Thoughts

Mind Links (through tattoos)

I apologize for such a late update I didn't know where to go with this and life got in the way.

When Harry woke up the next morning, he smiled softly as he relished in the peace before a new day. He had woken up before his alarm and was content to lay in a half-asleep doze until it did go off.

When it finally did, he roused himself to full awareness and frowned; something felt off. He couldn't tell what, but it gave him a sick feeling to his stomach.

Harry double checked his belongings for any malicious curses or jinxes, finding none, he frowned again and went to take a shower.

Love, are you awake? He felt Draco's presence in his mind and smiled.

Yeah. Is there a problem?

A wave of anxiousness and fear flooded through the link from several sources; Harry almost fell over from the shock.

We can't find Ginny or Luna anywhere. They never went back to their dorms.

A chill ran down Harry's spine and fury filled him as he jumped out of the shower. He ran over to his trunk and pulled out the Marauders Map.

"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

Harry frantically searched the map, hoping for any sign of Ginny or Luna. Finding none, he tried contacting them through their tattoos; nothing.

They aren't on the map and they aren't responding mentally. It means they're off school grounds and unconscious.

Draco's reply took what seemed like forever in coming.

Or the headmaster has found a way to circumvent the map. Maybe they're trapped in the room of requirement.

Harry had gotten dressed at this point and had rushed to the common room. Hermione and Neville were already down there looking concerned and angry.

"Come on, I'm checking the Room. I need back-up just in case." The two nodded and followed him out of the portrait.

Hermione, Neville and I are headed there now. Ask Professor Snape if he can get anything from the bastard's mind.

After receiving Draco's acquiescence to his request, Harry set off at a brisk pace to the Room. He hoped desperately there was a way to find Ginny and Luna there if the two girls weren't there themselves.

As the doors appeared, the three Gryffindors pulled out their wands and quickly let themselves inside. Their eyes scanned the room, and as no trace of either girl was found, their faces fell in disappointment.

The room wasn't very full; there was a mirror oddly alike to the Mirror of Erised and a couple bookshelves not quite full of books. Hermione and Neville went to check out the books while Harry examined the mirror.

The second he touched the glass, his reflection seemed to swim out of focus and a new image began to take place. When it focused, Harry could see Ginny and Luna walking together at the end of a corridor in Hogwarts.

"Hey guys, come over here! I think this mirror can tell us what happened to the girls." Harry shouted excitedly, hoping to catch a glimpse of the people who captured his friends.

He touched the surface of the mirror again, and the image began to play.

The two girls were talking and laughing as Ginny escorted Luna to the Ravenclaw common room. As they rounded a corner, Ginny seemed to notice something out of the corner of her eye. Just as she drew Luna's attention to it and drew her wand, a figure appeared right behind them and hit Ginny with a spell that made her crumple to the ground. Luna turned quickly and shot off a stunner in turn.

It hit but Luna wouldn't leave her friend and was attempting to revive the girl, but another figure hit her with the same spell.

The image froze as the figure still standing turned and showed his face. Harry thought he looked vaguely familiar as he studied the features. The stunned person was definitely female he mused to himself quietly.

They were definitely kidnapped. Harry sent the message to the entire group and couldn't quite mask his anger at the thought.

"Okay, so we're looking for two adults, a male and a female, possibly working with a certain manipulator. However we can't confirm or deny they're members of the Order." Hermione began running through possible scenarios in her mind occasionally mumbling to herself.

Knowing what we know about Dumbles' plans; we can assume he was involved in their capture. Are we getting anything from the tracking charms embedded in the ink on the tattoos?

Harry was pacing in the room of requirement, while Neville and Hermione poured over the books that the room had decided to show them.

We're getting absolutely nothing from the charms and Severus says the old coot is acting exceptionally smug. Tonk's reply was filled with anxiety and frustration.

I want everyone to get to the ROR as soon as possible. Harry sent, wanting to punch something.

Draco got there first, rushing to Harry and wrapping him up in his arms. "We're going to find them Harry. Don't freak out too much; remember this can also help us against the bastard that did this."

Harry turned and nuzzled his face into Draco's neck. "I'm just so worried and furious. Those girls are practically family and the meddling bastard has gone too far this time."

Draco placed a chaste kiss on Harry's lips and pulled the two of them onto one of the couches the room had provided for the meeting.

None of the teachers or Aurors could make the meeting because they didn't want to make it seem anymore suspicious than a group of students missing class looking for their friend. Fred, George, Parvati, Patil, Bill and Charlie all joined the four already waiting in the room.

Two chairs were left empty, a somber reminder of why they were meeting.

Harry just let Draco start out the meeting as he was looking through the facts to glean any new information from what they knew.

"So we know Ginny and Luna were kidnapped by a man and a woman hired by Dumbledore. They also needed to know where they were at specific points in time so they could capture them while they're alone. We don't know for sure if the two people were in the Order and Dumbledore hasn't given any indication at all."

As the meeting progressed, with little progress actually being made; two girls were beginning to wake up in an unknown location…

Unknown Location: Great Britain

Ginny fought her way out of the darkness with a moan. Her head was killing her and she didn't know where she was. Luna was next to her and breathing, so that was good. As she assessed her surroundings, a peculiar feeling came over her.

They were in a cell in what looked like a dungeon, but since all dungeons practically looked alike, it was no indicator of where they were. Luna had yet to stir and Ginny feared she had been hit by a much worse spell.

From her initial assessment, the cell looked almost impossible to break out of from the inside and her magic felt weird so she assumed it was dampening her magic as well. As she frantically tried to figure out a plan, she heard footsteps echoing through the dungeons.

The footsteps were loud enough to jar Luna out of her artificial slumber. "Ugh, where are we?" she asked, disoriented and groggy.

"I have no idea; we were kidnapped on our way to your common room." Luna swore softly and violently.

Suddenly the cell door swung open and Ginny felt a rush of strength and despair; for the figure in the doorway was Albus Dumbledore and she was surely going to be used as a bargaining tool to get Harry "back under control."

"Well, well, well it looks like our two guests have woken up. How does it feel to be out of your darling Harry's protection? Welcome to Dumbledore Manor, you are located in one of the most remote parts of the northern English countryside." The sneer on Dumbledore's face looked nothing like the smiling grandfather figure he portrayed for the media and fear shot through Ginny's veins.

But with that rush of strength came a rush of inspiration and she used what strength she had left to broadcast a message:

Luna and I are alright. We're being kept in the dungeons of Dumbledore Manor. It's located in the northern part of Britain, very remote. Come quickly, he plans to torture us.

Luna heard the message and smiled dreamily, nodding to Ginny when Dumbledore wasn't looking. "Your little group has become a thorn in my side." He snarled angrily. "I cannot have you tarnishing my name, not when I'm so close to victory."

This time his smile was cold and cruel. "You will talk. It will only be a matter of time. If you do not answer I will torture you and then ask the other. One of you will break; you are only children after all."

Dumbledore spun towards Luna and pointed his wand at her. "What is the aim of your group?"

Luna seemed to deliberate for a second, then she stood up on shaking feet, turned to Dumbledore and spit in his face. She sat down as he recovered from the shock.

"Crucio"

Luna didn't scream for the first minute, and for the next thirty seconds after that, she just whimpered; but eventually the pain was too much and she let off a horrifying scream that made Ginny cringe and Dumbledore laugh with delight.

He held it for a little longer before releasing it. He wanted answers and they would not be granted death until he had them.

Meanwhile at Hogwarts:

Harry sat bolt upright in his chair as he received Ginny's message, he quickly grabbed a pen and paper as he wrote down the place where the two girls were being held.

This action seemed to snap everyone out of their shock and they all began talking at once.

"Enough!" Harry shouted. "We need a well thought out plan. We can't just barge in there and expect to come out with all of us in one piece. We need to know what wards are on the place, where it is, how many guards there are, etc."

Bill spoke up. "I could contact the goblins and get a list of all the Dumbledore holdings. They don't really like him and that overrides their dislike for meddling in human affairs."

Severus chimed in through the mind link. That sounds like a good plan. I have to meet with Dumbledore soon, so I can search through his mind a little more thoroughly.

"Knowing Dumbledore, he'd be arrogant enough to assume that the unidentified location would be enough to protect the girls. He would assume that everyone worships the ground he walks on, including the goblins; and that they would never reveal his secret." Draco stated softly.

Bill and Severus left the room and Harry snuggled into Draco to wait. Draco, recognizing the move for a plea for comfort, wrapped his arms around his beloved.

"They're going to be alright Harry." He whispered softly. "We're going to find them and then Dumbledore will pay for hurting them. This I promise."

Harry just snuggled closer, burying his face in Draco's neck. "I know, but I'm still scared for them." He whispered.

Draco, you were right. I've sifted through Dumbledore's mind and there aren't any malicious wards that we can't circumvent on the property. There are no guards and the cell has a magic dampening ward around it. Once Bill gets the location of the house we can go get them. Severus' statements soothed and motivated the students in the room of requirement.

They jumped up and immediately began preparing for battle. Potions were put in to pouches with unbreakable charms, cloaks were being pulled on and protective spells being cast. Harry was tense with suppressed anger the entire time and nothing Draco did would calm him down.

Finally, Hermione came over to try her luck. "Harry, I know you're furious Dumbledore took them but you need to calm down. You being furious right now will do nothing to help them and blind you when it comes time to rescue them. Remember you have a plan for bringing Dumbledore down and you need to stick to it for it to work."

Harry took several deep breaths and allowed Hermione's words to wash over him. "Yeah, I suppose you're right. But that bastard has to pay all the more for this."

Bill finally made it back and he was panting but grinning in triumph. "Did you get the location?" Neville asked quietly. He had been extremely quiet the entire time; but it was to be expected, Luna was his girlfriend.

"I got something even better, a portkey directly into the dungeons and then straight back here. Dumbledore won't be able to sense it with any of his wards."

The ten people clustered around the small object as Bill readied himself quickly. With a whispered Portus the group was whisked away to Dumbledore Manor.

When they landed, they took a quick look around. They were towards the front of the dungeons and figured the girls would be kept toward the back, in case they actually did escape.

It was obvious the dungeons hadn't been used in a long time. Most of the cells were filled with cobwebs and rusty chains; with just a small hint of old wards in the air. This was beneficial to them because the girls were heavily warded and all they had to do was follow the magic to that cell.

It didn't take long to find them and Bill got to work disassembling the wards. It took an agonizing 15 minutes and Bill was sweaty and panting, but the job was done.

Harry muttered a quick alohamora and the door swung open. He gasped in horror at what he saw.

Ginny was covered in cuts, some bleeding heavily, some just shallow; made with the intent to cause pain. She was ashen and her wrist looked badly broken, so did her leg. Luna was also ashen, but she was shaking from the after affects of the various torture curses she was subjected to. Each of her fingers looked broken and her left ankle was twisted at a funny angle.

Hermione took one look and backed away with a broken sob. Fred pulled her into his arms and led her away. Draco was pale, but he was also training to be a mediwizard s he pulled himself together and started administering potions to Ginny. "Harry come here and give these to Luna." He ordered, knowing that having something to do would help keep Harry from losing it.

All of the bones were properly set and most of the cuts and abrasions were healed. Once the two girls were stable and Luna's shaking had stopped, they were picked up and brought over to be portkeyed out.

Everyone touched the pocket-watch and they were transported back to the Room of Requirement. Ginny and Luna were laid on beds while the others sat around them, prepared to hold a vigil until they woke up.

End Chapter

A/N: Oh my god I'm so sorry this is so late; but writing this chapter was like pulling teeth. I really don't like it but it's been like 5 months since I updated and I think this makes things interesting. It's 2:12am and it probably sucks, but I sucked it up and tried to write it and I hate the ending….. so if you love it, great! There's a little button that says review!

Reviewers get a Harry Potter or Glee plushie of their choice while flames will be fed to the giant squid in my moat.
