Lost: Dramione Story

Chapter 29: And I Was Gone.....

"where is he?" I swallowed, I tried to keep my eyes on him. I had never felt fear like this. Felt as weak or helpless. Why had I come alone? Why had I been so stupid?

"straight to business then" his voice was like a snake, it slithered across the floor and made its way to my throat closing it up tighter.

"where is he?" I could've spat at him, that would've been too kind.

"you've grown quite attached to my son" he muttered, twirling a black wand in his fingers "and you can have him, but first I have some questions and to take something from you that belongs to me"

"how could my memories possibly belong to you?" I snapped

"I'm the one asking the questions my dear", my skin crawled.

"I want proof, that he's a live, I want to see him before I do anything for you" I gritted my teeth, keeping both eyes on that wand.

"very well", Lucius waved the wand and Draco appeared levitating, his eyes closed, his face destroyed. He had beaten him within and inch of his life. Evidence of curses all of his body. He looked like he was gone, dead. my heart stopped, i thought i might drop dead myself in that second.

"what did you do to him" I raised my wand, it quickly flew out of my hand.

"now, now, be sensible, you know what I want, give it to me", I was beginning to panic, I had no way of overcoming him.

"are you such loathsome cockroach that you must prove to whole world that you were loyal over her, she's dead, she's gone and he is too" I yelled.

"I could've killed Harry Potter, there and then, she ruined it"

"no, you were a coward and you let us go" I cried " you let us walk out of her and then you let her take charge because you were scared of her, she had so much power of you"

"interesting that you cannot utter her name" he hissed.

"that name has no power over me" I muttered.

"fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself" my twelve year old voice filled the room.

"stop it" I cried; the voice got louder in my mind. "stop"

"who failed him, who failed the Dark Lord" Lucius screamed, he was over me, I dropped to the floor a pain beginning in my head. No, no, no, no. "Crucio". I screamed and screamed. It hurt, beyond what had happened the last time I lay in that position. My arm burned as he used magic to open the wound once more.

"please" I sobbed "please"

"begging" he laughed "good"

"take it, just take it" the pain subsided.

"giving up so soon?" he crooned.

"take it and it will kill me" I begged "take it and show the world how powerful you are and start another war but kill me". Tears rolled down my face, "I don't want to live to see any more of this". Lucius waved his wand once more and Draco's eyes snapped open. I couldn't look at him as he called my name, as he screamed for me. I lay much like I had that day. Wanting to die, wanting the pain and the grief and the emptiness to cease to exist. I wanted to die. "Draco, I think you should see me take this from her"

"you can't" Draco screamed "if you take that she'll die, if you torture that from her she'll die"

"she asked for it, Draco" Lucius crooned "she begged me to kill her". Draco struggled against the spell holding him in the air. I couldn't move. My eyes flicked open and closed, the pain riddled my body, everything hurt, like my blood was on fire. All I wanted to do was drift away and sleep. Draco screamed for me, begging me to stay awake. Lucius laughed. In that moment I wanted it, I wanted to die, i wanted to see no more pain.

"Hermione" Draco called, "Hermione"

"she can't hear you". My eyes closed and I was gone.
