Hermione's POV

"As for Draco Malfoy and Hermione Zabini, I know a bit more" 

do you now Mr. Weasley? 

"go on" 

I'd love to hear 

"I sent an agent to Borgin and Burkes. I think, from what you described, what you and Ron saw at the end of the Summer the object that they are so interested in is a vanishing cabinet" crap, he knows too much WAY too much 

"A vanishing Cabinet?" 

"They were all the rage when Voldemort first rose to power, you can see the appeal, should the death eaters come knocking one simply had to slip inside and disappear for an hour or two. They can transport you practically anywhere. Tricky contraptions though, very temperamental" I know all about how it's a 'tricky contraption'

"What happened to it? The one at Borgin and Burkes?" 

"Nothing. It's still there" 

good, we don't want that disappearing off somewhere

"what's going on?"

I walked downstairs an hour later. Bellatrix, Rodulphus, Fenrir, and Lucius were putting on their masks over their uniform

"we're going to pay a little visit... to the Weasleys"

Fire surrounded the Weasley house, engulfing the home in its flames

"oh... ok" I didn't say anything else and ran back upstairs. 

"what's wrong love?" 

I realized I had been pacing my bedroom, Draco watched me curiously 

"Weasel... Potter... Parkinson" I muttered, not understanding my racing thoughts 

"what about them?" 

"Bella, greyback, Rodolphus, and Lucius are about to go to the burrow, and I saw a vision..." 

he shot up from the bed quickly and jumped to me, grasping my hands in his when he reached me "what vision? What are they gonna do?" 

I looked up at him, fear running through my veins 

"I don't know"

*

Potter chased her through the flames, Lupin and Tonks trying to reach him before the fire closed again

out of nowhere, a girl with fiery red hair whipped through the hot air and deadly element, sprinting after the boy. 

Potter chased Bella through a cornfield, she taunted him with her words through the space between them, eventually, she stopped and he was lost. 

Weaselette was lost too, Fenrir slowly creeping up behind her, She was terrified, I could feel her fear, the raven-haired boy appeared and protected her "STUPIFY!" 

Fenrir dodged it. The four death eaters circled them through the crop, the craziest of all about to pounce on the kids before I heard someone in the distance "HARRY!" 

they didn't waste any more time and started bouncing spells off the young lovers

The order was closing in on them, the Death eaters didn't have a choice but to leave, at least not before setting the Burrow on fire. 

Fire surrounded the Weasley house, engulfing the home in its flames

they couldn't do anything but watch the place they love burn...
