The Wrath of Lord Voldemort… (Part 13)

The car was rolling to a sudden stop. Hermione was looking out the window, thinking about the past six years at Hogwarts. 'I can't believe that it's all came to an end. My friends… the adventure's… the detention's… the mysteries…everything else that has happened since I became a witch.' Hermione thought her thoughts then came to and end when the car slammed on the brakes.

Hermione looked out the window; she didn't recognize anything. She knew it wasn't the Muggle World. It was defiantly somewhere in the Wizardry World. She just didn't know where.

"Mom? Dad? Where are we? What is this place?" Hermione asked, looking out the window, with a look of confusion on her face. Her 'parents' got out of the car and over to Hermione's car door. They opened it and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?" She screamed, as she was thrown out of the car seat, and onto the ground where it looked a lot like a desert. "Is this anyway to treat your daughter? Where are we? This is not the Muggle World!" She continued on.

The two looked over at her, and laughed a bit. "You're not your parents… little girl. Let's just say, you're our ransom, until Mr. Potter and his friends come and get you. Within three days… if they haven't came for you. You will never see daylight again." Her 'Dad' sneered and took out a pocketknife, and held it out to Hermione. "One false move girl, and you're gone." The other said and quickly tied her arms and legs up and bounded her mouth.

The two laughed and took off their masks. Hermione gasped as much as she could, considering that her mouth was gagged. It was none other then Peter Pettigrew and Cornelious Fudge. "What are you doing?" Hermione said, muffling her voice through the bandanna.

"Ginny! We have a problem!" Ron said, coming down the spiral stairs the next morning. Ginny looked up from her Herbology Lesson Book. "What is it?" She asked, all confused with the sudden attack of panic. He stopped in front of her, and sat down, huffing and puffing.

"Harry's gone. He went in the night before I went to bed to find him gone. He went after Hermione. He's going to probably die again, trying to be the hero again." He said. Ginny rolled her eyes. She slammed her book down, and tossed it into her backpack. "Hmm… I know what we should do." She said, picked up her bag and walked up the spiral stairs and into the boy's dorm room.

The next moment you heard a scream from the boy's dorm room. "Ah!! There's a girl in here!" Someone shouted. Slamming of doors and pounding down the stairs would then be heard. Neville, Dean and Seamus came running down the stairs and into the common room; still in their Pajama's. Everyone laughed, and didn't believe that a girl was in the room.

Everyone made comments about this type of thing. "They must want to show of to someone in here, and if there was a girl in your room… what was she doing in there?" George asked, trying to laugh. The three went red in the face. "I'm serious! There is a girl in out room. She just walked in. And…it was Ginny!" They shouted. "WHAT?" Fred, George and Ron yelled. "Yeah. She's up there right now." Dean said, pointing at the stairs. Ginny, right then walked down the stairs.

"Where were you Ginny? In my room… putting my backpack away." She said, acting confused. "Liar's!" Fred yelled. The boys backed away and ran up into their dorm room. "I got it." She said, to Ron. They left the common room, and down the hall. "What did you get?" Ron asked. "I was in there. Harry's gone, but I know when he left. You saw him leave! What didn't you stop him?" She asked him.

"I couldn't. I don't have broom. I can't fly out just like I'm a bird." Ron replied. "Right. Let's go and out after him." Ginny said, and ran down the flight of stairs and out the front doors, until she knocked into someone. "Watch it Weasel Jr." A voice drawled. She had crashed into Draco. He had a broom in his hand. She grinned evilly, and grabbed the broom from his hand, and raced out the front doors. With Ron behind her.

They got on the broom, and kicked off from the ground and raised high from the ground. Leaving a Draco Malfoy on the ground, shaking his fists at them. They turned back towards the mountains and speed off into the distance, looking for a firebolt or Harry.

"If Wormtail is behind this and brought Voldemort back to life, and kidnapped Hermione to get back at me for killing Voldemort." Harry said, flying over a little city trying to find people or something nearby. "Hermione. Where are you?" He said, thinking aloud. His eyes started to rift close. "I'm so tired." He said. His eyes closed and he fell of his broom and fell down, down, down into the world below.

*~*

"Mommy! Mommy! Look at what I found! It's a man with a broom!" A little girl said, shaking him. Harry hoped that they weren't muggles. This would be hard to explain. "What did you find, Melody?" A woman asked, appearing at her daughter's side.

"Oh my god! Are you alright?" The woman asked, getting down on her knees and helping Harry up. "Are you a muggle?" He asked, opening one eye. She shook her head. "Nope. My name is Sport and I'm a witch, headmistress of Pebble Beach School of Witchcraft." She said, picking up Harry's broom and holding it out to Harry. "You can come to my house, and get something to eat. You must have had a nasty fall last night." She said, looking at the scratch on his head.

He looked up. "That's my scar. I'm Harry Potter." He said. The woman and the child gasped. "Harry Potter?" They asked. He nodded. The three walked back across the grounds, and into Sport's house. "Hmm… well a car did go by here about maybe a day ago." Sport said, thinking back to yesterday. "Not many cars go by here. But, yes, one car went by here around ten o'clock yesterday morning." Sport said. Harry sighed.

"Why Harry Potter? Why? Why do you care about a car?" Melody asked, letting go of her mother's hand. "My girlfriend was kidnapped by two people, and I need to find her, before they hurt her." Harry explained. Melody nodded. "Why don't we get out of this field, and into the house." Sport said. Everyone agreed, and walked into the cottage, on the edge of Pebble Beach School.

*~*

The three sat in the kitchen, eating chocolate frogs and drinking pumpkin juice, and a lot of others things, that were well known… and well…things that weren't as was well known as well. After they ate, Harry explained everything that had happened in the past year. That left the two shocked.

"Wow… that sounds like fun. Our school is boring. Nothing fun happens." Melody spoke up. She got up and walked over to the window. "Don't mind Melody. She has an adventurous little heart, but does have a lot of courage. The only thing is, she doesn't realize how dangerous it can be." Sport explained. Harry nodded, and Melody came back over to the table.

"Mommy! Mickey and Adam are trying to transfigure Madison again!" Melody said. "Oh my not again. I'll be back in a moment, Harry." Sport said, she grabbed her wand and ran out through the front door.

"Harry? Can I go with you on your adventure to save Her-o-my-knee? I love adventure and fun!" Melody said, going starry-eyed. "It's not all fun and games. I've almost died many times, and besides your mother wouldn't let you go." Harry replied, putting his cup on the counter and grabbing his broom.

*~*

"Where do you think Harry would have went?" Ginny asked, looking at the grounds below her. "I don't know. We should search till it's almost dark. Try and see if you can get to mom's friend's house tonight. Sport's house, Pebble Beach School." Ron called. Ginny nodded and they sped off into the distance.

*~*

"One day down, Peter. Only two more to go, and we'll have our revenge on Mr. Potter." Fudge said, sitting back, and drinking some wine. "Yeah. Too bad, we couldn't just get rid of the girl now. She is stupid and a nuisance." Peter said, shouting a look of disgrace at Hermione. She muffled something that they couldn't here. They had tied her to a pole, with her hands and legs tied up, mouth still covered.

'I have got to get out of here. I need to find a way out. Oh Harry, where are you? Please come and save me soon, before it's too late.' Hermione thought, looking around the dark room. This was boring and a very long day.

*~*

"Bye Guys! I'll come back and visit some day." Harry called. He got on his broom and sped off into the dark night sky. The two waved goodbye, and watched him fly off into the darkness. Melody the turned to her room, and tugged on her skirt. "Mommy? Why could I go with Harry Potter?" She asked.

Her mom looked down at her; "I already told you. Harry is an older kid, and has to save his friend. You'll have your adventurous times when you get into school." Her mother replied. They walked out of the field and into their little cottage.

*~*

"This isn't easy. But, at least Sport told me that they had went north. Now, I'll I got to do is find them. They're a whole day ahead of me. I'll find them…eventually. Hopefully, I'm not to late. If I am, I'll kill whoever kidnapped her." Harry said, going faster on his broom, trying to go as fast as he could. All he knew was that they were north and in a black punch buggy car.

He flew for hours and hours on end. Stopping every now and then, and asking people on the road if they had seen any cars going down the road lately. Some had, some hadn't. Matters who you asked.

"I must be getting closer. It's almost sunrise. Hermione only has two days left to live. I have got to find her. If it kills me." Harry said. He flew down closer to the ground. His broom was starting to slow down, so he was going to walk for a bit.

*~*

"Ron! I'm tired. Sport's house, is on the other side of this field. Can't we just stop in for a bit of rest? I'm tired, and have flown all day." Ginny said, starting to fly down into the field. "Alright." Ron said. The two jumped off the broom and into the field. They ran through the field, and knocked on the cottage door.

Melody answered the door. She loved Ginny as much as a sister would. "GinnY!" She cried, and grabbed onto her. "Hi Ginny!" Melody said. Ginny smiled. "Hi Melody. IS your mom home?" Ron asked. "Hiya. Yep, she's just in the kitchen. Wow, I've seen so many people today." The little girl replied, and dragged the two into the room.

"Hi Sport. Are you here?" Ginny called, into the room. A girl with straight red hair appeared from around the corner. "Hey Guys. Come on in. I'll be out in a second." Sport said, and disappeared. The two sat down on the couch, with Melody in between them, with her fuzzy green pajama's on. Sport then appeared.

"Ron. Ginny. How are you? Why are guys all the way down here?" She asked, sitting down in a chair, opposite them. The two smiled. "We're following Harry Potter." Ginny said. "He ran away in the night, trying to find his kidnapped girlfriend. So, we have to get them both out, before they both die." Ron said. Sport nodded. Melody looked between the two. "Wow! Harry Potter was here this morning. Looking for Her-o-my-knee." She said. The two gasped.

"Which way did he go?" Ron asked, looking around from Sport to Melody. "He left this morning. Out in the field, we told him to go north. Two strange looking and mean looking people drove by here last night, in a black punch buggy. So, Harry went north, after them." Sport explained. Ron and Ginny got up from the couch, and grabbed Malfoy's Nimbus 2002.

"We have got to after him. We dies almost all the time, in evil's hands." Ginny replied. The four ran back into the field. "We'll come back with news as soon as we find them. Good or Bad." Ginny said, mounting the broom. Sport nodded, hoping that Harry would be OK, along with the rest of them.

"Mommy! Can I go with Ginny and Ron?" Melody asked, tugging on her mom's skirt. Her mom shook her head. "No Melody. I didn't let you go with Harry, and I'm not letting you go with Ginny and Ron. They have to find their friends. That is big kid stuff. You'll do that with your friends, when you get to school." Sport explained, again.

"Bye Guys!" Melody said, and ran back into the cottage. "Talk to you soon." Ron said, and they kicked off from the ground, and zoomed off north, after Harry and the car. Sport watched the two out of sight, and turned and walked back towards the cottage.

"Melody must learn that she can't do everything that the big kids can do." Sport said, entering her cottage back door. She didn't realize how quiet it was. Little did she know that Melody was missing. A knock on her door was heard. Sport looked at the door, and walked over to it. She opened it to find Michele standing there.

"Yes Michele? What can I help you with?" Sport asked, looking down at Michele. "Professor Hopesmith! Melody is gone! I was playing Exploding Snap with Madison, when your front door opened. Melody had your Quidditch broom, and zoomed off, after two other kids. Two red-heads on another broom." Michele exclaimed. "Oh… thank you Michele." She replied. Michele nodded, and walked away. Sport closed the door.

She ran over to her broom closet. Her broom was gone. "Oh no!" She said. "Melody! Please be all right. I hope that Ron and Ginny see you." Sport said, and closed up the closet.

*~*

"Mommy's going to kill me. She always said 'A broom is not for a five year old, Melody. Maybe when you're in school you can have it' Oh well. Too last to turn back." Melody said, and zoomed off faster, after Ron and Ginny.

*~*

"This is such a long road. At least the sun is starting to come up." Harry said, looking over all the trees, and seeing the sun poke out from in between them. "Hermione, please be alright. I still have two days, and I will find you, if it kills me." Harry screamed, into the dark forest on his right. He sighed, knowing that screaming wouldn't help me in this place. And it defiantly wouldn't help Hermione at all! TBC…

Hermioen only has two days left, then it's off to heaven. While they get her back, or will something go wrong, at the others get lost more, wasting more time. Please R&R!!!!!!!
