-Chapter 15-

It was nearly dusk before Harry and Ron came back to the Burrow. Molly greeted them at the fireplace, shaking with anticipation.

"Harry…Harry please tell me something. Anything!"

A crowd gathered around the two men.

"I told everyone about the encounter last night, although Malfoy Manor is the most likely place she could be it's not for certain. Last anyone knew the Malfoys own other property all over and the Ministry has to know for sure before something is done. Robards doesn't want Ron and me out looking with the others because he says we're too involved. Tomorrow Narcissa will be summoned to come in for questioning and we'll be there for that…"

"Questioning?!" Bill thundered. "Fuck questioning! Go to Malfoy Manor, kill anyone who gets in the way and get Ginny, it's not that difficult!"

"Trust me, Bill, I suggested that but we don't know how many Death Eaters are guarding the Manor or where in it she is being held. We literally have nothing to go on except a general location."

"Where's Hermione?" Ron asked.

"Outside with Luna and two of Ginny's Quidditch mates," Percy nodded to the door.

Ron and Harry left the sitting room where Bill was yelling about how he himself was going to Malfoy Manor and Percy and Charlie were attempting to restrain him from Flooing out of the Burrow. Luna was sitting in the grass, her light blonde hair shimmering. Hermione was lying down with her head in Luna's lap, Aislin and Willow were sitting facing Luna. Harry knelt down beside Luna and Hermione sat up.

"Let me guess," Hermione said, pulling her knees up to her chest, "the Ministry wants to follow some ridiculous protocol and wait until they know for sure and all that rubbish."

Harry sighed. "Basically, yeah."

"Then we've got to do something. Harry, we have to." Hermione shook and Luna held on to her.

"Narcissa is going to be brought in for questioning first thing tomorrow morning. Ron and I will be sitting in on it. We'll figure out what to do after that."

"I still say we use Draco."

"Hermione we can't break into Azkaban."

Hermione growled. "Why not?"

Ron knelt down next to Hermione. "For the love of Merlin have you completely gone off your rocker?"

"I DON'T CARE, RON!" Hermione yelled as she stood up. "My fiancée is missing at the hands of Narcissa Malfoy and I will do whatever it takes to get her back. Do you hear me? I do not care what it takes, I want her back."

"Hermione, I understand. Do you forget that she is my sister?"

Harry and Luna whispered to each other and the blonde got up and went inside.

"We're going to get Ginny," Harry stated rather nonchalantly. "The three of us."

"Um, Harry, Shacklebolt said…"

"To hell with what he said, Ron. Since when have the three of us ever followed any sort of rules? We've gone through more than anyone in that damn Auror department and you know it."

"Yeah and we had loads of help, mate! There towards the end it wasn't just the three of us."

"Well then we'll come with you!" Aislin said as she stood up.

"And Charlie, Bill, and George sound like they'd be willing to come as well," said Willow when Aislin pulled her up off the ground. Willow walked over to Ron and he slipped an arm around her waist.

"We can't tell Percy," Hermione said. "While you were gone all he talked about was how the Ministry would handle this brilliantly and he'd turn anyone in who didn't comply. Bill shoved him in the broom closet for an hour or so, even Audrey was sick of listening to him."

"You're all serious about this, aren't you?" Ron said.

Everyone nodded.

"What do you say, Ron? Or are you too old for it?" Harry smiled.

"Well…we need a plan, don't we?"

Bill, Charlie, and George came out of the Burrow and walked over to the group.

"When do we leave?" George asked, twirling his wand in his fingers.

"I can get a nasty Chinese Fireball up here by tomorrow night. He's a teenager, hasn't been tamed yet. Really hormonal."

The group couldn't help but laugh.

"Thanks Charlie," Harry said. "We should have a definite plan though."

"I've got an idea," Bill said. "Of course any of it could go wrong at any time but I guess we're all used to that by now, aren't we?"
