A/n: ok so ik the timeline doesn't match up but the scene in the cafe was in the middllp/end of the summer so the end of 5th and beginning of 6th. Hogwarts is starting up again.

Hermione's POV:
The death eaters took us out of the room, well Lucius and Snape took us out. Bellatrix had a 'important mission' as Lucius called it and was forced to leave. Ron and I were levitated upstairs to a large sitting room that had a rustic chandelier in the middle and a long black table that could seat at least 25 people.

The levitation charm was lifted and I was dropped on the cold floor with Ron beside me. I look up to see three smirking faces staring down at me. Nott, zabini, and Parkinson were looking down at us as Ron and I scrambled to our feet. "What are you lot doing here?" Asked Ron in a worried tone.

"We-" Parkinson starts by gesturing to herself and the two boys behind her. "-are here to watch over you as you attempt to fulfil the dark lord's mission, think of us as paparazzi, seeing how the golden trio works without there ring leader." She said in a snarky voice. "Harry is Not our 'ring leader'!" I hear Ron say from behind me, obliviously annoyed.

"Hm didn't seem like that, I mean he was ordering you both around, yelling, even acting like, dear I say so, a Slytherin!" Parkinson said gleefully almost testing us to argue. I looked back at Ron who appeared that if he was any more angry smoke would come out of his ears.

"Harry does not act like a filthy snake! He is nothing like you and will never be like you! Whatever you're planing it won't work! you mother fuc-" Ron was cut off be a stinging hex from Lucius who appeared behind us.

"There will be absolutely no arguments with your- advisors while they are looking after you. Do I make myself clear?" Lucius asked in a strict and commanding voice.

When no one answered he spoke again while raising his wand "I said do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?!"I shook my head and said yes in a deep tone as I heard Ron mumble a 'yeah' beside me.

"Good, now your assignment is too retrieve the elder wand, it is in the hands of Dumbledore. You will take whatever risk necessary to do it but very careful not to get caught. Once you have hold of the wand you will contact Theodore, Pansy, or Blaise and they will get you back here where the wand will be given to the dark lord. You have four months to complete this task and if you fail you die and your potter friend will be tortured until he rots away in the cell. Understand?"

Both me and Ron gave anxious nods "good, any questions?" The blond haired man asked "yes I have one, didn't the paper talk about the attack? Won't people ask how we 'escaped'?" Ron asked worriedly.

Lucius looked to him and spoke "we... made sure that the post wouldn't track this story. And your family has been under the impression you left for Hogwarts early to get ready for classes and help prep for the first years."

"Now if you all understand now, you will be sent to Hogwarts with your escorts." Lucius spoke and we nodded in return.

Dracos POV: (continue from last chapter)

Aunt Bellatrix and I exited the room with stunned expression on our faces. As we left the room, potter was still hanging from the chains on the ceiling so he yelled for us to come back and put him down while he thrashed wildly.

I turned to Bella and asked the question I've been longing to ask "what are we going to do?" Bella looks at me as if I should have known the answer all along "go to the dark lord of course and see what his next moves are In this situation." She says blankly "I don't think he would like that we bothered him for this" I say trying to get some excuse to not go to the dark lord.

"Trust me Draco, the dark lord would very much like to hear about this" she said in an uncharacteristically stern voice "trust you? I should trust you?!?" I ask dumbfounded.
Bellatrix shrugs "only this time though"
