(A/N): I am putting up a lot now to make up for the times I will not be able to during my exams. Please review to take my mind off the exams.

Chapter 21
Al kept an eye on Scorpius after this. The attacks on them seemed to have stopped, but they believed that this was because they were still trying to find a way past the necklaces.
One night soon after Easter, Al was almost asleep when he heard a creak coming from Scorpius' bed. He opened his eyes a slit, and, having not bothered to close the curtains, saw Scorpius creep up to his bed and reach over, as thought trying to get something. Al realised that the thing was the necklace, as he and Shaun had taken to wearing them at all times.
When this thought came, Al sat straight up in bed, caught Scorpius to step back in shock, grabbed his wand, and put the full Body-bind curse on Scorpius. The thump of Scorpius falling back on the floor caused Alan, Duncan and Shaun to wake up and look around disorientated.
They looked from Scorpius to Al's wand and back again. Al explained what had happened, and Shaun went to get Neville. A few minutes later, Neville was racing up the stairs behind Shaun, but stopped when he saw Scorpius lying on the ground. He looked at Al for an explanation, so Al told him what had happened.
Neville took Scorpius and they didn't see him again that night.
The next morning, the others were told what had occurred that night, and they saw the teachers looking agitated, and talking amongst themselves. Soon it was all over the school what had happened, and Isabelle and Gabriella just gave them the evils.
Scorpius was back with them that night, but he was ignored, and they put shields up around their beds. They didn't want a repeat performance.
About a week after this happened Al was coming back from the library, when a fist came out of no where and punched him, knocking him unconscious.
The next thing he knew, he was in a Potions class, and the necklace was missing. He managed to tell the others through the parchment, which had thankfully not been taken, and they were there within a minute. Making sure that they were alone, they talked about who it could have been, and found out that Scorpius had been seen by Blake at the time this had taken place. From now on, someone would be with Al at all times, so the person attacking them wouldn't get a chance at him.
That night, they stopped watching Scorpius. This was a mistake, as by morning, Al was missing. Immediately they went to Scorpius, and James, Ethan, Frankie, and Bruno started beating him up. Lily had somehow managed to nick Veritaserum from Potions and they fed it to him.
"Where is Al? Who took him?" Rose demanded fiercely.
"Isabelle and Gabriella took him into the Forest. I don't know where." Scorpius whimpered.
Rose stunned him and took out the map. Immediately they saw them, but they weren't alone. There was someone called Declan Taylor, and someone else called Susan Taylor, as well as Simmons, Nott, McNair, Rhinehand, and Beck, all of whom were Slytherins.
"They must be Isabelle and Gabriella's parents, but what are they doing here?" Kari muttered.
They immediately got Professor Abbott, and told what had happened, and what was going on. She contacted Harry and Ginny, who were there in seconds, as well as Professor Kerr and Neville.
Together they went to the forest, and found them. Hiding behind the trees, they saw what was going on. Isabelle, Gabriella and their parents were in the centre of a circle created by the others who surrounded them. In the middle of the circle with them was a bound, gagged and beaten up, Al.
As they saw this, they rushed forward. The others were surprised, but quickly regained their composure and started duelling with them. They stunned the group, and Professor Abbott bound Declan Taylor, before reviving him. He started struggling against his bonds, but the Headmistress just said, "Why did Isabelle and Gabriella kidnap Albus Potter?"
He just laughed and looked at Harry. "To get back at him of course. You don't know who we are, do you? My wife is the daughter of the Dark Lord. Though he may be dead, his teachings are very much alive. Albus Potter must die because he is just like his father and his father was allowed to live for too long. We must remedy this mistake."
"What part did Scorpius Malfoy play in this?" Professor Abbott asked, forcing calm into her voice. Behind her, Ginny and Neville were only just able to restrain Harry from going at Declan.
"His mother used the Imperious Curse on him during the holidays. It is the only way that he is able to see sense."
Professor Abbott turned to Harry, who was just starting to calm down, and told him to get Aurors here right away. Harry nodded, and turned around, disappearing through the trees. The others took Al up to the hospital wing, as Professor Abbott, Neville and Professor Kerr stayed behind with the group of those stunned.
They heard later that all of them had been taken to Azkaban for trial, as well as Scorpius' mum. Scorpius was away from school for a couple of days, but when he came back, he was back to what he had been like.
