"Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul should keep if I should...die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul shall take." Hermione prayed silently over, and over till she saw a crack of sunlight shine through. She was also silently praying that someone would come soon because she was sure Voldemort was just keeping her alive till he knew whether or not Harry was coming for, and then he'd probably decide her fate.


Harry, Blaise, and Draco were under Harry invisiblity cloak running through the forrest so they could call for the knight bus to get them to Malfoy Manor. Draco had a plan to pretend he was ready to be marked, find out where the hideout was, make sure Hermione was okay and then attack as best they could.They reached the end of the forrest, and almost collided with Dumbledore.

"We knew you'd eventually try to save Miss Granger on your own." Dumbledore said pulling the cloak off the boys.

"We have to save her."Draco said.

"Yes Mr Malfoy we do.Getting yourselves captured, and maybe killed isn't the best way to go about it though.

"Can we at least help?" Harry pleaded.

Dumbledore nodded. "Some of the order is on it's way here so we can all portkey together. Snape knows where they're hiding out, and we will get Miss Granger out together.The boys nodded in agreement.


Ron dragged Hermione out of her cell, and down a long hallway. He threw her through a large door, and when she landed she looked up at Voldemort and then heard the voices of many death eaters.

"Thank you for gracing us with your presence."Voldemort hissed.The Death Eaters laughed, as Hermione stood up.

"It's seems that Potter will not be coming in on his white horse to rescue you." Lucius said.

"Good, maybe this time he'll kill your pathetic excuse for a lord!"

Lucius backhanded her so hard she fell backwards."How dare you speak with such dissrespect Mudblood!"

"I'm the bad blood, and yet you follow a half blood so what does that make you! If I'm gonna die at least I'll die with pride. You'll die being nothing but a lap dog to a Purblood wannabe who has no real strength, and has you all do his dirty work for him! I have a clear consious, what do you have?"

"Less people like you."Lucius spat raising his wand, and pointing it to her "Crucio!"

Hermione screamed out in pain and writhered on the ground.Death Eaters kicked her while she was down, and hit her with odd curses when they could.


Everyone stood in the hall as they heard Hermione put down Voldemort, and his followers.They heard Lucius shout Crucio, and then Dumbledore busted down the door.

Lucius turned as did everyone else which lifted the curse from Hermione.

"Ah The great Dumbledore, and his followers for the good side."Voldemort said.All the death eaters stood behind Voldemort ready to attack when givin the command.Draco ran over to Hermione's limp form, and craddled her in his arms.He checked ofr a pulse and breathed a sigh of relief when he found one, and then she opened her eyes.

"Harry?"She said in a whisper.

"No just your knight in shinning armour wannabe."

"Draco?"

"Yeah what can I say I love saving a girl in need."

Lucius grabbed his son, and pulled him from her. "You call yourself a Malfoy?"

"Not by choice."Draco spat raising his wand.

"You will kill the Mudblood if you wish to get in my good graces again."

"I WILL NOT! Sorry Father but I love her, and the only one whose gonna die is you."

"Why you little..."Lucius went to attack but Harry caught him with a curse, and the fight started.

"Harry you, Blaise, and Draco get Hermione out of here, and find someplace outside safe till we get there.Dumbledore said, harry nodded, and picked Hermione off the floor, and ran towards the doors.

"This is not over Dumbledore."Voldemort said before dissapperateing away along with his death eaters.

Harry sat down with Hermione on the ground.She looked into his eyes to see tears, and then she noticed all the boys had tears.

"Took you long enough." Hermione said with a small smile.

Harry hugged her "I don't know what I would've done if I lost you."

"Fail misserably."

Harry laughed, and then wipped his eyes. "I love you Hermione, you are the closed thing to family that I have now. I'm not gonna lose that."

Hermione nodded, and then looked at Draco "So how is my knight?"

"Glad your okay."

"Thank you."

Draco smiled "No problem."

"Did you mean what you said? I mean what you told your father."

"Yes. I do mean it."

Hermione smiled "Good."And then she passed out.
