Chapter 21
Hermione broke down. Her lover hands were bound to the ceiling and he had blood and dark bruises all over his body. His hair hang around his shoulders and Hermione wasn't sure that he had heard her. She ran over to him. Took his face in her hands and removed some of the hair from around his face.
"Rabastan? Please my love, open your eyes." Hermione pleaded.
"Hello Sunshine," he managed to get out before he started to cough.
"I am so sorry Rab, forgive me. Please forgive me." Hermione sobbed and held onto him tight.
"Oh Hermione. It's me who should apologize. Don't cry love." Rabastan said, enjoying that she was there holding onto him.
"We are going to get you out of here Rab, I am not going to leave you." Hermione said determined.
"How will you do that?" Rabastan said and looked at Hermione. One of his eyes was swollen and had a nasty cut over it.
"Ginny and Luna are going to help. Do you think you can apparate us all back to the manor with your mark?" Hermione asked as she started to cut the rope holding Rabastan up.
"I think we just need a few minutes so our magic can start working again. These restraints have slowly absorbed our magic." Rabastan said as Hermione got the last rope off. Rabastan fell forward and Hermione just barely caught him without losing her footing.
"Stay here while I check on the others. I'll be right back." Hermione said and helped Rabastan over to the wall.
"Don't worry love, I am not sure I can go anywhere right now." Rabastan said and started to cough again. Hermione went over to him and kissed him quickly.
"I love you, Rab." Hermione said.
"I love you, too." Rabastan said, putting his forehead on hers.
"Stay here, I am going to see if they got Draco and Antonin free." Hermione said and rushed from the room. She found Draco standing in the small hallway, using the wall for support.
"Are you okay Draco?" Hermione asked.
"I will be. Go help Luna, she is trying to get Antonin down. He is in a much worse state than I am." Draco said.
Hermione rushed inside and only got over to Antonin in the last second before he collapsed and almost knocking Luna over.
"Damn it Dolohov." Hermione hissed as she tried to get him up so they could move.
They managed to drag Antonin out of the room. Draco took a hold on the wizard.
"Get Rabastan, we got him." Luna said. Together her and Draco managed to get the wizard over to the door where Ginny was waiting.
Hermione rushed over to Rabastan and took his arm over her shoulder, supporting him.
"We need to get out of the house before we can apparate." Draco said as they struggled to get Antonin up the stairs.
They managed to get him up to Ginny, who helped get the wizard up the last couple of stairs.
When Hermione got Rabastan up they started to walk to the front door, right behind the others when Ginny suddenly stopped.
"Oh no." Ginny said and looked up the stairs.
"What? What is it?" Hermione asked when they stopped right behind them.
"Remus is coming. He knows something is wrong." Ginny said as she quickly dashed towards the door. Yanking it open.
"Quickly!" Ginny hissed as she looked up the stairs and saw Remus come down off them.
"I knew it!" Remus yelled.
"Go!" Ginny screamed as she pushed Draco and Luna towards the door. Remus yelling had the order members running down the stairs shooting spells at them.
"Remus stop it!" Ginny hissed at him when she managed to dodge a spell. The older werewolf stopped looking at her.
"You? You're alpha?" Remus whispered while dropping his wand, feeling the power to submit to the young werewolf.
Rabastan was trying to get Hermione out the door when the spells started to fly around them.
"Go!" Rabastan yelled at Draco who stood outside the door struggling with the weight of Antonin who was still not moving.
"Luna, hold on!" Draco said as he touched his Dark Mark apparating them back to Malfoy Manor.
"Ginny, come on!" Hermione yelled when Rabastan pushed her towards the door. The entire household came running down the stairs towards them.
Harry stopped as he saw Ginny standing before them. Her hair flying around her, all the while she looked hard at Remus.
"Hermione? What are you doing?" Harry screamed when he saw Hermione standing with Rabastan.
"We are leaving." Hermione said as she dodged another spell. The spells were flying around them, and one of them got Hermione on her shoulder. She felt the blood starting to soak her clothes.
"I am going to kill you for this!" Rabastan hissed at Sirius who had shot the spell at Hermione.
"I look forward to it. You traitorous bitch!" Sirius yelled shooting spell after spell towards them.
"Ginny, come on!" Hermione yelled, all the while trying to get the blood to stop flowing down her arm. Ginny looked one last time at her family before she ran to Hermione throwing a shield charm, protecting them while they got out of the door.
"Hold on!" Rabastan said as he touched his mark and apparated them back to safety.
They landed in the middle of the drawing room, and Rabastan collapsed. He had used a lot of his power to get them back to safety. Hermione sat down beside him feeling dizzy from the blood loss.
"Rabastan!" Rodolphus exclaimed quickly, getting his brother up from the floor, helping him to stand. Bellatrix rushed over to Hermione, getting her up and healed her wound.
"Are you alright?" Bellatrix asked, looking Hermione over.
"I'm fine. Just a bit dizzy. Did everyone make it back?" Hermione asked, looking around.
"Yes they did. Dolohov and Draco are being looked over by a healer, we should get you looked over too. Come on, the Dark Lord wants to talk to you after." Bellatrix said as she followed after her husband and his brother.
"Where is Rabastan? I need to see him!" Hermione panicked.
"Calm down Hermione, I will take you to him as soon as we have someone look you over." Bellatrix said.
"Promise?" Hermione asked as she let Bellatrix lead her to a small bedroom.
"I promise. Carrow, this is Hermione Granger." Bellatrix said as they entered the small bedroom. A little witch with flaming red hair stood looking at Hermione.
"I have heard a lot about you Hermione, but never had the pleasure to introduce myself. My name is Alecto Carrow, I trained as a healer before I got my mark." Alecto said and smiled.
"Alecto is a good friend of mine, she will take good care of you." Bellatrix said as she helped Hermione over to the bed.
"Stay here? Please Bella." Hermione pleaded. She was still a bit wary of the other witch.
"Is it alright with you Ally?" Bellatrix asked and looked at Alecto.
"It's alright, if you will please lay down on the bed, then I am going to do some enchantments to see if everything is alright." Alecto said.
Hermione did as the witch told her to, and watched as Alecto said some enchantments and made some movements with her wand.
After a few minutes, she summoned a couple of vials.
"Everything is in perfect order, but you are stressed, and need a blood-replenishing potion and this here is a calming draught. Take them both, and then you can be on your way." Alecto smiled.
"What about the baby? Is it okay?" Hermione asked, taking Bellatrix hand in hers, squeezing it slightly.
"The baby is fine, nothing is wrong at all." Alecto said.
"Oh, thank Merlin!" Bellatrix exclaimed and Hermione let out a breath.
"Thank you, Ally." Bellatrix said.
"Yes, thank you." Hermione said.
"You're welcome, I have to go and check on the others, you are free to go, but I would try not to move too much today. Try and relax." Alecto said as she walked out the room.
"Can I go see Rabastan now?" Hermione asked, already halfway to the door.
"Slow down Hermione, I am going to take you there, just relax." Bellatrix laughed.
"I'm sorry, I have just missed him, and I didn't get a chance to tell him about the baby." Hermione said.
"Don't worry, you'll get your time now." Bellatrix said as she walked down the hall.
Hermione was nervous, what would Rabastan say to it? He was going to be a father. Does he want children? What will happen if he doesn't want the child? Did he forgive her for her actions before he got captured? Hermione was so nervous.
They came to Rabastan's room, Rodolphus had just walked out of the door.
"Is he alright?" Bellatrix asked.
"He is going to be fine, he needs sleep and needs to relax, to make sure his magic gets back in order again." Rodolphus said.
"Can I see him?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, he asked after you. We'll get some food for both of you." Rodolphus said and moved so she could enter.
"Thank you." Hermione said and moved inside. She closed the door after her and turned around. Rabastan was lying in bed, eyes closed and looking better. He was bathed and some of the cuts were healed.
"Rab? Are you sleeping?" Hermione asked as she gently sat down on the bed.
"Mmh, come lie with me?" Rabastan said and moved over so she could lie down beside him. Hermione took the covers up and moved to lie beside Rabastan, who made sure to pull her close.
"How are you feeling?" Hermione asked, while she enjoyed the feeling of him so close again.
"A bit sore and so goddamn tired. I feel like my body is sleeping, because of the magic restraints. It's going to take a day or two for my magic to be in full control again. According to the healer, as long as I relax I should be fine in a day or two." Rabastan said, kissing her forehead.
"Rabastan? I am so sorry about everything, I should have done it, I should have killed Ronald and then you wouldn't have been captured. This is all my fault." Hermione said with tears running down her face.
"Hey, hey, don't cry love, don't cry. Look at me!" Rabastan said, taking her face in his hands.
Hermione looked up in his eyes. He removed some of the tears from her face, his thumbs caressing her face.
"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself. I shouldn't have lost my head like that, and for that I am sorry. I don't deserve you. You are kind and loving, and god damn I am so in love with you that it scares the shit out of me. I love you so much, and I just hope you can forgive me for yelling at you." Rabastan said.
"I love you too Rab!" Hermione said before she crashed her lips together with his.
Hermione loved the feeling of his lips on hers, they fit perfectly together. His tongue came out darting around her lips, begging for entrance. Hermione opened her mouth and let their tongue battle each other. They snogged for quite some time, before they had to come up for air.
"I love you Rabastan, so much. I am so sorry about everything." Hermione said again.
"It's in the past, let's forget about it and move forward." Rabastan said as he pulled her down to him again.
They lay in each other's arms for a while, before Hermione got the courage she needed.
"Rab? Are you still awake?" Hermione whispered.
"Mmh," came the response.
"I need to tell you something." Hermione said.
"Mmh, what?" he said, sleepy.
Hermione didn't know how she should tell him, so she just blurted out.
"I'm pregnant!."
