Chapter 15
"Where's Harry and Fred?" She was calling. Sure enough, Harry and Fred were gone.
"Zey were here laz night!"
Fleur said. Mrs. Weasley looked in shock, Mr. Weasley was trying to comfort her. Ginny had silent tears dripping down her face. Hermione was shocked, she went to Ginny and gave her a hug.
"They could've killed them by now!" Ron said. Everyone looked at him, they were all thinking it but they were surprised that he said it. They heard someone coming down the steps towards the dungeon.
"What did you do to them?" Ginny yelled running towards Draco. He had a look of utter confusion on his face.
"What are you talking about you filthy blood traitor?"
"Harry and Fred are gone! What did you do?" Luna yelled at Draco, surprising everyone.
"What are you talking about?" He looked around the room. "Where are they? We didn't do anything to them! How could they have escaped?!" Draco dropped the bottles of water he brought and ran up stairs, locking the chain door on his way up the steps.
"He sounded sincere...." Neville said. "I think they escaped."
"They would've said something!" Dean chimed in.
"No because then we would be guilty and they could torture us for answers!" Cho said, a single tear slipped down her smooth cheek.
"That's true..." Percy said.
"So are they coming back for us?" Parvati asked.
"Who would've been able to get them out?" Padma questioned her sister.
"And not have helped us out!" Ron said, angry.
"Oh honestly Ron!" Hermione exclaimed. "You are the most selfish git!" She sat down against the wall, wiping tears away. "They could be hurt!" She said, her voice cracking. Luna and Ginny went to comfort her.
Five hours later, no word from Harry and Fred. Everyone was getting really worried. It was time to stand guard again for the night and Hermione and Ginny had that job. They were afraid that something would happen to them too so Seamus opted to help them out.
"So, how are things with you and Parvarti?" Ginny asked trying to make conversation.
"Ya know, good. I never thought we would get together... What about you two?"
"I love Fred."
"And I love Harry. I do hope he is okay..." She said, tears coming up into her eyes. Hermione tried to comfort her but only found herself crying.
"Psst!" Someone called from the stone steps behind the chain door. Hermione, Ginny and Seamus jumped. "Psst!"
Draco's mother was behind the door, calling them to her. Hermione jumped up right away but Seamus stopped her and went in front.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"I'm on your side! I helped Harry and Fred out last night. They are in hiding in Grimauld place. They are trying to get Kreatcher to come in here and apparate with all of you. You guys should come with me tonight, hopefully Kreatcher will come tomorrow..." Hermione, Ginny and Seamus were surprised, they never thought that Malfoy's mom was on their side.
"How do we know that your not lying ?" Ginny asked her.
"Well, you don't but please try and trust me... I beg you, I am on your side."
The three looked at eachother and nodded. They were on their way out of the dungeon when Cho came running towards them.
"Oi! I'm coming!" She said and walked along with them. They went into a room where Draco's mom grabbed them all their wands. She escorted them outside and as soon as they were off Malfoy Manor territory, they appeared to Grimauld Place.
Knock knock knock
Harry looked through the peephole and opened the door with excitement, about to hug Hermione and Ginny then stopped.
"What did we steal to help my godfather escape in our third year?" Harry asked, Hermione rolled her eyes and said.
"A hippogriff to help Sirius." Hermione said and then Harry hugged all of them in one hug.
"Harry, who is it?" A voice called from inside.
"Hermione, Ginny, Cho and Seamus!" Harry called back to Fred. The group heard footsteps running towards them. Fred hugged Hermione and then they kissed.
"Oh Hermione I am so happy your alright!"
"Oh hey brother, nice to see you too." Ginny said and walked right past Fred.
They settled in the living room and began asking questions.
"So what happened?" Asked Hermione.
"Well, same as you... Malfoy's mom decided to help us..." Harry answered.
"I didn't think that she had that kind of side to her." Fred stated, sounding surprised, amused and grateful.
"Well, when she found out I didn't let her son die, she I'm save my life." And Harry explained how in the Forest when Voldemort thought he was dead and he wasn't, Draco's mom acted as though he was because he saved her son.
"Hey, have you talked to Kreacher?" Cho asked Fred and Harry.
"Can't find him anywhere..." Fred said, they looked and couldn't find him.
"The plan is to find him and get him to apparate with us because for some reason, if it's just a person trying to apparate it doesn't work... If Kreacher doesn't get there by tomorrow night, Draco's mom is going to sneak more of us out. She just wanted to get us to find Kreathcer and than you guys because we told her you would be worried." Harry said. Hermione and Fred were sitting close together, her head on his broad shoulders.
"Why don't you tell the Ministry?" Seamus asked.
"Because, apparently they are under the control of Malfoy. If they saw us they would have to capture us or else Malfoy will kill 'em." Fred said.
"We can't let them get those weapons... But, they can't bring Voldemort back with the resurrection stone..." Ginny said, she yawned and slumped against Harry.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Hermione said and jumped up, nearly knocking Fred over. She ran up stairs and Ginny sighed.
"I hate it when she does that!" They continued talking and about 5 minutes later Hermione came running down the stairs, a big dusty old book in her hands. She parked by the fire and plopped down on her stomach and opened the old book and started reading. Everyone looked at her, amused and annoyed.
"Hermione, would you-" Fred started but was interrupted by her putting up a finger to shush him. A couple minutes later and she sat up, closed the book and threw it with frustration.
"What's wrong?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"Well, I remember something... Something about a trio of resurrection stones, that they could make someone come back if you used them..."
"Oh yeah! Mum used to tell us a story about that! She said it was believed to be a legend though...." Fred said a little disappointed.
"Yes, believed to be a legend but... One time when I was in the restricted section of the library, I swore I saw something about it! Only if we could go back and see all the books! They must be trying to get Voldemort alive, and they needed the Elder Wand."
"So... What do we do?" Cho asked her, afraid of the answer.
"Well, we need everyone back here... Then we need to get to Hogwarts and ask McGonigall about the books. Next, we see if I am right and if I am... Well I think we will have to try and get the stones before they do." Hermione said, she hoped she was wrong... She didn't want another battle.
"Surely they have already looked for it?" Seamus asked Harry.
"Yes but, the Forest is big, we can only hope they haven't found it yet." Harry said. He rubbed his temples. "I think I'm going to go to bed guys, if you see Kreathcer, you know what to do." He walked up the stairs to a room, Ginny got up too.
"I think I'll join him." And she walked after him.
"Umm, I'll look for a room to sleep in." Cho said awkwardly, she had never been to this house, just like Seamus.
"Cho, third floor on the right there is a nice room. Seamus, fifth floor at the very end of the hall there is a pretty good room." Hermione said, they went up to the rooms and Hermione sighed and later down on her back in front of the fire. She was laying on a red rug that was actually really comfortable.
Fred laid down next to her and kiss her cheek. "I love you Mia, and I am really sorry if I worried you." She kissed him on the cheek now.
"You did but, I forgive you." Now she kissed him on the lips, he kissed her back, one hand traveling up her leg, the other in the small of her back. They were semi siting up now. She wrapped both of her hands around his neck. Next thing they knew, Fred was on top of her and Hermione's dirty shirt was off. Next, he took his shirt off and threw it next to the fire, Hermione stopped him.
"Fred... Let's go up to the bedroom." He smiled and picked her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist and they ran up to the nearest bedroom and shut the door.
