Round 2(Song)

My song is:

If I Lose Myself by One Republic

Alice Longbottom's POV

I know they are coming and I know they are coming soon. We have a short amount of time to get Neville somewhere safe. Then we will just see what happens next. They want information on the Potter's whereabouts but, they won't be getting any. To be honest I have no idea where they are hiding. However I know who their secret keeper is. The Death Eaters are ruthless and they know Frank and I will not be easy to get information from. Frank is at my mother's with Neville but, he should be home soon. We had to take our son somewhere he would be cared for because we don't know if we will make it through the night.

Frank's POV

I have been home for no longer than half an hour but, no one has come yet. All of a sudden I hear a crack outside then a bang on the door. They are here and now the fight begins.

Walking into our sitting room I see three Death Eaters: Rabastian, Rodolphus, and Bellatrix Lestrange and accompanying them was Bartemius Crouch Jr, (didn't know he was a Death Eater.) I now fear for my wife and I's lives. Even though I already knew we would most likely not make it out of this alive. I turn around and head to the bedroom where I told Alice to wait. I got out of the room without them seeing me so I could have time to warn Alice.

I ran to the bedroom, "Alice they are here we have to try and stay strong. Come on there is no use hiding it will make matters worse for us. Act like there is nothing to hide but, it's not like they'll believe us."

We made our way down the steps but, we were stopped at the bottom with wands pointed at us from all directions.

"Where are they hiding?" asked Crouch.

"We don't know," replied Alice with hatred clear in her voice. I took her hand rubbing circles on the back of it to try and calm her down. We didn't want to give them a reason to kill us; even though these people don't have reasons for anything that they do.

"You think we believe you. We will ask again, where are the Potters hiding?" it was now Bellatrix who spoke.

I tried to clamp my hand over Alice's mouth because I knew she would say something out of line but, she pulled away from me and walked right up to Bellatrix. " We don't know a thing about where they are hiding. Even if we knew we wouldn't tell you. So why don't you go back to your master with the bad news."

I knew what was going to happen so I took hold of Alice's hand and shoved her behind me. "Crucio," I heard one of them shout. The worst pain I've ever felt. It takes all the strength I have not to scream out. However, I know I did the right thing. I couldn't let Alice get hurt. If anything happened to her I know I would lose myself. Little did I know that stepping infront of Alice wouldn't sstop her from getting hurt.

They used that wretched curse so many times on me that I lost count. I saw Alice out of the corner of my eye being held down by Rodolphus. She was in tears and it killed me to see her like that. The next thing I see is blackness. I can't see anything but, the worst part is that I can still feel pain and hear everything going on. It must be a spell. For a second I thought I was fortunate enough to pass out. I felt the pain of the curse hit again but, this time I couldn't keep the scream in. Why don't they understand I won't tell them what they want? They should just kill me and get it over with.

Alice's POV

I'm in hysterics. I can't stop crying. My whole world is falling apart. I can't even help my husband. I am being forced to watch while they torture him. They put some spell on him but, I don't know what it did. They keep using the Cruciatus Curse on him and he is finally starting to scream. How can they enjoy the feeling of putting others through pain? This makes me sick watching them. When they stop he still has that unknown spell on him. Bellatrix walks over his body but, makes sure to step on him on her way over towards where I am being held captive. Rodolphus let me go and they tied me up.

"You're such a bitch!  Why the hell are you doing this?" I make sure to spit in her face.

I feel I smack across my cheek and she gets closer. "Well, we know by now that you really don't know where the Potter's are hiding. However, our master has sent us a message. He has found them and they will be dead very soon. He said we may do whatever we like to you. So, let's have some fun shall we?" she said the last sentence turning to her companions.

I felt the curse on myself next. However, it wasn't just the one. I saw all four of their wands pointed at me. The pain was unbearable and I guess I passed out right away. I don't remember anything until a little later.

"Renerverate," says one of the Death Eaters though I'm not sure which one. I find myself waking up from the dark. I don't know how long I've been out but, they have Frank right next to me. They use the same spell on him so, I guess he passed out shortly after I did.

I could feel myself losing my memory and I knew we were both most likely going crazy. I turn to talk to him, "If I lose myself tonight it will be by your side. I won't leave you but, we might not remember much, if anything about eachother." Suddenly I thought of a little boy but, I couldn't remember his name. I knew I had seen him before I just don't know where. We haven't been around anyone but eachother for-

My thoughts were interrupted. "Crucio," screamed all the Death Eaters at once. The pain was unbearable and I screamed at the top of my lungs. After that I went back into the now familiar world of darkness.

A/N: Without the author's note I have 1.099 words. I know that the real reason they were tortured was because the Death Eaters wanted to find the whereabouts of their fallen master. I changed that a little because I forgot what they were tortured for. When I remembered it was already mostly typed so I didn't want to change it. Anyway, it is a fanfiction so it is aloud to be changed a little.
