Harry looked helplessly around. Voldemort was dead but why did his scar burn in pain? He also heard Hermione scream. He knew he had to find her, had to save her. But from what Harry didn't know. Quickly he packed changes of clothes, the mirror Hermione gave him, his wand, and his passport and moneybag.

* * * "Why, Malfoy?!" Hermione yelled struggling against her bidding. He laughed. "Do you really think that I'm Draco Malfoy?" he snarled. Then he took off a rubber mask. It was Lucius Malfoy. "The Dark Lord had high for you, Mudblood." He said coldly, touching her cheek. "Don't fucking touch me," Hermione spat acidly. He laughed again. "You would've done well, Mudblood. And you still can. What do you say to power, Granger?" "FUCK YOU!" She shirked. Malfoy forced Hermione's face up to meet his. "Don't ever talk to me like that, Mudblood. You nothing but one. And you will always be one." Lucius growled. Then he kissed Hermione hard on the lips. She turned away discussed with herself. Then a high cold voice called, "Granger!" Hermione's insides turned to stone. "Master, it is almost ready." Lucius said to the black pool. "Faster!" it ordered. Hermione winced at the voice, Then a hand stuffed a thick material into her mouth. Hermione spat it out. "Go fuck yourselves." She snarled. "Granger, you're the most stubborn person I've met." Lucius said gently touching her cheek. "Keep your hands off me." She napped. Then she let out a howl of pain. He had stabbed her with a long knife into her side. "There's more where that came from." He hissed into her ear. Hermione spat out blood then she let out a whimper before the beatings began.

Harry sat on a plan that would take him to Alexandria but more importantly, Hermione. At last he arrived there and the Island of Pharos, the Lighthouse. He arrived and saw the lighthouse. Quickly he slipped inside. The mirror was telling him, "In the basement." So Harry walked down. Hermione was chained to a rectangular table beaten and bloody, near death. She was wearing a beautiful strapless dress or should I say was a beautiful pearl whit dress. It was lacy and strapless. But now it was a pink blood. Lucius was pouring blood into a black pool. Hermione turned to him. Her beautiful cinnamon brown eyes sparked with life. "Harry!" she shouted hoarsely. Quickly the Death Eaters turned. "STUPEFY!" Harry roared. A jet of blazing red light shit out of his wand. Lucius spun around. "You!" he snarled. "Me." Harry spat. But then a thing shot out if the black pool then into the shapeless body on the first table. Hermione twisted in her chains. Then a Death Eater pulled out Hermione's wand. "NO!" She cried helplessly. Harry started to her. "Hermione!" he yelled. She turned to him. "Go, Harry! Go! Warn Dumbledore!" she cried. Dry blood was caked on her face; it mixed into her beautiful brown hair. "NO! HOLD ON!" But then the body became fuller. A man appeared. "No," Harry whispered. It was Lord Voldemort. "We meet again, Potter. And look, it's your girlfriend," Voldemort added touching her face with his spider like fingers. Hermione whimpered. "Leave her!" Harry roared. But Voldemort got out his wand. "Crucio!" Hermione shirked in agony, twitching. "I said leave her!" Harry thundered. The curse was lifted. Hermione was whimpering still and twitching. I have to beat him! Harry thought. Or Hermione won't make it! Voldemort smiled. "So the Great Harry Potter has a weakness." He grinned touching Hermione's cheek. She winced. "Don't worry, Mudblood. I have plans for you." He hissed into her ear. Hermione recoiled at the touch. "Get your fucking hands off her!" Harry roared. Voldemort turned to him. "Potter, you and I will duel. At the Chamber of Secrets. But for now I think I'll let you try and find you girlfriend." He smirked. He snapped his fingers and Hermione vanished. "NO!" He yelled. "You have 72 hours to find her. Or else she'll die very slowly and very painfully. Then Voldemort disappeared. Harry fell to his knees. "NO!" he bellowed pounding his fist onto the ground. Then he got up. "Okay, all I have to do is locate Hermione. And I only have 72 hours!" Harry said furiously. Then he disapperated. "Harry, are you all right?" Sirius asked that the M.E.T.A.D.M Headquarters. "I have 72 hours to find Hermione. And I have no fucking idea where the fuck she is! Yeah, everything is peachy!" Harry snapped. Sirius and Remus looked startled. "72 hours? Harry, did something else happen?" Remus asked cautiously. "Yeah, Voldemort's back." He said grimly. "What!?" bellowed Sirius and Remus in alarm. "He's back. And the only person who knows how to stop vanished." "I never thought I'd say this but we've got to find Hermione." Sirius sighed. Remus nodded. James and Lilly came in. "And so we will." James said. Harry looked at his parents. "Yeah but I have no idea where she is!" Harry said slipping into a chair. Lily frowned. "Harry, we'll help. We'll get old friends to locate her." She promised. He looked up at his mother. "Thanks, Mum." He whispered. She smiled. James looked proudly at his son. "I'm very proud of you, Harry. Sticking up with those Dursleys all those years ago. You just wait. We'll go and have a talk with that sister of yours, Lils." He grinned looking at her. "Don't you dare hex her or I'll buy a dragon! And I'll get Dudley to live with us!" she snapped. James cowered in fear. Harry laughed. "Down to business," Sirius said seriously. "we need to find Hermione Granger!" Harry nodded. Hold on, Hermione. I'm coming. He thought.

Hermione opened her blood caked eyes. Her arms were hung up her feet more than 50 feet from the ground. She felt ready to die. "Hello, Miss Granger," said an amused voice. Hermione looked down. Lord Voldemort stood against a pillar smiling. "What do you want?" Hermione croaked. "I wouldn't talk if I were you. You've lost a lot of blood you restore me. And for that I spear your life for now." He said. Hermione whimpered in pain. Voldemort chuckled; he stepped onto a balance beam, which raised up to meet her. "You're brave, Miss Granger. Very brave, a worthy duelist I may add. You and Potter are the best duelists I've ever met." He whispered wiping her bloody face clean. He then lifted her chin. Their eyes met. "I see why Potter loves you. You have beautiful eyes and a perfect figure." He said kissing her cheek softly. "Please don't hurt me." She pleaded. "Hurt you? Never, Mr Malfoy has already seen to that." Voldemort said, mildly shocked. Then tears of pain fell from her eyes. "If I know Potter, he'll be here shortly." Voldemort soothed softly. He wiped her tears and kissed her cheek then left. Hermione hung there. No wand and no way of escape. All her training went down the drain. There was nothing to be done. Hermione had promised to die to fight Voldemort when Professor Dumbledore trained her. "Harry, I want to see you one last time," she whispered. "It's only the Beginning of the End." She added.

* * *

Harry's team worked for 2 days trying to find Hermione. But still nothing turned up. Harry sat in his office drumming his fingers together, thinking. "Where are you, Hermione?" he wondered aloud. There was a knock on his door and Lily came in with a mug of tea. "Here, Harry, drink this." She said kindly, setting down the mug. Harry smiled very weakly. "Thanks, Mum." Lily sat down. "I'm sure you'll find her, Harry. She's strong. Hermione will pull through. Just have faith." She said gently. He looked into her emerald green eyes that he inherited. "I know. Hermione's a brilliant witch. I know I-" But he stopped talking. "Harry, I want to see you one last time. It's the Beginning of the End." Said a very weak voice. "It's Hermione. I can hear her," Harry gapped, startling Lily. She looked at him. "Where is she?" she asked. Harry closed his eyes, thinking, feeling her. "She's in Rome. In the Colosseum." He finally said, opening his bright green eyes. "And she's dying."

* * *

Hermione opened her eyes weakly. "I just want to see Harry. One last time." She whimpered. Her body was batter and torn. Her wrists were bloody and the bones were near visible. Plus her other injuries weren't helping. Hermione looked down. Nothing but black water. There was a small door some 400 yards away. She groaned. So sleepy. She thought. But she just wanted to see her beloved Harry Potter.

* * *

Harry and his team arrived in Rome with only a few hours left to rescue Hermione. Harry motioned his team. "We split up. Who ever finds Hermione first get her and try to get away as soon as possible." Harry said. Nodding they split. Harry climbed down the worn steps. So close. He thought. Suddenly as he reached the bottom he cam face to face with Lord Voldemort. "And now, Potter, we duel!" Suddenly Harry felt a jerk behind his navel as though he being pulled foreword. Suddenly Harry was standing in The Chamber of Secrets. "Poor Potter, you thought your girlfriend was in Rome. But really she's right here!" Voldemort laughed. Harry's head shot up. A woman in a beautiful lace whit dress was hanging above them. Hermione Granger hung there, bloody and battered. "Hermione!" Harry cried, trying to get to her. But Voldemort stopped him. "Yes, Potter she's here. But you have to defeat me to free her." He said, getting his wand out. Harry's eyes flashed with rage. "Fine, only if you swear not to hurt Hermione." Harry snapped. "I swear, I only want to duel you, Potter," Voldemort hissed. "Relashio!" Harry was blasted off his feet by the spell. "Diffindo!" Harry roared. Knifes cut into Voldemort. He screamed. "Crucio!" Harry dodged it. "Your turn. Fiery Leviate!" Harry snarled. A giant blast of fire shot at Voldemort. It hit him fully in the chest. Again Voldemort screamed in agony. "Avada Kedavra!" roared Voldemort. Harry jumped aside in time to avoid the killing curse. "PETRIFUS INKEDAMUS!" Harry bellowed. The same spell Hermione used when she battled him shot into Voldemort. He roared in pain. "Crucio!" Harry was hit wit the Cruciatus curse. He yelped in pain. "Fiery Leviate!" Harry boomed. Once again a huge fireball shot at Voldemort. He fell back his wand went flying. Then the flames vanished. Harry Potter was upon him with his wand. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't do this and I will." He whispered coldly. "If you kill me, you'll be like me." Voldemort hissed. Harry glared at him, with all the hate in the world burning in his eyes. "You stole my childhood. I was forced to live with muggles who hated me! Nearly killed my best friend. And now do you think I fucking care about killing you!" Harry barked. Suddenly Voldemort's wand flew to him. Then he threw Harry off him. "Here it ends! Avada-" Harry leapt to his feet and shouted quickly, "Avada Kedavra!" A large emerald green phoenix blasted from his wand and into Voldemort. He blasted away, screaming. His ashes were destroyed. "Incendio!" Harry cried. The ropes broke and Hermione fell. Harry caught her though as she fell. Her eyes were caked with dry blood and were closed her wrists bloody and the bones nearly showing. Harry gently lay her down on the ground. "Hermione, can you hear me? Please, say something." He begged. Hermione said nothing but she did show signs of life. Harry cried softly into her body. His tears seemed to wake her. Hermione blinked. "Harry? Is that you?" she croaked. He smiled weakly. "Hey, I'm here." He whispered. She smiled weakly. "I knew you'd come." She moaned. "Shh, save you energy." Harry said. Hermione gasped. "I feel so light." She moaned. Harry lifted her. Indeed she was very light. "Hermione, stay with me, please!" Harry pleaded. She looked at him. "I'll try." She said weakly. Then quickly Harry brought Hermione up to the Hospital Wing. Professor Dumbledore met them. "I knew you'd be here." He said quietly. He led Harry to a bed where he set Hermione down. Madame Pomfrey came running over with a goblet full of potion. She slipped the potion into Hermione's mouth then she forced the liquid down. Then the nurse turned to Harry and Dumbledore. "I don't know if she'll make it." She whispered. Harry felt as if he had just died. "Her injuries are just to great. We must move her to St. Mongo's Hospital or she'll die." The medi nurse said. Harry nodded and picked Hermione and hurried to Hogsmeade station. Hermione was asleep but Harry could see her in pain. "Please, hold on. I can't loose you!" he said crying on her. At last the train arrived and soon they arrived at the hospital. Many Medi wizards hurried over. They took Hermione away from Harry. For many hours there was nothing to do but wait. At last a Medi wizard came out. Harry hurried over to him. "She's in a coma. I'm sorry. The lose of blood was great so she slipped into a coma. Chances of her waking up are 1/20," he said clasping Harry on the shoulder. Harry froze there as if he had not heard or did hear but did not believe. "Thank-you." He said huskily. The Medi wizard nodded and left. Slowly Harry walked into Hermione's room. She looks like an angel. A fallen angel. He thought bitterly. Hermione lay there breathing softly. He pulled up a chair and sat down beside her, holding her hand as if it was his life. "I love you so much. I loved you since out first train ride. I thought you were the most beautiful girl in the world. And you are. Please, come back to me." Harry mumbled. Ron Weasley came in, holding in holding his bowler hat tightly. "Harry, I'm so sorry. I dropped all charges against her." Ron said, with tears. Harry looked at him. "Thank you, Ron."
