Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while but there has been a lot going on lately. Anyways, so I guess as you can see I decided to keep the story. I want to see this story get finished so that is what I am going to do. I am hoping for this story to be over 20 chapters before it is finished. Right now, I know it is moving slow but trust me, Hermione and Harry get their night alone. Finally. I hope y'all enjoy this chapter and please review! It means a lot to me!

Disclaimer: Nope... still don't own anything.

Now on with chapter 10!

Enjoy!

Harry's POV

"What's wrong mate?" Ron asks as i come storming through the door of the kitchen. I turn around to see all of the Weasley's in the room with me. I take a deep breath and start to speak.

"It's Hermione. While we were at the cottage, Belletrix and her gang came storming through the cottage and took her. She struggled against them and I tried to save her, but the hit me in the back of the head. I woke up this morning lying on the floor with a killer head ache. Now, I have a plan to get her out of Malfoy Manor alive but it is going to be risky and very dangerous." I pause to let this sink in.

"I'm in," Ron says automatically.

"Me too," Authur chimes in. Molly looks at him with a look of fear upon her face. He hugs her and whispers a couple soothing words to herr and she finally realxes and slowly releases her and we get down to business.

I lay out my plan for the two Weasley's and I make sure they know how to time so that we get Hermione out safely. At midnight, we will put our plan into action.

Hermione's POV

Slap! My head snaps to the left as yet another hand print is left on the right side of my face. I hear Belletrix laugh as she is clearly ammused by my distress. I keep my composer and just look straight forward, not caring how many times she slaps me.

"Do you think you're little boyfriend can save you without getting caught?" She sneers. I don't acknowledge her comment which only earns me another slap across the face.

"I asked you a question you mudblood slut!" She hisses. I glare at her but still not saying anything. She whips out her wand and jabs it at me.

"Crucio!" She hisses and sharps pains ripple through me body and I start jolting around in the chair I am tied to. I keep my lips sealed tight, determined not to give her the satisfaction of hearing me scream. Seeing that she isn't getting the desired results from me that she had hoped for, she abruptly stands up and punches me in the face, and that is all I remember as the world around me goes black. The last thing i hear is Bellatrix stomping her way up the steps and out of the dungeons.

Midnight

Harry's POV

Me, Aurthur, and Ron stand in the kitchen of the Burrow, ready to leave. Molly gives Aurthur a sweet kiss and gives me and Ron big hugs. She steps back and me at the two gingers link arms before apparating away with a loud pop!

We land in the center of the dungeons of the manor and I hesitate a moment, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness. Quickly, we start searching for Hermione. Unfortunately, getting in the dungeons was a one way trip. To get back we have to make it up the stairs before we can apparate out. Sounds easy, right?

About half way down, Aurthur spots Hermione amongst the darkness in one of the cells. She is drooped back in her chair, arms tied behind her and ankles tied to the legs of the chair. Aurthur slips into the cell and unties her before carefully picking her up and slipping back out of the cell.

"Right, now remember the plan. If we get up there and someone just happens to be waiting on us, Aurthur you will apparate Hermione out of her and get her to safety. Then get help from the aurors and tell them what is gpoing on. Me and Ron will stay and hold them off for as long as possible. Aurthur nods but doesn't seem too comfortable with the thought of leaving us alone to fight very skilled death eaters. I can't blame him either. After the death of Fred, it is has been hard for everyone and I know he doesn't want the same fate for us.

As quietly as we can, we sneak up the stairs that leads out of the dungeons and to the floor above. No sooner as we step foot out of the dungeons, are we ambushed by Bellatrix and Lucius. Just like we planned, Aurthur turns on the spot and with a loud crack, disappears with Hermione.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Bellatrix sneers. "Come to save your mudblood girlfriend I see," a smirk appears on her face. "She may have escaped alive but I can't say the same for you two." Bellatrix shoots a jinx towards me and I barely dodge it. I shoot a jinx back at her and with a lazy wave of her hand, my jinx hits the wall instead of my target. For a split second I glance over in Ron's direction. He seems to be holding Lucius off okay. Jinx after jinx flies through the air and I start to wonder if me and Ron are going to make it out of her alive. Just when I start to lose hope, Draco and Narcissa emerge from the hallway, wands drawn. Draco takes a stand next to me and Narcissa next to Ron. Draco points his wand at Bellatrix and Narcissa aims hers at Lucius.

"We are on your side," Draco says, not ever taking his eyes off of Bellatrix.

"What are you doing Draco?" Bellatrix asks in a sickly sweet voice.

"Shut up!" Draco snaps.

"Narcissa darling, what are you oing over there?" Lucius asks, pretending to add some sweetness to voice.

"Don't you even dare you bastard!" Narcissa hisses.

"Move aside Draco, now!" Bellatrix nearly yells.

"No!" Draco snaps back.

"Narcissa, move over here," Lucius orders and points to the spot next to him. Narcissa just gives him a stern look and doesn't make an attempt to move. Lucius grows more and more impatient as the seconds tick by.

Bellatrix, finally having enough, makes a move towards Draco and me...

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"
