Hopeless Bait

Diagon Alley had never been known for dark wizards. It was mainly a place for people to shop. But one building, particularly close to Knocturn Alley contained many dark secrets. One secret, in particular, was in its basement. The basement was as dark and as damp as they come. The main area of the basement was mostly bare, but against the far wall was a cell. And inside that cell was a Hogwarts student. His body was battered and broken, and the light in his eyes was completely gone. Yet the boy, Connor, held on to one thing. Hope. Hope that he would see his friends again, hope that he would see his family again. Connor dragged himself over to the far wall where he lay in endless agony. His eyes turned to a blood red as he started to hear the rap-tap of feet against stairs, but held his tongue. A tall man strode into the room yet kept to the shadows. Clearly, the man didn't want to be seen by him. It wasn't until he realized that the man wouldn't speak did he speak himself "What do you want?" he practically shouted, rage getting in the way of his common sense. The man gave a light chuckle "Bait" and with that he left the room, leaving Connor alone in the darkness.
