-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.
Sebastian: Professor we found this map, it looks like a location of the gang's next encampment.
Professor Weasley: How did you boys manage to get this map?
Sebastian: We- (I can't possibly tell her what we did)
Ominis: We found it with the help of the Aurors.
Professor Weasley: Hmm... I shall tell Professor Black about this discovery. You boys go along now.
Sebastian: Wait, I want to come to rescue Augustus!
Professor Weasley: Students are forbidden to leave Hogwarts at the moment due to this incident.
Sebastian: But I found the map! I found the evidence!
Professor Weasley: Points will be deducted from your house if you disobey! you are dismissed Mr. Sallow and Mr. Gaunt!
As Ominis leaves I decided to follow Professor Weasley using a disillusionment spell going to Professor Black's office. As I arrive to eavesdrop at Professor Weasley and Professor Black they plan to raid the encampment alongside with Sir Angus and Madame Spencer.
This is my chance to prove to Augustus I still love him. I will never let anyone hurt him, I am willing to trade lives just for him. Since I saw the map and know the location I decided to raid it myself. I know the unforgivable curses anyway and it will be easy to knock some wizard's off.
-Augustus POV-
I am still under the mercy of the Rookwood Gang and was subjected to constant physical and emotional abuse. They would often use my a dummy for there games and refused to give me proper food and water. They also force me to do their bidding and carry out tasks that were morally questionable.
Dark Wizard 1: Hey why don't you dance for us!
Dark Wizard 2: Clean my shoes after!
Augustus: You will all pay for this!
One of the dark wizard grabbed my face and told me no one was gonna save me but I refuse to believe that no one will come for me.
The Rookwood Gang took pleasure in tormenting me, and they seemed to revel in my suffering. They made me clean up after them, and they also made me do menial tasks that were demeaning.
I am very much aware that his situation was dire, and I know that I needed to find a way to escape. However, the Rookwood Gang had taken away my wand, and had no way to defend myself. While one Dark wizard was about to do something dirty to me, we heard a snap from the encampment.
Dark Wizard 1: Check the woods, this kid still need to do my bidding.
Augustus: I won't do that! take that thing away from me!
-Sebastian POV-
I finally tracked the Rookwood Gang to there encampment on the outskirts of Hogsmeade. I plan to sneak in, get Augustus, and get out before anyone noticed.
Dark Wizard 1: Well! Well! looks like we got ourselves a lost niffler!
Sebastian: Where is Augustus?!
Dark Wizard 2: Oh your precious prince charming? you see he is actually a hard working servant who satisfies us!
Sebastian: How dare you use him! Avada kedavra!
I killed the two dark wizard, I am horrified and I cannot imagine what they are doing to August, I am filled with rage, hate and frustration. I finally saw there main camp, and as I observe the camp I noticed Augustus, he is soiled, wounded and broken.
I cannot help myself but make a surprise attack. The Rookwood Gang was caught off guard by my sudden attack, and for a moment, I was able to fight them off. Spells flew back and forth, I dodged and weaved, my eyes are fixed on Augustus, who was tied up and helpless on the ground.
Dark Wizard 1: You really think you can outnumber us!
Augustus: Sebastian watch out!
I do not know what happened but I heard a huge bang in my head the moment I opened my eyes I was with Augustus, his eyes are filled with tears. I apologized in our cell and we had a talk I cannot help myself but to feel guilty again.
Sebastian: I am sorry (sobs)
Augustus: Sebastian, please don't go for the relic.
Sebastian: I decided, I visited Anne and apparently she accepted her fate. It may be bitter but I have accepted it.
Augustus: You finally did, huh? I am proud.
As I squeeze Augustus and hugged him tightly I can feel his tears falling to my shoulders while he hugs me back.
Sebastian: I love you August!
I pressed my lips to Augustus while he pressed his back. Augustus sobs while he said he is grateful that he still thought about him and made me re-think my decision. As I lean in and pressed my forehead against Augustus', our nose noses touched.
Sebastian: We'll get through this together, August. I promise.
Augustus: I believe you, Sebastian.
Just as they were about to lose hope, they heard the sound of spells being cast outside their cell. A group of Aurors and Hogwarts staff had arrived to rescue them.
Augustus: Do you hear that?
Sebastian: Yes the Aurors they are here.
Augustus: Aurors?
Sebastian: Yes and your parents, upon hearing the grim news of your capture the whole of Hogwarts came together to search for you. Apparently I was the only one who has the courage to save you.
Augustus: Oh Sebastian
August kissed me and I kissed him back. The Rookwood Gang put up a fight, but they were no match for the skilled wizards and witches who had come to save us. Once the gang was defeated.
-Augustus POV-
After our rescue, we were both taken to St. Mungo's Hospital to receive medical attention. The injuries we sustained during their captivity were severe, and we needed time to recover.
Sebastian: August, I am so sorry for everything, I am not sure if I deserve your kindness or this relationship.
Augustus: Sebastian, I love you and I am grateful that you have given up on searching the relic.
During our stay in the hospital, we constantly talked about everything that had happened, from the moment I was abducted to the battle with the Rookwood Gang. We also talked about their feelings for each other, how much they loved each other, and how we couldn't imagine living without each other.
As we sat in the hospital beds, holding our hands, we knew that our relationship had become even stronger after everything we had been through.
