My Mistake Chapter 10 –The Plan

Draco was a mess. All he did these days was to sit in his and Hermione's room. He slept on her side breathing in her scent. He also kept Damon as close as possible now. He would take him everywhere.

On a Saturday evening, 3 days since Hermione was taken from Voldemort, Harry came over to visit Draco. He was shocked at what he saw. Normally, Draco would go to any means nessacary to make sure he looked perfect. But now...his normally silky blonde hair was limp and standing up in all directions. He was wearing the same clothes as he did 3 days ago and his eyes were a horrible dull grey showing no emotion.

"Draco?" He started. "Draco I know what you're going through but please...try to have some dignity" however Draco just plain ignored him and tightened his hold on Damon who was sleeping. "Draco—are you even listening?"

Draco looked up at Harry. Now Harry looked closer, Draco's eyes were all puffy and red. He had obviously been crying a lot. Draco nodded his head once to show that he was listening.

"Look...you need to get washed and dressed. The Ministry are getting worried for both of your sakes!" This didn't even get a movement from Draco. Finally, Harry had enough. "Draco – mate... you can't stay locked up in here! This isn't going to help Hermione is it? You're not looking after Damon properly! The Ministry is thinking about taking Damon away! In social care!"

This bit of information made Draco shake. No...he was not going to lose Damon. Damon had to stay with him at all times. Harry saw Draco beginning to shake and caught hold of his shoulder. He squeezed it. He then bent down to take Damon out of his hands.

"Draco...I'm going to take Damon back to my place. With Ginny." Harry told him softly.

"No."

"What?"

"NO! Damon is going to stay with me. What if something happens to him and I'm not there? What if..."

"Draco...look. If we take Damon to Ginny, we both know that he will be safe. And then me and you can go and look for Hermione. Yes?"

Desperate grey met concerned green. Without saying a word Draco stood up. He grabbed his wand from the bedside table and muttered a cleaning charm on him and Damon. As he did this Damon cuddled closer to him. He couldn't understand. After all those months without seeing him, he still trusted his dad. This made him cuddle Damon as close as he could possibly be. Remembering Harry was in the room, Draco whispered, "Are you ready?" to which a yes was replied to. They both then apparated to the Potters cottage. The first thing that Draco saw when he arrived in the Potters cottage was a flame of red hair running towards them.

"Oh thank god you're alright!" Ginny said, engulfing Draco and Damon in a bone crushing hug waking Damon up. "Opps! Sorry Damon! Here, let me take him."

Draco could only watch his son being taken from him again. Even though he knew it would be safe here with Ginny he still felt an emptiness. Automatically his hands searched for Damon but all he felt was air as Harry placed a hand on his right shoulder.

"Come on Draco...let's go and find Hermione" Harry gently told him. Pale grey with emptiness found pools of green and Draco nodded with argeement. "Right, while you were locked up in your room, I was out doing research of Hermione's where-abouts" Harry told Draco in a buisness like voice.

"And...?" Draco questioned.

"Hang on...I was getting there...I found out that Voldemort has been lying low for the time being in an abandoned house near Pembrokeshire in Wales. The house belonged to a rich wizarding family called the Sang -Vol which translates as blood snatchers in French. They were dark wizards as well as Voldemort so they had a varity of dungeons and torture cells."

Hermione had lost track of what day it was. It felt like weeks she had been here for but it was probaly only a few days. Now, Voldemort came very night. Sometimes he came in the afternoon as well but that wasn't regular. She had grown used to the dark. In fact, she loved the dark at this moment. After all, it was very dark in the cell and the only time the cell became light was when Voldemort was coming with the dreaded potion. The potion and the whip. She would never be able to forget the pain those things put her through. The first day had hurt. However, that was nothing to the others times. What Voldemort said was true. It never left scars but it was slowely destroying her insides. At this thought Hermione clutched her arms around her swollen stomach. The baby was the only thing that stopped her from ending it. If she died, then her unborn child would die as well and she did not want that to happen.

This brought her to a new problem. If Draco and Harry did not come to rescue her soon then she would gie birth here and Voldemort would take her baby away from her while she consumed a life of torture and rape. No! She thought angrily. Stop thinking like this, you will get out of here. Both of you.

She was disrupted from her thoughts when a beam of light drowned her body. In came Voldemort himself. Hermione was confused this time though. Voldemort was not alone. Behind him were two other men who she didn't know.

"Ah…Hermione…great to see you again" Voldemort sneered. "Now, you are proberly wondering who these two men are, yes? Well they are Aaron and Jordan. They are here to…assist me"

"But Hermione could be in any one of those cells!" Draco protested.

"Yes I relise that however...we, meaning you, me, Kingsley, Fred, George and Ron, will meet up in at Zonko's in Hogsmeade and split up so we can cover more ground" Harry said with a sort of click in his voice.

Draco was amazed that Potter had come up with a plan so quickly. He also felt guilty and ashamed because I was his wife that was missing yet all he did was lie around feeling sorry for himself. Harry must have seen all of this in Draco's eyes as he said, "Don't worry mate, we didn't expect you to help with the plan…after all I would feel the same if it was Ginny that had gone missing".

Draco still looked ashamed with himself so Harry decied to take charge and shoved Draco along.

"Ow! What was that for Potter?!" Draco yelld.

"We need to get going…in fact we are already 2 minutes late!" came the reply.

So both blonde and brown spinned quickly disappearing.

"What do you mean assist?" Hermione asked weakly. She was very scared . For the first time since the men had gotten here, Hermione noticed that Voldemort did not have his whip with him. This terrifed her.

"Well my little mudblood...let's see shall we?" Voldemort laughed. He then pointed his finger to the two men then back at Hermione. The two large men took long strides up towards her pulling out their wands. Suddently they grabbed Hermione by the arm and yanked her towards them. Oh God! Hermione thought. No...no...not this anything but this! She screamed.
