The room they entered was lighter, Harry could see it was an office. 'Look!' he whispered, while pointing at a pile of books on the desk. Hermione whispered 'Lumos!' and read the titles out loud. 'Conquer the world in three easy steps',...'Why I am better than the others'..and...' Hermione gasped and read; 'Prefects who gained power' Harry looked at it and widened his eyes. He remembered this book; Percy Weasley had been reading it when he was in his second year and Percy was Prefect. 'D'you reckon he-?' started Harry. 'With Voldemort?' replied Hermione. 'Well, he did betray his family, he never talks to them-' Harry started. 'I know,.. but Voldemort?' asked Hermione again. Harry shrugged 'I didn't believe it either when they told me they never spoke to him again,...' 'Let's see what behind that door' said Hermione, pointing at the green door across the room.
The door wasn't locked to their surprise and when they entered, both of them gasped. In front of them stood Percy Weasely, with his back towards them, in discussion with Lucius Malfoy. 'Did that door just open?' Lucius asked between their conversation. Percy turned around, now merely inches away from where Harry and Hermione stood. Harry held his breath while he and Hermione shuffled sideways. Percy just reached past Harry to close the door. 'Probably the wind' he stated. But Lucius narrowed his eyes 'It's never the wind, foolish boy. That's one of the things you need to learn. And the Dark Lord knows that, that's one of the reasons he doesn't trust you,..' Lucius snapped. Percy turned to face Lucius. 'and that's no reason to let YOU do all the things he gives me orders to, now is it?' he replied angry. 'My, my, Weasley, back off. I'm sure if I had let you lure that Potter boy it wouldn't have worked at all' Lucius grinned. Percy crossed his arms. 'Like YOU didn't let him escape. Honestly Lucius, WHAT good have you done for the Dark Lord? You've let Severus Snape back in the Death Eater group, while you KNOW he's a spie for Dumbledore.' Percy observed Lucius. 'SEVERUS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!' Lucius' so usually pale face was now strangely red, he grabbed his wand and pointed it at Percy. 'And you, you WORTHLESS GIT, you USELESS, BROKEN MUDBLOOD FRIEND! Did you actually even THINK the Dark Lord would trust you after the lack of information you gave from when you were at the Ministry? He doesn't need you, and I'm sure he doesn't mind me taking care of you!' Percy took a few steps back, almost bumped into Hermione, who quickly moved closer to Harry. Lucius was now narrowing his eyes. 'Weasley,...did you hear that?' he asked. Percy narrowed his eyes as well.
Hermione began to panic; she stopped breathing and looked at Harry, who was focusing his eyes on the two man. Harry rubbed his 'I' on his hand with his thumb three times and then said 'Hermione, they are going to discover us,.. we must get to that door!' Hermione looked across the room; behind Lucius there was another green door. 'We'll never make it!' she said unsure. Harry suddenly grabbed her hand tightly. 'Hermione, you are not going to panic. We're going to make it, okay?' he looked at her quickly and threw her a smile and she gave in.
Suddenly, Lucius raised his wand and whispered a spell that send a strong wind, blowing the cloak of them.
'HA! The Potter boy and the Mudblood,...' Lucius smirked. Percy looked at them with fire in his eyes. 'WHAT are you doing here?' he demanded. Hermione narrowed her eyes and quikly pointed her wand at him. 'We're here to save some people, now move aside!' she replied, raising her voice. 'I don't think so,..' grinned Lucius, pointing his wand at her. 'Think again!' said Harry, pointing his wand at Lucius. Percy wanted to draw his wand to but Hermione shook her head 'Don't even try,..' she whispered. 'Now, I'm sorry to do this, but you being family of Ron doesn't keep me from doing this,... SOPOR!' she shouted, pointing her wand directly to Percy. Percy stood there, not moving, blinked a few times and fell to the floor, in a deep sleep. Hermione turned around. Harry and she were both facing Lucius.
'Well done Miss Granger, excellent sleeping charm,... I'm afraid that won't work with me' He flicked his wand dangerously. Harry narrowed his eyes. 'Maybe we want you more dead than sleeping,..' he said dark. Hermione widened her eyes a bit. She wasn't expecting to actually kill someone. 'harry,...' she began. But Harry whispered in her head 'Just getting him nervous!' Hermione smirked and pointed her wand at Lucius. Lucius' smile was fading off of his face. 'Don't toy me, I'm stronger than both of you' he started. 'Oh, really? Than you must be stronger than the Dark Lord, for he couldn't even kill me' Harry noticed. Lucius took a step back. 'Now,.. now don't do anything foolish,...' he warned. 'Foolish? Like.... Oops! I killed Lucius? What would be foolish about that?' Harry asked sarcastic 'We would only be better off with you dead, so...' Hermione added. Lucius narrowed his eyes and the second after that, he was gone.
'He disapparated!' Hermione said, putting her wand away. '....better than standing in our way. Let's go.' Harry said, pulling the cloak over them again.
