I apologize for the title...

Older Harry just looked his younger counterpart in the eye and nodded going off to call off the meeting and collect the rest of the family.

———————————————————————————————————————

Lily had been left alone for around 5 minutes but to her, it felt like a decade. She was screaming in terror internally but she chose to glare at her captors refusing to let her emotions be seen. They had left after strapping her to a chair without saying anything besides the fact that they will be coming back. She focused on her breathing, following the same techniques she saw her mom teach her dad. 

A few minutes later Lily saw a hooded figure enter her room. He silently cast a spell that let her see her family in the other room and vice versa. Another masked figure entered the room where the others were being held, they both waved their hands and a dim light flooded both rooms.

"What do you want from us?" Teddy snarled, his shoulder positioned in an awkward way as it had be dislocated as he was fighting against his chains. 

"It's simple" the figure in his room answered in a deep voice "We are going to ask a few questions and let's just say it won't end well for little Lily over there if you refuse to give us an answer"

"How do you know her name?" James demanded. The figure just chuckled and didn't provide an answer

"How about we ask the questions James"

Everyone visibly shuddered in the room after that statement.

"Why are you doing this?" Albus cried, his writs were similar to James and were bleeding, Lily momentarily worried about them being infected but the figure had put their hands together and announced "Let's begin"

"What do you know about the Order of the Phoenix"

"uysgay ontday nsweraay nythingaay" Teddy muttered loud enough for only them to hear he felt glad that he taught everyone pig Latin after he got nods of approval

(Translation: Guys don't answer anything)

"What do you know about the Order of Phoenix?" The figure asked no one in specific, not hearing what Teddy said

"Why do you want to know?" Victorie asked instead to buy time.

The figure laughed and said, "It's funny how you children think you can prolong what you deserve. I will repeat myself again, we will ask the questions here. I will give you one more chance to answer my question" 

The room remained eerily quiet. After a few seconds of silence, the figure nodded to the other figure in Lily's room and they could hear the other figure mumble "Scoortia" followed by a yellow spell shooting towards the youngest Potter.

As soon as the spell was cast Lily felt electricity course her body. She tried her best to not scream but one escaped her lips against her will.

"LILY!" James and Albus's voices rang above everyone else's filled with desperation as they tugged helplessly against their restraints.

"You heartless, despicable human being! Give us back our sister" Albus cried

"Just answer the question then," The figure said with a smirk on its face and nodded at the other figure again. This time Lily's scream was louder and a few tears threatened to fall.

"We don't know anything!" Louis yelled trying to save Lily from being electrocuted again. "All we know is that they were an organization while my Uncle Harry was around 15!"

"You must not tell lies my dear boy, raise the current" The figure in their room stated and Lily's screams pierced everyone's ears until they suddenly stopped. "Lily?" could be heard muttered across the room in fear at the sudden silence.

The figure in the other room shook its head and at their boss's order, they unstrapped Lily removing her from the room.

"Awww, the poor girl has a low pain tolerance," The figure in their room sneered as the other figure came into the room and tossed her inside just out of reach from her family's touch not bothering to restrain her.

"You are going to regret touching her as soon as I'm free" Roxanne spat as she struggled helplessly against her chains. Her declaration was met with agreements and furious insults being thrown at their captors.

Both the figures just laughed and they unlocked Hugo's chains and dragged him away as he did his best to struggle and escape. He could hear his family yelling his name as he was dragged away and he was beyond pissed at these figures. He tried to look at Lily before he left and was relieved to see her diaphragm moving indicating that she is alive. He nodded at his family who were still screaming his name. There was a moment where relief flashed through their eyes but it was quickly replaced with fear as the figure strapped Hugo into the room where Lily was previously tortured with the promise of coming back in an hour giving them time to loosen their tongues.
