This Is Usually The Part Where People Scream
Swallowing kind of hurt, if he were to be honest.
The wand at his throat didn't help much either, really.
"The Dark Lord was very pleased with your appearance, Potter. He is allowing us to use you to get whatever information we might want, so long as we don't kill you..." Lucius Malfoy grinned maniacally, kneeling beside Harry's bound body.
His wand lay in the corner of the room, where it had been kicked previously, before he had been bound.
"So exactly what I want to know," he began, standing and pacing in a circle around Harry's body, stepping over tangled limbs. His face was visible only due to the torchlight in the dungeon-like cavern they were in.
He continued, and now Harry was slightly unsure of whether or not he was being spoken to, or if Lucius was rambling to himself. "It's not like we don't all want revenge on him, the filthy blood traitor, hiding out in Hogwarts..."
Harry was completely sure of who he was speaking of, and he had to fight to keep his heartrate under control, and his face blank of everything but defiance. He knew instinctively that this wasn't going to end well.
"What I want to know is," Lucius began again, coming to a stand-still in front of Harry, his face twisted into something like a grimace of disgust – how dare he – "The location of dearest Severus Snape."
Harry's heart was pounding now, far out of his control. He remained stoic, despite the fact that now he was more scared than he would've been staring down Voldemort himself. He kept his lips sealed, though, for the protection of Severus.
"Not answering?" Lucius questioned, raising his want ever so slightly, the tip pointed directly at Harry's face. "Such a shame..." he muttered.
"Crucio!"
This is usually the part where people scream.
