Chapter 8 - Malfoy Manor Once Again

I heard voices once again, hours after I had woken up. This time they were angrier and fiercer and I was more scared.

"Get up mudblood. You're coming with us."

I had no choice but to get up, they had wands and I didn't. It was Malfoy and Zabini again. They led me through countless hallways and doors and after five minutes I had lost track of where we were, but then I saw something familiar. I saw the dining room of Malfoy Manor. The place where I had once been tortured and the one place I never wanted to go again.

"Look familiar Granger? It should. If Aunt Bellatrix was still here, she would appreciate a little reunion in this place."

I didn't say anything, I was so tired and hungry and cold, even if I wanted to talk I couldn't have. Zabini and Malfoy threw me to the ground and called for someone. A house elf appeared, shaking with fear. They told the elf to get Lucius and Fenrir. I knew I was in for it now. After a few minutes of Zabini and Malfoy throwing rude comments my way, Lucius and Fenrir came in. Lucius looked disgusted with me, while Fenrir looked like he saw his next meal.

"Back for some more fun, mudblood? I'm always willing to play a game of cat and mouse." Fenrir's eyes raked over my body while he licked his lips.

Lucius just walked towards me, not saying anything, just looking down his nose at me. He pulled his wand out of his cane, and flicked it at me. Before I knew it, I was suspended in the air, floating and spinning. Slowly, he brought me closer towards him and I felt myself completely unable to move.

"Well, well. Ms. Granger. I see you're back with us once again. Now, I would like some information out of you. Don't worry, I'll kill you either way. But if you tell me, I might just make it a little less painful and might not torture you. But don't get excited, I'm not making any promises."

I tried to open my mouth to speak, but nothing happened. I was frozen.

"Tut tut, mouse. Give us some information about what the Order knows about the remaining Death Eaters." Fenrir was speaking to me now.

"I might just have to have some fun with you first, if you don't wanna tell us what they know."

I was still unable to move.

"Well, if you insist."

"RON!"

He apparated away before anyone could talk any sense into him.

"Okay, well we can't let Ron go alone. We have to follow him or he'll do something stupid." Harry was finally speaking some sense to the group.

"Harry, we can't just go without any sort of plan."

"Okay, well then I'll make one. Anyone who is over the age of seventeen is allowed to come with us. Good that's everyone. If you don't want to, you can stay behind."

No one spoke.

"Good, that's everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, can you call the right people at the Ministry in the Auror department to meet us at Malfoy Manor?"

"Of course Harry, dear."

"Good, stay here in case anyone comes back. Also, get some healers here and one or two with the Aurors who are going to meet us the Manor. Those will only be for the ones who are too injured to apparate. Everyone else, apparate to Malfor Manor. I think it's too late to petrify anyone. Kill any Death Eaters you come in contact with. If you cant, stupefy them and tie them up. They'll be going right to Azkaban. Once we're there, we'll find a way in, get Hermione, get all the Death Eaters and get out. Clear? Good. Now, I'm going to apparate and if you aren't all there within thirty seconds, I will be incredibly disappointed."

Harry apparated away. Everyone, aside from the Weasley parents, looked at each other and disapparated within five seconds of Harry. No one was getting on his bad side today.

When they arrived, they found no apparation wards up. Someone was expecting guests. They saw Ron running up ahead, and Harry running behind him. Harry sent a spell to trip Ron and barely hit him. When they all got together, they heard Aurors and Healers apparate behind them, made a quick plan, and were on their way. It was time to get Hermione home.

I lie on the ground. Fenrir was done with me for now, and Lucius had been torturing me off and on, giving Draco and Blaise a chance to try out what they learned in school on me, and they were talented. I had never been in so much pain.

"Mudblood, just tell us what you know, and this will all be over."

"Never."

"Well then, you're asking for more."

I felt fire through my body, scorching my insides and burning me from the inside out. I screamed just as loud as I did those few weeks ago, in the same spot, being tortured by the same family.

I had a sense of deja vu laying there screaming. I even thought I heard someone screaming my name, just like before.

No, someone was screaming my name. The pain stopped, and Fenrir and Lucius looked at each other, then at Draco and Blaise.

"Draco. Are the apparation wards up?"

"No, father. You told me to take them down for our party tonight with all of the other Death Eaters."

"Oh no."

The next minute, Harry, Ron, Kingsley and twelve other people came running through the doors, and spells were immediately flying.

I saw a red head come over to me, and I thought it was Ron. But the hair was too long. It was Ginny.

"Hermione, I'm taking you out of here."

"No, I want Ron."

"He is fighting to keep you safe, but that can only happen if we aren't here."

"I don't want to leave him."

"You'll see him soon, I promise."

"All right."

I felt Ginny's arms around me, and she shut her eyes as we were about to apparate. But we didn't move.

"The apparation wards are up. No one can apparate in or out now. Ginny what do we do!?"

"Go hide, I'm going to fight while asking Harry what to do."

She ran away, but I couldn't move. I was in so much pain, my legs didn't work. I felt two arms around me, picking me up and taking me away.

I turned to look at my savior, but I was met with ice cold eyes and blonde hair.

This was no savior. This was my enemy.
