Hermione left her house and went to see Harry. She knocked on the door and scrunched her eyebrows together when Starry answered the door.
"Hi Starry. Where is Harry? He usually waits by the door for me." Hermione asked as she walked in.
"Starry does not know miss. Master Sirius thought that Harry and the others went to your house." Starry answered.
"No they didn't come with me." Hermione said and went looking for Sirius or Remus. She walked in to the kitchen and found Sirius eating.
"Hi Hermione." Sirius said. "Are you hungry?"
"Where is Harry?" Hermione asked urgently. She couldn't help but feel that something was off.
"What?" Sirius asked and stood up. "We thought he was with you."
"He's not." Hermione said.
Sirius ran out of the kitchen with Hermione on his heels. They ran upstairs to Remus's room. Sirius slammed open the door which startled Remus.
"What's going on?" Remus asked.
"Harry and the others are missing." Sirius said while putting his hand through his hair. "They never came home."
Remus's eyes widened and he got up fast while dropping this book.
"Well, where could they be?" Remus asked.
"What if someone kidnapped them? We can't just stand here we need to find them." Sirius said frantically.
"D-dont jump to conclusions. Maybe they're at the park." Remus said as he tried to keep calm for Sirius's sake. "I will search the park and retrace their route from the school to here. You notify the Weasley's, the Malfoy's and Dumbledore. Hermione stay here with Sirius, okay?"
Hermione and Sirius nodded and they all ran downstairs. Remus ran out the door without saying another word while the other two stayed back.
Remus decided to first check the park. Harry and Hermione stopped there once without permission. Remus thought Harry learned his lesson from his punishment but he checked just in case.
As he rounded the corner to the park, he almost tripped on a rock. As he stopped in front of the park, breathing heavily, he couldn't see anyone.
"No!" Remus yelled.
He ran to the school and went inside to find Harrys teacher. He ran though the hallway and reached the teachers door and opened it and ran in.
"Mr. Lupin?" The teacher said and looked towards her guests. "I'm so sorry."
"Have you seen Harry and the others?" Remus asked loudly. "Did they leave the school or did they stay for some activity?"
"They left." The teacher said in a worried tone. "Is everything alright?"
Remus ran out before answering. He started his walk home slowly instead of running so he wouldn't miss anything. His sense of smell got better the closer to the full moon.
He could smell the kids and they were heading in the right direction. In a couple minutes, he was very close to his home when he stopped. He could smell someone else with them now.
He walked a few feet from the path and stopped again. The panic on his face indicated that he realized who it was.
He ran back to the house as fast as he could and ran in through the door to see everyone there. Everyone got up and went to him.
"Where are they?" They all said at the same time.
"I-I followed their scent and they ran into another wizard who apparated with them." Remus had tears in his eyes. "Fenrir Greyback.
The room became chaotic until Dumbledore yelled, "Enough."
"I know that you are afraid but we will not be able to find them if you are all screaming." Dumbledore said calmly. "Remus show me where this happened. I might be able to find out where they apparated to."
They all followed Remus to the spot where they apparated and waited while Dumbledore did some kind of spell that they've never heard before.
"I know where they are. They are at the Carrow Manor." Dumbledore said. "Who is coming along?"
"What the bloody hell do you mean, Dumbledore?" Lucius said angrily. "We're all going! Those are our kids!"
"Narcissa, Molly and Remus should stay behind. If we don't come back with them, we need someone here to know what happened." Albus said.
"I'm not staying behind while my son and my niece and nephews are missing." Narcissa said. "Just because we're women does not mean we can't kick ass just as good as you men can."
"I'm not staying behind, Albus. I would go crazy not knowing what's going on." Remus said.
"I will stay behind." Molly said. But you lot better be careful and get our kids back safely."
"Wait! What about me?" Hermione said. "I want to come along, too! They're my friends."
"Hermione, dear, you can stay with me at the mansion." Molly patted her shoulder. "It's far too dangerous for you to tag along. Besides, I don't want to be left alone."
"Fine." Hermione said as tears came rolling down her face. "But please bring them all back! They're the only friends I have ever had and I love them."
Hermione ran off towards the mansion so the others wouldn't see her crying. Molly wished them luck and walked away to comfort Hermione.
"Everyone, grab my arm." Dumbledore demanded.
Everyone grabbed his arm and they spun on the spot until they landed near the Manor.
"We came here without a plan." Remus said. "What are we going to do?"
"Easy, we kill them all."Sirius said. "There are more of us than there are of them."
"There could be others here as well." Dumbledore said. "We need to get to the children without getting noticed."
"I've been here before. They will be in the dungeons." Lucius said.
"Lucius can lead us towards the dungeons." Remus said. "Along the way, one of us will break off in each hallway in case someone comes."
"I will break off first." Narcissa said.
"What?" Lucius said. "No, you can come along with us. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I am capable of taking care of myself, Lucius." Narcissa said. "It's you who I should be worried about. Be careful and get our family out of here, fast."
Narcissa kissed Lucius on the lips. She could still see the worry on his face but she didn't say anything.
"I will break off after Narcissa." Remus said.
"After that, we will only need one more to break off." Lucius said.
"I will." Arthur volunteered.
"It's settled then." Sirius said. "Let's go."
They all slowly walked to the front door and looked in through the door. Lucius tried to open the door but found that it was locked. Remus did the unlocking charm and they heard a click and headed inside.
It was dark inside so they all lit their wands. They walked a few steps into the first hallway.
"This is my stop." Narcissa whispered. "Be careful."
Lucius gave her another kiss. He was so worried that Sirius had to separate the two so they could continue.
They kept walking into the next hallway where Remus stayed behind. Sirius looked back to Remus with tears in his eyes. He mouthed the words, "Be careful." Remus nodded and said, "You too."
Lucius led them all to a door in another room. This was where Arthur stayed behind as it was the door to the basement. Sirius pat Arthur on the shoulder and told him not worry and to stay safe.
They quietly opened the door only to hear the sound of Harry screaming.
"I'm coming along too." Arthur said.
Sirius's eyes widened at the sound of Harrys screams and he was about to run down the steps until Albus grabbed his shoulder to stop him. He formed tears in his eyes again as they quietly descended the stairs.
They peeked around the corner to see Alecto pointing her wand at Harry with a smile on her face.
"This is what you brats get for waking me from my sleep." She cackled. "Now, Potter, I'm going to ask you one more time. Where is The Dark Lord?"
Harry was laying on the floor with tears in his eyes. He could hardly breath without hurting his throat so he couldn't talk. All he did was shake his head.
"Cru-" Alecto started before being interrupted.
"He said he doesn't know!" George screamed at her.
"He was just a baby." Fred yelled. "How in the bloody hell do you expect him to know?"
"Crucio!" Alecto yelled again and pointed her wand at Harry again.
Harry's scream was heart breaking for anyone to hear. His voice was getting scratchy and you could hear the agony and pain he was feeling.
Dumbledore stepped out of the shadows and yelled, "Avada Kedavra!"
The curse hit Alecto right in the chest and she fell to the ground, motionless.
All of the kids, besides Harry, cheered. They were finally being rescued. Dumbledore opened the door to the big cell. The kids ran out while Sirius ran in to Harry. Harry lifted his head and had a small smile when he saw Sirius's face. Sirius was about to pick him up when Amycus came down the steps. They all looked towards him with his wand pointing at them all.
Amycus nonverbally shot a spell into the group of kids and adults.
They all heard the sound of a body hitting the floor and they all looked frantically to see who is now dead. All you could hear from the group of kids was screaming.
