I am trying to finish a few chapters before softball season starts, so I
don't know if you reviewed, but thank you if you did.
We're going to be flipping back and forth from Ginny to Harry and Hermione.

Chapter 15: Rescue Gone Wrong
Harry and Hermione landed in a dark, narrow corridor.
"Where are we?" Hermione asked apprehensively.
"I think," Harry began slowly, afraid he was going to scare Hermione, but continued, "that we are in the place where Voldemort keeps his prisoners."
Hermione moaned and said, "Oh! That's not good!"
"C'mon," Harry said leading her down the corridor. "If this is where Voldemort does keep his prisoners, then this is where Ginny will be."
"But doesn't Voldemort know we're here?" Hermione asked. "I mean, he did send the owl."
"I know, it seems too easy, but we have to try, don't we?" Harry pleaded.
"Of course," Hermione answered.
~*~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~*~
Ginny sat miserably in her small, little cell. She glanced down at her watch. She had only been there for a few hours, but it seemed like much longer.
Ginny watched Death Eaters pass down the hallways chatting idly. Occasionally, they would stop and point at Ginny. It made Ginny feel like an animal in a zoo.
She knew that there were people in the other cells, but she couldn't talk to them because they were all so far away.
She glanced around her cell looking for something to eat. She had just realized that she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday evening.
Instead of finding food, he saw a hunched figure in the corner. She stood up and carefully prodded the figure with her hand. The person didn't move. Ginny poked her again, a little more forcefully.
The person turned over and was revealed to be a middle aged woman with sandy blonde hair.
"Hello," Ginny greeted the woman pleasantly.
"Hi," the woman greeted Ginny shortly.
"My name's Ginny. What's yours?" Ginny replied, desperate for conversation.
"Becky," she responded.
"Why are you here, Becky?" Ginny asked.
"Obviously, I was captured," Becky replied a bit rudely. Then she just turned over and went to sleep.
"She was nice company," Ginny muttered.
~*~*~*~Going Back to Harry and Hermione~*~*~*~
"We've been walking forever, Harry," Hermione complained.
"So? Should we just give up and let Ginny rot in here?" Harry snapped feeling a bit tense.
"No, of course not, but we should get someone to help us! We can't do this alone!" Hermione said exasperatedly.
"Well, we're going to have enough trouble leaving this place, so why do it without Ginny?" Harry asked.
Hermione sighed and said, "You're right. I'm sorry."
"It's o-," Harry had started to say, but he just caught site of two Death Eaters inching closer to them. They were both wearing long, black cloaks with hoods that covered their faces.
"Oh! What do we do?" Hermione whispered frantically.
Harry pulled her into the shadows of the corner. He thought of something that could quickly get him out of this situation. He shoved his hands into his pockets in frustration, and felt his wand.
Harry pulled his wand out of his pocket, aimed it at the first Death Eater and whispered, "Stupefy."
The Death Eater dropped and the second one turned around Harry whispered, "Stupefy," at that one two. The second one dropped onto the ground.
He raced over to them and grabbed their long black identical cloaks. He put the first one on and tossed Hermione the second cloak.
"Do you reckon that they all wear these?" Harry asked Hermione.
"Probably," she answered putting the cloak on and making sure that hood covered his face. "Harry that was brilliant!"
"I know," Harry said grinning.
Harry adjusted the hood of his cloak to make sure that it covered his face. Harry and Hermione continued to walk down the hallway.
~*~*~*~And Back to Ginny Again~*~*~*~
Ginny sat miserably in her cell. She looked over at Becky who was still sleeping. She looked at the narrow corridor outside of her cell. 'I've got to get out,' she thought.
Ginny walked up to the bars of her cell and looked hopelessly down the hall. Getting out was going to be impossible. She could already see two Death Eaters walking down the hall towards her cell. Yet, they looked oddly familiar. They started to run at her.
Ginny stepped away from the bars in fear. She didn't want to deal with Death Eaters right now. She heard their footsteps grow louder and louder. Ginny shrunk down against the back wall in fear. She saw the two of them approach her cell out of breath.
One of their hoods fell down, Ginny gaped at him. It was Harry.
"Harry?" she asked cautiously, afraid it could be a trick.
"Hey, Ginny," Harry said.
"Who's with you?" Ginny asked.
"I am," Hermione said taking off her hood.
"Where's Ron?" Ginny asked.
"He couldn't come," Hermione said looking a bit sad about this.
"So, do you have a plan to get me out?" Ginny asked them.
"Well, no," Harry answered.
"You came without a plan?" Ginny asked incredulously. "Oh, well, I'll just go sit back down in my little cell!"
"Well, we didn't exactly come on purpose," Hermione said annoyed.
"What? You didn't come on purpose? So, you didn't come to rescue me then?" Ginny asked sounding hurt.
"Of course, we came to rescue you!" Harry said. "It was just kind of. . . er. . . unexpected."
"Okayyy," Ginny said staring at them.
"So, how am I supposed to get out of here?" Ginny asked.
"Let me think!" Harry said. "Alohomora."
"That's your great plan?!?" Ginny asked frantically.
"Calm down, Ginny," Hermione soothed.
"Calm down? I'm trapped in You-Know-Who's cell, and all you can say is 'calm down'?" Ginny asked a bit loudly.
"And if you don't be quiet, we're going to get caught!" Harry hissed at her.
"Sorry," she quickly mumbled.
"Don't worry about that, Harry, you've already been caught," said a voice pleasantly behind Harry.
They all turned around and came face to face with Seamus.
"You?" Hermione asked.
"You're the spy?" Harry put in.
Seamus nodded, "Of course, it's not like anyone else had the brains."
Hermione would have normally objected to a comment like that, but decided not to.
"Oh, come off it! You can't do anything to us! You don't know any spells, plus we have you outnumbered!" Harry said.
Hermione muttered an agreement.
"Oh really?" Seamus asked in an amused voice.
"Yes, there's me, Hermione, Ginny, and the other person in Ginny's cell," Harry told Seamus.
"Normally, I'd agree with you, Harry, if you hadn't realized that we wouldn't actually put two prisoners in the same cell," Seamus said to Harry.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked confused.
"Ginny's cell mate," he said. "Isn't really her cell mate. She's a Death Eater," Seamus said with his eyes gleaming maliciously. "Haven't you noticed that Ginny hasn't been saying anything to you two while we've been talking? Turn around."
Harry and Hermione turned around slowly. They saw the woman who had been Ginny's cell mate, had stunned Ginny. Ginny was lying on the floor with her eyes open and looking glazed. There was blood surrounding her head like a halo, where her head had hit the floor.
"Ginny!" Harry and Hermione said running up to the bars.
"Are we still outnumbered then, Harry?" Seamus asked smiling at them.
"No," Harry admitted grudgingly. "But you don't outnumber us either!"
"Yeah," Hermione said. "I'm still here."
"You honestly think that you two can stand up to us?" the woman asked exiting out of the cell and closing it behind her. "We can get more Death Eaters here in a second!"
Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
"We care nothing for either of the girls," the woman told them, "we only care for what our master told us to bring to him. And he told us to take you to him, Harry Potter."
"Are you still so sure that you outnumber us?" Seamus asked him.
Harry turned around. His attention was immediately directed to Hermione. She was struggling to get away from a Death Eater that held her captive. His hand was clamped firmly over her mouth and it looked as though she was trying to scream.
Harry looked away from Hermione and noticed that there were many more Death Eaters now surrounding the outer area of the cell.
Harry looked around, unsure of what to do. There were Death Eaters closing in all around him. He couldn't get into the cell. He turned to every direction, looking for some sort of exit; it was the same in each place.
He was surrounded. He was trapped. There was no escape. No exit. But he couldn't give up. He had to keep trying.
He felt a pair of hands grab him from behind, and try to take him away.
He desperately screamed for help.
"What are you doing, boy? No one here will help you," a Death Eater said while laughing harshly.
Hermione tried even harder to get free of the person that held her. Harry could see that there were now tears in her eyes.
He glanced down at Ginny he was still unconscious and helpless.
Harry kicked the Death Eater that held him in the shins, to try and get free.
"You little!" the Death Eater yelled at Harry.
"Let me go!" Harry screamed at him.
"Let you go?" the Death Eater laughed.
"We're going to walk now," the woman who had been in the cell with Ginny said. "You'll come quietly or we'll make you come quietly.
"Where are you taking us?" Harry asked guessing what the answer was.
"Why should we tell you?" the woman asked indignantly.
Harry and Hermione were slowly walking down the corridor when something caught his eye. It was shining brightly and it was shaped like a 3-d star. He wondered if it was the same one.
Harry made a grab for it, but the Death Eater held him back and muttered, "Stupefy."
And, Harry remembered no more until he awoke, lying on the dewy grass, his face was bruised and he ached everywhere. And there was the greatest dark wizard ever, staring at him, looking extremely pleased at Harry's arrival.
"Welcome Mr. Potter, to my little party," he greeted Harry.
