~ Veiled Hearts ~
The Dark Lord lifted the curse long enough to give his victim another chance to answer.
"Where is Sirius Black hiding?"
Dorcas Meadowes only sobbed in response.
"Answer me!"
No matter how many Cruciatus Curses she was forced to endure, she would not give up Sirius (and thereby the Potters) to the dark side. She would rather die than betray him that way, after all they had been through together as members of the Order of the Phoenix... and more. Whether she had been specifically targeted because of her closeness to Sirius or if the Death Eaters had just been looking for any Order members, she still couldn't believe she had been careless enough to get caught.
She gritted her teeth to prevent herself from screaming as the torture curse fell on her once more.
