Chapter 12

Well I guess I can go back to working on this story. I got a perfect idea anyways.

"Have I ever mentioned how much I hate this false labor shit?" Leah said. "And shouldn't they be happening in like the 8th month, not 7th?"

"I don't know…ask Molly." Sabrina said.

"Normally they don't." Molly said.

"Then what the hell?" Leah said, looking at her stomach. "Someone give me one of those watches so I can go for a walk."

"Why not just bring someone with you?" Sabrina said.

"I don't want someone going with me." Leah said, taking the watch off her mother's wrist and setting the alarm. "I'll be back." She left quickly before anyone could say anything. Once outside and far enough away from the house that she was out of sight, she looked at the watch and turned the alarm off. "I can take care of myself." The baby kicked her. "Ow! Quit it!" She frowned at her stomach as she walked around. She lost track of time as she wandered around, thinking. Seven and a half months along now with a child that wouldn't stop kicking her and found that kicking mommy in the ribs was the best thing in the world…and Leah was still only nineteen.

"And here was me thinking we'd never find you." Leah froze as the familiar voice of none other then Lucius Malfoy came from behind her. "Oh…and look at what you've gone and done."

"What do you want?" Leah asked.

"It's not what I want…it's what the Dark Lord wants." Lucius said, stepping towards her. "And what the Dark Lord wants…is you." Leah spun around as she heard a pop behind her but before she could see anyone, she was knocked unconscious.

Draco felt it instantly. Heard Leah's scared thoughts then nothing. He dropped the box he had and leaned against the wall, clutching his stomach.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked. "You look like you did when…where's Leah?"

"I don't know." Draco said. Leah? Leah…come on answer! "She's conscious…I know that much." Sabrina and Molly came running over. "Where's Leah?"

"She…she went out." Sabrina said. "She left faster then any of us could follow her."

"When?" Draco asked.

"Well…" Molly said.

"An hour ago." Sabrina said.

"WHAT!" Draco said, straightening even though he was in pain.

"Relax! Voldemort's….for god's sake Molly!" Sabrina said, pinching her friend. "You're the only one that still has a probably with that name." She shook her head. "Anyways…he's not gonna kill her. And hopefully that spell worked."

"What spell?" Harry asked.

"Lil, Sirius, James, Dumbledore and I all did a spell so that if Voldemort asks Lean, hopefully, she won't hear anything." Sabrina said. "We don't know if it'll work."

"It better!" Harry said.

"We have to go after her." Draco said.

"NO!" Sabrina said. "You and Harry can't go anywhere! Both of you would get killed right away."

"But we have to save Lean though!" Harry said. "What about the baby?" Draco suddenly groaned and fell. Everyone gathered around him. "You ok?"

"I don't know." Draco said. "Something's going on."

"Wait…what does it feel like?" Sabrina asked.

"Like…something's being pushed inside me." Draco said.

"Oh my!" Molly said.

"What?" Draco and Harry asked.

"How bad is it?" Sabrina asked.

"Really…bad." Draco said.

"Oh…this isn't good." Sabrina said.

"What?" Both guys asked again.

"Umm…I'm not really sure but…umm…I think Leah's gone into labor…for real." Sabrina said. Draco's eyes went wide.

"That's what Voldemort was talking about." Harry said, looking at Draco. "Remember I told you and Ron about the vision dream thing."

"He never wanted Leah. At least not much." Draco muttered.

"He wants the baby." Harry said.

"Why would he want it?" Molly asked.

"It's been dead." Draco said. "And come back…for real. Not like Sabrina, Sirius, Lily and James. That's gotta give it something special right?"

"He can hold a lot over us if he has the baby." Harry said.

"Make it become one of them more then likely." Draco said.

"Ok we missed our chance to plan." Harry said. "Well…plan much. We have a basic idea right?"

"Yeah." Sabrina said.

"Good…get my parents and Sirius." Harry said. He looked at Draco. "We'll get Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Mrs. Weasley, get everyone else." They all went off.

Lean groaned and held onto her stomach, as if trying to keep the baby inside of her. Narcissa approached her but Leah moved away.

"Don't move too much." Narcissa said. "You'll need all your energy. I want a healthy grandchild."

"You're not going to take her!" Leah said. She bit her lip to stop from making another noise as a jolt of pain shot down her spine. Although she was on a rather comfy bed, Leah felt far from being it.

"The only way you'd be in more pain…would be if Wormtail was still alive." Narcissa said, placing a wet cloth on Leah's forehead. The young girl froze and stared at her. "That's right, princess. The Dark Lord killed him. It surprised all of us when you didn't show to save him."

"I have friends in high places." Leah said, trying to control her breathing.

"Hush now." Narcissa said. "Save your energy." Leah growled and Narcissa was thrown backwards into a wall. Leah's necklace was shining brightly and a giant bubble surrounded her and the bed. Narcissa looked afraid as she slowly stood.

"Ok…looks like that little thing is back." Leah said. The bubble slowly faded and her necklace stopped glowing. The door to the room opened and in walked Voldemort. He glanced at Narcissa Leah sat, propped up on one hand with the other one still on her stomach, and refused to make any noises.

"Not much longer now." Voldemort asked. He stood over Leah who, no matter how hard she tried, still looked up at him fearfully. "Do you think I want her dead again?"

"What?" Leah asked.

"I know this is the same baby I killed two years ago." Voldemort said. "Do you really think something that has been to the grave and back will be useless?"

"You'll have to kill me to get her." Leah said.

"That can be arranged." Voldemort said. "After all…I only need one of you to make the rest of them bend." He ran a cold hand down the side of Leah's face. "Now…what was it that Wormtail said to you? Oh yes…" His mouth moved but Leah didn't hear anything. She looked confused.

"What?" Leah asked. Voldemort's mouth moved again. Leah knew what he was saying but nothing was happening. "No glow."

"What?" Voldemort said, sounding outraged.

"Thank Merlin for Dumbledore." Leah muttered. A groan escaped as another jolt of pain came.

"Not much longer." Voldemort said, glaring at Leah. He turned his attention to Narcissa. "Stay here and keep an eye on her. You will be of no use when they show up to get her back." Narcissa watched him leave.

"That…was harsh." Leah said, suddenly getting an idea. "I think he doesn't think you're capable of beating your son." Narcissa looked at her. Leah held her gaze.

"How is he?" Narcissa asked, suddenly softening. Leah looked shocked at how motherly she seemed. "Is he alright?"

"He's probably feeling my pain." Leah said. "He seems to feel that a lot recently. Ever since the last time I was here."

"How could he be so stupid?" Narcissa muttered.

"I don't think he could have helped it." Leah said. "I mean…you can't help who you fall in love with can you? You can't control that." They were silent, neither looking at the other. The only noise was Leah's occasional grunt or groan as she tried to keep the baby from coming.

"Ok so…what's the plan again?" Ginny asked. "Just so I'm clear."

"You, Hermione, Tonks, Fred and George follow me." Lily said. "We have to get to Leah before that baby is born."

"The rest of us fight." Harry said.

"Try to keep them away from you guys." Draco said. He stopped walking and held out his arm to catch Harry in the chest. They were leading. Draco turned around and looked at everyone. All together there was Him, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George, Sabrina, Sirius, Lily, James, Remus, Tonks, Bill, Charlie, Kingsley, McGonagall and Dumbledore. Molly, Arthur and Fleur stayed back to take care of Rose and Anna and be ready to help everyone when they got back.

"Don't even bother saying it." Ginny said. "We're going all the way with you."

"Right then." Draco said. He reached into the pocket of his cloak. "Gin, Mione, Ron…you three come here." The three came over. Draco gave each of them and Harry a bottle. "A while ago, Leah made that healing potion in class and bottled it. These are some of what she had. Only use it when you need it. Mione, Gin…I think, if possible, save those until you get to Leah. She might need them."

"Got it." The girls said.

"Mr. Malfoy." McGonagall said. "We are all ready when you are."

"And the more time we wait, the less chance we have of getting to Leah before the baby is born." Charlie said.

"Let's go." Harry said. Draco nodded and turned around. They got to the door. "Mione…you ready?"

"Got it covered." Hermione said, pulling out her wand. Draco pushed open the door and they all went in slowly. Hermione, Ginny, Fred, George and Lily all stayed close, ready to go off as soon as they were able.

"They're here." Voldemort said, entering the room again. Leah didn't know if she should sigh in relief or be more worried then she already was. She was two months early…this shouldn't be happening. Too much stress all at once was not a good thing. She settled on letting small noises of pain escape through her tightly clamped lips.

"You are staying here?" Narcissa asked.

"I want her to see her friend die." Voldemort said. Leah groaned from the pain and the thought of Voldemort killing Harry.

"Good job Mione." Harry said as Hermione suddenly did a spell that put a shield around them.

"It won't last for long." Hermione said. "Maybe three minutes."

"Gives you enough time to…" Harry started but stopped once Draco suddenly froze. "What?"

"Shhh." Draco said. "Leah."

Don't let Harry get me. Leah said.

Why? Draco asked.

Voldemort's here. He wants to kill him. Leah said.

What else is new? Draco said.

Don't…let…him…come. Leah said.

"What's she saying?" Harry asked.

"Voldemort is…" Draco said.

DON'T TELL HIM! Leah said.

"What about Voldemort?" Hermione asked. Draco looked at Harry, hoping he got the message before looking away.

"Come on everyone." He said. They continued walking. Running across a Death Eater every so often but someone always stunned them. "Here's where you lot get off."

"Ok." Hermione said. She and Ginny hugged Draco.

"Be careful." Ginny said. The group split off. Harry looked around before joining them. "What are you doing?"

"Voldemort's with Leah." Harry said. Everyone stared at him. "If Leah has to be nearby to help me…then I have to go with you guys."

"She's going to be so mad." Hermione said.

"No time for that now." Fred said.

"Come on, this way." Lily said. She them through the corridors. They ran into Death Eaters everywhere and had to waste time fighting them. "This isn't working."

"I'm sorry." Hermione said.

"It's not your fault." Lily said. "You shielded us for five minutes. That sort of thing would waste anyone's energy." She ran her hand through her red hair. "I don't know what we're gonna do."

"What if I try?" Harry asked. "Maybe I could, you know, do what Voldemort does to me and maybe try to figure out where they are."

"Oh I don't know, sweetie." Lily said.

"Don't worry mom." Harry said. "Just keep a watch out." He closed his eyes tightly. Nothing happened for a while then he suddenly gasped. He saw through Voldemort's eyes as he went down the hallway they were in, turned a few corners then pushed open a door to a room. In that room, lying on a bed, was Leah. Sitting on a chair next to her was Narcissa Malfoy. Harry's eyes snapped open to see seven Death Eaters lying unconscious.

"What happened?" Fred and George asked.

"I know how to get to Leah." Harry said. He led them down the hall, around corners and to the door. "This is it."

"Are you sure?" Hermione asked. Suddenly there was a scream from behind the door.

"I'm sure." Harry said. "Narcissa Malfoy is in there as well as Voldemort."

"We got it all under control." Lily said.

"Let's go save Leah." Ginny said. They pushed open the door.

Stopping! I need a cliffhanger. I promise to get more fighting action in the next chapter…if people review.
