Ok fine, I'll post now because I can't hold in the anticipation! -breaks own rule which is somewhat pathetic-
Here you go, now I swear not to post the next chapter for a day at LEAST... well I'll see what I can do Since I've been posting a lot, I'll try to stay away from the site all together until I feel it's right to post... that way I won't post the ending quickly and that way it'll be a surprise post time... (and when I want to post, I'll be checking for comments before posting, since I don't wanna break my own rule again).
Enjoy this chapter, I know you will

P.S: You might've noticed the change in colour Just felt like it...

Chapter 25
Fear

Draco and Hermione woke up the next morning, having fallen asleep cuddled together. The light entering the windows was their alarm. The Death Eaters didn’t come for the next while, but just in case, they both put each other’s binds back on. About an hour after they did so, both were dragged out of the dungeon by a Death Eater, gags put into their mouths.
“The look suits you, Granger,” the Death Eater sneered down at Hermione, who was on the ground with Draco. “Should’ve been done long ago.”
Draco swung his legs around, since they were bound, and tripped the Death Eater. They fell to the ground with a hard, solid thump on the stone.
“You’ll pay for that one, Malfoy,” the Death Eater grunted threateningly.
Draco just smirked. He got pulled viciously by the Death Eater, following suit with doing the same to Hermione. They were brought up some stairs, unwillingly hovered up each flight (Draco started hating the manor because of all the stairs by the third flight of being levitated). They were brought to the main floor and thrown into a room, one Death Eater watching over Hermione and one over Draco, since they knew of the attack being laid upon the manor.
The Death Eater that dragged the two left the room, slamming the door behind themselves. They four of them were in silence, the only movement being the wands of the Death Eaters being taken out and pointed at Hermione and Draco.
After a long while, the door started to creak open. One of the Death Eaters flicked their wand at the door, and an Invisibility Cloak was flung into the air. Standing at the door was Neville Longbottom, the last Draco and Hermione wanted to see.
He screamed and ran, grabbing his Invisibility Cloak at the same time. He ran to another room, leaving the Death Eaters cackling as they slammed the door shut.
Not even a moment later, the door opened again, creaking and groaning slowly. Another Invisibility Cloak was flung off, and ‘Loony’ Luna Lovegood was standing at the doorway. Before she could even raise her wand, she was flung out of the doorway and into the next room three hallways down. The door slammed shut again, leaving the Death Eaters still cackling.
The four were waiting for the next victim to show up. A few minutes after Luna was flung out, the door creaked open again. A third Invisibility Cloak was flung off, and Dean Thomas was found standing at the doorway.
“Where’s Harry?” Hermione tried to say through her gag, but it came out ‘air ’air’rr’rry’.
Dean seemed confused for a moment, but it was a moment to long. He too was sent flying to his doom along with Luna. The door slammed shut again, and the Death Eaters were cackling madly, wands back at Draco and Hermione. They all waited at least half an hour and nothing happened.
Bam! Boom! Crack!
The wall in front of them collapsed and fell to the floor below. Debris hit Hermione, scratching her face, and a few cuts appeared on Draco’s, but the Death Eaters were guarded by their masks. Behind the wall stood Harry and thirteen other members of the Order and previous D.A.
“You can’t beat us,” Harry said smoothly. “You’re outnumbered by at 11.”
The Death Eaters seemed to have rid of at least four group-members with one spell from each of them.
“Make that 7...” Harry mumbled under his breath, rolling his eyes.
“You fools, you can’t beat us. We’re stronger, better, more powerful.”
“Think again,” Harry retorted with a cold edge.
The Death Eater that guarded Hermione stuck their wand into her throat, causing her to gag momentarily as she was thrust to her right, side pressed up against Draco’s. The group’s eyes widened briefly.
“You wouldn’t...” someone said in the group.
“We would,” the second Death Eater said as they jabbed the wand into Draco’s throat. He gagged momentarily as well.
For once in his life, Harry saw a bit of fear shining in Draco’s eyes. Harry looked to Hermione and saw her eyes watering in a deeper fear.
“You walk away, and nothing happens to these two.”
Harry clenched his jaw and looked at the group. They looked just as shell-shocked as he was.
“If we attack?”
“They die.”

DUN DUN DUHHHHHHH...
I leave you all hanging at that. Will they die? Will they be saved and survive at the last possible second? Why am I asking all these questions?
All will be revealed... I'll try to stay away for at least a day, preferably two
Your authour truly,
