Chapter 14: Grim Future

The door opened as several troupes grabbed them. Harry didn't fight, but he was planned to get out of this. Klaus watched Harry as he kept to his side as long as he could, showing loyalty in Harry 's eyes. Violet and sunny struggled as the troupes grabbed Violet's arm. Violet struggled as hard as she could, but stopped when she spotted Harry Shaking his head 'no'.

The troupes lead them down stairs and into a room with huge, old wooden desk in the center and a chair that looked like it would fall apart under the weight of an infant sitting on it. The walls looked as if they were painted with dust and dirt and had cracks running down it in different directions and if you squinted it looked like cobwebs. Only one window on the right wall with dusty blood red curtains.

In the room stood Bellatrix smirking maliciously and Count Olaf with an evil glint shinning in his eyes. Harry didn't like the situation at all or the way they were looking at them. He sighed, he knew there was no way out; there only hope was Lupin coming in time to save them.

"Well, Bellatrix. It seem that our business and partnership is finished. So, you get, Potter." stated Count Olaf as he walked casionally towards them. " And I get the Bauderlaires."

"Quite right." agreed Bellatrix as they both shook hands, then she turned towards Harry with a smirk brighten up her face. Harry averted his eyes to the window; outside the storm reflected just how much danger they were in. He knew he would be sent to Voldemort and be tortured and soon to follow death. He knew the fate of the Bauderlaires as well, they would be locked up until Count Olaf got his hands on their fortunate, and he may even torture them. To him the future looked extremely dark and terrible for all of them.

Suddenly, dragged out of his thoughts by a hand crushing his shoulder. He looked up to see Count Olaf towering over him as he increased the sharp pain in his shoulder and pushed him towards Bellatrix. She laughed evilly as she waved her wand and Bright orange ropes shot out of it and wrapped around Harry tightly. He closed his eyes tightly as despair filled his very heart and in pain of lungs being crushed. The evil laughs of Bellatrix echoed around the room and washed over Harry as she walked around him. Once she stood behind Harry, she kicked the back of his knees. Harry gasped as he felt the stinging in the back of his knees and fell forward and on to his knees.

Klaus, Violet, and Sunny watched sadly as theses events unfolded. They had also been tied up, but with regular rope. Klaus and Violet spotted that Harry had given in and didn't fight them as if in defeat, they couldn't believe it. They knew him to be brave, daring, caring, strong, stubborn, and cunning, but he wasn't act like it. Klaus and Violet exchanged worried glances as they continued to watch Bellatrix and Harry.

"Potter, you're making this to easy. Are you trying to ruin my fun? Where's your hot headed temper or your foolishly rash actions?" asked Bellatrix bitterly with a frown and narrowed eyes as she towered over Harry. Then, a malicious smirk and evil glint apperated as she raised her wand and shouted, "Curcio!"

Harry felt the pain ran up and down his spine and burn his nerves. He bite down on his lip to stop the screams from escaping, but soon his lip began to bleed and the screams escaped his lips and trembled all over as the pain ripped through him. He could hear the laughter not only Bellatrix's, but also Count Olaf's as well.
