Hidden Wings - Part II

Malfoy Manor...and unexpected help

Mioha arrived before the Snatchers did. She stood by the gate, waiting while her arms were folded in front of her chest. When the Snatchers appeared, she gave Greyback a haughty look, before snapping her fingers.

Harry was pulled forward by an invisible hand, not stopping until he stood right in front of her. His green eyes were blazing with suppressed fury, but he kept his mouth shut.

Mioha smirked.
"Smart boy", she commented and turned around.
"Greyback, bring Granger and Weasley to the dungeons."

"So you can get the credit for capturing Potter?", snarled Greyback. "I don't think so."

Mioha cocked her head.
"I found them", she said, her tone suddenly turning ice cold. "Or would you say otherwise?"

The werewolf flexed his muscles, glaring at Mioha. But her piercing red eyes held no mercy. She would kill him on the spot without hesitating, and he knew it.

"No", he growled deeply and grabbed Granger and Weasley by their necks, yanking them forward.

Mioha smiled slightly and turned around.
"Come with me", she said softly to Potter and started heading for the entrance.
"Or let me drag you all the way", she called out when he did not follow her.
"Your choice."

Potter glanced behind him at the sniggering Death Eaters. Then he pulled himself together and stiffly walked towards Mioha, gritting his teeth.
She lead the way into the cool manor, her high heels clacking loudly in the silence. Behind Potter, two Death Eaters as well as Scabior followed, their wands pointed at Potter.

Mioha internally rolled her eyes. Potter's hands were tied and he did not have a wand. She knew he was no threat and besides; if he did try something, he would be no match against her.

"You", she addressed Yaxley crisply when he appeared ahead of her, "tell the Dark Lord I've found Potter."

Yaxley paled, either with surprise or with jealousy. Perhaps both. He did not argue with her after the morning demonstration on Lucius and disappeared down a dark corridor.

Mioha led the way into the large hall of Malfoy Manor and had the Death Eaters push Potter down onto his knees. She folded her arms and impatiently tapped her fingers on her elbow.

"He is not here", Yaxley said upon entering the hall. He inclined his head slightly, when Mioha fixed her red eyes on him.

"Call him", she commanded and narrowed her eyes at Yaxley, who quickly pulled out his wand and pressed it against the mark on his left arm.

The ground suddenly trembled and a deafening BANG reached her ears. Mioha snapped her head to the left and scowled.
It had comd from the dungeons.

Honestly, was there even a single competent person around here?

"Take care of him", she said icily to Scabior and disappeared with a puff of black smoke.

When she reappeared before the cells in the dungeons, she saw several Death Eaters unconscious while Greyback was leaning against a wall, bleeding out of a deep gash on his neck.

"What. Happened?", hissed Mioha when she found that neither Weasley nor Granger could be seen.

"The mudblood...had a shrunken Erumpent horn in her pocket", groaned a Death Eater. "They ran...this way..."
He motioned to Mioha's right and collapsed back onto the ground.

The Maliluna took three long strides forward and closed her hand around Greyback's neck, slamming him into the wall.
"I am starting to see that your incompetence outweighs your use", she said in a dangerously low tone.
