Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter Characters, they are all owned by J.K Rowling.
I had an idea to do this story one day, and I'm actually enjoying writing it. It should be updated every month. Just like I've decided to update It's All Greek To Me and Estate Matters will be. So those of you who are enjoying those stories don't worry I will complete those stories. I've started work on each story during a different week.
This story is somewhat of an au. You'll have to disreguard the epilogue from DH and you'll have to disreguard the deaths of some of the characters that you know died. Well I hope you enjoy...
Six months had gone by since the defeat of Voldemort . Every death eater was caught and sent to Azkaban. There were some people who seem to have just vanished without a trace. It was assumed that people who went missing were in hiding due to their death eater status, or afraid of being accused of being a deatheater. Last but not least they were assumed to be dead. Although, Voldemort was indeed defeated and killed there was no doubt he still had many followers.
Inside what looked like a dungeon were three men who were chained. One had get black hair and blue eyes. The other had dirty blonde hair and green eyes, and third man had brown hair and hazel eyes. They had been there for six months. Neither of them had a clue as to why they were taken there. In school they had belonged to the house of the serpent but they were never death eaters. For six months they were beaten, and tortured and had no idea for the reason behind it. Every day they longed for death, it seemed like it would be forever. Little did they know that their luck was about to change.
Outside a rather large mansion that took them ages to find, hid two men. The mansion was marked as forbidden. It looked as if there had been no one there in ages. That was probably due to the fact the dead owner used to be the deranged death eater Bellatrix Lestrange. All dead death eater property was now off limits since the new ministry headed by Arthur Weasley , wanted no one trying to repeat the past.
"Draco the place hasn't been lived in ages, you think we're right about this?" asked the tall, mocha skinned man. The blond man looked to his friend and gave a hopeful sigh. "I'm pretty sure they are in there. My instinct tells me so."
"Ready to put the plan in action Blaise?" The two stared at each and nodded the okay. They decided not to use their wands or magic for fear of being detected. They would definitely have to be very cautious.
As they approached closer, they saw the flashings of light indicating that someone was in there. "It's bloody 2:00 am in the morning. Who on earth would be..." Blaise started, but it occurred to him that their feelings about the mansion were correct. There was definitely something wrong.
All of a sudden they heard a few cars driving and immediately ducked behind a couple of bushes that was near the entrance. It was wise for them to hide behind masks of camouflage and camouflage clothing as well. "This is really difficult without a magic." said Draco as he and Blaise watched the cars drive up to the mansion.
Three men with black mask covering their faces where carrying what looked to be like bodies. "You think this is where all the purebloods have been disappearing to?" asked Blaise.
Draco shrugged, " I don't know, but all I know is we have to get our friends out of there. It doesn't look good. I can't even tell if those bodies they're holding are dead or alive."
They made sure that everyone went inside and they kept very quiet. When the three men got in the house, Blaise pulled out the blueprint of the mansion. As he and Draco looked at the blueprint, he pointed to a sector in the back which showed a secret passage way. They both prepared themselves, each having a tazor gun to stay as quiet as possible, but each also had a shotgun incase the situations they in could be near fatal.
As they made their way through the entrance, Blaise made sure to look behind as Draco kept to the front. They were traveling to through dark halls. The stench was horrible. It smelled like a thousand rotting corpses. Although neither of them said anything, they were hoping that none of those corpses would be any of their friends.
They started to hear groaning voices. "I think I heard it coming from this way." said Draco. The noises kept getting clearer and clearer as they walked. Both of their hearts were beating rapidly. Each of them were getting excited and scared at the same time. Excited to find that their friends might be alive, but dreading to find them dead.
" Terrence..." Draco whispered as he looked through bars of the cells.
"Adrian, Marcus" Blaise whispered like Draco. They kept on moving.
Inside a cell were three men who had long since given up hope. They weren't tortured magically. They were beaten with whips day by day. The orders were issued by a man who wore a white mask, which very much resembled the mask of a death eater. " Your blood is pure, tell me what you know about the Intertwined!" the masked man would demand. None of the men could answer, since none of them knew what he was talking about. For months it had been like this. They'd be beaten for not coming up with an answer, and when they were strong enough to create a lie they got beaten for lying.
Draco and Blaise suddenly heard fast footsteps coming. They each hid in separate corners waiting for who ever it might be to pass them. As if on cue a masked man went right in front of Blaise and Blaise was able to grab him from behind.
"You see this" he held his gun in front of the man " This is worse than an Avada Kadevra."
Draco held his tazor gun out while Blaise threatened the man. " Now you are going to do what we tell you or else your head will explode into a thousand pieces." The man nodded and stayed silent.
"You will unlock the cells for Terrence Higgs, Adrian Pucey, and Marcus Flint. Is that understood?" said Draco and the man agreed.
The three cell mates heard footsteps coming. No not again they all thought. They had just been beaten earlier that day. They didn't know how or why they were still alive. Everyday they wished for death but it would not come. Now, here were the footsteps. These footsteps were associated with the merciless pain and humiliation they suffered.
"Lord, if you have any mercy..." whispered Adrian in despair. He and his friends had never been so helpless. They used to be the strongest boys while they attended Hogwarts. They even worked as double agents for the Order and helped in the defeat of Voldemort.
Yet here they were, in some unknown location. They all remembered the day that they had wound up in the dungeon. It was two days after the fall of the Dark Lord. They had been captured buy some masked figures none of them had recognized. They recognized a few other purebloods being taken as well. They did not understand it. Both men and women were being captured.
They heard the unlocking of the keys and anticipated their beating. They watched as the door open. "Alright free all three." they heard a familiar voice say.
"Draco?" Terrence whispered in surprise. Could this really be happening? Months of agonizing pain would finally be over.
When the masked man finally finished unlocking the chains for all three of them, Draco and Blaise assisted their former house mates to the way out. Blaise dragged the masked man out with them, threatening to blow his head off if he made sound.
Once they cautiously made their way far enough from the restricted mansion, Blaise held his wand out in front of the masked man. Before Blaise did anything, the masked man spoke " It will not be over. The beatings, kidnapping, and the bloodshed will continue until he finds the intertwined!" he laughed menacingly.
"Incarcerous" said Blaise as he waved his wand and the masked man was bound. They made their way into Draco's Hummer so as not be to detected by the enemies. They appeared to be just normal muggles driving in a car.
Blaise removed the mask from the wizard. " You Bloody Bastard!" he said in anger because he felt betrayed.
"Montague?" he questioned. Adrian, Terrence, and Marcus began to stir in anger as well.
"We were suppose to be friends. How the hell could you put them through that?" Draco questioned.
"How could I not. I was promised more power with the rising of the new dark power." he smirked feeling no remorse for his actions. "We're taking you to the ministry, they'll deal with you over there."
They made their way back to London with Terrence, Adrian, and Marcus hanging on for dear life. "You have to tell the ministry what happened" said Blaise. "Not just for your sake but for the sake of all purebloods and muggles alike."
As they made their way into the ministry many eyes of wizards were upon them.
Inside the ministers office Hermione, and Ginny were having a heated argument with Mr. Weasley. " Dad! Angelina, Katie, and Alicia have been missing for almost a week now!" bellowed Ginny "And no one is doing anything about it!"
"Sweetheart, they probably just went on vacation. Playing professional quidditch can take a toll on the body." replied Mr. Weasley with an uneasy smile.
"That's just the problem minister no one saw them leave after the game they just disappeared!" replied Hermione trying to control her anger.
There was a banging of the door and with that, Draco appeared with Montague still tied up. Adrian, Marcus, and Terrence were finding it hard to move.
"Heavens!" cried Ginny as she made her way towards the three injured men . "Why didn't you take them to St. Mungos?" she questioned angrily.
"Well they wanted to come here. They wanted to be the proof that there is still danger out there. They were beaten for months at Bellatrix Lestrange old mansion in France. We found them in a dungeon." replied Blaise.
"That's impossible we would have detected magic coming from those grounds." replied Mr. Weasley. A turn of the door knob was heard.
"Impossible Indeed." said the voice of charming man. He had dark brown hair, pale skin and eyes that were almost black.
"Ah, Kear. Gentlemen, this is Kear Thomson my right hand man and advisor." explained Mr. Weasley.
"Look it's nice to meet you Kear, but we were talking about the possibility of danger." explained Draco.
Kear smiled "Gentlemen, I assure there is nothing to worry about. There was no magic detected on the estate of the former death eater. Therefore there is no danger."
Adrian was angry " DOES THIS LIKE NO DANGER TO YOU?" he lashed out and took of his shirt which showed scars from the many lashings he received. Ginny tried to sit him back down to calm himself.
"They've been missing for months , and if it we didn't find them in Bellatrix's mansion they might have still been missing." stated Blaise.
Kear smiled a twisted smile " I'm sorry did you say that you two found them in her mansion?"
Blaise and Draco nodded.
"Oh well I see, then that would mean that you have trespassed. So we may have to lock you up." he said.
"As the person who decides the fate of those people, I say other wise. Like you said there was no magic used so they couldn't have done anything illegal. Therefore, I'm letting them off with a warning!" Hermione stated angrily.
"Minister, we've come here to warn you. It's not only muggleborns that are in danger, it's also purebloods. We were in that mansion and we smelled a lot of rotting corpses. You have to do something about it!" stated Draco.
"What does he have to do with this?" asked Ginny as she looked into Montague's direction.
"He's working for the person who did this to them!" Blaise replied to Ginny.
"Tell us exactly what's going on?" she demanded from Montague.
"Sorry, sweet cheeks but I can't. Fidelius charm and all. Secret's safe with me." he smiled wickedly. This irritated Marcus and he lurched his way to punch him.
"Minister, this isn't a coincidence this could have something to do with Angelina, Katie, and Alicia being missing as well!" explained Hermione.
"Oh you must be referring to the chasers of the Harpies." said Kear. " Sorry to tell you but they're dead." he said as he handed them a paper.
A guard came in, and escorted Montague to take him to Azkaban. As Hermione read the paper she started to sob. "This is a lie!" she began " THEY CAN'T BE DEAD!" she handed the paper over to Ginny.
"What the hell would they be doing in a plane when they can apparate? I'm not buying this!" she said as tears started to run down to her face.
Draco took the subject off of the chasers, " WELL? Minister are you going to something about this or not!"
" Look there is no proof of any real danger Mr. Malfoy. It would be waste to send the aurors on a wild goose chase." said Kear.
"I wasn't speaking to you Mr. Thomson I was talking to the minister." spat Draco back in frustration. Who the hell did this guy think he was acting like the minister of magic.
"I'm afraid he's right Draco, we just don't have enough proof ." said Mr. Weasley.
"I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Our scars our bruises! Many people have gone missing and yet you want proof!" bellowed Terrence.
"Alright, we'll remember this. I don't know what's become of you minister you were doing such a magnificent job. Remember, the next time that you need any of us, we won't be there!" bellowed Marcus. With that Blaise and Draco apparrated the three injured men to St. Mungos vowing never to have anything to do with the ministry and the old members of the Order.
Three months had gone by, and everyone had accepted the deaths of Angelina, Katie, and Alicia. That is everyone except for Ginny and Hermione.
Fred had move on from his grief and began dating someone else, as did George and Oliver. This caused Hermione and Ginny to become angry. Not angry at the fact that the men had been dating other people but the fact that everyone was moving only to prove that the three chasers were really dead.
One night while next to Ron, Hermione was tossing and turning. As she slept images of Katie, Angelina, and Alicia came into her mind. " I don't know what you're talking about!" said a shaking Katie in her dream. " Get off her, Get off her!" screamed Angelina. " No Stop! Stop! Please Stop It!" shrieked Alicia"
"Stop It! Get off Her! STOP!" screamed Hermione as she jolted up from her bed with beads of sweat on her head.
"Mione, what's the matter?" Ron asked as he rubbed his girlfriend's back. " They haunt my dreams. I just have this gut feeling that they aren't dead."
"Oh Mione, you and Gin have got to come to terms with this. We know that the five of you were close and all, but you've got to move on." Ron said trying to comfort her.
A few seconds later Ginny popped into their apartment accompanied by Harry. " Sorry mate, Ginny wanted to see Hermione. She's had trouble sleeping."
"Oh that's alright, I'm sure Mione won't mind the company she hasn't been sleeping either." replied Ron.
Ginny made her way up to Hermione and hugged her friend. " Mione, I've been having these weird dreams. " she began " I don't see their faces, but I hear their voices and see objects around them."
"Well, I see their faces Ginny. In my dreams they're being tortured, and praying for help" she said as tears fell from her eyes.
Ginny and Hermione came downstairs, and sat across the table from Harry and Ron " Look Harry, you have to help us find them." said Ginny pleading.
Harry was exhausted. "Gin, they were in an accident they're dead. Honey I know it's hard to accept but you'll just have to.
"But they could be in danger!" wailed Hermione pleading with her boyfriend and Harry.
"There's no danger, my scar doesn't hurt! Everyone is safe, especially with your father being the head of the ministry." he explained.
"My father's not the same anymore. Ever since he got that idiot Kear Thomson as his right hand man." spat Ginny.
" Ginny, I'm sure your father knows what he's doing" replied Harry but Ginny was more than upset.
"I know why you want to believe that everything is okay. It's cause you don't want to fight anymore!" exclaimed Ginny. This caused Harry to get angry.
"Damn, right I don't want to fight anymore Ginny! I've been fighting for seven years. Everything is right with the world. MY SCAR DOESN'T HURT!" he bellowed causing Ginny to stay silent.
Hermione on the other hand wasn't going to take it sitting down. " WELL HAS IT OCCURED TO YOU THAT MAYBE IT DOESN'T HURT BECAUSE YOUR BLOOD ISN'T CONNECTED TO THE NEW DANGER!" she screamed.
"WELL IF THERE'S NEW DANGER THEN HAVE SOMEONE NEW FIGHT IT!" Harry roared.
"FINE!" both Hermione and Ginny said in unison. With that Harry apparated out and Ron apparated after him. The girls stared at each other in silence
Ginny and Hermione stared at each other. "Do you want to fight it?" asked Ginny breaking the silence.
Hermione pondered for a moment. " How Gin? We don't know where to start. Besides it's just the two of us we can't do this buy ourselves. Not to mention the ministry will think we're nutters. Your own father doesn't take us seriously anymore."
"Well what about Montague, he's in Azkaban right? How about we start with him?" questioned Ginny.
"Gin, your father doesn't want us near that place. Besides I'm not sure I really trust anyone with this but us. I especially don't want Kear Thomson knowing about this. Something about him just rubs me wrong." explained Hermione.
"You're right the man's an idiot. If he'd never gotten appointed you and I would probably be doing our auror things right now. " said Ginny. Resenting the fact that her father thought it would be best for her and Hermione to stay out of auror work for a while.
"Well we've already tried Harry and Ron." said Hermione " And you saw how well that went." she finished sarcastically.
"That's alright, I don't want to tell Harry and Ron anyway. They think that everything is fine. They obviously don't want to fight a battle if they don't have to. I never realized just how selfish Harry could be." Ginny pouted.
"Yeah, I agree. Besides they might tell the ministry and they might slower our investigation. Let's try to come up with something." said Hermione.
The 18 and the 17 year old racked their heads together. The plan that they came up was sort of uncertain. They were the only people that they thought might be able to help them find their friends.
At a large estate, in London. Five men were playing a game of billiards. "Draco, Blaise we can't thank you enough for holding our properties for us while we were missing." stated Marcus.
The men had fully recovered within three months time. The scars were easily removed by magic, since they were not wand inflicted. They were back to their strong selves again. Neither of them ever wanted to remember the ordeal that they had gone through during the six months that they had been missing. They were quite content living the life that they had.
As the five men went on with their game, the lights in the billiard room started flickering. " I wonder what that is?" questioned Terrence as he looked at what was happening to the lights in his home.
The large doors to his home swung open and two hooded figures wearing black robes entered the home. "Accio Wands" they heard a voice whisper loudly and all five of their wands landed in one of the hands of one of the hooded figures.
"Not this again." said Adrian putting his hands in a fist ready to attack.
All five men were ready to attack the two figures but one of the figures was much to fast for them. "Incarcerous" whispered one of the figures and Blaise, Terrence, Draco, Marcus and Adrian were all bound.
"WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!" roared Blaise.
"We are not leaving until we get what we need from you." one of the figures said in a eerie whisper.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?" demanded Draco.
The two hooded figures took down their hoods. The men looked at them in utter shock.
"WEASLEY? GRANGER?" said Draco.
