Harrison's POV
When he came to his head had a roaring migraine. It came from one being allowed to sleep off a stupefy. There were a few things that annoyed him more.
The air around him didnt smell of a cellar or cell. In fact, it smelled surprisingly clean to keep a prisoner in. Opening his eyes he found himself in a lavish room. The walls were a calming beige color. While the bedding was black and gold. It was an odd color choice but Harrison couldn't find fault with it.
Sitting up he found that the one who took him removed his shirt. Thankfully he was still in the pants he had been wearing. Grindelwald had left him with some dignity after all.
Gingerly he slid off the bed and tested his body. Beyond the migraine, there weren't any lingering pains in him. Testing out his mobility he found everything still in working order.
To his disappointment but unsurprisingly his wand was not on him. A quick search of the room revealed it wasnt anywhere in the vicinity. On top of that his lighter was gone as well.
The only thing left to try was the door. There was no way the Dark Lord left his door unlocked. The man went to the trouble of kidnapping him from MACUSA he wouldn't want Harrison to escape. If there was one thing the young man was good at it was escaping.
Still, he tried the door and to his surprise, it was unlocked. The door was easily pushed open to reveal a hall. The walls were made of stone and torches lined it.
Harrison threw his nose into the air trying to scent it. There were no unusual scents. He easily found the scent of the man who attacked him. It was leading to the right.
So naturally, Harrison took the path to the left. Fighting the man straight out wouldn't work. He would have to use every trick he had if he wanted to get out. That meant hiding and trying to find a way to catch someone off guard.
He had barely taken a few corners when there was a flare-up of magical aura. Oops, it seemed he had been found out. With that, he began running.
Footsteps resounded behind him. Whoever had caught him had to be a magical sensitive. Even while running he knew how to make his footfalls silent. Either that or there was a tracking charm on him. Either was a possibility.
No matter how fast he ran it seemed the footsteps were right behind him. As he turned left another time he almost ran into a wall. Shit dead end!
Turning he found a white blond-haired man blocking his exit. The man had his wand out and at the ready. Harrison was unarmed but not defenseless. His mismatched blue and black eyes watched Harrison warily. The feeling was mutual.
The man said looking him over, "You won't be able to leave this castle. The wards have been set against you leaving. I didnt expect you to wake up so soon. If I did I would have been there when you awoke."
That's when it hit him. He knew exactly who this man was. Gellert Grindelwald the Dark Lord that Dumbledore defeated. It was controversial on which Dark Lord had more power. Voldemort's insanity had not done him any favors in this. It drove a lot of potential followers away. Grindlewald was said to have been just as charming as Tom Riddle before the Horcruxes.
Harrison even if he had a way to defend himself couldn't fight a sane Dark Lord. He won against Voldemort by luck and the snake man's insanity. If he had been sane Harrison would have been in the ground in his fourth year.
Harrison questioned his eyes cold, "What do you want with me Grindelwald? If it is for me to join you, you have another thing coming."
He wasnt tempted by Voldemort and he sure as hell wouldn't be tempted by his predecessor. Dark Lords rose and fell like the tide. All he had to do was wait out the war.
First, though he had to get the hell out of this place. Which meant going through the Dark Lord and searching for a weak point in the wards. If the Dark Lord was able to put upwards against his scent seeker form that would make it much more difficult.
Scent seekers being unknown at this time meant the wards usually weren't set against him. He didnt know how long he had been asleep for. It could have been days for all he knew. It all depended on how much power was in that spell and if it was used again while he was unconscious.
Grindelwald said taking a step closer to the younger man, "Now let's go back to the room I had set up for you. We need to have a conversation."
Harrison waited until he was close before he lunged. Pulling his wolf forward he shifted between human and animal form. Only to be thrown back into his human skin. Pain erupted around his left shoulder. It felt as if someone was burning him with hellfire.
Grindelwald caught him as he fell back. Harrison snarled. "What the fuck was that?"
Grindelwald pointed to Harrison's still bare chest as he replied calmly, "A rune ward that will keep you from shifting into your animal form. Since I don't know what exactly you are I could not put it into my wards around the castle. That sequence will stop any willing shifter from moving between forms. It will also burn to vary degrees if you try to leave the castle without my permission. Or enter a room that is forbidden for you."
The runes had only appeared when he tried to shift. There was a main rune somewhere that acted as a controller for the rest of the sequence.
Grindelwald pulled him up so that he standing before directing him back the way they had come. The wizard had won this round but Harrison was determined to get free.
