Rose awoke in a cold, dark, damp room. "Where am I?" she murmured.
"You're in Umbridge Castle." Her head snapped up to see Greyback standing there grinning at her in a way that made her shudder.
"This is Umbridge's house?" she asked.
"Umbridge's dungeon." he corrected her stepping closer. She stood up and backed up.
"Stay away from me." she said shakily, reaching for her wand only to find it wasn't there. Rose thought he was going to eat her but instead he smashed his cold, disgusting lips to hers. She kicked him and he backed up bent over. She took this opportunity to run, not knowing where she was going but just wanting to get away from him.
She sprinted down a long hallway and skidded to a stop right in front of Greyback who picked her up and threw her down on a table kissing her again. She struggled against him but he was too heavy to kick off. He started to pull off her robe and she screamed, punching him in the face which only seemed to hurt a little.
"Get the hell away from me!" She yelled trying to get up only to find she'd been chained to the table.
"Aw trying to save ourselves for little Scorpius are we?" Fenrir snickered. Rose was now shaking with fear, she felt the most helpless she had in her whole life.
Fenrir slashed his long claw like fingernails across her cheek and growled before leaving the room. Rose began to sob.
"Scorpius." she cried as if he could hear her but there was just more nothing.
Back at the castle it was dinnertime. "Where's Rose?" Scorpius asked sitting down in between Albus and Fred.
"Uh...she's not feeling well. She's up in her room." Lily said.
"No she's not. I was just there, looking for her." he said looking at all of them confused.
"Meet me in the second floor girl's bathroom at midnight." Albus whispered.
"Why?" Scorpius asked, more confused than ever.
"It's the only place they can't follow us."
The rest of dinner was silent, and at exactly midnight, Scorpius and Albus met up in the second floor girl's bathroom.
"What are we doing in here?" Scorpius asked. Albus shushed him and then cast a silencing charm on the room.
"Where I'm about to take you is an absolute secret. The entrance was sealed up years ago but when my father came to visit he reopened it so that only the person who knows the spell can open it back up." he said walking over to a sink with an engraving a snake on it. Albus held his wand up to it and the wand created a weird whispering sound causing the sink to shift into what looked like a passageway.
"What the hell is this Albus?" Scorpius hissed.
"Just follow me, do exactly what I do...and if you see a giant snake, don't worry...it's dead." and with that Albus started down the passageway with Scorpius right on his heals.
When they were finally sitting in the chamber, the half decayed Basilisk that usually distracted Albus seemed like nothing now, although it spooked Scorpius plenty.
"Why'd we have to come all the way down here?" Scorpius asked.
"My dad told me if I ever needed a place when I was being watched to come here." Albus said.
"Wait...watched? Who are you being watched by? And where is Rose?" Albus sat down and Scorpius followed suit.
"I don't know exactly who is watching me. But you know how Rose, Lily, Fred, and I got detention earlier?" he asked. Scorpius nodded.
"Well Umbridge took us out into some forest and this wolf man, Greyback showed up and he took Rose and Umbridge is doing all this because she wants revenge on the Weasleys and the Potters for what happened with our parents all those years ago!" he blurted out then paused to look at Scorpius's face.
Much to his surprise, he laughed.
"Very funny, Al," he said. "Where is she, seriously?"
Albus looked at him with the gravest face he could possibly make.
"Wait... you're serious?"
Albus nodded.
"**... what're we gonna do?"

Rose was hungry. She had inherited her father's love for food, of which she hadn't had any since the day before... or was it the same day? The little cell they had put her in didn't have any windows so she had no way to tell the time of day. She was cold too, and she ached for the warmth Scorpius brought her. "Their year" had turned into a disaster. She wondered what he was doing now, what he was doing, what he was thinking. She imagined him riding on a great white stallion, carrying a sword in his hand and galloping across a huge green field to save her, just like all the hero's in the muggle fairy tales her mother had always told her about.
Suddenly, the door opened. Two masked figures came in and grabbed either side of her arm. They led her down a dark hallway as she squirmed and tried to break free of their grasp.
"Where the bloody hell are you taking me?" she asked, even though she knew they wouldn't answer.
They reached a large wooden door, which they pushed open to reveal a large bedroom. It was complete with a king-size four posted bed with silky pink bedding and flower-shaped pillows. The walls were pink and the carpet was also pink. There was a huge wooden armoire in the corner, and a small wooden desk with ink and parchment sat on the other side of the room. They pushed Rose inside and she fell onto the floor. For a moment she just lay there, feeling helpless. The amount of pink in the room was making her sick. If she had her wand with her she would quickly switch everything to green, her favorite color. She huffed, getting up and lay down on the bed. Well, at least she had something comfortable to sleep on. But she couldn't help but wonder why they had given her such a luxury all of a sudden.
"Father, I need to talk to you." Scorpius said approaching his father after class the next day. Draco looked at his son, he was a mess. His eyes were red from lack of sleep, bloodshot, his hair was matted and messy, and his robes looked like they'd been slept in.
"About?" Scorpius sighed.
"Oh like you don't know!" Draco looked at his son confused.
"Know what?"
"That Umbridge and Greyback kidnapped Rose and they're holding her hostage somewhere!" Draco's eyes widened.
"They what?" Scorpius repeated himself.
"Son, I had no idea." Draco said. "What am I going to do?" Scorpius whispered, turning away from his dad. Draco walked over to his son and put an arm around him.
"We'll get an auror on it right away..." but Scorpius cut him off.
"No! I have to go after her myself!"
Draco looked at him amused.
"You really love her don't you?" Scorpius blushed.
"Yeah. I mean...she's everything to me dad. Didn't you ever feel that way about mum?" Draco looked pained.
"Don't mention your mother to me." Draco and Astoria had gotten a divorce when Scorpius was a third year.
"Did you ever feel that way about her?" Draco shook his head.
"Exactly. Rose and I are supposed to be together." Draco sighed and clamped a hand on Scorpius's shoulder.
"Go after her."
