Author's Note: I have changed the past two chapters please read BEFORE this one. I have made one major change to add a twist to the story.
Chapter .3.
It had been three weeks since Harry, Luna, Neville and Ginny were at Godric's Hollow. The professors were still unconscious. They had been starved too. Giving their food to students. The students were getting better and started learning proper spells. Harry, Ginny, Luna and Neville trained hard. They worked well as a team and in their pairs. Harry and Ginny, Luna and Neville.
Harry lent on the table in what was now the war room. With a map of Malfoy Manor. This morning they had been looking at a map of Diagon Alley. They had been trading shifts watching the Diagon Alley for one of the higher up Death Eaters. Luck had it this morning when Peter Pettigrew came.
Flashback
Harry and Ginny sat at a table with heavy glamour's and watched the Alley. They looked like a couple having a day out. That's when Peter enters the alley.
"Look who we have here", Ginny mummers
"I think we should question him. What do y…", Harry starts
"We will do it. Let's get him alone", Ginny says
Ginny walks up to Peter.
"Excuse me my Mistress wishes to see you. She is VERY interested in a Pure-Blood such as yourself and what the Dark Lord has to offer her and the people that follow her", Ginny says with a couple of wandless compulsion charms
"Show me the way", Peter's eyes gleam at getting more supports for his Master after what happened at Hogwarts
Ginny leads him down a dark alley. She was the only one that could see Harry.
"Stupfey", Harry thinks
Peter falls down and no one notices.
"Let's take him in here", Harry says
Ginny levitates Peter into the abandoned building. And locks the door and an added measure put-notice-me-not charms up. Harry bounds Peter to a chair and puts three drops of truth serum on his tongue. Ginny got out a piece of parchment to write what Peter says.
"Elevate", Harry says quieting taking a seat to get off his leg
Peters eyes go wide in horror at who sat before him.
"Do you know who I am?" Harry asks
"Harry Potter", Peter says
"Does the Dark Lord have prisoners?" Harry asks
"Yes", Peter says
"Who are they?" Harry asks
"Dean Thomas, Theodore Tonks, Ollivander, Xenophilius Lovegood, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Dirk Cresswell, Penelope Clearwater, and Percy Weasley", Peter says
Harry's eyes widen knowing his father was now a prisoner and Remus. Ginny's also knowing her brother was a prisoner too.
"Why is Severus Snape a prisoner?" Harry asks
"He failed and allowed students and teachers to get out of Hogwarts. And let two Death Eaters get killed", Peter replies
"Who is the Headmaster at Hogwarts now?" Harry asks
"Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange", Peter replies
"Where are the prisoners being held?" Harry asks
"Malfoy Manor. In a cell. I care for them the Dark Lord wants them alive so he can kill them painfully at the proper time", Peter replies
Harry decided he needed to use Legilimency on Peter to see the plans for Malfoy Manor. He nodded at Ginny who knew what he was thinking. They needed the information. To plan a rescue. Harry slammed into Peter's mind who screamed as ALL the secrets where revealed. Including one of him putting the imperio curse on Sirius to tell his biological Dad where to find Remus on the night of the full moon in 5th year. Finally Harry pulled back one hand was over a piece of parchment he had just drawn of Malfoy Manor.
"Are you going to kill me?" Peter asks
"No I am getting you to pass a message to your half-blood leader. Tell him the heir of Merlin is coming for him", Harry says before obviating the all of parts of this day.
"I have put the wards up they won't let him go for 4 days. We have that time to plan", Ginny says
"Let's get out of here", Harry says
End Flashback
Harry looked at the play out of the Manor. It didn't have much security.
"Harry we need to get Tonks and her Mother here before we do this", Ginny says
"I agree Bellatrix and Narcissa are crazy to kill them when they find the prisoners missing. Luna, Neville, Kreacher!" Harry calls
"Yeh Harry", Neville says
"Yes Master?" Kreacher asks
"Go to the Tonks place get Nymphadora Tonks-Lupin and her mother. Make sure it IS them before you bring them here. Kreacher first do you know if the Malfoy cellar can be seen with light?" Harry asks
"It can't. It is deep underground", Kreacher replies
"Ok. Go get Tonks and Mrs Tonks", Harry says
Neville, Luna take Kreacher's hand and they are gone.
"I am going to send a Patronus message to the prisoners saying help will be soon. In that hell hole they will need hope", Harry says taking out his wand
"That is a good idea Harry", Ginny says
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry says and a silver panther comes out, "Help will be their soon. Hang on a day more"
Harry lets it go. Ginny puts a hand on Harry.
"We WILL get them", Ginny says
"I know. But what condition they are in is another matter", Harry says
Weasley House
The Order had gathered under the code of Bill's birthday. The Order was in an up roar it had been three weeks and most the students and teachers of Hogwarts had disappeared without a trace but the leaving of two dead Death Eaters. They all feared for the children. With a flash of fire Dumbledore appears with Fawkes.
"How are you alive?" Kingsley asks
"That my friend is a complicated story. Let's just stick to now. Have any of your heard whispers of where the students and teachers could be?" Dumbledore asks
He had come back after the Ghosts told him the students had disappeared from Hogwarts. He may have done shady things for the Greater Good. But he cared about ALL the students and the teachers.
"None. Snape is gone too. Replaced with Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange. Hagrid's hut is burnt to the ground they say he died in the fire", Bill says
Dumbledore sighs sadly, "My old friend. That was not the way you wanted to go"
"My niece is along the missing she would have contacted us by now", Amelia says
"So would Ginny", Molly says tears in her eyes
"We have to assume the worst. As Hagrid is dead. We must hope they got away even if the chances are not great", Dumbledore says
"They are just children! How could they compare with Death Eaters?" Molly asks crying
Arthur hugs his wife him too knew the chances of his daughter returning home was slim to none like Percy. And his son Ron was still gone with Harry and Hermione on that 'mission'.
It was raining outside when they hear a knock on the door. Dumbledore puts fingers to his lips end stands away from the door and into the shadows. Bill and Charlie get up wands drawn to answer it.
"Who is it?" Bill asks
"Identify yourself", Charlie says
"It's my Ronald Bilius Weasley", a weak voice says
"And me Hermione Jean Granger!" a voice says, "Let us in quickly. Ron is hurt!"
Bill and Charlie look at Dumbledore who nods all wands now on the door as it slowly opens. Standing in the wet rain was a soaked Hermione who was holding a soaking wet Ron up. He looking like he had been beaten up.
"I used a time turner for all my classes in third year! Please believe me. We have been running from snatches for over 3 weeks", Hermione says
"That's true", Dumbledore says coming out of the shadows
Hermione gasps, "How?"
"It will be explained. Let's get Mr Weasley fixed up", Dumbledore says
Fred and George rush to help Hermione who's knees where about to give in and she still had hold of Ron.
"My baby", Molly says rushing to where Bill and Fred had put Ron on the couch
George and Charlie help Hermione into a chair.
"Hey Mum. What's for dinner I am staving?" Ron says
"Let me fix you up and I will get you both something to eat", Molly replies
"Mr Weasley, Miss Granger where is Mr Potter?"
Tonks House…
"Mum I am worried. Remus is gone. Dad is gone. It is only the two of us and I am pregnant", Tonks says crying for her lose
Andromeda hugs her emotional daughter.
"It will be alright. Are loved ones ALWAYS come back to us in the end", Andromeda says
Suddenly there was a pop and two teenagers appear with a house-elf wands aimed at them. Andromeda and Tonks raise their wands.
"We are not here to hurt you", the blonde teen says
"Luna? Neville? Kreacher?" Tonks asks
'Neville' pointed his wand at Tonks and says, "Are you and Remus expecting a child? And did he leave when he found out and came back?"
'Luna' pointed her wand at Andromeda and says, "Who are your husband's parents?"
Tonks didn't know what to say should she tell the truth and hope they weren't Death Eaters? The look in 'Neville' and 'Luna's' eyes were hard and cold. Tonks realises they were testing them like they believed her and her mother were Death Eaters.
"Ted's parents are William and Mary Tonks both Muggles", Andromeda replies
"I am expecting Remus's child. Remus did leave then came back. But he disappeared a week and a half ago", Tonks replies, "What group where you two in, in 1995-1996? Who are you loyal too?"
"Harry created Dumbledore's Army. Now it is just the Army. We stand firmly loyal to Harry!" Neville and Luna say lowing their wands
"You lot gave us a scare", Andromeda says
"Why aren't you at Hogwarts? Where are the students?" Tonks asks
"Sorry we had to check and there is no time. You NEED to pack your bags now", Neville says
"Death Eaters will be coming for you both soon", Luna adds
"But why?" Tonks asks
"We can't say trust us. More importantly trust Harry", Neville says
"Harry wants you where he is", Luna says, "It IS the safest place in the world"
Tonks looked in their eyes again she saw they weren't going to budge.
"Let's pack Mum. I trust them", Tonks says
"Kreacher will pack Remus, Ted and other stuff you get your stuff. Your house must be destroyed to make everyone think you're dead", Luna says as Neville moves to the window to watch the yard
Tonks and Andromeda wave their wands quickly packing everything into trucks and suitcases. Kreacher with a snap of his fingers packs the rest.
"Luna we have six watching. They must have known to watch this house", Neville says quietly
"Kreacher get Harry. Tell him we need his sword", Luna says
"Tonks, Mrs Tonks stay BEHIND the shields. Do not move or try to help", Neville says
"But I am an Au…", Tonks starts
Neville gives her a look, "DO NOT try to help. Now come on"
Tonks wondered where the shy boy had gone. Luna and Neville causally walk out of the house with Tonks and Mrs Tonks behind them.
"Well we are here. We don't we get this over with?" Neville asks the Death Eaters wand drawn
Luna puts up a shield around the Tonks. As spells begin to fly. Tonks and Andromeda watched as the two duelled three Death Eaters each at once. Suddenly there was a sharp crack and surprising the Tonks, Harry and Ginny appear wands drawn. Harry even had a sword!
"About time you two joined us. You were about to miss the party!" Neville says with a grin
Ginny begins to duel a big Death Eater her movements quick and actuate she looked fierce. Harry was using his wand and the sword. Neville and Luna had joined up on the third last Death Eater left alive. Luna and Neville were in sync with each other. And soon took out the Death Eater with a bang. Ginny had already taken down hers and Harry was cutting all the Death Eaters on the ground so none would survive to tell this tale.
"Any injuries?" Harry asks
"All fine Harry", Luna says smiling
"Nice little fight that one. Not as big as Godric's Hollow. But entertaining", Neville says
"How did you…", Tonks asks shocked that it wasn't Ron and Hermione helping Harry, "Where are Ron and Hermione?"
"Let's destroy your house. Ronald and Hermione are a long story", Harry says voice hard like stone saying his former best friends names
"Come over here. Neville and Harry will destroy the house", Ginny says helping Tonks far from the house
Luna was helping Andromeda.
"BOMBARDA MAXINA!" Harry and Neville say wands pointed at the house
The house explodes as debris was coming towards them Harry flicked his wand turning it into sand.
"Let's get out of here shall we?" Harry asks Tonks and Andromeda casually like a battle had just not happened
Malfoy Cell
Severus gasped he had several broken ribs. He leaned against the wall. He saw the others they all knew they had little hope of getting out of here alive to see their loved ones.
"I was stupid. I should have stuck with my family. Family IS everything", Percy says groaning in pain
Penelope was next to him giving him comfort.
"I will not see my daughter marry. I was just meant to be with her mother on the other side of the veil", Xenophilius says knowingly resigned to his fate
"I hope the world will clear of darkness and my sons will know light and wandlore like I have been teaching them", Ollivander says
"I am not going to see my child come into the world. See my wife holding him/her", Remus says with a resigned sigh he didn't know how long he had been in here
"Nymphadora and Andromeda are tough. They will live without us", Ted says softly
Suddenly the wall glowed and a silver panther walks through the wall. The Patronus was radiating power.
"Help will be there soon. Hang on a day more", the panther says before bouncing around the room giving off hope before disappearing
"Who was that?" Dean asks
"Didn't recognise the Patronus", Dirk says
"Neither did I", Xenophilius says
"Do you think we will get rescued?" Penelope asks
"If they come they are stupid. It is suicide. There are Death Eaters everywhere", Remus says
"You don't know who made the Patronus", Severus says with a painful knowing smile
