“OI!! Why am I bloody
tied up?! HEY!!
HARRY?!, HERMIONE??!
SOMEONE?!
OI!!!!”
She growled and pulled Harry’s
pillow over her face.
There was sound of movement – Ron
was dragging himself over the floor somehow.
Bugger.
She’d have to get up and deal
with it.
Reluctantly she tossed the covers back and sat up, Ron had already seen her naked so it hardly
mattered much now.
She stomped around the edge of the bed feeling a quiet satisfaction when Ron
jerked around to look at her upside down and apparently lost the ability to
think coherently.
“I was sleeping Ron. I’m sorry you’re tied up. I’m not allowed to untie you though. Harry said..”
Ron nodded distractedly. “I..remember. “ His eyes continued
to sweep over her inch by inch.
She felt a bit self conscious suddenly
and stepped around him to go to her wardrobe and pull out a night dress.
When she turned back to Ron he looked disappointed.
“I’m cold” he said quietly.
She wasn’t surprised. Harry hadn’t
bothered to dress him last night and the ropes around his body probably were of
no use at all, lying on the cold stone floor.
She felt pity for him.
“I’m sorry, Ron.. about what
happened. After he stupefied you he was
in a bit of a mood and there was nothing I could do. Harry’s not the easiest to reason with these
days, in case you didn’t notice.”
Ron nodded grimly.
“Yeah.. I saw
that. What the bloody hell happened to
him? He wasn’t this way before you turned up here. Did you do something to him somehow?!”
She looked at him offended.. and also slightly guilty.
“Actually I think he’s been like
this long before I came here and just hidden it well. He was like ...that... to me almost as soon
as I woke up. When the others were in
the room he was nice-as-pie Harry Potter.
There’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve
got no magic to defend myself with and even if I did – he’s really strong and
everyone already thinks I’m the antichrist.”
Ron looked confused. “The what?”
Hermione shook her head. “It doesn’t
matter, Ron. I meant that they all think
I’m Voldemort’s pet and probably going to do something to the order or to Harry.”
Ron frowned.
“Hermione.
I was AT that initiation. You remember?! When you were going to stab me with a huge
knife?!
I SAW that you’re ...you know who’s.. pet. The way you looked at him. It gave me
the creeping willies, it did.
You looked at him like Bellatrix Lestrange! As if he was the greatest
thing ever.”
Hermione looked away. She was sure she hadn’t. Ron was..wrong...
or only saw what he wanted to see or something.
Ron seemed to remember something.
“and Harry thinks so too, doesn’t he – what was all
that about with the eyes and the white skin.
It looked like he was throwing you know who in your face..
You didnt.. with..him
did you..” He looked suddenly alarmed.
She looked at him as if to say – don’t
be bloody stupid but inside she felt panicked – bloody thick as a plank Ron
already got all that?.
“I think..” she began slowly and it wasn’t altogether
a lie “I think that Harry.. might be curious about Voldemort. I think he wanted to know what it might be
like to be him..”
Ron looked sceptical but nodded
slowly.
“You.. you wanna untie me now? I won’t do anything, don’t worry.”
She looked at him again as if he
were retarded. “Ronald..
of course you would.
Anyone would. I certainly bloody
would if I were you. “
She thought for a moment.
“But maybe you should. The order
needs to know about Harry and its better if they throw me in Azkaban. Harry wants to take me out of the wards to
get Lestrange.”
She wrapped her sleeves around herself.. she could feel the beginnings of a cramp. Obviously aunty flo
would be popping in for an unwelcome visit sometime in the next day or so.
Ron looked hopeful.
“Ok.. let me go
then. We can find a way out of here and
go tell someone.”
She looked down at him
pensively. “We can’t find a way out of
here Ron. You have to get someone to
come and get us. We’ll never get past Harry’s
wards and if we try, he’ll know and
he’ll come back here immediately.”
Ron looked concerned about this. Clearly
he didn’t want Harry coming back angry with him either.
“Well we’ll discuss it after you
untie me” he said, slightly desperately – worried that she wasn’t going to
now.
She looked at him indecisively.
“He told me specifically not to untie you.
If we fail-..”
She swallowed.
Ron looked at her determinedly. “Untie
me – someone HAS to know about this. We can’t
just let him go on this way. Maybe there’s
something actually wrong with him and
they can fix it.”
Hermione bit her lip and crept
over to him and started to fumble with the bands of rope, trying to slide them
up his frame. The incarcerous never left
any knots. It was one reason why it was
so effective to bind people with.
After nearly an hour of struggling and quite a bit of cursing on Ron’s part she
had the ropes down far enough to start dragging them over his feet and then the
rest became loose enough to pull down.
“What the bloody hell do you think
you’re doing” Harry’s irritated voice lashed at them
both from the door, making them jump and look up at him guiltily.
“I told you not to untie him, Hermione”
he glared.
He stepped over Ron’s legs and
pulled her up to her feet by her arm. “We’ll
talk about this later.” He growled
ominously.
Ron and Hermione looked back at
him fearfully, unwilling to say anything to make their situation worse.
Harry summoned Ron’s shredded clothes from the library, repairing them and
tossing them into his face as his bindings vanished..
“Get dressed – Draco just
contacted me. Apparently Voldemort wants
a private meeting with him tonight and he’s worried that he won’t be able to
keep him out of his mind. Voldemort’s
never wanted a meeting with him like this before. So it means we have to get Lestrange
now and then he and Draco will have
to stay here and try to get through Voldemort summoning them.
Draco’s said before that the burning feels faint from inside my wards so I’m
not sure how bad the pain he can send through it will be.”
“He can’t do it forever
though. He’ll get tired of it if we just
keep them here.”
Hermione started to panic – “But.. you can’t. I don’t want to! What if he gets me back and then uses-”
Harry cut her off – “I don’t want
to hear it, Hermione. If I don’t get Lestrange, you’ll die.
If we don’t go now, then Voldemort might find out and stop me from
getting Lestrange.
You’re mine and i’m not giving you up!”
Ron looked confused and
distraught. “Why might she die? You
never mentioned that last
night.”
Harry looked at him
impatiently. “It doesn’t matter right
now Ron. I’ll tell you when we get back
with Lestrange.
It’s... it’s a kind of spell he put on her. He has to take it off or she’ll die. If I can get him here then I can make him
take it off”
Hermione looked at the floor.
“Alright..”
Ron said finally, looking between them both uncertainly. “I’ll help.
What’s the plan?!”
Harry looked at Hermione and flicked
a hand, transfiguring her nightdress into a plain green robe.
She smirked inwardly. The old Harry would never have dressed her in green. He’d have picked red or brown or blue before
green.
He started to explain the plan to them both.
“Its not complicated.
Draco is going to come here soon and take Hermione by portkey to a little stone mausoleum I found, on the pretense of handing her over to Lestrange.
You and I are going to tag along on the port key shift so that we all arrive at
the same time. I’ll silence us both and
put up some anti apparition wards over the room and some physical wards around
the perimeter while Draco keeps him busy
– then he’ll be trapped.
You’ll wear my invisibility cloak and I’ll use a charm I found for invisibility
and we’ll split off when we get there, and circle around to surround him.”
“When Draco says ‘Granger’ you
start casting stupefies as hard as you can. I’ve got some more heavy duty
spells I’m going to use on him and Draco will be doing the same thing.
If he tries to run, keep firing at him but throw up a shield in case we end up
in each other’s crossfire.
If he’s too much for us or if he somehow gets out of there or one of us gets
seriously – and I mean seriously
injured, we’ll portkey back out.”
Ron looked reasonably
satisfied. Hermione just felt
worried.
She’d seen Rodolphus with Severus in a standing
fight. Severus hadn’t stood a chance,
and Rodolphus hadn’t even been considering really attacking him.
Still.. she reasoned. Severus had
gotten the drop on Rodolphus when he hadn’t been
expecting a fight.
She frowned.
Probably.
Probably Rodolphus hadn’t known Severus
was going to attack him. What good would
letting Severus attack him be, she mused, ignoring the discussion of
the boys in the background.
Of course.. Voldemort didn’t seem to have punished him
when she saw him at the initiation. He
looked quite fit.
Severus on the other hand had
definitely received a good dose of the cruciatus.
Had Rodolphus actually planned it that way, she wondered.
Had he known her so well that he’d expected her to plead for him.. expected the Dark Lord to react
that way?
Hm. There was no way of knowing really. Perhaps if Dracos
plan worked she could ask him later.
She was sure that it wouldn’t be that simple though.
Admittedly, trapping a vampire in
a small building during daylight hours when he’d be, at least theoretically,
weaker, was a good idea, but...
something felt wrong.. or ..perhaps not wrong but she definitely felt like they
were forgetting something. It was
important.
“Hermione!!” Harry yelled at her,
finally getting her attention. She
turned to him with enquiring eyebrows.
“Pay attention! This is important. Whatever you do, stay by Draco. He’ll cast his shield around you.
If you wander away from him then you could get hit by something – or worse – Lestrange could get a hold of you.
If Draco moves, you move with him. Here – take this.”
Harry walked over and pinned a bobby pin into the sleeve of her robe.
“As soon as it starts, stick yourself and port back here. It’s keyed to your blood but It’ll take you to a different entry point this time cause I don’t
want Ron’s family pitching a fit – just stay
where you land. I’ll be there as soon as
i can to bring you back in to the manor.”
Hermione nodded seriously.
A polite knock on the door sounded
from the next room. They followed Harry
out and he made a complicated gesture at the door, rendering it transparent to
display a nervous irritable looking Draco Malfoy straightening his robe.
His blonde hair was lank and he
looked a bit peaky, as if he hadn’t been sleeping well.
Harry restored the door and walked
over, letting Draco in by hand.
Hermione wondered if the ward on the door required his actual physical contact
to lower it.
Draco swanned
in with typical arrogant disdain. “Potter.” He
acknowledged, nodding brusquely. He
stopped when he saw Ron.
“What’s the weasel doing here? I thought
you didn’t want anyone to know?”
He seemed thrown off balance.
Ron squared his shoulders at him. “Shut
it, ferret.”
Draco’s eyes shot to Hermione for
a moment but she was looking at them all with worried preoccupation.
“I asked Ron to help just in case
he’s a bit more than we can handle, Malfoy” Harry said mildly.
“We’ll follow the same plan but me and Ron will stand
in a triangle instead of at a right angle and Ron will just stick to heavy
stunners. Ok?”
Draco hesitated and then nodded finally.
“Just make sure you know where
you’re aiming, Weasley” he sneered. “I hope you’re better with a wand now than
you were in school”
Ron snarled at him but Draco had
already turned away.
“Where are we leaving from?” he asked Harry.
Harry seemed to think for a
second. She got the impression he was
listening to something or paying attention to something she couldn’t perceive.
“The millbank
house is empty. We’ll leave from the
back garden accessway there” he said.
Draco nodded and started back
toward the door impatiently.
Harry turned to look at Ron and
then looked over to Draco. “Take Hermione
there and wait. I want to talk to Ron
for a minute, ok?” he
said quietly.
Draco snorted in irritation. “Fine. Come here mu-“ his eyes flicked for a second to Harry and back to her
“-uh.. Granger.”
Hermione narrowed her eyes at him but
complied reluctantly.
Absently, Harry held the door open for them both and closed it after they had
passed through.
Hermione walked uncomfortably down
the hotel-like corridors with Draco, who kept glancing at her every so often.
It was unnaturally quiet in the
manor, she noticed again.
A building like this should have people in it – there were so many rooms..so many doors..so many corridors.. but nothing
moved here.
“so.. um.. Malfoy..” she began
nervously. “How are you? I never got the chance to thank you for
rescuing me.”
Draco rolled his eyes.
“Don’t talk to me mudblood.” He snarled
quietly. She swallowed and looked
away. They walked the rest of the way in
silence, passing over a break in the carpet into a more old-fashioned and modest
hallway with stained wood panelling on the walls.
Draco walked her through a door
into what looked like an old fashioned scullery. They kept going and exited out a wooden back
door onto a porch.
It was raining outside, wherever they were.
The morning was dull with a flat grey drizzle.
“Great” she thought sarcastically looking down at her bare feet. “-that too.”
Draco watched her and then
summoned some leaves from the stoop and with some degree of concentrated
effort, managed to transfigure them into simple brown leather slippers.
She was impressed. It was a difficult
transfiguration with such flimsy wet dead biomatter.
“Thanks..” she said appreciatively as he dropped them
at her feet. He sniffed but didn’t say
anything, looking away across the garden instead while she slipped them
on. They fit perfectly.
Sounds from behind her told her
that Harry and Ron had joined them now.
She looked up and noticed Ron had a decisive determined set to his
shoulders. He stared at her with a
fierce protective expression and moved to stand close to her.
“Its all
going to be ok now Mione” he said very quietly, slightly aside from the other
two.
“Harry and I talked it over. I’ve thought about it and I do want us all to be together. I’m sorry for.. for last night.. I didn’t think..” he trailed off and
looked sheepish.
She felt a cold shiver run up her spine.
Turning, she saw Draco was looking at her with an unreadable expression.
His face blanked a half second
later.
She blushed and looked at the ground, embarrassed that Draco apparently now
knew that she was sleeping with both her best friends. He was certain to make some kind of horrible
comment at some point.
She didn’t have time to obsess
over it any further as Draco had strode over to her and grabbed her arm.
When she looked up Harry and Ron were gone.
She heard Harry’s voice. “Right.. I’ve got
the portkey here.”
A long piece of string appeared in the air and Draco took it from him,
taking her hand and wrapping it around both their wrists, tucking it then into
his fist.
“Ron, grab Mione and I’ll go
behind Draco. Soon as we get there – you
go left, right mate?”
Ron made a grunt of assent and she suddenly felt hands slide around her
waist.
A slight flinch from Draco told her that Harry had just touched him too. She thought about what Harry had said last
night and, noting the scandalised scowl and very slight angry blush appearing
on Draco’s face, wondered whether Harry might be..um..
copping a feel somehow.
“My waist is a
bit higher, Potter” Draco ground out, confirming it.
“Oh. Yeah..
sorry” Harry said, not sounding particularly sorry at
all.
Draco’s top lip turned up in
disgust and he shook his head angrily, turning to her and snarling. “whatever.. everyone hold on.”
The portkey activated and she felt her innards gripped and
yanked hard, pulling the rest of her after them.
