And I am going to WARN you now Voldemort is a bit outta character in this fsnifc, okay? I just wanted to make it a bit funny! Hehehe well ENJOY! Please R/R again! Thanks! OH YES AND REMEMBER VOLDEMORT IS A BIT OUTTA CHARACTER!

It was only 2 weeks into term and Ron, Harry, and even Hermione all felt like they needed a break. The teachers were drilling them way too hard to prepare them for NEWTs and those came towards the end of term. One morning Ron and Harry got told off for playing Wizards' Chess in the back Professor Snape's class.

"I want 12 inches, both of you, on the ways Gillyweed Concoctions are useful!" he roared at them.

"Yes, Professor," Harry and Ron replied glumly, as they continued mixing their hair shrinking potion. Finally the lesson ended and it was almost time for lunch.

"Hey, Harry?" Ron asked after finishing his last bit of Yorkshire pudding. "Do you think we could go out for a half-hour or so and practice some quidditch moves, like before class starts?"

"Sure," Harry replied. "Could you go get my broom and yours since you're already done eating and meet me in the Quidditch Pitch, while I finish my pudding?"

"Ok, I'll see you later then," Ron said to Harry and Hermione as he left. Hermione was already done with her food and waiting for Harry to finish.

"Does he really like me?" Hermione muttered to herself.

"Yes, I think he does," Harry replied absently still gulping down his pudding.

"Oh! Harry I didn't realize you heard me," Hermione said blushing a bit. Harry smiled.

"Well I think we better get down to the Quidditch Pitch to meet Ron," he said. Hermione nodded in agreement and they both took off for the Quidditch Field. When they got there Ron was nowhere in sight, so they sat down in the bleachers and waited for him. Thirty minutes had passed and Ron still hadn't showed up.

"Maybe I should go see what's keeping him," Harry suggested after a while.

"Yes, I'll come too," Hermione, said. So they set off back to the castle. When they got to the portrait of the Fat Lady Harry said the password and climbed through the portrait hole. Harry looked around the common room, but couldn't find Ron.

"Well, 'Mione should we try our dorm?" Harry asked.

"Harry! Don't call me that, but yes let's go up to the dorms," she said.

"You let Ron call you that," Harry teased.

"Well I fancy Ron and I don't fancy you," Hermione said smiling sheepishly. Harry grinned at this as he opened the door to his dormitory to find it completely empty except for a madly squawking Pigwidgeon and a panicked-looking Hedwig.

"Where do you think he could be?" Harry asked picking up his Firebolt that was lying on the floor.

"Harry!" Hermione gasped, clutching a piece of parchment very tightly with a look of absolute horror in her eyes.

"What?" Harry replied, alarmed and then his eyes shifted to the parchment. "What's that?" he asked taking the parchment and reading it aloud. "Harry Potter, Don't worry about your little friend we are taking good care of him in a dark under patch of the Forbidden Forest. Portkeys can really come in handy, ya know! Well ta ta for now, You-Know-Who (literally!) and Compliments by Wormtail" Harry looked up his eyes widened. "B-But why would he want… Ron?"

"It's not why!" Hermione cried hysterically. "It's how are we going to rescue him!"

"Well, Hermione I think it's the first time you're going to have to skip class… well except for the time in our 3rd year-"

"Stop talking, Harry!" Hermione interrupted. "Let's go! Get your invisibility cloak!" Harry stuffed his hand into his trunk felt around for his cloak and pulled it out with a yank. He ran after Hermione down the staircase leading to the common room and out the portrait hole where they pulled the invisibility cloak over themselves and walked as fast as they could trying to keep themselves fully covered at the same time too.

Ron opened his eyes warily and felt around his surroundings. The ground was damp and wet like mud. His whole body was sore and aching. He felt like he'd just been in a dreadful battle and had lost badly.

"Where am I?" Ron mumbled to himself as he shook his head and looked around into the pitch-black darkness. He tried to focus his memory at where he was last. 'Oh! Now, I remember I was up in my dorm getting Harry's broomstick and mine. We were going to…practice quidditch! Yeah that's it but, how-'

"So, you have awoken, Mr. Weasley," said a high cold voice behind him interrupting his thoughts. Ron turned around very quickly to be face to face with none other than Lord Voldemort. Ron's mouth fell open in sheer terror. Every bone in his body turned numb. He could feel hairs rising on the back of his neck as he looked into those sinful merciless red eyes.

"Y-You-Know-Who," Ron croaked clapping his hand over his mouth and looking as though he were about to faint as all the color drained from his face.

"Yes indeedy," Lord Voldemort replied as his face split into an evil grin. "So, this is he sort of reaction I get from being polite, well then." Ron gulped. "So should I kill you now? Or wait until our dear Mr. Potter arrives so the party can really begin," Voldemort continued ignoring Ron's squeals.

"You mean, you captured me to lure Harry here, then?" Ron spoke up sounding braver than he really felt, but he was determined to keep Voldemort distracted from his thoughts of killing anyone.

"Very good, Weasley! I'm impressed you must be the highest wizard in your class," Lord Voldemort said in mock tone of astonishment. "You really didn't think I'd want an insignificant boy like you, did you?" he snarled. Before he could stop himself, Ron glared at Voldemort and looked back down.

"Well let's have a little fun to get Potter here faster because I am getting tired of waiting," Voldemort said coolly taking out his wand and pointing it straight at Ron. "Crucio!"

Ron shrieked in pain as his legs twitched uncontrollably and he fell on all fours.

* * *

"Ouch!" Harry yelled clapping is hand on is forhead. His scar prickled painfully. "We have to move faster. Ron's still alive, but I think Voldemort is hurting him." Hermione looked at Harry fearfully, the thought of Ron being tortured by Voldemort was more than she could bear. "Come on!" Harry urged.

"Wait!" Hermione said. They were at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. "Do you know where exactly he is?" Harry stopped walking.

"Well… no," he replied.

"Ok, then let me do this spell I know to tell if any human is in a certain area and where they are," she said as she moved her wand in a complicated way and murmured something under her breath. After Hermione did the spell a green lumpy rectangular shape (representing the Forbidden Forest) appeared in front of them with a group of moving red dots in the up-right hand corner.

"Brilliant!" Harry praised.

"Thanks, let's head this way," Hermione answered back pointing her wand in the direction of the red dots and they trudged on.

A/N Whoops cliff-hanger! I hope they save him in time! Wait a minute it's my fanfic I can decide if they save him in time or not! Hehehe this is fun fun fun! (like they'd say in the Beach Boys, that's for you Natalie Potter!)
