Chapter Twenty-two


Her husband had magically tied her to the bed! Hermione could barely believe that this had happened. The fact that he tied her down wasn’t in itself a shock. But the fact that they hadn’t had sex when he had done so was what had her angry. So there she was stuck and she was only able to get over to the WC, but that only happened after she muttered that she had to desperately go to the loo. She was also able to call the house elves, but they had been given the strict orders not to release her.


It was then that it occurred to Hermione to get Ginny and Luna over there in order to get her out of the bed. That’s if she were lucky and he didn’t get a wand oath or worse out of them. But there was only one way to find out, she thought.


Ginny arrived with Luna to find Hermione impatiently sitting in her bed with a look of planning on her face that had them both wondering if it were safe to release her at all.


“He magically bound me here,” she told them yet again. “One minute he was kissing me and the next he was backing away with his wand in hand, telling me that staying put was for the best.”


“Are you upset that he used sex to do this to you?” Ginny asked her.


“Do you think I would be this upset if he used sex at all?” Hermione demanded. “Merlin’s blue balls, Ginny, I don’t think I would be upset even if he only went down on me! But he just bound me magically using the promise of sex…” Her friends shuddered at her words. “…to trick me!” Hermione glared at them. “And yes, the man is great in the sack.”


“Nothing I want to know about,” Ginny muttered.


It was with a slight glare that Hermione went on to say, “That wasn’t what I asked you here for. Can either of you get me loose of this bed?”


Ten minutes later Hermione was free and going straight over to the paperwork that had been left out and about. She handed papers over to both Luna and Ginny, muttering, “This is the visitor’s log. We need the name of the one man that went to visit Yaxley the day before he was given the kiss. We also need the name of the auror who checked the visitor in as well as out.”


“Why do you need the name of the person who checked the lawyer into the prison?” Luna asked, as she kept going through the log.


“While I was tied up, I had time to think,” Hermione answered. “Specifically about the procedures of the prison for visiting individuals. Aurors meet the guests at the docks and take the people into the prison’s welcoming room—an oxymoron if I ever heard it as it happens to be one of the least welcoming places on earth. But back to what I was saying, it’s there that the people coming in are checked over. And when I say everything is checked over, I do mean everything from their wands right down to glamours some women use to cover up gray hair. These aurors check every guest coming into the prison. If this lawyer, as I suspect, was glamoured or polyjuiced chances are that he would have to bribe the auror checking him into and out of Azkaban.”


“Found it,” Ginny announced, handing the paper over to Hermione. “The auror working the welcoming room was Matthew Fargo.”


Hermione made a note, as she went over to the floo. A moment later Lucius Malfoy was in the rooms with them, looking over to Luna oddly as she was wearing a pair of earrings as well as a necklace both made out of the push tabs from muggle soda pop cans.


“Why in the name of all that’s holy would you wear those metal things?” he asked, even as Hermione was trying to pull his attention to what she needed done.


“Lucius!” she snapped. “Ask her about that later, but for right now you need to find out about this man.” Handing him the paper.


“What?” he asked, turning to look at what she was holding out to him. “Who is this Matthew Fargo?”


“He works and/or worked over at Azkaban,” she explained to him. “We need to find out if he took a bribe at the time just before Yaxley was given the kiss. You have the connections and I trust that you can find out not only that, but can find out everything else you can about him.”


He made a sour sound. “Why should I bother?”


“You mean it’s not enough to want to prove that you have nothing to do with the so far four deaths that are connected to you?” Luna asked in her lilting tones that had Lucius spinning to face her. “I suppose you could always blame it on the trinkle-dums. It’s said that they are known for their mysterious ability to transport inanimate objects to their nesting sites.” She worried her lower lip. “But that could be difficult to prove as most trinkle-dums prefer nesting in the cooling tanks of muggle power plants.”


He went straight over to Luna and growled, “Are you out of your mind, witch?”


“No, but if you keep using that tone of voice, you just may talk me out of my panties,” she replied, turning to look over to Hermione and Ginny, both of them looking at the two of them in shock. “If I didn’t wear my seductive voice defusing necklace and earrings, I’m sure I would have been in trouble by now.”


Hermione’s clock chirped, “Cuckoo! Cuckoo!”


“It would appear the clock is correct in more ways than one,” Lucius muttered, as he was walking away. “I’ll let you know what I find out, Mrs. Snape.”


Once he was gone, both Ginny and Hermione were still looking at Luna like she had lost her mind. The airy blond shrugged and murmured, “What can I say? Sex is a primary need and who am I to ignore it or how that wizard can fulfill it?”

Time once again for the Review Sing-A-Long!!! The answer to the last one was "Run This Town" by Jay-Z featuring Rihanna and Kanye West. Cookies go out to Carrie, LadyFireCrab, sirsevchick, and annie. If I missed you, I'm sorry.

And here is the next song! "So, tell me why we got to die/And kill each other one by one/We've got to hurt and rub a dub/We've got to review and be in love" And here is your clue--This former Blue man used to be married to one of the Cosby kids during what I would like to think of as a crazy spell he got over as soon as they divorced. But what I gotta, gotta know is what is the song and who recorded it? Did you get the hint? Great! Have a nice week people!
