1Harry paced the kitchen in the Order's Headquarters, 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Harry, mate, you've got to calm down, Dumbledore will find her," Ron intoned carefully,
looking at Harry.
But it was the last straw for Harry. "What in bloody hell's gotten into you, you great
PRAT? She could be anywhere, being tortured, and we aren't doing a GODDAMN thing!"
With that he fell down onto his knees, head in hands, and sobbed. Fortunately he didn't know how
right he was.
Hermione watched in horror as Bellatrix Lestrage came walking slowly to where she was
chained by her wrists, dangling from the wall. The madwoman's wand that was held menacingly in
front of her face was the only source illumination in the room.
"Won't you scream for me, my poor little Mudblood?" Bellatrix said in a singsong voice.
"Oh, that's right. You can't," she finished gleefully. On the first day of her capture, Hermione's
torturer, Bellatrix, and used magic to sew her lips shut. It had taken days for the tears in her eyes to

madwoman intently from beneath her now hooded lids, she noticed the Bellatrix didn't draw back
her arm.
Instead she jabbed it forward, straight to Hermione's temple.
"MMMMmhMHmHHHMMM!" Hermione screamed, the sound muffled through the
stitches. But as she persisted with the banshee-like sound, her magic went wild, blowing her hair
back, ripping open the stitches. Hermione felt a pain she had never felt before. It was in her head, it
was all her memories being ripped, forcefully taken from her. She realized what was happening as
she was being drained of her most precious moments. She kept screaming and held onto one
memory- of her getting her Hogwarts letter. Then she blacked out, the last sounds her mind
registering where her screams and Bellarix's mad laugh echoing throughout the dungeon.
A/N: Short, but you have to tell me if it's any good– should I continue? Should I make it R/Hr, or H/Hr? REVIEWS!
