Draco Malfoy was currently in standing in a warehouse, feeling pretty good about himself. He always knew he was destined for greatness, he was a Malfoy after all. There were many other death eaters in the same warehouse, including his father who looked at him with pride.
He had successfully completed his first mission, the kidnapping of Daphne Greengrass. His father and the dark lord thought that he wasn't ready for it, thought that he should be of age. But thankfully the dark lord's son had intervened, he told them that Malfoy was more than old enough to succeed and he was right. Draco had completed the mission.
It was rather easy, all Draco did was follow Greengrass and her friends one day when they were taking a walk. He waited until they were outside the castle, he had Crabbe and Goyle distract them, those two had uses occasionally. Once the girls had dealt with those two, he managed to sneak up behind them and grab that half-blood, Tracy Davis. He pointed his wand to her throat and told Greengrass that if she valued the little blood traitors life then she had better take the portkey he tossed her and walk out of the Hogwarts wards.
Predictably she did as he said, he shoved the Davis girl away and escaped outside of the wards before portkeying away. That's how he was here right now, standing in front of Greengrass who was tied to a chair.
Admittedly he'd probably not be able to get back into Hogwarts now but who cares, soon the dark lord would control everything and he'd let Draco back in if he decided to do so. Maybe the dark lord would even let him join the inner circle.
His thoughts came on to the traitor that was tied up in the chair next to Greengrass, he had no sympathies for her. She had made her choice and she chose wrong. Why she would chose to help Potter of all people when she could have served the dark lord? She deserved everything she was going to get.
"I beg of you!" Dumbledore pleaded with Fudge "Let him out! He won't stop! Let him out before he kills himself!" This was bad, he didn't know how long Harry had been battling against cage. It was only a few minutes but it felt like hours to everyone else, probably to Harry as well. He couldn't let the boy-who-lived die here! Who would battle Voldemort?!
Many of the crowd had chosen to leave, fearing what would happen if the defeater of Voldemort had gotten lose. The aurors stayed, even though it was clear that most of them didn't want to. The reporter's and cameramen were still there, taking pictures. Apparently the story and pictures were worth the possibility of death.
Fudge was getting particularly worried, the boy was still screaming, his screams echoed in the ministers ears. This was looking bad, despite being a criminal the boy was still the boy-who-lived and the defeater of Voldemort. He had put the boy in the cage because he was the most powerful prisoner they had and he wanted to show the public how brilliant it was. The fact that some people may have paid him to do it was a factor, but they were all well known and respected purebloods and they all thought it was a good idea!
"Don't be ridiculous Dumbledore!" Umbridge snapped "We are not letting that boy out of that cage!
"Sir!" The worker in charge of the cage said in a worried tone "I would listen to Dumbledore"
"What do you mean?!" Fudge and Umbridge asked at the same time
"Well, I think soon either the cage will break or he will" The worker answered "this...this is impossible. He's powering through the pain, the cage wasn't designed to have someone constantly fight it. H...his mind could snap if this keeps up."
"We are not letting him out!" Umbridge screamed before Fudge could say anything
"Harry!" Dumbledore walked up to the cage "listen to me! If you stop and listen to me I'll try to get you out of there! I promise, you need to work with me! I know you don't like me but surely putting our differences aside temporarily is better than suffering through all this pain!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Harry screamed even louder as the magic in the cage became faster and more violent, his head whipped back and he looked up as the screams continued.
"Guess you got your answer" James whispered as he held his wife close to him
Harry wrapped his hands around the chain as much as possible. He pulled it, with his superior strength the chains ripped out of the floor. They dangled on his hands before dropping to the floor.
Now Fudge was worried!
"Uh...m...maybe..." Fudge stuttered
Harry bit his lip down to stop the screaming, blood came out of his lip but he didn't care. Pain was nothing he hadn't experienced before and he needed to get to Daphne. He crossed his arms into an x over his chest, he pulled as much magic as he could, into himself.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He gave one last scream as he shot his arms out.
BOOM!
