Rose POV

I woke up that morning in my usual manner, get a wand light shined in your face, get dragged away from your screaming boyfriend, get tortured until you pass out, wake up in your boyfriend's arms, sing for a bit, count the bricks in the wall, get tortured again, you know. 

Well, Scorpius and I were singing a duet when we heard something upstairs that sounded like our parent's voices. A sudden spark of hope lit me aflame. 

"Scorpius! Do you hear that?" I asked in a hushed whisper. "Could they be... up there?" He asked. Delphi came to the door and we froze, our heartbeats and her footsteps being the only things we heard. Delphi grabbed both of us and took us upstairs, dropping us in front of the fireplace, where our parents faces were. 

"ROSE!!!!" My mum said, and she burst into tears. My dad was glaring at Delphi, I could almost tell how red his face must be. Draco looked relieved and terrified at the same time, and we both gave them apologetic looks. Delphi smirked and dragged Scorpius back down the stairs, leaving me. 

"Now..." Delphi said. "Ron, Hermione, I have been trying to loosen your stubborn, stupid daughter's tongue for quite some time, and not once has she given anything up."

"What do you mean by, 'loosening her tongue?'" My dad asked through gritted teeth. 

"Why, the cruciatus curse, of course." 

My mother cried harder than she was and my dad looked even more angry, if that was even possible. 

"I was wondering if you could tell her to just tell me. You don't want your baby getting tortured anymore, do you?" 

My mum kept crying, and soon I cried with her. I wanted to go home to my mum, just be in her arms again and hear her voice in my ear, telling me it was all okay. But that wasn't the situation, and Delphi seemed to be happy about that. "Crucio" she mumbled, and the pain hit me again. 

I screamed, and my mother screamed for her to stop. Scorpius was screaming my name from the downstairs again and again. "ROSE!!! ROSE!!! ROSE!!!! ROSE!!!!" My dad was yelling for her to stop and making death threats through the fireplace. I blacked out after a while, and I woke up again in Scorpius's arms. 

"I love you." I said as soon as I woke up. He cried. 

I was tortured one other time that day, and I fell asleep in his arms.
