Chapter 5

Rescue Hermione

"I believe she is connected to Bellatrix" Said the portrait of Dumbledore. Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Professor Mcgonagall were in the Heads office, listening intently to Dumbledore and his guesswork. "Not quite unlike your own connection with Lord Voldemort Harry" Dumbledore said with a nod.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked. "Bellatrixs soul?"

Ron's eyes widened "What?"

"No, No," Dumbledore said. "I am referring to Bellatrixs wand"

Sense somehow snapped in to Harry. "Hermione has her wand. She used it in her duel against her".

Dumbledore nodded gravely. "Indeed, and had Hermione won the wands allegiance".

Harry thought and remembered how it was he, who stole the wand from Bellatrix.

"No". Harry said.

" The wand can channel the mind of any witch and wizard of whom it has loyalty for. As Miss Granger had not won the wand, it appears the wand has been possessing her with aspects of Bellatrix personality. If they had not have duelled in the woods, it would have been fine. However upon seeing its true master, the wand has remembered its true allegiance and is now infecting Hermione with Bellatrix power"

"So we need to separate Hermione from the wand?" Ginny said quietly.

Dumbledore nodded.

"But no one knows where she has gone" Mcgonagall said with a sense of worry.

"If I am right, and forgive me, But I believe I am" Dumbledore said. "The wand would be trying to find Bellatrix, and by doing so, it will use Hermione as the body to do so, mere transport if you will"

"So she will be heading for Bellatrix" Ron said, actually standing up as if he knew where to find her.

" I am afraid that is the case" Dumbledore said.

"Another thing?" Harry said, " When we were watching the duel. Hermione done some pretty impressive things. Was that the wand?"

Dumbledore considered this before he answered. "Miss Granger is extremely gifted, I am more happy to say, that she would easily hold her own in any duel"

Harry nodded,

"However" Dumbledore continued. "When Bellatrix and her wand reunite, which could be very soon, Hermione would be left with her, wand less and most vulnerable".

Panic hit the group like a cold breeze.

"How do we find the girl" Came a voice from the office door. Lucius Malfoy, Narcissus and Andromeda strolled in, Andromeda carrying a basked which held Teddy Lupin, who today had bright green hair.

"Bellatrix escaped from our manor half an hour ago" Narcissus said to the group, who eyed her back with suspicion.

Andromeda rushed over to Mcgonagall. "I don't know what her next move is Minerva, but he needs protection"

Mcgonagall looked down at the baby. "Off course" She said.

"We have no idea where she is" Harry said to Lucius, a man he still hated beyond anything.

"Ah Harry" Came the voice of Dumbledore, "Help is always at hand at Hogwarts for those who ask, lets say you wanted a sandwich"

Harry was bemused for like a second and then it dawned.

"Kreacher" Harry said and a loud crack sounded around the room.

The house elf appeared and bowed low to Harry. "What is it that I can assist you with Sir?"

" Bellatrix Lestrange was your old mistress at one point. Can you sense her?"

Kreacher looked frightened. "Yes sir. It's a mark of a loyal good elf, to know where their master is at all time. Even past one"

"Great" Dumbledore said from the portrait. "I would advise Ron, Ginny, Harry, Lucius and Minerva to go with Kreacher. Minerva and Lucius, you battle Bellatrix and you three" He looked in Ron, Ginny's and Harry's direction, "You separate the wand from Hermione.

They all looked around and braced themselves.

"Be careful" Narcissus said to the party.

They all nodded and grouped around Kreacher as though he was a portkey. Crack, he had disappeared with the troops, leaving the two sisters and the baby in the office worried.

"They will be fine" Dumbledore said., "Harry Potter is with them". And he left his frame.
