Just when the two hour deadline was about to end and Dennis was pulling out his bowie knife to get ready and cut off one of Hannah's fingers, the front door opened. Luna was standing in the doorway with her hands in front of her as if to indicate that she wasn't armed. Shock came into her blue eyes as she took in the sight of Hannah's face and the bruises on her friend's arms and legs.

"What did you do to her?"

"I gave her a sample of what you are going to get as soon as we get to Rio and I make you all mine. Where's the money I asked for?"

"In my pocket, which I will give to you as soon as you let Hannah go."

A malicious smile came over Dennis' face as he watched Luna negotiate for Hannah's release. He then cut the rope that was holding her to the chair, put the knife back in the sheath he had on his belt, pulled his gun out of his pocket, aimed it with one hand at Luna and motioned Hannah to leave out the open door. The woman ran over to where Luna was still standing and went passed her out the front doror when Dennis noticed something weird about Luna. She was getting taller, her features more masculine, her hair shorter and turning darker.

Before he could pull the trigger and shoot Neville Longbottom, who had taken polyjuice potion to disguise himself as Luna, a fist came out of nowhere and knocked him to the ground. Harry Potter threw off his invisibility cloak and held out his wand before Dennis could grab his gun and fire it.

"I don't think so, you little shit!" Harry screamed when he saw Dennis trying to grab his gun anyway. He hit him with a stunning curse that didn't seem to work, neither did the body bind curse that Neville hit him with. Dennis was about to shoot Harry when a loud blast came from the doorway and Dennis collapsed to the floor, blood pouring from the gunshot wound in his chest. Standing in the doorway was Amber, holding her service pistol that had been charmed to work when she had first gotten to the Ministry that morning.

Harry gave her a grateful look as he quickly apparated Dennis to St. Mungo's to try and save his life so the piece of garbage could stand trial. While Neville rushed outside to his hysterical wife, who threw herself into his arms and started to sob like her heart was breaking.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"No! He raped me, Neville!" By the time she had finished, Hannah was to the point of screaming. She was then swept into her husband's arms and he apparated her to St. Mungo's. Ron, who had overheard what had happened, clenched his fists in anger before joining Amber in the house, who had on a pair of gloves and was using a magical camera to take pictures before bagging the items in Dennis' coat.

"Good shot, Detective Finnegan. I thought our wands were dangerous but those muggle guns make them look tame compared to the damage those bloody things can do."

"Thanks. I'm glad we stopped Neville from rushing over here when that letter arrived at Malfoy Manor two hours ago. Who knew that Draco Malfoy would have that potion already brewed for us to use because from what Seamus told me, it takes a month for that stuff to be ready once you start it."

"Well that was what that git was good at when we were in school and throwing insults as well as being a hateful bully," Ron stated, grimacing before giving Amber a serious look that scared her. "You might want to process the bedroom as well."

"Why?"

"Hannah just told Neville that Dennis raped her."

Amber took a deep shuddering breath as she processed what he had just told before starting to speak. "Let me get started in there. Is the rest of your team on their way?"

"Kyle and Brian are outside, I'll get them to finish in here before coming into the bedroom to help you. I'm going back to Malfoy Manor to inform them that we have him and my children and my nieces and nephews can be sent home in the morning." He then grimaced as if thinking about something distasteful. "I have a feeling Luna is going to stay there until she gets everything figured out, although I don't understand what someone as smart as Luna could ever see in that prat."

"Ron, maybe you need to put aside all of stuff that happened in the past and listen to what Hermione told you back at the Malfoy's. There is something that most people don't know. Something that Luna has only told Ginny and most and likely your wife and there is a possibility that you don't have the whole story. So don't make quick judgments without knowing all of the facts first."

"I know that you are right but there is something about dealing with Malfoy that takes me back to Hogwarts. That makes me remember every horrible thing he has ever done and I can't get past it. Although after spending time with his son, I have to admit he has done a good job of raising him."

"So that shows even the most evil little creeps that bully other children in school can learn their lesson and try to do things differently with their children."

Kyle and Brian walking into the house put an end to their conversation and Ron instructed them on what he wanted them to do before stepping outside to apparate back to Malfoy Manor.

Luna was sitting serenely on the chaise in the parlor, talking quietly with Ginny and Hermione. She would glance up every so often and watch Draco, who was pacing the room, irritated at the fact that he had been forced to stay behind. The other members of the Weasley family who had been at the meeting had either gone home or went upstairs to get the children into their assigned rooms. Lucius and Narcissa had retired to their quarters, both wanting to rest after the long day that everybody had been forced to endure. While the others that had arrived for the meeting had all left to go home.

After watching him pace for a few more seconds, Luna got up and walked over to where he was now looking out the window. It had gotten dark and the sky was full of stars but she could see that he was so full of tension that even the view from the window couldn't calm him down. She came up behind him and touched him gently on the shoulder, which eased the tension in his back almost instantly.

Hermione and Ginny looked at each other before getting up to leave the room and check on their children. Hermione put up a charm so they could have some privacy before the two women left the room and closed the door behind them.

"I know that you are angry about staying here while Neville, who isn't an Auror, got to go and try to stop Dennis. You do realize that their plan would have never worked if it wasn't for you, if you wouldn't have had Polyjuice Potion on hand for Neville to go in disguised as me. So even though you aren't there in person, you are just as much of hero as the others."

"I know, Luna." He ran his fingers through his thinning hair and turned face her, her serenity easing the irritation he was feeling at being left behind. "I just hate not being there to teach Dennis Creevy a lesson he won't soon forget."

"I think he will be suffering if Neville gets a hold of him. I have never seen him that angry in the 22 years that I have been friends with him. He looked mad enough to kill Dennis and not feel an ounce of regret doing it."

"I just wish somebody would let us know what is going on and if their plan worked to catch him. I just want to be able to tell my son in the morning that the man who murdered his mother is dead and won't come after him too."

"I want the same thing for Lysander and Lorcan. Can you believe that Rolf and Astoria were so careless that on two separate occasions their children witnessed them in intimate moments with each other?"

Right after the owl had arrived with Dennis' letter, the plans had been made to save Hannah and everybody had left or gone upstairs to rest, Draco and Luna had brought their sons downstairs. Then along with Lucius and Narcissa, discussed just what the three of them had known about the affair.

Scorpius had proceeded to tell his father that a year earlier he had walked into his mother's suite in the manor and witnessed his mother and Mr. Scamander having sex. The only reason he had known what they were doing was from when his grandmother had just recently told him about sex because he had asked her to tell him. After he had told them that, Lorcan had spoken up and told his mother about him and Lysander seeing their father and Mrs. Malfoy doing the same thing in Rolf's and Luna's bed right before school had started this past summer.

"If Tori was alive right now, she would be getting told off for her behavior. To let herself get into a situation where her ten year old sees her having sex with someone who isn't his father. I'm just glad my mother, who has been wonderful with Scorpius and doing the things Tori was supposed to, talked to him already about that so it didn't affect him too bad. But for her to put our child in that situation was down right bloody stupid on her part."

"Rolf could be thoughtless like that. Most of the time he cared about no one but himself and acted like he didn't even have children that he was responsible for and needed him in their lives. When it came to discussions about what father's needed to teach their sons, I would send them over to Harry's and he would talk to the two of them along with James and Albus."

"It sounds like we made horrible choices in spouses and need to make a better one the next time," he stated, looking at her and smiling at the blush coming across his cheeks. "I wish I hadn't of been such a coward and interrupted your wedding to Scamander, instead of dating and marrying the first willing witch I could find to try and take my mind off of you."

"I wish I would have went with my first instincts to call off the wedding instead of letting my father's misguided attempts to help me sway my opinion. I also should have went back into that office at the Ministry party and finished what we had started that night."

Draco leaned towards her with the intention clear on his face that he was going to kiss her and she held her hands onto his chest to stop him. He gave her look of confusion and hurt that broke Luna's heart to see it.

"We need to take things slowly, Draco and kissing less than forty eight hours after the death of our spouses isn't respectful to their memories, even if they didn't have the same regard for us. Our children don't deserve the ridicule they will face if we rush into to a relationship without taking the appropriate amount of time to grieve Rolf and Astoria's deaths."

"So it's the timing and not because your feelings for me have changed?"

"Exactly. So let's go and see if there is any news on what happened at Neville's and then I am going to go to bed. I am exhausted."

They walked over to the door to the room and opened to the sight of Hermione getting ready to come into the room, with Ginny, Ron and Draco's parents right behind them.

Meanwhile, when Hermione and Ginny had stepped out of the parlor, Teensy was going to the front door to let Ron in, who had apparated outside of the gates. The Aurors guarding them had let him onto the grounds to walk up to the Manor. The second Hermione saw him, she ran into his arms and wrapped hers around him, holding him tightly against her.

"Is it over?" Ginny asked her brother, touching him gently on the shoulder.

"Yes. Amber ended up having to use her gun to stop him because, like McGonagall warned us, magic isn't stopping him for very long. I'm glad Harry thought to have that thing charmed to work because she saved him and Neville from getting shot by Dennis. The only thing is that asshole raped Hannah, she was hysterical by the time we got to her. Neville apparated her to St. Mungo's."

"We have to go there and be there for them," Hermione stated, before glancing over at Ginny, who had tears in her eyes. She and Hannah had been in the same year at school and this news had devastated her. "I hate to bother the two of them but we might need to tell Luna and Draco that they have caught him. She also might want to know about what has happened to Hannah..."

A look of horror came over the witch's face as if realizing something that was awful to think about. She glanced at her husband, tears filling her own eyes.

"That sorry wanker!" Ron and Ginny both started at sound of Hermione saying something like that. Even Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy, who had been alerted by Teensy what was going on and had come downstairs, stared in shock at her. "He raped Hannah because of the fact she is a petite, slender, blue eyed blond so it would be like having Luna and to also hurt Neville in the process."

"Teensy told us that Creevy was caught tonight and Mrs. Longbottom was raped. Has Draco and Luna been told what is going on?" Narcissa asked.

"Not yet. We were getting ready to go into the parlor and tell them what had happened when you came downstairs," Ron said.

Hermione walked over to the door of the parlor with the others behind her and was getting ready to open the door, when Draco and Luna started to come out of the room themselves. The second Ron was spotted by both of them, the questions started.

"How's Hannah?"

"Did you catch him?"

"Yes, we caught him but only after Amber had to shoot him with her gun. Thank Merlin we charmed that thing to work because spells weren't working at all on him." Ron answered Draco's question first before turning to look at Luna, dreading to give her the answer to hers. "Neville had to take Hannah to St. Mungo's, Luna."

"What did he do?" she asked, quietly.

"I don't know if you should hear this...."

"What did he do!"

Everybody jumped at the sound of the normally calm woman's outburst.

"Tell her, Weasley or she will keep at you until you do," Draco stated, standing beside a very furious Luna.

"She was raped by him because..."

"She shares some similar features with me so Dennis decided to hurt her because he couldn't have the real thing." Tears filled her eyes before she turned and ran upstairs to the room that had been assigned to her, with Draco following right behind her.

"I think we need to leave them alone and let him calm her down, they seem to have that effect on each other," Lucius stated, taking his wife's hand and leading her back up the stairs to their bedroom. He then saw Hermione glance towards another room off in the distance and saw her walk towards it, tears falling down her cheeks. "Damn."

Narcissa and Ron looked in the direction that Lucius had and both of them realized just what was wrong with both of their spouses.

"Hermione, don't go near there," Ron said to his wife, following her, until he got over to where she was standing in the door to the room. He clenched his fists in anger as memories of the past came back to haunt him and the sight of Bellatrix Lestrange holding a knife to her throat going through his mind like it had only happened yesterday.

"I was hoping I would never have to be near this room ever again, Ron. With the murders, I had momentarily forgotten just how much this place still haunts me even nineteen years later."

She laid her head on his shoulder and let her husband's presence comfort her as the Malfoy's quietly walked up to them.

"We never use this room, I don't know why the door is even open. Draco, who is now in charge of the day to day running of the house and our family's business ventures, will be furious that it was left open like this," Narcissa said, glancing over at the very visibly upset Hermione. "I apologize for what my sister did to you and my part in it. If I hadn't of been so bloody scared of her and Voldemort, and what they would do to my husband and son if I ever turned against them, I would have prevented it from happening. We'll leave you alone for now. Good night."

Lucius and Narcissa turned and walked back toward the stairs, leaving the younger couple to deal with the memories of the past. Regretting the part that they had played in what was done to them, their friends and family.

AN: I was rereading Deathly Hallows and got to the part that took place at Malfoy Manor and realized that needed to be brought up. To have Hermione ignore what was done to her in that house would have been ignoring canon and I couldn't do that.

I hope I didn't chase anybody away from my story with the end of the previous chapter. The writing of it made me very uncomfortable and if it hadn't had some relevance to the future of the storyline I am starting, I wouldn't have wrote it.
