Chapter 30: Death Eater's Request
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter!!!
Thanks: My darling reviewers, I am so sorry I did not have time to thank you. I am very busy, and I have to head out for Christmas stuff (parties, etc.) So I posted this as fast as I could!
A/N: I AM TRYING TO GET AS MANY REVIEWS AS POSSIBLE! So REVIEW!!! For me? Thanks ^_^
Hermione gasped and felt the tears in her eyes. She never saw her best friends look so vulnerable. Hermione was surprised that they were still alive after being chained up against that horrible, frigid stonewall. She looked from her friends to Lucius. He seemed to be quite relaxed and at ease. How could anyone be so heartless?
Draco snarled furiously, "Father. Let them go! I will not have this."
"Oh really, well I really don't care about what you want, Draco. It doesn't matter anymore anyway. I am surprised that your friends are still alive. How unfortunate for me. I would be thrilled if the died before you got here." Lucius chuckled.
The Death Eaters all looked at the scene with amusement. Pettigrew turned away from Harry, whom he had been taunting, and turned to stare at Draco and Hermione. The Death Eater, who attacked Hermione, and Walden Macnair, turned away from the conversation they were having. Avery, Mr. and Mrs. Lestrange laughed in delight at the helpless teenagers.
Macnair snickered, "What are you going to do with them, Lucius?"
Lucius smirked, "Don't worry. I have special plans in store for them."
Macnair turned back to the other Death Eater and continued talking, "And remember. You must destroy that socially challenged girl at Beauxbatons. She will regret all that she has done."
Hermione ignored the two, and fell on her knees. The sight of her poor friends made her feel weak. She began to cry, and plead, "PLEASE! Please Lucius! I beg you! Let them go! Please! Please, set them free."
Lucius stared at Hermione and then at the people chained to the wall. He then got an idea. A terrible and vile idea. He knew exactly what to do. Draco stared at his father in silence. He knew whenever Lucius got a horrible notion in his mind, and this was one of those times.
Hermione stared at Lucius as he spoke to her. "Why you poor little girl, you are frightened, aren't you?"
Hermione glared, "Let them go. Please let them go."
"I would be more then happy to, "Lucius replied as the Death Eaters smirked and nodded in agreement, "Nothing would please me more then to set your cute friends free."
Hermione's lip trembled, "Please...I will do anything."
"Anything? Well, there is something that you can do for me." Lucius said slowly.
Hermione was about to answer, but Draco interrupted her. "We are NOT doing anything for you!"
Lucius smirked faded a bit. "Then I won't let your friends go. I will leave them here to die or even better I will give them a nice little blow of the Killing Curse!"
Hermione lowered her eyes, and muttered, "What do you want done?"
Lucius looked to the other Death Eaters and they nodded slowly. Lucius sneered, "Well there are a group of Aurors who know that we are here. They are planning to capture all of us one by one. Seriously, people do not know when they are beaten."
Draco rolled his eyes, "You are not going to win Father."
Lucius ignored Draco's comment and continued speaking, "Well these Aurors can uhhh 'embarrass' us if you know what I mean. I need them out of the way. I am going to send you mudblood to speak with Madame Nyssa and find out where they are."
"What about me!" Draco cried.
"You are staying right here with me." Lucius replied, "I don't quite trust you, Draco. You seem very unstable ever since Jewel was 'tragically' murdered."
"YOU WERE THE ONE THAT KILLED HER!" Draco shouted as the Death Eaters laughed.
Lucius shrugged and continued talking to Hermione, "If you go to Madame Nyssa and tell where the Aurors are hiding, I will let your friends go."
Hermione turned back around to her friends. Poor Harry, Ginny, Ron, Pansy, and Blaise. They looked very close to dying and Hermione knew that she had to do something to keep Lucius from killing them. Avery stared at Hermione in disgust, "Are you sure this is wise Lucius? This 'mudblood bitch' can go running off to get help, and then we will be in DEEP."
Lucius laughed and shook his head, "Oh! Don't worry about that issue, Avery. I KNOW that she won't go running off for help. Trust me I know."
Hermione saw an evil twinkle in Lucius's eyes as said this. "How do you know she won't go running off for help," Mr. Lestrange protested, "She may be a mudblood, but she's not stupid Lucius."
Lucius sneered, "Look at her arm!"
Avery suddenly walked forward and rolled up Hermione's sleeve. She whimpered as all of the Death Eaters stared. They all saw her Dark Mark very clearly. The Death Eaters murmured in approval, as Lucius said, "I told you. She won't go running away for help. That Dark Mark has a mind of its own, and soon she'll be one of us."
"NEVER!" Draco shouted.
Lucius shook his head, "Draco, please do not interrupt me with your nonsense. Don't you know what this Dark Mark does to you?"
Draco replied, "Well, Blaise told us that it makes you go insane."
Lucius snickered, "Zabini was just as much of a failure Death Eater as her brother was. I always knew she had a weak spot ever since Erik Zabini was murdered by the Dark Lord."
"Why was Erik murdered?" Draco slowly asked.
"Because he was a meddlesome fool." Mrs. Lestrange said in a snippy voice.
Hermione looked over at Blaise. She did not seem like the evil Death Eater that she used to be. Now she looked like a very sick teenager who needed to be rescued. Blaise looked worse then any of the others. Her face was so pale that she could be mistaken for a ghost. Hermione knew she had to help her and everyone else.
"Okay." Hermione said in a voice that was barely above a whisper, "I will go ask Madame Nyssa where the Aurors are."
Draco went pale and cried out, "Hermione you can't!"
"BUT!" Hermione said, loudly, "Lucius, you got to SWEAR that my friends will be safe including Draco!"
Lucius rolled his eyes, and snapped impatiently, "FINE! They will be safe. We don't have the time to talk about this deal. I will keep my end if you keep yours. Go on now! I need to know where they are at as quickly as possible."
Lucius muttered something under his breath and nodded. Pettigrew smirked, "He took away the spell so you walk as far away as you want."
Hermione stared at Draco and whispered, "Don't worry."
"H-Hermione." Draco croaked out, "I-I love you very much."
"I know." Hermione murmured as Lucius made a disgusted face.
Draco sighed and blew Hermione a kiss as she turned around to leave. Lucius smirked, "Nice doing business with you."
Hermione scowled, "Whatever. They better be okay by the time I get back."
"Don't worry, they will be just fine." Lucius sneered.
Hermione gave her nearly dead friends one last stare, before she turned around to head back out of the chamber. She was scared to see Madame Nyssa again. She was also scared to head out of the chamber alone. What if she couldn't find her way back out? What if the police caught her? Or worst of all, what if Lucius did NOT keep his promise, and killed Draco and the others?
Hope you enjoyed that! MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
