Light in the darkness

11: Taken Again

'Albus'! he awoke with a start, jolting up right, noticing the pain in his neck was still there. Everyone was around him, even Lily and James. 'Where are we? '
'We found you, well don't quite know how to describe it, round the back of Honeydukes or something'
'Ron your alright' and sure enough Ron was perfectly fine, all the cuts had cleared up now.
'As a matter of fact I am, and you're completely right it was a damn bird' he said slightly grinning. 'Anyway what's this I hear'
'What? '
'According to mum and dad, you're dating my little brother, and you go on to lose him somewhere?, I mean who does that' James asked rudely.
'James it's not his fault, I don't think he lost our bother on purpose' Lily retorted 'did you because if so we will have problems' She muttered to Scorpius with a grin, knowing full well he didn't.
'No, no of course not'
'Yeah we had to tell them, first I was against the idea' His dad said, pulling his hair into a ponytail, his dad's usual hairstyle.
'oh...' Scorpius was in shock as he suddenly remembered something that he'd heard. 'the voices they said - we've got an hour, how long was I out for'
'Bout 10 minutes' Ron said casting a glance at his wife who'd only just entered.
'That means we only have, we'll, to my calculations, about 50 minutes, what was it for?' Ginny said.
'I think to get to Al.. We've only got an hour' he started to cry, wet tears flowed down his cheeks. Draco went to hug him, he took the hug gladly.
'Scorpius, we're not gonna lose him, I promise. '
'He already said that dad, but I can't... Do that again'
'I know' They hung there for a while.

He started to shake again. Draco let go feeling his son shake, 10mins had past, 40 minutes left. 'She's... Got him... For definite... Al... Al.. ALBUS! ' He screamed, pulling a pillow over his head. 'No... No... No'.
'What is it? Scorpius? ' Hermione asked walking over and putting a hand on his shoulder to console him, but it didn't work. Thought is gasps he whimpered 'my nightmares, they... Included him being tortured she's torturing him... ' he cried.
'We have to do something' muttered Harry, gesturing to Ron, Hermione, James and Lily. Draco was left alone with his son, who was in utter misery.
