Chapter 8:

He didn't know how long he was out for but when Draco woke up he slowly lifted open his eyes while trying to move. "Why can't I move, what is going on? Oh shit my hands are tied what the hell happed" He was thinking.

When he opened his eyes all the way all he could see was a little bit of light shining though a door, trying to move side to side to get a better view though the door but having no luck at it " Fuck this hurts" His hands were bound to the wall in metal chains while he was kneeling on the ground. "I must be in the dungeons under my house Fuck I have to get out of this" Draco said allowed to him self. All of a sudden the door flew open and his father and Snape walked though the door.

" Son I am very disappointed in you, I had to inform the Dark Lord of the failure you did here tonight" Said his father

" But we get to do a little beating to you before he gets here and gets his hands on you and this should be fun. I have been looking forward to doing this for a long time " said Snape

" Father if you just give me another chance I am sure I can get them to trust me again. I just have to talk to Ginny, Please father don't do this, don't let him do this" pleaded Draco

" SHUT UP ... Crucio" yelled Snape. With that curse Draco dropped down some, making the chains dig deeper into his wrists, while it yelled out in pain.

" If I should live though this I am going to kill my father and Snape, If I live though this I am never going to get the Dark Mark, if I live though this I am going to go right to Hermione" Draco was thinking trying to ignore the pain of the curse with no luck.

Snape took the curse off him finally after Lucius told him to "don't want to kill him right off just a rather good beating before the Dark Lord comes" He had told Snape.

Lucius walked up to his son, who had his head hanging low and tears coming down his face. He grabbed Draco's face in one hand and pulled on his hair with the other "This will show you that you do the job at hand and never disappoint the Dark Lord again" he than punched Draco in the face with as much force as he could put behind it.

" father" and he punched him again " please stop" and punched him again this time breaking Dracos nose, blood was flying out of Draco's mouth and nose.

Snape was laughing the whole time, finally walking up to Draco and taking the chains off his wrists and lifting him to his feet. He grabbing a hold of his clothes and threw him across the room, hitting the other wall with so much force it made a sickening sound, breaking his arm upon impact.

Snape walked over to him while saying "Having fun yet mister Malfoy" and grabbed Draco by the head of his hair holding him up to his father.

Lucius walked over to Draco and squeezed his face in his hand "Well son what do you have to say for your self now?"

Looking right into his fathers eyes he thought, " Well if he is going to hand me over to the Dark Lord should just tell him everything I'm going to die anyway"

Draco looked at his father and said " I hate you father, I have never loved you, I am never going to get the Dark Mark and I am in love with a mud-blood"

Lucius eyes turned a very scary shade of black and he grabbed a whip and started whipping his son with it, making him scream in so much pain, after several slashes from the whip Draco blacked out. A couple hours later Draco woke up on the floor of the dungeon this time not bound up, thinking why he wasn't.

He soon found out even though he was not chained he could not move, trying to figure out why, he lifted his head up and a splitting pain ran down his neck and though his back. He tried lifting his arms to push him self up and found out one arm was broken and the other wrist was too. One leg felt like it was broken and couple ribs. He saw his shirts was ripped in many places from the slashes his father had given him and could feel his nose was broke and his face was swelling up. He rolled over onto his back wanting/wishing he was dead. Knowing the Dark Lord would be there soon to finish what his father and Snape had started.

He heard foot steps coming towards the door and closed his eyes hoping that who ever it was would think he was still passed out. The door opened and someone walked over to him. He felt a cold damp cloth run across his face and knew right than who it was.

"Mother?" he whispered.

"Oh Draco, I'm so sorry for what your father did to you" she said crying.

"Mother please get,"

"Shhh Draco, save your energy. They will be back soon and I don't know what they are going to do." She kissed him on the forehead

"Mother get Hermione." and he passed out again from the severe pain that was going all though his body.

Draco was standing in the owlery at school looking out a hole in the stone walls, wondering where everyone was. He slowly started walking out and down the stone steps towards the bridge that led back into the school. When he got to the doors he realized so far there was no other students around, trying to figure out why the school was so empty, he walked into the building and right up the stairs to the Gryffindor common room. The fat lady saw him and let him. He thought this was strange because it wasn't even his house. He walked in anyway, though the common room and up to the girls dorm. He went though the door and saw Hermione sleeping on her bed. He walked over to her laying there in her blue pj shorts and grey tank top; he gently brushed some hair off her face and kissed her on the forehead. He whispered in her ear " Hermione I don't know why but I need help, please help me. I love you so much and wish you would forgive me, please help me" Draco then turned around and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione shot right out of her bed at having this dream, sweating profoundly and shaking really bad. She rushed out of her dorm and right into the boy's dorm not caring who saw her go in there.

At Harry's bed she said "Harry I don't know how I know this but Draco really needs our help." she said.

" Hermione what are you talking about?" Harry asked.

" I just had a dream and Draco was badly beaten and needs our help. He asked me to trust him that he loves me." she said.

"You know this is a trick to get us out there, when we do go Voldemort will be there waiting you know that." Harry stated.

She just stood there looking dumbfounded at Harry. " Well I don't care I'm going to try and help him and if you don't want to help me then fine go back to bed and when something horrible happens to me you can blame your self for not coming with me and believing in your friend when I needed it, Draco was your friend to for a while, so what if he was in love with me and doing stuff with me when he was with Ginny, he was so afraid that he would loose you as a friend. He would always talk about how he was glad you two were not fighting anymore, about how you accepted him and was starting to trust him. So if you want to turn you back on him fine, but I cant believe you want to turn your back on me and let me go on my own, and if you do not come with me and I do come back fine I will NEVER speak to you again HARRY JAMES POTTER" and with that she turned around, grabbed the door and slammed it behind her waking up the rest of the boys dorm.

Draco was curled up in a ball on the dungeon floor when he heard the door open again.

"Draco get your ass up off the floor now" Said Snape, as Draco tried to get up but couldn't because of the severe pain that was shooting though out his body, Snape grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up.

"Let go, haven't you done enough" Draco said knowing it wasn't over.

" It is time for you to go see the Dark Lord now Draco. He is very much looking forward to this little meeting between the two of you." Snape said with a smirk on his face.

Draco knowing that this was not going to go well tried to kick at Snape as they were headed up the stairs but no avail. One of his legs were broken and dragging up the stairs and the one he tried to kick Snape with wouldn't move up far enough without making Draco cry out in pain.

Lucius was waiting up at the top of the stairs for his son, grabbing him away from Snape when they made it to the top. " Now you are going to answer yes Lord to everything that the Dark Lord asks you and you are going to do everything he tells you to do" Lucius said

"Yes Father." Draco replied in a very low voice, trying not to sound like he was in pain.

Lucius dragged Draco to the floor and walked though it holding on to his son. They showed up in a very dark place. Draco looked around and saw forest all around them and stone blocks circling them. Lucius dropped his son in the middle of the stone circle and walked away after giving Draco a swift smack to the head.

"Don't forget what I told you." He said while pulling a cloak over his head.

Draco landed on his knees, then landed over on his hands with his head down, not wanting to look up and see who was standing behind him. Just then he felt a gust of wind and realized that the Dark Lord just apprerated in front of him. He slowly lifted his head to look up and make sure he was correct and saw the Dark Lord glaring down at him. "

"Crucio!" said Voldemort, sending the curse at Draco. Draco clenched in pain falling completely on the ground now.

"You have disgraced me by letting Harry Potter and his friends leave your house" Voldermont said "I think you need to get the mark now to remind you of where your loyalties lay" and with that Voldemort took his wand and pressed it against Draco's arm.

Draco felt excruciating pain in his arm where the mark was being burnt into his skin. When Voldemort lifted his wand, Draco looked up at his arm and saw the scull with a snake coming out of its mouth. He dropped back down to the ground saying.

"Please let me die, I would rather die than have this mark on my arm and serve YOU."

When Lucius heard this remark he walked up to his son and slashed him on the back with his whip " You don't ever say that again or I will make that request come true"

"Well father why don't you just do it. It would save you a lot of embarrassment if you did kill me right now. I'm not going to follow HIS orders or YOURS anymore" Lucius raised his wand and started saying "Avada Ked" but was interrupted

" Don't even think about it Lucius" said Voldemort "If anyone kills him it will be me but right now we are going to just let him suffer"

"Take him back to the dungeons he is going to help us even if he doesn't want to, I'm suspecting that his little girlfriend will be coming here shortly and I don't think potter will let her come alone, so we will just throw him down there and wait for them to show up inform me when they get here" with that Volemort left.

Lucius and Snape picked Draco up and drug him back down to the dungeons. Lucius was heading out the door when he noticed Snape still standing there.

" Lets get going Snape, and put up warning spells to let us know when they are here"

" I'm going to stay down here for a little bit. I don't think Draco learnt his lesson from earlier" Snape replied

" fine don't take long" said Lucius

" Well it is pretty bad when your own father doesn't care what happens to you, But I think I'm going to fix up your wounds and get you the hell out of here before Hermione rallies the others to come here for you" Said Snape

"What are you talking about" asked Draco

"You don't know do you, I'm a spy for Dumbledore, what ever I did to you earlier I am sorry, I couldn't let them know that I was working for the other side, Now stay still and I am going to heal what I can. I cant heal the broken bones but the bruises and pain will go away for awhile till I can get you back to the school"

After about 10 minutes of Snape saying spells and fixing what he could fix, he picked Draco up and threw an invisibility cloak over him.

"Stay right close to me. I'm going to tell Lucius I have to go back to the school and make sure you are holding onto me because I will have to apperate out of here or he will think something is going on."

"I understand "replied Draco. They walked upstairs and into the kitchen where Lucius was waiting for Snape.

" I have to get back to the school before Dumbledore suspects something from my long absence." Snape said.

"Right make sure he doesn't know what is going on and get back to me as soon as you can" replied Lucius

Snape felt Draco holding onto his arm and apperated to the headmaster's office at the school. When they got there Draco pulled off the invisibility cloak and dropped to the floor.

"Oh my lets get him to the hospital wing and I will get Mrs. Granger and Mr. Potter up here" Snape carried Draco to the Hospital wing to get examined and Dumbledore Summoned Hermione and Harry to his office.

Hermione was just about to walk out of her common room to go save Draco when Professor McGonagall came up to the portrait and stopped her.

"Mrs. Granger, you are needed in the headmasters office immediately, My Malfoy is in the hospital wing and you will be able to see him after"

"Oh Merlin, he's safe, he is here, I'll be going now, thank you Professor McGonagall" Hermione said, half running down the hall towards the Headmasters room with a big smile on her face.
