3rd Person POV ( trying to do more chapters in this perspective ) everything in italics is from the actual book:

The large and ever looming Manor seemed to gleam maliciously before the quartet in the setting sun, causing a horrible sinking feeling in Harry's stomach. It was tall and dark, pillars of marble surrounding the entrance, with gardens in front of it, hundreds of roses that looked like they once held great beauty - most were dead and dry now. A fountain centered the scenery, with grimy and black water spurting from the top magnificently. It was beautiful, and Harry would be in awe if not for the fact that it was Malfoy Manor and it was the home of Death Eaters. He felt helpless, he was wandless and chained up, separated from Ginny and the others, and they were at Malfoy Manor - where they were sure to call Voldemort and alert him that Harry was in captivity. The worst part of the situation was that they hadn't even destroyed all the horcruxes yet and if Voldemort came, they almost had zero chance of escaping, or winning the war at all. Harry struggled against his ropes and tried kicking and writhing around but it only seemed to amuse the Snatchers as they dragged the four friends up to the gates of the Manor, and held them tightly.

The tall and dark haired one with almost fangs for teeth grinned and drew his wand, pointing it directly in front of him and confidently shouted the incantation, "Expecto Patronum!" A whispy silver and weakly executed Patronus appeared in the form of a small mole rat and scurried around in the air, waiting for a command from the wizard. "Go and fetch Lucius Malfoy, tell him we have Harry Potter and his friends. Tell him we have a wanted Mudblood and his girlfriend." He growled, smiling widely with his grimy and dirty teeth.

Harry stiffened at the mention of Ginny and Hermione, and Ron visibly started too, his face contorted in pure fear and anger, the tips of his ears turning red. Ginny's eyes widened and Hermione looked close to tears, but both stood tall in their shackles, staying strong on the outside for Harry and Ron. Harry admired this, trying to do the same with himself and looked to Ron, giving him a look of reassurance, though he wasn't feeling sure at all. The mole rat scurried quickly above the gate and through the grand doors of the entrance, leaving them standing at the gates awkwardly, all Snatchers breathing heavily and excitedly, waiting for the reward they were about to get for successfully capturing Harry Potter. He felt stupid, and mostly guilty, guilty for dragging Ron, Hermione and Ginny into this mess, probably facing them with certain death because of him. You stupid git. He thought bitterly, heart pounding. He supposed his fear showed, for the Snatchers took joy in his expression.

"Scared, Potter? Ain't no more runnin' for you or your blood traitor and Mudblood friends, you'll see yer end!" The nasty smelling one cackled, setting of the others in ugly laughter. Ginny scowled.

"Will you fuck off, you rancid smelling bastard? Or is looking as ugly as you smell not enough for you?" She spat, face set in absolute anger. Harry felt a rush of affection for his girlfriend, and wanted nothing more than to break free of his chains and hug her, hide her and take her from the horrible world, do nothing but make her happy and safe. He broke free from his daydreams when the rattling of the gates drowned out the angry response of the Snatcher, drawing open to the walkway of the entrance to Malfoy Manor. Harry shivered.

A sudden and loud crack sounded and startled all of the people in the area, and it appeared as a small and frail, but young House Elf. The elf, who looked to be male wrung his hands nervously and looked up at the group, his big and watery eyes darting from person to person. " I is Todrey, and I is to take all of you to the entrance to meet Master Lucius, Todrey needs all of you to follow." He squeaked, looking terrified at the mere thought of being near the Snatchers and hurried off, waving his little arms for them to follow up the walkway.
