AN: Here is the next update :)
Chapter 9
Harry/Ron
"I don't understand how they all can have disappeared!" Harry asked. The prisoners, mostly death eaters, in Azkaban had just disappeared.
"What I want to know is where they went." Ron said staring at a map of England. "Where would you hide so many people? That amount of magical energy is bound to show up on the charts."
"I agree Ron but we have other issues as well."
"Hermione?" Harry nodded.
"Yes Hermione I think we need to have an audience with her."
"And if she doesn't want to talk?"
"Then we wont do it as friends but as Aurors investigating a hospital where the lead healer just happens to be an old acquaintance. I'll go flu her and ask to talk." Harry said leaving the room. Ron watched him leave worriedly it had been so long since they had seen their friend. He had always regretted not allowing her to come with them on the last mission but it was too dangerous and good thing to I mean they had been betrayed.
FLASHBACK
"Harry, Blaise are you sure it was a good idea to leave Hermione behind. I mean we've been doing it more and more lately but she does most of the research." Ron asked as the three walked towards Knockturn Alley (an:sp?). The two boys didn't have time to respond as several more death eaters passed by the group.
"Ron not now it's too dangerous to talk we are already in danger let's not add to it." Harry whispered back. "Blaise you sure your friend has the Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw?" Blaise sighed impatiently.
"Yes I told you he found it at school and knew what it was. I contacted him and he said that he would be happy to lend it to us. Now we must hurry." Blaise said taking the lead and running to some houses. Harry and Ron shuddered thinking who in their right minds would want to live here. Blaise knocked on a door and as it opened, rushed the other two inside.
"Ah Blaise right on time and I see you've brought your friends as I requested." Harry and Ron gapped at the sight of the man in the chair.
"Blaise what!" Blaise smirked before walking over to the man. The man was holding onto a tarnished tiara in his hands he was twirling it in his fingers.
"Karkaroff it's good to see you again." (AN: I really cannot remember what happened to Karkaroff in the story and I do not have my books. So in this story he is still alive.) "You've been hiding well."
"Yes I have but all the fuss over this?"
"Yes I know now hand it over as agreed."
"Oh yes of course here you go Mr. Potter." The man threw the object to Harry. Harry didn't even flinch as the power of the Horcrux reached him. "Mr. Potter I am slightly surprised that you are used to such dark magic. Perhaps you are not so pure yourself?" Blaise sniggered while Harry and Ron growled.
"Thank you but we must be going." Harry said pulling Ron.
"I'm sorry Harry but I can't let that happen." The boys turned to Blaise in shock.
"You see, I never was on your team!" At that, the room exploded into spells as death eaters started to swarm into the room surrounding them.
Ron and Harry panted as they stopped outside of Grimmauld Place. They had just managed to escape the death eaters but had managed to destroy the Horcrux. Ron smiled in relief as he turned and ran into the door.

Hermione
Hermione sighed as she finished her rounds for the day. It had been a week since the "exchange" had happened and it hadn't been an easy week in the least. She also knew it was going to be a difficult couple of weeks coming up.
She smiled over at Lucius as she entered his room. He was talking to unknown so she waited. After a few minutes unknown left the room smiling at me as she passed. She made her way over to Lucius. "Hey how you holding up?"
"I feel fine!" Hermione smiled while rolling her eyes. She grabbed his chart and looked it over for several minutes. "Well what does it say?"
"Well the reason you feel fine is that pain medications. However your chart does say that you are now free to move about."
"Really?" She nodded "Very well I wish to speak to Andrew and Blaise."
"Of course let's go there now. Do you want assistance?" Lucius growled at the thought before trying to stand on his own only to crash to the floor.
"Not a word!" He growled out as Hermione tired to stifle her laugh. After nodding in acceptance, she summoned a wheelchair and helped Lucius into it. She got behind him and started to push him towards the head office.
"HERMIONE!" Hermione turned around. "Those aurors are on the flu they demand an audience. In addition, we finished administering the poison anti-dote and the healers are now returning to their jobs. I still cannot believe we pulled it off. Andrew is brilliant, only he would have thought of a way to empty a hospital…."
"I agree Angel." She said cutting her off. "And I'll be right down." The girl nodded before running back down the way she came. "Lucius?"
"Tell them nothing! You were stupid for letting slip what you did. Now push me to the boys!"
"Yes sir." Hermione said saluting before bursting into giggles at Lucius confused face. She opened a door and pushed him into the room. Blaise and Andrew looked up from papers at their entrance, Hermione still giggling.
"Hermione compose yourself!" Blaise demanded Hermione took a deep breath before calming herself down. "Lucius would you like a drink?"
"Yes please. Hermione are you forgetting something?"
"Oh yes the Aurors. I'll go take care of that." She paused at the door looking back at the three men. "What should I say?"
Andrew smirked. "You'll manage Hermione you always do." Hermione frowned and then made her way downstairs. She stopped outside the reception office before taking deep breaths and entered. Hermione looked over at the flu network only to see Harry's head.
"Harry?"
"Hermione can we talk?" Hermione was silent trying to come up with an excuse when Angel came up behind her.
"Andrew and Blaise say to not leave the country." She whispered into her ear. "Oh and also to tell you that the rehab program started today so don't bring them here!" Hermione nodded and turned back to Harry.
"Meet me at Speller Alley in 10min." Harry nodded before disappearing.
AN: Hey so sorry for not updating sooner. But I can't promise even when I'll be able to update again. But I will try to do it soon since my writers block on this story has been removed.
