***probably need to mention this again: I own nothing, squat, dirt, nada, zip. (well actually I do own the plot hehehe)
Hermione sobbed louder as Voldemort did the Cruiartus curse on Luna again. Luna however was silent as she writhed in pain. Hermione shut her eyes tight and started to pray to every thing. The moon, God, the dirt, the trees. Anything that came into her mind. Voldemort pulled the curse off and stared expectantly down at the blonde head breathing heavily at his feet.
"Speak friend of Harry Potter," he hissed with a definite edge in his voice. But Luna was quiet. Hermione couldn't tell if it was out of loyalty to Harry of if her short breaths left no air for talking. Voldemort growled and spun on one foot into the darkness of the woods.
His voice lingered in the air, "I'll be back when Harry arrives." Hermione shivered and scooted over to Luna. The small girl's eyes were no longer dreamy and wishful. Instead they were empty and full of pain. She lay curled up on the ground rocking back and forth. It was a miracle she hadn't gone crazy yet. So many curses, so much pain.
Voldemort hadn't even glanced at Hermione. She was beginning to feel that he didn't want her there and might murder her on the spot. She reached out a hand pulled Luna up into a sitting position then into a hug.
"Luna," she coaxed. "Look at me." Although reluctant Luna raised her head. Hermione smiled. She could still find Luna deep in the big, watery, eyes.
"Luna," she began again. "You are so brave and strong. I would give anything to be like you. Your eyes speak though your mouth says not a word. I wish I had my wand. I might be able to make you more comfortable. For now though lay down. You, Luna Lovegood, have been through enough."
Luna smiled weakly, Hermione wasn't sure how she found the strength, and gratefully sank to the ground and fell asleep. Suddenly Hermione felt alone. The forest shadows stalked the light wiping out all traces of an outside world.
At that moment a loud bang came from what sounded like the outer edge of the forest. More bangs came now with shrieking whistles.
Then, "You not Harry!" and the loudest bang of all. The forest was still again. From what Hermione could make of it, someone had apparated to the edge of the forest, but been caught by the many death eaters when he appeared. The person, judging by the loud scream, was not Harry. Hermione sank back against a tree.
***
George apparated right on target. He smiled to himself letting this small victory win him over. Three loud bangs echoed in his ears and his smiled faded. Instinctively he dropped to the ground and covered his head.
"Your not Harry!" he heard a woman cry. George shifted uncomfortably and a rock seemed to shoot at his head followed by a loud bang as it exploded in front of him. He slumped to the ground and a tall man flung him over his shoulder and began to carry him into the woods.
Hermione screamed as Lucius Malfoy walked into the clearing with George Weasley slung over his shoulder. She jumped up and began to hit him hard as she could with her tiny fists. Lucius laughed viciously and flung George to the ground.
"Give up mudblood. The dark lord always wins." And with that he left her there alone once again.
The second Lucius Malfoy was out of sight Hermione flung herself on George. He groaned as she started shaking him out of his unconscious slumber.
"George!" she yelled at him crying. "Please wake up." At the sound of her voice he shot forward. Hermione wrapped her arms around his neck and started crying into his shoulder.
"Hermione!" said George amazed, but began patting her all the same. After a long time of crying and comforting Hermione was the one who pulled away.
"You came back for me," she whispered her face a pitiful sight. To George she only seemed more beautiful. He reached out and held her for a long time whispering over and over again, "I love you Hermione Granger."
