Ron screamed again, as the Cruciatus curse was used upon him again and again, sometimes lasting a few minutes, sometimes a few seconds, but very quickly he was covered in cuts. His shirt had been ripped to shreds and his hair was a mess. His eyes looked wild, as if he was trying to see a way out

"That long hair of yours, it won't do. Diffindo"

A strip of Ron's hair was sliced away and fell. The rest of his red mane was cut away, leaving him with very, very short hair. He was almost bald now

"Do you submit?" asked Lucius coldly

"No," Ron answered

"What? I missed that"

"No"

"No as in not yet? Oh dear, let's go again. Crucio"

Ron screamed again and again, as his body and mind were stretched to their limits

Draco's POV

I stared out the window, watching as the rain poured down. Hermione had gone into Hogmeade with Ginny so they could so some shopping. Harry went to Diagon Alley to tell the twins about what happened to Ron. So I was home alone. Well, not quite alone. Elizabeth began to cry. I turned around and gently took her out of her crib and held her upright, so her head was under my chin. I went back to the window, as Elizabeth continued to cry

"There, there, its okay darling, daddy's here"

Elizabeth sniffed, but at least she quieted down. I guess she wanted to be with me

"So my father is still alive," I said, looking down at my daughter, "And you are in trouble. But don't worry, daddy will make sure no one will hurt you, I promise"

She had stopped crying now. I smiled and lifted her right hand up. Her tiny fingers curled around my index finger and I smiled again. She was so tiny, so helpless and yet, I felt like my life could never be any more complete

"I'll be there for you, Lizzie, okay, I make another promise to you. Oh man, I make a lot of promises, don't I? But you are my special girl"

I kissed the top of her head

"I thought I was your special girl"

I turned around and smiled at Hermione. She was standing in the doorway, bags in her hands. I walked closer to her

"So, what did you get?" I asked

"Baby stuff, you know nappies and all that"

"I see"

She placed the bags down and took Elizabeth out of my arms and I felt like a part of me had been taken away. Hermione walked away to the crib, as I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist

"What are we going to do?" she asked suddenly

"About what? About Weasley or Elizabeth?"

"Well, maybe both"

"Enlighten me"

"Ron's been my best friend since grade one and now he's gone off with your father. I don't know what we can do about him. And as for Elizabeth, I seem to be coping well, but I feel pressured because I'm young"

"Hermione, dear, what you have to understand is that I'm here now and you're not alone. I am here now to take care of Elizabeth. I might not have been there at her birth, but I will do my best to make sure she's well loved"

Hermione turned around, smiling at me

"Is that true?"

"From within my heart"

She leaned forward and just before our lips could touch, Elizabeth cried. Hermione turned away, as I headed downstairs, just as Harry came in and sat at the table, head in hands. I sat across from him

"What can we do about Ron?" he asked, looking at me

"I think I know who it was Ron left with?"

"Who?"

"It was my father"

"What!"

"My father survived our last battle. I thought he died after being roasted by a dragon, but I thought wrong. Now he would be torturing Ron into becoming a Death Eater"

"Where could we find them?"

"At Malfoy Manor, I'm guessing, in the dungeons"

"Alright, let's go"

Harry and I got up from the table, before going upstairs. Hermione had just laid Elizabeth down when I walked in and grabbed a set of robes

"Where are you going?"

"Harry and I are heading over to Malfoy Manor to see if Ron is there"

"Be careful"

I kissed her on the lips and turned away, heading down the stairs to the front door

"Ready to go?" asked Harry

"Sure am"

We left the house and Apparated

"Resistance won't get you anywhere closer to your goal!" Lucius growled as he kicked Ron in the chest again

Ron groaned from the broken ribs. A tickle of blood near his mouth had dried, but more wounds were being inflicted on him. Now he was chained to in a dungeon, wearing nothing but a scanty loincloth, as Lucius kicked him over and over again

"Do you think resisting me will get you your little girl?" asked Lucius

Ron didn't answer, so Lucius kicked him in the head this time. He refused to make a noise, but he couldn't stand the pain any longer

"Submit!"

"I…I…don't…know"

"What?"

"I…don't…sure"

"You submit?"

"You…win"

"That's better"

Lucius grabbed Ron's left arm and twisted slightly, before pressing his wand to it

"Morsmordre"

Ron cried out in pain, as the Dark Mark was burnt into his skin. Lucius kicked him for his weakness and Ron sank to the ground

"Now, as a caution, should you ever disobey me, your body will be shocked with pains similar to the Cruciatus curse, understand?"

Ron nodded, holding his arm protectively

"That way, you'll never fail me!"

BANG!

Lucius looked at the damaged ceiling and glared at Ron

"Your friends are here, Silencio"

At once, Ron tried to call out, but failed. Then, Lucius hit him in the head with his wand and something descended on Ron, something that felt warm running down his body. He was being Illusionied!

No one was going to find him like that and he couldn't talk. He watched as Lucius melted into the surroundings

"No point in attacking Potter and Draco just yet," Lucius said from somewhere

Ron watched as Harry and Draco entered the dungeons. They looked around and a few times, Harry came close to Ron, but when he tried to move, he found he couldn't

Harry moved away and with a nod to Draco, left the dungeons. Draco followed after one last look and Ron gave in. He knew he couldn't go back now. His spirit folded in and died. He had to obey or die

He was now a Death Eater
