Chapter Twenty

Hermione

It was Valentines day and with no more news on Lucius Malfoy each day that passed Narcissa had gotten less anxious and tense. She had been wound up like a spring for the longest time after the news had broken of his escape.

Anytime she was having a particularly anxious day I had insisted of taking care of her in every way possible and that included sexually. Seeing her opened up and splayed in front of me always filled me with this deep seeded need to fill her up to core, with what I had no idea.I just wanted to make her feel the opposite than he did.

Today was a Hogsmeade day and we had both been roped into chaperoning the students down to the village. In all my years of Hogwarts this is possibly the best way to wake up on a Hogsmeade day, in the arms of my beautiful girlfriend.

All blonde hair and long legs wrapped around me made me hornier than I even thought possible. I had started my period the night before and she then started taking care of me instead.

How would she react if I were to have my breakfast early so to speak. Luckily she was lying with her legs wrapped at my waist and was open and inviting. Trailing my hand down her torso to her impossibly small pair of black knickers and tucked under the waistband to find her slightly damp and sticky.

Clearly she seems to be slick enough and so without going near her clit I pressed one finger into her immediately. A soft flutter around my digit let me know she was starting to wake. Softly in and out of her I thrust my hand and almost instantly as soon as I added in the extra digit her hand clamped around my wrist and her bright blue eyes met my own.

Wide and alert she looked like a cheetah ready to pounce and before I could thrust once she lifted her leg so it was resting against my ribs and opened herself up wider for me. A soft grin playing on her face and she added pressure to my wrist making me thrust harder and faster.

Back arched and blonde hair splayed all across the pillow she looked like an angel, etherial, pure and sweet. Breath sucked in through clenched teeth gave me more reason to want to see her come apart under me.

"Some wake up call Hermione." It came out in stuttered gasps but I just smiled and lowered my body down the bed so my head lay on her inner thigh resting against the mattress and the other leg had her foot practically in my shoulder at this point.

Lowering my mouth I pressed a soft kiss just above her damp mound and a soft groan slipped out of the pureblooded witch. A soft trail with my tongue from top to bottom had her shuddering with my two fingers still gliding through her tight heat and I knew she was close.

After the whole squirting thing I had managed to do it to her again and again. It was the most beautiful, erotic thing I had ever seen and as I lapped at her folds and drawing patterns across her clit and sucked it into my mouth. I moved my hand faster as one of her hands game down to wrap her hand into my hair and grind against my face.

"FUCK MAYA!" Like a tidal wave she crested and as I lifted my head slightly I watched her stomach ripple and she felt like she was strangling my fingers in her slick channel. A gush of warm fluid hit my hand and I nipped at her inner thigh slightly before moving her tense legs away and down from my shoulder and dragged my ass up the now wet mattress.

A wave of my hand and the sheets were clean and dry under us again as she pulled me into her and kissed me as if her life depended on it.

"Mm...that was a lovely awakening darling. How I wish I could return the favour." I shook my head and told her this morning was about her and not me.

"Come let's have a bath. We don't have to be in the Great Hall until eight." She pulled the blankets away and stood up to walk to the bathroom. Her arse was exceptional and I lowered my shields to scream that at her and she threw a flirty smile over her shoulders before going through the doorway and out of sight.

Water running and some Eucalyptus oils floated through to me and as I stood up I noticed the pair of pants I was wearing felt wetter than usual and I really wished I could also partake. Standing at the edge of the floor tub she stepped down the steps with her long blonde hair tacked up on top of her head. She was a vision.

"Please join me Hermione." I nodded and peeled off my underwear as she turned her head to give me a bit of privacy. Instantly I realised how nice it was to be in a relationship with a woman. She just understands. As I stepped into the water I could feel my stomach muscles relax, she pulled me into her and held me close to her body before cleaning every inch of me.

Once my body was clean she rested me across her lap and her fingers disappeared in between my legs before I tensed. I was bleeding and truth be told I don't know how comfortable she is going to be incase I bleed all over her hand.

"I won't force this on you Hermione but I know you need release. I can give that to you if you want it." I craved her, that voice and her body. Everything about it seemed icky and wrong but I fucking wanted her so damn much. I slowly nodded my head and she smiled before trailing her hand across my cheek.

" I need your verbal consent Hermione. This is very vulnerable what you're doing. I need you to be sure of it and if you need to stop, tell me."I leaned forward and kissed her with as much love and passion as I had.

"I want it Cissa, I want you. All of you. Please." A soft kiss against my jawbone before her fingers slowly parted my curls under the water and glided over my most sensitive part. I always found myself more horny on my period which didn't make sense but now I understood why. I wanted her the most when I can't have her.

"Relax my love. I got you." She slipped a finger inside of me and the world exploded, suddenly she felt like she was touching part of my soul. I felt my magic fluttering all around me as she leant her forehead against mine.

"I love you Cissa!" I wasn't sure if it came out as a scream or a whimper, the entire world was spinning and she guided me over the edge and kissed my neck.

"I love you too Mon coeur et mon âme." A blinding white light echoed across my eyes and at first I thought it was my orgasm because I fell over the precipice as she pumped her hand into my body but as my eyes adjusted and the words stopped spinning I could see two white swirling lights float all around the bathtub.

"Oh my god!" She too was looking all around the room and at my words she smiled down at me in a way that should be illegal and her hand slipped from my body.

"You are extraordinary and I will love you until my dying breath. Of that I promise you." I loved being able to see the emotions flit all across her face at my declaration. We dried off and got dressed in preparation for the trip to Hogsmeade. Life was amazing.

The children so far were relatively content, we ran into Harry and Draco walking hand in hand around the village. Their relationship was the talk of the Daily Prophet and were hounded by the press for news on a wedding and their future. I could tell both boys were getting a little uncomfortable with all of the students now looking at them everywhere they went.

Harry had the respect of most of them and his Defence Obstacle course proved to be a big hit with them all and he had roped the other teachers into helping him. All in all things had been going well but he was becoming more and more reclusive. Choosing to stay in his rooms whenever possible so it was good to see him out and about with his new boyfriend.

"I have a few things to pick up before I meet you at the Three Broomsticks." Narcissa nodded her head at me before I gave her arm a squeeze and left her to supervise the heathens.

Truthfully I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings but as I bumped into a solid figure I could feel the distinct feeling of Apparation and as I landed on my feet I tumbled onto the hard wood floor of the Shreiking Shack. Why the fuck does it always have to be this fucking house.

Turning around I seen something I never thought I would have before but before, Ron Weasley stood at the door of the room and smiled at me in a way I didn't think I would ever see.

"Well done Mr Weasley." A cold voice broke the silence as a bony hand grabbed my wrist and a leather cuff of some sort was attached to me. The runes on the cuff didn't need any explanation as I instantly felt my magic die down all around me as if it had been doused with water.

"Miss Granger, pleasure to see you again." Lucius Malfoy looked horrid, granted he was wearing a fine robe and had his hair brushed before pulling it away from his face but the haunted look on his face was present.

"Wish I could say the same." He sneered down his nose at me on my knees on the floor before another shadow appeared from behind me and Fenrir Greyback appeared licking his lips as he made his way across the room.

"What the fuck Ron? Are you insane?" The redchaired idiot glared at me before walking over to me and dragging me up by the arm.

"You think I wanted this Hermione! We were supposed to be together, you and me. No, you had to go and slut yourself out to the snakes. Well you're mine now." Oh this arsehole has really lost the plot. He is three sandwiches short of a picnic as he dragged me over to the wall and flicked his wand causing wires to appear and tie me to the crumbling plaster.

"Time for pretty catch ups later so make yourself comfy Miss Granger. You have just become the perfect bait. Narcissa will come running. Oh yes I know all about it. Have you enjoyed fucking my wife? I have to say when Harry Potter came to Azkaban to advocate for her divorce I thought the Boy Who Lived was the one keeping my wife's bed warm but imagine my surprise when I discover he is degrading my heir instead." Has he been here all this time? Watching and waiting? The werewolf slowly came toward me and lifted a mall sliver of my hair and sniffed it close to his face.

"So Potter has bedded my son and from the interactions I have managed to see you seem to be having fun with my wife. So now you will bring her to me and I can get the answers I need." He lifted a letter from his pocket and handed it to a black owl which took off no doubt to inform Narcissa of my capture. I only hope she doesn't come, I can't imagine anything Lucius had planned was going to be pleasant for her.

" So let's have some fun shall we? CRUCIO!" Every single nerve ending in my body was on fire as he released the spell and smirked at me that looked entirely too like Draco and so I couldn't focus.

"Mmm...is that all you have? Felt like a fucking tickle Malfoy. Have you lost your touch in Azkaban? It's OK everyone has performance issues." He turned to Ron who was smiling at me in a way that turned my stomach.

"Mr Weasley, your turn." Ron didn't hesitate and brandished his wand, with so much hate in his eyes I felt my heart break. Even with the dosing of the Potions we didn't press charges and although his eyes were full of hate his Crucio barely stung.

"You're mine Hermione! MINE! CRUCIO!" An icy cold spread across me and burned slightly but felt even less painful than that of the Malfoy Patriarch.

"I am a lesbian Ron! I will never be yours." This just made him angry and I only hope Narcissa brings help because these three were insane.

-/-/-/-/-/-

I tried to settle my nerves but I felt this ache in my wrist that I honestly didn't know where it was coming from. I had been waiting at the three broomsticks for Hermione for ten minutes but a dread filled my veins. I need to find her. Feel her and know she is OK.

Standing I pulled on my coat and threw a few Galleons down to pay for the drinks I had ordered but didn't drink. As I made my way out to the courtyard I made my way to Severus shop to try there first. It wasn't overly busy and I could see Elena stocking the empty shelves and Severus ringing up a customer when my knees caved in and I heard a scream.

It took Severus running over to me and wiping my eyes to realise it was coming from me. It wasn't the most painful of Crucio I had ever felt but it was enough to catch my breath.

"Narcissa what is wrong?" I shook my head at him, I couldn't say it because it meant I had to acknowledge my fears that Hermione was in danger.

"Hermione...she is missing and I think Lucius is hurting her!" His eyes darkened in anger before holding me to him as another Crucio locked my skin, again not overly painful but I couldn't stop the whimpering escaping from my mouth.

"Professor Black are you OK?" I could vaguely hear Severus instructing the two Seventh year students to find the headmistress and alert the Aurors. They ran from the shop and as the pain subsided I felt my lip split open.

"Narcissa how is this happening? If this is happening to Hermione how are you being affected." Elena came behind me and handed me a pepper up potion before taking my other side and bringing me to a couch at the opposite site of the shop.

"Our souls are tethered, it must mean I can feel her pain too and vice versa. Severus I need your First Edition Runic Encyclopedia. I need to stop this connection temporarily and I think I know how to do it." He ran leaving me in Elenas hands as she held on tightly to my hand.

" What else do you need?" Before I could say anything the door to the shop opened up and Minerva walked in being flanked by Kingsley and the two Aurors he had with him. A black owl flew into the room before the door could close and dropped a letter in my lap. As it rushed back out the door Harry and Draco came rushing slipping in through it.

"Mum! What's going on?" Minerva gave them both a look like poison before pointing her finger in her face.

"I told you to go back to the school!" Draco just rushed passed her and apologised to the older woman before holding me close to him. My name written on the letter let me know who it was instantly. Prying open the letter I saw his writing on the Parchment.

'My dearest Narcissa, in case you haven't noticed by now I have your precious Golden Girl. Come to the Shack and I won't gut her like a fish and feed her to Fenrir. You my wife need a lesson in manners. Bring Draco and no one else.' The pain ebbed away as Severus came back into the room with the book I needed and I grasped it off him with a thanks.

It took me a minute before I took out my wand and drew the rune on the back of my hand. It would theoretically stop the connection for a while to allow me to get her out of there. I couldn't do that if I was afflicted with whatever they were doing to her.

"OK, I need to go get her." Everyone in the room looked at me as if I had six heads. I know what they are going to do before Draco nodded his head and helped me to stand.

"If you think we are letting you go there on your own your not as smart and I thought you were." Minerva had that steely determined look on her face and held my hand.

"Mr Potter perhaps it might be time to take out that wonderful cloak and put it to use." I began to shake my head, if anyone else came with me then she would surely be killed and most likely I would die too.

"I have a plan, Narcissa and Draco you head in first with Mr Potter under his cloak we shall linger outside the Whomping Willow until such time as we are needed." The panic and fear rushing around inside of me caused my hand to shake slightly.

"I can use my Occlumency shields to stay connected with all three of you. I still have Headmaster privileges so Minerva and I can apparate us all in when you need us." It was too risky, one wrong move and Hermione would be gone.

"Severus I cannot risk her life, she is my soul mate, my best friend and the love of my life. You know how volatile Fenrir Greyback is." He came over and pulled me close to him for a hug.

"That girl is surprisingly my friend too, I will not let them kill her Cissa, you will get your happy ending." Draco took my hand as we made our way out of the store, Severus had asked for Elena to stay behind but apparently she had her brothers penchant to run into trouble. Harry ducked underneath his invisibility cloak but not before kissing Draco and hugging me to him.

"Let's go see Daddy dearest." The rune on the back of my hand was doing a good job of distracting me from the pain but now I didn't know what they were doing to her which sort of felt worse. Lucius was not a gentle man and Fenrir Greyback was the most savage of beasts.

Walking closer and closer to the Whompijg Willow the nerves bubbled up to the surface. He has always had this power over me and I only hope I don't freeze up at his attentions. Draco squeezed my hand and brought me back from the edge of despair as the killer tree stopped moving and all three of us walked into a trap.

Slowly I could hear noises becoming closer and closer to us they were right above us but instead of two sets of footsteps, there were three? Who had they gotten to help them? Was the person upstairs a victim or an accomplice. I know they wouldn't let Hermione wander about so there had to be someone else.

A creak of a floorboard under Dracos foot echoed and caused the footsteps upstairs to freeze. A door opening on the floor above us allowed the light from it to filter through and down the steps. Ascending the last of the steps a shadow filled the doorway.

"Well, well, well. You actually came." Reaching the doorway I could get a good look at my ex husband. He looked like he has seen better days although his clothing was clean and he had obviously tried to clean himself up so as to present the same aura of a man he used to be.

"Where is she?" He stepped away from the entrance to the room and allowed us in. Having silenced Harry's footsteps wandlessly there was no indication he was with us but I could feel his presence behind me.

The room was dark with only a few candles lit and there was no sign of Hermione. I could feel Harry's presence behind me as he must have realised she was somewhere in the house because he touched me lightly on the back and left.

"Where is she?" Lucius gleamed a cocky smile before leaning casually against a half broken desk. A wand swirling around his fingertips and I recognised Hermione wand instantly.

"Don't worry I have a friend watching her. She is alive and will stay that way as long as you behave Narcissa. Honestly, a mud blood! When Potter came and got you a divorce I honestly thought you were fucking the Boy Who lived, imagine my surprise to find out it was my son, my heir becoming a faggot for that Gryffindor." He was insane, that was the only reason why he was ranting. Trying to assert his dominance and berade us at the same time.

"Imagine my surprise when another Gryffindor informed me that you Narcissa were actually the one who was bedding The Golden Girl." Another Gryffindor, did he have a spy in Hogwarts? Who would hate me so much that they would actually indulge Lucius never mind share secrets.

"You have someone helping you, who?" Draco looked at me abd it must have dawned on him before me because the growling voice that erupted from my son was one full of anger and hate.

"WEASLEY? It's WEASLEY isn't it?" The smirk on my ex hunldbands face spoke a thousand words. Ronald Weasley had betrayed his friends and had probably kidnapped Hermione from Hogsemade.

"What is he getting put of this? I mean your getting information but what did you promise Mr Weasley to agree to help you?" He pushed himself off of the desk and walked over to me before getting right up to my face and towering down on me.

"Oh Narcissa, the young man is heartbroken. Is under some delusion that you stole his girl and is very angry. He even dosed his own sister to get her to help him. It didn't take much convincing but he does get to keep the girl after we are done. How's does it feel to be the whore of a mudblood!" I allowed my lips to curl upward at his sneer.

" I would rather be her whore than your wife." He waved his wand at Draco which allowed my concentration to break as he fastened something onto my wrist. It was a leather cuff I recognised as the one they use for Azkaban.

Instantly my magic dampened from my core and I knew I was fucked. Draco had now been strapped to the wall and vines wrapped around me pulling me to perch beside my son. From the room above I could hear a loud bang followed by a growl and a scream that I knew was Hermione.

As I started to pull at my bindings they tightened around my wrists and ankles. Upon hearing Severus voice as well as Elena I could only hope they had gotten Hermione.

"I swear you can't even follow the simple instruction can you Narcissa. Time to go. I wish we had more time Draco. I will see you soon." Looking at my son I knew I was going to be separated from him.

Footsteps running toward the room made Lucius grab my arm and the last thing I seen was Hermione coming into the room with Kingsley I knew she was safe and Lucius whisked us away.

" Narcissa!" Her plea as Lucius took me broke my heart and filled me with Anger at the same time. I slowly lost consciousness with no fight left inside me.

-/-/-/-/-/-/-

After Ron's pathetic attempt at torture, he forgets I survived Bellatrix Lestrange. I was moved to a different room in the house and a Muffilato placed around us so we could hear out but no one could hear us.

"Why are you doing this Ron? Whatever they promised you, it's not going to happen. Do you really think three of you is enough to actually take on the Order?" The expression on his face was one I didn't recognise, he looked like a shell of his former self. Dark circles under his eyes, those once bright and loving blue eyes was filled with so much pain.

"I don't give a damn about the Order. Once Malfoy is done with whatever he has in store for his wife, we will leave Hogwarts and you will finally be free of that vicious Slytherin harpy. I can help you." He really has lost his fucking marbles.

"Ron, I will never be with you, never." He took two strides to reach me and yanked my hair back pulling my head with it as he whispered into my ear.

"We shall see." He roughly let go banging the back of my head as he did so. Greyback stood guarding the door and leering at me licking his lips suggestively. The creaking of floorboards below me alerted me to someone being here.

"Ron, please listen to me. It's not too late to do the right thing. Think of your mum and dad how much this is going to hurt them. They already lost one son don't make them lose another." He backhanded me and got right up in my face.

"Do not speak about Fred you selfish, stuck up bitch." His fist banging on the wall behind me made me nearly jump out of my skin, within seconds I heard a crash outside the door. Ron had his wand pointed at the door as Greyback stood up alert and slowly opened the door. As she peeked his head out an invisible force dragged him from the room and I knew instantly who it was. Harry.

"Come on out Potter. Stop hiding?" The door slammed shut and then the cloak came off. He glanced me over and seen my split lip, tremors and cut blood seeping past the bonds that held me to the wall.

"What are you doing Ron? If I am here you know what's going to happen to you. We were friends once, what happened to make you this person." Ron pressed his wand tight to my neck and smirked at Harry who was slowly advancing toward him.

"You happened to me, Harry Potter, the Chosen One. We should all bow at his feet. I'm done bowing to you. I am gonna take Hermione and we are gonna go." As my binds fell away I took the opportunity to punch him but unfortunately he has a quick reaction and grabbed the back of my head to slam me against the wall.

A scream echoed from inside my mouth and the door flew open as Minerva, Elena, and Severus came flying through and had Ron bound and gagged before anyone could say boo. Not even waiting I ran from the room and past a dead Greyback and a worried looking Kingsley.

My legs carried me down the flight of stairs and as soon as I ran through the doorway she flew away and out of the room in a cloud of smoke.

"Narcissa! No!" Harry came rushing in behind me and went to get Draco down off the wall. I could smell that familiar and comforting Eucalyptus smell she always leaves behind everywhere. I couldn't hear Harry and Dracos conversation.

Fat tears ran down my cheeks and my knees buckled, I was still shaking from the after effects of the Cruciatus. Harry and Draco came running over to me and knelt down beside me.

"Hermione, it's OK. We will find her. I won't let anything happen to her." They held me up on my feet as Severus came in with Minerva. I could see Elena dragging a bound Ron from the house with Kingsley behind her.

There was a whooshing in my ears and a pounding in my head, as Severus touched my arm I erupted in sobs and couldn't breathe. I couldn't feel her anymore, our connection since the first night we made love had always lingered in my subconscious. Now there was nothing.

"Come on Hermione." Severus lifted me off my feet and carried me from the shack to where two Aurors were levitating Greyback into a bodybag and Ron stood shackled beside Elena.

"You will never see her again you know. He will gut her like a fish and there is nothing you can do about it. How does it feel Hermione knowing you're precious girlfriend is once again at the mercy of her husband. Where she belongs." I didn't pay him any attention but in the next flash Ron was on the ground and Elena was flexing her knuckles.

"Why don't you just pipe down there Weasley. I mean you did all of this because the girl you like, likes other girls. Talk about pathetic and cowardly." As he grappled to his feet I pushed away from Severus with tears still streaming down my face.

"We might not be together now Ron, but I will find her, I will always find her and nothing and no one can come between us." Kingsley silenced him and took a portkey along with Greybacks body and away they went.

"Hermione, when you were taken Narcissa started to feel your pain. She had a rune on her hand she drew to dull the pain and allow her to confront Lucius. I was thinking the connection you share could we track her with it?" I shook my head at Elena who touched my shoulder in comfort.

"My fath... Lucius put a magic suppression cuff on her wrist so the rune would not be active. If I know my father he has some interesting ideas to make her hurt. We need to get you to apply it to you so your suffering from adverse effects if he tortures her. You're connection the two if you share will be active and you might start to feel her pain. As soon as that cuff comes off she will fight with everything inside of her. " I didn't want to do that, I needed to feel her pain in a way so as I know she is at least alive.

When I first started noticing the connection we had, it was almost like a beacon. I could find her if I needed too but now there was just empty and cold. If I could feel her pain at least I know she is alive.

"I can see the worry flooding into your head Hermione, she could be unconscious right now that is why you can't feel her. Do not fret, we will find her and bring her home alright?" It took everything in me to nod even if I didn't believe what he was saying. No one said anything else as Draco and Harry each took an arm and we made our way to the castle.

Hogsmeade at this point was like a ghost town, only a few lights were scattered around and not one person was in the streets. The trip back up to Hogwarts felt longer than usual but Poppy was waiting for me at the entrance hall.

She took one look at Draco and I before realising Narcissa wasn't with us. She shared a quick look with Minerva who ushered us all up to the Hospital wing.

"Take a seat all of you please." Harry stood between my own and Dracos beds with Severus pacing between the bottom of the cot. We were given Pepper Up, Salve for the bloody wrists after she cleaned them up and a pain relieving potion.

"All right I want to keep you both here tonight and before you start Mr Potter you will need to leave and give them some space." On the one hand I was grateful to the mediwitch for kicking everyone out but sitting in silence with Draco didn't seem all that favourable.

Harry gave us a hug each before practically being kicked in the arse by Poppy and left to go to his own room. As Severus and Elena went to leave the door popped open and Neville appeared with Luna behind him.

"These two need their rest so please out you pop." Neville came over and hugged me with Luna doing the same with Draco which seemed to shock him a little and in his clumsiness, Neville nearly kicked Elena over.

"If you wanna rub up against me Longbottom you might want to buy me a drink first." Upon seeing Elenas grin at my friend I couldn't help but think they would be a good couple.

"I'm sorry... I...I didnt mean..." He seemed nervous and I have known Neville long enough to know when he has a crush on someone. He has briefly met her two or three times but nothing more that that.

"This right here is not happening." Severus went to skulk away before Elena grabbed him by the arm and smiled.

"Daddy... I am a big girl. It's OK." I exchanged a smile with Draco before nudging Neville with my foot as he was standing at the bottom of the bed.

"Nev, why don't you show Elena the greenhouse." A glare from Severus and a beaming smile from Elena and the unlikely threesome left the room leaving me with Draco who was just about keeping it together. I could see the strain on his face and once Poppy disappeared into her storeroom I stood and walked over to the bed the Blonde Slytherin was perched on.

"Come here." I pulled him into me and and I hugged him close his breathing hitched and he let it all out. If you had told me a year ago that Draco Malfoy would be crying on my shoulder and I would be willingly conforming him I would have slapped you in the face. Now though, seeing him with Harry I could not imagine my life without him.

Getting to know him now and knowing he has all of Narcissas compassion and capacity for love was amazing. He is so far removed from the bully and enemy than he could get. I mean he was shagging Harry so he couldn't be bad.

"We have survived so much together Granger. I don't think I can do this without her. My fath... Lucius is going to pay taking her from us. We can figure this out Granger. You and me. We can find her." He pulled away from me with tears streaming down his face and he had never looked more human.

"How Malfoy? She is God knows where right now. This connection that we have is not there, according to the book and yes that is singular because that is all I could find on the subject. According to that we may even start to see what the other is seeing but that hasn't happened yet." He held my shoulders to stop my angry rant, for once he was the level headed one and I was the insane person freaking out.

"I know Lucius. I know him and he won't go somewhere he doesn't know. He would need a home pitch advantage. You know my mother and have this connection which I will warn you will open up again. You will feel her and we can maybe even track her." He sobered for a moment and let go of my shoulders before gently holding onto my hand.

" I meant to ask, how are you feeling about Weasley? I mean he betrayed you. Losing my mother is hard enough without finding you're oldest friend had completely lost his fucking head." I nodded to him and grasped onto his own hand and got comfortable cross legged on his own cot.

"Honestly I am not surprised. Ron has always had this mean, jealous and possessive streak running through him. I just feel sorry for Molly and Arthur. They have lost Fred and now Ron could spent his life in Azkaban. He used the Cruciatus on me. He could get life all because he is an idiot." Now it was his turn to comfort me and as he held me close to him I couldn't help but allow him to.

"Excuse me, you have your own cot Missy. Sit you're arse down on it before I stick you to it." Madam Pomfry was a bad arse. That was the only conclusion I could come to after getting to know her as a teacher. It makes sense seeing her with Minerva, both women don't suffer fools and that is why their relationship has blossomed over the past decade and more.

"Yes ma'am." She tutted and as I stood up I felt the legs go from under me and my cheek felt like it was on fire. A sharp crack in my ribs alerted me to the fact that Narcissa was awake and currently getting the shit kicked out of her.

"Aahhhhh..." I couldn't stop the pain as I felt a tremor of Cruciatus go through me. I could vaguely feel Draco helping me up into my own cot but beyond that it was just pain.

"What's happening to her?" For the first time Poppy Pomfry was at a loss for words. She took out her wand and cast a Patronus before sending a hurried message to Severus and Minerva.

"They have tethered souls so she can feel my mums pain. Heal her maybe it will work in reverse and you could heal my mum." Poppy got to work and healed what must have been a broken rib before healing the throbbing in my cheek. It was all for nothing as when she healed each injury another one took its place. A flurry of activity was happening all around me and Elena was standing with Neville. Minerva held tightly onto Severus hand.

"We need to get the book. The one Narcisaa used and get thst rune on her palm." I shook my head and as the pain slowly started receding I tried to sit up.

"NO!" Harry held onto my shoulder in what was both a comforting gesture and to keep me in bed.

"If I can feel her pain, I know she is alive. I think that Draco is right, helping me might be healing her. Think about it why couldn't it work in reverse, I think that's why he kept going for so long she was healing and he was pissed. The Cruciatus kept getting more and more painful." Harry took a seat beside my bed and held me as tremors wrecked my body.

" The connection is open again and I don't want to miss that feeling even if it does cause me pain. I have you and she is all alone. If she can feel me at least that way I am there with in some way." No one argued with me and everyone agreed to take shifts. Severus, Elena and Draco were going to do night so Poppy could do her job during the day. I don't need to worry as much, I can feel her and hopefully she can feel me.

Thank you everyone that's us at the end now so I hope you enjoyed it and I will see you all next time.
