Chapter 1

Harry sighed in relief after talking to Sirius in the two way mirror and thanked Merlin for Hermione's sensible head. If not for her quick thinking then he wasn't sure what could have happened he could have walked into a trap and knowing his friends they would have followed and he would have put a whole lot of people he cared about in danger. Now the Order was alerted though so they would be extra aware with whatever they were guarding there. Harry still wanted to know what it was but not at the risk of running into death eaters.

Harry sat heavily in the common room as the thoughts of what he had almost done caught up with him and he caught himself looking at his friends and thinking of the danger they would have been in if he had not listened to Hermione. The rest of the day went without incident with him avoiding Malfoy and Umbridge glad that his detentions were finally over and that he hadn't received anymore his hand was still smarting from the last one. He was exhausted when he finally went to bed and only hoped for no Voldemort induced nightmares maybe snake face would stop if he realized that Harry had not fallen for his trap.

Harry was sleeping deeply with no dreams for once when he was abruptly awoken by his bed curtains being ripped open. He stared in horror at Malfoy and Umbridge's face as a stunner hit him and he lost consciousness.

Harry became aware of the world as the stunner wore off and had no clue as to where he was. All he remembered was his school rival and toad teacher standing over him and then hitting him with a spell. He looked around and found the place strangely familiar even though he was pretty sure that he had never been here before. It was then that he recognized the door he was being floated to and it was the same one from his dreams, the one Mr. Weasley had been guarding when he had been bitten by Nagina.

Harry was released from the spell and brought face to face with Malfoy Sr. "Hello, Potter so nice of you to join us," Lucius sneered.

Harry just stared at the man that had tried to kill him multiple times and remained quiet. He would not give the man the satisfaction of answering him he knew from prior experience how much Malfoys hated to be ignored from his son. He was rewarded for his silence with Malfoy getting a furious look on his face saying, "well maybe this will loosen you tongue, 'crucio'."

Harry refused to scream but did have a comment for the man when he was done, "is that the best you can do, at least when Tom crucios me it does more than tickle you're pathetic."

Harry almost laughed as Malfoy Sr. cheeks took on a pink tinge but regretted it a moment later when Lucius once again crucioed him. Harry happened to glance over at Malfoy Jr. and noticed that the boy was refusing to watch his father curse his school rival. It seemed that baby Malfoy couldn't stomach what his father was doing maybe Harry could use this to his advantage.

But before Harry could think on this though he was brought back to the present by Lucius. "Okay, enough playing Potter you are here for one reason only before the Dark Lord kills you. Surely you have been wondering about the prophecy?" he sneered.

When Harry didn't answer he became more infuriated and had to visibly restrain himself from cursing the whelp again he had to remind himself that there would be more time for that when they were done. Maybe his Lord would let him play with the boy before Lord Voldemort killed him. After all, the boy was quite the looker. He was small for his age and had this fragility more suited by a female while still being distinctly male. The contradiction intrigued him.

Malfoy Sr. quickly got back on track and he ordered Harry to retrieve the prophecy from the shelf. Harry refused and was cursed again for his refusal, this time sending a cutting curse, making Harry finally cry out, and followed it up with another crucio. While Harry was writhing on the ground in pain he happened to catch the eye of Malfoy Jr.

Draco was caught in horror of what he was seeing but not that Potter was looking him in the eye he couldn't look away. He found that he didn't want to look away either he would not belittle what Potter – no Harry was going through by turning away like a coward. He decided there that he could no longer go on as he had this was not what he had been told he was fighting for, to curse a child. He had always wanted to see his rival in pain but found that once it was a reality he couldn't stand it. And he inwardly marveled at the other's will. Even in as much pain and surrounded by the enemy the raven still had a look of defiance in his eyes and Draco could tell that he was a long way from broken and realized right there that he didn't want to see him so.

As he made his decision he glanced around the room and spotted a door at the end of the aisle that they could escape through. Before anyone could guess what was going through his mind he quickly stunned his father and helped Harry to his feet taking off running for the door half supporting the other boy as they ran.

Harry looked perplexed for a moment before remembering the expression on Malfoy's face as his father tortured Harry and almost sobbed in relief as he realized what the other boy was doing. They picked up the pace Harry standing on his own two feet as they heard the death eaters giving chase. Harry quickly took the lead making sure to keep pace with the other so he wouldn't leave him behind. He had no illusions as to what the death eaters would do to Draco after he had helped Harry try to escape.

They came to a circular room with revolving doors and picked one at random. Harry thinking of where the Order members could be weren't they supposed to be guarding this place but he had seen none so far and realized that they probable were not alive anymore. He chastised himself for not thinking of it earlier, but to be fair he was being tortured, and pulled out his mirror calling for Sirius.

"Pup where are you?" Sirius said frantically.

"At the ministry," panted Harry still running with Draco, "Umbridge is a death eater and kidnapped me, and Malfoy – Draco, he corrected himself so as not to confuse Sirius, "and I are running trying to get away."

"Wait, Draco Malfoy is with you?" Sirius asked confusedly.

"Now is not the time Sirius," Harry heard from the mirror and recognized Dumbledore as he took the mirror from Sirius. "We are on our way Harry just try to stay away from them for a few minutes longer. I never thought they would kidnap you to get to the prophecy. It was just a ploy to draw Voldemort out of hiding." Dumbledore finished.

"You mean I was brought here and tortured for a false prophecy," sputtered Harry furious at Dumbledore's manipulations.

All of a sudden Sirius came back in the mirror looking furious in the direciton the old man had disappeared in and told Harry to stay safe as he cut the connection to apparate to the ministry.

Harry and Draco came to a stop in a strange room with a dais that had a veil sitting on it. They stared at it then each other before making their way down the stairs at a slower pace now that they couldn't hear death eaters and knew that the Order was on their way.

They started as both entrances to the veil room burst open on end was the Order with Sirius in the lead and on the other was death eaters with Lucius heading. As one Harry and Draco quickly ran along the top of the dais directly above the veil to try to get out the way of the fighting parties.

All of a sudden the boys were brought to a stop by a warning shout as two stunners were thrown their was they didn't have time to dodge so Draco grabbed Harry to try to shield him and the last thing Harry heard before falling into the veil was Sirius anguished shout.

Where of where have our boys gone? Stay tuned to find out and please review. Thank you for reading.
