Chapter 16
Fallen Heroes
"My Lord we have lost contact with them three, it seems that they have been caught. The new teachers seem to have saved their beloved mudblood Hermione Granger-"
"What does she have to do with this!!!" he hissed his eyes glowing red with anger. His servant backed down.
"The-they seem to be very close, My Lord. A different way than teachers should, they treat her like she is one of them. That is what our sources are saying, that they have a very close relationship."
Voldemort was silent and his servant feared he may lash out at him with anger, but most of all kill him. "Does he bring his son soon???"
"Wha-what My Lord?"
"DOES LUCIUS BRING HIS SON SOON!!!!!"
"Yes My Lord bu-"
"He seems very distant lately…have someone keep an eye on him. Tell Lucius to fetch his son…in other words tell him to go there and get him, he will make those little wench's fall to their grave. Go. And tell him not to disappoint me, ask him if he remembers what happened to Narcissa. What are you doing just standing there I SAID GO!!!!" the servant fled the room and haven't stopped until he Disapparated to the Malfoy Manor.

Meanwhile as Voldemort's servants went to tell Lucius, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape and the Charmed Ones were having a discussion. "I am well aware of that Paige and I have to agree that he may be doing just that."
"Headmaster, you don't believe a single word these hussies are saying do you!!!! They are not the solution, they are the PROBLEM!!!!"
Piper made a motion at him making him freeze and that pleased McGonagall. "Albus I still this is dangerous. He is now after the children, besides the Slytherins. This could have happened to Harry or possibly worse!!! What will happen when you perform-"
"That is enough Minerva. We mustn't dwell on what you have disagreeing to what you agreed to before. You mustn't back down on your word." Dumbledore said kindly.
Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked lost. "What the hell are you talking about!?!" exclaimed Piper not knowing what was going on.
"This is none to be worry of."
"The hell it is. We're here helping you fight Voldesnort, while we should be at home protecting the world from darkness. Saving two parts in the world is enough…but you leave us in the dark then we will leave." Paige stated firmly.
Phoebe nodded in agreement. "You can't do that to us, we are the most power fullest witches right now, and my nephew is to be the future of power. You leave us in the dark then we will lose."
Dumbledore listened calmly while McGonagall pursed her lips together in a thin line. "I suppose you are right, we shall tell you three. But first, would you be so kindly to unfreeze Severus."
"Fine." Was all Piper said when she unfroze him. "Just be lucky I didn't blow him up." Severus looked at Dumbledore as he opened his mouth to explain what he was doing.

"Hey Harry has Hermione doing???" Ginny asked, sitting beside him while he gazed into the fire with a blank expression.
"I dunno she's been in her room all week. Parvati and Lavender tried to get her to come out but it didn't work. I would-" he was cut short when Hedwig (that's how you spell Harry's owl rite?) came soaring in holding a letter in her beak. "Hedwig???"
"Sorry Harry, I borrowed Hedwig to send my Mum a letter. Looks like she has something to tell us…you wanna know what she wrote???"
"Yeah." He replied as he watched her open her mouth to read the letter out loud:
Ginny,
To answer your first question, no there is still any sign of your Father, I hope that he is alright. Being here is quite lonely even though Fred and George visit daily. No I haven't heard from Percy, he may be still avoiding us or he still may be pig headed!!! Oh that brother of yours!!!! Charlie and Bill have been here also they send their love to you and Ron. They have been terribly harassed at work. They say that You-Know-Who's supporters have been moving around lately and that some are there were they work. Ginny, my darling and Ron, my son, I think that not all of us shall survive the war that is coming upon us. I decided to leave this house and run to hide out. Death Eaters has been here and many are killed. Do not worry I shall soon see you both, but until then stay in Hogwarts and stay out of trouble!!! Especially you Harry, I know that Ron or Ginny would be reading this to you. Please don't do anything drastic…remember what happened last year. Forgive me for writing a long letter, because I fear it will be a long time until I can right to you again. Take care and take care of each other. I-
Ginny put the letter down and looked up, tears were coming down her face, Harry looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why did you stop Ginny??? Ginny??"
"The-the letter…it stopped there….." she said before breaking down and start crying. Harry walked over to her and placed his arms around her, trying to calm her down.

Hermione sat near the lake watching the sun fall making the sky change colors. The wind came in calmly making her feel comfortable but not very much when she keeps remembering what happened that day. She hasn't gotten a good rest since. Always looking over her shoulder, feeling as though she was being watched. She felt so…crowded, she needed to be alone to think. She was unaware that someone sat besides her until they nudged her. She looked and met their eyes. "What are you doing here???" the person asked.
"Funny I could ask you the same thing, Mal-Draco." She replied.
"Needed to get some air. The Slytherins were too…how should I say this…wanna-be-mutha-fuckin-Death Eaters."
"I suppose you should be with them too bu-"
"What's that suppose to mean Granger!?" his eyes flashing dangerously when she said that. "I am nothing like them. I take no orders from no one, I control my own destiny."
"Draco I didn't mean that….you didn't let me finish-"
"The hell should I care!!!" he said standing up suddenly. He was about to walk away but Hermione grabbed his hand. He turned back around and stared at it not knowing what to do. Then he looked up to her face that was brimmed with tears.
"I was going to say that you are nothing like them…you are you and nobody could or can change that…" when she said that more tears poured down her face and Draco wiped them away with his thumb.
"Why are you crying Granger….did something happen…" she broke down sobbing and he awkwardly patted her head as she told him the story of what happened with the Death Eaters, but filled in the part with the Charmed Ones using wands instead of their powers.
"……I was so scared I thought I was going to die!!! Draco I don't want to die…I want to grow old and marry the man I love and have kids. But sometimes I have the feeling I'm not…."
"Granger listen okay. (Hermione nodded her head buried in his chest) I know that there may be some tough times thinking you won't make it out alive. Believe me I've been there myself…hell of a lot of times!!! I survived of being strong…you should too. If not for you then for me."
Hermione sobbed quietly when he spoke this. He cupped her chin and lifted it so that their eyes met. Her puffy brown eyes met his stormy grey eyes, and immediantly felt like everything was going to be okay. He slowly lowered his head towards hers and gave her a kiss in her lips. He was going to pull back but Hermione reached forward for more. The kiss sent fireworks through her head and felt every worry and problem just dissolved. She felt as though she was safe from everything else….and felt connected to him. She felt as though he knew how she felt, but that was cut short when somebody cleared their throat. They yanked away from each other and saw a grinning Phoebe standing their her eyes danced with excitement. Hermione blushed a deep shade of red when Draco acted as if nothing happened. "Mister Malfoy your Father is here he's up in the old Dumbledor's office. I'll take you there. Hermione you wanna come???"
Hermione nodded her headed her head and the Trio headed back towards the castle, one of them with heavy hearts and the other with confused emotions.

"…May I ask is to why young Malfoy is going home this week??" Dumbledore asked politely to Senior Malfoy who sat across from him holding a snake like cane.
"Our business does not concern you, but he will be out until Monday. The funeral of his Mother will be held Saturday….."
"Oh course. I am sorry to hear that Narcissa passed away at a very young age, she was a very powerful and commited witch-"
"I very know my own wife Dumbledore, especially if she is deceased. I do not need to be reminded of that you-"
He was about to see something very rude but Phoebe stepped into the office with Hermione and Draco behind her. Lucius looked at Phoebe with a look of interest and scanned her quickly so that she wouldn't notice. 'This must be one of the newest teachers…I must say that old fool has some taste.' Lucius stood up and walked to them, but planned on introducing himself to Phoebe. "I believe we have not met. My name is Lucius Malfoy, Draco's father. And who this enchanted lady before me be???"
"I'm Phoebe Halliwell, I am the new teacher for History of Magic."
"Nice to meet you Miss Halliwell." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Phoebe's eyes flew shut as she had a vision
~vision~
Lucius kicked Draco in the ribs over and over until he started spitting up blood. He grabbed him by the hair and said in a very threatening voice, "You shall learn to obey the Dark Lord and worship him. I will not let you speak of him like that. One more dirty remark or if I hear you associating with that mudblood you will end up like your beloved Mother."
~end of vision~
Phoebe opened her eyes when Lucius started talking again. "….and I suppose my son is doing well in that class, is he not???"
Phoebe shivered by his voice. Even though she had that vision she felt attracted to him. Maybe because she was into bad boys and he has been a very, very bad boy. "Of course Mister-"
"Call me Lucius."
"Okay…you can call me Phoebe, then."
"It was a pleasure meeting you Phoebe. Come Draco we must get home to make preparations." He said before striding out the door with Draco behind him looking tense.
Phoebe turned to Hermione and said hastily, "Go get Piper and Paige, now!!!" Hermione noticed the urgency in her voice and left running to search for them.

Ginny was walking near the forest recalling of what the letter said, she felt nothing now….she felt numb. All her feelings just left her when her Father disappeared and probably her Mother too. She was about to turn and walk back to the castle but suddenly stopped when she heard a rustle in the leaves. "Wh-who's there???"
"Gggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnny, come to me darling………."
She felt very scared and felt very stupid on insisting that she take a walk by herself when the sky was getting dark. Again she heard it repeat what 'it' just said. Her mind said run back to the castle jackass, but her feet were permanently glued to the ground.
"Ggggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnyyyy, don't you want to be happy again…..don't you want to see your Mother and Father agaiiinnnn…….."
"Wh-who a-are yo-you!?! How do you know that my Mum and Dad are missing!!! ANSWER ME!!!!!
The sky filled with a cold hearted laugher. "Ddddoon't fret child, they are hear with me…safe…"
"How do I know that you are not lying???"
"Do you wish to ssssseeeeeee them???"
"Yes…"
"Alegre recordacion." When the voice spoke that a shimmering mirror appeared showing her Mother and Father back at home embracing each other and saying comforting words to each other. Her Mother and Father had a few scratches, bruises and their clothes were slightly torn but they looked fine and unharmed....for now. "Yyyyyyoooouu see child I speak not of lies…come with mmmmee if you want to be with them."
Ginny hesitated for a while thinking it was probably a trick but she obligated and stepped into the forest to find the mysterious voice.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" screamed Harry as he fell to the ground clutching his scar that was burning with pain. Ron hurriedly bent down to check on him and others went to go get a Professor.
"Harry…Harry…..HARRY!!!! Are you okay!!!! Can you hear me!!!!" Harry let out another cry of pain and when Ron pulled his hands off his scar he could see that it his forehead was covered by blood, from his scar.
