A/N: Hey Guys, thank you for the reviews on the last chapters!! And thanks heaps to my Beta WickedDiSaster!!

Chapter Eight

As soon as he was sure that there was no one around, Draco made his way back down to the dungeon, he stopped at the bottom of the stairs when he heard Granger crying. In all the time she had been here, she had never cried; she had tears of pain in her eyes, she had screamed, but never once had she wept.

He stood there for a moment not knowing what to do, he cleared his throat, and she turned around to face him, her cheeks tear streaked and her eyes deep wells of pain. And then he did something he had never done; it was as if entering her cell early that day had broken the barrier between them because without thinking about it, he walked over to the cell, opened the door and went to her.

Hermione stiffened as he sat and awkwardly wrapped his arms around her, he started to think that he had done the wrong thing, and after a minute he was about to take his arms away but then she relaxed into him, her tears still falling silently down her face.

He couldn’t stay there for long, it was too risky, if anyone came and found them like that he would be locked in here with her too. No, he realised, he would be killed; they had no use for a Death Eater turned traitor, not even Lucius Malfoy’s son. The only reason Granger was still alive was because they were hoping to use her to lure Harry out.

He slowly pulled his arms from around her and stood to leave, before he turned away and walked back out of the cell and up the stairs, he whispered one word to her, “Tonight”.

For the remainder of the afternoon Draco fretted over how the escape would go, he was fairly certain that it would go off without a hitch, but he didn’t have a clue what he would do if they were caught.

He got everything that they might need, including a strengthening potion for Hermione; they would never make it if she couldn’t walk without help. He shrunk a small tent and a few other essentials and put them into the pocket of his robes that wasn’t holding his wand.

He suddenly wondered where Hermione’s wand was, and whether he could get it without anyone realising. ‘The drawing room’ he remembered, ‘Granger’s wand is in the desk drawer’. He couldn’t think of any reason why anyone would be looking in the drawer in the near future, so he figured that it would be safe enough to get it; and it would be a huge advantage for them both to have wands.

He nodded at the few people he passed on the way to the drawing room, as he reached the door to the room he made sure that there was nobody around as he entered.

The wand was right where he expected it to be, sitting on top of a pile of papers, he was relieved that things were working out well so far, now he only needed to wait until the manor was quiet so they could leave undetected.

* * *

Hermione also spent the afternoon worrying about the coming night; however, unlike Draco, she was more worried about what they would do after they managed to escape the manor.

Would the headquarters of the Order still be at Grimmauld Place? Or had they moved locations? She wasn’t even sure how long she had been held prisoner, were they out there looking for her? Even if she found them, how many things would have changed since she was taken?

Harry was obviously still alive or she would most likely be dead already; but any number of the other members could have been killed or captured since she had been taken hostage.

She was brought out of her thoughts when she heard feet hurrying down the staircase towards her. She stiffened as she waited for them to appear, relaxing when she saw that it was Draco. Then she realised that they really were about to get out of here; it was actually happening, her heart rate sped with anticipation of being free.

The bars rattled as Draco pulled the door of the cell open, and motioned for her to come out, he kept his eyes turned to the stairs, making sure no one had followed him down. Hermione stood carefully on shaky legs and stumbled her way to the door, she bit her lip; how would they make it out if she couldn’t even walk?

Just before she reached him she stumbled on the uneven floor, letting out a noise of surprise as she fell. Draco whipped his head around when he heard her gasp and instinctively stepped forward and caught her before she could hit the ground.

Hermione felt her cheeks heat with the humiliation of it, but Draco, to his credit, just settled her on her feet and ushered her out of the cell, acting like nothing had happened.

“Here” He said, holding out a vial of potion “It’s a strengthening potion” He explained when he saw her looking at it warily.

Hermione took the potion from him and sniffed the contents cautiously, she then took a small sip, tasting it before swallowing all of it; satisfied that it was indeed a strengthening potion.

“Thank you” She said handing him back the vial, she felt the potion start to spread through her muscles and she found that she was no longer shaking just from the effort of standing. She was relieved that she wouldn’t ruin their escape because of how weak she had become.

Hermione cleared her throat, trying not to seem nervous, ‘this is no harder than some of the missions you have been on before’ she scolded herself, ignoring the fact that she had always been in excellent shape on all her missions. She had also always had a well thought out, foolproof plan, ‘well, almost foolproof’’ she thought as she recalled her capture.

“Right” She said seriously, looking Draco in the eye, “How are we going to do this?”

* * *

Draco hurried down the stairs to Granger’s cell; he pulled his wand out as he reached the bottom and kept his eye on the stairs as he moved towards the cell door. He swung the door open and indicated for Hermione to come out.

He needed to get a grip on himself, he was too nervous; he reminded himself that no one was expecting anything, and so the likelihood of anything going wrong was slim. He glanced back at Hermione when he heard her gasp and quickly caught her.

He was extremely glad that he had brought her a strengthening potion, as he wasn’t sure they would be able to make it without it. When he had settled her on her feet again he pulled out the vial.

“Here” he said as he was handing her the potion, “It’s a strengthening potion” he explained. He watched as she cautiously tested it, before swallowing it all. She grew visibly stronger before his eyes, the shaking in her limbs stopped and she drew herself up, straightening her posture.

“Thank you” She said, the potion clearly hadn’t strengthened her nerves as her voice was shaking.

She cleared her throat, “right” she said, looking him in the eye, “How are we going to do this?”

Draco pulled her wand from his pocket and handed it to her. Her mouth dropped open slightly and suddenly she had flung herself on him.

“Goddess, thank you, so much! I thought I would have to get a new one for sure” She gushed, her hand clamped tightly around the wand.

“Well, we have a much better chance of getting out of here if both of us have wands, I’m glad it hadn’t been moved since you were brought in, or I wouldn’t have known where to look for it.” Draco replied.

The first thing she did after releasing her hold on him was cast a ‘Scurgify’ over herself, before she repaired her bra and shirt. Draco looked away, ashamed at having exposed her so indecently to the other men.

“I’m going to Disillusion you” He explained to her, “and then you will follow me, if you see anyone, stop moving so that they won’t see anything suspicious.”

Draco knew that he wasn’t good enough at Disillusionment Charms to render her completely invisible, but he thought that he was good enough that she would be at least camouflaged enough to avoid being seen if she stopped moving when other people were around.

He cast the charm over her and he saw her shiver at the feeling of cold liquid trickling over her as she almost disappeared from view. Draco grimaced at his effort, he could still see clearly see her outline, even when she was standing completely still, despite the fact that she was the same colour as the room behind her.

Draco cleared his throat, “You, ah, you wouldn’t happen to be proficient at Disillusionment Charms would you?” He asked her embarrassed at his attempt at the charm and at having to ask her to do it for him.

Hermione grinned and laughed at him, removing the charm from herself, “It’s like this,” she said before showing him how to correctly cast the charm with the desired results. Draco watched as she disappeared from view completely. The only time he could see her was when she was moving, and even then it was just a faint glimmer, almost like hot air radiating of heated ground, he doubted anyone would notice unless they were specifically looking.

“Ok, just follow me. You’ll have to stop if we see anyone, just in case” he paused before adding, “and if someone realises what is happening; run, don’t wait for me. Just get yourself off the grounds and disapparate.”

Draco didn’t like the feeling he got when he thought of her disapparating without him, and not just because he would have to go on the run without protection from the Order; but because he didn’t like the thought of being away from her; he shook the thought away quickly, before he could think too much about it.

“Alright, we better get moving, follow me, and don’t make a sound.” Draco said quietly and turned to walk up the stairs.
