Chapter 21:

Draco looked at me an then back at his father, and then stepped in front of me raising his wand. Luscious Malfoy stepped forward.

" Now, now Draco is that any way to great your father who was released from Azkaban on good behavior? " He said in the most sarcastic tone, and fighting back a scowl. Draco raised his wand closer to him deepening his look of hatred. " I don't even get a hug, or a hello from my son?" Draco didn't move or say a word. "No?" He lowered his wand but Draco wasn't backing down he knew his father was up to something. Mr. Malfoy turned and scowled at me, I could feel a shiver run through my body. " Then perhaps Ill just take your precious little mudblood!" Before I could do or say anything Pansy Parkinson apparated behind me, and I was taken away to somewhere cold and dark. Meanwhile Draco looked back at his father ready to attack, but he just gave him a world class Malfoy smirk and apparated in the same dark fog that he entered in. Draco collapsed on the floor and stared at he spot that I had been laying just moments ago. " NO! How could he do this to me, not again? Hermione!" He started to tear up, how could that monster take everything from him, until he had nothing left? He quickly collected his thoughts and walked out of the common room. He needed to do something, but he didn't know what, He couldn't just go to him blindly it might be a trap and everyone would be dead. He thought about telling McGonnagal, but thought against it because she would put the whole school under lock down and also not let him help and he needed to do something he couldn't just sit back and let him hurt someone he cared about. The only one Luscious wanted to get to was Draco and he would do that by all means necessary. He just kept walking with no direction intended, not paying attention to where he was going until he collided with someone.

" Why don't you watch where I'm going?" He looked up to see whom he had collided with " Potter?"

" Yea, nice running into you too Malfoy " He said with utter sarcasm as he dusted himself off. He was about to walk away when Draco thought maybe he needed Harry.

" Potter, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I need you help." Draco didn't know what else to do after all Harry was my best friend and the chosen one so he had a duty didn't he? Harry just stopped dead in his tracks, and then turned around slowly.

"You need MY help? " He looked at Draco to see if he was serious and he looked it so he let him continue. " What do you mean you need my help Malfoy? What are you playing at?"

" Look I could find someone else if it bothers you that much" Draco flung his arms in the air, and started to walk away. " I just thought you might want to help your best friend" Harry couldn't help but fight back a laugh.

" Malfoy on what planet would you ever think we were friends?" He turned around to face Harry.

" No we are not friends Potter but Hermione is, or at least I thought she was!" Harry's eyes jolted open wide. " Look I know we don't get along, but long story short she's in trouble. My father found a way to charm himself out of Azkaban, and he's trying to bring back the death eaters to resurrect Voldemort, and use Hermione as a sacrifice. I need your help, please!" Harry took a deep breath and could swear he saw fear in is eyes. Draco turned his head before he thought Harry could see the tears about the stream down his face. " Are you in or out Potter?" He nodded

" I'm in!" He followed Draco outside of Hogwarts grounds to the wompng willow.

" Where are we going?" Harry yelled trying to keep up with Draco. He hated not knowing what was going on.

" It's a port key Potter," He pointed to a big gray rock in front of that dreaded tree. " I goes to the Malfoy Manner" Draco walked slowly toward it.

" How long has that been there?" Harry was half surprised and half amused.

" Since the war" Harry tried not to focus on why, he needed to focus on the bigger picture, and that was to save Hermione. They both grabbed the rock, and they were sent flying into the air, then crashing into a large garden overlooking a huge 12-story mansion.

" Ok, I don't mean this as a threat Potter, but you have to watch your back when entering the Malfoy manner, especially if he's expecting us "

" What makes you think he's expecting us? You maybe, but he would have no idea about me?" Draco smirked

" Because I know my father, he'll expect me to come to her rescue, and bringing you would be the one thing he would never think I would do, that's why hell expect it. Besides he's only doing all of this to get to me" Harry looked around, sighed and they both walked toward the door. Draco noticed Harry was holding his hand to his scar, looking to be in pain.

" You alright there Potter?" Draco hated to admit it ,but he was worried.

" He's back! And he feels more powerful than before! I can feel it!"
