A/N: Hey! Hope you're happy with the story. I didn't get any reviews yet! I
will kill someone if I don't get any by the time I finish this chapter. I
promise. Now, as soon as you finish this chapter you better review.
"Ugh! What are you two doing?" I had walked down the stairs to see my brother and Hermione snogging like crazy. It was disgusting. "Don't you two know that the common room is not used for snogging? That's what the Astronomy Tower is for." "Sorry Gin," Ron said with swollen lips, "it won't happen again." "It's okay. Since when are you two a couple?" "Since, what? 20 minutes ago?" Hermione asked Ron, who nodded. "I don't even know if we are together. Are we?" "I think so," Ron said uncertainly, "do you want to be?" "Yeah." "Well, I certainly think snogging each other's faces off constitutes as being together." "Thanks for the input Gin." Ron said sarcastically. "I wonder where Harry is," I said, changing the subject. "I have no idea, haven't seen him since he went out to the lake. Probably off snogging Kerry senseless." "And you were telling me not to say things like that! What a hypocrite." "Circumstances have changed." Ron said, leaning into kiss Hermione again. "If you two are going to start up again I'm leaving." "See you later Gin." Hermione said distractedly. *~* I was terrified. I had no idea what Jonnie wanted me to do. He was always very creative in the art of mental torture. I was determined to keep my mouth shut. He loved it when I fought back, but if I didn't react at all he would get frustrated and give up. At least, that's what I hoped. You never could tell with Jonnie. "It's good to see you again Kerry. You are even more breathtaking than I remember." Silence. "I do hope that you will cooperate with me. I would hate to have to use curses on you." Silence. "I will use magic on you and it won't be pleasant for you or me," he said, sounding frustrated. I hoped he wasn't serious. If he was, this wasn't working the way it was supposed to. I was just supposed to get thrown back into the basement with Harry. "I'm warning you," he said while getting his wand out. Silence. "CRUCIO" A pain worse than I had ever imagined shot through my veins. It felt like fire running through my body. I felt myself start to black out, fall to the floor. I felt a scream coming to my lips, but choked it back. I was determined to be silent. "Finite Incantatem." A gasp of relief surfaced to my mouth, but that was the only sound. I was so sore; I ached still from the pain of the curse. "You held up surprisingly well. The curse will kill many people. You went through it without a sound. Very good, now that you know what I am capable of, I trust that you will cooperate." Silence. "Talk to me. I want you to tell me that you love me. That I am not wrong about what you feel for me." Silence. "Damn you! Talk to me! You cannot be silent forever. You will have to talk to me sooner or later. You'll talk to me or you'll scream in pain." Silence. "I will do that curse again. No, I have a better idea. Imperio." I felt all thoughts leave my brain. I was in a blissful emptiness with no need for thoughts of my own. "Talk to me." I heard a voice in my head say. I opened my mouth to do as it said, but then thought 'Why.' I didn't want to talk to him. I wouldn't talk to him. I broke through his curse with little difficulty. Obviously, he wasn't that powerful. If he was, I wouldn't have been able to resist his curse so easily. I wonder why Voldemort sent such a weak wizard out to get his most powerful enemy. "Why are you silent? You cannot get away from me. You will stay here until you talk to me. If you don't I will kill the boy." I almost cried out at that, but instead I just gasped. He saw that noise as progress. "I will kill him slowly and painfully. You will have the privilege of watching." I was able to contain my emotions that time, but how long until he hit a nerve? If he said the right thing, I would surely say something. "I won't just use the killing curse, no that is too humane for that boy. He has disabled my master and I will let him know that he is being punished before I kill him. I am sure that you would like to die with him, but you will not have that luxury. You must stay with me. You will become a loyal servant of my lord. You will be mine to take care of. I will be your master." That disgusted me. I again gasped, almost crying out. Luckily I choked back my scream. This wasn't working the way I had hoped it would. I just wanted to get back with Harry because there was strength in numbers. I didn't think that threats to Harry would affect me so much. I was mad at Harry wasn't I? Maybe I did have feelings for Harry like Malfoy had been suggesting all along. No, I couldn't. "Did you like that? Would you enjoy spending the rest of your life as my slave? You wouldn't have to worry about all those other guys; I would be the only one." I couldn't help myself. I definitely wasn't cut out for giving the silent treatment. "That's disgusting. I would never be your slave," I said. "Now you decide to talk? You didn't say what I wanted though. I guess I'll have to kill the boy now." "No! I mean, um, don't kill him, uh, because." "Because what? Does my slave have feelings for the enemy? You should learn when to speak and when to stay quiet. You seem to have the two mixed up. I think I will let you watch me kill him, you will enjoy it." "I, uh, I want to spend more time with you, master," I said, hoping he would buy my deception. "That's what I want to hear. What would you like to do with me, my slave?" "I want to, uh," I had no idea what to say, what did I want to do with him? "I want to kiss you." The thought disgusted me, but it would buy me some time. "Really now? You know, that doesn't sound like something you would want to do, especially after you said I was disgusting. You wouldn't be trying to trick me now, would you?" "No, of course not master." "I think we will take a trip down to the basement, then you can spend as much time with me as you would like, after we finish our business down there. Come my love." "Why are we going down to the basement? I don't want to see that awful boy." "I apologize for the torture of it, but it is necessary. Never mind why." "Yes master," I said softly and sarcastically, but he didn't hear me. *~* I was sitting in the dark. I had no idea how much time had gone by. I was just waiting for Kerry to come back or that man to come and do something. I didn't think that he would kill me because Lord Voldemort always wanted to do that himself. Not that he ever succeeded, of course. I always managed to get away, back to Hogwarts. I had never thought about that. I now know how lucky I really am, it's really quite amazing. I heard noises upstairs, maybe they were moving around. Maybe they would come down here. Maybe he would bring Kerry back down here. I think I would like that. It would make me feel better, just not being alone. I didn't want to face some of the reasons I really wanted Kerry back down here. She didn't want to talk to me anyway. Why should I want to talk to her? It wasn't like I 'liked' her anymore, did I? No, of course I didn't. *~* "Ouch, you're hurting me. Stop that," she was shrieking. It wasn't my fault she wouldn't come with me. She was trying to trick me and I didn't like it. I didn't want to hurt her, but I would if I had to. I thought I had proven that earlier. She obviously hadn't learned her lesson. I had tried to get her come with me, but she wouldn't. I had to grab her arm and drag her. She was fighting me so I grabbed her hair too. That was when she started shrieking. If she didn't stop shouting soon, the boy would hear. "You have to be quiet. Now!" "Let go of me! Ouch! Stop it." "Shut up!" "I will if you let go of my hair. It hurts!" I let go of her hair. Her shrieking was reduced to whimpers. Hopefully the boy didn't care about what he heard. *~* I heard Kerry shrieking upstairs. I felt a burning in my chest; I had to do something to help her. Even if I didn't have feelings for her she was my friend. He was hurting her and I had to stop it. If there were only something I could do. She stopped screaming. That was either really good or really bad. I heard a clicking sound and then metal scraping on metal. Maybe he was unlocking the door. I was right, light spilled into the room from the top of the stairs. I saw Kerry half lying on the floor, half sitting up. She was able to manage that position due to the fact that he was holding her up by her wrist. "Get up or I'll throw you down the stairs." She got up and walked down the stairs, holding her wrist. She saw me and ran towards me, stumbling into my arms. She burst out crying. I didn't know what to do, so I just ran my hand down her hair, over and over again. That seemed to comfort her a little. I heard his footsteps coming down the stairs apparently she did to. She started to shake and pulled closer to me. If I hadn't been in danger, I might have enjoyed this. "What do we have here? Is my little slave fraternizing with the enemy? Come here my love." She just stood there shaking. He made a move towards us and I thought he would hit me. Instead, he just ran his hand up her spine. She shivered. I turned so that I was between him and her while she continued her death grip on me. "Oh, are you going to play hero? You should have realized by now that you cannot compete with Lord Voldemort. When he wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it. When one of his most trusted servants wants something, he will give it to them, as you can see." "I see that you are pretending to have Kerry and that you have me in a basement. I don't think you have anything for sure yet. From what I see, you won't be having Kerry for a long time if you scare her like this." "You are nothing but a smart ass boy. I can run circles around you and let me assure you, you are on the losing side of this battle and all battles in the past. You have been reduced to this. You got locked in a basement. I would think that the boy who lived would have better sense than to play with a witch he didn't know." I tried to pry myself away from Kerry, but she wouldn't let me. I whispered into her ear, "You have to let go, it'll be all right, just let me go. That's it, come on." She loosened her grip so that I could slip out. I gently pushed her behind me. "If you want to insult me, at least give me my wand so that I can defend myself and Kerry." "Fine, I will give you your wand, but if you try to get away or harm me I will use the cruciatus curse on Kerry in front of you. I already did it once, I'll do it again and maybe she'll scream this time," he said throwing me my wand. I was surprised that he gave it to me. I thought about stunning him, but knew that he would get me before I could do anything and I didn't want him to cause that much pain to Kerry. I had experienced that curse and wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even this man. *~* "It's getting really late. Harry and Kerry haven't come back yet. I'm starting to worry," Hermione said to me. I was starting to worry too, but I didn't want to leave. I didn't want to do anything except stay here with Hermione. "Yeah, I wonder where they went. They must be having a really good time, just like we were, before you started worrying," I said, nibbling on her ear a little. She turned her head so that I couldn't. "I'm really worried, I mean, it's Harry. We can't forget that Voldemort is still out there." "You're right. We should really do something maybe go looking. I think we should try the Astronomy Tower." "I'm serious Ron. I think something might have happened. I think we should go out to the lake and look. If we don't see anything there, we should go see Dumbledore." "Ok, we can go looking. C'mon." We walked out to the lake using Harry's invisibility cloak because it was starting to get late. We circled the lake, looking for any sign of them, seeing nothing, we went to Dumbledore's office. We got to the gargoyle statue and told it we needed to talk to the professor right away. The statue moved aside after a moment and we walked in to the spiral staircase. We went up and walked into the office. "Ah, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger. To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" "We have no idea where Harry and Kerry went. They were outside around nine o' clock this morning, and never came in. We went outside to look around the lake even though we weren't supposed to. We found nothing so we came here. We don't think that they are in the Astronomy Tower because they were fighting. We didn't know what to do so we came here." "Thank you Miss Granger. I am glad that you came to me, seeing that it is Harry who is missing. I wonder why Miss James is missing also, though. I do believe that Voldemort is involved, possibly from an American command post. I believe that someone connected to Miss James is involved, probably an ex- boyfriend or someone of that sort. The only problem is that we have no idea where to look. I will contact Order members located in Hogsmeade." "Order members?" I asked. "Members of the Order of the Phoenix," he didn't explain further. "But what can we do?" Hermione asked exasperatedly. "I am sorry to say that we must wait until we have a more solid lead." I thought that would drive her crazy. In fact, it drove me crazy too. I didn't want to just sit around and wait to see what was going to happen to my friends, but it looked like I had no choice. *~* "Remember, don't try anything or I will hurt her," he said. I didn't want to have him do the curse on me again, I was sure I would scream this time. I was kind of embarrassed at how I was clinging to Harry, but I didn't want him to do anything to me. This was how he made me act. He made me a paranoid mess. I had to have something to hold on to. Harry was as good as anything, he was warm and strong and I knew the hero instinct in him would protect me from Jonnie. I just wanted him to leave, if he was gone, everything would be ok and we could escape. Harry had his wand back and he could get us out of here. He could be my Hero Harry.
