Chapter 4: The Plan

Harry went to the office and looked at the Daily Prophet.

You-Know-Who Captured Hermione and Lily Potter

A few days ago, Harry Potter's wife, Hermione, and their daughter, Lily, were kidnapped over three days ago. You-Know-Who captured his wife and daughter and hopefully we'll be able to find them before it is too late.

He put it down and placed his hands on his head. Sadness plagued his heart once again. Fear bothered him much worse. He feared for his wife and daughter. He prayed that they were safe once again. He prayed that Voldemort didn't touch Hermione or Lily.

When he finished the paperwork of his last mission, he decided not to come back to the Ministry of Magic until Hermione and Lily were found.

Hermione woke up in the four-post bed to find the curtains around her bed were closed. She found herself in a beautiful nightgown, but she couldn't understand why she was being treated so kindly but she was married to the enemy. She climbed out of the bed and saw that the room was lightened with candles and the fireplace. She found Voldemort standing there with an evil grin on his face. "What are you doing in my room?" She demanded.

"Actually, Mrs. Potter, I'm just allowing you to stay in my room. I just wanted to see how you slept," he answered.

"Well, you can see that I slept fine," she huffed.

Voldemort nodded and watched as Hermione looked over the gowns that were left in the closet for her. She walked over to Lily's crib and picked her up. "If you don't mind, Lord Voldemort," she suggested. Voldemort left while Hermione got changed after feeding Lily. She looked over the gowns and picked out a stunning blue dress. She knew that Voldemort wanted her to wear these gowns to make him and his Death Eaters satisfied. However, he never laid a hand on her. Even though he never harmed Hermione physically, but he was hurting her mentally. Hermione sighed and knew that he wanted her to join him for breakfast once again like he has asked her to do during the past three days. She wished she had her wand so she could protect herself from Voldemort and his servants. She prayed that Harry would find her soon or she would die from heartbreak.

Voldemort smiled as Hermione came down the stairs looking beautiful. He admired her beauty just as much as he admired all of her. He spied on her when she was at Hogwarts, when she married Harry, and he even spied on her the time she was giving birth to Lily. He watched her ever since the day he learned about her existence. He would do anything to make her belong to him. however, he knew that she was strong and he wouldn't lay a hand on her. He was going to make her be his as soon as he killed Harry. Getting Harry to know where she was, was going to be easy. Voldemort stood up as Hermione walked over to the table. "Well, well, well, even for a Professor at Hogwarts, you're still a beautiful woman," he commented.

"May I ask where you got these gowns?" She asked rather snooty.

"Now, none of that, Mrs. Potter, please, sit," he hinted.

Hermione didn't like feeling that she was treated much like the lady status that she was, but she still had a feeling that Voldemort wanted more from her as soon as she was forced to watch her husband die. Hermione wished that there were a way for her to contact Harry to warn him that it was a trap to tell him that she and Lily were all right. She also wanted him to know how much she loved him. She held back her tears as she tried to continue on with her plan. She was going to gain Voldemort's trust, once she gained his trust, she would be able to roam around the mansion without being dragged back to her room.

That night, Hermione was getting ready for bed when she felt a chill go through the room. She turned and let out a gasp at what she saw. "S-Sirius?" She asked. Sirius Black walked over to her.

"I came to help you, Hermione," he answered.

He held out a hand and Hermione grabbed it. His once pure white form changed into a human form. "I had to have a human's touch in order to help you, thank you," he explained.

"What are we going to do without Voldemort finding us?" She asked.

Sirius grinned before placing a hand on her shoulder. "Remember, I'm an Animagus," he reminded. Hermione smiled before she watched her husband's godfather turn into a black dog. She stroked the top of the dog's head.

"Good luck," she whispered.

She watched as the dog jumped out of the window. Hermione looked out the window and watched as Sirius landed on all four paws and ran. She heard Lily crying and turned to tend to her daughter.

Harry was sitting by Draco and Ron trying to figure out a plan. Just then, Lavender came in with a shocked look on her face. "Harry, you may want to see this," she informed. Harry stood up and walked out of the room with Lavender.

Once they entered the den, Harry saw a dog sitting next to the door. "Lavender, why is there a dog in here?" Ron asked.

"It's not what you think, Ron," Lavender replied.

Harry's eyes widened when the dog turned into Sirius Black. "It can't be!" Harry gasped.

"Sirius?" Ron asked.

"You were dead," Harry pointed out.

Sirius walked over to Harry with a small smile. "I am sort of dead, Harry. I have been sent back to help you find Hermione and Lily," Sirius explained.

"Have you seen, Hermione?" Harry asked.

Sirius nodded and saw the hope in his eyes. "Your wife and daughter are just fine, Harry. However, it was hard for me to get out of there without being seen. We have to think up a plan to get Hermione and Lily out there without being seen by the Death Eaters," Sirius explained.

"The worse part is that Voldemort freed my father from Azkaban. We're going to have to distract him more than the other Death Eaters. I have met them when I was in school, horrible people. My father wished for me to turn into them. I know every secret of the Death Eaters and how we can distract my father and the others," Draco explained.

Harry and Ron stared at Draco with disbelieving looks. Draco sighed and rolled his sleeve up to show them his arm. "See, I'm not a Death Eater, now do you believe that I'm not part of Voldemort's group?" Draco demanded. Ron believed him, but Harry was still skeptical about him. However, Draco did know the secrets of the Death Eaters. "I want to save Hermione and Lily just as much as you do. Not only that, I want to find out how I can save my wife," he added. Harry nodded and then they sat down and began to plan everything out.
