This is the conclusion of chapter 9 Enjoy!

This is told in 3rd person

James cussed softly as Bellina dropped out of consciousness. She had lost a lot of blood in a short amount of time and he partly blamed himself. This was why he didn't want any of the girls coming after Scorpius and Albus. Although he had to admit that he would probably be dead now if they hadn't. James spared a tied up Rodolphus Lestrange one fleeting glance before standing up with Bellina in his arms. It was near impossible to see through the smoke and the fire he had barely been aware of before was suddenly closing in on them. James only vaguely remembered where the door had been and it was impossible to find it now. Hoping things would just work out he stumbled in the direction away from the fire only to bump into someone almost immediately.

"James!" his cousin Rose never looked so happy to see him, but her smile dropped as she realized who he was holding.

"What happened to Bellina?" Swallowing his guilt James shook his head.

"No time for this Rose. We need to find the others and get out of here."

Rose nodded her head then pointed her wand into the air.

"Avis." Three small yellow birds appeared from no where and immediately took off in three different directions. Grabbing hold of James' arm she pulled him in a fourth direction while dissipating the smoke in front of her.

"Bellina had told us to escape but we couldn't leave the two of you. That and we can't get the door opened."

James cussed to himself. The only true exit from this room was the two giant doors at the end. Any other door led to nothing but small windowless rooms. Without a way to escape they would all burn.

"What about the death eaters?" A tall dark shape now loomed in front of them and James was able to make out three figures standing in front of it: his siblings and Scorpius.

"They disappeared."

Lilly was banging on the door rage all over her face.

"Deprimo! Deprimo!" Lilly's close ranged spells left two enormously large holes in the door in front of her. She gaped at it for two seconds before Rose was suddenly pushing everyone through the holes and down the corridor.

"Run!" she screamed without explanation. After years of learning that when Rose tells you to do something you should probably do it, the other four took off after her. The fire that had been started by Rose and controlled by Rodolphus had slowly been dieing out from lack of oxygen in the enclosed throne room. With two suddenly large holes in the door oxygen poured into the space feeding the fire and causing a rather large fireball to consume the remainder of the doors and chase the Hogwarts students down the corridor. A quick turn down a side corridor saved them from the worst burns and the possibility of burning to death.

"Bloody hell." Albus snarled. He had not quite made it around the bend when the fire had caught up and it had burned through his clothes and several layers of skin.

"Augumenti." Al hissed as his little sister soaked his wound. Rose and James stood nearby trying to stop the bleeding from Bellina's body with James' robe. She was in bad shape. Scorpius stood further down the corridor ignoring all of them.

"Shit." James rubbed wearily at his face as Rose managed to conjure some bandages. He watched as Lilly helped her wrap up the worst of Bellina's wounds.

"The next time you two disappear you're on your own." He growled at his brother. Albus didn't say anything. He looked tired and just a tad bit scared. While the fireball had been a instantaneous thing there was still a fire and they were still lost in these underground tunnels with the possibility of more death eaters around. Everybody was weary and if Bellina didn't get help soon she would die and James was not about to let that happen.

"Lumos." The sudden light from Scorpius' wand caused James to turn and walk over to him.

"What are you doing?"

Instead of answering Scorpius pointed to the ground. In the light of his wand a sparkling trail of powder disappeared down the corridor.

"What is that?"

"You mean you don't know? It's your uncle's invisible powder. Shows up only under a lumos spell. Rose stole his prototype."

James stared blankly at his cousin's boyfriend. Did he just say Rose stole?

"I forgot about that." Rose said coming up behind them, "I made a trail after the death eaters first found us. This'll lead us all the way back to the place where the tunnels split into five separate ones."

James stared at her in awe and amazement. It was official, without Rose Weasley they would all be screwed. Now he could understand when his father said that without Aunt Hermione he wouldn't have made it passed his first year.

"Lead the way Scorpius, Rose." He hurried back to Bellina and scooped her up. Her breathing was becoming shallower, "And let's hurry the hell out of here."

Scorpius led the way running down the corridor, his wand trained on the thin trail of sparkling powder. As they approached a corner Rose brought him up short.

"Homenum revelio." Rose only allowed him to continue when her wand glowed red. The chances of a death eater encounter was more then likely.

Ten minutes of hard running and suddenly Scorpius stopped short. A few feet in front of him was the archway that led to the clearing they had been aiming for. Along with the clearing were voices softly arguing. This wasn't good.

"Who's there?" Apparently their footsteps had not gone unnoticed.

"Shit." James mumbled. If it came to a fight they would be in deep trouble.

"Daddy?" Rose took two steps passed Scorpius toward the figure that was hidden behind a lit wand.

"Rosie?" The wand was lowered to reveal a much disheveled Ronald Weasley. He took a step toward his oldest child but was suddenly stopped by her wand.

"Rose?" Albus and Scorpius were staring at her in confusion but she ignored them.

"Professor McGonagall recently called me to her office to discuss a very important matter with me. What was it that she asked me and what was my answer?"

Ron looked confused for a split second before answering.

"She asked if you wanted to graduate a year early and you said no."

"She What?" Scorpius and Albus yelled.

"I didn't want to tell you." She said offhand. They stared at her incredulously. At that moment Harry Potter stepped around his best friend and wrapped his arms around his daughter sighing in relief.

"McGonagall sent us the message as soon as she received Rose's message. She tried to stop you but you were already gone." He explained as he hugged each and every one of them except James.

"Piers! Get over here. Bellina needs medical attention."

James sank to the ground, Bellina still in his arms, suddenly overwhelmed. To find help so suddenly was a little unnerving and James could see that he wasn't the only one that thought so.

Albus was tense, his fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly. Scorpius and Rose stood together, their backs pressed up against one of the walls. Lilly stood openly hostile, her wand gripped tightly in her right hand and the stolen death eater's wand in the other. Piers turned out to be a small weedy man, constantly pushing glasses up his nose. As he stepped closer James wrapped an arm tighter around Bellina and pointed his wand at the man.

"James?" His 'father' and 'uncle' stared at him questioningly before both of them toppled over in a flash of red light.

"Stupefy!" The man called Piers toppled over before he realized Rose and Scorpius had attacked his allies.

"Death eaters?" Albus asked quietly. Lilly shrugged.

"Does it matter? They weren't dad and Uncle Ron that's for sure."

"But what about Rosie's question?" Al protested.

"McGonagall never called me into her office. Though I have to admit that could have been a true scenario."

"So the answer to your question was 'she didn't'?" Al looked slightly horrified.

"Yes why?"

"That's a horrible question to ask someone if you're trying to prove if they're friend or foe."

"Not really. This man over thought the answer trying to make it fit with my personality. Dad's answer would have been something along the lines of 'McGonagall called you into her office?'."

James' head spun as he tried to wrap his mind around the pointless conversation going on.

"Um is there anyone else in that clearing?" Rose and Al looked at him startled. They had completely lowered their guard forgetting the exact situation that they were in.

"No. It was just these three." Lilly called from the entranceway.

"How did they manage to look and act just like our dads?"

"No time for that." James said getting to his feet. He checked Bellina's pulse before picking her up. Despite how long it had been since their fight with Rodolphus Lestrange she was still breathing.

"We need to pick a tunnel and get out of here."

The five students stepped into the clearing to face four other tunnel entrances. But before they could even open their mouths to speak, each one dropped to the floor, all hit with the stunners that had lit up the four tunnels seconds after they stepped out.

Oh No! Another cliffhanger...
