Rory felt a bit nauseous and felt the cold concrete beneath her. Alarmed, she tried to get up but couldn't. It was as though something bound her, but she saw no strings holding her down. Then it hit her. She had been kidnapped with Hermione. Panicking she shifted her eyes to see Hermione in the same circumstances as she was. There was also a gruesome rat on top of Hermione, nibbling on a bit of bread that was on the ground. Trying the scream, she attempted to open her mouth, but found that she was unable to. Hermione seemed to be in panic. There was fear in her eyes.

A cold voice filled the air.

"So they wake."

Lucius sneered and kicked Rory's legs.

"You two should be happy that I even let the both of you stay in these dungeons. You are lower than the cockroaches that infest this place, and much lower than that rat on top of that filthy little mudblood. What I do for my son."

Lucius seemed to like to hear the sound of his own voice, because he continued.

"I even associated myself with that stupid git of a muggle. It's bad enough that we are connected in anyway, but now we have to work together. I don't like it. Would have sent someone to do my bidding, but I would go to any length to see the person who has betrayed me swim in his own pain and guilt."

He levitated Hermione with his wand.

"He started to fancy you, I can see it in his eyes. If anything, I know my son and I know the look a Malfoy has when he likes something. Yes, for a mudblood, you are pretty, but I never thought a Malfoy would ever stoop to your level. Disgusting little creature."

He poked her with his wand.

"You should be grateful that I, a pureblood, even decided to be this close to you. This must be a glorious moment, to be at such distance with Lucius Malfoy."

He flicked his wand and Hermione fell to the ground. There is sure to be bruises from that loud thud. He then got Rory up off her feet.

"I would love to just throw you away. No magical abilities. You are the only thing in this estate that holds nothing of magic. This must be the greatest moment in you stupid little life. Yes. You have never felt magic before have you? I've always wanted to see if with enough pain, a muggle can scream, even under the total lock they are in."

Rory's eyes widened with fear, and he whispered a simple word she had never heard before.

"Crucio."

She felt her brain rip in many different fragments. Everything in her mind had cluttered her thought at once and she could feel the scream trying the rip out of her throat. Within seconds, blood was dripping and her eyes rolled back. The pain was unending.

Lucius was enjoying every bit of it, with a smirk on his face. Luckily for Rory, the pain only lasted for a minute, but it was a minute she would fully remember for the rest of her life. Lucius dropped her on the floor.

"Since both of you are both of you are completely helpless and the mudblood doesn't have a wand, I don't know any reason in which why you have to be bond. You are free the roam this gracious cell I have given you. And you, mudblood Granger, don't even think about apparating. You can't here."

He smirked and walked away. Right before he left, he flicked his wrist and both girls slumped.

Rory spat out blood and Hermione was tending to her.

"What a disgustingly low man! Using a Unforgiveable curses on you! And crucio. I don't even know how you aren't completely insane now! You are so lucky Rory."

A moan came out of her mouth.

"Lucky? God, I need coffee."

Smiling, Hermione wiped the blood off of Rory's face.

"Everything will be ok…"

*~*~*~*

"I can't believe we are just standing here doing nothing!"

Tristan was frustrated, pacing around his apartment.

"Shut up! I'm thinking!"

"Well think faster! Who knows what they are doing to them!"

Tristan grabbed a hold of Draco's shoulders.

"Think about what they could have done to Rory! She isn't even a part of this and yet, she was still dragged into it! It's my fault! She's probably hurt and suffering all because I wanted a second chance with her. God, I wish I had never bugged her. She probably hates me by now. She has to be ok!"

Draco removed Tristan's hands.

"DuGrey, snap out of it! Let me think now. Hermione and Rory are probably in the dungeon, and I can't even apparate there because there is that stupid bound Lucius put on it."

"You have a dungeon in your house?!"

"Look, we can't just sit here and worry, we have to do something right?"

"That's what I've been telling you!"

"It's risky, are you up for it."

"Draco, don't you know I would do anything for this girl? I need to get her out of whatever predicament she is in right now!"

Draco sighed and nodded.

"Hermione's going to kill me."

"What is it?!"

Draco grabbed Tristan's hand and gripped it hard.

"You'll see."

And with a pop, they were gone.
