Revenge…

I slowly turned around and faced a hooded figure. A wand was pointed at me and Draco.

"I knew you would show up sooner or later, Mrs. Malfoy." she said with a hiss.

She lit the candles around the perimeter of the room with her wand, and lowered her hood. Red curls spilled from the hood as she shook them out. Her fierce eyes glared at the two of us.

"Tamwyn?" I asked. "What in the name of Merlin do you think you are doing?"

"Shut up you little snotty bitch! You interrupted our little fun, right Draco?" He looked like he was going to vomit blood again. "I have to admit that I am jealous of you Hermione, I saw what he has under those silk boxers." she licked her lips seductively. I saw Draco wince a little.

"You are sick, he is my husband!" I spat at her. "You had Blaise, why would you want my husband?"

"I don't want your husband you bitch, he makes me nauseous! I was just toying with him." she glanced at him again.

"Then what is this about? You are a high ranking ministry official! You will go to Azkaban for this." I screamed at her.

"You think so do you? Well, you all will not be here to tell anyone the tale. I will go back to work and no one will be the wiser. And when they find you, well, if they find you, they will not even blink an eye at me." she laughed shrilly.

"Why did you do this then? I thought we were friends." I was near sobbing. I didn't want to show weakness, but I couldn't help crying over the thought of Draco and me dying here this night, and her going free.

"One word, Hermione, REVENGE." her wand still pointing at us.

"Revenge for what? Being your friend, hooking you up with a great guy? I don't understand." I was stalling; hoping Harry and the others would wake up and realize I was gone.

"FOR MY FAMILY! ALL OF THEM. HIS FATHER HAD THEM KILLED!" she screamed so loud it echoed repeatedly through the dank cellar.

"What?" I asked, realizing what she said just a second too late.

"HIS FUCKING DEATH EATER FATHER HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY KILLED WHEN I WAS AWAY AT SCHOOL IN THE STATES! I received an owl to come home, and there it was, the dark mark hanging over my house. My older brother and sister had hidden in the cellar, while my parents tried to fend them off. They were unsuccessful. Lucius Malfoy killed them, and then searched for my siblings. When he found them, my older brother tried to save my sister, but it was too late. They both died at his father's hands, and now the two of you will die at mine." she was out of breath from screaming.

"Why?" I asked her.

"Because my father wouldn't help them kill Harry Potter. He was set to examine Harry for his O.W.L.s, and Lucius thought it would be the perfect opportunity to kill Harry. Not in his exams of course, that would be too obvious, but while he was stationed in the school. My father refused. They tried to put him in the Imperius curse, but specializing in DADA he fought it. They tried blackmail, it didn't work either. Finally they thought he knew too much about their plans. They followed him home from work one night, and killed them all." she was half yelling, half sobbing at this point.

"HIS FUCKING FATHER!" she screamed pointing at Draco again with a very wild look in her eyes. Like she had just snapped.

"He is the spitting image of his father, a DEATH EATER!" she yelled again.

"No, Tamwyn calm down, we can talk this through." I said calmly approaching her. "We can work this all out. Let us go and we will leave and forget this all happened, isn't that right Draco?" he nodded furiously.

"It's too late." she said, "I need to do this."

Out of the corner of my eye I spied 3 shadows coming down the cellar stairs. Harry put his finger to his lips signaling us to be quiet. Tamwyn's back was to the stairs. I continued talking to give them more time to form a plan.

"It's never too late." I said soothingly. "Everyone can change and move on. Draco is not his father; he is capable of love and emotion. He despised the dark arts. Look at him." I pointed to my husband. "Look what you have done? You don't want to be like this. You would be no better than his father if you continue. Please, we can help you. You can recover from this, get beyond it. You should never forget what happened. But it need not rule your life. Practically everyone I know suffered losses at the hands of Voldemort and his supporters. Those days, thank Merlin, are gone. Don't let yourself be another victim of Voldemort. Because if you do this, if you hurt us, you will be giving him what he loved most. Hate and murder." I was a foot or two from her. Without warning she raised her wand towards me. All I heard was a swoosh and two or three curses went flying at her.

"Expelliarmus!" Harry had shouted. Her wand went flying.

"Stupefy!" Ron yelled.

"Immobilus" Blaise said as the jet hit her and she crumpled to the floor.

Harry ran over to me to make sure I was all right, and Blaise ran to Draco.

"You could have been killed Hermione!" Harry said in a scolding tone.

"I couldn't wait until morning!" I said guiltily.

Harry hugged me, followed by Ron. Blaise unbound Draco and he helped him to his feet. He limped slowly over to me and put his arms around me.

"I thought I would never see you again." tears fell down his dirty cheeks. His arms and legs looked swollen, and there was a gash on his cheek.

"I was so worried, I thought you were dead. I missed you so much." I kissed him again. Blaise looked at Tamwyn who was fully immobilized on the floor. He shook his head.

"Can't understand this mate."

"Draco's father killed her family. She wanted revenge." I said flatly. Draco leaned on my shoulder for support.

"I am glad the three of you noticed I was gone." I said sheepishly.

"Harry woke us up" Ron said. "He said he thought you went over here looking for Draco. We ran over as fast as we could."

"You still shouldn't have risked it Hermione" Harry said in a very scolding manner. "You both could have died." Harry pointed his wand at Tamwyn and invisible ropes bound her, and she floated about 2 feet from the floor.

"Can you manage?" he asked Draco, who was limping slightly.

"I can" he said grinning at me.

Harry floated Tamwyn up the cellar stairs and we followed. I helped him with the steps. When we were at the top, I held him as we apperated back to the ministry. Aurors flocked around Harry and were stunned to find one of the ministry's own was behind this kidnapping plot. Minutes later, a very ruffled looking Rufus Scrimgeour popped out of thin air.

"Harry, it's not true it is?" he looked alarmed. "An Unspeakable? Accused of kidnapping a ministry official?"

"I am afraid so sir. We were following up on a tip, and Hermione stumbled across the cellar where Mr. Malfoy was being kept. She went to check and Tamwyn here cornered them and to make a long story short, attempted to kill them. Ron, Blaise and I got to them in time to prevent that."

"Well thank Merlin for that. I expect a full report on my desk next week. In the meantime, the Azkaban guards are coming for her now." Two hooded men showed up and floated Tamwyn away.

"We are taking you to St. Mungo's to be checked out." I told Draco.

"I am fine, really." he said like a little boy.

"You have some broken ribs and an infection on that cut of yours, let's go." I threw some floo powder in and said. "St. Mungo's." and colors whirling we left the ministry behind.
