Hey everyone sorry for not updating in so long I have had major writers cramp on this story. No longer though so hopefully I won't take so long next time to write. I'm really sorry for taking so long.
Eclipse: does that mean that you've actually written?
(Glaring)…
Eclipse: I'll take that as a yes.
YOU get to do the disclaimer!
Eclipse: What?!
…Well?
Eclipse: Fine Dracona doesn't own anything except Masshiro.
Thank you! Now on with the fic!!!
Chapter 10
Draco paced back and forth across the Room of Requirements waiting for Harry…Er Potter to wake up. He didn't want to cast an Ennervate on Potter because then Harry would be conscious within a few seconds of waking up and Draco wanted to see Harry's reaction as he slowly came to.
Draco stopped and looked around the room again. Everything was exactly the same as it was last time he looked. Perfect. He let his eyes roam the walls trying to see the hair line fracture that was the only evidence of the door leading out from the room. Other then the fact that Draco knew where it was, it was almost impossible for anyone to see it.
He sighed then started pacing again. His original plan for revenge had been to throw Har…Potter into the same spring he had fallen into but decided against it. After all even if it was a horrible curse he like being unique after all if he ever needed a clever disguise that no wizard would ever look for…
He walked over to Potter checking the ropes and chains to make sure he was secure. Then summoning a chair from across the room he placed it in front of Har…Potter. Checking the clock to see how much time had passed he sighed. The potion had said it took thirty minutes for the victim… I mean subject to wake up and then it wouldn't be another five to ten minutes before they where fully awake, depending on how strong of a wizard they were. He had been giving Potter doses of the potion every twenty minutes ever since he started to wake up from the stupefy earlier that morning.
He still had five minutes to go until Harry started to wake.
Er…He meant to say Potter. His conscience was laughing in the back of his mind.
Growling he was about to stand up when a sudden movement from Potter caught his eye.
Harry groaned softly attempting to wake up. He knew something was wrong but his eyes refused to open. The potions grip was still quickly going away but Harry still had no idea what situation he was in.
Draco was frozen in shock, the potion still had at least five minutes before Potter woke-up. His mine raced through all the conditions to see what exactly went wrong, but he could think of nothing.
Suddenly a line popped into his head.
"The subject won't be fully awake for five to ten minutes. This varies slightly with the strength of the wizard."
Har…Er. Potter must be extremely powerful to be waking up so quickly.
Ron sat down across from Hermione, looking around the room for some sign of Harry.
"Have you seen Harry? He forgot to wake me up this morning." Seeing Hermione shake her head he sighed. " I hope he is okay."
They sat in silence for a moment when Hermione's head shot up. "You don't think anything's happened to him do you?"
Ron shock his head, "No there is no way that he could have something happen to him so soon."
"Yes, you're probably right." She said.
"Do you want to look for him later with me just in case?" Asked Ron. Hermione nodded, both of them stood up to leave. Ron reached over for a piece of toast from the table, looking up he saw Hermione glaring at him.
"What? I'm hungry still." Hermione shook her head and stocked out of the Great Hall, with Ron following behind like a confused puppy.
Harry still couldn't get his bearings. His mind was still rapped up in fog from the potion. Although from what he could see blurry images now compared to the black that it was earlier that had to be an improvement, although the blurs did remind him of the dungeons.
'Well I guess it would be safe to say that I have been captured by Death Eaters.' Thought Harry. He waited a minute to try to see passed the blurs but realizing his attackers must have taken his glasses off when he was unable to.
Remembering Masshiro was still with him Harry tried to feel for any movements to see where the basilisk was. He got worried when he didn't feel any.
>Massssshiro? Are you okay?> Harry whispered as softly as he could in case Voldemort was in the room.
>… Yes Massster I'm doing well. Havvve you been hurrrt?>
Harry laughed softly in relief.> No. I'm ffine.> He Looked around the room one more time for any sign of his captor. Finding none he laid his head back and closed his eyes the blurs were making him dizzy, as he wasn't use to not having glasses.
'He must be in pain if he is hissing.' Thought Draco. He stood to go get Potter's glasses from the table that he had put them on earlier. He jumped when he heard Harry laugh. 'How can he laugh when he's tied up and in pain?' Draco thought slightly spooked by the laugh.
Turning around he looked at his captive. Harry was chained to a stone slab in the middle of the room looking for the entire world like a sacrifice for some Aztec deity. His black pajamas blending in with the "sacrificial alter". Walking up to Harry he set his glasses back on his face, causing Harry to start in surprise.
Harry gasped when he saw Draco.
"Are you a Death Eater now Draco?!" Harry shouted angrily.
Draco shook his head and smirked. "Don't worry Potter. We're still in Hogwarts if that is what you are worried about. And no this is not an order from the dreaded Dark Lord." The sarcasm dripped from every word.
"Now Potter do you know what this is?" Draco asked picking up a vile of Veritaserum from where it had rested beside Harry's head. Harry's eyes widened. "I can see by your reaction that you do. What Potter afraid of what you might say?"
Harry clamped his jaw together and glared at Malfoy.
"I can see from your reaction that you are. Good that is the whole point of this little exercise." Draco said. "See you have way to many of my secrets and I need some of yours. That way you can't blackmail me and I won't be able to blackmail you. Equivalent Exchange. To gain something of equal value must be lost. Fair enough?"
Harry's eyes narrowed in puzzlement. He was very tempted to ask straight out what Draco meant by that, but the thought of the Veritaserum didn't allow for many questions. Harry thought about Draco's lecture for a moment then being the truly honorable Gryffindor that he was opened his mouth wide enough so Draco could pour three drops on his tongue. His Slytherin side remembering a book that he had read earlier this year about being able to control more of what you say if you take the potion willingly.
Draco, for his part was in shock. Potter was going to take the potion willingly. Deciding it was probably some Gryffindor foolishness, which they thought was bravery, must have taken over the Boy-Who-Lived, he poured three drops inside it.
Sitting back down in his chair beside Potter, Draco pulled out a fake pair of reading glasses a notebook and a quill. Putting on the glasses he looked surprisingly like Rita Skeeter's, looking up at Potter with a small frown on his face, down at the notebook, then back at Potter, Draco started his investigation.
"Now Mr. Potter," He said with the same tone that he had seen muggle actors use in those court scenes. Secretly of course if his father had ever caught him… "I have a few questions to ask you…"
Crabbe and Goyle didn't notice that Malfoy was missing that morning. They were to busy eating breakfast, having decided that he had been planning something for a while now and was probably still working on it.
Snape for his part spent the morning presiding over a group of first years who had earned detention earlier because they had all blown up there potions earlier that week. And was therefore to busy making sure they didn't damage anything when they cleaned some of the more dangerous potion ingredients and equipment.
Muhahahahah!!! Do you know how long it took me to find a way to torture Harry that would work for this fic? The pain. I asked everyone and no one had a good way to do it! Well nothing that was PG anyway.
Inuyasha: That doesn't mean there weren't a lot of ways to torture him.
Yes but I want to keep this a PG rating. Thank you very much!
Inuyasha: Your weird you know that?
Thank you. You're so nice. I try really hard. Can you tell that I've been watching Full Metal Alchemist lately?
Anyway don't forget to review.
Mat: (Pops his head in) Hey! I thought that was my job?
