Chapter 1: Breakout
Draco's P.O.V
"TELL ME, WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?" she screamed at Hermione, waving the sword of Gryffindor in front of her face. I winced, even though I was far out of Bellatrix's reach.
Hermione sobbed, even harder, "I-don't-know..."
"LIAR!" Bellatrix yelled, as she dug her knife even deeper into Hermione's cheek. I could now see blood trickling down her face, mixing in with her tears.
Earlier this evening, Fenrir Greyback had sent a message that he and his "snatcher" gang had captured Potter, Weasel-bee and Granger. Bellatrix had arrived at my parents' house moments later. Fenrir had marched into the room, half dragging, half carrying, Hermione. Potter and Weasel walked in after him, with grim expressions on their face. The remaining snatchers brought up the rear. Harry and Ron were put in the dungeons after Bellatrix decided she wanted to have a one-on-one, "girl talk", with Hermione.
Another, shrill scream of Hermione's interrupted my thoughts and I decided that I had to do something quick. I couldn't stand all this. All I needed was a distraction.
"HERMIONE!" Ron yelled, as he and Harry sprinted up the stairs. They had managed to escape the dungeons with Harry, somehow, waving Wormtail's wand in his hand.
He yelled, "Expelliarmus", and Bellatrix's wand flew out of her hand and into Ron's.
Bellatrix pulled Hermione's hair up with one hand, causing Hermione with no option but to stand, while Bellatrix held her knife out in front of Hermione's throat.
"Stop!" she said to Ron and Harry, who were attempting to stun her. They froze immediately, not wanting Bellatrix to hurt Hermione even more. I, on the other hand, sank deeper into the shadows. I did not want to get involved in this fight.
"Stop, or else she dies", Bellatrix repeated. "Draco, collect Potter's wand", she sneered.
I snapped out of my escape plans when I heard my name. I stepped out of the shadows and made my way to Potter. I stopped in front of him and looked up into his emerald eyes for any sign of understanding. Green met gray and he gave me a slight nod. Good, that was all I needed.
I walked back to Bellatrix and stood a few feet away from her, holding the two wands. Bellatrix was in the middle of saying something else when she stopped suddenly. There was a noise and all our heads snapped upwards. Something was wrong with our chandelier hanging right above Bellatrix and Hermione. It sounded like someone was trying to unscrew it from the ceiling.
My thoughts were correct as I began to see what was going to happen in a matter of seconds. It was now or never. The next few things happened in a blur: the chandelier began to fall; seconds before it did, I quickly tossed Bellatrix and Wormtail's wand to Harry; Bellatrix threw Hermione onto the ground, jumping out of the way to save her own life; I sprinted to Hermione carried her out of harm's way; Out of the corner of my eyes, I could see Harry and Ron dueling Bellatrix and my dad; My mom lay on the ground, her blond hair splattered across her face.
I glanced at Harry, concern in my eyes. He nodded, again, and resumed his fight with my aunt. I carefully picked up Hermione when a Stunning spell flew past my ear. I had to hurry. When she was safely in my arms, I turned on the spot, disapparating. But not before taking one last look at Ron and Harry, and watching them disapparate, too.

A.N. Okay, so this chapter was super short. I promise I'll make the other chapters longer. Please comment and review on what I have done so far. If you have any ideas...you can send me a message. ^^
