Captivity

Leaving Privet Drive

I'm sitting on a swing in the park, down the road from number 4 Privet Drive, kicking dust on the ground at my feet. I've been thinking about the recent turn of events, mostly unpleasant thoughts relating to the death of Professor Dumbledore. I still remember that night in my dreams. My memory won't let me forget it.

A commotion at the park entrance makes me look up and study the two young boys, probably about 10, slam the gate and run off down the road with the sound of laughter following after them.

I admire their ability to be so carefree; of course they most likely have no clue as to what is really happening in the UK at the moment. But then again, I'm not sure that I do either.

I have been at my relatives since Dumbledore's funeral and I plan to stay only till my birthday or a couple of days after at the most. Luckily my birthday is tomorrow so I won't have to be here much longer. Frankly, I'm not sure who is happier with this arrangement, me or the Dursley's. If it wasn't for these stupid wards I wouldn't even be here in the first place.

Just because I have been at the Dursley's, doesn't mean that I haven't been keeping up to date with the news. I'm not a hundred per cent sure that the Daily Profit is a reliable source of information though I guess that some of it would have to be true. In fact, just the other day I read an article about the death Narcissa Malfoy. No details were provided at all, just the death notice. I wonder how Malfoy would be taking this. I mean I don't even like him but no matter who it is, it's still a tough thing to go through, to lose a parent.

I notice the sun starting to sink in the sky and I look at my watch and notice that it's approaching dinner time, so I get up and make my way back to number 4. Time flies in these long summer days.

That night I amused myself as I waited for midnight to bring in my birthday and it wasn't long until I could see the dark shape of an owl approaching in the distance. I open the window to let it in the owls as they arrive and return to my bed to sit down and wait.

My beloved owl Hedwig arrives first with what looks like a heavy package, suspiciously looking like a book.

"Have you come from Hermione?" I ask Hedwig affectionately as she lands next to me.

I heard a hoot in response to what I presumed was confirmation as I removed the package from Hedwig's leg.

"Yes, definitely a book I think," I say as I turn the weighty package in my hands.

I peel back the card attached to the parcel and open it and discover it is indeed from Hermione. As if there was any doubt.

Dear Harry,

I hope that everything is going ok with you at the Dursley's and they aren't bothering you at all. Sorry, I can't say much in case this is intercepted, though I think any one getting in the way of Hedwig with bad intentions towards you would be in trouble. She is awfully protective of you.

I'm currently staying with the Weasley's so I will hopefully see you soon and we can catch up more then. Ron says he wants to give you your present when you get here.

Have a great day Harry and hopefully this year will be better for you that the last.

Love Hermione

PS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Smiling at the card, I turn to the parcel, pick it up and patiently pull back the paper to show its contents. I have always preferred to savour the unwrapping of gifts, I guess because I didn't get them that often.

The book that fell out of the wrapping was titled The Mysteries of Wandless Magic by E Black.

"Ohh Hermione, you just can't help yourself can you?" I mumble with a smile on my face.

I grab a piece of paper off my desk and set about writing a thank you note.

Dear Hermione,

Thank you for the book it looks interesting. Hope to see you and the Weasley's soon.

Love Harry

I fold my letter up and turn to Hedwig and ask "up for another trip?"

After I sent Hedwig off again I laid back on my bed with my thoughts. It's strange you know that I haven't received anything from the Weasley's. Usually I would have gotten a birthday cake or something from them. Even a card would be nice. I'm not picky. Guess I'll just have to wait till I see what Ron has in store.

Two days after my birthday, I was relaxing in my room flicking through my book from Hermione. Not really reading it but looking at the pictures. What can I say, I'm easily entertained.

However, I was rudely interrupted by loud knocking on the door downstairs.

I sigh as I get up. Just what I need right now, dealing with Dudley's friends when he's not here.

The Dursley's had left me in peace for the night as they had gone to stay the night at Aunt Marge's place. I think they had to visit her as I don't think the Dursley's ever wanted a repeat occurrence of last time she visited here. Plus, I don't think she ever wanted to see me again anyway. Not that I had any intention of catching up with her.

By the time I got to the front door I could voices arguing outside.

"Knock again will you already"

"I knocked like two seconds ago"

"Where is he then?"

"Be patient, he's probably just coming down now,"

I open the door and am surprised to see a familiar group of people at my door.

"Hi guys, what are you doing here?" I ask as I look at them all.

Hermione jumped at me and engulfed me in a hug whilst Remus shooed everyone inside, giving furtive glances behind him. "Not now Harry. Wait till we're all inside," he says as he shuffles past.

"Hermione, I'm very glad to see you again but would you mind letting me go now?"

"Oh I'm sorry Harry," she says as she releases me from her grip. "I'm just so happy to see you again. Have you been alright?"

"Yea, I've been fine." I say as I follow her into the lounge room where everyone has taken a seat.

"So, are you guys here to pick me up?" I ask.

Remus smiles at me "Yes we are but there is something that we need to do beforehand. I know you probably haven't heard but there have been a couple of disappearances and unfortunately Bill is one of them," he says grimly.

"But his wedding is in a couple of days' time!" I exclaim.

"I know which is why we have organised to bring him back by then. This is not going to be easy," he said, as he looked around at us seriously "none of you are required to come along, although the more help, the better."

"You can count me in," I say as everyone else nods solemnly.

"We all want Bill back," comes from Ron as he raises his head from glaring at his feet.

"Yea, especially Fleur don't you reckon Fred?"

"Must be George, can't imagine she's spilling all those tears for someone else."

"Anyway," said Remus as he looked at us from where he was standing, "I have come up with a plan which I think will be the most effective for what we know. From the information that I received it seems that he is being held in a werewolf camp in a secluded spot of Epping Forest in the Northern, Greater London area."

"But their are a lot of muggles living in and around there!" Hermione said shocked.

"Have there been any people in the area go missing?" I ask.

Remus sighed and shook his head "Unfortunately the order hasn't been made aware if there is. We have our own people keeping a looking out for any news in that area but we don't have a lot of people who are willing to talk to us at the moment. There are still a lot of people out there that want to ignore what's going on at the moment."

Frustrated I ask "How can people still ignore what's happening? Dumbledore is dead! Voldemort is back! They're even admitting it at the ministry now. Seriously how can people be so so…"

"Obtuse?" Offered Hermione

"Yea that," I said embarrassed whilst Ron was failing to stifle a laugh at my embarrassment.

"There are always going to be unbelievers. Though at the moment, lets just try to rescue Bill," Arthur interrupts.

"Thanks Arthur, now as some of you might not have been a-where it was a full moon the other night." As Remus said this everyone sat up that bit straighter "Bill was last seen on the morning of the 30th of July and was due back at the Burrow around 11am. Now as it was a full moon that night we have no idea at this stage as to whether he has been bitten. If he has it may mean rescuing him may be a little harder as he is not going to feel right and he'll be uncoordinated and most likely very confused."

Hermione raises her hand, "Sorry to interrupt but is there anything we can do to ease these effects to get him out of there?"

"Unfortunately there isn't. Werewolves at this stage don't take very well to potions and charms and its best for them if there is no interference at all at this early stage." Remus said as he looked at Hermione.

"We are also going to have the trouble of all the other werewolf's in the vicinity will have their senses enhanced due to the moon" continued Remus, "So this is the plan that we have come up with," he indicated to moody and himself as he pulled out a map of the area and placed it on the floor.

We all shuffled closer to the map for a closer look. "There will be six of us going and we will all be going in together and arriving at this point," Said Remus indicating to a red cross marked on the map. "From here we will split into two groups. Harry and Hermione you'll be with me and Fred and George are with Arthur."

At this Ron looked up at Remus "What about me?" he said angrily "I'm coming too!"

Arthur looked at Ron "I'm sorry Ron but Molly forbid it. You know how she is. She explicitly said that you where not to go on any mission. You'll have to take it up with her," he explained as Ron continued to glare angrily at the map.

Glancing at them all Remus continued on with the plan, "Ok so as I was saying, Arthur your team is going to this spot here where we believe he is being held. We have had a look and agreed that there shouldn't be any more than 15 guards most of them not highly trained wizards as this pack tends to avoid magic. However we do expect that at least five of them would be fully trained wizards. My group is going to take the perimeter and take out as many as we can on the outskirts to reduce the amount of back up. I believe that you two" he said indicating to the twins "that you may have something that will sneak you in and out undetected?"

Fred shared an evil grin with George "I believe we might have just the thing,"

"Excellent, well I'll let you go get what you need. We meet back here in 10 minutes." Remus said as he stood up, "Oh and Harry, have you got your stuff packed up? I'll get Ron to take it back to the Burrow with him."

"Ok sure," I say as I stand up with everyone else. I grab Ron and Hermione by the sleeve "Can you give me a hand?"

"Sure"

"Nothing better to do," Ron mumbled as we trudged up the stairs to my room.

"So what's been going on then?" I ask as I set about packing my trunk.

"Not a lot," says Ron "With the wedding and everything mum has been run off her feet trying to get everything organized. Now with Bill… I don't think I've seen mum so stressed out,"

"She has been pretty out of sorts," agreed Hermione as she grabbed all the books and papers from his desk whilst I grabbed me stash of personal items from the beneath the floorboard under my bed.

"Well hopefully she will be better when we bring Bill home." I say as I tried to close the lid of my trunk.

"Yea hopefully," Ron mumbles, "I just don't get why she won't let me go with you to find him. She should know by now that I can look after myself."

"Oh Ron, she loves you and she needs you to be strong for her now. Who else is she going to turn to?" Hermione says as she turned to sit next to Ron on the Bed.

"Dad, my other older brothers, I mean why can't the twins stay back?"

"Because Charlie hasn't arrived yet and Percy is still not speaking to her which hurts her a lot and well the twins are the twins. She needs you around to help with everything. Especially with what's been happening recently."

"Yea but what about Dad and even Ginny?"

"Your mother knows that your farther is taking a more of an active part of the order now that Dumbledore is no longer with us and Ginny is helping Fleur cope with everything until her parents arrive tomorrow."

"Yea I suppose your right," he mumbled to himself.

I smile and clap him on the shoulder "Don't you remember that Hermione is always right," and Ron just smiled.

A knock on the door made me turn and smile at Remus in the doorway. "Ron, here is your portkey back to the Burrow, just tap it with your wand and say 'Home', you better leave now as Molly expected you back home five minutes ago."

"Alright well I guess I'll see you guys soon?" Ron said as he shuffled his feet and grabbed onto my trunk and Hedwig's cage.

"Yea see you soon mate," I say as he taps his wand to the feather made portkey and said "Home".

Remus turned to them and asks, "Are you two ready?"

"Yea," I say and looked at Hermione to see her nod.

"Ok well get downstairs then, the others are ready to go."

I take one last look at my room before I close the door for hopefully the last time and head down stairs.

Thanks so much for reading. I would really love to hear if you like it so far?
