Chapter 5: The Rescue Attempt

Hermione was still trapped in the room and Voldemort dropped in on her from time to time. She then knew what he was up to every time he came to visit her. He still wanted her to help him rule the wizard and Muggle world. Hermione was taking care of Lily once again when Voldemort entered the room once again. Hermione sighed as she felt his presence behind her. "I have told you before, Voldemort, I will never join you. I would rather die than join you," she answered before he could ask. Voldemort sat across from her with his hood still over his face like it always was.

"You were always a stubborn girl, Mrs. Potter," he commented.

"No, I'm doing what is best for my child and that is protecting her from you," she snapped.

Voldemort pushed her insult away as if it were dust. "We could be friends, Mrs. Potter," he mentioned.

"I would never be a friend to the enemy of both worlds and to my husband."

"It would have you better off than killed."
"I would rather be killed."

"And why is that?"

"You are my enemy and you always will be my enemy. The enemy that killed so many people just to kill a single child and that just happened to be my husband. You left my husband with a scar and you left him orphaned and alone."

"I wouldn't be speaking. Your parents are Muggles."

"Harry's grandparents on his mother's side were Muggles."

"Look what happened to her."

"She died protecting Harry just like how I am trying to protect Lily."

Lily began to whimper in her sleep and Hermione began to quiet her down. "If you want what's best for Lily, you would join me," Voldemort insisted. Hermione shook her head and looked into the fire.

"My daughter will live a happy and normal life without you in it," she protested.

Voldemort stood up and left Hermione and Lily alone. Hermione only let a single tear fall from her eye and nothing more.

Harry and his friends arrived at Voldemort's mansion to see it heavily guarded by Death Eaters. Sirius placed a hand on Harry's shoulder. "I'll distract Lucius while you find a way to distract the rest of them," Sirius explained. They nodded and watched as Sirius turned into his dog form and ran off towards where Lucius Malfoy stood.

Sirius came up to the evil wizard and growled. Lucius looked down and pulled out his wand. "I'll finish you off, little dog," he snapped. Sirius jumped and pranced as Lucius shot at him. He sat in front of him wagging his tail while barking. "Dumb mutt," he hissed. Sirius barked and ran in a circle around Lucius. Draco then called upon a spell that tied his father up. He stood in front of his father once it was finished. "Well, well, if it isn't my traitor son," Malfoy spat. Draco glared at his father and pointed his wand at him.

"Tell me how to lift the spell from my wife?" Draco demanded.

"If you're talking about the Weasely girl, you may just forget about it," Lucius answered.

Draco turned to see his wife's brother and friend hurry inside while he had his father cornered. "Tell me how to lift the spell," he ordered.

As Harry and Ron hurried down the hall, they saw two halls. Ron smiled at Harry before turning into a rat. Harry chuckled and shook his head. He remembered that he and Ron were both Animagus. As Ron scurried off down one hall, Harry closed his eyes and he began to change. He then spread his wings and flew off down the other hall. Harry Potter had turned himself into an eagle.

Hermione was half asleep when she heard something pecking at her door. She got up and opened the door. An eagle flew into her room and gracefully landed on the floor. Hermione was confused until the large bird's wings wrapped around itself and began to change into a human. Harry removed his robes from his face and smiled. Hermione gasped and ran over to him. Harry gladly took Hermione into his arms and held her tight. "I knew you would come, I just knew it," she murmured. Harry smiled and looked into her eyes.

"He didn't hurt you did he?" He asked.

Hermione shook her head and then realization hit her. "Harry, you have to hide," she murmured.

"Why?" He asked.

Hermione held onto his hands in fear. "Harry, Voldemort is after you. We're the bait, you're the prey," she whispered. Harry's eyes widened and not even two minutes after Hermione said those words, the door opened and Voldemort stood there with Sirius, Draco, and Ron.

"Well, look what I have caught in my little trap," Voldemort cackled.
