Hermione started to panic. They were trapped by Lupin, Tonks, and Kingsley. This is so bad. Narcissa held her hand tighter, trying to give her support. Hermione could feel her heart bumping out of her chest.

Narcissa spoke first, "Can I help you?" She asked abruptly.

Lupin sneered. "Of course you can. Just tell us where that scum you call family is located. We might just let you go if you do."

Narcissa scoffed, "I haven't seen Lucius or Draco in months if that's what you're looking for. I have no idea of their whereabouts. They claimed to be on 'business.'"

Narcissa went to move by, but Lupin and Tonks blocked her way.

"Let me by," she commanded.

"I don't think so, cousin." Tonks spat.

Narcissa, sensing they were in trouble, made to stand in front of Hermione. Hermione noticed an alley to the side. An escape.. Hermione saw Kingsley send a patronus, probably to ask for back up.

"Whose your friend?" Lupin inquired.

Narcissa put herself in front of her. "A friend of mine. We'd like to get going you know."

Lupin laughed, "That's not going to happen."

Narcissa went to raise her wand, but Lupin beat her to it. He had his raised and was about to curse her.

Hermione had a choice to make, and in that moment, she made it. Hermione focused her energy, shouting "Protego" at Narcissa, protecting her from the curse. She grabbed her hand and pulled her down the alley, all while sending stunning spells at the Order members chasing them.

"Hurry Cissy, let's go!" The two of them ran for their lives.

The moment she opened her mouth, Lupin knew. "Hermione?" He shouted, "Hermione!"

She ran faster, knowing that she had made her choice. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest, giving her strength. They turned, making their way onto the main strip in Diagon Alley. They stopped, noticing the path was blocked by Ron, Harry, Dumbledore, and Snape.

Her heart lept for joy at the sight of Snape. She looked at him, and he nodded. Help is on the way..

Narcissa and her were trapped. She turned to face Lupin, not wanting to see the look on Ron and Harry's faces.

"Hermione, what are you doing here?" Lupin asked.

"That isn't any of your business, is it now?" she sneered at him.

He looked shocked. Shaking his head, "Come here. Now."

Hermione stood her ground, grabbing Narcissa's hand. "You ready for this Cissy?" The woman nodded. The look in the Order's eyes was easy to read: betrayl. She didn't care. She did what she needed to do.

The two girls stood back to back, ready to take on the Order. Hermione took a deep breath. Lupin was about to curse her, but she beat him to it, "Cruccio!" Lupin blocked it in a flash. Suddenly there was an outburst of spells, flying in every direction.

"Cissy!" someone shouted.

Hermione turned to see both Malfoy boys running towards the fight. Hermione was locked in a duel with Harry.

"Hermione, this is crazy, what are you doing?" he shouted.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" she shouted back, mentally sending a curse at him. She smiled when it struck her target.

She looked around: things were getting back. They were outnumbered three to one. Hermione began to panic. She didn't want to get captured, finally it hit her.

Hermione quickly reached up and placed her hand on the back of her neck, touching her snake. "Tom, I need you!" she shouted. Harry looked at her quizzically, he had heard what she said.

Suddenly there was a loud crack, and Tom had appeared with four other Death Eaters. Hermione smiled, knowing they were saved. The Order members were shocked to see Tom Riddle before them, out in the open.

"Hermione!" he shouted, and began making his way through the people towards her, not bothering to fight. Hermione turned from Harry and began to go towards Tom.

However, Dumbledore stepped in front of her, facing Tom. Tom sneered, "Out of the way you fool. Or are you so eager for death?" Dumbledore shook his head, "Tom, you will not hurt another person." The two of them began to duel, killing curses shooting everywhere. She didn't know who would win, and it scared her.

Hermione raised her hand, about to curse her old headmaster, when she heard Harry shout, "Sectumsempra!" She felt the curse rip across her back, stabbing her. She screamed then fell to the ground. Draco turned from Tonks and ran over to her. He turned her over, trying to calm her. His hands were wet with her blood. He looked to Voldemort, his eyes full of worry.

That was all Tom needed before sending a Dark Curse at Dumbledore, not killing him, but injuring severely. He ran over to Hermione. Draco took off, cursing Potter.

Hermione looked up at Tom. She could barely see him. She was losing so much blood. He scooped her up, holding her with one arm, firing hexes with the other.

Harry Potter was so confused when he saw Voldemort pick up Hermione, cradling her like a child in his arms.

Tom shouted to the others, "Fall back!" He held tight to Hermione and apparated the two of them out of there.

Tom disappeared with Hermione, leaving a set of chaos behind. The Malfoys took off toward Knockturn Alley, along with the others. Once they reached the street, they all apparated away to safety.

The Order was so confused about what had transpired that day.

*Meanwhile at the Manor*

Tom had carried Hermione to their room, laying her upon the bed. She had passed out and was barely breathing. He muttered some countercurses, but needed Severus to look at her. He was scared for the girl. He had sent her into the world, defenseless. It was all his fault. He shook his head, trying to calm himself down.

He got up from the bed and started to pace. If Severus didn't get here soon...

Tom threw his hands up in fustration. He shouldn't be so worked up about her safety. I mean, what was she to him? A whole lot.. He punched the wall. Resorting to muggle violence made him feel better sometime.

He walked back over to the bed, observing Hermione. She was covered in blood, but he wasn't sure who it belonged to.

Severus burst into the room, rushing to the bed. He turned Hermione onto her front so he could see the scar better. He began muttering countercurses and applying balm to her wound.

Tom left, knowing that he couldn't do anything. It was all his fault. But who cares? He thought to himself, he had hurt people before, why should this be any different. He shook his head and went to his office, slamming the door behind him.

An hour or so later, he heard a knock on his door. "Enter," he growled. Severus walked in and bowed. "She has been attented to my Lord. She'll wake in the morning. Until then, let her rest." Tom nodded, then dismissed him.

He was glad she'd be okay. How dare Potter curse her with her back turned! "I'll make him pay," he said outloud to no one in particular.

Tom was so confused, he was trying to ignore the girl, yet she needed him. In more than one way it appears. He shook his head before apparating off to where he ought to have been.
