Harry felt his entire body cringe in pain as he was forced through another apparation. After three weeks of being a prisoner of the death eaters and being under constant cruciatus curses, Harry's body shook in pain with even the slightest move. The breath rattled in his body. He knew he should have been happy to have seen the sky again over head but some how he knew the end was coming.

Harry watched her coming towards him. Betrayed by someone who he had thought of as a sister. Ginny Weasley, death eater, traitor.

He remembered that night when she had asked him to meet her on the grounds. He had been surprised; she had not spoken to him since she learned he was gay. He had not revealed to anyone the identity of his lover. He should have known something was up but he had trusted her. After all she was a Weasley, his family.

He had been caught by death eaters and taken to Riddle manor. He had suffered beatings and hexes, his body raped over and over by both males and females. The worst had been Ginny.

She walked over to him now. "Oh Harry, make it easy on yourself and stop fighting."

Harry looked at her and saw the madness in her eyes he had only though to see in Bellatrix before. "Never."

"Still have your hopes that the order of the phoenix will save you?" She laughed.

No. Harry knew they wouldn't come. Sirius dead and Remus gone under cover on the continent to try and win some werewolves over, Harry knew he could not count on them. Maybe Moody and Tonks, but not the rest. Dumbledore, the manipulative bastard would see to that.

But he had hope. He desperately had clung to it. Where were they? The two men he knew he could count on for anything. They should have been among the death eaters, spies, to protect him. Had Voldemort found out and killed them.

Ginny smiled. "You think you're such a smart one don't you. Think we wouldn't find out. Didn't think you never cried his name out when we tortured you."

Harry shuttered. No, he couldn't have, could he. "I don't know what you're babbling on about."

"Severus Snape."

Harry tried to calm himself. "What would I want with that bastard?"

"Going to pretend he's not your lover? We'll see about that." Ginny laughed.

Two more death eaters appeared and propped up between them was the limp form of a man who looked unconscious if not dead. Harry knew without seeing his face that it was Severus. No. He had betrayed his lover. Or had he?

Ginny went over to him. "Maybe if I start cutting off body parts you might remember who he is."

Harry shook his head. "My old professor."

Ginny used a slashing charm and sliced a huge cut across Severus' chest. The body twitched in pain. Severus was ennerviated and Harry's eyes met his mate's eyes, the pain in his eyes was reflected in his lover's.

"Thank God you're alive harry" Severus reached out to him.

"Are you okay Sev?"

"Yes. Hold on Harry help is coming. Please just hold on. Don't give in to them."

"As long as you are with me."

Their mental bond was cut off when Severus screamed in pain as he was slice open along the arm this time. Harry tried as hard as he could to listen to what his lover had said and not let on that they were involved but he was losing control.

Suddenly he heard pops and saw a number of people apparating into the field. Aurors and members of the order. Harry took cover. He had no wand any more. He could do nothing to protect himself. Severus was let to fall into a heap on the grass as Ginny disappeared. The concubine of the dark lord had been given a portkey which allowed her to escape even with the anti apparition wards set up by the aurors.

In the midst of all of the fighting Harry saw Severus being taken by a form in death eater robes.

"Severus"

"Don't panic Harry. It's Lucius. He's come to rescue us."

"Thank Merlin."

"Lucius tells me to tell you to just hang on. Someone will be grabbing you in a moment."

Harry watched as Lucius used his own hidden portkey to take Severus away but before his own rescue came he was grabbed by the back of the neck and drawn to his feet. He was not looking at a Death eater though; he had been brought face to face with an auror. Kingsley Shacklebot to be precise.

"Harry Potter you are under arrest for death eater activity, torture and murder." The man barked.

Harry blanched. "I haven't done anything. I've been a prisoner for three weeks."

Shacklebot sneered. "Your wand has been traced to murders of three muggles and two wizards in the past few weeks and now we have found you at a meeting."

His wand. Stolen. Voldemort was able to use it because it was a twin to his own. Voldemort had been out using his wand to commit crimes while he was being tortured and his so called allied thought he was to blame.

"I want to see Moody. Moody will believe me." Harry pleaded as he felt the manacles put on.

Shacklebot laughed. "Moody's been given the boot. Last I heard he was in France." He turned to the other aurors. "Take him to Azkaban."

"No. I get a trial. You can't just throw me away." Harry demanded.

"New laws were put in a few days ago. Any death eater gets prison without a trial." Shacklebot laughed.

Harry felt his entire body was going to be ripped in two as once again he was forced to suffer apparation. As he was dragged off to Azkaban to be locked away for life, his last thoughts were.

Where are you Severus?
