Chapter III
Lovely Reviewers:
andarte - The sweetness may only go so far. Though this fic definitely has the sweeter, ahem saner, Lucius.
Voracious Reader - As soon as I heard it, I knew it was perfect. It is a favorite of mine. Severus, of course, wanted to avenge Lily. He didn't feel it was his place to avenge Hermione. He loved her as a friend/sister but no more.
HermioneMalfoyFan - Yes, but Lily could jump from great heights and slow her descent. Neville was dropped from a window and bounced. If my computer died, I would have a minor, okay, complete mental breakdown.
Ashley - I check as many times as you check for updates, though I search for reviews.
Heidi191976 - Next one is here.
Linneh - And getting shorter.
Lauriurix - I will do my best with having physical short comings.
catysmom - I do my best.
maddie50 - Yes. I love that song in particular by Enya. That is not the usual kind of music that I listen to, but my taste is so eclectic that I like most musics.

The bad news for us is that my hands are worsening at a steady rate. Yesterday, they were so stiff that I couldn't hold a pencil. So I will do my best...I have an appointment with a doctor today. I do not look forward to it...but I thought it best to go back when it is at that point.
A character dies in this portion...I shall not say who. I will say it is not Hermione or Lucius!

Hermione floated down to the ground and ran in the direction she’d seen Lucius.
She didn’t call out to him. No reason to alert the unaware death eaters that Lucius was not on their side.
As she drew closer to him, she could make out the thick black hair of Bellatrix Lestrange.
The woman was bearing down on Lucius stealthily.
“What are you doing, Aunt?” Hermione heard Tonks shout.
A bright silver spell shot at the dark haired witch that sent her flipping backwards.
“I’ll get you for that, you FILTHY HALFBLOOD!” Bellatrix roared, and she sent a violent scarlet spell toward her niece.
Tonks fell to the side to avoid the brunt of the blast, but her wand arm was incinerated by it from the elbow down.
Bellatrix cackled flinging her head back as she sent the killing curse at Tonks who was struck by it in the face. Bellatrix sustained the blast for almost a minute all the while cackling madly.
She released the spell and dropped low again to creep toward Lucius.
Hermione raced to Tonks side.
There was bleeding at the corner of her smile, but her face was otherwise pale and lifeless. The pink of her hair was dulled, and her obliterated arm gushed blood.
Hermione blinked back tears.
Tonks was dead. Nothing could be done for her. Lucius was alive and had a deranged death eater creeping toward him to do him harm or worse.
She ran toward the bluff where Lucius’ blonde hair was being whipped about by the force of the spells he was sending out. She was halfway up one side while Bellatrix had crept around to the other.
“BETRAYER!” Bellatrix’ voice shouted toward where Lucius stood on a small rise blasting spells at death eaters’ backs. “A fate worse than death is yours to be had, you treasonous BASTARD!”
“Lucius!” Hermione shouted, sending a blast at Dolohov who was currently engaged with Remus Lupin. “Lucius!”
A jet of acid green light blasted from the end of Bellatrix’ wand.
“LUCIUS!” Hermione screamed as she collided with his back pushing him to the side.
The blast connected with Hermione’s chest, and a feeling of cold dread swept into her body as she slid down his waist pricking her finger on the fang of the snake belt-buckle clasp.
“AVADA KEDAVRA!” Lucius shouted, sending a jet of sparkling green magic at Bellatrix who dodged it by ducking behind a tree before dashing away laughing as though the spell had hit its intended target.
“I GOT POTTER’S MUDBLOOD!” she shouted aiming at someone new and blasting them.
Lucius dragged Hermione close and looked into her eyes.
“What did you do that for?” Lucius growled, hunkering down lower to avoid spells and being seen.
“I feel so cold,” Hermione said, smiling at him and trying to blink but only getting her lids open halfway.
Lucius shook her.
“STAY awake!” he said, leaning in close to her face. "Why did you do that?"
“I’m so sleepy,” Hermione said, and she closed her eyes completely.
Her breathing slowed seeming to stop, and she rested atop the hill, not seeing Lucius shake with rage, not seeing the glow that came off of him as he took off his cloak and covered her with it before leaving the height he was at to find his sister-in-law.

I hope that this chapter, while short, was acceptable in other respects. I would wager a guess as to say that the next chapter for this story will be four times as long.
