***Well because I haven't update in a week here is another chapter. I am not sure if I will have enough time to update this week but hope I will have. See you soon! And I HOPE you enjoy reading!
The snatchers arrived at the Malfoy Manor with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Once inside the Manor Harry looked at his two friends from his place. Bellatrix had made him kneel. Bellatrix looked at Narcissa and said ''Get Draco''. When Hermione heard what Bellatrix said, she widened her eyes and looked down. Ron saw that and took her hand and squeezed it.
Narcissa was watching with pure fear the scene in front of her. Her daughter-in-law along with her friends was in the hands of her dangerous sister. She felt her heart stop when Bellatrix said to her to go and fetch Draco. Narcissa knew that her son will be hurt when he would see his lovely wife in the mercy of some death eaters. But she did as she was told.
Few minutes later Draco walked in the scene with his mother who went and stood beside Lucius. Draco closed his eyes and took a deep breath to hold himself from crying when he saw Hermione held back from one of the snatchers. He looked at her and the two locked eyes for seconds. Hermione looked down and felt the tears stream down her face. Draco looked in front of him where Bellatrix was and saw Harry in a kneeling position. Before he could say something Bellatrix spoke ''Well'' she nodded at him waiting for an answer
Draco looked at the floor and said ''I can't be sure''
Lucius walked towards him and grab him from the back of his neck. Hermione tensed but couldn't move. Lucius spoke ''But look at him carefully, look! Come closer! Draco, if we are the ones who hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything will be forgiven. Your mistakes with the mudblood will be forgiven my son.''
Draco looked at him with hater in his eyes ''I don't care for him and you are not my father'' Draco said in a cold tone.
Lucius squeezed the back of Draco's neck and made Draco flinched. ''You will do as you are command boy. Do not forget what the Dark Lord said. The mudblood is in my house and that means that she is my prisoner and I can do whatever I want with her. Don't play with me'' He whispered in his ear
Draco closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then nodded and started to move closer to Harry. He didn't have the choice to do anything else and he was ashamed of his self. Bellatrix smiled and took Draco's hand and he kneeled in front of Harry ''Don't be shy sweetie, come over. Now if this isn't who we think it is, Draco, and we call him, he'll kill us all. We need to be absolutely sure.'' Bellatrix said
Draco looked at Harry trying to make him understand that he didn't want to do it. When Harry nodded Draco spoke ''What's wrong with his face?''
Bellatrix eyed Harry and Draco and then looked at Scabior and said ''Yes, what is wrong with his face?''
Scabior looked at Bellatrix and said ''He came to us like that, something he picked up in the forest I reckon.''
Bellatrix looked at Hermione when she stood up ''Or ran into a stinging jinx. Was it you deary? Give me her wand, we'll see what her last spell was. Ah ha, I got you. Ha!'' she said and laughed but gasped when she saw in the hand of one of the snatchers the sword of Gryffindor. ''What's that? Where did you get that from?'' She asked the snacher with sock all over her face.
The snatcher looked at her in boredom and said ''It was in her back when we searched it. I guess it's mine now''
Bellatrix aimed her wand and send the snatcher away and hurt the other two snatchers. She then turned around and went towards Ron and Hermione and yelled ''Cissy, put the boys in the cellar! I'm going to have a conversation with this one, girl to girl."
Hermione was breathing hard and was trying to not cry. When Narcissa handed Harry and Ron to Pettigrew with remorse she went and stood beside her son to give him a little strength.
When Bellatrix threw Hermione to the floor roughly and Hermione cried out in pain Draco took a step forward with his wand ready in his hand when Narcissa stopped him. Draco looked at her with pain in his eyes but Narcissa just mouthed. ''Lucius'' and Draco widen his eyes and returned to his place. He couldn't look Hermione being tortured.
Suddenly Bellatrix yelled ''CRUCIO'' and Hermione started to scream from pain. She stopped the curse and went in front of Hermione and yelled ''That sword is meant to be in my vault at Gringotts, how did you get it? Did you and your friends take it from my vault?''
Hermione shook her head and cried out in pain again when Bellatrix used the cruciatus curse on her for the second time.
After few second she stopped and said ''I want an answer mudblood''
Hermione looked at her with tears in her eyes and said ''I didn't take anything. Please. I didn't take anything.''
Bellatrix shook her head ''Crucio'' she yelled and when she heard the screams she said ''I don't believe it mudblood''
''Please stop it. Please'' Hermione pleaded while shaking from the curse.
Bellatrix called the Goblin from the dungeons and while she was questioning him in a corner Draco looked at Hermione and his own tears were streaming down his face. He went to move and walk towards her but Hermione shook her head and whisper ''No, please, don't help me. She will kill you''
Draco took a deep breath and more tears fell from his eyes. He was looking at Hermione when Bellatrix yelled ''Liar! Consider yourself lucky, goblin.'' After that she turned and walked towards Hermione. ''You are not any use for me any longer.'' She said and Draco widened his eyes when he saw her aiming her wand to Hermione ready to cast the killing curse.
''AVADA-'' Bellatrix yelled
''STUPEFY'' Draco yelled and Bellatrix fell to the floor stunned. Draco run to Hermione and took her to his arms.
''ENOUGH'' Lucius yelled and Draco and Hermione looked at his raised wand.
''Lucius please, let them be'' Narcissa said but before she could say anything else she fell to the floor screaming in pain.
Draco and Hermione widened their eyes
''NO'' Draco yelled and lunched himself to his father to free his mother from the curse. Lucius aimed his wand at Draco and sent him flying to a wall.
''DRACO'' Hermione yelled and went to run to him but Lucius grabbed her from her wrists. ''NO! Let me go! Please!'' She cried and tried to push him away. Draco opened his eyes and saw Lucius grabbing Hermione from her wrists hard. He tried to stand up but he couldn't. He felt pain at his back and thought that he had broken few ribs. ''Lucius, let her go. I beg you. Kill me - Kill me instead of Hermione'' Draco pleaded
''I plan on killing all of you.'' Lucius said and threw Hermione to the floor
''Say goodbye to the world you filthy mudblood'' Lucius said and aimed his wand at her
''NOOO'' Draco yelled and tears filled his eyes again
Before Lucius could say something else he was on the floor crying out in pain. Hermione turned around and cried out in happiness when she saw her father standing there. ''You will never touch a single hair of my daughter again Lucius.'' He said while walking towards Lucius.
Hermione run to Draco and helped him to his feet. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. Narcissa stood up as well and went and took Ron and Harry along with Luna from the dungeons. When they walked at the room they saw Severus using a stunner to Lucius and then turning to Draco and Hermione.
''Daddy'' Hermione yelled and fell to his arms. Tears fell from her eyes
''My sweet princess! My baby girl It's alright. I am here love!'' Severus whispered to her ear while holding her tight.
The two pulled away and Hermione saw Luna ''Luna'' she said and hugged the younger girl tight
''I am fine Mione. Don't worry. I am okay.'' Luna said and Hermione pulled away and kissed her head. She then went to Draco who immediately wrapped his arms around her again.
Hermione looked at Narcissa and said ''I think Draco has broken some of his ribs. You have to fix him''
Narcissa walked to her son and run her wand in front of him and when she saw which ribs he had broken she healed them all. When she was sure her son was fine she said ''You have to leave now. We are not sure if more death eaters start to come in here''
''Narcissa is right. You have to leave. We will modify the memories of those who have taken you because the Dark Lord can't know anything about this meeting.'' Severus said and looked at Narcissa who nodded
Narcissa went to Draco and hugged him ''Go with them. You have to stay with Hermione. She need you and you need her'' She whispered in his ear.
Draco looked at her and whispered back ''I love you mother. Be careful. Let's go'' Draco said and he took Hermione hand.
Severus walked up to the couple and hugged Hermione ''Be safe my love. Be strong. You hear me?'' He said and kissed her head
Hermione gave him a small smile and said ''I love you daddy. Take care of yourself.'' He gave her one final squeeze and let her free.
''Just think of Shell Cottage. I will explain everything there.'' Ron said and with Harry they aparrated there.
''Luna let's go.'' Hermione said and took her hand and thought about Shell Cottage.
Few minutes later she appeared beside Ron and Harry with Draco and Luna by her side.
