Draco's POV

Once I had Hermione in my arms, I Apparated back to our bedroom in Grimmauld's Place. I laid her down on the bed and sat to her, before touching her forehead. Her temperature was high and she was slightly shaking from the torture. I kissed her forehead

"Don't worry, darling, I'll make them pay for what they did to you. And when this is all over, we can live together in total happiness"

I got up from the bed and headed downstairs to tell Mrs Weasley about Hermione, before Apparating back to Malfoy Manor, this time, appearing on the seventh floor, where Lucius' office was situated. Drawing out my wand, I opened the door and walked in

"Hello, father"

Lucius turned around. His wand was lying on his desk, out of reach

"Hello, Draco. How is your little Mudblood bitch?"

Sparks shot out from my wand

"You're gonna pay for what you did to her"

"Actually, no, I didn't do anything. It was Snape all along. He was the one torturing the Mudblood, not me, so don't get all psycho on me"

"But you killed Mother, in front of me and I still need to pay you back"

I walked closer, as Lucius took a step closer to his desk. I aimed my wand and blasted the desk apart. His wand landed out of reach from him

"So now that's two things I owe you, Lucius," I continued, "Let's see if you will receive two outcomes"

"I doubt it, boy," said Lucius, getting to his feet, "I am more powerful than you"

I rolled my eyes

"Oh here we go. 'I'm more powerful than you', yeah so what"

Lucius curled his upper lip, as he stepped to the side

"You can mimic and mock me all you want, boy, but you know you'll just end up dying tonight, I promise you"

"I don't think so. You will be the one who dies tonight, I promise you"

Lucius fired a spell. I countered with one and fired another, blasting the wall out. Lucius had dodged to his left and fired a spell. It shot over my right shoulder and destroyed the window behind me. I turned back, as Lucius fired another spell

I dived to my left, another hole in the wall appearing from the spell, and rolled onto my feet. I used the Stunning Spell, but Lucius deflected it. As I got up, Lucius used the Killing Curse. I summoned a spell book to hover in front and take the blast, but the book struck me in the chest and slammed me against the wall. I slumped to the floor and coughed, before getting to my feet

"You'll have to do better than that, boy. A spell book will not always be there"

"Yeah, I figured that soon after it hit me"

Lucius flicked his wrists

"Shall we continue?"

I fired a spell at Lucius, but he ducked and stepped aside. I used the Stunning Spell again, but Lucius deflected it again

"Bombardos!"

The floor exploded in front of Lucius, throwing him against the wall. I quickly used the Disembowelling Curse, but missed. Lucius got to his feet, fury set in his face, which is made worse by the numerous splinters embedded in his skin. I fired the Disarming Charm at him, but he blocked with a Shield Charm. I ducked as my own spell came flying back at me. Lucius fired several spells at me, causing me to deflect or dodge

Then, he used the Killing Curse again. I saw it way too late. It was nearly upon me before I realized. I closed my eyes. Nothing happened. I opened my eyes and saw that I had Apparated out of the way. A massive hole was in the wall where I had stood just seconds ago. Lucius turned around and sneered

"Well, boy, you were lucky there. I don't think you'll be lucky like that again"

"Oh really?"

"Yes"

I was flat on my back in a split second and found I couldn't breathe. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't draw in one single little ounce of air. I was slowly suffocating and there was nothing I could do about it

Ginny searched for a familiar face. Once the battle had started, she had begun looking for Ron, hoping to find him and knock some sense into him. But various Death Eaters had fought against her, including several vicious werewolves, and made her miss the chance to face Ron, as he turned his back. But during a duel with her fifth attacker, she could sight of his face. After disarming the Death Eater, she raced over to confront Ron, just as he took out Lupin with a Stunning Spell

"Ron!"

"Oh, hello, little sister"

"I can't believe what you've done"

"Well, believe it now, Ginny. Soon, it'll be over for you"

Ginny raised her wand

"I doubt it"

"Don't kid yourself," Ron sneered, as he raised his own wand

Brother and sister faced off, sending sparks and spells at each other, narrowly missing the other wizards and blasting the place apart with each powerful spell. Ron was surprised at Ginny's abilities. She was able to block, dodge or deflect most, if not all, of his spells. And it was making him angry. He had barely dodged or blocked all of her spells and some of those spells were powerful

"Crucio!" cried Ron

Ginny cried out in pain, agony ripping through her, but a thrown body struck Ron and broke the spell. Ginny stumbled around, trying to regain her senses, as Ron got to his feet and saw how defenceless she was. He raised his wand and aimed it at her, as she straightened and turned

"Avada"

"Ron!"

Ron looked around for the source of the voice, but he already knew who it was. His mouth dropped when the person appeared before him, wand aimed at him
