Intense Amount of Pain and Love

Chapter 3: Disaster Strikes

Draco watched as Nott Sr. rushed into the dining room, panting.

"Sir, we think we have a lead on them. There's an abandoned house in downtown London that some of our deatheaters saw two aurors enter a number of times but no one ever comes out." Nott Sr. said.

"Is it them, though? Have we finally found them?" The Dark Lord's voice rasped from the far end of the table.

"We're not completely sure, master. But we have a feeling it is." Nott Sr. replied. Voldemort nodded, thoughtfully stroking his chin.

"Young Malfoy, I want you to take a group of deatheaters and go to this area to see if it really is them." Voldemort hissed to Draco.

"Yes, of course, m' lord." Draco replied, bowing his head respectfully.

"Nott Jr. , Young Zabini, Young Crabbe, Young Goyle, And Miss Parkinson; I want you all to go with Draco to downtown London." Voldemort said, nodding to the group of teenagers, who quickly replied in unison with 'yes sir'.

Draco stood up from the table, pulling his hood further over his face, and left the dining room, with his friends from his school years following behind him.

"What do you think we'll find, Drake?" Blaise Zabini asked him.

"Hopefully them." Draco snarled his voice cold and his face neutral. Blaise nodded.

"That would be good. Then we wouldn't have to keep searching for the gits. I'd certainly like to have my fun with that Weasley girl and the mudblood." Theodore Nott said, licking his lips. Draco rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn't touch Granger if my life depended on it." Draco muttered, thoroughly disgusted with Nott's comment.

"You've got to admit she's a nice piece of- '' Draco never heard the rest of Nott's sentence as he apparated to Leaky Cauldron with a 'pop'. He heard the others appear behind him. Leaky Cauldron was now owned by Voldemort. It used to be one of the best inns in London, till Voldemort took control.

Draco left the inn, heading to downtown London. The others followed behind him. He could hear Zabini and Nott arguing over who was finer; Weaselette, or Granger. He rolled his eyes.

They arrived at an abandoned house, like Nott Sr. had described. Draco couldn't help but wonder why the fools would hide somewhere right in town.

They crept silently up to the front door, trying to listen to see if they could hear the ex-Gryffindor trio. Draco heard raised voices.

"THE CHARM IS OFF?!"

"Yes, when Dumbledore died, it released the charm and so now, muggles and wizards alike can see Grimmauld. Oh, Merlin, I can't believe I forgot!"

"It's them. I just heard Granger and Weasel." Draco snarled, pulling out his wand and blasting open the door. Granger, Weasley and Weaselette stood in the entrance hall, their mouths dropping open.

"Shit!" Weasley cursed.

"We've found them. Oh, Merlin, will the Dark Lord be pleased." Draco smirked as he stared down at the two Weasleys' and the mudblood who glared at him.

"Malfoy." Granger snarled.

"Why hello Granger. What a pleasure to see you again." Draco said in a mockingly sweet voice. "Won't you come with me? My Lord would like to see you too."

Granger scowled and raised her wand, pushing the Weasley's behind her some. Draco couldn't help but notice that Granger had gotten a lot prettier since school. He didn't think it was possible. Of course, she was still the mudblood Granger he knew and hated.

"Get out of here, Malfoy." Granger growled. Draco knew she obviously didn't think that her words would make him leave when he had orders to fulfill.

"I don't think so, Mudblood." Draco snarled. "I have orders to bring you three back. Like I said, the Dark Lord will be very pleased to see you."

"We're not going anywhere, Malfoy." Weaselette sneered. Draco had a funny feeling that the trio were stalling for time. He snapped his fingers.

"Crabbe, Goyle; take them." He muttered. Before either Crabbe or Goyle could make a move, the door was flung open once more and two aurors walked in. Draco recognized one as Remus Lupin, the werewolf that taught Defence Against the Dark Arts back in third year, and the other he didn't recognize.

"Stupefy!" Lupin called and Crabbe froze. He called out again, the spell now hitting Goyle. Draco did the only logical thing he could think of. He grabbed Granger, and held his wand to her throat.

"If that's how you wanna play it, werewolf, than this is how we'll play it." Draco snarled, glaring at the two aurors. Granger didn't struggle as he held one arm around her slim waist, holding her arms behind her back and the other around her neck with the wand digging into her neck.

"Let her go, Mr. Malfoy." Lupin said calmly.

"No, not until you drop your wand, werewolf. Same goes for the chick in pink." Draco said, tilting his head to the other auror.

"Okay, Mr. Malfoy. I'm putting down my wand now." Lupin said, and slowly bent toward the ground, ignoring Granger's head shaking side to side, trying to tell him not to do it.

"He's a liar, sir. He won't do as you ask. He's a deatheater and a Malfoy." Granger snarled, and yelped as Draco dug the wand harder into her neck. Lupin dropped his wand to the ground, and motioned for his partner to do the same. Draco nodded to Zabini as soon as the pink-haired girl's wand was on the ground. Zabini and Nott both grabbed Lupin and the pink girl. Parkinson reached over and grabbed Weaselette harshly.

Weasley had his wand pointed at Draco. "Let Hermione go, Malfoy." He growled. Draco raised his eyebrows.

"Protecting your mudblood, are you Weasel? Well, you're doing a horrible job at it. Threatening the deatheater who has her level with a wand. Two words from me Weasel and her life is over." Draco threatened, smirking. Weasley dropped his wand a bit, panic coming over his face.

"You wouldn't kill her; your lord wants her." Weasley snarled. Draco pretended to think.

"Maybe so, but that doesn't mean I can't cause her excruciating pain, Weasel." Draco said, smiling sickly. Finally, Weasley lowered his wand. Draco removed his wand from Granger's throat long enough to revive Goyle and Crabbe. As soon as the two blokes were up, he nodded to Weasley and they walked over and roughly grabbed Weasley's arms.

At Draco's signal, they apparated out of the abandoned house, and appeared in Riddle Manor. Right in the dining room.

"Ahh, Young Malfoy! You have found them!" Draco heard a raspy voice exclaim and turned with Granger still held tightly in his arms, to face his Lord.
