Chapter four:
When she was collected for dinner she heard, "That Lovegood was harder to capture than we thought." She heard one say.
"That's because she had Longbottom and that Weasley girl on her side and many other Gryffindors. We manage to get her though he will be pleased." Sierra's stomach dropped when she heard Luna say, "you won't get away with this." The men laughed and said, "We already did and you can go join Ollivander."
Then she heard them walk away and her escort pulled her away as well and she sat in her original seat as well as the others. Finally dinner was served and all ate quietly and Sierra was returned to her room. When she did she was able to her faint screaming from her room to the cellar and tried to ignore it while she finished up her school work.
Surprisingly after that night her break went immensely fast and before she knew it she left for Hogwarts with Professor Snape. When she got there she was pulled aside and was relieved it was Neville who asked, "How's Luna?"
Sierra sighed and said, "As well as she can be I guess. I was forbidden to go down in the cellars where she was located."
Neville nodded in understanding and then asked, "Where are the cellars?"
"Malfoy Manor." Sierra repeated quickly and Neville nodded and said, "C'mon we organized another meeting tonight to see if we can't over throw the Carrow's."
"Neville look I know I said that I was going to help but I shouldn't be able to hear the details of how just the details of what I am supposed to do so that I can't get anyone in trouble." Sierra said and Neville nodded approvingly. She continued, "I need to get back to my common room in case Malfoy sends out a search party for me I'll talk to you later."
"Okay, talk to you later Sierra," with that the two went their separate ways.
Once again the clan was unsuccessful on getting rid of the Carrow's they just clamped down harder on the Gryffindor's and known members of the D.A. Sierra had noticed that Neville and Seamus have been disappearing and reappearing a few times out of the day. Also she heard a rumor that they attacked Neville's grandmother who now was on the run and so far Sierra was not suspected in any of the pranks which was what the D.A had hoped for.
It was finally Easter Break and the teachers had piled on so much homework that Ginny, Neville and Sierra were found in the back of the library studying.
"I can't believe all this homework!" Neville exclaimed.
"I know it's like they don't want us to have a break when we're at home." Ginny said and Sierra nodded in agreement and said, "I'm tired of writing all these Carrow essay's the opposite of what they assigned I'm almost to the point where I might write what they are asking for."
"No, you can't because we need yours for reference since we now have the D.A doing it the same way." Neville said grinning and Sierra laughed.
"C'mon, I can't concentrate anymore and I'm going to get ready to go home tomorrow." Ginny said and the three packed up their books and left. When they did they ran into Malfoy who raised his eyebrow and said, "Aren't you supposed to be staying away from them?"
Sierra snorted and said, "Does it look like I care? I'll see you later guys." The two nodded and Malfoy started to walk with her and said, "I'm surprised they haven't thrown the Weasley girl into the cellar yet. She is the Weaselbe's sister."
"Well, they can't get rid of all the Weasley's now can they?" Sierra said walking faster and Malfoy alongside her said, "We're supposed to go to the manor over the holiday. Mum wants to make sure that we are all right and we are to continue our dueling lessons." Sierra sighed and said, "I'm sick of this why can't he just give up on me."
"The Dark Lord likes challenges." Malfoy said shrugging his shoulders and when they got to the common room they saw Snape waiting outside their door and he said, "You are wanted now at the Manor, they have unsuspected guest that need to be identified."
Sierra looked at him surprised and nodded and she and Malfoy went to his office and flooed to Malfoy Manor. When they got there they heard a blood curdling scream coming from the dining room and Sierra froze. Then she heard Bella shout, "DON'T LIE TO ME MUDBLOOD!" Sierra closed her eyes as she heard another scream from the victim and as they got closer they heard, "HERMIONE! HERMIONE!" Coming from the cellars and she recognized Ron's voice and she said, "NO!"
"Yes, halfbreed they have your friends and I will identify them if you don't." Malfoy said grinning and Sierra looked at them shocked and said, "Malfoy please." Malfoy just raised his eyebrow and Sierra walked in shakily as she heard Hermione scream again.
Then out of nowhere the curse was shot at her and she too screamed and Hermione said, "Sierra NO!"
"You are the mudblood then." Bellatrix said as Hermione and Sierra locked eyes then Bella shot another spell at Hermione and Sierra made her way towards her Bella said, "Lucus hold your sister until I'm through with this one."
"NO! HERMIONE!" Sierra shouted as her arms were tightened behind her back and Hermione was about to be given to Greyback and Ron shouted, "LET HER GO!"
Sierra relaxed and though, about time they figured out their friendship was more than just friends. Her head snapped back to reality as they all heard a squeaking noise above them and they all looked up to see Dobby loosening the chandelier and Sierra laughed a little and as it came down, Lucus pulled both Sierra and himself out from underneath it and held even tighter to his sister when Harry came and took both of their wands and gave Sierra a brief kiss and she kissed him back and she said, "Harry quickly." He nodded and returned to Dobby's side and as they apparated away Sierra saw Bella throw her silver knife and managed to grab part of the chandelier and the knife bounced down and hit the floor and Bella shouted, "CALL HIM! CALL HIM NOW! I WANT TO PUNISH THIS FILTH HE CALLS HIS GODDAUGHTER!"
"I think I should punish her Bella she is after all a werewolf." Greyback said slyly.
"My father will decide what to do with her Bella." Lucus said to her. "But for now until he comes she can be thrown into the Cellar."
Sierra's eyes went to lucus who only grinned at her as she was thrown into the cell by Greyback who said evilly, "We may see each other again soon."
Sierra shivered and sat against the cell wall and hoped that Bella would torture her instead. Then after what seemed like a few hours she heard a shout say, "ENOUGH! NO ONE WILL PUNISH HER BUT ME!" The Dark Lord had said and then she heard steps come down and he blasted Sierra against the other wall and tortured her well into the night.
"This my dear child is what your torture will be every time you disobey me." The Dark Lord growled and then said, "Snape, come heal her and take her back to school we need a Head student their but anyone else is not allowed out of this house."
Sierra looked at Severus who nodded to the Dark Lord and Sierra tried to stand but couldn't so Severus carried her out and to the hospital wing at Hogwarts. As soon as they arrived Madame Promfrey came in and said, "my word what happened?"
Severus just looked at Madame Promfrey and began to heal Sierra. "I need a few potions Madame Promfrey."
She nodded and brought them to him efficiently. The next morning Sierra woke up to a fine comforted bed and looked around and noticed she was in the hospital wing. She sighed and sat up in her bed and Madame Promfrey came to give her a good check and then released her. Sierra climbed out of the bed and walked into the corridor and Neville came up to her quickly.
"What is it Neville?" Sierra asked him and he said, "Ginny has gone into hiding so the leadership is with me." Sierra smiled at him as he finished and said, "I thought you were always the leader?"
Neville laughed as the two headed down the stairs from the hospital wing and he asked, "What happened to you over break?"
Sierra sighed and said, "I don't want to talk about it."
"All right when you do I'm all ears." Neville said and Sierra said, "Thanks Neville, without you here I don't think I would have been able to stand it. I'd better get going to the head dorm. I'll catch you later."
