A pretty angsty one shot I wrote to pass time.
I know this one shot was uploaded before in my HHR oneshot story but today I kind of pissed of my brother and he in his infinite wisdom saw fit to log onto my account and delete that story.
Laughter of Insanity
Azkaban, a place that is reeks of death and decay, it is a place were the strongest man will be destroyed, a place that sucked all life from its inhabitants. This place was home to a man who was looked up to as a hero; he was the man they turned to when all hope was lost and yet now he sits in prison dreaming only for a quick death, that man is Harry Potter.
It had been five years since he had been there, five years since he had any contact with any human. His only friend was the dementor that stood constantly outside his door. His food was given to him by house elves but none of them ever spoke to him or let him see them. Once a handsome young man now a shell of his younger self, his skin is pale and tight against his skin, his green eyes once filled with light are now dull, dark and lifeless, he is extremely thin with his bones visible and his hair once a mop of shaggy black hair now hangs limp down to his shoulders streaked with grey. He does not say a word, he just sits there and stares at the walls, the only time any sound comes from his cell is in the night when he laughs, his laugh is high pitched, cold and mirthless and scares the hell out of the guards that are unlucky to patrol that area. They say that he is insane and that he laughs because he enjoyed killing all those people but others know different, they call it the laugh of death and they know why he laughs because they were there when he was laughing like a maniac standing over the bodies of his victims.
Today was a day like every other day for auror Tonks as she patrols the prison, she looks at each cell and remembers what each one did. She eventually arrived at the forbidden corridor that held only one prisoner; it pained her every time she came here knowing what he did. Then she heard that laugh, it echoed on the walls and caused a shiver to run down her back as she remembered the day she heard it five years ago.
FLASHBACK
She was at the auror HQ just sitting at her desk waiting for the day to end, then suddenly a floo came in asking for help at the Burrow as there was a crazed lunatic killing person. She immediately got into action thinking that it was some rouge deatheater; she grabbed some floo powder and immediately left for the Burrow.
On her arrival she was immediately hit by a stench of death as she surveyed her surroundings she saw Molly Weasley or what was parts of her on the kitchen table ripped to shreds with her head placed on top of it and the look on her face was that of utmost terror. She looked away as she felt bile rise up her throat, she then saw Authur lying on the floor, it looked like someone had just took a knife and carved him up and yet he was still breathing, she realized that it must have been him that flood the aurors. She rushed to him and held him up as he gasped for breath with a look of pure terror in his eyes he pointed towards the stairs and gasped "H…Ha…Harry" before taking his final breath his eyes glazed over as all life left him.
Scared she went up the stairs and on each level she went she found the bodies of all the Weasley children. Fred and George looked like they had been put in a blender, their room was covered in blood and gore and their heads had been placed on their beds were the killer carved their mouths into gaping smiles as if mocking them. By now there were three other aurors with her and all of them were green in the face "who on earth would do this" one of them whispered. Next they found Bill, he had been put under the crutiatus curse until he choked on his own vomit and died, it seems that the killer thought it was funny as that was one curse he couldn't break. As the ascended the stairs they found Ginny and Fleur, both looked like they were brutally raped. Both had their genitals ripped out and they were both bleeding from every orifice, next to Fleur was something that looked like a fetus. By now all the aurors had vomited at least once. They found what remains of Charlie on the stairway it looked like an animal of some sort mauled him to death. As they neared the top they heard noises like someone sobbing and then laughing. As they reached the top the found a door with a plaque saying Rons Room, it was covered with blood.
Filled with fear at what she would find Tonks opened the door and what she saw would scar her for the rest of her life. Ron Weasly was crucified to the wall his balls were ripped out and stuffed in his mouth, his entire anatomy looked like it was just torn out of him and left to hang down to the floor. On the bed sat Harry Potter, he had a maniacal look on his face as he rocked about while cradling Hermione in his lap. She was bloody and looked starved; she was naked and had a collar around her neck as if she was a slave. "HAHAH they raped her, they took my Hermione from me HAHAHA" spoke Harry in a crazy voice as he held Hermione's head and stroked her hair." They took her away from me" he screamed and then he started laughing that terrible high pitched cold laugh. A terrified Tonks lifted her wand with a shaking hand and stunned him.
They took him to a holding cell in the ministry were he just sat and stared at the walls. After four days he was dragged to courtroom 10 were he was to be questioned. After a few hours of questioning most of the wizemgot were green in the face and some had even vomited. He explained how he and Hermione fell in love during the horcrux hunt and that after the battle she found out that she was pregnant and that they kept it a secret from everybody. He explained how he had to go for a 2 months trip to America as the ambassador for England and that when he returned home he found the place empty. So he went to Hogwarts to see McGonagall, he explained how he found Dumbledore's diary on her desk and in it explained how he sold Hermione to the Weasleys to be a slave and how he manipulated Harry and the whole wizarding world. Harry then continued in the monotone voice about how he went to the Burrow and found that they all had used his Hermione and that their baby had died because of it and when he found her and she told him to kill her he snapped and went insane. After the truth serum wore of Harry just sat there with a dead look in his eyes and when he was sentenced to Azkaban he said nothing and gave no expression at all but it was when he was being dragged away by the dementors that he laughed that cruel high pitched and cold laugh again and it made everybody who heard it tremble with fear.
END FLASHBACK
She carried on walking thinking about all the hardships the poor boy had in his life and eventually her day ended and she went home to her husband Remus and her twin children Harry and Hermione and cried in his arms like she did every night she had to patrol the forbidden corridor.
