A/N here's the next chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own it anymore, I gave it to J.K. Rowling! JK! It's always been hers.
Hermione sat cross legged and gazed defiantly into the cold red eyes of Voldemort. "Go ahead, kill me! You'll never get Harry!"
"My dear, daft little girl, I am the Dark Lord and the Dark Lord gets whatever he wants." Voldemort said sternly.
A shadow darkened the door as a hooded figure walked in. "My Lord, there is a group at the front door demanding to be let in. Perhaps you should come check?"
The dark Lord's eyes flashed. "Blaise, you go check it out!"
"Yes sir." Blaise said, grateful to be leaving the side of his master. He rushed out into the long narrow hallway and stepped through the curtains veiling the most secretive parts of the place. Now that he was in the more common areas, there was much hustling as the dark wizards went about their dark business. It took all his keen eyesight not to lose the wizard bringing him to greet the newcomers.
Now as he stood in front of the door he smoothed his robes and made sure his hair looked perfect before withdrawing his wand from his pocket and motioning for the door to be opened.
In walked Pansy and Draco, holding a rope between them. They gave a heavy tug and three figures were thrown onto the floor at Blaise's feet. He sneered at them as they turned their snotty faces up to him. More muggles...
One of the boys stood up. Quickly, he wrapped his tied hands around Blaise's thin neck and tightened his grip. He sneered and his dark eyes seemed to glitter with hatred. He looked wild as a peice of hair fell into his face. "Where's Alex?"
"T-the muggle girl?" Blaise managed to choke out. He snapped his fingers and Draco instantly pulled the boy away from him, throwing him once more to the ground.
"Traitor..." the boy whimpered softly as he was kicked in the gut by Pansy. Blaise smiled, knowing he'd enjoy this. He knelt beside the prisoner.
"Alex is doing just fine. She's as happy as a bluebird. Of course if you wish to see her yourself, I can bring you to her. She's up in my chambers right now..."
The boy jumped at him again, this time both landed heavily with the prisoners hands wrapped once more around Blaise's neck. "I'll kill you! Do you hear me? You're dead!"
Blaise laughed as the blue eyed girl... the only girl prisoner darted forward and seized the man by the arms. "Chris stop it! This will get you nowhere... just let go!"
"Where's Alex!" Chris demanded, trying to shake the girl off.
"I already told you... she's in my chambers..." Blaise giggled. "Would I lie?"
With that he threw Chris off his feet and he watched the boy slam into the wall. He fell with a heavy thud. The other muggles immediately rushed to help him.
"Chris! Oh my god... Billy he's not breathing... Chris wake up!" the girl screamed.
"Rosie come on. Get away and let me see." Billy said pushing Rosie lightly aside to see his friend unconsciously slumped against the wall. Rosie took to pleading with Draco.
"Why? Why would you do this? I thought you were our friend... we trusted you! What about Hermione!" she begged, tears in her eyes. Draco just glared at her blankly.
"I've had enough of this." Blaise said, at once becoming bored. He clapped and another wizard came forward, immediately grabbing the bindings of each prisoner and leading them down a long dark hallway. Draco stared after them with a guarded expression on his face, allowing Pansy and Blaise to steer him away.
Alex blinked as the heavy door was heard being opened. Immediately, she dropped from her perch on the windowsill where she had been debating her chances of jumping. She winced at the sound of her heavy chains hitting the stone floor, but whoever opened the door didn't seem to care, for a young man was thrown in and the door was slammed shut once more.
The young man sat on the floor, shaking slightly as he sobbed and shivered. Tentatively ALex took a step forward and called out, "Neville? Is that you?"
He looked up at her with a glare of defiance which was immidiately replaced by a softer gaze as he recognized who it was. Hoarsely he spoke through dry lips that hadn't been used for a long time. "I remember you... you're that muggle girl aren't you? The one who was kidnapped to help them find Hermione right?"
"Y-yes... that's right. Not voluntarily of course, I would never turn Hermione in..." ALex said nervously.
Neville showed her a smile. It was small and weak but it was an attempt and she knew it. She could not help but smile back. A little more calmly he said, "So are you the reason I was so kindly thrown in here?"
"Yes I told them I wanted company and Blaise listened to me... is that ok?"
His eyes filled to brimming with tears as he sobed out his hapiness and relief. "Thank you so much! You don't know what it was like down there... you weren't there as long! They wanted me to tell them secrets... stuff even I would never give away... it was awful! All the torture they would put me through for remaining silent, I thought I would crack... thank you so much..."
Uneasily, she walked over and patted him on the back. "There, there Neville... it's alright. I'm only sorry I couldn't free you... I wish we could get out of this place! Blaise will surely kill me once he gets tired of having me around... I hope he doesn't expect things from me..."
That's when Neville noticed the chains around her ankles. He looked up at her sadly. "He won't let you go, will he?"
She shook her head. "He will never let me go... I'm his own little muggle slave..."
Neville grimaced a little then smiled. "Anyways... thank you."
"No problem really... I just wish I could see my friends again-" Alex began. Just then they heard voices in the hallway. There were yells and thuds as a huge group of people went bye. She motioned for Neville to be quiet then placed her ear against the door.
"Let me go! Let us go, we just came for the muggle girl!" Came a familiar voice. Alex stiffled a gasp. That was Rosie! Another moment of listening informed her that Chris and Billy were there too. She practically jumped for joy but then she heard the voices going away... they were being taken somewhere else!
"No!" she cried pounding on the door. She sank to her knees sobbing uncontrollably. So close... they had been so close, only to be snatched away again. This was plain torture. "Bring them back..."
Neville sighed, biting back his own tears... he sat beside her and tried to smile.
After seeing that the new prisoners were thrown in a cell, Blaise returned to his master who had not yet killed the girl. Voldemorte looked up when he entered. Quickly Blaise said, "The rest of the muggles are here, Draco and Pansy brought them in."
"Excellent!" The Dark Lord cried. "Apparently I was wrong about Craco betrying us. Alright then, they shall all witness the my first step towards my most wonderous triumph: The End of Harry Potter!"
His eyes landed on Hermione. She looked back, truly frightened. Loudly, she gulped.
A/N It took me forever to get this out. If there are typos I am sorry do forgive me!
