RON'S P.O.V.
Once Draco calmed down and pulled away, Ron noticed he was bleeding.
"Are you alright?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I just decided it was safer to punch my mirror rather than my father." Draco replied.
Ron watched as he performed a healing charm on himself. The bleeding ceased, the glass disappeared, and the cuts closed.
"We have to stop this." Ron stated. "He's tearing apart our families. We don't deserve it!"
"But, what can we do?" Draco responded. "There's no way Neville will accept us in the Order amd if the Dark Lord even hears about this conversation, we're dead."
"I know." Ron said. "But I'll be damned before I let him kill Ginny. And I'd know you'd die before you let him touch your mother."
"What's she got to do with this?"
"You and I both know, she didn't like what He did to Kat, any more than you did. She just stayed because she didn't want the same thing to happen to you. What if, Kat's death pushes her out the door?"
"She wouldn't go anywhere without me!"
"I know but what if she does somehting drastic and gets caught?"
"But the question still remains. What can we do?"
"I haven't figured it out yet."
"I think we need to talk to Ginny and the mudblood."
"Why? They could do even less than we can."
"That maybe true, but if we talk, maybe we could come up with a plan together."
"Good idea with one small problem. They hate us." Ron pointed out.
There was no way that was going to work. The mudblood wouldn't help them if they were dying and he didn't think Ginny would ever trust him.
"So we simply need to offer them something that they can't and won't want to refuse." Draco stated.
"And what's that?" Ron asked.
"Immunity from the two of us." Draco replied.
"Fine," Ron answered slightly disappointed. "But knowing the trust issue and my sister, we're probably gonna have to make an Unbreakable Vow with both of them."
"I figured as much. So we'll go down tomorrow night and see if we can figure something out."
"Okay." Ron took a deep breath. "Are you gonna be alright?"
"Yeah, I just need some alone time right now. I'll see you tomorrow."
Draco left the room and Ron shut the door praying the girls agreed to their terms.
HARRY'S P.O.V.
When the girls were brought breakfast, a loaf of bread and two bottles of water, the next morning, Harry transfigured it into a feast. The feast included, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, orange juice, and milk. It felt good to help them in anyway he could, considering their imprisonment was his fault.
"Thank you." Hermione said through a mouthful of sausage. "I haven't eaten this well in years."
Harry just smiled.
They spent the rest of the daytalking about Harry's world. They asked him all kinds of questions, that he didn't mind answering. It fact he enjoyed the distraction from his impending meeting with Snape. He had to remind himself that this was not the man who killed Dumbledore, at least, not int this world.
Around eight that night, Hermione got dressed, expecting Lucius to come for her. Eight o'clock came and went but Lucius never showed.
"That's weird." Hermione stated at a quarter to nine. "There's never been a night since I've been here that he hasn't taken me."
"Think of it a blessing." Ginny stated. "Besides, you could use the rest anyway."
Ten minutes later, Snape was standing in the doorway and Harry was well hidden by the cloak.
"Are you ready, blood traitor?" he said to Ginny.
She had actually turned into a brilliant actress, she looked downright terrified.
They're pretty good at this, Harry thought, as Snape grabbed the back of Ginny's neck and she winced. Snape then lead her out the door as Harry followed before the door shut. They walked, in silence, through the courtyard and eventually reached the manor and Sanpe's quarters.
Snape opened the door and shoved Ginny in, Harry squeezed in as Snape made sure no one was watching. Snape entered,closed the door and began putting up wards to insure their privacy. Harry waited, silently, in the corner for Ginny's okay to reveal himself.
"Okay, you can relax now." Snape told her.
"Good." Ginny responded. " 'Cuz we need your help with something."
"Help with what? And who's we?" Snape asked.
"Okay Harry, come out!" Ginny stated.
Harry pulled off the cloak and smiled nervously.
"This is we." he said.
Snape stared at him curiously for a moment.
"Who are you?" he finally asked.
"Harry Potter." Harry replied with a cringe.
"How is that possible?" Snape asked.
"I'm not entirely sure yet." Harry answered. "I was hoping you could help me figure that out."
"Before I do anything, I want proof of who you are." Snape said, "Because if you're not Lily's son, I'll personally hand you to the Dark Lord."
"I figured you'd say that. My name is Harry James Potter. I am the son of James Potter and Lily Evans Potter." Harry stated, hoping using his mothers maiden name would help his case. "I can't tell you too much about them because they died when I was one. Lily was an extremely talented muggleborn witch. She had red hair and emerald green eyes. If you really want proof of who I am, look in my eyes. How many people other than my mother did you know who had emerald green eyes?"
Snape looked at his eyes for a long time.
"I believe you but how did you get here right now?" he asked.
"Well, things are quite different where I come from. In my world, Voldemort lost his powers when he tried to kill me but couldn't. He stayed gone until I was fourteen, when he figured out how to come back. We fought tirelessly for years to bring him down again. My friends and I," Harry began explaining unsure how much detail he should use. "Were in Dumbledore's office, getting some stuff off our chests before a big mission. Something buzzed, I picked it up to see what it was and dropped it. When it shattered, I was blinded by a blue light and when it was gone, I was in Hermione and Ginny's "house"."
"What were you getting off your chests?" Snape asked.
"Mostly, stuff we wanted or people we envied." Harry answered shrugging.
"I need to know who said what." Snape stated.
"Well, I wanted Neville to be the boy who lived instead of me. Draco, who's mother was killed by Voldemort last year, wanted her to be there to see how he turned around. Ron said he envied the Death Eaters because they could get anything they wanted. And Hermione wished she had never met me and Ron."
Snape stared at him for a moment, several emotions crossing his face. First confusing, then realization, finally concentration.
"I think I know what happened. We need to go to Hogwarts to be completely sure. I need to see what it was that you dropped." he finally said.
"Will Neville let you in, though?" Ginny asked.
"Yes, I've been keeping him updated on you girls, especially you Miss Weasley, for years. He'll see me." Snape replied. "Potter's gonna be the problem."
"Don't worry. I know exactly what to say to him. He'll trust me once he knows Ginny does." Harry replied.
"Okay, good. This is what we're gonna do. Potter, you'll stay here while I take Miss Weasley back, then you and I will go to Hogwarts and test my theory."
"Okay. And thank you for taking care of them. You have no idea, how much Ginny and Hermione mean to me." Harry stated.
"I promised Dumbledore I would keep his students safe and that's what I'm trying to do." Snape replied.
He grabbed Ginny by the back of the neck again and pulled her out. As the door closed, Harry couldn't help but pray Snape wouldn't betray him.
HERMIONE'S P.O.V.
Though it didn't bother her in the slightest, Hermione was still curious as to why Lucius didn't come for her. She decided not to worry about it and laid down to ponder everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. She prayed the hope Harry had given her was not false. As she laid there thinking about it all, she slowly drifted of to sleep.
"Wake up, mudblood!"
She heard the cold voice of Ron Weasley and felt him shaking her. Her eyes instantly snapped opened as terror flooded her. She knew she was in trouble for not being ready, even though, she had no warning they were coming.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!" She said. "I'll be ready in a minute."
She got up and ran to her closet, trying to find "their" outfit.
"Calm down, mudblood." she heard Ron's voice in her ear and felt his lips brush it. "Where's Ginny?"
"M-m-m-master S-s-s-snape t-t-took h-h-her." She replied trying to stop the uncontrolable shake she felt in her body.
"I guess will just have to wait for her then, won't we Draco?" Ron asked.
"I supposed so." Draco replied.
Hermione, enraged that they were planning to drag Ginny into this, truned to face Ron.
"Why is it so important to have her here? Taking just me has never bothered you before! Besides, she's your sister, you sick bastard!" she yelle and spat in his face.
Draco, Hermione noticed, was suddenly behind Ron and for the first time in years, she was glad for it. Ron raised his hand, to backhand her, but Draco grabbed it.
"Ron, that's not gonna get us what we want. Now, go take a walk. I'll take care of her." he said calmly.
"Fine!" Ron yelled.
He yanked his hand away and walked out slamming the door.
"Now as for you." Draco continued. "That's not what we want tonight."
"Then what, pray tell, do you want?" Hermione questioned.
"Because I don't like repeating myself, you'll just have to find out when Ginny gets back." he answered. "But I can garuntee, you'll like what we have to say. Until she gets back, though, I suggest you sit down, shut up and don't do anything stupid. I can't garuntee being able to stop Ron the next time he gets angry."
"As you wish, master." she replied with an over exaggerated bow.
"You best be careful, bitch." he yelled.
Hermione could see that he was fighting his temper and decided it was best to just sit in the corner and not press her luck any further.
Ron came back a few minutes later, threw her a look she couldn't quite understand, conjured an arm chair for himself and Draco, and they both sat. She heard them whispering to eachother as she fought to stay awake, unsure of how far their hospitality would stretch.
RON'S P.O.V.
How dare she! Ron thought as he slammed the door to the "house" and stomped through the courtyard. Him have anything to do with the rape or even physical harm of his sister! Please! He wasn't that much of a monster! He next thought made him freeze. But in the mudblood's eyes he was. She had never seen him be anything else. That's when it hit him. They were trying to change things now because their sisters were being hurt and killed. And there families being torn apart. He now knew they should've been doing it for years because of the other families being torn apart. He couldn't belive he let himself turn into this. Karma was a bitch. He should've known it would all come back to bite him in the arse. He cursed himself all the way back to Hermione's hole.
DRACO'S P.O.V.
Draco stood there watching the mudblood after reprimanding her for disrespecting Ron. He noticed how she was forcing herself to stay awake. He figured she was afraid of what they might do if she fell asleep. He began to think of Kat, everytimehe went to see her. He remembered the relief on her face when she saw that it was him behind the door. He thought of how dirty, tired, and bruised she always looked. How he couldn't even hug her because she was terrified of a man's touch. Then he thought if it was this bad for him knowing what was happening to Kat, he couldn't imagine how the other girls' families felt, not knowing what was going on or even if their loved ones were still alive. It was then that all his fears about what they were doing disappeared. He knew for a fact that it was the right thing to do.
Ron came back a few minutes later and conjured a couple chairs. They sat down and began discussing their plan. Draco wanted to say and do everything right.
HERMIONE'S P.O.V.
The door clicked opened about a half hour later and Snape shoved Ginny in. Hermione quickly stood and went to her before the boys could stop her.
"Excuse us for a sec." she said pulling Ginny to the other side of the room.
She hoped their decency would last long enough for them not to listen in.
"What are they doing her?" Ginny whispered.
"Later. What happened?" she made her words almost inaudible but Ginny was used to it.
"Snape has a theorybut he needs to take Harry to Hogwarts to test it." Ginny replied just as inaudibly but Hermione caught every word.
"Is that where there heading now?"
"Yes. I just hope Neville will believe Harry."
"If he proves you believe him then Neville will."
"Are you two finished?" Draco asked angrily.
"What's so important, anyway?" Ron added.
"None of your business." Hermione snapped.
"What are the two of you doing here, anyway?" Ginny asked.
"Will talk if you will." Ron responded.
"That depends on what you have to say." Ginny answered and stepped towards Ron.
"You're in no position to debate." Ron stated, clenching his fists and stepping towards Ginny.
Hermione realized things were about to go sour and was trying to figure out how to not have Ron and Ginny hurt each other. She was surprised when Draco stepped between them.
"Ron, calm down. You know how delicate the situation is." he said. "And what happened to not wanting to hurt your sister?"
Stunned by this statement, Hermione looked at Ginny and saw she was just as stunned. Ron took a deep breath and stepped back. Draco turned to face Ginny and Hermione.
"We'll tell you why we're here then you can decide if you want to share your secret." he said.
Hermione wasn't sure if she could trust them or not and looked at Ginny who nodded.
"Talk." Hermione prompted.
Draco conjured two more chairs and gestured for them to sit. Hermione wasn't sure about it but when she saw Ginny get comfortable, she did the same. Draco and Ron followed suit as Draco began their story.
