Ace's pov

I must've been in the library looking for answers all day with Langdon, searching the school ground left and right. Even the forbidden forest has no clues, it was like he was never here. I was giving up hope as it had been almost 3 months since his dissapearence. Me and Langdon have spent every moment of free time we have, searching, discovering, and failing. No trace....nothing. I thought we would never find him until i got an letter.

Aphrodice,

So long have i longed to meet you my dear child,
i think it is time we meet. You must have many
questions, come to the Astronomy Tower this
evening at 8 sharp. And if i were you, i wouldn't
dare to be late, you know what i am campable
of.

Shit. Voldemort. Does he have Mattheo? Why does he want to see me?  What does he want with me? I needed to find Langdon, and fast. I rush to the dorms and bang on the door, i noticed it was unlocked, so i let myself in. I pace the room staring at the note but i hear Langdon,

"Morning." He winks, i look up to see him completly naked, he had just come out of the shower. I moaned in discust, and slapped my hand over my eyes, but i already got a glimpse.

"You know you should knock"

"Um i did genius." I groan as i throw him a towel. I slowly open my eyes to see him wrap it around his torso.

"Look what i got this morning." I say holding out the letter. He snatched it from my hands and reads it.

"Shit, you can't go."

"What the hell do you mean i can't go?! What if he has Mattheo? I can't pass this up!"

"And what if he just wants to kill you? No, not happening."

"I can handle myself, and i have proven myself MULTIPLE times so i'm going."

"Aphrodice-"

"Langdon, i'm going, here i made these last night." I said pulling out two braclets with a little jem on them one black and the other dark green. "When you and i are in trouble, press the jem in the middle of the bracklet and all you have to do is use a locator spell and the braclet will lead you to me." I explain handing him the braclet. He put it on and looked at it.

"Cute." He mocks.

I rolled my eyes in responce.

Later that evening...

"Okay, ready?" I ask.

"Ready to just give you up to my father? Sure never been more ready" Langdon sarcastically remarks.

I slowly walk up the staris to find a half cirlce of death eaters.

"Good you showed" One spat.

"We don't want to keep the Dark Lord waiting, come on then." Another snapped, taking my arm and pulling me into the middle of the half circle, they all made a circle around me and everything went black.

I woke up to find myself in a big chair, i was strapped to it, my arms, hands, stomach, thighs, legs, and feet. There was no way out for me. I look up and let my eyes adjust to what's around me, it was dark, barley any light. I see someone come out into the dim light. Voldemort.

"Well well well, finally i meet the girl who has my sons falling at their knees for you..." He hisses.

"What are you t-alking about?" I struggle.

"Why my dear, they are in love with you"

My stomach turned, my thoughts were spinning, the only thing i managed to get out was, "What do you want with me?"
