A New Story

Chapter 14

'Please, please.' Severus choked out. He had been cut, thrown into a wall, been dunked into water, hung upside down, been crucioed and endured many other types of torture, he feels like he is going to break any second. It might seem like all those ways of torturing were soft compared with other types but when you go through them without having one minute of rest, you will go insane after a week. 

Severus had always been an independent and prideful man and never wanted anyone's help except for some emergencies. This time, unsurprisingly, was one of them, he wanted anyone, literally anyone to barge through the walls of the room and save him, it didn't matter who. Hell, he would even be grateful if Voldemort crashed in but despite his pleads, no help seemed to come. 

After what he thought was probably three days, he got desperate and gave up the hope of getting out of the hellhole alive. He just wished that whoever this was, does not plan to or have already harmed Harry.

Harry waited by the Floo every single moment, he hoped and hoped that an Auror would floo in with his dad and everything would be fine. But that never happened. 

One night, Harry concentrated all of his magic onto finding his dad.

Suddenly, he saw what seemed like a ghost of Severus laying on the floor in a white room being beaten, he heard everything and saw everything. He yelled, 'DAD!' 

Although, Severus was suffering tremendously and in a lot of agony, he managed to look around in what Harry thought look like fear. Then, he heard a man's cold voice, 'I will be back later for more of our fun, let me leave you a present.' and forced Severus to drink a potion. The kidnapper apparated to who knows where, but Severus did not care about that, all his mind was thinking now was, 'Did I just hear Harry?'

At first, Harry didn't know what to do, he was so relived to see Severus alive but also felt so many other emotions crash into his at the same time like confusion and fear. He called his dad again. 

'Harry, is that you? Where are you?' he choked out in pure pain.

'Dad, it's all going to be just fine, I'm gonna get you help.' he went to wake up Mr. Weasley. 

'Harry. Maybe you need a bit more sleep.' he said after Harry told him everything

'No! You have to believe me!'

'Harry.' Arthur said as softly as he could, 'Let's go and have some milk and put you back into bed.'

'I promise I just saw him right there. In the room with the white walls. Please. You got to believe me!'

Arthur was to say the least surprised with the usually calm child's outburst. He truly considered Harry's word and decided to believe him. 'Alright. Tell me more.'

'I yelled out to him and he seemed to be able to hear me and he responded.'

'How did you see him and what did it look like.'

'Ok, I was like hoping with every inch of my soul to see Dad and suddenly he appeared out of nowhere. It was like a ghost type of thing, I saw that he was in a white room.'

'A white room. Did you hear any sounds?'

'I think I heard a lot of train whistles and some church bells.'

'How many rings did you hear?'

'Twelve.'

'I think I already know where you father is.'

'Really?! We have got to get there quickly.'

'I am going to contact the Aurors and you are staying here. We cannot risk you getting hurt.'

Harry knew that he would be able to sneak out with Arthur later under the Invisibility Cloak so he didn't argue further. 

He pretended to go back up to sleep but instead he got his Cloak and hid on the stairs. Once all the Aurors responsible for finding Severus were at the Burrow, he listened carefully. 

'I know where he is.' Arthur told the lead Auror.

'How?'

He quickly explained everything to him and said, 'He's at the Burke House.'

Then they all apparated but little did they know, Harry was clinging onto an Auror's robe for dear life. It was lucky he didn't get splinched.  

They were at the front of the house. 

'Clark, Edwards, Samson, you go to the back door and prevent anyone from escaping, me and the rest of the team will go into the house. There are probably anti-apparation spells on the house so we need to get Severus go of the house first before trying to apparated.'

Everyone except Harry nodded and the three people moved to the back door.

This chapter feels like something that came out of a cow's behind. I just didn't know what the hell to write. Sorry.
