147. Malfoy Manor and Lestrange

**Hermione's POV**

As soon as we Apparated to the woods, Ron fell.

"Ron" I knelt next to him.

"Luna- She- She- How-" He mumbled.

"Don't worry Ron. We'll get her back" Fred assured him.

"How can You-Know-Who even get to her?" Ron said.

"It's You-Know-Who, Ron. He can do anything" George said.

"I'm not gonna stop until I get her back. I'll get her back if it's the last thing we do" Ron stood up.

"Is there no one we can trust? Luna's Dad nearly killed us" George said.

"They kidnapped Luna because he supported me" Harry said. "He was just desperate."

"I'll go do the enchantments," Ron said.

"I'll go with him. He might go mental" George said and followed Ron.

Someone then Disapparated.

"Guys" George said as he and Ron stopped dead in their tracks.

"Hello, beautiful" A voice said behind me.

Fred and I turned around and the Snatcher we saw that smells my perfume had my scarf.

"Run. Run" Harry yelled and we ran.

"Well don't hang about, snatch them" The main Snatcher said and we ran even faster.

"Ah!" I shrieked as a spell almost hit me and Fred.

"Run, 'Mione" Fred took my hand as we were still running.

"Stupefy!" I shot a spell behind me and a Snatcher fell back.

As soon me and Fred were surrounded, Harry came and I shot a spell at him.

"'Mione!" Fred said.

I then dragged Fred over to Harry and I took Harry's glasses.

"The Hallows exist. But he's only after one of them, the last one" Harry sat up. "He knows where it is."

"What-" Fred started.

"He's gonna have it by the end of the night. You-Know-Who's found the Elder Wand" Harry said.

I was then grabbed by the arm.

"Don't touch her!" Fred yelled as he was held back, as well.

"Leave him!" I said.

Ron and George were then brought to us.

"Get off me" Fred struggled.

"Your boyfriend will get worse than that if he doesn't behave himself" The main Snatcher warned.

"Fred- Please- Stop" I begged him.

He took a deep breath, and he stopped.

As soon as the main Snatcher saw Harry, he asked "What happened to you ugly?"

Greyback and Harry both looked at him.

"Not you, Greyback" The Snatcher said. "What's your name?"

"Dudley. Vernon Dudley" Harry responded.

"Check it" The Snatcher walked over to me.

"And you, my lovely, what do they call you?" He asked me.

"Penelope Clearwaters, half-blood" I said.

The Snatcher then sniffed.

"There's no Vernon Dudley on here" A Snatcher told him.

"Do you hear that, ugly? The list says you're lying" Greyback said. "How come you don't want us to know who you are?"

"The list's wrong. I told you who I am" Harry said.

The main Snatcher looked at Harry, and saw his scar.

"Change of plan" He said. "We're not taking this lot to the Ministry."

They soon Apparated us to Merlin knows where.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"Shut it" A Snatcher told me.

As soon as we got to the gates, we saw Bellatrix Lestrange.

The main Snatcher pushed Harry to the gate, and Lestrange said "Get Draco."

The gates soon opened and we entered.

"Malfoy Manor" George said before he was hit.

"No talking" A Snatcher told him.

We were taken to the living room of Malfoy Manor and found Malfoy and his family.

Harry was then handed to Lestrange and he pulled Harry by the neck.

"Well?" She asked Malfoy who was standing in front of them.

"I can't be sure," He said.

"Draco," Mr. Malfoy said. "Look closely, son. If we are the ones to hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything would be forgiven. All would be as it was, you understand?"

"Now we won't be forgetting who actually got him, I hope, Mr. Malfoy" The main Snatcher cut in.

"You dare talk to me like that in my own house?" Mr. Malfoy snapped at him.

"Lucius" Mrs. Malfoy said and pulled her husband back.

"Don't be a shy sweetie," Lestrange said to Malfoy. "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."

"What's wrong with his face?" Malfoy asked.

"Yes, what is wrong with his face?" Lestrange asked.

"He came just like that" The main Snatcher said. "Something he picked up in the forest, I reckon."

"Or ran into a Stinging Jinx. Was it you, dearie?" Lestrange asked me.

She walked up to me and Fred who were being held by the same Snatcher.

"Give me her wand. We'll see what her last spell was" Lestrange said.

I began to breathe heavily and Lestrange laughed "Ah, Got you."

She then gasped at the sight of the Sword of Gryffindor.

"What is that?" She asked in a whisper. "Where'd you get that from?"

"It was in her bag when we searched her. Reckon it's mine now" The Snatcher hat had the Sword smiled.

Lestrange then shot a spell at him, grabbed the Sword, and then at a few other Snatchers.

"Go! Get out!" Lestrange yelled.

Lestrange then walked over to me and Fred.

"Cissy, put the boys in the cellar" Lestrange grabbed Fred and pushed him to Mrs. Malfoy. "I want to have a talk with this one, girl-to-girl."

"No! Take me! Take me instead!" Fred pleaded.

"No, Fred. Please" I said.

"You'll be the next Blood Traitor," Lestrange warned Fred.

"'Mione! 'Mione!" Fred yelled until his voice was only an echo.
