Chapter 12Ron stared at the ground; he couldn't believe all of what Hermione had been through, his Hermione! He felt anger surge through his veins as he imagined Krum touching her face.
"I'm so sorry, Ron." Hermione said softly, "I couldn't tell anyone, they would've killed me."
"I know, don't worry. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at them. I can't believe this!"
Hermione looked behind her at the only window they had in the room, but even if they tried to jump out of it they would've been too high up. In addition, there were steel bars fastened into the bricks of the wall.
The only source of light was the light emitted from the full moon.
Ron took off his shoes and stood on the dirty cot, "Maybe-I-can-try-to-pull-this-out." He paused after saying every word while he was struggling to pull out the bars.
Hermione sighed, "Ron, you're not strong enough to pull them out." She pointed out.
Ron felt himself blush, "Thanks a lot, Hermione." He replied sarcastically. He jumped down from the cot.
He could feel Hermione watching him, "What?" he asked turning to look at her.
She shook her head; she had an amused expression on her face, "Nothing."
Suddenly, Ron felt himself step on something soft, "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to step on your foot." He apologized taking a step back.
Hermione looked confused, "What're you talking about? You didn't step on my foot."
"Then what did I…" his voice trailed off as he bent down and blindly felt for the soft, squashy thing. He felt a thick thread and pulled it upwards.
Hermione screamed and scrambled onto the cot.
Ron felt his stomach turn, there dangling from hand was a small, fat, Rasnock. This kind of creature lurked in the dirtiest places, mostly in dungeons. It was a mixture of three creatures, a rat, snake, and cockroach.
The antennas of the Rasnock moved around wildly, since the Rasnocks don't have good vision; they have to feel their way in their surroundings.
Ron dropped the Rasnock and jumped on the cot next to Hermione.
"Ouch, Ron!"
"They can't climb walls, can they?" Ron asked, knowing that Hermione must've read up something about Rasnocks.
"No, Ron. But, as strange as this sounds, when the Rasnocks urinate it glows in the dark and if somehow some of that urine gets into our food or anything we can die."
"They have poisonous pee?" Ron exclaimed surprised.
"Yeah."
Ron looked down at the ground and almost got a heart attack, in almost every space in the room he saw splashes of urine glowing.
"Is there a way of curing a person if they drink t-the pee?" Ron asked.
"Urine, Ron, not pee. You make it sound so vulgar!" she pointed out, "but to answer your question, no."
Suddenly, Ron saw an opening to finally use the line he'd been practicing for ages, "I can make something else sound…vulgar." He said in a supposed to be seductive tone, his voice deepened a few notches.
He heard Hermione gasp, "Ron!" she exclaimed.
"Sorry, I think those Rasnocks have some weird effect on me." He apologized, "So you're absolutely positively sure that they can't climb walls?"
--
The next morning Hermione opened her eyes slowly, Where am I? She thought. She looked at the blankets expecting to see it white and clean, but instead she saw numerous stains and a disgusting smell filled her nostrils.
"Yuck!" She exclaimed jumping off the cot, she started dusting off her dress with her hands, "This-is-so-disgusting!"
She heard someone chuckle and turned her head to see Ron watching her, he standing against the wall, "It's not funny, Ron!"
"I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry!" Hermione pointed out.
"Yeah, well…" Ron said shrugging his shoulders.
Right then Hermione heard the locks being unlocked and then the door opened a bit.
One of the Death Eaters poked their head into the dungeon and said in a mocking tone, "Here's your breakfast." He pushed a medium sized metal tray along the cemented floor.
The tray hit a few uneven layers of the floor, some of the watery stuff in the bowls sloshed over the sides and onto the tray, and bits of liquid flew onto the floor too.
"Enjoy." The Death Eater said slamming the door and fastened all the locks again.
Ron rushed to where the tray was and bent down, "Ugh! What is this stuff?" he asked making an appalled face. He picked up some bread that was already soggy from the liquid that spilled onto it, "We have to eat this? They're mad!"
Hermione had another thing on her mind as she walked over to the hole that they were supposed to use as a toilet and surveyed it.
Ron appeared next to her, "You have to use the loo?" he asked.
"Well, it's obvious isn't it? Why else would I be standing here?" Hermione said, she felt as if her bladder would burst any minute. She squeezed her thighs together in hopes to hold back the urge of going to the bathroom.
"I used it while you were sleeping, it wasn't that bad."
"You're a boy! All you have to do is aim it like a hose! I actually have to bend down and – oh no!" She exclaimed, covering her mouth and moving a great distance away from the hole with Ron following her lead.
They just saw a rat emerge from the hole, and it was happily munching on something Hermione didn't want to know what it was.
"I-I can't do this!" she exclaimed.
"You have to. Okay, look, I'll stand all the way by the door." Ron said squeezing her arm before heading to the door, "Just hurry up, will you? I don't want someone to open the door and it'll just knock me out."
Hermione stared at Ron's back deciding what to do.
"Just do it, Hermione." He said as if reading her mind.
She sighed and then walked back to the hole in the ground. She held her breath as she raised her dress a few inches above the ground; she pulled down her underwear and then placed each of her feet over the hole. She crouched down, her legs started shaking, Calm down…just, do it. She said to herself.
Finally, she felt as if a tap had been opened and all the water was rushing out.
"I hope the rat doesn't bite you in your donkey." Ron said and then he burst out laughing at his own joke. [Donkey also know as arse]
Hermione felt the muscles by her bladder constrict, which didn't allow the rest of the urine to pass, "Ron, I'm going to kill you." She mumbled trying to get herself to relax.
Finally, when she was finished she quickly stood up and pulled up her underwear.
"Can I turn around now?" Ron asked while he was still laughing.
"The joke wasn't that funny, you know." Hermione said letting her dress fall and heading to the sink, where there was no soap.
She turned the knob and only a few trickles of water came out.
"Reminds me of your style of peeing." Ron commented.
"Oh shut up!"
"Except yours kept fluctuating, it was like, peeeee….stop! Pee, pee, pee, stop! Pee, stop! Peeeeeeeeeeeee, stop! Peeee peeeee, stop! Pee-"
"I get your point." Hermione interrupted, she never felt so embarrassed in her whole life.
"Peeee-"
WHACK!
Hermione hit Ron on his chest.
"What's that for?"
"For being an unbearable git!" She exclaimed stalking over to the other side of the dungeon.
"Well, that's hurts." Ron said from behind her.
Hermione stopped walking, she noticed that there was an emotion in his voice that she never heard before, it actually sounded as if…he really did get hurt by her words…
She turned around and looked at him, they stared at each other.
Before either of them could say anything more, the door opened once again and Peter Pettigrew stepped into the room.
"Come, we have some work to do." Peter said, he took out his wand and said, "Chaineromos!"
As the chains locked onto her wrists and feet. Since Ron and her were standing a great distance from each other Peter said, "Unitisid!" She felt the chain decreasing in length as it pulled Ron and her together until they were only about a foot away from each other.
"Let's head off, then." Peter said leading them out of the dungeon.
Hermione looked down and saw three House-Elves running into the dungeon.
Peter followed her gaze and said, "Every other day they'll come to clean out your dungeon, this serves only as a purpose for us, as we have to keep you clean until we use the potion." With that, he laughed gleefully and guided them up a set of stairs.
