No escape

The last thing on Harry's mind was Ginny's lips on his. He closed his eyes en prepared for his dead. He could hear Hagrid screaming in the background, wrestling against his restrains, he could feel the excitement of the death eaters in the air.

Harry expected any moment to see a green light through his eye lashes. But nothing happened. He opened his eyes in surprise. Voldemort had his wand raised, pointing on his chest. A snake like smile covered his face.

That smile unnerved Harry more than anything. He had never seen Voldemort smile. This could never be a good thing, Harry thought before Voldemort gave a sweep with his wand and Harry was thrown into the air.

The movement even got the Death Eaters by surprise, as Harry smacked against the nearest tree landing in a heap on the ground. The air got knocked out of his lungs. He gasped desperately for oxygen.

Voldemort moved slowly towards him, his eyes never left him. He was still smiling. Nagini was circling around his feet. Harry shook the wand out of his garment but before he could do anything Voldemort cast a disarming spell and the wand flew in Voldemort's hand.

Voldemort pointed his wand towards Harry and Harry was pressed against the cold wet grass. He fought against the invisible restrains but he couldn't move a inch. Voldemort kneeled down before him. Harry couldn't do anything else then stare in those deadly red eyes.

'Do you really think I am that stupid, Harry?' Voldemort whispered so soft that only he could hear him. Harry saw that Bellatrix Lestrange tried to lean in to overhear wat was said but one look of Voldemort was enough to back away. 'I know what you are. Just like you.'

Harry's eyes widened in surprise. 'H- how?'

'Snape wasn't as good as he thought he was. As he was dying his shield faded and I could see his memory's and thoughts. Thanks to my beloved Nagini, of course.' Voldemort petted the large snake on her head. Nagini hissed annoyed.

Harry knew why. She was hungry and tired of being locked down. She wanted to eat. And he was the one on the menu. He swallowed as Nagini glided towards him and wrapped her body around his useless legs.

'Nagini,' Voldemort hissed, standing up. The snake looked up. 'We'll find you a more suitable meal, the boy is off limit.' Nagini hissed annoyed but let Harry go, disappearing into the dark night.

'Dark lord,' Bella was the only one brave enough to step forward. 'What's going on? Why aren't you killing Potter?'

Voldemort slowly turned around, turning his back on Harry who still couldn't move. He was no threat for him anymore. 'From now on Mr. Potter is our guest. He shall not be harmed, touched or killed, understood?'

There fell a silence. 'But, lord…' Lucius Malfoy stepped forwards but fell to his knees immediatelly as those red eyes turn towards him. 'Why? You've been hunting him down for so long now and now we finally have him, you want to spare his life?'

Voldemort didn't look annoyed by the questions. He knew he had to give the Death Eaters some kind of explonation even though Harry doubted that he would tell them the truth. Voldemort trusted nobody. 'We all know that there are far worse things than dead, don't we?'

The Death Eaters mumbled. 'Killing Harry won't be satisfying but don't worry, he'll suffer, I promise you that.' Voldemort turned his eyes on Harry again. 'After all, the Potter boy has a lot of friends who he would hate to lose, haven't you, Harry?'

Harry could feel the anger boiling to the surface, giving him enough power to break through to the invisible restrains and jumping on his feet. 'If you hurt any of my friends. I'll –'

With a swift movement of his wand Voldemort lifted Harry tree feed into the air. 'You do what, exactly?'

The Death Eaters laughed, this is what they wanted to see. Voldemort playing with Harry like a cat with a mouse, before ending him. But they all knew that Voldemort wouldn't kill Harry.

'I meant it, Harry. I won't kill you. You are now to valuable for me. But there are plenty of ways to make you suffer.' Voldemort raised his wand. Harry was lifted higher into the air, suddenly he felt the magic disappear around him. He fell down towards the ground and landed with a loud thud in a pool of mud. He could hear one of his ribs break. He clenched his teeth together. He refused to show Voldemort and his followers that he was hurting.

'Crucio!'

This time Harry couldn't hold back the scream. He was sure the whole world could hear him. He heard Hagrid screaming but his words were drowned by the laughing and cheering of the Death Eaters.

Voldemort held him so long under the cruciatus curse that Harry started to see stars and hoped that the darkness would come soon. But just when he was about to lose consciousness Voldemort lifted the curse.

Harry fought for oxygen. All strenght had left his body. His voice was hoarse from screaming. The darkness started to come but before he could give himself over to the darkness he was pulled on his feet by his hair. Red eyes studied him closely as if he was some kind of guinea pig that people used to experience on.

Harry tried to stand on his own feet but his feet couldn't carry his weight, Voldemort held him up by his hair. And it hurt like hell.

'I do intend on keeping my promise to my loyal followers, Harry.' Voldemort placed a ice cold finger on Harry's scar.

Harry screamed out in pain when he felt a sharp pain shot through his whole body.

'You have no idea what I can do to you. But you'll find out soon enough. After all, there are worse things than dead. And I can't wait for you to find out.' Voldemort let Harry go.

Harry fell on his knees back into the pool of mud. His broken ribs protested painfully when he took a deep breath. Voldemort turned his back on him. 'Tie him up. Let's bring The Boy Who Lived to his loyal followers, shall we?'

Xxx

Ginny was the first one who noticed the Death Eaters walking towards the castle, led by Voldemort and…

She felt her inside grow cold, her knees almost gave out when she saw a dishevelled looking Harry pushed forward by Bella Lestrange. His arms werd tied behind his back and she saw that he was wearing chains around his ankles which made it hard to keep up, but Bella didn't show any mercy on her prisoner as she gave him a hard push forward everytime Harry slowed down or tripped.

Harry was covered in mud and blood. It was clear to her that they had tortured him. Which was, to be honest, not what she expected. She had expected that if Voldemort ever got his dirty hands on Harry that he would kill him.

What was going on?

'Ginny, why aren't you inside? We want –'

Ginny didn't hear Ron's words as her brother came to a halt next to her and fell silent. His face paled at the sight of a tied up Harry. They both couldn't move, they were to shocked.

Ginny tried to make eye contact with Harry but he refused to look at her, he kept his eyes on the ground instead. O God, Harry, what happened?

Voldemort stopped in front of the castle, he pointed his wand on his throath and a moment later his voice surrounded the castle: 'The battle is over. I have Harry Potter. There is no point of fighting anymore. I want everyone outside now, if you disobey I won't hesitate to kill you and everyone you love.'

Slowly the survivers left the castle to see what was going on. Hermione grabbed Ron's arm when she saw Harry. Tears filled her eyes, she shook her head in disbelieve. And she wasn't the only one. Almost everyone reacted that way.

Ginny stood next to her parents, desperately seeking for any eye contact with Harry.

'The war is over, I've won. It's time to surrender yourself and your lives will be spared.' Voldemort grabbed Harry by his arm and dragged him forward. 'If you still show any kind of resistance, your beloved hero will pay. I'll give you a small demonstration.'

He threw Harry in front of his feet. Harry couldn't break his fall since his hands were tight behind his back and fell painfully on his stomach. He could feel another rib break and couldn't held back a groan of pain.

Voldemort raised his wand. Ginny reacted on instinct. While everyone was still to shocked to move she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. She pulled out her own wand and casted a shield spell at the same time Voldemort threw a crucio curse at Harry.

Due to the impact Harry was thrown a few metres into the air and landed a few feet away from Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Ginny took this chance and ran towards Harry. She heard her dad call out her name but she ignored him. The only thing on her mind was that she had to protect Harry.

'Harry,' Ginny kneeled down beside him. Harry opened his eyes. Blood was dripping out of his mouth. 'I am so sorry. I just… I wanted to help. I didn't meant to hurt you.'

'Ginny, get back,' Harry whispered.

'I am not leaving you.'

'Gin, he knows what I am. He won't kill me.'

Ginny stared at him confused. 'He knows what you are? What do you mean? I don't understand.'

'You don't have to, Gin, get back. Don't try to protect me. You'll only get hurt, because of me. He wants me to suffer. He'll use you to destroy me.'

'I can't just stand by, Harry.'

Suddenly Voldemort appeared before them. Ginny's heart was racing with fear. The only time she had stood head to head with Voldemort, was when his name was still Tom Riddle and she was a naïve little eleven year old girl.

But she was not that girl anymore. Harry couldn't do anything. He had saved her many times, he had saved a lot of people. Now it was her time to save him. She stood up to stand in front of Harry, her wand drawn at Voldemort.

'Ginny, what are you doing?' Harry stared at her in disbelieve.

'Saving you,' Ginny whispered, not leaving her eyes on Voldemort.

'Look at that!' Voldemort grinned as much as he could with his snake like face. 'Do you have a girl friend, Potter?'

The Death Eaters laughed. Ginny could hear Ron and her parents yell her name and telling her to draw back. But Ginny wasn't planning on leaving Harry's side.

The fear of losing Ginny gave Harry the power to stand. Ginny turned her head. Their eyes locked for a brief moment before Harry turned towards Voldemort. 'Leave her alone, Tom. This is between you and me. She has nothing to do with this.'

'O, but I disagree. You have broken a few ribs, you're covered in blood and mud and I guess that your ankle is broken too,' Voldemort's eyes swept over Harry's broken body. Harry was only standing because of his fear of losing Ginny but he could feel the pain in his ankle as soon as Voldemort said it. He was right. His ankle was broken. 'Only someone you care about that is in danger gives you the strenght to stand right now. I wonder if that is what Dumbledore meant with that love will save you? I think we'll find out.' He waved his wand at Ginny.

Harry pushed Ginny aside. They landed on the hard cold ground. Ginny's wand flew out of her hand, rolling towards the side of the Death Eaters. Bellatrix picked it up with a satisfied smile on her face. Harry looked up. The ground were they stood only a few seconds ago had changed into a big dark hole.

If Harry hadn't taken action there would be nothing left of Ginny.

Harry gave Ginny a quick look over. 'Are you okay?' She nodded, her face pale. Her heart was racing. 'Go, to your family. Now!'

'Aha, I would like for her to stay, Potter.' Voldemort waved his wand and a spell shot out of his wand, surrounding the three of them in a bubble. The survivers took action but their spells disappeared when they hit the bubble.

'So, finally we have some privacy.' Voldemort circled the pair, Harry held Ginny, who was shivering, close to his chest. 'So, you love her, Potter?'

Harry clenched his teeth together. The reason why he broke up with Ginny was to protect her, but now Voldemort knew about their relationship and everything he had done to protect Ginny has fallen apart.

'O come on, don't be shy. It's obvious that she loves you.' Voldemort stared at Ginny. Harry tried to block his view from her as best as he could but he knew it was useless. They're trapped. Surrendered at Voldemort's mercy. He had never been so afraid in his whole life.

'You know of what this reminds me off?' The question was directed at Harry but he kept silent, his eyes never leaving the dark lord, waiting for his next move. 'Red hair, dark hair. She was attractive, he was… a pain in the ass.'

Voldemort pointed his wand at Harry. 'It's like I am having a deja vu. Do you know about who I am talking about, Potter? Answer if I am asking something. Crucio.'

The spell wasn't directed at Harry but at Ginny. Harry was to slow. The curse hit Ginny in her chest and she screamed out in pain.

'Stop!' Harry yelled.

'Just answer the question.'

'My parents! You're talking about my parents.'

Voldemort lifted the curse. Ginny gasped for air. She had never felt so much pain in her life. Harry took her in his arms, whispering in her ear to take deep breaths. 'That wasn't so hard, right, Potter?'

Harry glared at Voldemort but said nothing, afraid that if he said anything that he would make things worse.

'Your dad sacrificed himself to save your mother and you. It was a shame though. He was a talented wizzard. Sadly he refused to stand by my side. Your mother sacrificed herself for you, as you know. I am wondering how far you're willing to go to keep her save? Crucio!'

This time Harry shielded Ginny with his own body. He screamed when the curse hit him. He saw the fear in Ginny's eyes. She tried to help him but there was nothing she could do to lift the curse. Only Voldemort was able to lift the curse.

After a few minutes the curse was lifted. Harry gasped for air. 'Harry.' Ginny wrapped her arms around him. 'I am so sorry I –'

Before she could say anything more another Cruciatus curse was thrown her way and Harry pushed her down, again protecting her with his body.

'Stop!' Ginny yelled, tears streamed down her face. 'Can't you see he has had enough? Stop it!' The curse was lifted and Harry fought to stay consious, the world was spinning around him. He heard Ginny cry next to him. He tried to move but his body refused to obey.

'I agree, Miss Weasley.' Voldemort lifted the bubble around them. 'I know enough now. Take them inside.'

Bellatrix walked with a hungry glint in her eyes to Ginny. 'Easy, Bella. Miss Weasley is our guest too. Afterall, we don't want to separate our two lovers, right?'

Bellatrix grinned widely. 'Of course not, my lord. That would be so cruel.' She tied Ginny's hands together and pried her away from Harry. Ginny protested loudly but when Bellatrix got help from two other Death Eaters she was powerless.

Voldemort kneels beside Harry. With a lot of effort Harry lifted his head. 'Leave her alone, Tom. She's innocent.'

'Nobody is innocent, Harry. You'll learn soon enough. Besides I know now what she means to you and I am planning on using that. I think you begin the understand now what I meant with that there are worse things then dead. You will beg me to kill you, Potter. And you know the best thing is? I won't. You'll suffer for the rest of your miserable life. You will pay for what you've done to me.' Voldemort stands up. 'Take him inside.'

Harry watched powerless as Ginny was holted back into the castle. Followed by the survivers and the Death Eaters. He was pulled on his feet by two pair of strong hands but before they were moving he was drifted off to the darkness.
