A/N: **looks around nervously** FORGIVE ME PLEASE!! MY COMPUTER WOULD NOT LET ME UPLOAD! I am so sorry. So I took time to make this chapter extra long. Okay? Please review guys!! I want to hear what you all think ^_^
The group was walking down the long winding corridor that led them to the Death Eaters. Draco felt really nervous, but it wasn't for the obvious reason. He was scared of facing the Death Eaters, but he was also scared for Hermione. Something just didn't seem right about her. He wasn't sure what it was, but something definitely was not right.
Draco looked at his surroundings. He hated being under the ground with a passion. This place was so forbidding, and so awful. Those skeletons rotting everywhere were not a pleasant site.
"Why did I get involved?" Narcissa thought aloud, "I hate this. I should have known that Lucius would go and behave like this. He was never really stable at school."
"And he still isn't stable." Draco retorted, "He is a stupid dumb ass prat who has no common sense what so ever."
"DRACO! You will not talk about your father that way!" Narcissa snapped.
Remus, however, laughed, "Let him! There is nothing wrong with calling some a dumb ass who in fact is a dumb ass."
Draco snickered, "Thanks! Damn this sucks. Do you think the Death Eaters are going to be pissed when we attack them."
"Well, they won't be happy." Sirius replied, "And look their chamber lies close ahead. I am going to get that fool Pettigrew."
Hermione smirked, "Good luck."
~*~*~*~
Severus looked around the graveyard. It was so horribly gloomy, and it reminded him of several terrible events that had happened over the course of his life. Arabella also wanted to leave, but they knew that they had to stop Lucius from going any further.
Lucius didn't seem in the least bit frightened of Severus or Arabella. He seemed to be quite amused by them chasing him down to Nilam's grave. Very amused.
Arabella finally forced herself to speak, "What are you doing at Nilam's grave anyway?"
Lucius snickered, "I just thought I would pay him a little visit. I wonder how hell is treating him."
"It's probably treating him better then it is going to treat you." Severus snarled, "I can't believe you killed him, Luc! Sure he was a bit of a snot, but you didn't have to go and kill him."
"I have reasons for why I kill, if you haven't recognized that already, Severus." Lucius replied calmly, "Nilam knew about the Land of Eden, just like Jewel. The Dark Lord wants to keep our plans a well-kept secret. Therefore, I had to kill them."
Severus looked up at his old friend, and shook his head. What had happened? They used to be unseperatble, and they used to have fun together, and not go around and kill people. They used to be like brothers. Now what were they? Enemies. Bitter enemies that would last forever. Did their old friendship mean nothing?
Arabella looked over at Severus and knew exactly what he was thinking. She slowly reached up to her neck, and twirled her necklace. This necklace had a pendent of a rose on it. Arabella remembered when Lucius had went out and bought it for her in the seventh year, even though they weren't dating then. He said it was a simple birthday gift and that it represented friendship.
~ Friends. ~ Arabella thought to herself bitterly, ~ Friends don't go around and kill each other for no reason. Friends stick together and trust each other. ~
Severus looked over at Arabella and saw her glaring at Lucius in angry silence. Lucius glared back at Arabella, but he stopped glaring when he realized what she was twirling. His gray eyes went wide in shock, "What? You still kept that!"
Severus chuckled coldly, "I would have thrown it in the trash if I was her."
Arabella gave Severus a warning look, and turned back to Lucius, "Yes, Luc, I never ever took it off. It does still have some value to me, even though it has none to you. You see Lucius, I teasure and the friendships I have. I don't go and destroy them."
Lucius didn't say anything. He just stared and stared. Then he looked up at Arabella, "I still can't believe you kept it. Ara? Sev? Listen. I am a Death Eater. I am Lord Voldmort's servant. I am loyal to him. I have been under the influence of Dark Drugs for too long, and I can't fight them."
"What do you mean by that? You can't fight them?" Severus snapped, "I fought them off."
Lucius shook his head, "You two don't understand. I can't be helped. I have to keep doing what Voldemort wants me to do."
Arabella shook her head, "No you don't!"
Severus agreed, "Lucius! You can't go around and do this. Don't you realize how wrong this is! You killed your own daughter for that damn Voldemort! You can't go around and follow his every single order! Don't you see what he has done to you? We want to help you! We are your friends!"
"My friends?" Lucius said weakly, "But why?"
Arabella smiled slightly, "You have abandoned us. But we didn't abandon you."
Lucius looked back down at Nilam's grave, and sighed deeply. He then looked back up at Arabella and Severus. He spoke slowly, "I am going to do this only once. I will not attack you now. But please! Don't return to England. That is my one warning. If you remain in France, you will be safe and happy. But don't return back to England please! I really don't want you hurt."
Severus glared at Lucius suspiciously, "Why shouldn't we go back to England?"
Lucius bit his lip, "I can't tell you that. But please remain here."
"Luc, don't do this to us." Arabella murmured, "I am an Auror, and I need to what is best for my friends."
Lucius looked at Severus to Arabella. He nodded, "I will miss being you friend then. Good-bye."
Lucius turned around slowly, and then without a word began to run through the graveyard. It was so foggy that after a few seconds Arabella and Severus lost sight of Lucius completely. Arabella bit down on her lip hard, and began to cry softly. Severus shook his head sadly, "Don't cry. Please don't cry. It is not worth it."
But Severus felt the lump in his throat grow large. He lost the one person who was a close friend of his at school. He had lost that one person to Voldemort. Severus stared at Nilam's gravestone, and he shouted, "I will kill that bastard Voldemort if it is the last thing that I ever do!"
~*~*~*~
Pettigrew grinned evilly, "AH! The Aurors! I was expecting you! Do please come in!"
"We have no pleasure entering this disgusting place." Sirius snapped, "You are going to pay dearly for what you-HARRY!"
Sirius noticed Harry, and the rest of the group hanging in chains on the cold stonewall. Draco was still as equally appalled even though he knew that's where his friends were. Draco glared, "Now, you Death Retards are going to regret trying to hurt us."
Avery shuddered, "OH! I don't know. Peter? Can we just leave! I am SCARED!"
Peter just rolled his eyes, and removed his wand from inside his cloak, "So? You guys are back. How are you Remus? Sirius? You look well I see."
Sirius immediately pulled his wand out, "You are going to pay for all that you have done Pettigrew!"
Pettigrew laughed, and walked over to where Harry was hanging on the wall. He snickered, "So? You want the wonderful 'Boy who Lived' back? Well, I am so sorry. You are not getting. You weak Aurors can never ever defeat us."
Draco glared, "You asshole! I am going to kill you."
Pettigrew grinned, and pointed his wand toward Jewel. Draco looked at Jewel with horror. Her body should be resting in peace, and not being used for Pettigrew's schemes. "Jewel." Draco muttered as he stared at her blankly.
Remus looked down at Jewel also, and he shook his head in disgust, "That is sick. That is really twisted and sick, Pettigrew! I can't believe you did this!"
Draco ignored the two, and he knelt down beside Jewel. She wasn't moving, and looked as dead as she was that night when Lucius stabbed her. Draco still couldn't believe that Jewel's rotting body attacked him not too long ago.
Draco sighed deeply, and began to completely ignore what was going on around him. The Death Eaters and the Aurors fighting and arguing seemed to be just a huge blur. Draco wasn't interested in what was happening. All he was fixed on was Jewel. She should be resting in peace. NO! She shouldn't be resting in peace. Jewel should be alive and happy.
~ It is not fair. ~ Draco thought to himself sadly.
Then Draco heard the shouting of spells around him, and he didn't care about the fights surrounding him. All he cared about was Jewel. Jewel, and that was it. The Death Eaters and Aurors could fight all they want, because it didn't matter.
Then Draco heard a voice cry. Jewel's voice. "DRACO! LOOK OUT!"
Draco spun around, and saw Avery ready the slice him in half with a long sword that had a snake engraved on it. Draco gasped and leapt out of the way just in time. "What do you think you are doing, shim!" Draco shouted.
Avery swung the sword, and laughed, "Try to make fun of me now! I will kill you!"
~*~*~*~
Arabella and Severus walked out of the graveyard slowly. They decided not to discuss what happened with Lucius in the graveyard. They thought that the rest of the group didn't need to know. It would be better that way.
"Are we going back to England?" Arabella asked.
"Of course!" Severus snapped, "Do you honestly think that I am going to stay here, and not do anything about the situation over there! What are you scared or something? Where's all the Gryffindor courage?"
Arabella looked away and back at the graveyard. "It is dead." Arabella muttered darkly, "I don't think I will ever have courage again."
~*~*~*~
Draco was running through the cold dark corridors as fast as he could. Avery was gaining on him, and was still swinging that deadly sword like a maniac. Draco was wondering why no one else was noticing that he was being chased by a shim with a huge sword.
Draco kept running, and he knew that he could not turn back. As he felt the wind rush by his face, Draco thought ~ Did I just hear Jewel's voice? What the hell is the matter with me! ~
Draco continued to flee from Avery. He ran through all of the twisted corridors, and soon he had no clue where he was in this underground tomb. Draco eventually stopped his hopeless running and spun around. However, there was no sign of Avery at all.
Draco took a deep breath and sighed. He looked down at his hands and he realized that they were trembling. He thought to himself ~ Shit, I was just chased down by a shim that wanted to kill me! ~
Draco then realized something far more terrible then that. ~ Oh! I have no clue where I am? ~
Draco looked around, and absolutely nothing looked even remotely familiar. He was lost in the darkness. Draco shuddered, and started to walk slowly. ~ What if I never find my way out? What if I never see Hermione again? ~
~*~*~*~
Pettigrew smirked full of triumph as he looked around the same dirty chamber. One thought crossed his mind. Victory. The Aurors weren't ready for a fight. And now Pettigrew had them exactly where he wanted them.
The group of Aurors was chained together on the floor, and were stuck right below Harry, Ginny, Ron, Pansy, and Blaise. Narcissa kept crying, and felt that she could not stop. Sirius glared at Pettigrew, "Let us go, rat face!"
Pettigrew laughed, along with the other Death Eaters. Pettigrew knew his plan would work. He was distracting all of the Aurors when they entered, and while they were focusing on attacking him, the rest of the Death Eaters, the Lestranges, Macnair and his loyal daughter, and Avery jumped out from the shadows. The foolish people didn't stand a chance.
Sirius looked up at Harry, and sighed, "I am so sorry Harry. I thought I could help you."
Harry forced a smile, "You tried. You tried, and that is all that matters to me."
Pansy turned her head to Ron, "So. I just we really are stuck here now."
"Yeah." Ron replied, "This sucks. So is this it?"
Ginny whimpered as Pansy nodded, "I think so. I really don't think we have a chance of getting out of this place. We are never going to see above ground again."
Ron smiled gently, "I love you, Pansy."
Pansy let the tears fall down her face, "I love you too."
~*~*~*~
Draco decided just to sit on the cold dirty floor. It was no use. He tried walking around and figure out where he was for the past hour. He was never going to escape form this endless maze of darkness. Ever. He would never ever escape.
"So, I guess that I am just going to die here." Draco said aloud. "Will I ever see Mione again?"
Draco shuddered. It was terribly cold and damp down here. Draco was literally freezing. He heard nothing from his mother or any of the other Aurors. Draco began to fear the very worse. ~ They didn't defeat the Death Eaters. Now I have no chance of being found, and even if I were found it would be because Lucius or Pettigrew found. And I know how nice that would be. ~
~* You're giving me too many things
Lately you're all I need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"
Draco sighed. Maybe dying wasn't that bad. Maybe freezing to death was not as big of a curse as it seemed. He would see Jewel again. They would be happy together, and they would have no worries about Death Eaters, Voldemort, or anything.
~** When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Draco slowly shut his eyes, and leaned against the frigid stonewall. It felt as though he was leaning on ice. Draco took a deep breath, and stared for he could see his own breath fill the air. "I hope Hermione is okay." Draco said aloud, "I hope she wasn't captured by Death Eaters. I just pray that she escaped that awful fate. I just wish that I really the chance to prove to her how much I loved her."
~*The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Draco sighed and looked up at the ceiling. How he longed to be above ground, and somewhere safe instead of lock below the earth on this dark cold night. He knew it wasn't fair, but it was the card that life had dealt him.
"I am not scared." Draco said while smiling sadly, "Everything will be better. I just have to wait. Good-bye."
~*When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
~* Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
~*~*~*~
Pettigrew smirked happily to himself. Not only did he capture the Aurors, but also their old friend Hermione helped him. Oh yes! She was under the Dark Drugs more then ever, and half way through the battle, she betrayed the Aurors, and assisted the Death Eaters.
"Excellent work, young lady." Pettigrew sneered.
Hermione didn't say a thing. She was just staring at the captured helpless people before her. And with incredible coldness in her voice she muttered, "Anything for my Dark Lord." Remus sighed, "We should have left her."
"I know," Narcissa agreed, "And we should have left Draco. I don't see him anywhere."
Pettigrew seemed to have noticed, "I will not let him escape! Avery I thought you took care of him?"
"He was too fast." Avery snapped, "How was I supposed to catch him?"
Pettigrew rolled his eyes, and pointing at Macnair's mysterious daughter, and at Hermione. "You two go after him. Find him, and kill him!"
Narcissa let out a choked sob, "I already lost my daughter. Please spare Draco!"
"I don't think so." Pettigrew growled, "He must die for defying us. Find him!"
Narcissa felt the tears pour down her face, "I am scared."
"Don't be." Sirius replied, "Try not to be afraid."
Blaise watched as Hermione and the other Death Eater went to find Draco. She sighed, "I am scared, but I will not let the Death Eaters destroy me."
Pettigrew laughed, "Oh really? We will see about that!"
Blaise green eyes shown in the darkness, and she said very wise words back at Pettigrew, "You may be able to destroy our bodies, but you will never touch our hearts and souls. Never."
~*Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
How sad. **Sniff** It looks downright hopeless now, doesn't it? I will go get the tissues -.-

Draco slowly shut his eyes, and leaned against the frigid stonewall. It felt as though he was leaning on ice. Draco took a deep breath, and stared for he could see his own breath fill the air. "I hope Hermione is okay." Draco said aloud, "I hope she wasn't captured by Death Eaters. I just pray that she escaped that awful fate. I just wish that I really the chance to prove to her how much I loved her."
~*The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
Draco sighed and looked up at the ceiling. How he longed to be above ground, and somewhere safe instead of lock below the earth on this dark cold night. He knew it wasn't fair, but it was the card that life had dealt him.
"I am not scared." Draco said while smiling sadly, "Everything will be better. I just have to wait. Good-bye."
~*When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
~* Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

Pettigrew smirked happily to himself. Not only did he capture the Aurors, but also their old friend Hermione helped him. Oh yes! She was under the Dark Drugs more then ever, and half way through the battle, she betrayed the Aurors, and assisted the Death Eaters.
"Excellent work, young lady." Pettigrew sneered.
Hermione didn't say a thing. She was just staring at the captured helpless people before her. And with incredible coldness in her voice she muttered, "Anything for my Dark Lord." Remus sighed, "We should have left her."
"I know," Narcissa agreed, "And we should have left Draco. I don't see him anywhere."
Pettigrew seemed to have noticed, "I will not let him escape! Avery I thought you took care of him?"
"He was too fast." Avery snapped, "How was I supposed to catch him?"
Pettigrew rolled his eyes, and pointing at Macnair's mysterious daughter, and at Hermione. "You two go after him. Find him, and kill him!"
Narcissa let out a choked sob, "I already lost my daughter. Please spare Draco!"
"I don't think so." Pettigrew growled, "He must die for defying us. Find him!"
Narcissa felt the tears pour down her face, "I am scared."
"Don't be." Sirius replied, "Try not to be afraid."
Blaise watched as Hermione and the other Death Eater went to find Draco. She sighed, "I am scared, but I will not let the Death Eaters destroy me."
Pettigrew laughed, "Oh really? We will see about that!"
Blaise green eyes shown in the darkness, and she said very wise words back at Pettigrew, "You may be able to destroy our bodies, but you will never touch our hearts and souls. Never."
~*Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
How sad. **Sniff** It looks downright hopeless now, doesn't it? I will go get the tissues -.-
