A Hogwarts Tale: Love in the Time of Dark Wizards

Chapter 7

-Augustus POV-

As I was in a dimly lit room with my s hands tied behind my back. I was bruised and battered from the attack, but I refused to give in to the Rookwood Gang's demands. I know that my parents and the Aurors were doing everything they could to find him.

The lieutenant of the gang named William who is a tall and imposing figure, entered the room with a wicked grin on his face, he attempted touch me but I scoot away and showed a disgusting look at my face.

William: Still scooting away eh? you're face and eyes is as beautiful as your body.

Augustus: What do you want from me?

William: Well? What do we want? Of course money and you have plenty of it!

He laughed, he tried to do something strange but I refuse to give in. I told him he won't be getting a single galleon from me or my family because they would be dead instead. 

I know can't give in to their demands. I am worth more to them alive than dead, but I also know that they wouldn't hesitate to harm me if they felt threatened.

-Sebastian POV-

As the days passed, Augustus's parents with the Aurors continued to search for him, but the gang remained one step ahead. They moved him from one location to another, always keeping him just out of reach.

Sebastian: There has got to be a mistake in there previous encampments I need to find for clues.

I have never felt this much worry before. I felt helpless, I had never felt this way about anyone before, and the thought of losing Augustus was unbearable. I begged the Hogwarts administration to do something to help find Augustus. 

They assured me that they were doing everything they could. But as the days turned into weeks, I began to lose hope. I need to find him, I would rather die than feel like this each moment. I am determined to find any clues that could lead me to Augustus. I need to find a way to find the location of the Gang's former encampment and then investigate.

While I was about to leave the castle I overheard a bunch of Aurors talking about the Rookwood's gang former encampment at Hogsmeade Valley. I will go there and investigate myself, however I was stopped by Ominis.

Ominis: Where do you think you're going, Sebastian?

Sebastian: I am not in the mood to make a scene now, leave me!

Ominis: I am as worried as you are, Augustus is my cousin! I want to help.

Sebastian: After attempting to ruin my relationship with him, you expect me to trust you?!

Ominis: You know who was at fault Sebastian, don't blame this on me.

Sebastian: Fine, I will let you tag along but not because I want to be friends with you, but because of Augustus.

Ominis: I am not doing this for you, I am doing this for my cousin.

Ominis and I sneaked into the Rookwood Gang's former encampment. I knew it was dangerous, but I have to take the risk to save the one I love. As I carefully search the area, Ominis found a torn piece of cloth that looked like a part of Augustus's robe. I quickyl grabbed and kept it.

Ominis: You know you could've asked me instead of grabbing it.

Sebastian: Whatever. 

As we continue to search the area we stumbled upon a map that had markings, we did it, it seems like we found a possibility of where they are holding Augustus. we immediately reported this to Professor Black and Professor Weasley.
