"M-Michael? What are you doing here?" Ron asked. "S-She's your mother?"

"Yes she is." Michael whispered as Capp backed him into a corner.

"Yes, yes and what a lovely reunion it's been. Now I really do need to get on with this so if you don't mind will you all SHUT THE HELL UP!" Capp roared. She shot the same spells at her son that she had used on Malfoy previously before leaving him hunched on the floor, unconscious, bleeding, dying.

Hermione was now feeling short of breath and panicky, and her whole body was shaking violently with the struggle she was having of trying to keep the force that was inside her from spilling out.

"You're not going to get away with this-" Harry started to say but Capp cut him off.

"Blah, blah, blah, yes I've heard it all before 'you won't get away with it, they'll catch you yeah, yeah, I'm sure they will." Capp sneered. "But the thing is even if they do my job will be done. You'll all be dead so it won't matter.

We will have gotten revenge and you, Potter, will finally be gone."

Capp was too busy laughing at Harry to notice the movement behind her. She didn't see Michael push himself up from the floor where he was lay and reach for his wand, which was on the floor just a few feet away from him.

He picked it up and very slowly raised his wand to point at his mother. Through dry, cracked lips he croaked "Avada Kedavra."

A green light flashed from the room and momentarily blinded them. Once their vision had returned to normal Capp's body was on the floor. Stiff, unmoving, dead. Michael, too, was on the floor, but only unconscious. The force of the spell had taken the last of his energy out of him.

With a crack the back of Harry's chair broke as he pushed it forcefully against the wall and he was able to stand up. He hands were still tied but her was able to move. He went over to where Ron was tied and with a lot of effort he was able to untie him.

Five minutes later the three boys were all untied and able to move about. Draco was still weak and was being supported between Harry and Ron.

"Harry, you take Malfoy. I'll untie Hermione and get Michael out of here." Ron said as he started to walk towards where Hermione was tied.

"NO!" She shouted. You mustn't cross the line! If you do you could be killed too!"

"Hermione, we must get out of here!" Ron protested.

"No Ron, you must get out of here. Even if I get out I've still got this spell upon me I'm dead anyway. Just go ok? I want you to be safe."

"Hermione I love you." Ron whispered as tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I love you too Ron. Now GO!" She shouted as she felt the pressure inside her grown even stronger. Her eyes and hair were now completely black and every vein in her body could be seen. The room started to shake at the force of the magic inside of her. "The room's going to collapse! Get out now!" Hermione shouted.

"No! I'm not going to leave you to die!" Harry shouted and ran towards

Hermione, Ron and Draco quick on tail. Harry and Ron both pulled out their wands to try to unbind the magical bonds that held her. They both sent spells at the ropes but each time a spell got close to where Hermione was tied a clear wall would appear around her and the spell would just bounce back, not reaching her.

"What are we going to do?" Ron asked.

"I can't hold on much longer!" Hermione called over the rumbling of the walls that were still shaking.

"Wait, the spell wasn't cast on Hermione it was cast around her. If we get close enough then we can untie her." Harry said "But if we are inside the wall when the magic blows then we'll be killed too."

"I don't care as long as I can help Hermione." Ron said through gritted teeth as he crossed the room to get to her.

"Ron no! Just leave me. I really can't hold on anymore. Go!" Hermione protested as he was untying her.

"Just one more minute Mione! Just hold on please. I love you way too much for you to die now."

Finally the ropes were untied and Ron and Hermione were able to cross the magical line that was around them.

"Come on, we need to get out!" Harry shouted. "Malfoy come on!"

They all turned to find Malfoy was carrying Michael to where they were stood. He was taking an agonisingly long time to get to them as he was in so much pain.

"Guys, it's too late I can't hold it in anymore just go!" Hermione urged as she pushed then towards the door.

Harry ran over and took Michael out of Draco's arms and pulled them towards the door where Ron was stood yanking it with all his might. But to no avail. It would not open.

"We're stuck. How do we get out now?" Ron yelled.

"Oh God!" Hermione moaned as she felt the magic push its way out of her "Everyone get down on the floor."

Blackness erupted out of her and filled the room with a deafening screech. The furniture in the room was smashed against the walls and smashed up into tiny pieces. The room was shaking even more and plaster started to crumble from the ceiling. Ron had gotten to his knees and was trying the door again.

The black and the noise finally died down and they were able to get up from the floor. With force from Harry and Ron they were able to open the door. Hermione stumbled out closely followed by Ron and Harry who was carrying Michael. Draco was close behind them but a chunk of the ceiling fell in and clipped him on his back.

They watched in horror as their friend was buried under a pile of rubble and stone.

"Draco!" Hermione screamed as the rocks covered him.

Footsteps sounded along the corridor and Dumbledore, Fudge and many other teachers joined them along with Leo and James.

"Dad!" James shouted and ran into his father's arms.

"W-Where's my dad?" Leo asked looking at the wreak.

No one answered but everyone looked at the rubble.

"Professor Longbottom please go and get some seventh years and all the Hospital Staff. Professor Stone please go and contact St Mungo's hospital and say that we will be sending them five patents very soon."

The two Professors rushed off and Dumbledore sent all the other teachers and students that had gathered around to see what was happening, away.

Harry and Ron were already digging through the rubble in order to find Draco, but making slow progress as they were in such pain. Hermione was sat with Michael who still hadn't woken up.

Ten seventh year students hurried down the corridor following Neville and the hospital staff. Harry and Ron stepped back and allowed them to take over while they were taken, along with Hermione and Michael to St Mungo's.
