Chapter 21: Part 1

Scorpiua POV:

"Two days!.. It's been two days, and we still haven't gotten a clue as to when we are leaving!." I yelled.

Everyone in the room is staring at me with sympathetic faces, that's the last thing I need, sympathy and pity.

"We are leaving tomorrow Scorpius, Derek is perfectly fine to travel, and he will be here tonight." Spoke Harry calmly.

"Ok, and then what?"

"We leave first things tomorrow morning. Before dawn. We will arrive during the night, and surprise him."said Ron.

He looked just as bad as I did.

"I told you, he's expecting you, and won't be surprised to see you." Spoke a voice from the door.

We turned our attention to the door, and there stood a smiling Derek. His hair had returned to its regular colouring.

"I thought you weren't allowed out until tonight.." Said Harry.

"Change of plans, we leave right now."

He took out a portkey, and set it on the table.

"I hope you are all wearing comfortable shoes, we will be walking…"

He looked at each one of us, and his gaze rested on me.

"She's ok, he hasn't harmed her." He told me.

"You better be sure of that." I said. Anger rising in my chest again.

"We will leave a note for the family to read, and know where we have gone." Spoke Harry, summoning some parchment and a quill.

The door once again, burst open, and an incredibly angry Luke stood there. A hand appeared and grabbed him, and Arabella stood next to him, with James by her side.

"James, what.. Luke?" Asked Harry worried.

Luke rushed forward and launched himself at Derek. Who didn't even raise a hand or wand to defend himself.

"Bastard!. I will kill you!. You didn't think I figured you out!. You helped him!. And then you tried to cover it up!."

Everyone was too stunned to help Derek.

What did he mean, Derek helped him.. Who is him?.. I'm so bloody tired of not knowing!.

"Luke!" Yelled Arabella. She pulled him off Derek. And then proceeded to round on Derek herself.

She got done on the floor next to him, and grabbed him by his cloak.

"She trusted you!. I trusted you!. I put my own fucken trust in you. And what did you do!?. You screwed my sister while you were with me!. Yeah, you think your memory charmed couldn't be reversed now did you!?. You are a pathetic little bastard. And you will pay for it. Mark my words.. Derek Rosehill, you will pay for this, by my grandfathers name, you will pay…" Her words were filled with such venom, that even I was scared of her. She kicked him, and spit in his face.

Before the Rosier siblings could kill our only contact to Rose and Athena, Harry and Ron, restrained them.

"Enough!. Someone explain what the hell is going on!" Yelled Harry over Luke, and Arabella's screams.

"Silencio." I whispered to both of them. They eyed me with such anger and venom, I almost undid the spell.

"Incarcerous" said Albus pointing his wand at Derek.

"Ok, now.. Scorpius will undo the spell on you both.. But, I want you both to calmly explain to us just what exactly is going on." Said Harry, he had gone into full Auror mode, as had Ron.

"Teddy, Adrian, Ron.. Your in charge of Derek." They nodded and moved towards Derek." Scorpius, Albus and I, we will speak to Luke and Arabella.. Um, James. I guess you can come too."

I undid the spell, when he looked at me, and watched Luke and Bella, still give murderous glares to Derek.

"He's helping him. He's with him. We haven't been able to figure out exactly who he's helping, but it all makes sense. He knew about Jason's death, and how it was destroying Athena, he used that to completely have her trust him, and then when all these random things start to happen to her, she ran right to him, just as it was planned.." Explained Luke.

"I'm confused, could it be that maybe he is trying to help us?.." Asked James.

"He's going to leave us to a suicide mission isn't he?" I asked. It all makes sense now, why he is so calm and ready to leave right away.

"Yeah, he can get us there, but I wouldn't put it past him to kill us off one by one, until only you, and Albus are left."

"Bloody hell.. So what do we do?" Asked Harry..

"We take him. And keep him tied up. He's amazing at non verbal spells, so he needs to be watched at every turn." Spoke Arabella.

"He told Albus, that he was the only one that could get us inside.."

They both stared at me, and laughed.

"He's lying, he just wants you all too feel weak and vulnerable, there is only one way in, and it's through the back.."

"How?.." I asked confused.

"Did you forget we are metamorphmagus, and also animagi..?" Smirked Luke..

"How come Athena can't morph, but you two can?" Asked Harry, with a concerned face.

"She's a lot more emotional, and the lies and problems that she had been facing have taken their toll. Her magic is weakening. We need to get her out fast. As for Rose, we couldn't find her in the house at all.. Or even the man who took them. We have searched and searched the house, and nothing.. He's not there... " said Luke sadly.

I screamed in frustration and turned to the nearest wall, and took out all of my frustrations, anger, and desperation out. I didn't stop until James pulled me back from the wall.

"Calm down Malfoy.. She might not be there.." He said softly.

I looked around the room, Ron and Albus, looked as desperate as I did. Teddy and Adrian, looked at me with concerned looks on their faces.

Pity, that's what was in all of their eyes, pity, for poor Scorpius Malfoy. I hated pity.

"If you are all done. We need to go." Spoke Derek. His face was still bloody and bruises had began to form..

"Shut up asshole!. Your in a hurry to get us killed aren't you?" Yelled Luke.

Derek laughed, and shook his head.

"Your wrong Luke.. I'm not against you. I'm helping you. It's your anger and frustration that has lead you to think of me as the enemy.. Admit it, you never have liked me. Not even when I dated Arabella, which I'm sorry for Bella. I never meant to hurt you. And I'm sorry I had to erase myself from your memories."

I saw her tense and try to walk to him, only to be held back by James. He softly kissed her head, and she relaxed.

"See, it worked out for you. You met James Potter, and now your happy. I don't regret my decision to take your memory, but I know for a fact that you are happy, your happy that I did."

We stood around in anxious and uncomfortable silence. The tension in the room, was only growing and growing.

"Enough talking, let's get going. Teddy, Adrian, Ron, stay with Derek at all times. Albus, Scorpius and I will walk behind you. Luke and Bella, you will both lead the way and do what you have to do to get us in. And James..You need to stay here. You have no training as an Auror, and Amy needs one of you to stay with her."

"Dad, I'm coming. Bella needs me, and did you forget I was the best in my DADA class?.."

He turned to Bella, and held onto her hand tightly.

I can see Harry's mind racing, and trying to decide. He finally gives in, and nods.

"Stay with your brother."

With that he grabs the portkey, and we all clamour around it.

We feel the pull of the portkey, and soon we are being transported to our destination, it felt like we had been traveling for ever, when suddenly, we stopped at the top of a hill, it was overlooking the ocean, and it was extremely cold. I could see my breath, I stood up and cleaned off the mud.

I saw everyone else do the same, and we all walked towards the bottom of the cliff.

There was only two homes, large ancient looking Victorian home, and a larger home, with pillars. It was larger than any other house. But not as large as Malfoy Manor.

"Bloody hell, where are we?" Asked James.

"Welcome to Rosehill Place."

I focused once again on the home. Trying to figure out which one was Rose in.

"Um, Luke?.. Which one is it?." I asked.

"The one with the pillars, The Victorian is a decoy home, the mansion, is not visable to Muggles." Explained Arabella, brushing some hair off her eyes. She looked over to see James awed face.

"Cool isn't it babe?"

"Can you say money?" He said.

"The Rosehill family is as old as mine. Except, that we are richer and more powerful. And our home is twice the size of this one." Said Arabella. Laughing at all of our shocked faces.

"And you thought you were rich Malfoy." Said Adrian.

"Shut up Zabini."

That caused a few laughs and some of the tension was lifted. That is, until Derek spoke.

"Your wasting time."

"Shut up." Hissed Luke.

"Alright Bella, Luke, lead the way." Said Harry, his wand out and raised.

They nodded, and Arabella kissed James, before disappearing, and in her place was a small, black cat. Next to her was a larger figure. I didn't see what it was until, he walked past me, he was a large black dog.

I heard a large intake of breath, and saw Harry look at Luke.

No doubt, remembering Sirius Black.

"Harry.. Mate. Come on." Urged Ron, pushing him forward.

He nodded slowly. And motioned for the rest of us to follow.

It was creepy, walking in the dark. We walked past the decoy home, and the large garden. We had to be careful and extremely quiet.

"Does anyone live here?" Asked Albus.

I shrugged, if anyone did. They didn't know about the illegal kidnappings of innocent witches, in the main house.

"This is my families summer home. It's winter, so no one is home."

Ron and Harry looked around the grounds, it was completely barren, no plants were visible.

"What's that hole in the ground?" I asked..

"What hole?" Asked James looking back towards me.

"Al! James!."

It didn't do any good. They had both fallen and we're now making extreme amounts of noise.

"Albus, James!. Stop moving!"

"Help! Dad!. Help!"

Something was defiantly wrong, they couldn't swim up. Everytime they tried, they were being dragged down.

It was only a matter of seconds, before they were completely submerged in the water.

"Wingardium Leviosa". I yelled.

Nothing. If anything, it made it worse.

"Derek! What the hell?!"

"Move aside!" He yelled.

I saw Harry removing his robes, and shoes.

"Harry no!.."

Luke and Bella raced back, in human form.

"Oh my god, James!" She yelled franticly.

"Derek. Do something!" Yelled Luke.

"Where is Derek!?.. Fuck we lost him!" Yelled Teddy.

"Look!" I yelled.

He was in the water, and had somehow undid his ropes, that had been bounding him.

Albus suddenly came up, and seconds later so did James.

We finally were able to levitate them out.

Albus came around first, he chocked up water, and was holding on to his throat, his hair was stuck to his face, and I noticed burns on his wrists.

James took a bit longer, but eventually came around too. Bella, threw herself at him, causing him to wince in pain. She let him go and he fell backwards into the ground.

"Ow, I think I broke some ribs." He moaned.

"James, Albus. Merlin, what was in that water?" Asked Harry.

Hurrying to dry off his children.

"Does anyone know how to heal?" Asked Luke..

"Louis showed me a few.." I mumble.

"Do it then." Urged James. His face still showing the pain he was in.

"Ok."

I raised my Wand, and pointed it to James ribs. I tried very hard to remember the spell Louis showed me.

I heard James grunt out in pain, and I opened my eyes, he was breathing hard, and clutching his ribs harder.

"James!?"

" I'm fine.." He groaned. "Bloody hell, what was in that water?"

"Mom and dad put a jinx on it, it's mostly to keep Muggles away. But I'm not sure Exactly what it was.." Said Derek. His hair and clothing still wet, he started to shiver in the cold, and I dried off his clothes for him. He gave me a great full smile, and walked back to Teddy, and Adrian.

"Alright, let's keep going."

Bella kissed James again, and after he assured her, he would be more careful, she changed back into a cat.

Luke followed and, soon we all started to walk towards the house again.

It took us almost half an hour to just reach the back door, especially since James and Albus still were a bit sore.

We saw Bella and Luke back to a door.

They stopped at it, and waited for us to get close. Luke went over to Derek and Growled at him, and pushed him forwards.

"Open it."

He reached towards the handle, and slowly turned it. My heart was beating into overdrive. I was so close to finding Rose, and so close to getting her the hell out of here, and home to our children.

"Come on them.."

Bella led the way, and we were walking down a narrow corridor, it reminded me of the secret passages in Hogwarts. I saw Al, smile and look at me.

"You ok son?" Asked Harry, as he helped James walk.

"Fine dad." He still looked in pain, but he was holding on strong.

"We are getting close to the entrance to the kitchen. Once we are there, Bella will lead us to the room where Athena is." Whispered Luke. He had transformed back, and was walking behind Harry.

"Ok. What about Rose?" I asked.

"I'm going to look again, we will find her Scorpius, I promise." Said Luke.

"We will Scor, she's here. Safe and sound." Said Teddy.

We stopped and Derek once again opened up the door.

We walked into a large kitchen. We still couldn't light any room, so we had to depend on the little moonlight, that was shining in through the windows.

"We need to head upstarts. Hurry. We only have a few hours before the sun comes up." Whispered Luke.

I grabbed Derek by the back of his cloak, and dragged him with us,

Our steps echoed on the cold floor..

The walls were bare, no pictures of any kind were hung up. It gave the place a cold dark feeling.

"Here is the first floor, come one, this way, keep up, and try not to make so much noise."

The room we had arrived in was magnificent, it reminded me of the entrance to the great hall.

Except much more elegant. Mum would of gone mad with all the antiques and vintage look that this place exhumed.

"Bloody rich people." Whispered Albus.

"Tell me about it." I mumbled.

Derek just smirked and kept walking.

He stopped at a particular table, and picked up a small frame.

I walk over to him, and saw him smiling sadly. In the frame was a picture of a small blonde haired girl, and a equally small black haired boy. Both in swimming clothing and matching toothless grins.

"Who is that?" I asked.

"My baby sister…" He sniffed, and cleared his throat.

"What happened to her?"

"I don't know, after I left my family, I never again talked to her…"

He took out the picture and put it inside his cloak.

"What was her name?" I asked curiously.

"Leah."

We stopped once we reached the second floor, and Bella transformed back into herself.

"Alright, Athena is here somewhere. We will move together. And locate her. After, she might be able to tell us where Rose is, and who is it that brought them here."

We all nod and turn to check each room.

I opened the door to my left, and it was completely empty, same with all the rooms I searched through.

I was growing frustrated, and impatient.

"Nothing, where is she?" I whispered furiously to myself.

Derek is still with me, following me.

"Let's go met up with the others"

We walk out of the room, and as I'm about to close the door, I hear a small muffled noise.

I slowly opened the door, and carefully walk inside, Derek right behind me.

"Go, and find everyone else, I think I heard something..." I told him.

He nodded slowly, and walked out the door.

"Hello, anyone in here?"

A few more muffled noises, and I follow the noise.

"I'm an Auror, I'm here to help."

More noises, and I opened the closet door, inside is a chair, and tied to that chair is a beaten and bloodied Athena.

Her eyes are wide and crazed. Her blonde hair is stuck to her head, most of it had dried blood on it..

"Athena?". I whispered horrified.

She looks down, and I notice she had some sort of cloth stuck in her mouth.

"Bloody hell. Here wait. I'll take it off. Are you alright?"

She nods, and I get to working on untying the cloth.

I finally give up, and use magic to get rid of it.

"Fuck!. Scorpius, Rose is in trouble.. Untie me. Hurry! Don't trust Derek. Please. Listen to me."

I shakily waved my wand, and the ropes tying her disappear.

"What happened?.." I asked, as I helped her get up.

Her knees were shaky, and she was using me to support herself.

"We got it all wrong. Derek, I can't believe I was so stupid.. Scorpius, I'm so sorry… We need to get away before he comes back." She whispered urgently.

She looked scared and so vulnerable.

It pained me to see her like this.

"Where is Rose?"

"He has her in the third floor. She still unconscious. I don't know why. But I tried to get to her, and he found me trying to escape, so he threw me in here."

"Alright. Come on. Let's get out of here."

I helped her walk out of the room, and we slowly walked to the stairs that lead to the third floor.

We didn't get far, before Albus came running and hugged Athena.

Squeezing her tight, and making her wince in pain.

He let her go, and then suddenly kissed her.

I stood there awkwardly, and coughed a bit to remind them we had a mission to do.

"Now I know how you feel Al, when I kiss Rose.. But, you can let go of her now, that's still my baby cousin..." I said disgusted.

"Whatever scorp. Merlin, Athena, what happened to you?". He asked.

"We don't have time for explanations, we need to hurry."

We ran up the steps, well tried.

Athena couldn't really walk, let alone run.

"Where is Ron and Harry?.. Hell, where is everyone else?" I asked.

"Beats me. I went alone. I thought they would be with you."

That can't be good. We weren't supposed to gotten separated.

"Athena. Did Derek do that to you?" I asked her.

"No, it was a man with a mask. He never took it off, not even when I was duelling him. He knew all of my moves, he knew me so completely that he placed anti magic spells in the the room he first had me in. Although, I could of sworn I saw Luke and Bella snooping around here. I was going in and out of conscious, but I promise, I felt someone lick my face, and a small black cat cuddling me." She whispered.

How many bloody steps does this staircase have?.. I'm already out of breath.

"We're getting close." Said Athena, breathlessly.

"Ok."

"Scorpius!, Albus!"

We turned around and saw a red faced Ron Weasley running up to us.

"Athena! Blimey. What the bloody hell happened to you?!" He asked shocked.

"Long story, we need to get to Rose."

We heard noises and shouts coming our way.

We all looked at each other, and suddenly a jet of red light went right past me.

"Run!" Yelled Athena.

We ran, and had to keep dodging spells.

"Shit!" Screamed Albus, as a picture next to him exploded.

He tripped and I had to help him up. Barely missing a spell being shot my our way.

"Who is attacking us?!" I yelled at Athena.

"I'm not sure!"

We reached the top, and followed Athena into a larger hallway.

"Which way!?" Yelled Ron.

"This way!"

We ran after her, and I noticed the cut in her arm.

Albus looked worse, his face was cut, from the glass that exploded, his wrist were still burnt, and now he was sporting large bruises around his arms.

I wondered what I looked like.

I shook my head, and focused on finding Rose, we found the door, and my heart speed up even more, once we opened this door, we would find Rose.
