The Manor was clean, and very, very beautiful. About ten chandeliers hung from the astonishing roof, which had lively paintings on them. The checkerboard floor matched the theme of the pillared gardens and the suit worn by none other then Lucius Malfoyhimself.
"Boys, back so soon?" A low voice asked. Draco still had Hermione wrapped in his large, musculararms, her arms tucked in on his chest. "Yes Lucius" Vincent said, and Hermione instantly knew that she was in danger. "Good to see you've managed to
captureall three of them" Hermione could hear Lucius Malfoy moving closer, his steps perpetuous. "Mr Potter, the Weasley, and the mudblood" Lucius continued. "Such a pleasure you are joining us. Take them down to the chamber." At this time Draco
looked down at Hermione,and Hermione looked back up at him. They blinked and Vincent grabbedHermione by the arm forcefully. "Well Malfoy, up to bed now, I'll take her down." Before Draco could reply, Vincent put a hand to Hermione's hip, andset
off to the dungeon.
Once Vincent pulled Hermione down into the dungeon, Ron and Harry were already getting chained to two of three slender poles. Hermione was shortly tied to the pole furthest from the door, next to Ron, who was strategically placed in the middle. "So" Vincentsaid.
"For, somewhat, forever, you'll be down here, getting - what's the word; oh - tortued, until Lord Voldermort can return to full power, which will most likely be awhile." He continued pulling an ugly half smile. "Who to start with, whoto start
with... Oh! The mudblood!" He walked toward Hermione and put his hands on her waist, and began,to somewhat, examine her. You know, my mother was a mudblood. I killed her in my fifth year at Hogwarts. So this should be plenty of fun."Hesmiled,
and raised his wand. "CRUCIO!" A soaring pain spread across Hermione likeshe was about to split in half. Her blood burnt and sizzled. "STOP!" Hermione screamed "PLEASE!" She pleaded,but he did not. "CUT IT OUT,STOP HURTING HER!"Ron yelled
at Vincent. If Ron were not suspended in the air and had is wand, Vincent would probably be dead. "You like the mudblood do you?" Vincent questioned Ron. "Don't hurt her" Ron repeated. "Fine then" Vincent said. Hermione was bleedingall over,
and was badly hurt. "I'll hurt you - CRUCIO!" Ron was being tortued as well, and it was, as Hermione thought partly her fault. And this, Hermione, Harry, And Ron were tortued until they lost consciousness, until Draco walked down thestairs.
