Only Dreaming

Only Dreaming

It was a dream. He knew it had to be. Because there he stood, nearly ten feet from his enemy and there were no curses being shouted.

"Harry," the man hissed. "I can bring them back."

He couldn't even think; his mind was going blank. Them, come back? Not possible, he had thought, until he found himself standing in front of Voldemort with his wand lying far far away back in his dormitory. There was no way to bring them back. He had spent hours begging it of Dumbledore.

He had begged with tears filling his eyes to the brim and pouring down his cheeks. But Dumbledore had merely stood mute with regret that he could not bring Harry's best friends back.

As he stared up at the full moon, he thought back to that faithful day when his entire life course was permanently changed.

It had been a Tuesday. It was mid-war and Death Eaters had taken the school. All the professors were in the dungeons with stronger spells guarding them than they even knew existed. A few select dangerous students had been locked in artificial cells created in the Charms classroom.

Harry was locked in his own cell. The cell to his right was occupied by Draco and Hermione. The cell on his left held Ron and Ginny. Other cells in the room held Neville, Fred, George, Cho, Padma, Parvati, Dennis, Colin, and many more.

Crabbe and Goyle guarded them. Ginny lay sobbing in Ron's arms. Hermione sat in the corner of her cell with her legs tucked close to her chest as Draco tried to comfort her the best he could.

Harry couldn't believe the turmoil that lurked in that room and spread like wildfire through everyone. They hadn't been given food in two days and Ginny had been--

"Harry," the man hissed again, drawing him from his thoughts. "I can bring them back. Say the words."

Harry stared into the cold red eyes. It wasn't possible. He knew it wasn't. He tried to fade back into his thoughts but the man drew him back again.

"Harry..."

"Harry!"

It was a scream that had ripped him from his shallow sleep. He had finally drifted to sleep after all the others had, but was torn from it at the sound of the youngest Weasley screaming his name.

"...I can bring them back. They aren't gone forever..."

"HARRY!" She screamed it again and by that time he was already at the edge of his cell, begging with their captors to let him out.

"Ginny!" he screamed at her and then he turned to Crabbe. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER?!"

"Master Lucius has requested her presence in his offices."

"NO! Take me with her! PLEASE!"

Crabbe spat at Harry and then moved to the cell holding Draco and Hermione.

"Malfoy," he hissed as he banged against the bars. "Time to visit Daddy."

Malfoy opened his eyes, and before he could even comprehend the words that had been spoken to him, there were two Death Eaters standing in his cell, waiting with raised wands if he refused.

"...Just say the words to me Harry. Say you accept. Join our side and I will teach you the art. I will teach you to bring them back..."

"NO!" Harry screamed until his lungs were sore. "LET THEM GO! TAKE ME INSTEAD!"

But the Charms door suddenly banged open and there stood the devil himself, wearing a velvet soft black suite with a large black cloak over it. A red tie was placed nicely near his collar and he carried a black cane with a snake's head.

"Stop your fussing," he commanded coldly as he took a step forward and everyone awake nearly flinched in fear. "You're causing an unnecessary ruckus among my staff."

"Why are you taking them?" Harry screamed at Lucius.

"Interrogation."

"No..."

"Yes, Harry."

"Do it. Say the words and you'll learn the art. Bring them back yourself..."

"Yes..."

"You'll join me then?"

"No," he begged. "Anything that they would know, I would know. Please. No."

Lucius turned to Crabbe. "Bring him with then."

Before Harry could even understand that Lucius had accepted his plea, Crabbe's vice-like grip held his upper arms and was forcing him painfully from his cell.

"No..."

"Then I'll just send you back to that old dolt Dumbledore. What an idiot he is, holding out on someone as powerful as you."

"What?"

"Yes, Potter. Dumbledore knows the secrets. He could perfectly well bring back all those lost. But he does not. He is holding out on you, young Harry."

His head smacked against the brick wall before he knew what had even happened. His arms were quickly shackled to the wall as his ankles were treated the same.

"Bring the girl to me," Lucius ordered Goyle and Ginny was flung forward towards Lucius. She tripped as Goyle let go of her and put out her hands towards the ground to catch her fall, but Lucius had scooped her up quickly before she hit the floor.

"Hello Ginny darling," he hissed, his breath warm on her face. She pushed away from him, but he, in turn, allowed her body to drop to the floor as he pounced on her.

"Ginny!" Harry screamed.

Ginny's shirt was quickly ripped open and he suckled at her breasts like a starving animal. She screamed as she pushed and him and struggled to escape. He took both her tiny wrists in one of his enormous paw-like hands and held them above her head as she kicked and thrashed. Tears began to pour down her face as he ripped her pants down a couple inches to slip his hand inside.

"No!" she squeeled as he gained entrance to her most private parts. His body almost immediately froze and she stared up at him in shock.

"Tell me, where is Dumbledore?"

She was terror stricken. "I don't know! Haven't you questioned everyone on this? We do not know where he hid! I don't know."

He pulled his hand quickly from her pants and flipped her over. She was numb with fear for about 20 seconds as he pulled her pants down over her backside and stroked the silky soft flesh there. But she soon jumped into action.

"No!" she screamed as she kicked out at him harder than ever. "No! I don't know! Let me go. Please! I DON'T KNOW!"

"LUCIUS!" Harry boomed. "Let her go!"

But it was too late. Lucius had mounted Ginny roughly and began to ride her pale fragile body. She screamed out in pain and horror.

"NO!" It was Draco's voice which boomed this time and Lucius almost paused to stare up at him with a menacing smile spread across his face. "She doesn't know anything, Father! Let her go."

"You dare defy me, son, after I spared your life when I could have let our Lord kill you along with the rest?"

Draco spit at his father from across the room. Lucius withdrew from Ginny with a disgustingly odd squelching noise and she screamed in surprise and possibly pain.

Lucius turned to Goyle. "You may use her how you wish."

Goyle rubbed his hands together in delight and moved in towards Ginny. Harry's vision almost went black as Lucius stood from Ginny and moved towards Draco as he wrapped his cloak about his body.

"You dare defy me when I spared you of all the pain and torture that our Lord had waiting for you?"

Draco spat again at Lucius from the spot where he was chained to the wall.

"Oh, no, that will not do, my son. It's time to learn some respect," he said quietly. With a flick of his wand, Lucius released Draco. But no sooner had Draco gained his freedom then an invisible force pulled his arms behind his back and snaked a chain around his wrists.

"Where is Dumbledore then?"

"We do not know. No one ever informed us of his escape or hiding place."

Lucius kicked Draco's legs out from beneath him and he fell to the ground on his stomach. He let out a small yell invoulentarily as his body hit the ground, but he was soon silenced with the fear as his father loomed above him.

He was breathless.

"No," he managed to choke out. "No. Not Dumbledore."

"Yes, Dumbledore. Always Dumbledore. If you return to them and fight against me then the only hope you have of getting your friends back is lost."

"No..."

"Yes."

"Leave them alone Lucius! Leave them be! They know nothing!"

"Where is Dumbledore?" Lucius asked Draco again as he knelt down beside him.

"I don't know," Draco said softly, almost sadly.

Lucius sighed and looked away as if he could not stand to see the disgrace to his family. Suddenly, he turned to Draco and backhanded him.

"Tell me where that old fool is!"

"We don't know!"

Lucius ripped Draco to his feet and shoved him towards the wall. Draco's head banged excruciatingly loud as Lucius pushed him.

"Ahh," Draco moaned as his head cracked opened and blood started down his face. Lucius ignored his son's pain and turned him over against the wall so that his stomach was pressed firmly, almost painfully, against the wall as Lucius crushed him.

"I'll show you true discomfort, my son, if you will not disclose the location of Dumbledore," he threatened as he reached his hand around to unbutton Draco's pants. Harry stared in horror as Lucius looked over at him with an odd glint in his eye. As if on cue, Lucius spoke.

"You'll be next," Lucius taunted. "And I assure you that I will enjoy it."

Lucius quickly removed Draco's clothes from the waist down with a few fluid motions. He stared down at the pale young body crushed beneath his own and shivered with anticipation.

Suddenly, Ginny screamed from the other end of the room and Draco snapped back into motion. He thrashed against his father and blood poured down his head, drenching his blonde hair.

"We don't know where Dumbledore is! Leave her alone! Leave her--"

Draco was suddenly silenced as his father pulled him a few inches from the wall and smashed him back into place.

"Join me and your friends can be brought back."

"But...Lucius."

"You will be my right hand man. You may punish him."

"Yes..." His mind almost faded with joy and anticipation.

"So you'll join me?"

"Yes."

"Good. Give me your arm."

"No!" Harry screamed out as Draco was slammed up against the wall like a ragdoll. It clearly hurt Draco and he almost lost conciousness, but he hung onto it like a small scrap of fabric.

Lucius trailed his fingers along Draco's spine causing him to shiver and Lucius nipped at Draco's shoulder. Lucius's hand disappeared between their bodies and Harry almost questioned what he was doing until Draco let out a harsh gasp and attempted to pull away again almost frantically.

"Shh. Stay still," Lucius breathed in Draco's ear loud enough for Harry to hear. "Stay still and it will be all the more easier if you refuse to tell me what I want to hear."

Draco's breathing slowed to an almost calm rate again but he immediately started panting as Lucius's hand dipped down between their bodies again.

"No," Draco moaned out as he squirmed around in his father's grip. "No, please."

Draco's hips suddenly bucked into his father's grip at an attempt to push him away but it only resulted in a cold hand coming down sharply upon his neck and mashing his face agaisnt the wall.

"I told you to stay still. Now stop moving. This will hurt as much as you allow it to."

"Noooo," Draco pleaded as a hand slid between his body and his father's again. "Stop." His body twitched away as he begged and pleaded of his father.

"Tell me where Dumbledore is and this will end."

"I don't know."

"Don't lie to me."

"I don't know!"

Harry stared at Voldemort for a moment.

"...for the Dark Mark," Voldemort finished.

Harry's opposite hand suddenly shot up to his forearm and rubbed it protectively.

"Pledge yourself to me."

"I don't know..."

"Do it and you'll be ruinited with your friends once more."

"STOP THIS! LUCIUS! LET THEM GO! THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!"

Harry screamed himself hoarse in his rage. Ginny squealed from across the room at an uncontrollable volume and Harry almost broke through the chains binding him when he saw Goyle wrapped his thick hands around Ginny's neck to silence her. This only proved worse when she kicked and struggled against the new restraints.

"STOP HIM!" Harry screamed at Lucius. "HE'S KILLING HER!"

"Goyle, do let go of her neck," Lucius said calmly as he turned to Goyle. Draco thought this was the appropriate time to move away, but his father only held him more closely against the wall. "I would much rather not clean up the mess she would leave behind."

Goyle's reaction time was about a full ten seconds slower than most and by that time, Ginny had stopped screaming. In fact, she had stopped moving altogether.

"Uhhh Master Malfoy?"

"Do not tell me you have killed her."

"She's not moving..."

"Bloody hell, Goyle, can you do nothing right?"

"Uh..."

"Well clean her up!"

Harry held out his arm unsteadily and closed his eyes.

"Look at me."

Harry stared down at the creature in front of him, barely man, barely anything else. He could barely swallow past the constriction in his throat and his hands became fists. Focusing on his breathing was the only thing he could do to avoid the inevitable pain and fear of the Dark Mark.

"Do you pledge yourself to the Dark Lord?"

"I do, Master."

"Do you vow to follow every order given out to you?"

"I do, Master."

"Do you vow to keep silent in your place unless told to?"

"I do, Master."

"Then you are mine," Voldemort said quietly as he placed his hand on Harry's forearm.

He didn't feel anything at first, but then all of the sudden, his arm burst into a blistering pain. It seemed his bones would shatter under the heated pressure. He felt himself fall to his knees and didn't even notice when he opened his eyes and Voldemort's hand was no longer on him.

"You are mine," Voldemort repeated.

"NO!" Harry screamed. "DON'T TOUCH HER! LET ME GO! I'LL DO IT MYSELF!"

Lucius ignored his pleas as he turned back to the pale body beneath him.

"Don't move an inch," he whispered sweetly as he kicked open Draco's legs and dropped his trousers. The cloak sheilding Lucius's body moved threateningly and Draco screamed out in hoarse pain and terror.

"STOP!"

"I am yours," Harry murmured as he stood to his feet and brushed Voldemort away from him. "Now bring them back."

"Change of plan," Voldemort commented casually before he raised his wand and green light erupted from the end.

Lucius fucked Draco hard and fast for the next few minutes.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Lucius asked once more as he withdrew from Draco's body and allowed him to drop to the floor.

"I don't know...," he responded with a fresh gasp of breath.

"You disgust me, son," Lucius said as he withdrew his wand.

"Avada Kedrava!"

"Avada Kedrava!"

And it was over.
