ABANDONED CHAPTER 12
The past few days had been a pain filled blur for Harry. Since he had been captured he had been in a tiny cell with no light. Deatheaters visited his cell every so often when they could think of a new way to hurt Harry. In between there were dementors posted outside his door. Along with their usual effect on Harry, they had the secondary effect of blocking Harry's power, as the field of fear they emitted was so intense Harry had to completely close off his mind to outside emotions.
He lay there in the dark barely able to lift his head from the floor, much less consider a possible escape plan, when the cell door opened again. The deatheater walked up to Harry and turned him onto his back.
"You're still alive." It was Lucius Malfoy "The dark lord will be so pleased, we weren't sure you'd survive yesterday's session with Lestrange."
Lucius lifted him off the floor and carried him into the hallway. The light from several lit torches blinded Harry as he was carried roughly to a different cell. They arrived in the larger cell that Harry had seen in his vision with Voldemort. Professor Trelawney was gone, only Hagrid and Lupin remained. They gasped audibly as Harry was chained up in Trelawney's place.
"Welcome to death row Harry! You will all be dead by the end of the week. Don't worry though. You're corpses will all be used for a higher purpose. Your deaths will mean our victory." With that, Lucius swept out of the room and slammed the door behind him.
Harry felt himself loosing consciousness as a dementor passed the cell. At least they weren't standing outside now. "Harry?" came Lupin's voice to the left of Harry.
"Professor?"
"What have they done to you? You went to Godric's Hollow didn't you?"
"no" Harry gasped out "Sirius stopped me. Taken from Dumbledore's office."
"Did they take Sirius or Dumbledore?"
"Don't know. They went to Godric's Hollow in my place."
"If they'd got Dumbledore they'd have declared victory by now. Musta been a trap. They knew they'd go in ya place to capture a deatheater." Said Hagrid.
"What have they done to you Harry?" said Lupin, squinting through the darkness to assess Harry's injuries.
"used curses, potions, weapons, everything."
"Are you badly hurt?"
"can hardly move. Everything hurts."
"Damn!"
"What will they do with our bodies?"
"I don't know. All I can think is that we all have special abilities. Maybe Voldemort will try and extract them from us or something. I mean, if he could take Hagrid's strength, the long life and extra powerful senses of the wolf part of me and the empathy from you, he would be almost unbeatable." Lupin said grimly. "Everyone thinks you have extra powers you haven't yet discovered Harry so who knows what else he'll get too"
"What happened to Trelawney?"
"She's been taken somewhere, I guess they were making room for you in here."
"Malfoy thought I was dead already"
"Then I suppose you have just extended our lives by a few days"
Harry tried to shift himself slightly to take the pressure off his back, which was cut and bruised, the slight shift sent waves of agony along his broken bones. He cried out involuntarily.
"Harry?!" said Lupin and Hagrid worriedly
"I'm ok."
"No ya not." Said Hagrid
"It's ok to admit weakness Harry." Said Lupin "I mean, I feel terrible, what with the Cruciatus curse, the multiple bruises and the beginnings of starvation. And they have been easy on us when compared to you."
"I can't take much more. It even hurts to breathe. Why is he doing this to me? That stupid prophecy probably isn't even true! I just want to feel safe. Like other kids my age! Where my worst worry is that I might not get what I want for Christmas. I want it to stop!"
Silence followed Harry's speech. Neither Remus nor Hagrid really knew what to say.
It wasn't long before Harry fell into a fitful sleep.
The next few days were spent in much the same way. Harry sleeping or laying in a daze while the others tried to bring some comfort, or telling stories to keep them all from going insane.
Hardly anybody came into their cell, except the house elves that were to give them small amounts of food. Harry couldn't help but notice they looked more beaten down than Dobby had and that their eyes always filled with tears when they saw how weak the 'saviour' of the wizarding world was.
The next time they saw Malfoy, several others accompanied him. Harry immediately recognised one of them as Wormtail. Lupin started yelling at him
"You (insert swear words here)! How could you do this to James's son? WE were friends, we protected you from the Slytherin scum like-" Wormtail gagged Lupin and the deatheaters dragged the prisoners to a chamber that looked like a shrine to Voldemort. The dark mark was carved into every wall.
The three were locked in a large cage. There were no chains. Lupin pulled off the gag and ran over to Harry to get a proper look at his injuries. He and Hagrid knelt next to him.
"I have never seen injuries like these on a live person before."
Harry saw the two of them look at each other, and then more closely at Harry, apparently trying to decide a way to ease his suffering slightly. They began to look defeated and sat back on their heels.
Lupin lifted Harry off the ground slightly and pulled him into a gentle hug. Harry tried (ignoring his broken left arm) to hug back. He felt Lupin's body shake as he silently cried, seemingly hoping Harry wouldn't be able to tell. Harry saw Hagrid sitting behind Lupin, a mournful expression of his face.
A sharp pain shot through Harry's scar.
"Voldemort" he whispered
"he's comin'?" said Hagrid, startled
"Yeah"
A/N Bit of an angsty chapter- Sorry it's so short!
