A/N: Just a couple bits of info that are implied but not said. After Voldemort burnt Riddle Manor, Malfoy Manor became the new base of operations. Due to the success of their mission, Malfoy was granted ownership of Annika and Hermione became Fred's slave. Voldemort kept Ginny for himself.

The Day After the Burning of Riddle Manor....

ANNIKA'S P.O.V.

Annika, Ginny, and Hermione were sitting in their cell in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor. They were still trying to regain their strength from the night before. The Death Eaters spent the whole night rejoicing in the death of Harry Potter and the girls were forced to entertain them. Annika was better off than the other two, having had a few years of experience with them. She knew better than to try to fight them, the other two however; were stubborn as mules and almost got killed several times. Annika really couldn't blame them though. She still believed there were somehings worth

fighting for but for her those things went up in smoke, literally, the night before.

Annika sat in the corner with her knees to her chest trying to force back the thoughts of the night before. Ginny and Hermione were in opposite corners doing the same thing. Their clothes were ripped and they had bruises and blood stains all over their bodies. No one said a word. Annika knew what would happen if someone came down and caught them talking but Ginny and Hermione were just too griefstricken to find the words.

The sound of footsteps made them all look of from their individual reflections. Annika heart was pounding. She prayed it was Malfoy, so the other two could have more time to recover. As the footsteps came closer, she realized it was more than one person. Then, the three people none of them wanted to see appeared in front of them.

"We just thought you like to see the coverstory of today's Prophet." Fred said with a smirk.

He slid the copy he was holding through the bars. Annika knew what they were trying to do, so she didn't make a move for the paper. She assumed the others knew as well because they didn't move either.

"Not interested." Malfoy said. "Well, I guess will just have to read to you then. Accio, Daily Prophet!" The paper flew into his hands. "The three bodies that were pulled from the ashes of Malfoy Manor have been identified. Blah, blah blah! The bodies were burned so badly that they had the authorities had to use muggle dental records to identify them. After twelve hours of trying to obtain the records the three have been identified as Ronald Weasley, George Weasley, Harry Potter."

Malfoy handed the paper to Fred who continued:

"No one knows why they were there nor what happened. It is suspected that they went to save Harry Potter's half sister who had disppeared early yesterday morning. Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, informed the Minister of Magic this morning that Annika is still missing, along with four other students. Two of which he believes had something to do with Annika's disappearance and two who followed the three young victims to her rescue. We are not at liberty to reveal the names of any of these other students."

Annika tried her best to block out the voices. She prayed they would just go away but no such luck.

"It's quite ironic, really." Voldemort said as Fred finished the article. "He survived all these years only to be defeated. And now nothing will stand in my way."

"There are still people out there who can fight." Ginny said through gritted teeth.

"Ginny, just be quiet." Annika whispered. "It'll be less painful that way."

"No." Voldemort said. "I wanna hear what the blood traitor has to say. Continue sweetheart."

"I'm not your sweetheart." Ginny said agressively and Annika knew this wasn't going to end well. "But as long as there are people out there who are willing to stand up to you, there will always be something standing in your way. Just because you've murdered Harry Potter doesn't mean you've won."

Ginny was on her feet now. Annika took a deep breath and silently begged her to shut up.

"And let's get a few things straight, you've killed my boyfriend and my brothers and you've destroyed my friends but I'm not afraid of you and never will be. So don't expect me to lay down and play dead for you because it won't happen, ever. They wouldn't want me to let you win that easily." Ginny said.

She had crossed the cell and was now face to face with Voldemort. The end of her speech was met by laughter from all three men but Ginny was still staring unflinchingly at them. Annika, knowing what was goiong to happened, buried her face in her knees.

"Looks, like I'm just gonna have to teach to be afraid of me. Crucio!" Voldemort said.

The whole dungeon echoed with Ginny's screams of agony. After a few seconds, Hermione's voice was mingled with Ginny's screams,

"Stop it! Leave her alone! Please!"

"Very well!" Voldemort said and Ginny's screams stopped.

They were replaced by Hermione's within seconds. Annika couldn't take it. It was one thing when they were torturing and hurting her but it was another when they were hurting her friends.

"STOP IT! LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" she yelled finally and stood up.

"Or what? You don't even have powers anymore!" Malfoy taunted. "You're helpless."

Hermione's screams stopped because her outburst took his focus off the spell.

"Look, you've killed Harry, and you have me as the prize. Just let them go." Annika said.

"Or I don't think so." Fred said. "You see, I've been dying to get my hands on the mudblood for years and now that she's mine, I don't think I'll be letting go anytime soon."

Annika wanted to hit him but she controlled herself.

"I think they all need a lesson in respect." Malfoy commented.

"I think you're right Draco." Fred said. "But the cruciatus curse gets so boring. And I'm not in the mood for sex."

"Well, muggles were always good at inventing ways to hurt each other." Malfoy replied. "My father actually built a whole room devoted to muggle torture."

"That could be fun." Fred said.

"Will you be joining us, Master." Malfoy inquired.

"No, I trust the two of you to turn them into obidient little pets." Voldemort replied. "Besides, I have raids to plan. Just make sure the blood traitor is able to move when you finish. I think I may want to have some fun later." With that he turned and left the dungeons.

Fred waved his wand and the cell door opened. Hermione and Ginny had backed into a corner after the curse was removed and Annika placed herself in front of them.

"Let's not make this difficult." Fred said. "We'll get our way no matter what."

Annika stayed where she was in front of her friends.

"Fine." Fred said and he backhanded her.

The force was so much that she fell to the stone floor. She landed on her left side with a bruising force. Fred then stepped over her and grabbed Hermione by the wrist and Ginny by the back of the neck.

"Leave them alone!" Annika yelled and attmpted to get up but Malfoy stepped on her chest.

"No one told you to get up." he said then looked to Fred. "Take those two upstairs tell Blinky to take you to the torture chamber. I want a few minutes with my toy then I'll be up."

"Alright." Fred said as he dragged the other two out of the room.

"Now, as for you," Malfoy bent down, yanked her up by the shirt, and slammed her into the wall. She let out a gasp of pain. "You should no better than to disrespect me in front of the Dark Lord!"

"I'm sorry." she pleaded.

"Sorry, isn't good enough." Malfoy said then nipped at her neck.

"Please, not that!" she begged. "Anything but that."

"Don't worry!" Draco smirked. "I'm not in the mood either."

He released her.

"Turn around." he ordered.

Annika did as she was told not wanting to find out what would happen if she didn't. She heard him whisper a spell and suddenly her hands were chained above her head. She braced herself because she knew what was coming. It was a spell that was Malfoy second favorite form of punishment. She heard him muttered another spell and she felt like he was whipping her, only he didn't have a whip.

It was a dark spell, his father use to use on her. He taught it to Malfoy as soon as he was old enough to learn and it soon became his favorite. It was a simple but effective spell. All he had to do was say the spell then move his wand up and down as if hitting her. She instantly felt the pain of being whipped with half the effort on his part.

Annika learned a long time ago, that a reaction was what he was going for. If she didn't make a sound or give any sign that she was in pain, he would get bored and walk away. Once she got over the initial shock of him using it, she closed her eyes and imagined being with Harry, Ron, and George in the garden of the Burrow, talking and laughing. It was working until Malfoy's voice intruded.

"What? Too stupid to scream." he said as she felt another slash across her back. "I want you to beg for forgiveness."

Annika shook her head as the slashes continued across her back. She refused to let him win this. Her friends had taught her that she was stronger than giving in. Malfoy continued his punishment stronger and harder.

He began to call her things, like weak, pathetic, and worthless. His voice invaded her thoughts of her family. She began hearing every word of his reminder of what she was. Soon, she began feeling the pain of his physical punishment to. After another five minutes, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Please, stop!" she yelled. "I'm sorry I disrespected you infront of the Dark Lord. It won't happen again! Just please, stop! I'm begging you!"

A few final slashes and it was over. Malfoy walked up behind her and pressed himself against the open wounds on her back. She let out a small whimper of pain.

"It had better not happen again or it'll be worse." he whispered in her ear and gave it a little nibble. She flinched.

He said the spell that released her from the chains. She dropped to the floor from weakness.

"At least you remember where you belong." he sniggered and spat on her. "You're lucky. You held out longer than I thought you would. Which means, you're too weak to withstand the torture chamber. I'll send Blinky down to tend to your wounds. And just to make sure the message sinks in, you can go a few days without food."

She felt a sharp kick in her stomach and heard the cell door close and relock. When she was sure he was gone, she burst into to tears. She prayed her boys could somehow find a way back to her.

A/N: I hope that didn't suck. I wrote this chapter to show you what's happening with the girls, since they are still a big part of the story. I just wasn't sure where it was going when I started and I kinda let me fingers to the talking for me so I hope it was good. Review and let me know.
