The week droned on slowly. Hermione had no visits, not even the Minister or any extra Aurors. Hermione would eat her usual small portion meals of dried bread and fish then sleep it off in her dirty cell. She was allowed one five minutes shower every two weeks. It did nothing to clean the stench of rotting food and dried blood from her clothes and her hair was still a tangled mess. But finally the week passed and Hermione waited anxiously to see the plan she had no idea contained unfold.

As she sat there thinking of what the plan could possibly be, the guard announced that the Minister was there to see her.

"Whatever," grumbled Hermione.

Kingsley walked in and marched up to her.

"You're coming with me," he said grabbing her arm roughly.

Hermione's eyes flashed dangerously. "I'm not going anywhere,"

Kingsley ignored her and pulled her towards the door of her cell. Hermione struggled but Kingsley was able to get her out of the cell and down the hall.

"Need some help minister?" asked one of the guards.

"No, I'll be fine,"

"Let me go!" Hermione snarled. Kingsley ignored her and led her to his office in Azkaban. He sat down in a chair and stood behind his desk, hands behind his back and a vacant expression on his face.

"What the hell did you want Minister?" Hermione spat the name.

"I thought you'd want to get out of here," said a voice from the shadows. "But I could always have him lead you back to your cell if you like," Narcissa stepped out of the shadows.

"What the fuck? Aunt Cissy, how did you pull this off?"

"I'll explain it back at the manor, as soon as he gets Lusius. Now Shacklebolt, go fetch my husband," Kingsley turned and left the office. The two women were quiet the whole time he was gone. Fifteen minutes later he returned with Lusius, who was full of rage until he spotted his wife and niece, which shut him up and left him speechless.

"Now Minister, make this convincing, lead them out," Narcissa flicked her wand and Kingsley walked up to Hermione and Lusius and dragged them out. Narcissa placed a disillusionment charm on herself and followed.

Kingsley led them down the hall and out to the boats of Azkaban.

"Minister, what's going on?"

"I'm sending these two to the Ministry for questioning about suspicious activities,"

The guards looked confused but accepted the Minister's answer. Kingsley was able to get them out to the boat and Narcissa took of her charm.

"Very well done Minister, now get us to the boundaries so we can apparate." Narcissa ordered, "Then wait for my next instructions."

"Narcissa," Lusius tried but shushed him.

"No questions until we're back at the manor," she barked.

Kingsley was able to row them to the boundary and Narcissa handed Lusius and Hermione their wands, which she collected from the office.

"To the manor now!" The three of them apparted, leaving Kingsley in the boat alone.
