" Harry...Harry, I hear someone."
" Shh!!!" Harry made a shushing noise at Ron, and edged closer toward the door. Sure enough, there were voices. Loud voices. voices that obviously didn't care if the residents of Grimmauld Place heard them or not. That could only mean that there were no residents to worry about.
"- I'm telling you, they are here somewhere. Keep looking!"
" But-Bellatrix..."
"I SAID KEEP LOOKING!!"
Harry felt a pit in his stomach. He finally recognized the shrill, insane voice that filled the hallway outside the door. It was Bellatrix Lestrange, and by the sound of it the death eater with her was not quite happy with his partner at the moment. Harry turned to Ron and Hermione, who also had looks of recognition on their faces.
Suddenly, the door to the drawing room burst open, and a long shadow filled its doorway. Harry quickly motioned for Ron and Hermione to flatten themselves up against a wall. The trio did so, but then the singing began.
" Rock- a -bye baby Potter, in the treetop. When the Dark Lord comes, the cradle will rock. When the house breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby Potter, parents and all." Bellatrix cackled, and walked into the room. " Lumos".
With their hiding place revealed, Harry pulled out his wand and turned to Bellatrix. Her face was twisted in a grin.
" Decided to play, Potter? "
" What did you do with the Weasley's? What did you do with Sirius?!?"
Bellatrix stroked her wand absentmindely. " hmm...I shan't be telling you. Now, come out in the hallway like a good boy, and bring your friends with you."
Harry felt Ron and Hermione come to his side. Hermione gave a little yelp as Bellatrix edged closer to the three teenagers, her wand suddenly pressing into Harry's throat. Six more Death Eaters entered the room. Suddenly, they moved.
Two death eaters had pinned Hermione down on the ground very quickly. She flailed her arms, and screamed. She kept trying to fight them off, but when her entire body went limp, Harry knew that she was unconscious from a spell.
Ron and Harry stood back to back against the circle of death eaters that surrounded them.
"Harry…."
" Ron, listen, I'm going to send a hex to those two death eaters that are with Hermione. When I do that, grab her and disaparate out of here, ok?"
" What about you, Harry?"
" Never mind me. I'll find a way out. Just go!"
But Ron never got to go, because just as Harry moved to hex Hermione's captors, the two Death Eaters, along with Hermione, had disaparated. When his vision went dark, and her heard Ron's yell, Harry knew that they were stuck.
