Everything To Fight For
Wow! Brainwave, totally! New idea's and screw the thought of this story being over really soon, its got the perfect ending but its going on! YAY! I don't have to end it! I'm happy now! All right, now that I have my confidence back in this story and I don't have anything in my way, I can write! Yah! This chapter is actually coming soon behind the other one. What a shock from lately!
Disclaimer- I am a confusing person and I think I've gone crazy… the only thing I know for sure is that I don't own Harry Potter. That sucks. I'm losing my sanity and I don't have anything. This is sad.

Chapter 14 Nothing Left
When Narcissa had finally gotten Hermione to calm down from her shaking sobs, they had both come to reason.
"All right, we can sneak to the ceremony and grab whatever device it is before they use it." Narcissa suggested.
"Without being seen?" Hermione implied, wanting no answer.
"Merlin, if this is his destiny there is no way we can mess with it!" Narcissa said in a shaky voice. "There is no way to change destiny… is there?"
"Not likely." Hermione answered sternly. "It's a good thing that this isn't his destiny. No way. Not Draco."
Narcissa's eyes trailed to the clock that hung on the wall before them. "Well… well…" She broke into sobs.
"Go." Hermione said with a less than sturdy voice. She shook down all thoughts of fear from the lump in her throat to the pit of her stomach, so that it couldn't be heard when she spoke. "Go to the ceremony. I'll think of something."
"Merlin, the ceremony has started!" Narcissa yelped.
Hermione nodded. "Just go."
As Narcissa left, her thoughts rambled through her mind endlessly. What had she just done? Promising Narcissa she would think of a way to save Draco! She had no ideas. Her mind felt empty. Alone. It was like Ron always had said, 'your mind is filled with books, 'Mione. But you have no streets smarts.'
Ron was right. Ron… RON. HARRY. GINNY! They would be there for her! This was fighting for a right cause, Hermione was sure Harry would help her because he would be helping everyone else, not just Draco.
But how would she get to them? Shit. She hadn't thought of that. Then she sighed. Muggles were good for a couple things, and technology just so happened to be one of them. She dug through the pockets in her jeans and pulled out her cell phone.
"Hello? Ginny?" Hermione whispered.
"Hermione! Where are you? I haven't heard from you in a while!" Ginny's happy voice squealed.
"Look, I need your help. I need Ron and Harry's too. Tell Ron thanks for the advice too. You guys need to get to Malfoy Manner. NOW. The side door will be open, so you'll have easy entry. I'm in the manner right now." Hermione said quickly.
"W-what? What the hell is going on, Hermione? You sound scared! Why are you whispering? What's going on?"
"I'll tell you when you get here."
"It would be nice to know now."
"I know… but you can't know now. Just hurry… and know that this is important."
………………….
She had allowed them all to come through the side door of the manner. Hermione had also kept a close eye on the clock while she told them everything that had happened, skipping the parts where she cried and where Draco wouldn't kiss her. But she told them how he looked, and how scared she was.
Ginny held onto Harry as Hermione spoke, looking up at his nods once in a while and wondering all the while if Harry was up for helping Draco. As for Ron, he gave Hermione reassuring hugs and words of comfort.
"Hermione…" Harry said slowly, "If this means a lot to you, I guess I'll help you. Besides, we can't let him go on a rampage like Voldemort."
Hermione flung her arms around Harry, tears streaming from her eyes. "Thank you, Harry. I knew I could count on you."
……………..
They had all climbed up through a secret passage to the large room where Draco was to be crowned. They found themselves up near the ceiling of the room at the back. Harry climbed into the other back room and returned with three items.
"I think I have it… The stuff that will turn Malfo- Draco, into whatever it's supposed." Harry said.
In his hands he held a staff, a dark glass ball, and parchment with weird symbols on it.
"Lets hope this works." Ron said, looking at all of the men beneath them.
The man whop was speaking, stepped down allowing Luscious to take over.
"The dark lord has always wanted us to crown this boy as his next in line ruler. Our time has come. We will give him the shot, to insert the darkness of our former ruler. No one has known in all of time, how this darkness can be washed away out of the mind. After that, I will be able to take my control off of him and he will be crowned king." Luscious smirked.
The men started cheering and saying, 'dark lord' over and over again.
"Now, you there," Luscious pointed to one of the onlookers. "You can go and get the things that we need from the other room."
The man left and came back with two items. "The ball is gone…" The man muttered.
"WHAT!" Luscious screeched. Then he waved a hand. "Fine, fine… that doesn't really matter anyways."
Hermione heard her voice squeak.
"Uh oh…" Harry whispered.
The man handed the crown and a shot with black liquid in it, to Luscious.
"Why are you crying, Narcissa?" Luscious spat.
"Uh, I… I'm just so happy…" Narcissa struggled out. "It's the best day of my life."
Luscious seemed to buy her lies. "Good, good. This is a true follower. Try to be like her." He sneered.
Narcissa sobbed louder. "Thank you… This is all so wonderful…"
"LET A NEW AGE BEGIN! LET IT REIGN FOREVER!" Luscious said, lifting the needle in the air as if it were a toast and stabbing Draco in the neck with its long point.
Draco screamed out in pain, twitching and struggling as the dark fluid was injected deep into his body. The men sang as Draco screamed. Then all was silent.
Luscious lifted the crown.
Hermione cried silently.
Draco screamed.
Silence.
The crown was placed on Draco's head. Green light illuminated the area around him. The new Dark Lord.
