A/N: This chapter took me a lot longer than I thought it would. I figured I'd write it in a night or two. It took so much longer than I had originally thought. Oh well, I think this chapter turned out alright. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.


Hermione held Jason in her arms tightly, her eyes drifting shut but she wouldn't dare completely fall asleep. She was afraid to know what would happen if she did. It scared her to think about waking up with Jason gone. For now, this style of sleeping would have to work.

When she head voices down the hall, she woke suddenly and looked around to see what was going on. Carefully, she laid Jason on the ground and covered him up with her cloak. She pushed her head to the bars of the cell and watched figures move closer to her. Two Death Eaters walked in, holding someone prisoner but they had his face covered.

They pushed the person into a cell and uncovered their face before leaving. When they walked out, Draco looked over at Hermione and chuckled before walking out. She suddenly looked over at the cell the person was put in and watched the person walk into the darkness of the cell.

Jason woke up crying suddenly and Hermione hurried over and picked him up and started to rock him slowly. She sat on the ground near the bars and held him close to her. He watched her and she tried to show him that she was happy knowing it would make him happy.

"It will be okay," Hermione whispered softly, cradling him in her arms.

"Yeah right," the voice from the other cell muttered, in a voice she recognized anywhere. She loved that voice but now she kind of feared it a little bit.

"Ron?" she asked in a whisper, moving towards the bars again to look out. "Is that you? Or is Draco playing some sick cruel joke on me?"

"I am the real Ron," he muttered, showing her his face and then looking away. "It isn't a trick. If he did, they would have made a fake Harry as well."

"Not true," she replied softly. "Draco is smart enough to know who I am closer to. I am sure all the Death Eaters know by now."

"How do I prove it?"

"Well let's see," Hermione sighed softly, trying to think of something that only Ron would know.

"Ginny, Harry, Fred and George are sneaking in here to save us. Fred and George have been helping you and Ginny out," Ron said softly, not looking at her. "Not to mention the girl I wanted to marry kept a huge secret from me."

Hermione froze and looked at Jason in her arms who was asleep again. "How did you find out?"

"Not from you obviously," Ron muttered, getting up and punching the brick wall. "You should have said something! At least the last time you saw me. Don't get me wrong, I am happy but I am so mad I had to hear it from Ginny."

"Ron, I am sorry. What was I supposed to do? They'll hurt him. Draco tortured me just trying to figure out the name," Hermione said, walking away from the bars crying as she held Jason. "Do you want him to die? I am sorry, okay?

"'Mione, I'm sorry," he whispered, leaning up against the wall as he listened to her cry. "I don't know what I've missed. All I know is that you keep it secret and it hurt to find out. I am so proud but so painfully mad at the same time. I am very sorry 'Mione. I love you so much."

Hermione continued to cry as she held Jason in her arms and lay against the wall. She loved him to, which was the reason behind everything she did. Her plan was to keep everyone safe in at least one little way. She didn't know what to do. This plan made Ron mad at her more than anyone. She would have rather told him when she wasn't in a cell; it would be a lot easier.

"My 'Mione, it is okay," Ron whispered softly. "I promise everything will be okay. I can't comfort you now but I wish I could. I'd give anything if I could."

"I think we can fix that," Harry's voice echoed through the room and Ron and Hermione ran to their cell doors. "Ready to get out?"

"Harry!" Hermione shouted, looking over at Harry twirling the keys around with Ginny standing behind him.

Harry laughed; unlocking Hermione's cell and she hugged him then hugged Ginny tightly. The girls chattered as Harry walked over and got Ron out and patted his back. Hermione looked over at Ron and stopped in front of him, tear stains on her face still from when she'd broken down.

"'Mione," Ron whispered, pulling her into a hug and then kissing her softly. "I love you and I am sorry. I overacted."

"Yeah, we will fix that one day," she replied laughing softly, kissing him again gently then looking at Jason in her arms. "Want to hold him?"

"Of course," he said softly, looking at Jason asleep in Hermione's arms. He carefully took Jason out of Hermione's arms and cradled him.

"So, what's our plan now?" Hermione asked as she looked over at Ginny and Harry.

"I am going to take Jason and run for my life and hope I don't get caught. I will be meeting you guys at the Burrow tomorrow," Ginny said softly. "We thought it was for the best if I took the little one and got away from here then meet up with you guys at a later time."

"Wait, what exactly am I doing?"

"You'll be fighting with Ron, Fred, George, and I. We need you so very much for this. You're wicked at casting spells and we need you," Harry explained and then laughed a little. "I mean we could switch Ginny with Fred or George if you want."

"No way!" Hermione and Ron shouted together and then laughing a little.

"Exactly," Ginny replied, laughing as well. "This is why I said I'd do it. I'll miss an awesome battle but I don't mind."

"Thanks Ginny," Hermione said softly, hugging Ginny tightly then giving her a smile. "I trust you to take care of him."

Ginny smiled and nodded before walking over to Ron and lifting Jason out of his arms. She pulled her cloak on and put the hood over her head. Carefully she cradled Jason in one arm and held her wand out and ready, just in case. She still needed to make it out of the place safely though she wasn't too worried about it.

"Be careful Ginny, please," Hermione whispered as Ron came up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't get hurt on your way out."

"I won't," Ginny promised as she walked towards the door then looking back at them. "Good luck. Please try to stay safe."

"We will Ginny," Harry promised then watched as she left their sight and Fred and George peaked in from the door. "Are we all ready to get this war over with?"

"Yes, for sure," Ron answered confidently. "Let's go get this over with."

The group of five walked together silently through the halls with their wands all out, ready to take on the Death Eaters and Voldemort.
