doing a good job of keeping up with him. They made it just outside the gates and he put his hand on her arm and then apparated to where the club was at. They appeared and made their way through the crowd and to James. He saw it was them and beckoned them inside, hoping that they could find something to bring back his friend.

Ginny led the way up the stairs to the meeting room, and it appeared that everyone else was there already, including Hermione's team, her parents, Nik, Brad, Jacks, the Headmaster and Minerva, his mother and siblings, Lucius, the minister of magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Tonks, Remus Lupin, Fred and George Weasley, Chris, Jeremiah, Tommy, and Jason. They seemed to be waiting for the two, and once they entered and closed the door behind them, Harry stood up, apparently he was still in charge.

"Alright, everyone is here, I have already made the needed introductions, but everyone here knows Severus Snape and Ginerva Weasley." He said and everyone nodded, and the two gave a brief nod. "We'll start with you two, what did you two find?" Harry asked and once she realized that Severus couldn't speak, she spoke for him. This must be really difficult for him.

"The drug that was used was a mix of muggle and magic. There was what is commonly known as a muggle date rape drug mixed with a magical sedative that was slipped into her drink more then likely when her back was turned. It is mostly on the rim of the bottle. This is new, which is why it actually affected her. It effectively paralyzed her and made it easy for her captor to pretty much carry her away somehow." Ginny told them and they all nodded sadly. Severus shot her a grateful look, this was quickly wearing on his nerves and his stomach was in knots. Harry turned to Fred and George, who both stood while Ginny and Severus took a chair.

"We had used every contraption and spell known to wizards, everything that we have created, every spell that we know, every spell that the ministry knows of tracking a person, and we have found nothing. Hell, we even attempted to scry for her, since it worked for her before, and it failed too. Wherever she is, the place is heavily cloaked from tracking." George said.

"We asked the help of some friends in both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley, especially Spells mistresses and masters and book owners and the like, and are waiting on word from them. They may have something that we don't know about, I know when we left every bookstore, the entire staff was searching through books for anything. Apparently, people really like her." Fred added and then they sat down, and Severus felt his stress and dread growing in his stomach, his face was deathly pale. One of the boys from Hermione's team stood up to speak.

"We have searched everywhere that she has ever been, and we have blown through our resources to see if we could find her. Our commander gave us permission to do whatever it takes to bring her back. We have some foreign friends looking through their stuff to see if they can find a way to find her as well, and we'll know something as soon as they find anything." He said and Harry nodded, his face was kind of pale too, but he was determined. The boy turned to look at Severus for a moment. "We will find her and bring her home and everything will be fine. Trust us." He said and Severus barely managed a nod.

"I have compiled a list of people that do not like Hermione and have anything against her, and we are going through that list and contacting each person to see if they have any information." Kingsley told them all and a look of realization appeared on some faces.

"Victor Krum, Ronald Weasley, and the twisted twins Marcy and Mercy!" Chris, Jason, Tommy, and Severus chorused.

"I totally forgot about the first two, though I do not know the last two." Kingsley said and he quickly wrote a note and sent it off with a wave of his hand with the four names on it.

"The twins are really twisted women. They are known for drugging guys to have affairs with them as well as ruining relationships. They are into some pretty dark and sick stuff." Chris began.

"Earlier tonight they set their sights on Severus, and Hermione stopped them from doing anything to him." Jeremiah told everyone.

"They don't take well to not getting their way and they have bad tempers. They tend to dabble in the dark arts and will attack anyone who has even done them a slight wrong." Jason told them and Severus began to shake. Everyone who did not know of the new relationship between Hermione and Severus was surprised at the emotions that were easily displayed across his face and they were surprised when Ginny and Harry reached over to comfort him. Ginny put her arm around his shoulder and pulled him close and he clung to her, she began to rock back and forth and whispering things to calm him down, he was having a total meltdown. Harry was rubbing his back comfortingly.

"Hermione and Severus are back together again and totally devoted to each other." Harry hated sharing personal business with people who weren't already aware, but they needed to know so they could understand. "He has promised to marry her, he was going to propose soon. They are soul mates." Harry said quietly and Severus gasped and looked at him. Harry nodded, it was the truth, though Severus didn't know until then.

"That is the only way that you overrode that potion like you did." Chris and Jeremiah murmured together and everyone gasped in shock and surprise. To those who already knew of the relationship, it finally made sense to them. Severus had a very gentle and dim glow around him, that only the person who had found his or her true soul mate had, it wasn't very noticeable most of the time, unless one was in great distress. Ginny continued to try to soothe the formidable man, no one had ever seen him like this. He wasn't crying yet, but he was close. His mother and Kristine walked over to either side of him and the three women held him tightly and did their best to calm him together. Harry drew everyone else' attention back to him, trying to give the four some privacy, he knew how his Potion's Master was, he hated showing weakness and emotions.

"It is affecting him so much because of the stress. We have not seen Hermione in six hours, and if she is with the four previously mentioned people, she could be in great danger." Harry said and everyone nodded. Kingsley received a parchment and his face was grim.

"No one has been able to find the four since the twins left the bar hours ago. We are going to have to search everything on our own." He told them all quietly and Hermione's team growled.

"You will have as many men as you need from our division. Our battalion is huge and the commander will give us the use of every one of them. She is loved by most of our group, and even those who don't really like her respect her and will do what they are told. Give us a number of how many you need and where you want us to be, and we will get them there." The one who was on crutches, Dominic told them and Harry nodded.

"We will make plans with who we have right now, and then we will add your men as well as more aurors." Harry told them and everyone nodded. Harry drew up a big map that covered the entire conference table, and everyone took out a sheet of parchment, getting ready to do as they were told, the three women still trying to comfort the man.

Severus was really distressed. His beloved was taken from him, right from under his nose. Someone had drugged her and probably injured her some how, and mostly because she had defended him and saved him from the two twisted twins. He figured that this was all his fault, because she was involved with him, because she loved him. This was also a direct flashback from what happened during the war. Voldemort had kidnapped her and held her hostage for three weeks, just to torment Harry and unknowingly Severus as well. Now she was gone from him again, and they weren't totally sure if she was coming back alive. The only people who seemed confident that she would come back alive were her team, her family, and his mother and Ginny.

He was sitting hunched over his chair with Ginny at his left side, his hands clutching at her robes, his mother standing in front of him hugging him tightly, and her mother, Kristine, standing on his other side, trying to keep herself together so she could comfort him. He could vaguely hear what was going on outside their bubble, but he knew that he would be no help. He had done all he could, and that was only with the help of the red head at his side. Now he was just a mess and useless. He almost lost Hermione last time she was kidnapped from him, she had almost bled to death and needed extensive repairs. He had to give her some of his blood just so she would heal. Their blood had mixed and bonded, and he felt that something was gnawing at the back of his brain, this bond was important but his brain wasn't working well enough for him to know what was so important about it. He didn't want to lose her, he couldn't lose her.

He listened as Christ, Jeremiah, and Jason gave a complete profile on the two sisters and it was bad. Once Kingsley and Tonks told him everything that their sources had gathered, everyone was feeling pretty bleak. They belonged in Azkaban for everything that they had done since they were children, they really didn't know why the two were free. They were death eaters who had claimed that they were under the imperious curse and had somehow gotten away with that. The meeting ended and everyone agreed that they would all go home for a few hours to get some sleep and get prepared to go on a man hunt for their beloved Hermione Granger, and they were determined to find her.

Kristine and Miana led Severus through the floo in the room back to the Granger manor and took him to the room he shared with Hermione. They quickly changed his clothes and helped into the bed and left him a mild sleeping draught on the night stand if he wasn't able to sleep.
