Two weeks later, and Harry and Ron still found themselves in the cell in the dungeons of the Riddle House. Harry's bruises had almost gone. There was one that was taking longer to heal, and this was the black eye that he had received a fortnight ago.
There wasn't much to do locked up in a cell, so Harry and Ron were already getting quite bored. the only entertainment they had was talking to each other, and occasionally, when Harry felt like it, he'd use his Metamorphagus abilities to change into other people, for Ron's entertainment. Some of the people that Harry changed into for the fun of it were Rodolphus Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov, and Lucius Malfoy. When he changed into the Death Eaters, Harry would do caricatures of them, and this would make Ron double up in laughter.
If any of the Death Eaters had ever heard this, they would have become suspicious about what was going, on, and gone down to check up on what was happening. Luckily they didn't, however, and Harry and Ron remained safe. Sometimes, however, Harry wished one of the Death Eaters would come down to see what was happening. His and Ron's food supply was nearly out (their last food supply had been brought two weeks ago, along with the potion to heal Ron's bones).
They had been using it sparingly, but nevertheless, they needed more.
"Dad, let's just call them down here," said Ron.
"No, we can't."
"Why not?" said Ron as his stomach gave a particularly loud growl. "I think my stomach speaks for me when I say that I'm hungry." Ron eyed the dwindling supply of food, which now only contained a small loaf of bread, some crackers, and a small jug, half full of water.
"I know, I'm hungry too, but if we call them down, then..."
Ron sat up and looked at his dad who was leaning against the bars.
"Then...what?"
Harry closed his eyes, and then opened them again. "Last time when I asked for food, when you were unconcious, Dolohov punched me. It's how I go this black eye," Harry indicated his eye, which still had a nasty bruise under it.
Ron looked closer. "The Dolohov guy sure packs a mean punch. Too bad you had to learn that the hard way...."
Harry snorted. "Yeah, too bad..."
"At least he didn't break your glasses."
"True," said Harry. He grinned.
"And at least my glasses didn't get broken in the little scuffle that-"
"Resulted in you getting your ribs broken?" Harry supplied. "Yes, that's very fortunate."
Ron swung his legs up onto the stone bed and lay down, and put his hands behind his head. He sighed.
"Dad, can't I have a little bit of bread?"
"No, Ron. At least, not now," said Harry. "When evening arrives, then you can have some food."
"But Dad-" whined Ron.
Harry looked at him from over the top of his glasses. "I've already rationed it. We have enough for another week if we eat sparingly."
Ron sat back up, and leaned against the cold stone wall. He stared at the wall opposite, and wished more than ever that he hadn't gotten kidnapped by the Death Eaters. If he had been more careful, he wouldn't be in this mess, and neither would his dad. If he had been more careful, he would probably be hanging out with Kelsey in the Gryffindor Common room, or somewhere next to the lake. If he'd been more careful, he'd be able to talk to his sisters right now, and write to his mum. Ron sighed and closed his eyes.
"What's wrong?" said Harry, looking at Ron with some concern.
"Nothing," said Ron in a voice that clearly said otherwise. Harry noticed this, but said nothing. He knew his son would tell him what was wrong eventually. "Actually, there is something," said Ron suddenly after a short silence. He opened his eyes and sat on the edge of the stone bed. He put his elbows on his knees, and his face in his hands. Harry waited for Ron to say what was wrong. "It's just..." Ron sighed. "I miss everyone back home. I miss Mum, even Jamie and Aphrodite."
Harry sat down next to Ron.
"I know, I miss them to, Ron," he said. "I miss them a lot, but I'm sure we'll see them again."
"When will we see them, though?" Ron asked, looking at his father.
"I don't know." Harry hesitated, and put an arm around Ron's shoulders. "But we'll see them again, I know it."
"We'd better," said Ron, looking miserably at the floor. "I mean, I miss Mum, Jamie, and Aphrodite, but...I miss Kelsey most of all."
"Ron, you'll see your friend again," said Harry in a reassuring voice.
"She's not just my friend, Dad." Ron paused after saying this, thinking. He took a deep breath. The time had come to tell his dad the truth about him and Kelsey. "She's my girlfriend."
Harry stared at Ron, but then he grinned. "Your girlfriend?"
Ron nodded, and he too, smiled. "I suppose I should tell you the whole story?"
"Please do. After all, we have plenty of time."
Ron snorted. "All right then." He drew a deep breath before continuing. "You know the Hogwarts Express?"
Harry nodded. "Having been on there myself, I'd say, yes, I do know it." He grinned.
Ron rolled his eyes. "Well, I almost kissed Kelsey on the train, but then we were interrupted by Corsair Malfoy. I hate him."
"Understandable, go on."
"Well, one time during DADA Professor Lupin was casting the Imperius Curse on us. I had trouble throwing it off, though, so I was a little depressed afterwards. I talked to Lupin about it, but he said that having trouble throwing off the curse was normal." Ron paused for breath, and then went on. He told Harry about how Kelsey had kissed him, and how she had done it to cheer him up.
Ron also told his dad about how he had kissed Kelsey after Herbology, and how, on Halloween, Kelsey had come to his dorm in that scandalous black night dress and layed down in his bed and cuddled up beside him, a few minutes later falling asleep. Harry was forcible reminded of the time when almost the exact same thing happened at Grimmauld place right before his seventh year at Hogwarts. Ron went on to tell his dad about how he and Kelsey had shared the upside-down kiss, and how he had later asked Kelsey to be his girlfriend. He ended the story by telling Harry how he and Kelsey had been kissing quite passionately right before he'd been captured.
"And so...that's about all there is to tell," said Ron.
Harry stared at the wall opposite. He wasn't really surprised by Ron's antics, after all, Harry had always had a feeling that Ron and Kelsey would get together. He just didn't expect it to be so soon. Harry went over in his mind again what his son had told him. It reminded him of himself and Hermione, which brought to mind a somewhat alarming prospect.
"You and Kelsey haven't had sex, have you?"
Ron's jaw dropped open in horror. "No! We most certainly have not! Why would you ask that?"
Harry cleared his throat. "Well...er...you know how when two people love eachother-"
"Dad, I didn't ask for the sex talk."
"Very well," said Harry. "You see, when your mother and I were 17, about to start our seventh year at Hogwarts, we...kinda had...sex the night before school started...at the Leaky Cauldron."
"Yeah, that's what Kelsey's dad said."
"You mean Neville?"
"Yeah," said Ron.
"Well then..." Harry paused. "I just hope you and Kelsey don't do the same thing."
"Dad, we love eachother, but-"
Harry looked suddenly serious. "That's what your mum and I said about each other."
Ron rolled his eyes. "Dad," he said exasperatedly, "Kelsey and I are not going to have sex before we get married. She and I have already made that agreement."
"You have?"
"You don't believe me, do you?"
"No, I believe you," said Harry.
"Good," said Ron. He grinned. "How about we get a start on dinner? If you can call a tiny piece of bread dinner."
Harry chuckled. "Yes, let's."

Back at 12 Grimmauld Place, in the basement kitchen, Dumbledore was planning with Tonks, Kingsley, and Mad-eye Moody on how to rescue Ron and Harry. Hermione and Ginny were in the room also, along with Neville and Lupin. Since it was now the Christmas holidays, Ron's sisters, Jamie and Aphrodite were there, as was his girlfriend, Kelsey. They were all grouped around the table, and were watching Dumbledore plotting a path to take to rescue Harry and Ron, as well as different strategies on how to rescue them, and also how to deal with the Death Eaters. It was already agreed that Dumbledore, Moody, Kingsley, and Tonks would do the rescuing. The rest would stay in the kitchen and welcome Harry and Ron back; the rescue was to happen in two nights.

I know this chapter sucked, but I'm having a case of writers block at the moment. Also, since school is starting soon, I'm only going to be updating about once a week, because I'm going to be busy with homework and the like. Also for some un-needed info, I'm going to be a Senior in highschool.
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!!!
