Well, now we know what Teddy took from Hermione's cubby. And with this post from Mulciber, I get the feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time pushing F5!

I am refusing to hope just yet, because that could be player error.

[stormyhearted]

It's not. It's also not the portkey. :/

[ellemir]

Crap!
Bellatrix has found hermiones bracelet and wand

[cheyinka]

Oh my.

Well, everyone was right that the portkey was being made too much of for it to actually be an effective escape plan!

Now might be a great time for Draco to make an X on a galleon, or even better, something like "RAZ oFFIcE" :|

[worthywords]

Oh, NO!

[ladyrelaynie]

*squeak*

Sorry, that's all I've got right now. That, and the refresh button.

The shit. Hath hitteth. The fan. Eth.

[stormyhearted]

As I said elsenet, I suspect Hermione is going to get her scar from Bellatrix a little bit early...

[ladyrelaynie]

Oh, crap. They have Draco's galleon!

[cheyinka]

Ack! That's... that cannot possibly not be bad. Oh. That is very, very bad.

[ladyrelaynie]

The creature's. Missing. Finger. O.O Oh Lord. They have her means to kill herself too. SHIT.

[cheyinka]

Narratively, we weren't really expecting her to use the ring, were we? Though the

ORDER ONLY: WHO JUST USED THEIR RING?!

panic would be a sight to see, I must admit...

[ladyrelaynie]

No, but the ring was there just in case Hermione knew she couldn't keep quiet much longer, so she wouldn't be able to give anyone away. Now that option is kaput.

It's just worrying.

[cheyinka]

Reasonable supposition.

For right now, it's good that Bellatrix is quailing at having to legilmise a Muggleborn.

It would be positively ideal if she called in her daughter to do it. (Except, of course, no such order would be present in Teddy's mind.)

[stormyhearted]

I'd say it's a safe bet that both the portkey and her galleon were in the bracelet, so Hermione is totally screwed unless she gets rescued.

[ladyrelaynie]

Pretty much.

Hopefully Draco is a really really good Occlumens. Or Bellatrix does have some fleeting affection for him that will make her. Merciful.

Nope. Draco's screwed too.

[cheyinka]

He seems like a really good Occlumens, if perhaps not a really, really good one, because Bellatrix feels she has to use 'enhanced techniques'.

Is this a :) or a :( - I can't decide! :/

[ladyrelaynie]

Can't decide either. I want to believe Draco will choose death rather than give anyone up, especially Hermione, but I have to remember, with all his gifts, he's still just a seventeen year old boy. And if I have to hope for his death as the best case scenario, that just about rips my heart out.

And who knows what they're doing to Hermione. :((((((

[cheyinka]

I don't think that's the best-case scenario! "Draco unwillingly reveals the names of a number of people in the Order, and that the Order of the Phoenix is still extant and is the source of Hermione's wand, and is consigned to Azkaban, from which he is rescued," is a better scenario, isn't it? (And that's still pretty grim.)

[teceler]

Well, I think they know that the Order is still extant, based on Doholov and Barty's investigations, but... yeah.

[ladyrelaynie]

Maybe I meant worst case scenario? Definitely hoping for a stunning rescue of them both.
