Ron apparated straight into the Malfoy Manor and there he is greeted with the sight of Hermione lying on the floor with Bellatrix pointing her wand at an unconscious Hermione. An unadulterated fury surged through his veins before the occupants in the room realized the entry of an unwanted guest. Ron shouted, "Impedimenta" and it hit its mark.
Bellatrix wand shattered into pieces and a surprised Bellatrix thrown against the wall behind her with a loud impact causing her to lose her consciousness immediately letting out a loud shriek with pain.
Ron first time understood what Bill tried to explain from the beginning of the training that you have to mean it, to have maximum effect of the curse. He never meant any curse in his life as much he meant this one.
"Expelliarmus; Expelliarmus; Expelliarmus." Ron quickly took situation under his control as he disarmed Narcissa, Draco and Greyback and caught all the three wands in the mid air; he definitely didn't lose his quick reflexes as the keeper due to lack of practice. Lucius Malfoy raised his both hands into the air showing Ron that he is harmless and didn't have Wand.
Greyback charged towards Ron with a loud growl and before he knew it he is suspended in the air with a perfectly aimed Levicorpus spell from Ron. Ron released the curse and before Greyback hit the ground Ron shot him with Impedimenta causing the Werewolf to hit the wall with head first and the impact caused him to break his skull.
As Ron finished with Greyback a stunning hex narrowly missed his head causing Ron to roll onto the ground and he saw Wormtail rushing toward him. Ron quickly cast the jelly legs jinx which hit its mark accurately causing Wormtail to fall forward onto the ground and his Wand rolled out of his hand.
"Accio" Ron quickly shouted the spell and caught the wand and quickly casted a stunner which nailed Wormtail.
Ron quickly turned his attention towards the Malfoys who ducked under the sofa not wanting to get in between the crossfire. He rushed towards Hermione.
"Hermione, Hermione please get up, what happened to you? Please, please just open your eyes." When Hermione didn't open her eyes Ron turned his attention towards Malfoys and shouted, "What the hell did you do to her? I swear on Merlin this will be the last breathe you will be taking if anything happens to her."
Narcissa Malfoy quickly stood in front of her husband and son and said, "It wasn't us; it wasn't us, Bellatrix was the one who tortured her with Crucio. We didn't do anything, spare us; I can give you the Potion for quick recovery from that curse. She will be okay by tomorrow." Narcissa rushed towards the cupboard besides her grabbed a potion bottle and held out her hand for Ron to summon the bottle.
Ron quickly summoned the bottle and two glasses and poured the potion on equally and levitated it towards Draco who stood frozen on his spot.
"Drink it." Ron ordered Draco in a cold harsh voice.
"Me _me" Draco stuttered and Lucius who is a silent spectator until now interrupted.
"Now, now stupid Weasel boy, you can't order my_" Narcissa quickly cut off before Lucius did any damage with his words.
"Don't provoke him Lucius, it is your stupidity that led us into this. Now just shut your gob and be silent." She turned towards Draco and said, "Draco, drink it."
Draco finished it in one gulp. Ron waited for few minutes and poured the potion into Hermione's throat and gently massaged it until she swallowed the potion. He quickly lifted her up and summoned the sofa to his side and gently placed her on it.
Ron turned his attention towards Malfoys and pointed his Wand on them. Narcissa once again stood before her son and husband. She can see the fire in the eyes of Ron and she is absolutely sure the boy in front of her will not leave her husband and son without causing some permanent damage.
"We didn't do anything, Harry Potter is down in the cellar you can take him and other prisoners with you, don't harm us." Narcissa pleaded with Ron desperately to save her husband and son. She is sure he will not do anything to her.
"Oh really, you just stood there and watched a defenseless girl getting tortured and you want me to forgive you, your son is responsible for the death of Dumbledore and he is responsible for the Death eaters attack on Hogwarts last term, he is the one who is responsible for the scars on my brother's face and you want me to forgive you so easily." Ron said as the adrenaline pumped through his veins taking a step towards them as his wand emitted red sparks.
"If we stopped her we would have ended with her Wand on us." Narcissa said indicating Bellatrix with her hand. "And my son had no choice in that matter; he did everything to protect his family. If he didn't do as Dark Lord said he would have killed all of us without a second thought."
Narcissa's explanation did nothing but fueled Ron's aggression. "Then it is ok for you if the others die, it is ok for you if a mother lose her son, a wife to lose her husband if it means your family will be safe by killing them. Is it?"
"No, it's not like that, you don't understand what it is like to have your family on the crossfire and you have to do things even though you don't like them for the safety of your family."
"Oh, you are teaching me about having the family on the crossfire; you are teaching the man who is on the run with Harry Potter and who is from the biggest well known blood traitors family all over magical England. I know the feeling of having your family member on a deadly chamber accompanied with a huge Basilisk without much time and having to face your biggest fear to save your sister and do you know who is responsible for that? That is none other than your husband who put that dairy. I am not going to forgive your husband and son." Ron aggressively took a step forward.
Narcissa fell into her knees and begged, "Please just forgive them this once and I promise we will leave this country for good and never return, just don't hurt them."
Ron softened by seeing Narcissa begging on her knees, "Ok, I will not harm your son and husband but I am going to take away all your memories and you will forget all about your magic and your life here and transport to another country and you will be living rest of your lives as Muggles."
Lucius Malfoy shouted in outrage, "you can't do that you pathetic_" before he even completed his insult a flash of light hit his face. Ron used the same spell Hermione used on her parents and now he can only lift that curse.
"I would have given you much worse punishment than you ever imagine, but I am willing to cut it down because of you Mrs. Malfoy. You people hated Muggles and Muggleborns all throughout your life now live among them and live like them for the rest of your lives." Narcissa gave him a nod.
Ron pointed his wand to both the remaining Malfoys and performed the same curse and made an illegal Portkey to Egypt, the only place where he went in his life outside his country and transported three of them and wished at least there they lived like humans and not like selfish monsters.
Harry knew it is Ron as soon as he heard 'Impedimenta'. He can recognize Ron's voice anywhere, anytime. He felt like he didn't know what's worse, Hermione being tortured because of his stupidity or it is Ron who is saving them. As he heard every curse being shouted he knew Ron is winning. Within two minutes Ron swiped of all the Death eaters.
Beside him Dean said with excitement, "I knew you people would have got some backup plan as soon as I saw you are without Ron. I should have known catching Harry Potter is not only difficult, but it is impossible."
Dean's words did nothing but increased Harry's irritation tenfold. He answered it with a curt node.
Harry waited impatiently for Ron to come down to the cellar, as he is about to call Ron he heard the footsteps of somebody descending down into cellar and not before long Ron stood in front of them.
"Ronald, I know you will defeat all the Death eaters. Nargles must have helped you, you should thank them. They tend to get angry very quickly if you didn't appreciate their help." Luna told Ron as soon as he came. The aggressive expression on Ron's face changed to dumbfounded look and he stuttered,
"Wh_? I… I mean… yeah… thanks whatever…"
Harry rolled his and even felt annoyed at Luna's dreamy expression and zoned out face. Leave it up to Luna to comment on a situation like this.
"Listen everybody; let's get out of here and as soon as we are out you will be on your own and for your own safety don't tell anybody that you have seen me." Harry said even though he felt it is not right to leave them on their own, especially seeing Olivander who is looking like he might pass out and even Luna appeared a bit shaken up and has nowhere to go seeing her father is in Azkaban. But he didn't want to compromise with the mission and with more people along with will definitely cause more problems. He doesn't want to go into his 'hero saved the day' mode which caused him nothing but life of his loved ones.
But Ron objected, "But they can't go anywhere Harry it is really very dangerous outside, with their condition they will be captured again." Ron said indicating Olivander and Luna. "Let us take them to Bill and Fleur's place until they regain their strength." Ron said as he gave all of them Wands.
Harry felt his anger rise when he saw all others agreed to Ron's plan. He followed Ron grudgingly out of the cellar. As they reached to the room where Hermione was tortured and they saw her sleeping peacefully on the sofa and all the Death eaters and snatchers were tied by magical ropes. Harry wondered how Ron knows that spell.
Ron took a shattered wooden piece from the ground and performed a spell, "this is the Portkey, it will take you all to Bill's place." And he gave them the Portkey. Harry's jaw dropped to the floor when he heard Ron. He never thought Ron knows these many complicated spells.
Harry who is always a unnamed leader in these situations felt a bit put out and said, "You all go, Ron, Hermione and I will come in a bit." As soon as they all vanished Harry rounded Ron,
"It doesn't change anything Ron, Hermione and I are not going to come with you. We have bigger things to worry about." Harry said venomously.
"Don't act like an idiot Harry, Hermione needs lot of rest to recover. You don't have to take me with you, just stay in Shell cottage till she feels better, after she recovers you two can go and I won't stop."
"I didn't ask your permission Ron. We are leaving and that's final." Harry said and started packing all their which are taken by Snatchers.
"But Harry, just tell me what happened and how in the name of hell you people ended up here?"
"Well Hermione accidentally said You-know-who's name and the Snatcher's captured us." Harry lied knowing Ron won't let them to go if he didn't get his answers.
"But Hermione will never commit such mistakes; she is too good for that." Ron said with a surprise.
"You don't know her as much as you like to think Ron." Harry said coldly and he took Hermione's hand and dissaparated not wanting to listen to Ron anymore.
Ron felt as if Harry snatched his heart and dissaparated. He kicked Greyback and Wormtail's unconscious bodies repeatedly to vent his anger with no use.
He turned his attention towards Bellatrix and raised his wand to torture her the same way she tortured Hermione and restrained himself in the last moment. He didn't want to become a monster like them.
After cooling down a bit Ron gave some work to his strategic mind, he will show You-know-who the taste of his own medicine. He is going to strike back in such a way that You-know-who will not be able to recover again. Slowly a plan formed on his mind. Voldemort will definitely know the consequence of torturing his loved ones directly or indirectly. He dissaparated to Shell cottage, not bothering to untie the ropes of Bellatrix and other snatchers knowing that their boss will punish them for losing Harry from their finger tips. He left them for the mercy of Voldemort.
