Chapter twenty-six
Ginny wandered down the stairs to see Harry and Ron sleeping on there couches, empty bottles and chocolate wrappers everywhere. “Boy’s are so messy” She grinned walking to the kitchen, and helping herself to a glass of water. She paused hearing the sounds of footsteps and turned around thinking it was Harry or Ron.
The glass fell to the floor smashing on the tiles, as her hands went to her mouth in shock and she backed towards the counter.
“Now there’s no need to be scared” the voice whispered,
“What do you want?” she thought about her wand upstairs on Hermione’s bedside table.
“Are you that naïve you don’t know?”
“Enlighten me” she drew her strength thinking about the boy sleeping just though the door.
“Well it’s you if you must know”
She moved her hand behind her searching the counter top for a weapon; she couldn’t shout he would stun her before they would wake up.
“And now don’t tell me… I suppose you’re planning to use me to get to Harry?”
“Who’s a clever girl?”
“Why not take him now, he’s sleeping he’s helpless, what are you afraid of?”
“I do not question the Dark Lords orders, get the girl, he said and this is what I’m here to do”
He moved forward and she grasped the handle of what felt like a pan while watching his wand.
“So you think Harry’s stupid enough to try and find me?”
“Were counting on it actually” He smirked, his eyes baring into her, glancing over her body.
“I can see why Potter went for you, pretty little thing now aren’t you, grown up a bit and became quite attractive for a Weasley”
“Were just friends, he won’t come after me I’m just Ron’s sister”
“Some one’s telling porky pies, you’re forgetting what happened in the chamber of secrets when you were just his best friend’s sister” He grinned, and stepped closer his wand now at her throat. She held tightly on to the handle gripping it as his breath landed on her neck. “But now you’re his girl, and I don’t think my master would begrudge me having a little fun with you” He closed his eyes in a moment of weakness, his hand on her forearm, his lips brushing against her neck as she struck him over the head with the pan using the other arm. He fell to the floor at her feet, “Harry, Harry!” She shouted, still standing the saucepan firmly in her grip in case he got up.
He woke up and ran to the source of the noise wand drawn to see Draco Malfoy on the floor, and Ginny standing over him saucepan in hand shaking profusely. He ran straight towards her pulling her into his arms and removing the pan from her grip. He pointed his wand at Malfoy tying him up in ropes before leading Ginny to the couch avoiding the glass on the floor. “Ron” He shook him, “Get up”
“What? Why?”
“We have an intruder?”
“What?” He groaned, still half asleep,
“Malfoy has come to pay us a visit”
Ron shot up and looked around the room, Ginny on the couch Harry looking at him. “Where is he?”
“Knocked out in the kitchen” Ron looked round the corner and saw the body on the floor,
“How did he get in?”
“Will have to ask him when he wakes up” Said Harry; he looked at Ginny she was still shaking.
“What did he do to you Gin; if he’s laid one finger on you I’ll kill him”
She shook her head, “I hit him before he could… he said he wanted me… they where going to use me to get to you”
Harry turned away, and Ron went up the stairs banging on Hermione’s door. “You need to come down here, we have a problem”
******
Draco was placed in a chair, his wand in Harry’s hand as they sat around the room watching him. His eyes flickered, showing signs of life when he opened his eyes fully, before struggling and trying to get out from his ropes.
“You’re not going anywhere” said Harry coldly sitting directly in front of him.
“You think you can keep me here, they’ll send others to get her and me, that’s what happens when you join the club” He laughed,
“I thought we could just use you for information and then dispose of you; I think the order could find you a nice cell in Azkaban”
“How thoughtful of them”
“That’s the order, me on the other hand, how do you feel about pain?”
“You may have killed aunt Bella, but you won’t kill anyone else you don’t have it in you”
“Who mentioned killing, I was merely suggesting the use excruciating pain”
Draco looked around the room, seeing the emotionless faces of Ron, Hermione and Ginny looking back.
“You don’t have the guts to perform an illegal curse”
“There are plenty of others to pick from” He pointed his wand at Draco’s legs and whispered indistinctly.
He cried out in pain, Harry moved his wand away, “Wasn’t that nice, it’s like white hot daggers isn’t it?”
Draco’s face was screwed up and red.
“What’s next?” he smiled through gritted teeth,
“Why don’t you try and redeem your self first, like tell us how you got in?”
“It was simple, I waited”
“How long have you been hiding around the school?”
He didn’t reply, Harry pointed his wand and another cry of pain escaped his lips before Harry repeated the question “How long?”
“A few day’s had to wait for the right moment” he smirked, “I couldn’t get to her if you were spending nights in the room of requirement now could I”
“So you’ve been following them” Said Hermione,
“You always were too clever for a mudblood” he laughed but it soon faded away when Ron got up and punched him on the side of his face then holding his wand to his chest said, “I dare you to say that again”
Draco spat out blood on the wooden floor before turning to face him, his white blonde hair in his eyes and crimson blood dropping from his cut lip down his chin, “You finally bagged her then Weaselbee, what’s it like screwing a mudblood?” Ron wacked him again, his nose bleeding now and he lifted his head to look at Harry. Hermione got up and pulled Ron away leaving Harry still standing there.
“So you all want to be aurors do you, interrogating a prisoner”
Harry laughed, “Your spot on there death eater, seems are occupations have been picked out so you better be ready for what’s to come next”
“What you going to do tickle me to death?”
“I think Alastor Moody will make you cry more then laugh, and when Voldemort finds out you’ve failed he’s not going to give you a big hug, and welcome you back with open arms especially after your first failed mission”
Draco looked away uncomfortably for a second, and then raised his head smiling
“Just you wait, he’ll get her and then you’ll be finished”
“Neither you or him will get near her”
“I already have, look at her, sitting there shaking. She knows he’ll get her and there’s nothing either of you can do”
Harry raised his wand and closed Draco’s mouth. He stopped the blood running from his nose so he could breathe, before grabbing the back of the chair and pulling it with Draco still on it to the door. He looked at his watch, “four am, lets take him to see McGonagall” he raised his wand again the chair floating in front of him, he held Ginny in his other arm as the four of them made there way to the head mistresses office.
*****
They stood waiting at the gargoyle, Draco sat unmoving in the chair, his mouth magically sealed his eyes darting around in there sockets. Ron knocked on the door; Hermione stood wand raised at Draco, with Harry and Ginny next to her. He still held on to her and didn’t look like he would let go anytime soon, but his eyes darted between Draco and Ginny and his wand was pointing at his back keeping him immobilised.
Professor McGonagall sat in the head masters chair, glancing through papers in her tartan robe and looked up at the sound of knocking. “Who is it?”
“We caught someone who wants a cell in Azkaban” said Harry,
She pulled out her wand and opened the door cautiously to the faces of her four pupils, and a previous student. “Mr Malfoy, welcome back” She walked back and sat behind the desk as the four came in bringing Draco with them.
“Could you tell me what has gone on tonight?”
“He came here to take me, so that Harry would come after me and they could kill him” Said Ginny quickly looking at the floor, “We were all in the heads dorms and I went down to get a drink, I turned around and he was just there…he came at me with his wand…he tried too…but I hit him with a saucepan before he could”
“I tied him to the chair, when she woke me up and then we questioned him. He was waiting for the right time to take her” his eyes never moved from staring at Draco, “He’s been in the school for a few days without notice”
“I for one would like to know how he got in, could you remove the spell so he can talk”
Harry nodded and waved his wand,
“Mr Malfoy”
“Professor” He sneered,
“How did you get into this school?” She questioned and he smirked in reply,
“You think I will tell you?”
“I expect you too”
“Then you expect too much and are disappointed”
“What did Voldemort want with Miss Weasley?”
“I do not question my master’s plans”
“No you just help ruin them” Said Harry,
“Shut it Potter, what do you know?”
“A lot more then you obviously, im not the one being captured and questioned”
“Just like I told the trainee aurors, he’s going to get her whether it’s me or he uses someone else, you can’t stop him and it’s either join him or die”
“What’s in it for you this time Malfoy? You don’t do anything unless there’s something in it for you and that’s why you couldn’t kill Dumbledore”
“Im just following orders” He grinned and looked around the room as Professor McGonagall stood up and went to the fire, placing her head in the green flames she called out to Willow Jacobs.
“Yes Headmistress”
“We have a death eater in our midst, he has been caught and is in my office, we need to secure the school and inform the order without alerting the ministry”
“I will wake the other heads of houses, ensure a complete lockdown and get on to the order. Is the prisoner dangerous?”
“He has been taken care of by our most able students, he is not a threat but there might be others coming”
She nodded, “I’ll be in your office in ten minutes”
“Thankyou” McGonagall pulled her head out of the flames,
“Harry, I think Miss Weasley might need to use the hospital wing”
“Im fine Professor really”
“You won’t be when the Dark Lord’s finished with you” laughed Draco cruelly; Harry couldn’t help himself and sent a bolt of red light at Draco’s stomach, his face screwed up in agony.
“I’m sorry Professor”
“I think it can be allowed under the circumstances Harry” She smiled slightly, “Mr Weasley, Miss Granger, as the heads of our student body, I need you to support the teachers, are you alright to do this”
They nodded simultaneously, “Good, then when Professor Jacobs arrives, you will assist the other members of staff” She turned to Draco, “You will be escorted out of this school, away from your fellow death eaters and given what you deserve for fighting on the wrong side of this war”
“And what’s that” he smirked,
“Interrogation and imprisonment”
“Im looking forward to it” He smirked, before his mouth was sealed by the professor.
“Mr Potter” he noticed the change from Harry and looked at her directly, “Yes professor”
“Have you finished the task Dumbledore left you?”
“No, my main concern is Ginny at this point in time”
She nodded as Ginny looked up at him worried, and Professor Jacobs knocked and entered.
“The school is secure; the prisoner is to be escorted by myself and if you would allow it Mr Potter” Harry looked up at her, “I wish to speak to him” she looked at Ginny, “But he will be back shortly to take care of other things”
McGonagall nodded and stood, “Miss Granger, Mr Weasley there has been a change of plan, and I’ll ask you to take Miss Weasley to the hospital wing, then back to your dorm, change the password and do not leave.”
They got up and all went to go. Harry pulled Ginny into a hug and smiled reassuringly a smile that faded as soon as she left. He took out Draco’s wand and handed it to Professor Jacobs, “This is his” he then pointed his own at Malfoy and the chair disappeared, he fell to the floor still tied up and was levitated by Jacobs, Harry following behind as they left.
“Where are we taking him?”
“A secure location, guarded by aurors”
“Prison ran by wizards not dementors”
“Exactly and it’s not on an island”
“How are we getting there?”
“Portkey from the hogshead”
They made it to the entrance in silence, before she spoke, “How did you know I was related to Albus?”
Draco looked back at them trying to see the resemblance between her and the man he was supposed to have killed.
“You have the same eyes as he does” he stared directly at Draco who was staring at her.
“Didn’t you notice Malfoy, I thought you of all people would recognise Dumbledore’s eyes when you saw them after all he was looking at you as he died” Draco turned to face the front again.
The professor smiled, “He was a great man and you are extremely loyal to him”
“He is a great man, who will only be gone when those who are loyal to him are as well”
“Do you have the cloak” she whispered and he nodded, “put it on” they walked in silence to the gates and into Hogsmeade. It seemed Voldemort had assumed it an easy task and there was no one else insight. They reached the bar and knocked, Harry opened the door and took off the cloak to see the place empty, only a man sat holding his wand and a glass of fire whiskey remained.
“You woke me up for this” he grumbled
“Grandad this is important” she replied “Harry this is my Grandad Aberforth, Grandad this is Harry Potter”
He grunted and gulped down the last of the drink standing up, “And who’s this?” he gestured his neck towards Malfoy.
“Death eater, do you never listen to me when we talk?”She smiled
“Now you listen here Willow Jacobs I maybe old but im your grandad show some respect in front of our guests” he took out a empty bottle from the underside of the bar and pointed his wand at it “Portus”
He handed it to her, “Am I telling your parents about this morning?”
“They know why im posted at the school; I’ll be back before you know it this is a brief trip”
He nodded and she turned to Harry, “Im going to have to tie him to you, so we can do this”
“Can’t I just hold him by the throat?”
“Im sure the order would have something to say about it” She grinned.
He pointed his wand at Draco and a piece of rope unwound and wrapped it’s self around his own arm. She held out the portkey and he put a hand on it using the rope to force Draco to do the same. He felt the familiar tug in his navel, and spinning in the air before landing, standing up for a change, in a large field. Draco was lying at his feet still attached to him and Harry yanked the rope pulling him up and raised his wand levitating him in front of them and severing the rope that tied them together. Professor pointed behind them and spoke “Here it is” A large black box like building stood before them.
“Friendly looking place”
“I can assure you its better then a visit to Azkaban”
They walked towards it and faced four guards at the only entrance or exit to the place.
“Good Morning Willow” Smiled a tall brown haired man,
“Hello Caleb” She smiled and they hugged as he kissed her cheek, “Harry this is my Fiancé, Caleb, and these are Reece, Jack and Liam” they nodded in turn,
“What you got here?”Asked Liam,
“Draco Malfoy” she grinned “And a Mister Potter”
The four men stared at him and he looked back. “Harry and his friends caught him breaking in to Hogwarts trying to kidnap a Weasley”
Draco tried to speak; Harry pointed his wand at him and undid his mouth,
“What is it Malfoy?” said Harry, guards looked at the two of them in awe,
“I was going after your little girlfriend, not just any old Weasley”
“And that’s where you made your mistake then isn’t it”
“Do I look worried?”
“Actually I think you do, just think what you going to get is a lot worse then me and Ron and you haven’t called anyone a mudblood yet”
“So is that what messed up his face, we don’t take well to verbal abuse in here” Said Jack, the other three nodded “You’ll do well to keep your mouth shut and wait till we get your parents then you can have a family cell” Said Caleb.
“I have a lot to look forward too then don’t I, just make sure you give me a copy of the prophet that announces the death of Harry Potter and his little redhead”
Harry sealed his mouth shut again, “He was always an obnoxious git at school, and hasn’t changed much since he became a death eater”
They were led inside by Caleb, and Harry looked around, and up. From the small corridor they were taken into a main room that separated into two doors and led into it one as the building opened out looking like prisons he had seen on TV without the bars only walls. There were rows and rows of doors leading to white boxes holding prisoners and guards walking around. A short balding man came forward, “Miss Jacobs, another one I see who is it this time?”
“Good morning Mr Keeling, Draco Malfoy, son of Lucius and Narsissa and Death eater”
“His crimes”
“Breaking into Hogwarts with the intent to kidnap and involvement in the death of Albus Dumbledore”
“Come with me” he took them to his office, Draco now struggling with his ropes looking nervous. Harry looked at him feeling only pity and spoke to him as they sat down. “There’s no use trying to escape what’s coming, you can’t avoid it” Draco stopped and stared at him angrily. Harry turned away as they all talked, Draco’s dark mark was shown and he was taken away. After ten minutes of Harry explaining and being praised for his wanting to become an auror Willow stood up.
“Our job is done so take good care of him now won’t you” She grinned,
“Of course, we’ll see you in the near future we hope Mr Potter, and be proud to have you in our service as an Auror” Harry smiled before standing up as well, “I look forward to it”
“Come on Harry, we’d better get you back to Miss Weasley” she smiled, her eyes twinkling and they walked outside and apparated back to the Hogshead.
