Chapter 27
Draco watched as Harry along with Ron sped towards the door. He had to stop Harry somehow from going out there from the deafening regular bangs Blaise had recruited other people.
He had only managed two steps towards the door when he felt hands holding him in place, he turned to find his mother and Hermione holding him back.
Narcissa answered horror creeping into her,
"Where are you going? You are pregnant!"
Draco answered,
"It's Blaise, Maybe I can make him listen."
Narcissa asked,
"Are you willing to risk you own life and your baby or a hope that he will listen?"
Draco snapped,
"I'm not going to sit here let Harry risk his life when he doesn't understand why."
Narcissa replied,
"Draco put the wards back up."
Draco shook his head and explained,
"No mother, They are already in the grounds possibly in the manor if they get passed Harry. Putting The wards back on just keeps us trapped in here with them."
Hemione asked,
"Is there anywhere we can lead the muggles here safely?"
Narcissa replied,
"We can lead them to the upper floor to the family rooms."
Draco answered,
"Yes, but there only a few enchantments to keep unwanted people out."
Hermione replied,
"Better than sitting here waiting to be attacked."
Draco sighed and answered,
"Mother lead a group of them into the family room take a few of the women who can fight who did not go outside with you for protection."
Narcissa asked,
"Where do you think you are going?"
Draco replied causally as he could,
"Bathroom before I wet myself, having someone lay against your bladder is not fun."
Narcissa nodded and spoke to the room,
"Please follow us upstairs while we sort out the commotion."
Most muggles stood up at once. Mr and Mrs Granger both were on the feet. Draco noticed that Mrs Granger eyes were very much like her daughters and had same crease in her forehead that Hermione got when frowning.
They started to form an oddly group as Narcissa called out to them with instruction. Hermione reached her mother before they could join the group and answered,
"I'm so sorry you have been dragged into this, I'll do everything I can to make the situation right. Please take Rose I have to check on the staff."
Draco could not contain himself from rolling his eyes was she seriously concerned about house elves they had their own magic for protection.
As the room filed out in an half organised fashion, no one wanting to be last in case the attackers broke through the walls. Hermione turned to Draco and answered,
"Do you have some kind of plan as we aren't following your mother?"
Draco answered,
"I don't have enough information to make up a plan but one of our guests might be able to give us enough to help the others."
Hermione looked at Draco questioningly. Draco ordered,
"Get the Weaslette bring her to the drawing room."
Draco saw Hermione swallow hard. The last time she had set foot there she had been tortured by his aunt. The memory still haunted her in her dreams he heard her scream out in the night. In truth the memory replayed in his head from time to time along with other torture session he witnessed or been on the end of.
Hermione answered,
"Draco she doesn't know anything, She been locked up in for months. She due to give birth a month from now. Do you really think she capable of getting involved with anyone?"
Draco didn't have time to argue with the stubborn brunette who was still filled with love for the person in question.
Draco answered,
"The drawing room is quite safe just not big enough to put everyone in."
Another ear breaking bang was overhead that stood the walls of the manor and yells from the grounds could be heard. Draco stomach did a flip and his heart beat faster than ever, Draco took and deep breath and answered,
"Me and her spoke earlier and came to an agreement. She confessed she had spoken to Blaise and now Blaise is attacking. I don't have time to explain the full version just get her to the drawing room I need to know how much she told him so the three of us can come up with a plan. Please Granger if I go up to her they will know something else is going on."
Granger questioned,
"You not going to hurt her or use anything against her?"
Draco snapped,
"I'm not a monster Granger, I'm not my father. She is carrying Harry's children I would never do anything to harm them."
Granger looked at Draco like he was going mad he wanted to scream at her. He lied,
"Look, she was probably drugged up and didn't realise she let information slip but we need to know what information."
Hermione sighed and answered,
"I hate going behind everyone back like this."
Draco had lost all patience and answered,
"You either do this or we stand her arguing about it and you burry your husband before you can consummate your marriage."
Harry stood outside in the cold air of October, not that he noticed the cold much. He had spent the winter months of what should have been his seventh year at Hogwarts in a freezing old tent. A blast of light just missing him brought him back to reality. He heart race and he looked around searching for Ron or Hermione, were they inside trying to protect the guests along with Draco? The thought of Draco made his stomach twist what this this stress brought more bleeding on? He had already bled without Harry even realising how could he be so blind. Draco had looked like death warmed up earlier anything this stressful could bring the bleeding back and he could loose there baby. Harry had not forgotten about Ginny also. She was further along in her pregnancy with twins and was due mere fours weeks away. could Draco and Ginny hold it together long enough to not kill them shut away in a room together for a few hours?
Two red headed people ran past him in a rush, He had no way of telling what part of the Weasley clan they belonged to there was way to many here to keep count. He ran after them putting someone in a mask in a leg locker jinx. He had to duck a green curse, He had no denial in what the curse was. He put another one in the a fully body blinding curse. His heart speed up as the battle of Hogwarts flashed thought his head. Was he fit enough I be an auror if he could not deal with this small gang of wizards? He turned to find Bill and Ron shooting spells at two very large people. He would bet any amount of gallons one was related to Goyle.
He needed a clear head, He needed to find out who the ring leader was. Names flashed thought his head. For himself almost every Slytherin in went school with not to mention Draco's father and ex fiancée. He looked around hoping to see Lucius appear. He shook his head and told himself to pull it together. Lucius was still under house arrest in France for his crimes, Blaise was behind bars and Astoria must be around 5 or 6 months pregnant same as Darco.
He saw Rolf losing a fight only feet away. He quickly cast a spell and the other one's wand went flying out of his hand and clattering to the ground. Rolf ran forward kicking the shit out of his head. Harry thought it wasn't really necessary behaviour. It was pitch black apart from the light by wands the man would be lucky to find his wand again.
Harry looked around for the next ten minutes looking for the ringleader when he came across Kingsley. He turned his wand on Harry and relaxed with seeing who it was. Harry asked,
"How many we outnumbered by?"
Kingsley answered,
"I don't know, about 50 people."
Harry caught glimpse of Luna and Neville fighting in what was very similar to death eaters masks. What he lost anyone tonight he thought. The security was his idea, he was sure it would stop this from happening where had his plan gone so wrong?
He saw long blonde hair flash past him. White blonde hair that long could only be one person. He yelled,
"Cissa, What are you doing?"
She turned to face him eyes dwelling up this tears and shouted back,
"I can't find Draco!"
That statement made his blood run cold, would Draco he stupid enough to try and fight? Draco had grown up in these grounds and knew every inch of them most likely. Of course he would consider fighting Draco could not follow instructions. He learnt that rather fast in there months living together.
Harry screamed loudly in frustration. Narcissa darted off though the ground if He found Draco fighting, he would kill him!
Draco appeared in the drawing room where Ginny and Hermione were sitting in arms chairs in fact his mothers and fathers favourite ones.
Ginny looked up giving Draco her dirtiest look. He smirked his famous old school boy smirk. Hermione looked up worried and bit her lip a thing Draco had noticed she did whenever she was nervous and she clearly was now as she had clearly brought Ginny here under false pretences plus this room did bring back some deep and dark memories Hermione had spend the last 4 years putting to rest.
Ginny asked angrily,
"Why was I brought here? I want to go back to the others."
Hermione answered her voice slightly higher than normal,
"Draco advised us to come here, it's a room that never been penetrated and quite safe."
Ginny asked,
"Why didn't you bring everyone here?"
Hermione looked lost for words. Draco answered,
"It's not big enough."
Draco was not about to play games he carried on directing his question at Ginny,
"You knew about this attack and you know who it is don't you."
Ginny answered,
"No I have no idea who's behind it maybe you should been more careful about who was invited."
Draco snorted and muttered,
"incarerous!"
Ropes appeared at Ginny arms ad legs tying her neatly to the chair. Hermione stood up immediately and protested to let Ginny go. Draco raised his eyebrows and replied,
"Do you want to sleep with Weasley again or burry his corpse? We will be if we don't get answers soon. And Weasley I would not struggle they get tighter you wouldn't want to lose a hand or foot now would you?"
She looked at him his face red with rage. She demanded through gritted teeth,
"Let go of me! I am Pregnant!"
Hermione replied,
"Draco you promised not to hurt her!"
Draco answered,
"I actually promised not to hurt Harry's children and she making the ropes tighter by fighting."
Draco turned back to Ginny and answered,
"So tell me your full story of your visit with Blaise Zabini."
She screamed,
"Screw you! When he gets through your dead."
Least she admitted it Draco thought as Hermione clasped both hand to her mouth in horror. Draco lowered and voice and answered,
"I don't like you Weasley, it very clear we can harm each other. I promised I would never harm Harry's children but if that means I have cut them out right now and torture you for the information I will to save Harry's life."
