Chapter 13

Ginny was looking at her brother Percy Weasley in shock 'Or I guess my ex-brother now, since he's trying to kill me, and I don't belong to the family…' she thought to herself wryly. She didn't think he would really try and kill her, actually now that she thought of it; it seemed exactly the type of thing he would do.

"So Ginevra, it seems that you're incapable of talking now. I suppose that has it's certain advantages, for one I don't have to hear your annoying little voice anymore." He said, sneering.

Rolling her eyes, she wondered if she should even answer such a stupid comment. Finally deciding it was probably in her best interest for now; she answered, "No, I haven't stopped talking you imbecile. Actually, I was surprised that the Dark Lord would even decide to take you to his lair, but I guess that anything is possible. For all I know you could've just bribed your way in by giving him something he would've loved to get his scaly hands into, if you know what I mean." She said, winking at him in a suggestive manner and completely disregarding the scowl on his face as he turned a shade of red that would make any award winning tomato proud.

Ginny noticed smugly, that he still had not recovered from her little speech and seemed to be spluttering incoherently. Wondering vaguely when he would finally pull himself together she done a mental victory dance. Though it seemed her little victory would be short lived, as her brother had managed to at least quell the colour rising to his face long enough to confront her again.

"Oh I bribed him alright, but I would never offer myself to him you whore, that's more like your job from what I hear, what with the three Slytherin's at your very beck and wanton call." He sneered in disgust before taking a step back and roving his eyes over her with hate and contempt. "But I gave him the Ultimatum, of letting him have you Ginevra. So I hope you have your fun with him, I hear he's a real treat." He said, smirking at her in triumph.

Ginny didn't let any emotion show across her face, but on the inside, she was wincing in horror and disgust. She was screaming and thrashing mentally, but outside, she was showing absolutely no emotion towards him. This didn't seem to be the reaction that he had expected or wanted because his smirk was soon replaced with a ferocious scowl.

Mumbling to himself angrily, Percy snapped his fingers twice. Two house elves popped out of nowhere and listened subserviently as Percy gave them instructions. Nodding once, they came to Ginny and let her go, much to her confusion. Her confusion didn't last long when she felt them put a spell on her so she wouldn't be able to move any part of her body, essentially paralyzing her.

Knowing that she wouldn't be able to move, with Elf magic on her, she sighed and hunched her shoulders, accepting her fate.

Noticing this, Percy smirked to himself, glad that she finally gave up, and was letting him torture her in peace. He was starting to get a bit tired of her fighting back all the time, it was just too tiresome, but maybe that's just him. The others it seemed were having a lot more fun with her than he was.

"Well done Ginevra, you've finally decided to come to your senses and just give up." He drawled watching her.

Ginny looked up at him and gave him the harshest glare she could conjure, one that would have surely made Voldemort flinch, but he held himself strong. If looks could kill, he would most certainly be dead by now judging by the look she was now throwing his way. Shaking his head, he realized she was saying something and tuned into what she was saying.

"…think, that I have given up and come to my senses you are the most stupid, impossible, most disgusting, scoundrel I have EVER met!" she yelled at him in a voice so angry, that it almost made him pity those who would be her next caretakers before she reached the Dark Lord.

Smirking at her, he didn't say anything, knowing that his silence would simply do more to irritate her than any answer he could give before turning on his heel and walking out as gracefully as possible.

Ginny was mad, no, on second thought, she was beyond mad. If he thought that she was just going to give up, as per his words, then he was completely delusional. In fact, she was just biding her time, playing the part of the defeated little girl, until the time was just right. She wanted to make him think that she was giving up, then suddenly lose her temper attacking and disorientating him in one fell swoop. Sighing, she shook those thoughts from her mind. Gryffindor's foolish bravery would not save her in this instance; she needed the cunning of a Slytherin.

Trying her wandless magic on the bonds holding her, she was seeing if she could get out of them, all she needed to do was find the slightest crack in the elf's magic and she would be able to concentrate her magic on that one spot; consequently overwhelming the elf's magic, enabling the bonds.

Feeling something retract slightly, she smiled inwardly, and kept working at it, paying close attention to the entrance for someone else who would be stupid enough to come in and talk to her when she was only minutes away from freedom.

Finally feeling her bonds weaken, she tested it by moving her arms a little. When she was able to do so, she grinned, and worked on the rest of her body, looking up every now and then, trying to keep her attention on the door and the loosening bonds.

Hearing the door creak open, Ginny stopped everything she was doing, frozen momentarily in place before stifling a slight gasp in shock and went back to the position she was in before she had tried to loosen her bonds, closing her eyes she prayed her breathing would slow to a normal pace, so as not to give her away.

Hearing footsteps come closer, she opened her eyes, and looked at Ronald with empty eyes.

"Well Ginny, it looks like you've gotten yourself into some more trouble hm?" he stated, conversationally.

Ginny didn't say anything; she just kept her mouth shut and her face void of emotion. Seeing this, Ronald gritted his teeth in anger, but didn't voice his concerns. Instead, he smiled evilly.

"Mum would be so happy to hear that you're getting punished. But, oh, you got disowned didn't you? Well, then, I guess she wouldn't really care whether you died or not, would she?" he stated, happily.

He was about to continue to verbally torment her when he heard his name being called, turning around he walked back out of the room.

Rolling her eyes, Ginny looked up to make sure no one else was coming, before going back to work on her bonds, being sure to pay better attention to the door while she was doing her bonds.

Feeling the bonds on her torso break, she grinned, and continued working on the other bonds that were currently restraining her. She now worked on her thighs, still paying attention to the door, though she was sure that nobody would be back for a little while yet.

What she didn't know, was that Severus had, had the exact same though as her and was currently trying to weaken his own magical bonds. Another thing she didn't know was that Draco and Blaise were getting ready to rescue her. She hoped they would come soon, she didn't think she'd be able to take on Percy, Macmillan, Abbott, the Golden Trio and Voldemort at the same time. There was only so much time before Voldemort would come and pay her a visit, and she really wasn't looking forward to that.

When she was able to move her body, she beamed in triumph. She would've yelled in glee, or squealed even, but she didn't want them to know that she had broken free of their spells. Bills curse breaker teachings has finally paid off! Thanks Bill! She thought in happiness.

Letting herself down slowly, she ran towards the entrance, and put her ear to the door to listen and see if anyone was near the door or coming towards the door. When she was sure she didn't hear any footsteps or voices, she put a Silencio spell on the door and then opened it slowly. Silently thanking Merlin that she had magic to make her escape so much easier.

Poking her head out, she looked around the corridor before she opened it wider. Leaving the room, she smirked in triumph and left the room.

Muttering a spell under her breath, she set a tracker on Blaise and Draco, and placed her hand in front of her, palm up. She waited for a second as a pale glow shone from her hand; directing her where to go. Following her glowing hand she hoped she would find her boy's soon, before anyone else found her.

Running down the hall, she moved as far in the opposite direction as she could; putting as much distance between herself and her would be attackers as possible. Ginny was able to feel her heart pounding in her chest in fear as she heard footsteps coming down the same way. She was even able to hear faint voices, yelling at her back, yelling 'stop her' and 'don't let her go through that door you idiot!'

Panting, she picked up her speed, feeling a stitch in her side as her breathing became ragged. Hearing footsteps coming toward her, she sucked in a breath, afraid that it would be the people who had kidnapped her, or even Percy.

'Well, that wouldn't be good if it were Percy.' She thought, panting slightly from all the running she was doing.

Slowing down to a jog, she looked for a place to hide, before bumping into something hard. Squeaking slightly, she fell to the ground, her neck rocking back and hitting the wall a bit harder then she would've liked.

Wincing as she felt a bump forming on the back of her head, she looked up to see who or what she bumped into; only to find Harry Potter looking down at her oddly.

"What do you want Potter? Come to stun me so I can't move? Well get on with it." she snarled, annoyed that he just looked at her in a weird way.

Shaking his head, he just gazed at her before helping her stand. But before he can even put his hand on her, she flinched away from her. Sighing, he said, "Ginny, I'm here to help you get out of here. You need to go before we get caught." He stressed.

Scoffing, Ginny looked at him disdainfully before getting herself up off of the floor.

"What makes you think that I want to believe you? You've never been nice to me Potter. You've always degraded me whenever Ronald and Granger were around." She growled out at him.

Sighing, he mumbled something under his breath, something that sounded awfully like 'woman, you can never understand them'. But she ignored it, and glared a hole into him, slowly getting angrier by the minute.

"You know what Potter! Just go away. Leave me alone and let me escape and get out of this hell hole." She snarled at him.

Turning on her heel, Ginny started walking the way she was going before bumping into something else and falling to the ground. God, why does this always happen to me? She thought looking to the ceiling in agony.

Looking at the person or thing she bumped into, she was shocked that she had walked into Blaise, one of the two people she had been looking for not moments ago. 'OH MY BLOODY GOD!!!' She thought, dragging out 'God' in excitement and happiness.

"BLAISE!!!" she squealed in happiness and relief before scrambling up off the floor and jumping on him and hugging him so tight he was barely able to breath.

"Can't breathe Gin" she heard him wheeze out, to which she immediately let go of him.

"Where, when? Where's Draco?" she finally asked him, unable to think properly; too happy and relieved that she had him with her now.

"He's coming, I saw him, and he was just a couple of paces behind me. We were just coming to look for you. We were about to put a locator spell out but then we heard voices, so we hid. When they disappeared we came out to investigate or well I came out to investigate more like it. Draco should be coming soon. And then here we are!" he explained, smiling at her happily.

I stared at him for a moment and stored his smile away in my memory forever, because this was the first time he had ever truly smiled since he had been with her, before, he would have only smiled around Draco, but now he was smiling a bit more, and it was all because her, this one girl; Ginevra Weasley.

'Speaking of Draco' He thought, looking around worriedly, 'I wonder where he is.'

Frowning, Blaise walked back silently to where he last saw his lover just incase any unwanted visitors happened to make an appearance, and looked into the alcove, but he wasn't there.

Mumbling something along the lines of 'stupid boy can't just meet me when I say to…' he went back a few meters and he heard Ginny follow him close behind. Making sure she was right behind him every few minutes, Blaise finally found Draco dueling fiercely with…

'Is that Bellatrix Lestrange?!' He thought to himself in shock.

"Well, well Drakie. How about you be a good lil' boy hand over your blood traitor girlfriend to Auntie Bella and I promise you that I won't hurt her one bit." Blaise heard Bella say in her annoying baby voice.

Rolling his eyes, Draco muttered something that no one could hear, before saying aloud, "Gee Auntie Bella, I didn't think you'd actually figure out that we're a couple. How's ol' Voldymort doing with that?" he asked, smirking at her, twirling his wand between the tips of his fingers; being sure not to drop it.

Blaise and Ginny could see her face turning a bright pink, her eyes flashing in fury. 'He's going to get himself killed with the way he's goading her,' Blaise thought in worry.

Without uttering a word, Draco silently sent a spell towards his crazy aunt, without her even suspecting it. Watching in satisfaction as the spell hit her square in the chest; Draco smirked as she howled in fury.

"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY!!! YOU WILL PAY!!!!" she screamed, so loud, Blaise was sure his ear drums would've popped.

Wincing from the loudness of her voice, Draco drawled, "That's too bad Auntie Bella, because you'll probably be dead before you even get your revenge on me. Would you like to know why?" he smirked at her, as her eyes just blazed on in fury.

Continuing on without letting her answer his question he stated, "Because you won't be able to get our Ginny. You'll be dead before you and your sick lover Voldymort can get to either of us." He smirked in triumph, and evilness.

Screaming in fury, Bellatrix sent spell after spell at him, in quick recession never letting up even for a fraction of a second. She was so furious could see it on her dace, he could also see she was losing her concentration and no longer carefully picking spells she thought would disarm him, but simply firing off everything she could think of. Soon after, her spells just got darker as the anger she was feeling grew. She finally just gave up and sent him the killing curse, hoping that he would not be able to dodge, so the curse could hit true.

Dodging her killing curse, Draco sent it back to her without hesitating. Seeing the bright green light hit her right in the centre of her chest, beside where her heart was, he watched as her eyes widened in shock, Draco smirked at her as he watched her fall down to the ground with a final thud!

When he knew she was dead, he slumped to the ground in exhaustion, and defeat, putting his head in his hands, his shoulders shaking.

Feeling two sets of arms go around him; Draco lifted his head to see both Ginny and Blaise hugging him from each side. Taking a ragged breath, Draco kissed both of them on the cheek and got up, with the help of Blaise.

Suddenly remembering something, Ginny's head snapped toward Blaise and Draco, a scared look on her face.

"Gin? Ginny? What's wrong?" Blaise asked, looking at her in concern, noticing her far away look.

Focusing on Blaise, Ginny whispered one word that froze both the boys in shock and fear.

"Severus."

D-G-B

Running down the dungeon corridor, Ginny murmured a locator spell so that she could find him 'I can't loose him. I just can't!' She thought to herself in panic.

Making sure Draco and Blaise were following close behind her, she followed the tracking spell carefully, hoping she would find Severus before it was too late. Turning a corner, she heard Blaise curse from her side before stopping abruptly, stopping her and Draco at the same time.

Glaring at him slightly, I wondered what exactly he had stopped them for when Severus could be somewhere in desperate need for help.

Deciding to voice my thoughts I said "What's wrong Blaise, Severus could be dying right now and you're just standing around."

Looking at him intently I watched as he cursed to himself once more before turning to me and Draco.

"I'm going to have to follow you guy's, go on Severus could be in trouble." He said staring back the way we had come.

"Blaise, what's?" Draco asked, speaking up for the first time.

"Not now Draco, take Ginny and go find Severus. I have something to deal with."

As soon as the last word had left his mouth he was already running back down the corridor they had come from. Looking at each other concerned Draco shrugged lightly before tugging on my arm, urging me forward.

"Come on Gin, Blaise is a big boy, I'm sure he can handle himself." Draco said comfortingly running alongside the redhead.

D-B-G

Blaise ran back down the corridor, in the opposite direction in which his loved ones had gone. Coming to a stop at the crumpled form of Bellatrix Lestrange, he stared at the body with a morbid sense of detachment. Lifting his wand, he wrapped her body in some wrapping paper and put a note on it, before he sent it off to Lord Voldymort. He put his wand away before walking away from the scene intent on catching up to Draco and Ginny as quickly as possible. He knew he hadn't been long so they couldn't have gone far.

Turning around again and running back down the corridor; he followed the trail he had taken with Draco and Ginny not moments ago, running until he caught up with them. He could hear their hushed voices ahead, and with a final burst of speed, he caught up with them; promising himself he would get rid of the body sometime later that night.

She felt Draco and Blaise running along side her, so she didn't pay any attention to them as she ran but paid attention to where the blue light was pointing her to; hoping she would find Severus.

D-G-B

Severus Snape was hanging from the chains tiredly; his body completely physically exhausted from some of the torture techniques he had been through. Not to say he hadn't been through worse in his life time, but torture of any kind really starts to take a toll on the body after a while.

Seeing if he could use his wandless magic to at least loosen the bonds, he thought 'I hope Ginny has been saved. I hope Draco and Blaise were able to find her.'

He continued working on his bonds half-heartedly, he knew someone would come eventually, he was just praying it was someone who didn't wish him bodily harm. He was able to feel the bonds breaking really slowly. Smiling tiredly, he continued working on them until he was able to feel them break. Then he fell to the ground in a heap of black robes and limbs. Closing his eyes in pain he was suddenly able to feel all the torture that they had inflicted upon him especially the crucio's, now that he was actually trying to move separate parts of his body. He noticed his arm give a small twitch and suspected that their might have been some mild nerve damage done throughout his stay.

Hearing the door slam open, he lifted his head up slowly, and saw three people in the entrance. Not being able to see who it was, nor caring, he let his body slump to the ground his head hitting the ground with a small crack. Wincing in pain he was able to crack his eyes open a little bit. 'Well, that'll bruise in the morning' He thought wryly.

Feeling a pair of arms circle around him, and lift him up slowly he was sat upright to get him into a more comfortable position before being laid back down with his head in someone's lap. He looked up to see a pair of familiar sparkling brown eyes that he knew all to well.

"Ginny?" he whispered, before closing his eyes and giving into the ever creeping black darkness.

"Severus? No, please don't. Please don't die on me!" she whispered, tears falling freely down her cheeks.

Hearing her voice cracking, Severus struggled to open his eyes to tell her that he loved her before he went into unconsciousness, and to not worry about him.

"Gin, I love you. I always will love you. I…" he took a deep breath, "I will be alright, and Blaise and Draco know how to take care of me." He whispered closing eyes for a second to regain a second breath "You know Gin, you're the only real daughter I've ever had." He closed his eyes again before he slipped back into the underworld of darkness.

Ginny felt arms go around her body as she shook in fear and sadness and anger. She didn't know what to do, she wished that she knew how to heal, but she didn't even have her wand to do basic healing spells on him. She wished she even had her wand, but she felt so helpless.

"Gin, we'll get him all fixed and better. By the time morning comes, he'll be good as new. Don't worry, please don't worry. He'll be safe. You both will be safe." She heard Blaise whisper into her ear, with Draco whispering soothing words in French in her other ear.

But before she could continue, she heard voices at the other end of the entrance. Looking up into Blaise's eyes in fear, they all got up, with Draco and Blaise each holding on to Severus, and got out of the room as quickly as possible.
