On Monday night, Hermione found herself back at the Malfoy's. Draco
answered the door and she smiled when she saw him. She so badly wanted to
inform him that The Order suspected him, but she knew she had better speak
with Voldemort first.
She followed Draco into the parlor where the Death Eaters lounged about, Voldemort sitting in a high backed chair.
"My Lord." Hermione walked in, kneeling before him on the marble floor.
"Miss Granger, how very glad I am to see you." Voldemort smiled
"I've brought you what you've asked for." She pulled the parchment with the signatures on it from her robes as well as the file folder. She handed him the rolled parchment, happy to finally give it to him.
Voldemort unrolled it and read it over out loud. "Order of the Phoenix Member Listing. By signing this parchment, you agree to join the resistance against Voldemort, also known as Tom Marvolo Riddle. - Signed Albus Dumbledore."
Several Death Eaters snickered as Voldemort continued to read. "Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Arabella Figg, Alastor Moody, Dedalus Diggle, Frank Longbottom, Alice Longbottom --- Bella aren't these the fools you drove into insanity?" he asked.
"Yes." She smiled. "I suppose I went a bit overboard with Crucio."
The Death Eaters laughed.
"Marlene McKinnon ---."
"Severus took care of her and her entire family for opposing us." Lucius smirked and patted Snape on the shoulder. Snape gave a half smile.
"Benjy Fenwicke - Deceased."
"Tore that one apart, we did." Goyle Sr. spoke up, smiling at the memory and looking at Crabbe Sr..
"Edgar Bones - Deceased."
"You all should have taken out that entire family. Susan Bones goes to my school, incredibly annoying girl. She dared to ask me to the Yule Ball in my fourth year." Draco sneered, as he sat on the arm of the sofa next to Snape.
"Gideon and Fabian Prewett - Deceased. Oh yes, I remember those two boys. They were the ones who put up quite a struggle."
"Yes that's right. Took me, Vincent, Gregory, Rudulph, and Rabastan to take them down" Macnair reminisced.
"Sirius Black - Deceased."
Bella erupted into laughter. "Stupid fool, thought he could defeat me. He should have never turned his back on the family."
"James and Lily Potter - Deceased."
The Death Eaters went quiet, everyone except for Peter. "Oh yes, bloody fools they were. Because of them the Master lost his powers.." Peter sighed. Everyone looked at him. Voldemort narrowed his eyes and changed the subject.
"Good work, Granger. There must be thirty names on this list." He said.
"I've also brought this, my Lord." She handed him the folder on Death Eaters. He looked it over quickly and set it down on the coffee table.
"Excellent work. Now, I have a bit of a surprise for all of you." Voldemort smiled. He got up and headed for the library, Death Eaters in tow.
"Bella, would you, please?" he asked, pointed towards the chamber door that once held Ron Weasley.
"Of course, Master." She bowed her head and walked across the large room to it.
"Masks on." Voldemort ordered.
Bellatrix came back a second later with a bound and gagged Remus Lupin.
Hermione widened her eyes behind her mask, she had just spent most of yesterday with that man, now here he was inside a circle of Death Eaters.
"The fool had the nerve to be milling about Knockturn Alley, asking questions about us." Lucius hissed. "I don't think he understands just how big of a circle the Dark Lord's followers are."
Voldemort glided over to him and pushed him down onto his knees, ripping the gag from his mouth. "Anything you'd like to say, Remus?"
"Yes." He looked around at the featureless black masks. "The Aurors are coming for you."
"He's lying." Bella shrieked, jabbing her wand in his neck.
"No, I'm not." Lupin smirked as he struggled to stand.
They were abruptly interuptted by a low whirring noise, and Lucius looked up quickly at a large silver mirror that hung above the fireplace. He reached up and touched its cool surface. "Permittere Videre." He spoke to it. The mirror started to glow and showed black figures outside the house. Lucius noticed one that appeared to be close and gave a glance towards the giant window.
Suddenly the window in the library shattered inward. The Death Eaters looked around frantically. Tonks jumped inside, wearing an Auror uniform. It was a nearly graceful entrance, but she tripped slightly on the long curtain. She regained her balance and pulled her wand out of a pocket, pointing it at the group of Death Eaters.
"Hello, slime." She smirked.
The room was suddenly filled with the sounds of curses and hexes being aimed at her.
"Frigere!" A voice boomed from behind them, an icy blue light hit Draco, freezing him in place, wand pointed at Tonks.
Hermione turned around to see Kingsley flanked by a dozen or so other Aurors.
"WHO TOLD THE AURORS WHERE TO FIND US?" Hermione heard Bella scream above the noise.
Flashes of light were flying everywhere, Hermione barely had time to think, her mind was screaming at her to apparate out. Yet she couldn't find the strength to do it.
"Imperio!" Lucius pointed his wand at the Auror who was charging towards Voldemort. Hermione watched as he fixed his wand on the Auror and watched him attack another one uncontrollably.
"Stupefy!" she aimed at an Auror who was charging towards Lucius' back, knocking him to the floor.
Voldemort started mumbling some strange incantations that Hermione had never heard before, and a blue pulse of light erupted from him, knocking several Aurors to the floor.
"Expelliarmus!" Snape yelled, a wand flew from an Auror's hand.
"Accio wand!" An Auror shouted, Hermione held her wand tightly.
"Protego!" she countered. "Impedimenta!" the Auror was thrown backwards into a bookshelf, causing several volumes to cascade onto his head.
She suddenly heard a chorus of the same words, Adava Kedavra. Green light ricocheted everywhere, hitting Aurors and shattering chunks of marble from the floors. Beams of light shot upward blowing holes in the beautiful ceiling of Malfoy Manor.
A green light flashed across the room and she watched it, in slow motion, hit Professor Snape in the chest.
"Noooo!" She yelled diving over to him. He landed on his back, eyes open staring at the ceiling. "Professor? Professor?" she pushed him, but he didn't respond. Anger welled up inside of her, she looked from her motionless Potions teacher and then to the frozen Draco, she pointed her wand at a group of three Aurors who were coming her way.
"Crucio!" she screamed. The spell knocked all three of them down. She turned again to see Tonks, flanked by another Auror look up at her.
"Avada Kedavra!" Hermione shrieked. The green light flew from her wand and hit Tonks, who fell over dead.
She heard the sounds of apparating and knew the Death Eater's were retreating. She couldn't leave with out Snape and Draco, she knew she was only supposed to look after herself, yet she had grown quite fond of both of them, and she knew Draco may be sentenced to a Dementor's kiss.
"Petrificus Totalus!" she barely heard the spell before she felt its icy blast on her back. She fell over onto her face, feeling the black mask shatter.
And then it was quiet and black.
Kingsley Shacklebolt looked over the scene. Only he and Lupin were left standing. He saw a Death Eater on the floor with a mop of wavy brown hair and Draco Malfoy frozen in place. It seemed everyone else had escaped.
"That went well." Lupin sighed and walked over to the motionless Hermione. "At least we got two of them." He rolled her over and pulled the broken mask off, revealing her badly bruised face. "My god, Hermione. Why would you choose such a path?"
"She'll have a fair trial, Remus." Kingsley said slowly as he performed a thawing spell on Draco.
Lupin surveyed the room, watching marble crumble from the walls, and bits of sparkling ceiling crash to the floor. Then he noticed something strange. "Kingsley, where did Severus go? I thought I had hit him with a weak stunning spell ----."
