This Chapter: Harry is kidnapped and tortured

Warning: Some mentions of torture in this chapter, though not as much as later.

Now.........on with the story!


Harry landed with a thud onto a cold, stone floor. He looked up and recognized the room he was in. This was the room from his dreams with Voldemort. At that instant, his scar began to burn.

He knew Voldemort was in the room, so he looked to see where he was. He finally found him standing behind him, with Lucius Malfoy and another Death Eater he didn't recognize. He reached into his robes for his wand, but it wasn't there.

He must have left it in his dormitory. He knew he was done for. He couldn't fight Voldemort without his wand.

"Don't worry, Potter. I'm not planning on killing you just yet. You're going to suffer first. Crucio!" he said and Harry felt intense pain sweep over his body. He clenched his teeth. He wasn't going to give Voldemort the satisfaction of hearing him scream.

After what seemed like hours of being put under the Cruciatus Curse, Voldemort stopped torturing him and said, "Lucius, lock him up somewhere."

He felt someone grab the back of his robes and start dragging him across the room. He tried to struggle, but didn't have the energy. He gave up and allowed himself to be dragged to another room, where whoever was dragging him dropped him to the ground and kicked him in the stomach, forcing him inside.

The door was slammed shut and he heard the sound that came from it being magically sealed. He curled into a ball and slowly drifted to sleep. He was awoken several hours later by someone kicking him. He opened his eyes and rolled over. It was Lucius Malfoy.

"Time to have a little fun Potter." he sneered. Harry stared defiantly at him.

"Little baby Potter's going to be a tough one to break." he heard a woman say. He saw that it was Bellatrix Lestrange.

Hate coursed through his veins and he jumped up and lunged at her, but Malfoy said, "Expelliarmus," and Harry was flung backwards against a wall.

Harry lay gasping for air. He was sure that some of his ribs were broken, but that didn't stop Malfoy and Bellatrix from using the Cruciatus Curse along with a number of other spell designed to cause pain. Harry lost all track of time as curse after curse was placed on him. He heard the door slam, and he hoped that they had left.

Instead, he heard a new voice, one that he recognized, say, "The Dark Lord has requested your presence."

"Very well then. Come on Bella." said Malfoy. He heard the door open and close, and knew that they were gone.

"Har-Potter, are you all right?" asked Snape.

"Does it look like I am, Snivellus?" jeered Harry.

"Don't give me that tone Potter. We need to get out of here. Take this." said Snape, handing Harry a quill. Instantly, he felt the pull behind his naval.

Snape had given him a Portkey.


Next Chapter: Rescued

Whee! Harry's recued! Or has he?

Now that I've planted that little seed of doubt, I'm off to edit another chapter.
