Day 235

My aunt threw me to the dungeon again before slamming the door behind her with pure anger, it was another day that she used the crucio curse on me, trying to force me to tell her where the other members of the order were hiding. I didn't tell her anything, not a single word left my mouth. I was just looking at the ground with tears in my eyes, not saying a word to her.

Being locked in here felt like losing my mind sometimes. I stopped talking to everyone and would lie down on the floor and pretend to sleep for the entire day because my mind would be the only place I would find comfort. I felt safe in all the fake scenarios my mind could make, and it made me feel like Percy was indeed there with me, giving me hope that one day I would see him again. Even though, as the days passed, I started losing hope that it would ever happen.

I felt like Helen of Troy but in the version of Euripides. In that particular story, Helen wasn't in Troy, but she was in Egypt living with the king after the gods sent her there. She was living with the hope that one day her love Menelaus would go and look for her after he realizes that the Helen that was in Troy wasn't actually her, but a phantom that Athena had made with air. The only difference we had was that she wasn't locked and suffering in a dungeon, but I was. Those two got their happy ending and I wondered if I would get it too.

It was night outside and everyone else had fallen asleep except me. I sat on the ground before taking the communication bracelet from my jacket pocket and looking at it. After the last time I had used it, it had stopped working but every night before falling asleep, I would check to see if it was working again but until now I had no luck. I pressed the heart chain with nothing else but hope building inside me, but like always nothing happened. I closed my eyes and sighed thinking about giving up before suddenly the chain lightened up. A smile formed on my face before calling Percy's name. But like always I got no answer back

Y/n: If you can hear me, all I want to say is that if I don't make it out of here alive and never get the chance to actually say goodbye, all I want you to know is that you meant everything to me. Even though it took me a while to realise it to say the truth I always loved the silly remarks we would exchange in school. I loved when we could play chess in the great hall and the notes we could give each other in class. But what I loved the most was you, and thank you for giving me have a reason to wake up in the morning during the times when I just wanted to disappear. Goodbye ginger

I said before the light turned off, and I rested my head on the wall with tears rolling down my eyes. I looked at the moon from the tiny window on the other side of the room and closed my eyes to prevent more tears from escaping, reminding myself that all I had to do was remain strong.

Day 268

The Malfoys entered the room in a hurry and confusion because they were informed that the snatchers had supposedly found Harry Potter in the woods and just needed someone to confirm it for them. When they entered, Bellatrix was holding Harry's hair and shoving her wand at his jawline waiting for an answer from her nephew who even though he knew that it was him, didn't say anything to them.

Bellatrix: Well?

She asked excitedly waiting for Draco to say that it was indeed him but all he did was nod negatively and pretend he was confused about the boy's identity

Draco: I can't be sure

He said, and his father walked up to him. He grabbed his neck aggressively before he whispered to him, but loud enough for everyone in the room to hear 

Lucius: Draco listen...if we are the ones to hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything will be forgiven, we all be as it was and Y/n will come back home
