Prologue

"Harry! Wake up!" Harry jerked awake only to find himself unable to move. "Oh thank Merlin you're alive." He turned his head to see Hermione and Ron chained up and bruised, but still alive.

"What happened?" Harry asked grogilly. He shook his head, trying to clear it of the cobwebs, but only made it hurt more. "And why does my head hurt?"

"We were captured Harry. The raid, well, it was a hoax. Remember?" Harry nodded slowly.

"Yeah. We got there ready to fight, but found nothing. Then we were jumped from behind." Ron said softly. "And guys, we're not alone." He nodded towards a corner where two other figures were chained up. Neither of them moved and they were curled into balls, away from the thin stream of sunlight filtering in.

"Who are they?" Harry asked as he shifted, testing his bonds.

"We don't know. Ron and I only woke up moments ago. It looks like they've been here for a long time." Hermione said. Harry shifted so his back was resting against the wall. "We tried to wake them but no go."

"It's like they're in a coma or something." Ron spoke up. Harry shrugged. "Deatheaters brought in food about an hour ago. They said they'll be back to bring us dinner."

"Like I want to eat anything they give me." Harry grumbled.

"We ate it and we're fine." Hermione admitted. Harry gave her a glare. "I know, we shouldn't have, but I scanned it with my mind and there wasn't anything wrong with it."

"Fine, that's fine then." Harry sighed. He shifted again as the light in the room dimmed. The sunlight disappeared and lamps lit up around the ceiling. The figures in the corner stirred and pulled away from each other.

Both were male. One had white-blond hair that was stained reddish, the other had dark brown or black hair. Both were very thin and injured by the looks of their tattered clothes. The one with the white-blond hair looked up and over at them. He broke into a wry grin.

"Angel, my Angel, we have company." He sang childishly. The other, Angel, merely grunted and met Harry's green eyes. "Who are you?"

"My name's Harry." Harry said warily. "How long have you been down here?"

"I'm Spike, this is Angel. We've been here for a long time. Snow's fallen and melted a few times now." Harry blinked. "So what do the hooded wonders want with you three?"

"What do they want with you?" Harry replied. Spike grinned and twisted himself around to face Harry.

"I'll tell if you tell." Spike bargained. Harry nodded warily. "I'll go first. They want Angel and I for our blood." Harry blinked.

"Why?" Harry grimaced as Spike's face morphed into something that looked horrible and gross.

"Vampire." Hermione said instantly.

"Smart girl." Spike grinned, reverting back to his human face. "Now why do they want you?"

"Their leader, Voldemort, has a grudge against me. I nearly killed him when a spell went bad, when I was little. My friends were just dragged along for the ride."

"I see. Much more interesting than why we're here." Spike said gravely. "Well, welcome to the place we've been calling home. You're welcome to share the rats with us." Harry grimaced and Hermione retched. Ron gave Spike a look. "What? You are."

So? Good? Bad? I'm going to try to make this long, but I can't promise anything.
