Chapter 15 Of Findings and Retrieving Friends
~ Normal POV ~
In a dark cell a girl opened her eyes and groaned, pain flaring over her body. It was much less than it should be, she knew.
Audrey shook her head lightly and wondered why she was so warm and why there were arms around her waist. She looked behind her and saw Harry, still asleep. She sighed and snuggled back into his embrace as much a she could without hurting either of them. She closed her eyes and thought about everything.
Harry and Audrey had been tortured for 14 days and they were finding it harder and harder to block the pain out. Continuously more slipped through their barriers. Audrey closed her eyes again and fell asleep in the arms of the boy she loved, thought he didn't know it. In her dream she relived what had happened almost a week ago.
~ Dream / Memory / Flashback ~
Harry and Audrey were pushed into the throne room. Voldemort was sitting on his throne, surrounded by DE's.
"Untie them" Voldemort said.
Two DE's removed the ropes from Harry and Audrey's wrists. They rubbed their wrists to soothe some of the numbness.
"Sssso.I'm giving you a new chance to join me.all you have to do, isss sssay yesss and tell me all you know about the Order of the Phoenix" Voldemort said.
"Gee.how am I going to say this.?" Harry said.
".Go to Hell?" Audrey finished helpfully.
Voldemort growled. "You'll change your mindssss ssssoon enough. You've ssseen nothing of my torturersss talentssss!" he spat.
Harry and Audrey just looked blank at him. Voldemort gestured a finger at them and two DE's grabbed the two mages and tied them up again.or rather.they tried to. The two mages fought themselves free.
Harry jumped over the DE and grabbed his shoulders, put his foot to the base of his back and pushed with all his might his foot down, down while pulling the DE's shoulders backwards. breaking the DE's back. As he did so Audrey shot around her guard grabbing his head and twisted it.thus breaking HIS neck.
This all happened in a matter of seconds. But soon a lot of wands were pointing at the mages and they stood still, back to back, counting the forces against them.
"Well that wasss very amussssing, I'm looking forward to the day thossse talentsss of yoursss will be in my ssservice" Voldemort said looking pleased with himself.
"Never!" Harry hissed.
"Tie them up and build up the torture level.as much as you like" Voldemort said to the DE's who were grinning like Christmas had come early.
Harry and Audrey were dragged off once again, but this time they were both brought to the same dungeon where they were shackled to the wall.
One DE walked to the fire in the middle of the room, put on a glove and grabbed a hot iron that was shaped like a star from the large fire with which he then walked to Harry, looking up at him.
"Anything to say Potter?" he mocked.
"Yeah. is your mother dead?" Harry he asked.
The DE's eyes slimmed. " Yeah..."
"Thought so. Must have been quite a bitch dying on ya"
The DE stood on tiptoe to meet Harrys eyes. "Then what does that make you?" He whispered threatingly. Harry smirked through his bangs with a silent promise in his eyes. "An evil son of a bitch"
The DE smirked satisfied and then immediately without pause pushed the iron against Harry's right shoulder. Harry bit on his lip and closed his eyes as he felt the iron burn and put up as much shields as he could. Had he been at full energy there would be no problem since fire was his element, but he was far from that.
Audrey could only look on; she could almost feel the pressure of the iron and the burning heat against her own shoulder.
The DE pulled the iron back.
Meanwhile another DE had grabbed another hot iron, this one shaped like a snake. He walked over to Audrey. He smiled maliciously and slowly brought it down, pressing it a little over her left breast, over her heart. Audrey winced as she felt the iron burn through her skin; she buried her nails in her hands to distract her from the amount of pain that seeped through her cracking shields.
Harry and Audrey were kept in that dungeon for a long time. In the end they were just numb and got dragged back to their cells. but nothing had escaped their lips.
~ End Dream / Memory / Flashback ~
Harry opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times. He felt a pleasant weight on his chest and looked down into red/brown waves.
'I don't recall falling asleep like this' He thought, he hugged Audrey closer; 'Not that I really mind.'
He sat there looking at a now peaceful sleeping Audrey for a while. After about 10 minutes Audrey started to stir and opened her eyes. She looked up into Harry's smiling face and smiled back.
"Good morning, Nova" Harry said.
"I agree on the morning, but I renounce the good" Audrey replied and stretched. She grimaced as she felt on of her bruised, or maybe broken, ribs.
~ Order of the Phoenix HQ (Some days later) ~
"Prowl, Prowl, PROWL! Severus just confirmed where they are! WE FOUND THEM!" Hermione yelled while running through HQ towards the kitchen.
Mrs. Black started to yell but Hermione just cast a simple silencing spell, which in her case had enough power to silence an Orc victory party, and ran into the kitchen. She had finished talking to Snape through the fire a minute ago.
Ron immediately stood up from the kitchen table, where he had been doing research, reading a file that Draco had assembled. The three Slytherins at Hogwarts were aware of the truth and helped where they could. They had joined the Order in the first week of Harry and Audrey's capture. Though they were only allowed doing research.
"Really.? After almost three weeks?" he gasped relief filling his whole being.
"Yep, we can go and get them out" Hermione said smiling happily.
"Where are they?" Molly asked after snapping out of her shock.
"Egypt, near the valley of the kings. It seems that they built a castle there and cloaked it with every possible anti-Muggle spell in history, but there have been reports of disappearing Muggles as you know. And just now Severus confirmed the location. He has to go there tonight" Hermione replied.
"Let's go get them then!" Ron yelled.
"Not so fast Mr. Weasley!" Snape said as he entered the kitchen.
"What do you mean" Ron growled.
"I mean that this isn't an easy job. They're at Voldemort's HQ, which means a lot of DeathEaters, Dementors, Voldemort himself and Gods know what else" Snape replied coolly.
"He's right Ron. This has to be a planned extraction. We get in, we find them, get out" Hermione said.
Ron nodded.
"Okay, so how do we do this?" he asked.
"I've got to go there tonight. I can check how they're doing as well as look at the defences. After I get that information we'll work out a mission plan with Dumbledore" Snape answered while giving a calculating look at Hermione after Ron gave up the battle so fast.
Hermione and Ron agreed and Snape left to prepare for later that night. Hermione and Ron sat down at the kitchen table and sighed. Molly was already making a pot of strong tea and gave them both a cup, which they gulped down fast, burning their tongue.
"Not long anymore" Ron sighed.
"Yes.not long." Hermione added.
They quietly sat at the table and felt peace. They would finally reassemble with their friends. If they where alive? That's another story.
~ That Night in Egypt ~
Harry looked around the cell he shared with Audrey.
'Well old Voldie doesn't know what he wants, one day he won't stop bugging us and the next he doesn't do anything for hours' he thought. 'Not that I'm complaining or anything'
Audrey was lying on the ground looking up and thinking of a way to escape, she hadn't thought of anything yet. Harry looked at her; both of them had mostly healed since Voldemort had left them alone for three days, though some parts were still sore.
"Any luck on a plan?" Harry asked.
"None. what-so-ever" Audrey replied dully.
Harry sighed. Then the door to their cell opened and a single DE walked in.
Harry and Audrey tensed, thinking 'Don't congratulate yourself before you're over the stream'
"Calm down Potter, Black" a voice they knew all too well said.
"Professor Snape?" Harry asked.
"No it's Santa Clause" Snape replied.
"Not that I'm happy to see you, sir, but what are you doing here?" Audrey asked.
"I don't have long. The Order will have you out of here within a day" Snape said.
"Took ya long enough" Harry muttered sourly.
Snape just nodded and left.
"Well one more day and were outta this place" Harry said giving Audrey the first smile in a week.
Audrey nodded.
----
Half an hour later they were dragged out of their cell and brought to the throne room. There they saw the largest group of DE's they'd ever seen.there were well over a hundred of them.
"Holy Goddess!" Audrey gasped softly. Harry just looked grim.
They were forced on their knees before Voldemort.
"Missster. Potter and Misss. Black, welcome to thisss meeting. Look around you; thisss isss but a part of my army. Now I'll asssk you again.join me.forget that foolisssh rebellion of yoursss" he hissed.
"You think that power alone could make us switch side?" Harry said mockingly. "Ha! We've got that covered all by ourselves"
"Not jussst that Missster. Potter, you've been tortured by just a few of my DeathEatersss. Imagine what would happen if you were tortured by thisss entire group here" Voldemort hissed in satisfaction.
A cold shiver ran down both their spines. They may have been mages but they were weaker and even at usual strength they couldn't fight off so many curses. They might've been able if they'd had their full abilities but they wouldn't receive those until they were 17.
Oh boy..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
By the time all the DE's were done Audrey and Harry had still not spoken. It was around ten in the morning. The DE's and Voldemort were still in the dark when it came to the Order. But the two Mages were worst of then ever. Harry left leg was broken; he had a lot of severe wounds and was bleeding a lot from the force of the curses thrown all upon them in loads. Each time was worse than the other time and harder to keep out.
Audrey had a large head wound which was bleeding. Her left arm was broken in three places and she had a lot of cuts over her body.
They were dragged to their cell and thrown in. They crawled to each other and fell unconscious on top of each other.
They woke up several times for a few minutes each before falling unconscious once again.
---
By the time the Order, or more correctly Hermione, Ron, Remus and Alastor, found them eleven hours later they both had a dangerous high fever and were still unconscious.
Harry woke up long enough to say, "Took ya long enough guys" before he fell unconscious once again.
"We have to get out of here fast" Hermione said, looking at her friends with tears in her eyes as she saw the wounds, both old and new.
"Yeah, come on" Ron said and led the group away, carefully dodging patrols with the information delivered by Snape. He had memorized it all.
They were out of the dark magic location spells within ten minutes and apparated immediately to Hogwarts infirmary. Remus and Alastor used a portkey.
~*~
"Poppy, Poppy!!!" Remus yelled.
Poppy ran to him immediately.
"Oh my.What did that son of a bitch do to them?" she gasped.
They looked at her surprised. Poppy Pomfrey using foul words?! That'd be the day!. Err yeah. carry on.
"We'll worry about that later, just help them" Alastor growled.
"I'm going to need help, this is very serious" Poppy said looking grave.
Remus hurriedly put Audrey on one of the beds and Alastor put Harry in the one next to her.
"You three help Poppy, I'm going to report to Dumbledore at HQ" Alastor said and left by portkey.
"Ron, start to clean Harry's wounds, Hermione work on Audrey's and Remus keep pressing cold cloths to their heads and try to get the fever down. I'm going to get everything we can need, potions, gauze and more. I'll have to reset their broken bones as well. As soon as they're stable we'll move them to a secluded ward. We can't afford to have a student see them like this" Poppy said and rushed off.
