**Chapter 5: Betrayal and Scream**

"Where's Hermione?" Harry demanded, his voice shaking with fear and desperation as he scanned the room frantically, his eyes pleading with Voldemort for any information. Voldemort's smile grew wider, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Wouldn't you like to know where your little pet is, Harry?" he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. Ron's eyes flashed with anger. "What have you done to her?" he shouted, struggling against the restraints that bound him. Sirius's face was set in a grim mask. "Tell us, Voldemort," he growled, his voice low and menacing. Voldemort chuckled, the sound sending shivers down the spines of the three boys. "Oh, don't worry, she's...elsewhere," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement. Just then, a blood-curdling scream pierced the air, making the boys' hearts skip a beat. It was Hermione's voice, and it sent a chill down their spines. "NOOOO!" Harry shouted, his body arching in agony as he tried to break free from his restraints. Ron's face was white with fear. "Hermione!" he cried out, his voice hoarse with despair. Sirius's eyes were clenched shut, his face twisted in a grimace of pain and fear. "Hermione, no," he whispered, his voice barely audible. The scream had stopped as suddenly as it had started, leaving an oppressive silence in its wake. The boys exchanged fearful glances, their minds racing with the worst possible scenarios. Voldemort's smile grew even wider. "I think it's time we paid a visit to our...guest," he said, his eyes glinting with excitement. The Dark Lord turned to Bellatrix, his voice low and menacing. "Take our friends to the cells. We'll deal with them later." As the Death Eaters moved to drag the boys away, Harry caught a glimpse of Voldemort's face, his eyes burning with an unholy excitement. "You're going to regret not telling me where Hermione was," Voldemort whispered, his breath cold and menacing. The boys were dragged away, their hearts heavy with fear and their minds racing with the thought of what might be happening to Hermione.
