Screams echoed down to the dungeon where two girls were being held. It had been nearly 3 years since Voldemort had won. This was their reality now they had been tortured, raped and humiliated in unspeakable ways daily now for almost three years separately at first but after the death eaters broke their spirits they started to house them together partly to make it easier no need for three separate guard and partly for the sick pleasure of making two watch will the other was tortured and raped. Right now Ginny was upstairs with Bellatrix for the evening entertainment as Bellatrix called it.
Every night Bellatrix would come down pick one of them and torture them for the fun of it before going to bed. This was the new Lestrange manor given to Bellatrix by Voldemort after his victory for her loyal servitude to him. She kept these three around for her amusement she rarely tortured all three at once anymore unless she was hosting a party and need the others for extra entertainment.
The screaming stopped and as expected a few minutes later the dungeon doors opened and Ginny was thrown down the stairs, when she reached the bottom the closed the door laughing then two shadowy figures approached her and began to work on doctoring her wounds. The wrapped strips of semi clean cloth around her open wounds and cleaned the blood and bruises of her body and wrapped the new burn marks as well.
Once Heather and Hermione were down they sat back and waited for Ginny to wake up. "Harry… Harry where are you" muttered Ginny "We have to tell her one day Hermione" said Heather "She deserves to know he's not coming to save her he's dead" Hermione replied "I know but I can't help but feel that will do more harm than good to her." Hermione and Ginny had been captured at the final fight of Hogwarts heather had managed to escape but was captured a few weeks she had heard from her capture that potter was thrown into the veil to be with his good for nothing god father.
She had told Hermione this one day while Ginny was "out" with mister Malfloy on a visit to Bellatrix but Hermione had insisted that they keep it between them for the sake of Ginny that Harry's memories were the only thing keeping her going. They knew the Order of the Phoenix was still out their resisting because when Bellatrix come home after failing to capture some of them she would really cut lose on one or more of the girls. This was their world; this was their hell, they tried to survive in.
They hadn't tried suicide since they had been placed together saying one would not go unless all could go because leaving even one of them here to endure this hell alone was unthinkable to them for some reason. Then something odd happened one day after their daily meal that consisted of a two buckets set at the top of the stairs one with water and the other with whatever table scraps weren't eaten at the night before dinner, they heard screams from upstairs they didn't know if it was from a male or female.
After a while it stopped and they heard footsteps coming towards the door just before it was flung open and someone tossed down the stairs "If you really want to find the blood traitors and that Mudblood Granger then fine be with them" and a body was flung down it laid there for a minute before the door was thrown shut and they stayed frozen a minute longer listening for her outside once it was safe they moved towards the body when they reached it they tried to see who it was it was a guy around their age with dark brown hair and tannish complexion wearing now raggedy blue jeans and t shirt with tennis shoes.
Heather reached out to touch him and suddenly his hand shot out like a snack ensnaring her hand in its iron grip "I'm awake " said a low voice almost somewhere between awake and asleep. He sat up "Are you Heather, Hermione and Ginny?" he asked, "Yes" answered Hermione "What did Bellatrix mean by you wanted to be with us?" he looked at her sidelong for a minute like he was sizing them up before her answered "She thinks I'm an Order of the Phoenix member sent to rescue you guys"
"Are you?" squeaked Ginny her throat still raw from the night before but still barley concealing her hope. He looked at her in turn next after Hermione "No, I'm not with the order but I am here to rescue you." He said calmly before focusing on Heather last, his gaze sharp like a razor blade but harder than the stone floor below them. "Then who are you with another faction of the resistance "asked Heather "No I'm not with any of them" he sat back and closed his eyes appearing to sleep.
"Then who?" asked Heather again looking for information from the outside "That will be revealed in time but for now just trust me and tell me everything you can about this manors interior layout." He sat back and listened as they described everything they knew about their prison and its inhabitants including were Bellatrix kept their wands she used to torture them with.
Once he had listened for a while they feel silent assuming that was all he laid over like he was about to sleep Ginny asked for his name "Namikaze,Hiro" after a while Hermione worked up the courage and asked "Hiro how are you still planning on rescuing use I assume they took your wand?" "They did and since you've told me that doors around here can only be locked and unlocked with magic I am forced to go with plan b and fight my way out" he said. "How there is so many of them and they have magic some of them are even werewolves" said Heather he looked at here before he replied " I am wand less yes but I'm not unarmed or without "magic" of a sort, now let's get some rest ill wake you all before our escape"
the look on his face and the tone of his voice said there was no argument so they went over to the corner with their shared blankets and laid down on one and pulled the other over their naked bodies only now realizing they were all naked before Hiro. 'How much has our time here changed us' they wondered as they drifted off to sat up planning their escape and listening for the tell footsteps to come down the hall to announce the opening of the door.
He had nodded off for a nap, not that he would be able to actually sleep in this place normally he didn't know how the girls managed to do it, but after a while he figured you would be able to get used to it and adapt but he didn't plan on being here that long. His escape was walking its way down the hall way towards him he didn't know who they were or what they wanted but when that door opened they were dead, he guessed they were male, heavy build.
He smiled in the darkness and walked over to the girls "Wake up were getting out of here" he shook the closest one to him when she snapped awake she cringed from his touch 'What did they do to them in here?' he thought as he motioned for silence and for Ginny to wake the others.
In a minute they waited at the bottom of the stairs the girls standing back in the darkness afraid and excited for what was to come. Hiro was standing at the foot of the stairs as bold as brass when the light flung open revealing two of the many guards that worked for Bellatrix, when they saw Hiro they leveled their wands at him saying "Move mudblood filth".
He just smiled up at them with a look in his eyes that could have made even the Dark Lord's blood run cold. After a tense second one of them stepped forward and said "Crucio!" they girls winced as the red light left the wand and collided squarely with Hiro's chest and yet all he did was jerk forward from the pain but he kept smiling at them with the same look.
"What the … how did h" that was all the guard said beforeHiro's upturned palm connected straight with his nose killing him instantly, as he fell backwards Hiro snatched a bowie like knife from his belt and spun towards the second guard slashing with such force that he severed his head with a single swing. He looked back at the girls "Follow me " he stepped out of the doorway and made a cross with his fingers suddenly before the girl's wide eyes there were two of him "Go get their wands from Bellatrix's torture chamber and then cover our escape meet up with us later " the second him ran off at a break neck pace.
"How did you do that?" asked Hermione "No time "answered Hiro "Follow me if you want out" he turned and began a quick pace down the hallway the girls right on his heels. At the entrance to the dungeon they ran into a third guard who reached for his wand only to be punched in the throat to stop his yell and to be disemboweled by Hiro's large knife all in the same movement, he died before he hit the floor.
The girls stopped only for a moment at this but Hiro kept going soon they were up and on to the first level of the house. As they spotted the back door a tall fat man came out of the bathroom and saw them "Mud…" that was all he said before Hiro reached up and forced his mouth shut and grabbed the back of his head in the same movement knocking him to the floor in the hallway and twisting his head one hundred and eighty degrees around.
Hiro rolled off the fat man and shoved him back into the bathroom. The girls had stepped over that fat man and were almost to the door and Hiro breezed by and stopped them quietly before he looked around and checked to see if anyone was outside of the house. It was all clear in the pitch black night his superior senses picking up no one outside the house "Let's move" he said as they slipped out into the night.
Once of the manor property they met up with the other him and he took their wands from the clone and suddenly he disappeared in a puff of smoke as he slipped their wands into his belt beside the knife. They ran for what seemed like hours to the go before Hiro said "You guys take a break I need to find something around here" at this the girls drop to the ground leaning against trees for the first time since they got out noticing the snowfall and cold temperatures.
Heather turned to Hiro he was poking treesnearby and talking to himself "What time of year is it and what are you doing?" he stopped and looked up at the cloudy night sky "Mid-November if I remember correctly and I'm looking for my supplies". "Supplies?" asked Hermione "Yea, did you think I would walk into Leastrange manor to let myself get captured with all my supplies for this mission" they stared at him dumbstruck as he walked away "What do you mean let yourself get captured?" asked Ginny "And what mission?" said Heather "For that matter who and what are you?" Hermione finally asked.
At first he didn't answer simply put his hand into the hollow of a tree removing a medium sized black backpack from the tree. When he spoke again his tone didn't give any for argument "I will explain all once were further away from here and camped for the night, but for now let's keep moving". With that he took off and they followed they moved on for two hours much the same slowing regularly so that the girls could catch their breath.
When they came to a small clearing in the woods he stopped and said "Let's set up camp here tonight" he knelt removing the book bag from his back and began speaking "I come from the village hidden in the leaves" he removed a scroll, "I allowed myself to be captured by Bellatrix's guards so that I could find out were exactly they were holding you ladies".
After this he took the knife out he had gotten from the death eater guards, "My mission was to find all those who will resist Tom Riddle aka Voldemort and bring them to headquarters", he raised the knife and cut his finger and smeared it on the scroll as the girls winced as he did this "I found out you three were being held by one Bellatrix Le Strange cousin of SiriusBlack godfather of my friend who is also in a way my employer".
With this the three girls froze "Who is your friend?" asked Ginny her voice not concealing her tremble "Harry Potter" answeredHiro "That's impossible he's dead" said Heather and Hermione in unison. "Really what makes you say that?"he looked at them his head turned sideways over the open scroll on his lap. "I heard he was thrown into the veil in the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic" said Heather "Yeah, he was" said Hiro."But doesn't that mean you're dead" said Heather "No it simply transported him to my world about five or so years ago and his God father actually arrived a few years before that".
With this he placed his hand on the scroll and suddenly there was a puff of smoke and where the scroll had been was now a tent. The tent summoning seemed to silence the "that's impossible" argument for now. He turned to them "As for who and what I am, I am HiroNamikaze and I am a shinobi" they all gave him a dumbfounded look as he stepped into the tent.
The girls stepped in after him and discovered that the inside of the tent had been magically enlarged much like the Weasley tent only a good degree larger, "So if you're not a wizard how can you do magic like what you did with the tent and cloning yourself". He leaned out from behind a flap in the back of the bedroom section of the tent exposing half his chest as they could see it had some scars on it "That was a ninjutsu or ninja art, it's used by people in my profession".
Then he returned behind the flap and stepped out from behind it a minute later wearing black cargo pants with the regular black toe less shoes of the ninja, with brown t shirt with a green chunin vest over it all, with his haita tied around his right arm to top it off. "There is a team shower back their (like in a football locker room) and some fresh cloths on the bed" , as he said this all three girls became aware for the second time in ages that they were all naked and standing in front of a stranger none the less.
When he sees them realized this Hiro politely turns way and covers his eyes. They all run past him in a hurry to get in the shower and feel at least some semblance of clean again. They each took long hot showers not really looking at each other fearing what they see might reveal what their own bodies look like after those long years of darkness. After while they get out and find 3 complete sets of clothes including the toe less shoes worn by Hiro on the three bunks at the back of the bedroom with his book bag laying towards the entrance on the first bunk. Once they dressed,Ginny in a toe less shoes black skirt and white blouse, Hermione in blue jeans and t shirt and a blue jacket,Heather in red shirt blue jeans with blue toe less shoes like the other two.
they stepped out from behind the bedroom flap to find Hiro in the kitchen area making food. He set out 4 plates on a big table with trout on the plates with bread roles and he is just putting rice in the bowls beside their plates as they step out. "I thought you guys might be hungry so I went out and got us some meat for dinner" the girls looked at him dumbfounded as they sat down after all those years of being used and abused having someone take their feelings and needs into consideration was very strange feeling for them.
Hiro said nothing as he poured each of them tea in turn before himself finally settling down at the the table. "If ninja can't do magic then how did you make this tent?" asked Hermione. "Who told you we can't, we can do magic just like you people it's similar to our chakra and ninja arts. However to answer your question Harry did this" answered Hiro. "Harry did this" said Ginny and Heather in unison "Yes he's grown up very much so being in our world and thanks to his shinobi training according to Sirius" said Hiro.
"What do you mean shinobi training?" asked Hermione with a slightly curious look on her face as they began to eat. "I mean he's passed our ninja academy training and is of the chunin rank now, he's been training almost the entire time so he can come back and help out here" said Hiro as he bit into his fish " I say almost the entire time because it took some convincing for us to help him, but after being probed by the Anbu , Sirius coming forward as a further proof of his tale, using their magic, and finally checking their claims against some information found within the secret Hokage archives we agreed to help."
He said after he finished chewing his fish. "What is a Hokage?" asked Ginny as she ate "And what are their secret archives?" asked Hermione after she drank her tea. "Well the Hokage is the leader of our village, but a kage means shadow and is a title given to the leader ninja of a ninja village, for instance the leader of the village hidden in the sand our alley is called Kazekage. As for the secret archives of the Hokage , well their just what it sounds like secret archives only accessible by the Hokage themselves, very few outside of the Hokage even know where their located, and no one but a Hokage has ever even read them."
Hiro said yawning as he finished his meal. He leaned back and looked at the ceiling closing his eyes "Oh yeah I almost forgot these" with this he withdrew three pieces of various wood from his belt and set them on the table "Your wands I'm hoping you ladies will know which one is which because I have no idea" said Hiro. Each of the girls stared blankly at the instruments of their torture. They had never blamed their wands for what was done to them; they were simply tools being used by evil to do evil things not necessarily evil themselves but forced to do things outside of their control.
With all these thoughts swirling inside the three girls heads Heather reached out and picked up her wand and almost instantly she knew this was indeed her wand and when she waved it and sparks of gold flew out of the tip she felt an overwhelming sense of security having her wand back in her hand again so overwhelmed was she about being free on the way to see her friends and family that she began to cry. Now the other girls were crying to as they repeated the same actions,Heather had moments before they were crying for sadness over what had happened to them those long years of imprisonment, they cried out of joy at their freedom and that they were heading to safety, and they simply cried for simply being overwhelmed at all that had happened in a single days' time.
Hiro watched all of this his face nearly perfectly maintaining his emotionless facade, he had learned through years of ninja training that shinobi never show emotion. That was all fine in theory but here and now confronted with three starved ,beaten, and crying teens he was unable to keep it completely concealed both his happiness for their escape and safety and his anger and disgust at those who would do this to them simply for being born. He rose and began to collect their plates now that they were done eating he patted them on the back and left his hand their almost rubbing their backs before he moved on to the next one's dishes.
He stepped out of the dining area and over to the kitchen and drew the drapes closed behind him to give the girls some privacy. Once he was out of the room the girls drew close to each other and kept crying for a while, when they quieted down it and it appeared that he wasn't going to be coming out of the kitchen anytime soon they began talking amongst themselves about what was going on.
"What do you guy's think of Hiro and all this parallel dimension stuff he's talking about" said Heather, "It is possible" said Hermione "No one knows were the veil really goes for sure". "Yeah that's true, but you guys don't think this is just another Death Eater trick trying to get us to reveal any more information about the order members that we know?" asked Ginny. "I don't know it's possible" said Heather "but highly unlikely" said Hermione "They tortured, and probed our minds for years I think they have learned all they can from us"
She said looking almost happy again. Ginny seemed to perk up at this because it increased the possibility that Hiro was telling the truth and bringing her closer to the one she loved once again "Yeah besides" said Ginny"We've been trapped I those stinking dungeons for years like we know any more that they do about the outside world.", heather laughed a halfway forced laugh "Yeah it's not like we were allowed mail privileges while in that place." Then the girls sat in silence for a minute or two. Finally Hermione spoke up "But to be on the safe side no one tell him anything you feel that to important for him to know just yet till we get a feel for what's going on", The other girls nodded in agreement.
Hiro who had been using his keen ninja senses to listen in from the start while in the kitchen decided to leave them be about this if it gave them security and besides tell them he was eavesdropping using his supper senses wouldn't earn him many brownie points with the girls. Although he had to admire the girls for civilians in a war situation they were being remarkable intuitive, he or any decent ninja worth his head band would do the same.
Once he had finished the dishes he stepped back outside the kitchen flap and said "Lets gets some sleep ladies were starting out bright and early in the morning" he flashed them a sincere smile and walked off towards the shower and in a few minutes reemerged with black shorts and a white t shirt that said "Rock On" on the chest. After he placed some PJs on each girl's bed complete with blue slippers matching the fuzzy blue fabric they were made of, he laid down and closed his eyes. After a few minutes of silent whispering they got up and went behind the flap for the showers and changed into their PJs. After this they laid down in their warm cots, and one by one they all drifted off to sleep.
