Okay I did say one review and I got one even if it wasn't for the right chapter so here we are!


Draco, Ron, and Harry to the Rescue!


"Mm, where are they?" Draco moaned, putting his firewhisky on the counter and laying his head alongside it; obviously drunk.

Harry looked at him sympathetically and began looking at the notes Draco had taken when they had asked if anyone had seen the girls with Nott, Crabbe, Goyle, or Lucius:

Robert the Slithering Serpent barkeeper; "I aint sayin I seein' em but I certainly aint missed em… If ya kno what I mean..."

Madam Rosmerta; "Sorry gents Lucius 'asnt been round since the Slithering Serpent opened…"

Snape; "Lucius has not provided me with details furthering his or the students' disappearances."

It had been three days since the girls had been taken hostage and still they had no idea where they could be until Ron turned his head to gaze out the window and in the distance he squinted and saw a mane of shocking red hair whipping against a window in the Leaky Cauldron.

"MATES! LOOK!" Gesturing out the window Draco and Harry spun to look and they too saw two other girls standing far back from where the red head was lying on the ground obviously in pain.

Draco stood unsteadily as Ron muttered a charm and Draco's mind cleared of the large amount of alcohol he had just swallowed. "Let's go." Ron and Harry followed Draco's swishing cloak in the black night and they stopped in front of the Leaky Cauldron. "Let's go now!" Draco pushed against the door but found it locked.

"Mate, first off it's after hours it's gonna be locked and we need a plan." Ron said reasonably. "My father is in there probably torturing my girlfriend!" Draco yelled as Ron paled at the thought and Draco remembered that Ginny was Ron's baby sister.

"Alright, now I know how to get in, I've done it before, Tom has a backdoor that you just have to tap your wand against a certain number of times and it opens, we find some uniforms and I can change our appearances slightly and we pretend to I don't know work there and I don't know but they'll let us in."

"How the bloody hell do you know about this?" Draco asked interested. "Uhm, well when ever I was mad or something at Privet Drive I usually came here or if I wanted to get away from Hogwarts for a bit of time..." Harry replied rubbing off his glasses on the front of his robes.

Harry grinned at the brilliance of his own plan and was already striding around the building stopping in front of a space of blank bricks. Pulling out his wand Harry explained that it was a swapping charm, so he switched around everyone's skin tone, hair color etc. After covering Harry's scar with Draco's hair (or hair color) Harry tapped his wand around the bricks in a rectangular shape, stepping back the bricks became a door leading into a small blank hallway.

Ron silently shut the door behind them as Draco opened a cupboard and found spare uniforms and mops. After quickly changing into the blue robes and grabbing a few mops and a bucket, they headed to where they believed they had seen Ginny, Rose, and Hermione.

Harry jammed his ear up against the door but heard silence. "A silencing charm!" Draco whispered; "I know the trick to undo father's charm." Quickly pulling out his wand Draco swirled it around the door muttering words Harry and Ron didn't understand.

"There!" Draco whispered excitedly. "Now all the charms around that room are disabled and let me tell you there were a lot." Harry rolled his eyes and knocked hard on the door.


Lucius looked away from where Ginny was lying curled up in a ball on the ground. Nott had Hermione locked in his arms and Crabbe was trying to restrain Rose but she wouldn't stop sobbing for Ginny.

"No one was supposed to know we were even here!" Lucius hissed. Walking over to the door he went to undo the spells but found them gone which was peculiar since only pure hatred along with a variety of complex spells could undo those spells; "It cant be Draco, if Nott did the silent memory altering charm to make him not suspect the Leaky Cauldron then it cant…" But he opened the door and found three men standing in front of him.

"Uh, right well we're here to clean up. Won't even know we're here!" The blonde man called Jerry said in a gruff voice.

Lucius blocked their way but Ginny recognized those green eyes any where. She began to sit upright but stopped as Lucius began to look at her. "What ever come in." Lucius waved them toward the other room adding a muttered afterthought." I'll just obliviate your memories later"

Turning his wand back on Ginny, Lucius yelled "Leave my son alone Blood Traitor! CRUCIO!" Ginny jerked in pain on the floor. Draco ran to her as fast as his legs would carry him, lifting the curse as he wrapped his arms around Ginny and Harry repaired their appearances.

"DRACO!" Lucius yelled. "GET AWAY FROM HER! I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THIS WEASEL!"

Draco stared into Lucius's cold eyes and raised his wand but Ginny stopped him, "You can't kill your father…" Slumping back into Draco's arms Ginny was unconscious. "I HATE YOU!" Draco stood spinning on the spot and Harry and Ron followed suit with Hermione and Rose.

"They got away…" Lucius sat down and put his head in his hands.

"Welcome to Saint Mungos, what is the problem here?" The receptionist asked in a bored tone with out looking up from Witch Weekly. "M-my girlfriend, she was tortured, mildly I think but still she's unconscious. That never happens when a person is tortured with the Cruciaticus Curse! Does it?" Draco answered nearly hysterical as Harry, Rose, Ron, and Hermione arrived.


Ooooh poor Ginny! What will happen to her? Only you readers can tell me!
