Hermione's cold hand clutched Draco's warm hand as none other than Lucius Malfoy walked out to the front of the group with a sneer on his face. "What happened to Azkaban Lucius?" Draco asked in a cool collective tone even though he was breaking on the inside.

"You do not speak to me unless spoken to you blood traitor" Lucius spat as he walked right up to Draco and back slapped him across the face. Hermione let out a little whimper from the side and Harry put his hand in her other hand. "And you… you filthy mudblood. You put me in that god-awful place! But once again my powerful master the Dark Lord set me free" Lucius said as he looked proudly at the four. Ron let out a slight snigger and Lucius turned to him. "What are you sniggering at Weasley? You're blood traitor parents are the first to go on my list. Right after you though-"

"You horrible man!" Hermione screamed at him. Hermione had just been thinking that in her mind but obviously she accidentally said it. She immediately dropped both boys' hands and clasped her hand to her mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…" Lucius said as he eyed Hermione before suddenly turning around and pointing to Roger Parkinson. "Parkinson! Is this the little bitch that ruined you're daughter's life?" Roger happened to be a very built man with huge muscles and a thick head of hair. He stepped forwards with a sneer on his face.

"Right after you're son" Roger said in a deep voice, one which sounded completely unlike the voice Hermione heard before.

"Good then I shall have no problem killing them both" Lucius raised his wand and pointed it at a very, very frightened Hermione. Draco grabbed Hermione's arm and pulled her back until she hit the wooden door. As Lucius got ready to say the one curse he was born to say he felt a burning sensation on his left forearm. "Argh!" Lucius said as he dropped to his knees and clutched his arm along with all the other Death Eaters.

"You will not kill them" Came a soft yet spiteful voice. Voldemort in cat like person turned the corner and came into the middle of the gathering. He walked past Ron sneering at him past Harry who was looking hatefully at him and then to Hermione. She looked positively scared shitless. Voldemort put one of his long fingernails on the side of Hermione's cheek and ran it down her neck and collarbone. "Well aren't you a pretty mudblood" voldemort said as he leaned in towards Hermione. His breath reeked, and Hermione honestly contemplated offering him a breath mint.

"Lucius" Voldemort said in a slight hiss. "You will not hurt her, nor Potter" Voldemort said as he turned to eye Harry. "You're parents were brave Potter, but they are not here to save you" Voldemort turned to eye Draco. "And you Draco have nobody. Nobody will save you nor will they give their life for you. You will not be missed" At that moment Draco felt more alone in the world than he ever had.

He had nobody. His mother was off gallivanting in god knows where and his father had abandoned him. Not even Hermione would save herself for him.

"You don't know that" Hermione said as she took a step towards the monster Voldemort himself. "I would miss him, and I would risk my life for him-" Hermione was cut off by Draco.

"No Hermione" Draco said as he pulled her back "Please don't. I'm not worth it" Draco whispered in Hermione's ear. Hermione pretended not to hear him and turned back to voldemort.

"Go on Voldemort I give my life for Draco" Hermione said as she boldly took a step forwards. Her heart was hammering in her chest as she did this. Voldemort's mouth turned upwards into a slight sneer as he glowered down at the students.

"No, I will not give you the satisfaction" Voldemort then turned his back on them and waved his wand. An unspoken curse was sent at Hermione and slowly she fell into Draco's arms unconscious. Draco lifted Hermione slightly and before slowly and gently placing Hermione on the ground with her back against the wall.

Voldemort smirked at this before casting a quick spell at Lucius. Lucius was forced to stand to his feet as he felt knifes being stuck into his legs by the spell Voldemort cast. "Bring them" Voldemort said as he retreated back into the shadows before spinning around with another sneer on his face. "Oh and Lucius… You failed you're last task miserably. This is you're chance to redeem yourself. If you are unable by any chance to bring them alive, I will kill you personally." He then retreated and Hermione heard the faint sound of a crack before Lucius's crackled voice was sent through the thick air.

"He never said I couldn't have any fun," Lucius said before he pointed his wand at Ron. "Crucio!"

Dumbledore sat at the front of the hall with an unusual look on his face. Slowly he leaned up in his seat to look around the talkative room before seating himself back down again after a moment. Something wasn't right… all students were accounted for they were positive. There was only one thought running through his mind as he began to panic slightly 'Everything is secure, all students are accounted for' Snape had told him. But Dumbledore had a bad feeling about this.

"Severus, can you keep an eye on the children for me while I step out. I feel it is my duty as the headmaster to be out there" Snape quickly stood and began mumbling something that Dumbledore just caught the gist of.

"Professor it is entirely to dangerous for you to step out there, I cannot allow you too," Snape said as he recoiled back into his chair uneasily. With this little statement it was all Dumbledore needed as an answer to his unthought plan.

"Severus it seems we are missing some students I shall go and find them" Dumbledore said as he slowly rose once more, before Snape quickly responded.

"No need, I'll do it" Snape said as he also quickly stood up and left the table. Dumbledore new what was going on immediately. So slowly he revealed his wand and pointed it at Snape.

"I'm going to ask you once and only once" Dumbledore said softly. "Have you been telling Voldemort my plans" Snape wisped around and stared at Dumbledore.

"No, I never Albus, sir… I am faithful to the light side and the light side only" Dumbledore nodded and his beard slowly moved.

"I'm sorry Severus, but that is the wrong answer" Dumbledore said before he waved his wand and a full body bind was sent flying to Snape. A few months ago Dumbledore had a feeling someone had been slipping voldemort information about the order but now he had proof. That person was Snape.

And how did Dumbledore know this? Well it was quiet simple really. Snape wanted the golden boy and his sidekick friend to crumble underneath the Dark Lord. When the fire alarm went off signalling everyone to go to the hall, Snape quickly planted a trap for Harry and Ron. So being the bumbling idiots they were, they fell straight into the trap. And when Snape hadn't seen Hermione or Draco yet, his planned couldn't have worked any better.

Quickly McGonagall came over with a shocked face. Luckily the hall hadn't noticed anything so Dumbledore quickly told McGonagall to watch over them and inform the minister for magic, while he secretly left the hall using a secret side door. Dumbledore walked down one of the many secret passages that he knew and entered an empty corridor.

In the distance Dumbledore heard screams coming from a male and female student, so he quickly walked along the corridor. Dumbledore revealed his wand in front of his body and continued walking. Just as he reached the Entrance Hall he heard the screams faintly stop and the sounds of many crack's filling the air.

Dumbledore's heart immediately dropped as he raced back into the great hall and informed all trustworthy staff members what he heard and whom he presumed was missing. And offcourse he was right.

"Albus, what do we do?" McGonagall said as he hands began to shake. Slowly she sat down and began to panic.

"Minerva you must stay strong, if not for me but for the students in the hall right now" Albus looked around the hall before quickly looking back to the teachers. "I presume you informed the ministry?" McGonagall nodded and looked down at her hands in her lap.

"Y-yes… right after you left, I owled them" Dumbledore turned to all the other teachers and addressed them quickly. He told them to stay and mind the students while McGonagall and he went out with the ministry. After a few minutes of explaining Dumbledore and McGonagall left the hall immediately and headed outside.

"Albus how do you know where to go?" McGonagall asked

"Only I and a few ministry people know Lucius Malfoy and other death eaters have been rescued from Azkaban. The first place all of them are going to go is to the Malfoy's. And I believe Voldemort is waiting for our attack"

Hermione breathed in deeply as her stomach whimpered in pain and rolled over on the nice comfy bed… wait a second bed? Slowly Hermione forced her eyes to open and they came into focus on a bedside table with a plush velvet green lamp shining brightly on it. Hermione's sleepy eyes blinked a few times before she breathed in harshly and sat up as far as her painful stomach would let her on bed.

Hermione looked around the room she was in. She was sitting on a dark green bed with bedposts in every corner and two bedside tables on either side of the bed. At the end of the bed was a chest of draws on the left wall and on the other wall was a large writing cabinet filled with hundreds of quills and plain pieces of parchment, well as far as Hermione could see with only one lamp shining so brightly.

Hermione looked at the large windows and immediately waddled off the bed before rushing over to them. Hermione pulled on the hatch to open the large window but it didn't budge. She pulled it again and let out a large groan as tears began to come into her eyes. The window was definitely locked.

When Hermione looked outside, the sun had been set for a while and darkness had indulged the sky. The stars were shining really brightly over the hundreds of bright green fields, for as far as Hermione could see anyways.

"Oh my god" Hermione wheezed out as she walked over to the bedpost and held onto it for support. "My stomach!" Hermione said as one tear trickled down her cheek. Hermione forcefully wiped it away before the bedroom door slammed open and in walked the man in all his glory.

"Ahh my dear mudblood? Is the room up to you're standards?" Voldemort said as he pulled the desk chair out into the middle of the room and sat on it graciously.

"Where am I?" Hermione bit back as held onto her excruciatingly painful stomach.

"That is for me to know and for you to never know" Voldemort said as his mouth turned into an evil sneer.

"Where's Draco? And Harry and Ron?" Hermione said in hysterics slightly. Her stomach gave a very unhealthy lunge and Hermione gripped onto it.

"Stop worrying" Voldemort said with a sneer. "You have a baby to think about now," He said in a cruel unusual tone. "Besides, if something happens to you before the feast tonight who is going to sit right next to me and Lucius?" Hermione's heart sank as he said this.

"Where are Draco, Harry and Ron?" Hermione repeated again. Voldemort could only smile before waving his wand. A silent spell was sent towards Hermione.

Hermione felt an overwhelming sensation come over her, before a tingly sort of feeling was sent rocketing downwards on her. Hermione looked down and gasped. She was wearing an all black plain dress with a long plunging line on her front, but stopped towards her breasts. The dress was silky and flowed down towards the ground where red and white silky pieces of material showed up out of nowhere, but flowed to the ground in tumbles also.

"Put me back in my clothes!" Hermione yelled as she took a few steps backwards and tried to cover her body. Voldemort could only smile at Hermione before standing up and waving his wand. The chair Voldemort had been sitting on flew back into its original place and he pointed his wand at Hermione.

"You shall attend the feast," He said before leaving the room. Hermione felt the same pulling sensation on her as she felt it earlier that year from Lucius Malfoy and before Hermione could realise what was happening she was following Voldemort into a large room with hundreds of death eaters waiting at the long rectangular eagerly.

Everyone became quiet as voldemort and Hermione entered and Voldemort seated Hermione right next to him and next to Lucius. Hermione was forced to sit down and Voldemort tapped his glass with his knife. "As I suspect Dumbledore is rounding up ministry officials to bombard the mansion we happen to be in right now. Dumbledore thinks we have no idea what is going on, but in all truth we planned the whole thing" Most of the death eaters laughed and Hermione scowled. "Enjoy this feast my honourable death eaters, as for some of you. It will be you're last meal ever" All death eaters cheered Voldemort who then sat down. After a few minutes of Hermione ignoring all entrée's being given to her Voldemort couldn't stand it.

"My dear mudblood" Voldemort said as he turned to Hermione. "This is the last feast you shall ever have… You're dead blood traitor husband would have wanted you to enjoy it" Voldemort said in an undertone. Hermione's face paled and she felt her heart drop.

"You're lying!" Hermione yelled as she angrily stood up. Lucius who was seated next to Hermione pulled on her arm strongly and forced her to sit down.

"Don't make a scene," Lucius said in a sneer.

"You're not my father" Hermione spat. "You can't tell me what to do" Lucius's evil face turned into a smile and Hermione felt sick just looking at him. "You let your own son die? What kind of a monster are you?" Hermione said on the verge of tears.

"The kind of monster that lets his own son die" Voldemort said with a smile as he entered their conversation. As soon as Voldemort said that the food appeared on the table and all death eaters began eating hungrily.

Hermione and all other death eaters paused for a moment as they heard the hundreds of ministry officials try to curse their way past the spells protecting the mansion.

"It seems our dear Dumbledore is smarter than I thought. The feast shall have to wait" Voldemort said as his voice grew louder and he stood up. "ALL DEATH EATERS TO THE GROUNDS! WE ATTACK NOW" Hermione quickly stood up as she felt this was an opportunity to escape. "Ah, ah, uh" Voldemort said as his sly fingers wrapped around Hermione's upper arm. "You're coming with me" Voldemort pulled Hermione out of the room as all death eaters mask's came on and they screamed whilst running out of the room. A few of them blew wholes in the wall and a few more blasted their way through other doors.

"Let me go! Let go!" Hermione screamed in a high pitch voice as she punched Voldemort on the hand as he dragged her through the empty Mansion halls to an unknown room at the end of a dark and gloomy hallway. He threw Hermione inside and sneered before closing the door and magically concealing the whole room.

Hermione sat on the floor in the room. Her heart was thundering at a million miles an hour and the sounds of the new war going on outside. "Why me!" Hermione could only scream as she banged her hands into the ground and she began to sob into her hands after a moment.

"Help"

Hermione stopped crying for a moment as she heard someone faintly scream help, but Hermione must have thought it was her imagination.

"Help!" The faint person screamed again.

That time Hermione definitely heard it. Hermione stood up and walked towards the wall on the far side of the room.

"HELP!" The voice said more loudly this time. Hermione heard it perfectly and pounded her fist to the wall.

"DRACO! DRACO" Hermione screamed from her side of the wall.

"Hermione! Are you alright?" Draco yelled back.

"IM FINE!" Hermione yelled. "HOW DO WE GET OUT OF HERE?"

"I'm not sure," Draco yelled. There was a few minutes or silence and Hermione became slightly worried.

"Draco! Are you there? DRACO" Hermione yelled as she banged her fists on the wall once more. There was no response and Hermione slid down the wall to the ground.

Hermione's room door opened and in walked Lucius Malfoy with his wand firmly in his hand. He looked like he had been out at the fight, as to his clothes were all ruffled and he looked tired. Hermione barely took any notice and just looked into thin air.

"Follow me" Lucius commanded. Hermione sat firmly in her spot and didn't move an inch. "Do you want to live or die?" Lucius asked rudely.

"I want to live offcourse," Hermione said as she looked up like what he said was the most preposterous thing in the world.

"Then come with me" Something about the way Lucius said that made Hermione feel a little bit at ease. So slowly she stood up and followed Lucius out of the room.

Once Hermione got out of her room she saw Draco, Harry and Ron standing in the middle of the corridor all looking shabby. Hermione didn't care though. She waddled into Draco's arms and wrapped her arms firmly around his chest. She planted a big kiss on his lips before pulling away and resting her head in his chest.

"You idiot" Hermione said as began to cry into his chest. "You complete moron! I was so worried!" Hermione said.

"Quickly follow me," Lucius said as he began to walk away, but stopped once he realised Hermione and Draco weren't following. "What's wrong?" Lucius asked.

"You" Draco said as he limped forwards with his arm hanging over Hermione's shoulder and his other arm hanging over Harry's "Why are you helping us? You hate me Lucius" Draco muttered.

"I don't hate you. You are my son, I love you and what the mudblood said about me being a monster really got to me" Lucius walked forwards and kissed Draco's forehead. "The dark lord is losing outside, and I just wanted you to know that before I die… so I do love you, thus the reason I am saving all four of you-"

"I don't think you are saving them Lucius" Voldemort said as he suddenly appeared behind him. "You are a traitor to. So now, I am going to kill you" Voldemort was quick to reveal his wand and quickly Harry grabbed Lucius's wand and pointed it at Voldemort. "You will lose Potter, just like you're pathetic father and mother"

"AVADA KEDAVRA" Both two men screamed at the same time. Their wands hit in mid air and a bright shining light was sent glowing through the air.

"RUN!" Lucius screamed. "WE HAVE TO GET AWAY"

"I'm not leaving without Harry!" Ron screamed but was muffled by Lucius pulling the three away. They managed to get all the way down to the bottom floor before Draco stopped suddenly.

"What is it?" Ron asked as he looked around.

"Nothing… just go wait in that room over there, and don't let anyone see you ok" Draco instructed before heading into a different room. "Hello?" Draco said as he closed the door behind him.

"Draco?" A soft motherly voice said from behind a couch. Draco limped over to behind the couch and found his mother crouching down. She had a lot of bruises over her arms and a black eye along with a cut lip.

"Mother!" Draco said as he hurriedly bent down and put his jacket around her arms. "What happened?" Narcissa shook her head as tears fell from her eyes.

"Nothing love, come on help me up" Draco new she was lying but help her up none the less. They quickly left the room and entered the room Hermione, Lucius and Ron were in. "Hermione love" Narcissa said as she wrapped her arm around Hermione's shoulders.

"Mum, come on we need to get out of here, it isn't safe to go outside. A new war is taking place… where can we g-" Before Draco got the chance to finish a loud screeching noise was sent through the entire mansion and grounds.

Everyone stopped fighting and stared at the mansion. After a few seconds the screeching noise died down and a blinding green light was sent through the mansion. Hermione dropped to the ground and covered her eyes along with half the wizards and witches there.

"I think it's safe to look" Ron muttered as he looked up lightly. Hermione and Draco both looked up and found the room was now filled with a thick fog.

"I think" Hermione started as tears came to her eyes. "The light side just won" Hermione's hand clasped Draco's as they both slowly stood up. They looked up to the top of the stairs where one body began making its way down.

The body reached the bottom of the stairs and Hermione burst out laughing, everyone stared at her like she was mad and Ron ran forwards and wrapped his arms around Harry.

"We won" Hermione muttered as she turned to face Draco. Draco smiled and leaned forwards before pressing his lips to Hermione's. "Where free" Hermione muttered.

"I can't believe it" Draco said in a happy voice before he merrily picked Hermione up and spun her around, ignoring the fact that his leg was in pain.

"We need to show them who won" Harry muttered as he headed towards the front door. Hermione and Draco followed Harry and Ron out the front door and they second they stepped outside the entire light side went up in cheers. They walked down to the grounds where all death eaters were being rounded up and magically bound. They received a lot of 'Congratulations' and pats on the back before Dumbledore handed the four of them a portkey to head back to school with.
