Harry's POV

Harry now had to accept that fact that someone he knew had framed Darren in order to break them apart. But who? Who is he close friends with that would murder four people? Who would stoop down to that level and kill just to be close with Harry?

Mr. Crepsley and Vancha took Seba back to Vampire Mountain while Harry and Darren went back home. They were stumped. Whoever planned this whole mess had achieved their goal. They murdered four people and they framed Darren. Plus, they kidnapped Luna and will most likely kill her any moment. She could be dead already.

Harry couldn't even think about it. If Luna died, there would be no bringing her back. This is not like the last time she died. There can be no usage of the Resurrection Stone. If Luna dies, she will be gone forever.

Harry was so pissed at himself for letting this happen. He blamed himself for not catching the perpetrator. He got so mad that, once he got home, he knocked everything on the table down.

"Harry," said Darren. "Just please calm down."

"How can I calm down?" yelled Harry frantically. "These bastards murdered four people and are about to murder a fifth, and I am not even close as to finding out who they are!"

"Yeah," said Darren. "But throwing your stuff on the ground won't do us any good. We have to think!"

Harry tried his best to think of a solution, but none came.

"Daddy!" said Albus as he entered the door with James, Lily, and Ginny. "I have not seen you in a while. I am about to go back to Hogwarts and when that happens I won't see you for months!"

"I'm sorry, Albus," said Harry. "I have just been so caught up with work. We'll spend some time together. I promise."

"It better be soon," said Ginny. "They're leaving tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" asked Harry for it came as a surprise to him.

"Yes, tomorrow," smiled Ginny. "You have been so caught up with work you are forgetting about your kids."

"I am trying to find Luna!" said Harry.

"Luna?" asked James. "Why are you trying to find Aunt Luna? What happened?"

Harry hesitated. He did not want to freak out his kids by telling them Luna was kidnapped, but he couldn't lie to them either.

"Nothing happened," smiled Harry. "I just need to talk to her and she is off on one of her little adventures."

"Oh, good," smiled James.

"Okay kids," said Ginny. "Wash up for dinner!"

James, Albus, and Lily left the room to wash up.

"Are you two going to be staying?" asked Ginny.

"I guess," said Harry. "There is not much else we can do, but I still don't like the idea of doing nothing while Luna is out there somewhere."

"We'll look for her," said Darren. "Just not on an empty stomach."

The kids came down five minutes later and they had a nice family dinner, with Darren as the guest. Half way through, though, Darren closed his eyes and held his head.

"Uh," started Darren. "Harry, can I speak to you for a moment?"

Harry got up from the table and the two of them left the room.

"I just got a telepathic message from Mr. Crepsley," said Darren. "He said that we need to hurry to Vampire Mountain pronto. He said it is an emergency."

Harry nodded without asking any questions.

"Ginny," said Harry as he walked back into the room. "Darren and I need to leave. I'm so sorry we have to leave this early."

"It's fine," frowned Ginny. "As long as you, uh, do what you need to do."

Ginny got up from her seat and hugged Harry,

"I'll be a lot happier," whispered Ginny so her kids couldn't hear. "When you find Luna and this is all over with."

"I will," said Harry as he kissed her.

Harry walked outside with Darren, grabbed his arm, and then disapparated to Vampire Mountain.

Mutual POV

It took a little while for Harry and Darren to get to Vampire Mountain, but they did in the end. Once they got in the mountain and entered the Halls of Princes, they were surprised to see that there were some guests already there.

"Moody?" asked Harry as he saw his old professor in the middle of the hall. "Kingsley? Tonks? What are you doing here?"

"We are covering your ass, Potter," said Moody harshly. "You let Darren go free after he murdered four wizards!"

"I was told to!" said Harry who was somewhat telling the truth. "And he didn't murder them anyway!"

"Harry," said Tonks. "You helped him escape. We know you did. And all the evidence says he is the murderer."

"He is being framed, Tonks," said Harry.

"You still aided in the escape of a convict," said Moody.

"No," said Harry. "I was told to drop the case. You can ask the Minister of Magic himself."

Everyone turned to Kingsley.

"I told you that," said Kingsley, "after Darren had already escaped. You had already aided his escape by then."

"Look," interrupted Vancha. "What is it you guys want? You could have easily gone to Harry's house to berate him. Why was the point of coming here?"

"To re arrest Darren," said Moody. "I never liked that kid. He murdered four wizards and he must pay for his crime."

"Whatever happened to dropping the case?" asked Harry. "That's what you told me, Kingsley."

"That is before we found out of your aiding of a fugitive, Harry," said Kingsley. "I'm sorry, but we will have to arrest you too."

Harry's heart started pounding.

"No," interjected Darren. "You can't arrest Harry. He had nothing to do with it. I escaped on my own!"

"Then why is he with you right now?" asked Moody.

Darren didn't have an answer.

"You will NOT be arresting, Darren," said Mr. Crepsley. "He is one of, if not the most well respected vampire in the world. He did not commit these crimes and I believe him. You wanted to drop the case because you feared of starting a war. Well, believe me, you arrest my assistant and it WILL be war!"

"Larten!" said Darren in shock.

"I mean it," yelled Mr. Crepsley. "You will not be taking him into custody."

"What happened then?" asked Tonks. "What is your side of the story, Darren?"

"I had gone to visit Harry a few months ago," explained Darren. "Someone had been following me, although I didn't know it at the time. I think they took my saliva when I spit on the ground several times. Then, they murdered four wizards and planted my spit on the wombs to make it look like I did it. They did it so Harry would turn against me!"

"He does have a point," said Tonks. "This man saved all of our lives 19 years ago. I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt."

"Bull shit!" said Moody. "I don't buy it."

"It doesn't…matter," said Harkat. "You will… not be arresting Darren, unless you want to deal… with us."

"What are we going to do, then?" asked Tonks.

"How about we go and find Luna!" said Harry.

"Find Luna?" asked Tonks. "What are you talking about?"

"Luna Lovegood has been kidnapped," said Harry. "By the same person who murdered the four wizards and framed Darren."

"What!"

"Yes," said Harry. "If Darren really committed this crime, he would have kidnapped Luna, and I have been with him the entire time and can vouch for his whereabouts."

"Where is Luna then?" asked Kingsley.

"I dunno," said Harry. "We have been trying to find her, but with no luck."

"I can get the ministry to look for her," said Kingsley. "I can get the whole wizarding world on alert."

"No," said Harry. "We think whoever did this may be someone I am close to. We don't wanna alert him."

"What are we going to do then?" asked Darren.

"I dunno," said Harry. "But trust me, we will find her."

For hours Harry, Darren, the 3 wizards, and the rest of the Vampire Council talked about strategy to find Luna.

"Where do you think the kidnapper would have taken her?" asked Vancha.

"Somewhere in the wizarding world probably," said Mr. Crepsley.

"Actually," said Harry. "I have been starting to think that she was taken somewhere in the muggle world. It is the last place we would think to look, so maybe the kidnapper took her there."

"Or maybe he already killed her," scruffed Moody.

"Alastor!" said Tonks.

"What?" asked Moody. "It's the truth."

"Look," said Darren. "There must be something we're missing! We have to think on our feet! It is the only way we'll find her."

Everyone started thinking hard.

Almost as if it was a burst of lightning, a thought came to Harry.

"Hey," he said. "I've got an idea."

Everyone looked at him.

"The only reason the kidnapper has done all of this is because of me. He tried breaking up Darren and me, and now he's kidnapped Luna to stop her from telling me what she knows."

"So?" asked Vancha.

"So," explained Harry. "He knows who I am, so he obviously hid her in a place he knows I would NEVER go back to in a million years."

"And what place is that?" asked Darren.

"Number 12," said Harry. "Grimmauld Place."

Harry and Darren entered Grimmauld Place on their own. Kingsley, Moody, and Tonks went back to the ministry to file a report on what happened to Luna; while Harkat, Mr. Crepsley, and Vancha, on the other hand, decided to stay outside the door of Grimmauld Place so if anyone tried escaping, they would put a stop to it, (Harry put an Anti-Disapparational Jinx on the house before they entered).

Harry entered with his wand at the ready, and Darren came with his sword in his hand and 2 knives in his back pocket.

Harry and Darren looked through the whole downstairs, but it was vacant.

"Humanum Revilio!" said Harry as he pointed his wand upstairs.

"There are 4 people upstairs," Harry said after his wand scanned it.

Darren started to get a little worried, but so was Harry. This was the moment. This was the moment to finally see with their own eyes the criminals that murdered four people, kidnapped Luna, and framed Darren.

Harry tiptoed upstairs with Darren behind him. There was a door up ahead that was cracked open. Harry leaned forward slowly and peaked inside.

From, what he could see, a blonde woman was sitting, unconsciously, in a chair.

Harry opened the door all the way and saw, with his own eyes, the scene before him.

Luna was sitting in a chair, apparently sleeping. Her hands were tied up behind the chair, her legs were tied to the bottom, and she had a piece of duct tape strapped across her mouth.

"Cover me," said Harry to Darren.

Harry walked inside with Darren at the rear. There appeared to be no one else in the room, except for Luna.

Harry took off the tape and untied the rope. Then, he pointed his wand at her.

"Enervate!"

Luna suddenly awoke.

"Harry?" whispered Luna as she looked at him. "Is that you?"

"Yes, Luna," cried Harry as tears came out of his eyes. "It's me. Don't worry. You're safe now."

"I wouldn't be too sure about that," said a voice that entered the room.

Harry looked behind him and saw three masked figures. He stepped in front of Luna and pointed his wand at them.

"If you want to get at her, you'll have to go through me," said Harry bravely.

"Me too," said Darren as he stepped in front of Harry.

"How about we take all three of you," said a woman's voice from behind one of the masks.

"Come give it a try," said Harry.

One of the masked figures pointed their wand at Harry and Darren.

"Avada Kedavra!"

A jet of green light shot from the wand, but Darren was too quick. He flitted out of the way and the green light hit the wall.

"You're going to kill us now?" asked Harry. "First you murdered four people, then you framed Darren for it, then you kidnap Luna, now you're going to kill all three of us?"

"Sounds about right," said a man's voice from behind the mask.

"Expelliarmus!" yelled Harry at one of the masked figures as they fell to the ground, disarmed.

"Darren" said Harry. "Send Crepsley a message!"

The other masked figures shot a spell at Harry and he fell to the ground. The other figure was walking over to Luna to strangle her.

"Stupefy!"

The masked figure fell to the ground. Now only one was left.

Darren, whose eyes had been closed for a few seconds to send Mr. Crepsley a telepathic message to come over here, ran and tackled the only masked figure left standing, but he got back up pretty quickly.

Darren swiped his sword at the masked figure. The sword sliced his arm.

"Crucio!" said the masked figure that was disarmed before.

Darren fell to the ground screaming. Finally, they stopped the spell and got ready for another one.

"Avada…!"

Someone, with the speed quicker than a human's, ran and tackled the masked man.

"You frame my assistant," stated Mr. Crepsley. "Now you want to kill him?"

"Stupefy!" yelled the other masked man standing.

The spell struck Mr. Crepsley and he flew to the other side of the room.

Vancha and Harkat entered the room, but the masked villains were ready for them.

"Stupefy!"

The spells hit both of them and they went flying.

"Impedimenta!" yelled Harry as he jumped up from behind the chair.

The spell hit one of the masked figures. Again, there was one left standing.

"Avada Kedavra!"

"Expelliarmus!"

The green spell met the red. The spells collided together and started reflecting across the room.

Darren ran with the speed of a vampire and got Luna out of harm's way.

"Let go!" yelled Harry.

"Yeah," said the masked man. "'Let go' my ass. I have come too far to give up now!"

The 2 wizards fought hard, but it looked like the masked figure couldn't hold on much more.

Harry struck a little harder and that was all the masked man could take. He let go of his connection and the jet of red light Harry sent struck him in the chest, and he fell over.

The three masked villains were now out of the fight.

This is it thought Harry. Now I can finally look at the face of the people who caused all of this.

Darren was thinking the same thing.

I can finally look in the eye at the people who framed me for murder.

Harry and Darren walked over to the masked figures and took off their masks. When they saw the faces of the killers who murdered four people, kidnapped Luna, and framed Darren, it nearly shocked both of them to death.

It was Ron, Hermione, and Ginny…

To Be Concluded in the next and FINAL chapter…

One more chapter to go folks! As I said in the first chapter, this is the LAST story I am doing for the Harry Shan and Darren Potter Saga. This way it will be a nice trilogy of stories. My next chapter will be the last one of the trilogy and I am going to want it to be the best, so it may take a little while. I started writing the first story almost 2 years ago, so it is kind of sad that this will be my last chapter.

Anyway, please review and tell me what you think!
