A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

23| The Rescue

We didn't tell anyone where we were going when we left. We snuck out and Mione and I went to Diagon Alley while Draco led the others to his manor where he thought Slate would be.

When we arrived, I started walking away and went to check the time.

11:59.

I was nervous to say the least but I was doing what had to be done. And I had Hermione in case things got rough.

The time changed and right as it did, the sky darkened and he appeared in front of me.

"Ah, Natalie Potter." He smiled wickedly.

"Lord Voldemort." I greeted with an annoyed expression.

Harry's POV:

Malfoy led me, Av, and Ron to a rich wizarding neighborhood.

"This is it. Home sweet home." Draco sighed deeply. I felt bad for him and I could relate in a way.

We both hated where we lived and we both feel trapped in our own homes.

"Let's do this." Avery tightened her grip on her wand and my hand.

"I'll go in first and distract everyone while you lot go and get Slate. Take the stairs all the way down and don't come out from the invisibility cloak for any reason. Got that?" Draco explained.

"Yep." Ron nodded.

We got under the cloak as we reached the door but before I put my head under I looked up at Draco.

"Malfoy." He turned around. "Good luck."

"You too Potter." He smiled as I got fully under the cloak.

That was probably the first time he said my last name correctly.

He opened the door and the three of us scrambled inside almost knocking Avery over as we went.

I caught her and her cheeks blushed slightly as I pulled her back up.

We followed Draco's instructions to the stairs and went down them until we reached a dark and damp room.

We saw Slate standing there with his hands chained above his head. He was visibly in a lot of pain.

I took the cloak off and rushed over to him opening the cell door.

"Potter? That really you?" He grumbled.

"Yeah. I'm only here because I promised my sister I would help you." I wasn't happy with him but this was for Nat.

"I got the chains. You two catch him." Av came over and broke the chains with a spell.

Slate fell and he felt like dead weight as Ron and I held him.

"Guys... there isn't going to be enough room under the cloak for all four of us." Ron said.

"You guys go. I'll stay here and pretend to be one of them. Draco can get me out." Avery motioned for us to go.

"Are you mental? No!" I whisper yelled.

"Harry, it's the only thing that will work. You have to go." She held my hand. "I love you."

"Better idea." I smirked. "We get Slate out then I come back for you."

"There's a window right there." Slate pointed weakly.

"Hurry!" I rushed them.

"I'll be back. I love you Av." I kissed her quickly and slipped under the cloak climbing out the small window.

We rushed as fast as we could to the front where we had hidden our brooms. There was security all around the back of the mansion so it would be impossible to get back around without the invisibly cloak.
