Escaping

"Hurt me! Not her!" Draco roared as my body shook from the pain of yet another curse smashing into my body torturing me from the inside out. I refused to give them the satisfaction of screaming so I did all I could to stay quiet. Two days had passed and so far all we knew was that Scorpius was upstairs, they wanted to purify his blood, whatever that meant, and raise him with 'true beliefs of the wizarding world'. As much as I didn't want to believe a man could be so cruel to his son, it turned out that Lucius had taken us along with Rodolphus Lestrange and Fenrir Greyback. How no one had noticed three high security prisoners escaped from Azkaban I'd never know, maybe they were keeping it quiet so as not to scare anyone so soon since the war but here we were.

"Hurting her hurts you filth." Lucius hissed smirking the infamous Malfoy smirk as he cast curse after curse. I felt as though my body was being torn apart but I had to stay strong. This would end soon, Lucius always got bored in the end.

"I'll kill you for this." Draco hissed back at his father earning himself a fresh gash across his chest.

"Draco shut up." I snapped knowing the longer he kept fighting them, the longer this would continue. Draco looked a little shocked as Lucius chuckled darkly.

"Looks like the mudblood is sick of your voice too." He smirked as Draco growled trying to fight the restraints.

"I told you days ago she hates me. She remembers what you all made me do." Draco snapped and I knew he was playing along. Lucius chuckled as he stared between us.

"Well in that case… Imperio." He flicked his wand across as Draco. This certainly was not what we had planned. Draco's eyes glazed over and Lucius removed his restraints. I couldn't tell what was going on in Draco's mind right now but it seemed to be a battle. He stepped towards me and grabbed me by the arms menacingly. I could see he was trying to fight but Lucius' control was getting too strong.

"Draco don't" I yelped quickly as his grip got tighter burning my skin. Draco froze for a second and I knew how hard he was fighting. My voice seemed to trigger something in me, as much as I tried to push back the memories that flashed through my mind I had to get through to him.

"Draco its me. Please Draco don't do this, it's me" I pleaded quietly trying to meet his eyes and reach to him.

"He can't help it." Lucius chuckled menacingly as Draco tossed me against the wall causing dizziness to flood through me as my head hit the cold wall.

"Draco please, I love you." I blurted not caring that Lucius was in the room. Draco froze and blinked a few times. Finally his eyes returned to normal and he stepped back.

"I'm so sorry." He muttered holding my face gently before his eyes slid to my neck line.

"It's fine." I muttered smiling softly at him before my world faded to black.

I groaned as I came back around, Draco was watching me from his side of the room.

"Are you ok?" He said quietly when he noticed that I was awake again.

"I'm fine, thank you for fighting that curse." I mumbled feeling groggy as I stretched my neck. Hitting the wall had really taken it all out of me.

"Yeh but I couldn't fight it before I hurt you again." Draco sighed loudly. Clearly he was beating himself up over it but he had to know that I was more grateful for him fighting the curse than anything he did while he was under it.

"Draco, don't blame yourself, I'm fine." I replied quickly trying to calm his guilt.

"I've found a way out of here Hermione." He replied barely above a whisper staring at me as he spoke. I blinked a few times trying not to get my hopes up too much.

"How?" I questioned quickly struggling to hold on to hope that there actually was a way out of there.

"My father took my ring because he knew it was linked to my mother's ring, we can contact each other and send messages for the others to follow, what he doesn't know is that I've linked your necklace to my mother and Scorpius baby bracelet too." He said quickly. Pulling my necklace out of my top I looked down at it, despite everything that had gone on I'd never wanted to take this off, it was somewhat of a reminder of all the good times we'd had before this had all started being so much more complicated.

"So I can contact your mother?" Draco nodded quickly.

"Hold it and think of a message, it'll burn when she's got it, and it'll sound like a voice in your head if she replies. After that she can apparate straight to you. She doesn't know that your necklace is linked to her ring so she wouldn't have tried it. The link doesn't work unless someone is wearing it. I'm guessing he's taken Scorpius' off or my mother would have tried that I'm sure." I nodded letting him know I'd understood. Taking the necklace in my hand I squeezed it tightly and thought of Narcissa.

Narcissa it's Hermione, Lucius has Draco, Scorpius and I, apparate to my necklace. You're our only hope.

The necklace burned almost instantly causing me to gasp.

"She's got it!" I whispered feeling my heart pound into my chest. I was praying something good would come from this.

"Thank god" Draco muttered closing his eyes as though he was praying for a little hope.

Hermione thank goodness, I will come the moment darkness falls in an hour or so, until then stay strong

"She's coming in an hour, when its dark." I replied cheerfully breathing a sigh of relief. Draco smiled softly.

"And now we wait" He said into the coldness, we didn't speak much all we could do was wait and hope for the best.

**** 1 hour later****

Narcissa appeared next to me with a loud crack. Jumping out of my skin I tried to calm my breath as Narcissa released both of us.

"Oh thank god you're ok. We have to get Scorpius and go." Her voice was so calm, it was astounding how she remained so composed.

"Oh my dear Narcissa, I should've known you were a traitor too." Lucius' silky voice drifted across the room as he was flanked by Rodolphus and Fenrir. Draco and I shifted to face them Draco placing his arm across me. We were completely unarmed and there was no way Narcissa could fight all three of them. There was a second of silence as all of us realised the gravity of the situation.

"You should've known I'd do anything for my son Lucius." Narcissa replied carefully stepping back slowly so that we were all grouped together.

"Bombarda" Narcissa's voice said softly pointing her wand at the corner of the wall next to Lucius. The explosion shook the walls and the building began to shake. The three men were blown to the side and all were groaning.

"Jeez mum that was dangerous, you could've taken the whole place down." Draco said taking my hand as the three of us skipped over the groaning men and supported each other up the stairs. We had to find Scorpius and this place certainly didn't seem stable anymore.

"Sometimes big actions are necessary to beat obnoxious opponents dear." I laughed at Narcissa's silky voice. She was a smart woman. We found Scorpius in a small bed in one of the highest room of the little dingy house. He looked very pale and had a cut on his tiny eyebrow.

"Oh my boy, what have they done to you?" Draco said scooping Scorpius up and cradling him to his bloody chest.

"Sectumsempra" The curst smashed into my back before any of us could turn around. As I went crashing to the floor as the cold drench of blood seeped down my back. Spells shot back and forth between Lucius and Narcissa while Draco attempted to cradle Scorpius and check I was ok.

"I'm gunna be ok Draco." I said lifting myself to my knees through the pain. Rodolphus appeared in the door.

"Purpura Pulvia" The purple jet shot across the room in slow motion. I saw it heading straight for my chest but I felt frozen as I watched it happening. Draco's head turned just in time to see the curse heading my way. In a flash he spun in front of me and allowed the curse to hit him in the back, still holding Scorpius.

"Draco!" I yelled as Narcissa exploded shooting both men backwards once more causing the house to violently shake. Draco began coughing and blood sputtered out as he shifted Scorpius towards me and fell forward losing consciousness quickly. I had to do something, had to help. Of course the curse he'd taken from me was making him worse, he was weaker than he would be normally, I'd almost forgotten. I knew I had to help him. I thought back to the spell he'd used on me.

"Loco eius Maledictionem in me avertet illud" I muttered with every bit of strength I had left to focus on wandless magic. Draco glowed and a gasp of air seemed to leave him and flowed towards me. I felt things feeling dizzy but I knew I had to stay awake. Narcissa hurried over leaving the two men behind her unconscious.

"Narcissa take the boys. Come back for me." I said quickly handing her Scorpius as I tried to catch my breath.

"Hermione, my son will never forgive me for leaving you, even for a second." I glared at her feeling my anger rise.

"Narcissa I will never forgive you if anything happens to either of them, I'll be fine. You'll be a few seconds." I instructed quickly. Knowing I wouldn't take no for an answer. She couldn't take two fully grown adults and a child with her but those two needed to be safe first.

"I see what my son likes in you." She smirked before turning on the spot and vanishing with the boys. As soon as she was gone Lucius began to stir, he glared at me.

"You stupid little mudblood" He hissed as he hoisted himself up. I saw him raising his wand and I couldn't control what was happening. I felt scared and confused and pained and before I knew it everything exploded.
