They arrived at Bill's office to find most of the Weaslys along with several people Harry assumed were all Aurors. A few of these he recognized but there were several unfamiliar faces as well. Bill stood up from behind his desk, as they entered, "We don't have a lot of time so I'll explain quickly what we know."
Harry and Ron joinded Hermione and Lori near the front of the group. He noticed several wizards standing behind Lori that he did not recognize. Bill looked at everyone in the group and started again, "We have reason to believe that Jason is being held at the old Malfoy Manor. Apparently, some Death Eaters saw Harry and Jason at St. Mungo's the first day they were back."
"What are we waiting for, let's go get him," Harry cried.
"Harry, we need to be careful to insure Jason is not injured. Now, we think they took Jason to lure you to them, Harry. We don't think they would have hurt him yet because that would get rid of any leverage they have." He stopped and stared at Harry. "Harry, we are going to have to use you as bait, are you up to it?" At Harry's silent nod, he continued, "I think it would be best if we split into two groups. One to provide backup to Harry and one to find Jason."
"Tonks, can you lead the backup team? You and Harry have a lot of experience fighting together so I think that will help."
Tonks nodded, "Of course, who will be with me?"
"Why don't you take Fred, Charlie, Hermione, and the Aurors. Ron, can you lead a team to find Jason?"
"Absolutely," he replied.
"Good, take Lori and her brothers with you. Tonks, your group will need to leave first and the other group will be right behind you. Harry, let them think you are alone first and we can use the element of surprise. Use invisibility cloaks for everyone."
Tonks summoned invisibiltiy cloaks and handed them to everyone leaving with her except Harry. They said farewell to everyone else and quickly apparated.
Harry stared up at the dilapadated house in front of him. He could tell that at one time it had been majestic but had fallen into desrepair. Several windows were boarded up and paint had long since peeled off of many sections.
He knew others were with him but they had all slipped their cloaks on and were silent.
"Harry," he heard Tonks whisper from his right. "Hermione, Fred, Charlie, and I will enter in the front with you. The others will use various entrances. You ready?"
"Yes," he answered. He walked to the front door with a determination in his steps. With a deep breath, he pulled the front door open. Cobwebs hit him in the face when he stepped through the door. It was so dark he could only see a short ways in front of him. He pulled his wand from his pocket, "Lumos," he uttered.
A dim light was shining under a door at the end of the room. He made his way to this door and slowly turned the doorknob. When he stepped into the room, he glared at the man standing in the center of the room.
"Potter," the blonde man sneered.
"Where's my son, Malfoy," Harry asked with disdain in his voice. He pointed his wand at Malfoy's chest.
"Is that anyway to greet an old acquaintance? Where are your manners, Potter?"
Harry stepped toward Malfoy with hate filling his eyes. "Tell me where Jason is! You'd better not hurt him!"
"I don't appreciate your tone."
Fear and hate flowed through Harry's veins. He wanted nothing more than to curse Malfoy into oblivian but he knew he could not until he knew Jason was safe.
Malfoy whipped his wand out of his robes, "I have been waiting a long time to do this. Cruc—"
Before he could finish, Harry heard a voice behind him cry, "Expelliarmus!"
The wand flew out of Malfoy's hand and Tonks caught it as she shed her cloak. "You didn't think we would let Harry have all the fun by himself. Did you?"
Malfoy's eyes widened at the sight of the people appearing behind Harry. Suddenly, a scream was heard from outside the room, "No!"
"Lori!", Harry hollered and raced from the room with Fred close on his heels. When the reached the hallway, they followed the screams down the hall. As they reached the end of the hall, the screams stopped. The abrupt silence caused Harry's heart to race even faster. They skidded around the corner and at the end of the hall found one of Lori's brothers cradling her still body. He looked up when Harry and Fred reached them.
"Ryan, what happened?" Fred inquired with his fear evident in his eyes and his voice.
"We found Jason and were leaving when a group of Death Eaters saw us. We ran for the door but they caught us. They started throwing curses our way and Jason was almost hit by a Cruciatus Curse but Lori shielded him with her body. Ron took Jason and escaped. The Death Eater kept cursing her and we could not get past the others to stop her," he looked down at his sister's unmoving form with tears forming in his steel gray eyes. "Then they suddenly left. It was almost as if someone signaled them to leave. Alan, Erik, and Lance followed them but I couldn't leave her. We have to get her help, she still has a pulse, but barely."
"Fred, take them to St. Mungo's. I'm going to check on everyone else and hopefully get out of here," Harry instructed.
Harry headed back to where he had left the others. He entered the room and found the floor littered with bound Death Eaters. Stepping over several, he entered the room and looked around to insure his family and the Aurors were okay. He breathed a sigh of relief when saw they were all fine. They were gathered in the center of the room, many with wands still aimed at Death Eaters.
Hermione noticed him enter the room and made her way to him. "Harry, what happened? Is Lori and everyone okay? Did you see Ron, is he alright?"
"Ron took Jason and escaped. Fred and Ryan took Lori to St. Mungo's. I don't know if she's going to be okay. I'm not sure where everyone else is."
"Her other brothers followed some Death Eaters in here and helped us fight them. But Harry, Malfoy escaped."
"I'll find him again. Don't worry, he will pay for this."
