A/N: Draco gets freed. ::kisses her plot bunny::
Chapter 5: To Help or Not To Help
Hermione awoke early for the second time in two days. She threw on her school robes and went down stairs to find Ginny sleeping on the couch with her head in her brother's lap.
"Oh, Hi Hermione." George whispered so he wouldn't wake Ginny. "She couldn't sleep last night, she was crying again. I'm really worried about her." He continued, as he kissed his little sister on the cheek.
Hermione sat down next to him and sighed. " It must be hard for her. She having a baby and the man she loves is jail all at the age 14. I just want to get Draco out of there."
George looked at Hermione. "How are you so sure Draco didn't kill Ron? Remember they did hate each for a while."
"I know because Draco was told to kill me and he couldn't. Besides Draco and Ron became best friends, and for the first time in Draco's life he was happy. And your sister she never gave Harry that look, sure she liked him, but she didn't love him. Her heart belongs to Draco." Hermione finished with a tear rolling down her cheek.
Again George was looking at her. Then he did some thing that he would have never would have done if Ron was still alive. He leaned in and kissed Hermione, on the lips. It was small kiss, but still a kiss from Ron's older brother. Hermione started to fall into it, but then pushed her self away.
"Umm I have to go find Snape. There some thing I have to ask him. Umm see at dinner." Hermione said as she shot up off the couch. "Umm yeah see you and Ginny at dinner." Hermione was as pink as the roses in Hagrid's garden.
"Oh, Okay yeah see you then." George said to her obviously taken back by what he did. "Why did I kiss her?" He thought to him self as he watched Hermione leave the common room.
Hermione was happy to be out of the common room, the air was much cooler in the hallways. As she walked to Snape office she bumped into some thing she couldn't see.
"Ow. What was that?" She said as she rubbed her fore head.
"It was me." Harry said taking off the cloak. "I couldn't sleep and I couldn't watch Ginny cry all night so I decided to take a walk."
After Harry told her everything him and Cho talked about they went on their way to find Snape. They found him in his office looking out a window.
"What do you want? Potter. Granger." Snape asked in a low toned growl.
Harry looked at Hermione. He had no clue why he was here he had just followed her. Hermione took a deep breath and started.
"Professor Snape, you are an ex-death eater right?"
"Yes, why and I hope you know I'm on your side during this war." Snape snapped.
"Yes quite good. But I was wondering if there is a way we could get Draco out of that horrible place with out any body knowing we saved him." Hermione pleaded.
"There is. But why would I help you." He said looking down at Hermione as though she was nothing but a mangy cat.
"Because you look at Draco as the son you don't or never will have. And besides he looks up to you as a father." Hermione said getting right up in Snape long face.
Harry wasn't quite sure what happen but all he knew was Snape smiled at Hermione. At first he thought Hermione pushed Snape too far and now Snape was going to kill her. But then Snape said some thing that really took Harry by surprise.
"Do you think Ginny and Draco will let me be a granddad to their new baby when he comes?"
Hermione smiled back sweetly. "So does this mean you will help us?"
***************
Draco was feeling more sick then he had ever felt in his whole life. He figured it was from the loss of so much blood, and the fact that he hadn't eaten in two days.
"When will my bloody father get here? If I don't get some thing to eat I'm going to start eating the slim off the walls." Draco yelled through the small hole in the door.
"You'll eat when your father says you can eat." Fraidy answered not looking up from a muggle comic book.
"For some who is the suppose to hold up the law you sure act like a Death Eater. Do you like kissing Lord Voldies dry scaly feet?" Draco asked trying to see if he could get Fraidy's goat.
"For your information I like being under cover for the Dark Lord. And you should speak of him with more respect, because he's soon going to be come your Lord." Fraidy said throwing the comic book at Draco's door
*****************
"All right here is the plan." Snape said as he sat down at his desk. "Lucius and I are going to see Draco today. Lucius is going to give him a choice."
"He gets a choice?" Harry butted in.
"Potter you would ever be so kind and hold your tongue." Snape said looking draggers in to Harry. " Yes he get the choice of becoming a Death eater or death it's self."
"Some choice." Harry said rolling his eyes.
"Harry, please." Hermione said placing her hand over Harry's mouth.
"Thank you Miss Granger. As I was saying, I have to talk him into becoming the Death Eater. When I'm alone with him, I'll slip him the potion. It will make him seem dead for an hour. I'll tell Lucius that he wanted death, and that I need to take the body back to my lab, so it can be disposed of the right way. And that were you two come in." Snape said pointing at Harry and Hermione.
"What would you like us to do Professor?" Hermione asked listen to Snape's every word.
"I want you two to be waiting here with Harry's cloak, I'm going to travel by port key to get back. I'm going to end up right behind Hagrid's hut. That is where I want you two to be. I'll bring Draco to you. And when you got him put the cloak over him and bring him here to my office. Got It. Now get to your first classes because I'm not going to write you two any notes." Snape finished.
As they were heading to the door. Snape added, "Met me here after classes." With that Hermione and Harry wear off to their first class of the day Herbology.
***************** Draco could hear voices coming from the dark hallway. Two of them he knew right a way. One was his father's and the other was Fraidy's. Then there was one the Draco couldn't believe he was hearing.
"So Snape how do you like being a Death Eater again?" Fraidy asked eyeing Snape up and down.
"Now Jordan don't bother Severus with such domain questions. I'm sure he only a Death Eater so Voldemort won't kill him." Lucius said with a smirk.
"Here is the boy's room gentlemen." Fraidy said as he opened the door.
Lucius walked over to his son who was sitting up against the far wall. "Get up boy. You will stand whenever I enter a room. You know that."
Draco just looked up at him with hate filled eyes. Lucius yelled again and Draco just continued to look up at him not taking his eyes off his father's . Lucius grab the boy by the back of the neck and tried to force him to stand. Draco just slid down the wall till he was sitting again. Lucius slapped Draco re-opening a large gash on Draco's face.
"I SAID STAND UP BOY."
"Can you see the boy is week." Snape cut in. " Just tell him what you wanted to, so I can get back to Hogwarts."
Draco could no believe hie ears. His favorite teacher, someone he looked up too, someone he thought of as a father was side by side with his birth father. Snape was one of them. Now Draco felt as though his whole world was coming apart. The next thing they might be telling him is that Ginny Weasley had became a Death Eater.
"Son, I've come here to save your life. You have two choices." Lucius began not even looking at Draco. "One is you become a Death Eater with us, or you face Death it's self."
At that moment death was looking pretty good. Hey at least if he was dead he wouldn't have to put up with any more crap from Fraidy. And he wouldn't have to hear his father stupid Death Eater plans any more. And he would be with his Ex-best friend Ron.
Then he thought about be coming a Death eater he would be able to see Ginny, but only when no was looking. But maybe she wouldn't want him because he was a Death Eater. Then he would never get to see their baby. Or even hold him.
"Well what will it be son." Lucius asked waiting for Draco to say something.
"If you guys wouldn't mind I would like to convince him in my own way." Snape said pulling a dagger from his robes.
"Sure this is going to be fun and just like the old days." Fraidy said licking his lips at the sight of the dagger.
"I mean I want to do it alone. I have to get in the mood. So the first one I have to do by myself. So if you two would please leave the room and close the door, we will be out soon." Snape said pointing to the door.
"If he wants to die. Just kill him. I'll tell his mother, that it was a Dementor that killed him." Lucius said leaving the room.
"If you kill him can I lick the dagger blade, when you are done with it." Fraidy asked with that twisted smile, Draco knew all to well.
After Fraidy left the room. Snape shut the door and locked if from the inside with a spell so the other two couldn't walk in. Draco just looked at the floor. He couldn't look at Snape. That was the man who back stab him.
"Look at me Draco I'm here to save you." Snape said pulling a bottle out of his robes.
"Oh yeah, prove it to me." Draco said looking up into the mans face.
Snape took the knife he was holding and cut his own wrist. "Now you see the knife covered in blood. I'm going to tell them that you wanted death. Here drink this it will make you seem dead to the touch and to the eyes. They will think I killed you. Now hurry I'll expand the rest later."
Draco wasn't sure why but he trust Snape and did as he was told. As soon as he drank, whatever was in that bottle his vision went blurry to black, and then he was out.
Snape pick up Draco and the bloody Knife and brought them out side the cell to where Fraidy and Lucius were waiting for them.
"He chose death. So I killed him." Snape said dropping Draco to the ground at his father's feet. "Now I want to take the body back with me to my lab so I can burn and use it in some potions on Potter,"
"How will you get back to Hogwarts." Lucius asked kicking Draco in his right side.
"Port key." Snape simply said pulling out a small bottle. After picking up Draco's dead body Snape held the port key and was gone. Only leaving behind a small bloody knife and a puddle of blood.
"Once a stupid Git, always a stupid Git." Lucius said picking up the knife and handing it to Fraidy, who started to lick it right away.
"What are you talking about Mr. Malfoy?" Fraidy asked in between licks.
"My sons not dead." Lucius said turning to Fraidy.
"How do you know sir?"
"Because that was Snape who was bleeding not my son." Lucius said dipping a finger in the blood on the floor. "Can you taste it. It much more sourer than Draco's" Lucius finished licking the blood off his fingers.
"What are you going to do now, than sir?" Fraidy said almost afraid to look Lucius in the eyes.
"Oh he'll get his after I tell the Dark Lord what he did. Come Fraidy there is much work to be done. We attack Hogsmade tomorrow." Lucius said grabbing Fraidy by the neck.
