The moon hung in the sky as the two Aurors studied the picture of the three missing students. They had scanned the area around Hogwarts ground, but found nothing. The only clue anyone even left Hogwarts, was the unlocked gate to the grounds. Vivienne strolled up to the castle, Kingsley still scouting the area. She walked up the cool stone steps to the old man waiting at the top with his hands crossed behind his back.
"Hello." Vivienne said, nodding. The man nodded back, "Have you found anything?" he said in a harassed voice. Vivienne shook her head. The man sighed sadly. "Don't worry at all, Dumbledore. We will find them" She said strongly. Dumbledore's answering smile was sad. "I know." he said. Vivienne turned her back and walked down the front steps, searching the darkness with her eyes. I hope we find them, she thought silently.
When Draco woke up, he was surprised to be where he was. The air around him was musty, and dry. Looking around, he seemed to be in some kind of prison cell. His head throbbed madly as he tried to sit up. Giving up, he looked over at the girl next to him. It was Samantha, asleep on the cold stone floor. He reached over and shook her shoulder, but she just grumbled at him. He attempted to sit up again, and leaned heavily on the wall. Looking over he saw Breanna in the cell across from theirs, her face pressed up against the bars, snoring slightly. He relaxed, at least he knew where everyone was. He finally stood up and stumbled over to the iron gate. He looked up and down the empty hall. Sighing, he slumped back down on the around next to Sam and waited for them to wake up. Giving up on waiting, he shook her shoulder again, she rolled over and woke up.
"Whaghh?" she muttered, incomprehensibly. Looking over, she spotted Draco sitting next to her, and smiled. "About freakin' time your awake!" she said, hugging him. He hugged back, happy to have some company.
"Your friend over there is still asleep." he said, pointing.
Sam laughed, "I can wake her up." she said, moving over and picking up a ping-pong ball sized rock. She chucked it through their bars, and it smashed onto one of Breanna's, making a loud clang. She jerked up in her sleep , "What?" she roared. They laughed at her, "How's it going in there?" Sam asked sarcastically. Breanna looked up, "Your awake!" she cheered.
"Yeah, and your a dinosaur." Draco said, trying not to laugh. Breanna looked up at the ceiling through the bars, "Huh? And her I am, thinking I was." she said in mock wonder. Sam laughed, "Idiots." she muttered. They both went silent and looked at her. She smiled at them innocently. In the small moment of silence, they could hear quiet laughter coming from the right. They all got up and stuck their heads out and looked. Nobody. They remained silent. Then a figure appeared in front of them. Draco backed away from the bars, pulling with him, Samantha.
Breanna, though, seemed to recognize the figure. And was not happy to see them.
"You?" she yelled. "What are you doing back here?!" The anger in her voice making it rise. She looked stormy. Draco intervened, "Who are you and what the heck do you want?" he asked angrily. The boy, he now noticed, looked over at him.
"Its the stupid idiot, Brad, who fixed my broken arm!" Breanna shouted. Brad looked back over at her, "Well, then." he said, "Want me to re-break it?" he threatened. It was Samantha's turn to shout, "Hey! Back off, before I kick – !" she snarled.
Brad cut her off with a deep growl, "Your friend?" he asked, pointing at Breanna. Sam just glared at him. He smiled, "Well, I came here to feed you, but if you don't want it." He smirked. Nobody answered. Brad shrugged, "Fine, have it your way." he walked off.
Draco sat down, and shook his head. "Jerk." he muttered. Breanna and Samantha nodded.
When Breanna saw the tall figure of Brad walking towards them, she felt angry. No idea why, just completely angry. She had yelled at him, asking why he came. Draco and Samantha had intervened, and shouted him down too. She felt pride in making him angry. But, she didn't know why? He fixed her arm, but that just made her even madder. There she was, caged up in this hellhole, and he was walking freely on the outside. But he goes ahead and tries to be nice? What is he playing at? She sat there, mumbling to herself, while Sam looked at her from between the bars as if she was going crazy. Draco sat with his head against the wall, because it was still sore from hitting it badly.
Days passed., as the trio of Hogwarts students remained lost to everyone. Students and teachers always thought about the missing kids with grief and sorrow, expecting the worst. But, as Sam, Draco and Breanna sat there, they never once thought about the people back at their beloved school. Never being able to tell when another new day started, and the old one ended. The musty air gave them a annoying cough that came at the most unexpected times. Then, on the fourth afternoon since they all woke up, a unexpected and unwanted visitor appeared.
"Time you come with me." Brad said, unlocking Breanna's cell. He went inside and put large manacles around her small wrists and dragged her to her feet. Samantha and Draco got up.
"And where exactly is she going?" Sam said aggressive. Brad shook his head, "For her to know, and you to not." he grunted. Sam snapped.
"WELL! What about us!" she said, shaking the bars madly. "We have been stuck down in this god forsaken place for who the hell knows how long, and you IGNORE US! Do you know what its like? Of course not! So I demand you open this stupid metal door, right now!" she rambled on. "I'm getting cabin fever, man! I can't take it anymore, LET ME OUT!" she screamed, shaking the iron bars. Breanna was already being marched away by Brad, who ignored Sam's cries. She yelled at him some more, mainly a stream of profanities, as they walked away. Breanna cast a look back over her shoulder, at a surprised Draco trying to pull Samantha off of the bars, as she resisted, staring Brad down.
When they were far enough away that Samantha's cries could not be heard anymore, they arrived in a lower class area of prison cells. They were becoming rusted, and in some spots, broken through. When Brad finally stopped them, he pointed out a lump on the floor of one of the more, well kept pens. Breanna peered in, it was her mom.
"Mom!" she shouted. The figure didn't even move. Brad smiled cruelly, "We have one more stop. Time to meet our pack leader. Though, I think you already know him." He shoved her through a door she hadn't noticed, and she smacked on the ground awkwardly, unable to use her hands. When she looked up, she was at the feet of Fenrir Greyback.
