AN: I know I haven't gotten my three reviews but I saw POTC last night and it got me excited and I couldn't sleep so I finished this chapter and decided to share my joy. I recommend that everyone go see Pirates though, but remember to think abstractly to understand it.
It Continues
(Last Time)
Ria was dragged out of the room, down multiple stone passageways, and into a cold, small room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry lay shivering in he cell, out of the small opening in the middle, where the Death Eaters would push food once a day, he saw his sister sitting in a corner of her cell tears dripping from her face. It had been two days since they had been captured and so far they had both been left alone in their cells. He knew it would not last for much longer' if this Voldemort was anything like the one he knew then eventually he would become frustrated about something and take it out on his prisoners. Right as that thought passed through Harry's mind, he heard footsteps coming down the hall. They stopped in front of his and the door opened. The Death Eater grabbed Harry and dragged him before Voldemort.
Dropped to the ground in front of Voldemort, Harry quickly took up a defense stance. "Now boy, you will tell me everything I want to know." "Why would I do that?" "To save both you and your sister lots of pain." "We are not afraid of pain, we are used to it and it would take more than that to break either one of us." "Well we'll see about that. I discovered a spell recently though that I am trying at the moment, you see I cast it on your sister's cell and now she can hear everything that goes on in this room while your in it. Every pain filled scream and every time you beg me to stop. So let's begin."

Remus was feeding Cuil. It seemed that in the two days since the twins had been taken he had done nothing except take care of his baby. He couldn't eat or sleep; nothing could get his mind off his wife. At first Cuil had refused to eat anything, not used to a bottle and formula, but with much patience and assistance from Lily and Molly he had gotten food into his baby. Looking down he noticed Cuil was done so Remus picked him up, burped him, and rocked him to sleep. As he gazed down upon his sleeping child he couldn't stop the tears from making their way down his face as memories of Ria passed through his mind.
Moony was watching his counterpart with sympathy as he cried over his child. He couldn't even begin to comprehend what was going through his mind at the moment. In the time that the dimension travelers had been there, he had gone from jealous to overly protective of his other self and Ria. He felt that they were an extension of him and the life he wanted. And they understood how much they meant to him and he was so happy that he was named godfather of Cuil; it was like they were sharing their son with him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius watched as one of his oldest and dearest friends tried to lose himself in the task of caring for his son to escape his grief. How Sirius wished he could do that as well. Having the twins gone at the moment was worse than it had ever been before. Sure back in their war when the twins had been on missions or when Ria had been captured it had been nerve-wracking, but here they had no idea what to expect from a Voldemort who had never lost his power. He missed Harry so much, his brother had reported that Harry was fine at the moment, but that could change any minute knowing the twins' tendency to piss people off.
Padfoot offered all the support he could to his double. In the time he had known Harry he could see why his other self fell in love with him. Both twins have seen things that no one should at their ages and they did it all without parents or adult support until they were in their teens. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to worry day in and day out about your true love since he had never had one- lovers yes but he had never been in love with some one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James and Lily were worried about their children. After their Arianna and Harry had died they had refused to grow attached to anyone else, but with the twins being there it was too hard to ignore the fact that these were different versions of their children. Harry and Ria had made it a point to get close to them and learn all they could about the family they never had. So now James and Lily were worrying none stop about the twins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione, Ron, and the rest of the dimension travelers had finally come up with a plausible plan. The plan consisted of getting the wards on the prison to drop so that Harry could transform and flame the two out of there. The only problem anyone could see was that it would take at least three months to be able to drop the wards subtly. First though, the group was going to send Edana, Harry's snake, into the prison to find both him and Ria and find out how they were doing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ria sat in her cell still hearing Harry's screams in her mind. About an hour ago she had heard them drag him back to his cell, but she had not heard any movement yet. At time like this she wished more than ever that she still had her sight or at least something to bond to so she could see. The torture session had lasted nearly all day and because of that neither one of them was getting fed today. Ria wondered why Voldemort hadn't even been by to talk to her like he had with Harry every day. After his threats on the first day she felt sure that he would not be leaving her alone, but whatever the reason she was thankful that he was ignoring her for now.
