Chapter 19: The First Battle

“I can’t believe that he would be that stupid.” Ron said in complete amazement. “I mean, didn’t they teach him not to keep all of his eggs in one omelet?”

“Don’t you mean ‘Don’t keep all of your eggs in one basket’?” Hermione asked giggling.

“Whatever.” Ron said exasperated. “That is not the point. The point is, why would he leave another Horcrux in the Malfoy’s possession?”

Ron, Hermione and Harry where standing in a hidden room in the basement of the Malfoy Manor. They, along with the rest of the order, had decided that the best place to look for the final Horcrux would be in the home of a known keeper of dark objects, including one of the Horcruxes. Neville, who had inadvertently found the secret room had run upstairs to let Moody and the rest of the Order know about the room.

“Maybe because Malfoy was supposed to hide them and then after Harry defeated Voldemort as a baby he just never got around to it.” Hermione said musing over the possibilities.

“Draco always said that you were too smart for your own good, mudblood.” The thick and lazy drawl of Lucius Malfoy interrupted their conversation.

Hermione, Harry and Ron whipped around in surprise at the sound of his voice.

“Oh this will be such a wonderful comeback for me. I fell out of favor with the dark lord because of you, you know.” He all but spat, “Now, for me to not only escape from Azkaban on my own accord, but also to protect his precious soul and deliver his enemy to him. My victory will be sweet.” He smiled and laughed manically as though he could already taste the victory.

“You know, Lucius, I didn’t think that you were in Azkaban long enough to lose your mind, or was it already gone before you got there.” Weak, Harry knew, but he had nothing else.

His statement however, apparently struck a nerve. Lucius sent a killing curse Harry’s way. Harry narrowly jumped out of the way in time. Instantly there were various spells and curses being sent back and forth through the room.

“Why is no one coming?” Harry yelled over to Ron, who he realized was writhing in pain. Sending a stunning spell at Lucius, effectively disengaging the Cruciatus Curse and knocking Lucius backwards. Harry looked over and realized that Hermione was completely rigid, probably being hit with Petrificus Totalus. “Finite” Harry muttered under his breath, causing the charm on Hermione to break.

He turned back in time to see Lucius grabbing Ron by the scruff of his neck holding his wand to Ron’s head, a victorious look on his face. With out thinking of the consequences, Harry pointed his wand at Lucius and bellowed, “SECTUMSEMPRA!” His spell hit Lucius squarely in the chest, causing him to let go of Ron before he was able to stop the affects of the curse.

A look of pure hatred on his face, Lucius screamed out, “Expelliarmus!” with such force, that it knocked all three backwards causing all of them to drop their wands, “Accio Wands!” He shouted triumphantly. “Incarcerous” Suddenly the three were bound tightly in ropes.

He reached up and tenderly touched the blood on his cheek. Shaking his head at Harry he said, “You used that one on my son, didn’t you? I wouldn’t think that pious Potter would have it in him to use such a curse, it really should be an unforgivable one, don’t you think so?” He taunted Harry, who remained silent, starring stonily at him. “Answer me!” He yelled, silently using the Cruciatus Curse on Harry, causing him to knock over the three of them who were all bound together.

“I will be right back for you three.” Lucius growled, remembering about his face. He threw their wands on a desk in the corner as if to taunt them and slammed the door shut.

“I don’t think he knows about the rest of the Order being here also.” Harry whispered immediately after Lucius had left the room. He could hear the rain spattering on a small almost none existent window above him. He looked up sighing, knowing that they would not be able to escape through it, “unless we were ferrets.” The thought instantly jumped in his head, and with trouble he stifled the giggle.

“I don’t either, besides we didn’t hear any commotion, and we certainly would have, what with Moody being here.” Hermione agreed, not noticing Harry’s battle of wills.

“It is a good thing Neville left to go get everyone, he is the only one who will know how to get back in” Harry muttered. “I wonder why no one came with all of that yelling.”

As if on cue, the door slammed open and in walked Moody with an unconscious Lucius floating in front of him. “Worried?” He asked in his most debonair voice he could muster, throwing them what he thought as a very Lockhart-esk grin. To Harry, however, it just looked like a very painful grimace, and judging from the looks on Ron and Hermione’s faces, they agreed.

“Uh…not at all Moody.” Harry began, giggling. “We are just surprised at how swiftly you were able to catch him.”

“The idiot walked right past me when he came waltzing in, didn’t even see Tonks and me.” He said chuckling. “Luckily, Neville knew how to get back into here.” He said patting Neville on the back.” He broke the bindings and tossed them their wands.

Harry jerked his head up as he felt a touch on his shoulder, realizing that he had been lost in his thoughts again. Not saying anything, Hermione just smiled and motioned for him to follow her.

“Hurry up kids!” Molly yelled.

Harry looked up to see that the group was all kneeling around the portkey again. Running, he dove and touched the monitor right as activated.

“That was close.” Harry said with a sigh of relief as he landed.

“Yes. A little too close.” Lily said through pursed lips.

Harry looked around, “Where are we?” he was surprised when he didn’t see the expected Burrow. Comprehension finally dawned, and he realized where they were. “Why are we here?” he asked. Suddenly, he realized that the whole group was no longer there, it was just him and his parents. “Where is everyone? Why are they not here as well?” He asked his father.

“We got word from Dobby while we were at the Quidditch match that Dumbledore wanted to meet us here right away.” James said as he made his way through the huge oak doors of Hogwarts.
