Saved

Chapter 22

    River

Severus had to go back to Hogwarts considering he's the headmaster and no one could cover for him anymore so it was just me and Draco sitting on the couch downstairs.

Lucius and Narcissa were doing something upstairs I had no idea what, they never gave much context.

The only thing I remember is hearing loud voices from somewhere in the house, Draco looked at me and raised an eye brow before standing up and walking towards the parlor where the voices were getting louder.

" Get Draco." I could hear Bellatrix's evil voice say from inside the room.

Lucius came storming out of the parlor almost bumping into us, he had a small smirk on his face when he grabbed Draco's shoulder. " Come here."

He dragged Draco inside the parlor causing me to follow, i wasn't leaving him alone in there considering we had no idea what was going on.

When we walked in my heart immediately dropped, there were a three men standing with their backs facing me. Two were holding Ron and Hermione but Bellatrix had Harry by his hair.

My heart beat began to beat faster as they all saw me walk in. They knew. They knew I was a death eater.

Bellatrix smirked as Draco walked closer to her and Harry, " So? Is it him?" She asked loudly.

I slowly walked over and stood next to Narcissa who was pretty close to the snatchers, Hermione and Ron looked at me like i was some kind of monster.

I basically was but I didn't want them to know that.

" I can't be sure." Draco replied, I could tell he was trying to keep his voice steady but was failing. He was nervous too.

" Draco," his father stated walking closer to him and gripping the back of his neck. " If we are the ones to hand Harry over to the dark lord, all will be forgiven, we'll have his trust." He took his hand off the back of his neck and touched his back.

I could hear his tough breathing as he nodded aggressively, I wish I could just pull him into a hug right now, he looked so scared.

" Now we won't be forgetting who actually caught him, will we?" One of the snatchers asked in thick accent.

" How dare you talk to me like that in my own house!" Lucius yelled, I stepped back slightly as Narcissa walked up to him grabbing his arm gently.

" Lucius." She whispered pulling him back over to me.

Bellatrix still had the smirk on her face as she gestured Draco to get closer to Harry, " Don't be shy sweetie, come over." She said not so sweetly. Draco bent down and stared Harry in his eyes. Bella still had him by his hair, his face looked weird and puffy, like he was a whole different person. " Now, if this isn't who we think it is and we call him he'll kill us all, we need to be absolutely sure."

Draco paused, " What's wrong with his face?"

" Yes, what is wrong with his face?" Bella asked turning to the snatchers.

The man who Lucius yelled at shrugged, " He came to us like that, I reckon it's something he picked up in the forest."

" What a coincidence you catch him and his face is all messed up," Bella pointed her wand to Hermione and Ron lazily, " Was it you to?" She raised an eye brow as they stayed still in the men's arms. " Give me her wand," she walked towards them, " We'll see what her last spell was."

Narcissa left my side again and tapped on Dracos shoulder. He stood up slowly and immediately made eye contact with me but I just looked away. The only thing i was focused on was getting them out of here alive, i would do anything for that.
