A/n: Ok now that The Love of the Heads is finished I can concentrate more on this. I hope you will continue to read and review despite the lack of updates recently. I will try my hardest to get out as many updates as possible. Although I am not too sure how long this one will be.

Chapter 10

Draco looked up to see Fawkes flying towards him. Fawkes landed on Draco's desk and dropped the letter that he had been holding in his beak. Draco gave the phoenix a smile and opened the letter.

Dear Draco,

I know that you are planning to leave to France and save Hermione. You are probably even packing as you receive this. However I ask you not to go just yet. I have an idea that will help you get to Hermione, save her and eliminate Lord Voldemort all in one go. I hope that you will at least hear what I have to say. As soon as you receive this, and choose to listen to me. Get Harry Potter and come to my office.

Albus Dumbledore.

Draco looked up from the letter smiling. Hermione would be safe and the war would be over. Of course he would listen to Dumbledore. He immediately went looking for Harry.

It took ten minutes to find Harry. Draco found him in the Library looking up some sort of spells. Draco told Harry about the letter and then the two went to talk to Dumbledore.

However as they reached the gargoyles that stand guard of the Headmaster's office, neither knew the password. As usual they both started blurting out various sweets; however the gargoyles rolled their eyes.

"You are allowed entrance without a password; it is the headmasters wish that you enter his office."

The gargoyles moved and they jumped onto the revolving stairs. As they opened the door they saw Dumbledore sitting behind his desk with a book open. As soon as they had walked in Dumbledore had looked up.

"Well I am glad you decided to listen to me. Take a seat I will explain everything."

Hermione had been asking the house elves questions every time that they came into the room. The house elves seemed very co operative and answered her question, giving Hermione little subtle hints that no one else would have picked up.

So far she has found out that she is somewhere in France, the house is quite small and the people holding her captive are constantly waiting for someone and keep arguing.

She knew that they were waiting for Draco she just hoped that if he did come to find her, that he would have a plan.

As usual, she sat there, thinking about Draco, her dad, Lucius and Voldemort. There wasn't much else to think about, other than the fact that she was missing school. She would have to do a lot of catching up if she got back. If, that sparked worry in her, what if she wasn't going to go back? What if she wasn't saved, what if Draco had moved on? She immediately started to cry, for the first time since she had been kidnapped she thought about the things that could go wrong.

"It's been over a week, he isn't going to come. I say we just storm the school and take him from there ourselves." Hermione's father was sitting near a fire place in some old study.

"I know my son, he has changed. He would do anything for the mudblood… he loves her. He will do anything to save her. He must know about his powers by now, Dumbledore would have told him. It is only a matter of time. We just have to wait." Lucius replied calmly.

"I hope you are right, because if you aren't, then all of this would be for nothing. Kidnapping Hermione would have been for nothing, we could have used another plan, another direction of attack. I just hope that our only chance hasn't been wasted. She knows what I am now; there would be no recovery from that.

"I am right, and do not doubt our plan. He will be here, maybe not unprepared and maybe not alone, but he will be here, and like I have already said. It's just a matter of time."

Lucius walked out of the study and towards Hermione's room. Death Eaters were watching her every move in shifts. It was Nott's turn.

"What has happened?" Lucius asked as he walked up to the monitor that Hermione's father had suggested they use to watch her.

"Nothing much, the house elves have been giving her food. She's eating it and she either sleeps or just sits on the bed in the corner, quietly thinking to herself. I would say she is slowly going mad, thinking of what could happen to her, or worse Draco. She has been muttering in her sleep though. Something about France, I think she knows where we are." Nott replied.

"That would not surprise me. She is after all a smart witch, she would come in useful. Once Draco has been captured we may have to find out just how much she knows." Lucius gave an evil laugh and walked away. Nott just shook his head and laughed a little.

Draco and Harry were walking out of Dumbledore's office. "This might just work. Do you think he is up to it? The spell I mean?"

Harry nodded "Of course. Have you ever seen him when he is angry, and I mean angry, livid?"

Draco shook his head.

"I have, it was so scary, he didn't have the twinkle in his eyes, he didn't have is amused expression, he was pure anger. It radiated from him in waves, everyone around him immediately cowers. That's why Voldemort is scared of him; he is a lot more powerful than he lets on. I know he can do this, I just hope we can pull it off."

Both boys walked towards their dorms, getting ready for what was to happen that night. It would take a lot of concentration, power and motivation. All of which neither were lacking.

Tonight would be the test of their lives, if they could get through this. They could get through anything.

A/N: I know it's kind of short but I have got hand cramps. I will do replies next chapter.
