Chapter 11

Malfoy Manor, 12:00 pm

Draco

Draco shoved and pushed at the door but it would not budge. He didn't have his wand and his father seemed to have put some lock charm on the door. I nee to get to Hermione, he thought and looked around the room for something to push open the door with.

Hermione

Hermione looked at her surroundings. It looked like she was in some sort of dungeon but she didn't know why. There was some sort of spell binding her arms and legs together and holding her to the wall. She took a deep breath, told herself not to panic and tried to collect her thoughts. The man that had put her here at called her miss Granger and she didn't know why. Draco had told her that her name was Daniel Weasly and he wouldn't lie to her. He cared about her. At least it seemed like he did, but she had only met him a few days ago and she couldn't remember a thing before that. He could have been tricking her; he could be dangerous for all she knew. No! she thought, He wouldn't have helped me if he didn't care about me. Besides he jumped in front of that curse so I wouldn't get hurt. She sighed and hoped he was okay and tried to figure out what she was going to do.

Lucius

Mundungus,

It may be best that you come back as soon as possible. I have the money and I'll be expecting you this afternoon.

-Lucius Malfoy.

Mercer, 12:00 pm

"Thank you," Ginny said to Mrs. Granger as they left her house, "I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything." She and Luna walked back to the Lovegood residence to discuss what to do next. "Well," said Ginny, "we know she was on her why to Grimmauld place so what would be the fastest way there on foot?"

Luan shrugged, "I have no idea where Grimmauld place is. I've never been there remember?"

"Oh right. Well do you have any maps?" she asked. Luna got her some maps and it took her about five minutes to find the best root to Grimmauld Place. "It would be here on this pack road all the way around the woods." Ginny traced the root over the map.

"Well let's go, see if we can find some evidence." suggested Luna.

Ginny nodded, "But I think it would be safer if we had some reinforcements with us."

# 12 Grimmauld Place, 12:15 pm

"Have you seen Ginny?" Molly asked Remus and Sirius who shook their heads, "Oh, I'm worried she went after the boys, she wants so much to be a help to the order!"

"Has anyone checked Mercer?" asked Sirius.

"No." answered Molly and Remus at the same time.

"Ginny may have gone there, she asked this morning if anyone has checked there yet."

"Your right!" cried Mrs. Weasly, "We should go there!"

Remus shook his head, "Dumbledore told us to stay here and wait for further instruction. I'm sure she's alright."

Mercer, "1:00 pm

Ginny walked along the street in silence every once in a while she glanced over her shoulder at the line of people following her. She was surprised at how many D.A. members had come in just an hours notice. Following close behind her was Neville Longbottom, who was extremely afraid of what his grandmother would do when she found out where he was instead of with his uncle. Dean Thomas, who had decided his muggle did not need to know much of what went on in the wizard world so he told them he was visiting a friend. Lavender Brown and Parvati and Padma Patil, who had convinced their parents into letting them spend the day at Diagon Alley alone but took a detour on the way. Cho Chang, who had came home from Paris early and told her parents that she was spending the night at a sleepover. Luna was also with them. Finally Ginny stopped and turned to the others. She knew that she couldn't just take this road all the way to Grimmauld place because they knew that's not where Hermione ended up.

"Okay, pair up," she ordered, "we're going to search the woods for clues.

"What exactly are we looking for?" asked Lavender.

"Well, anything that might have anything to do with Hermione," answered Ginny. So they went into the woods and it wasn't long before Ginny heard Cho call for her.

"Look!" cried Cho, "I think this is her trunk." And sure enough the engraved letters on the side of the trunk read H.G. On the side of the trunk lay Hermione's wand.

"She must have been taken by surprise, she doesn't even have her wand," said Lavender.

"Hey look," called Neville, "I can see a house." The others joined him crouched down in the trees so not to be seen. From where they were they could see part of the back of the house and part of the front. Before anyone could say anything a man appeared at the foot of the hill leading up to the house.

"Mundungus?" cried Ginny.

"Who?" asked everyone else in unison.

"Uh….." the others weren't supposed to know about the order, "never mind. Wait here." Ginny moved carefully through the trees down the hill until she was even with Mundungus. "Hey!" she called out just loud enough for him to hear. He spun around and pulled out his wand. Ginny stepped out of the trees and said, "It's just me, Ginny."

He sighed, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Hermione," she replied, "We found her trunk and wand back there."

He looked at the house, "Well, if 'er stuff is back there she's probably in there," he looked back at her, "Did you say we? Who else is with ya?"

"That's not important! Whose house is that and what are you doing here?"

"That is Malfoy Manor and I am here on business from Dumbledore. Trying to find out where Mad-eye and your dad are, and the girl for that matter. You wait here till I git back." Ginny watched him turn and head for the house. The minute he disappeared inside she signaled to the others to join her.

"I'm going to go up there and see inside. You stay down here and keep a look out.

Malfoy Manor, 1:15 pm

Draco was sitting on the floor, staring at the door, wondering what to do when the door creaked open and Maury stuck his head in. "Master?" he said timidly.

Draco jumped and ran to the door, "Maury! Thank God! I need to get out of here and find help!"

"Go by the window master, your father and the other death eaters are down stairs."

Outside of Malfoy Manor, same time

When Ginny reached the window she saw Lucius Malfoy met Mundungus at the door and shook his hand. As they walked away a nearby closet door opened and a hooded figure stepped out with his wand out stretched. Ginny watched in horror as a red spell shot out of the wand and hit Mundungus in the back, stunning him. She gasped and hurried back to the others.

Dungeons of Malfoy Manor, same time

Hermione was beginning to panic now. There had been no sign of anyone since she had been put down there. She was starting to think that Draco didn't care that much about her when the door opened. She became excited, hoping it was someone to help her but her heart dropped when Lucius appeared. He didn't take any notice of her and just said to the two men following him, "Put him over there," That's when Hermione saw that men were carrying a body that she was almost sure was dead. When they through the body in the corner Mr. Malfoy said, "Bind him and revive him." One of the men mumbled something and the body's legs and arms snapped together just as Hermione's had. The other ma said something else and the body, which turned out to be alive, moaned and rolled over.

Lucius leaned down towards the man, "Well Mr. Fletcher, we decided we would do thing our way. Now, I have something to take care of and then I'll be back for that information I needed." He and the other men then left.

Unsure of what to do Hermione asked shyly, "Um…..Sir? Are you O.K.?"

The man looked up in surprise and squinted at her, "'ermione?"

Hermione, still thinking her name was Danielle asked, "What?"

"It's me Mundungus Fletcher. I'm in the order."

"I'm sorry," whispered Hermione, "I don't remember. I lost my memory."

In the woods, 1:30 pm

Ginny and the others were trying to figure out what to do next when they heard a voice behind them, "Weasly?" She spun around with her wand and saw Draco Malfoy staring at them in confusion.

"Malfoy!" she snarled, "Where's Hermione?"

"Put down your wand Weasly, if you want to rescue Hermione you'll need my help." Draco insisted, "She lost her memory a few days ago so she won't recognize any of you but she trusts me."

"Why in the world would she trust you?" Parvati asked.

"I've been helping her and keeping her hidden from my father," he explained, "I was going to send a letter to Dumbledore and get her out of their but he found her."

Ginny lowered her wand, "Alright let's talk."

"Not here, it's not safe to close to the house; my father will notice im gone soon." So they went down to the village to find a safe place to talk. Luckily they had all worn muggle clothing so they did not stand out too much.
