I sat shaking on the cold, stone floor. One of my arms were chained to the wall, the other to the ceiling. Climbing to one knee I heard the lock on the door click and open. Before I could register the soft foot steps a pair of warm hands rested them selves on my cheeks. "Hey kid.. If you can hear me.. Nod." a husky male's voice said as he swiped some of the dirt from my cheeks and lifted the blind fold from my eyes. All I saw was darkness. "Can you open your eyes for me? " He asked as my wrists came loose from the restraints. With out support I fell forward against his chest, the tattered clothe that was once my shirt slipped from my shoulders leaveing my chest, shoulders, and mid body bare. I opened my eyes.

The male shifted and pulled off his jacket and draped it around my shoulders, zipping it up to hide my form from the world. He pulled me to my feet but I let out a dry sob as I pitched forward once again. Making a sad noise and shakeing his head he caught me and lifted me into his arms.

After a careful climb up the cellar stairs and through the house he opened the door. I was flooded with warmth and a blinding light. Crying out I burrowed my face into the mans chest. "Sorry kid. Forgot about that." he mumbled.

A woman's voice broke the silence. "We need to get her some proper clothes and tell Dumbledore we've found the girl." she sounded quite mean but it was reassuring to be near a female. I was laid on a soft blanket and there was a movement beside me. I felt a warm hand as it was stroked against my cool, blood stained cheek. "Can you tell me your name hun?" the lady asked.

"I.. I don't know" I mumbled out as my voice cracked. As the vehicle we were in started to move I drifted into a dream of what was awaiting me. It was a nice dream.
