"Pansy. Blaise. Have you seen Evangeline? I saw her in Hogsmeade but she has not returned. It is nearly curfew," Draco asked.
"Sorry, Draco."
He asked several other Slytherins before checking the library. She would sometimes forget about the time and study through dinner but she was not where she normally sat. There was only one other thing he could think of. He hunted down his boyfriend.
"Oi, Potter. No Weasley or Granger?"
Harry was walking with Luna and Neville. His best friends were alone in the common room snogging. Harry assured his friends he would be fine and went over to Draco. Luna and Neville left the two and Draco dragged his boyfriend down the hallway to an alcove.
"Draco, what is it?"
"No one saw Evangeline come back from Hogsmeade. I checked the library but she is not there. I do not know where else she would have gone to."
"I have a way of checking the school but if she is not here, I do not know of a way to find her."
Out of his bag, Harry pulled an old piece of parchment. He had been meaning to tell Draco about the Map and now was an opportune time.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
The parchment came alive and the entire grounds of Hogwarts appeared. Draco looked closer and saw dots identifying each person within the school.
"This is how I have managed to meet you without getting caught. It shows everyone on the grounds of Hogwarts. Before he died, Sirius taught me a spell to locate someone on the Map without searching the entire thing. Locus Evangeline Downes!"
Normally when the spell worked, it would enlarge the area of where the person was and singled them out. When Harry cast the spell, nothing happened.
"That means she is not here. Harry, where is my sister?"
"I do not know, Draco. I do not know."
As I laid there in debilitating pain, I did not blame Dolohov entirely. I blamed myself for getting careless and lazy. While back at school I believed he would not be able to get to me, clearly I was wrong.
At first I tried to keep track of the days I was gone but the intermittent unconsciousness hindered in my counting. When he stared to move us from one place to another, I kept track of that. We were at our 5th location and he shocked me for the first time. He was allowing me to take an actual bath rather than the cleaning spells he normally did. I was thankful for the bath except that he stayed to watch.
I lounged in the hot water trying to loosen my muscles from being tied to the bed or in manacles against the wall. He began leaving me on the bed more after I dislocated my shoulder twice from the convulsions of the Cruciatus curse against the stone wall..
A meal was waiting for me next to the bed when I finally got out of the water. I tried to eat but my stomach would not allow it. I kept my head down as I tried to eat to ignore the looks that he was giving me. He would not allow me to dress, the only thing I had on was the necklace the Dark Lord gave me. He tried on the first day to remove it but it must have a sticking charm on the clasp for it would not come off.
"You look like her," he said.
It was the first time he talked to me, not casting spells at me. My head lifted briefly to see him standing a foot away.
"You do have Malfoy traits but I can spot the Dolohov traits as well. How is my dear sister? Clearly alive and free," he snarled.
I clasped my hands in my lap and waited. He always brought out the knives after I ate.
"Maybe she should be reminded that no one leaves me," he mused.
He advanced and pulled out his wand. He sent a blasting curse at my left knee and then my shoulder. Next he sliced several deep wounds into my thighs, stomach, and chest. I did not cry out once. Dolohov turned me over and whipped my back half a dozen times.
"Perfect."
The flash surprised me as he took photos of me. He even sliced me open again as he snapped another so it would play out in the wizarding photo.
"Drink this. I will heal you when I get back."
The potion he had me drink was one that would slow the bleeding but not close the wounds. He did not want me to bleed to death but liked to leave me unhealed as long as possible.
He leaned over and licked the blood dripping from a cut on my arm. I wanted to shudder but could not. He would only enjoy it more. Dolohov left the room and I tried to get comfortable. The whip marks would have kept me from lying down but with my knee and shoulder, it was the only position I could lie in.
Even with the potion, the blanket under me became saturated with my blood. The pain was constant and throbbed with each heartbeat. The ding dong of a distant clock signaled 5 o'clock. With no windows, I did not know if it was A.M. or P.M. It might be a good thing of not knowing how long I have been missing but I was beginning to miss the interaction with other people who did not rape and torture me.
"Merlin, help me," I whispered before black took over my vision.
