CURSES

Sum: Death Eaters have all been captured after Voldemort's fall, and to pay for their terrible crimes, they are forced to endure all the pain they inflicted on others. The only difference is, that Harry Potter gets to oversee the torture, and gets to watch as various cures are placed a upon them. One face, though, stands out above the rest. One set of screams is loudest in Harry's ears. WARNINGS! Torture, Rape, Language, slash………..heh.

Chapter 1: Time

It had been weeks, no. At least months since Draco had last seen the light of natural day. Alas, only three days had passed. Time lost meaning in the rooms that had no natural light, only tile walls in the tree foot cells. Everywhere was white tile. And the screams. Draco was only able to recognize the cries of a select few. Those that were put under at least five curses a day, their names being called by their captor; Bellatrix, Lucius, Wormtail, and of course, himself. But his voice rang numb to his own ears.

The cells they were trapped in were three foot square boxes, walls on the side, bottom and back were made of the same white tile that surrounded them. The top and front made was of fortified plastic with holes to poke wands through and straws to pour potions. At first, Draco sat up, cross-legged and glaring defiantly at the plastic wall, the people behind it. But after the first curse, and it was all Draco could do to crawl to the front to get the antidote… when he wasn't screaming and twitching in agony, he was curled up on the floor.

Most of the people outside, Draco did not recognize: Healers and alchemists, standing by with phials and clipboards, watching with attentive, uncaring eyes, taking notes for purely for research purposes. One though. One that Draco knew very well, one that tormented his dreams, one stood and glared angrily, the only one strong enough to cast the curses, to torture, the only one with enough anger to cast the curses needed.

Draco sensed movement outside his cell. The calls of the cell a few down had stopped and they were moving down to him. Draco raised his head and glared at them, eyes locking with the one at the front, the one who raised his wand.

Suddenly, instead of blood in his body, there was flame. A flame that caused considerable pain but wouldn't kill him. He recognized this curse. How often had he used it? The pain became unbearable, so Draco flipped, thrashing freely.

Two spells hit his body simultaneously, calming, but not stilling him. A slim straw was entered into his mouth and a cool liquid was poured down his throat. Instantly, Draco felt the fire melt to blood again. Draco swallowed and wrenched his head away from the straw and glared at the man looking down on him.

"How do you feel, Malfoy?"

"Fuck you. " Draco spat angrily.

"If you don't tell me how you are feeling, I have no trouble cursing you again."

"I feel fine, you fucking bastard. Just fine."

The man turned to the women behind him and nodded. As they wrote on their clipboards, he began to walk away when Draco called out to him. . "You can't tell me the boy who fucking lived doesn't feel bad about torturing others! It's not possible!" Draco started to turn onto his front and push up onto his knees. "You can't have changed this much-"

Instantly, the man was kneeling in front of Draco's cell. "How would you fucking know, Malfoy? I saw people tortured every day because of Death Eaters. Your spells left lasting problems that we are trying to fix. How do you think it felt to have you like I did, then have you turn on me. To go to HIS side and curse, hex and kill people I cared about?" His voice dropped. "I fucking loved you, you bastard. And you turned on me. For that, I will never forgive you." He stood and moved on.

It had been a month. No. At lease six months since Draco last saw the light of natural day.

Alas, only a week had passed.

AN: So. I'm back from the dead. Did you miss me? Unlikely. But I have something fresh and new for all you fanficers out there! Review and let me know if it's worth typing up the rest. If I do finish it (Dependent on the feedback I get) I also have a sequel and a prequel written out. So R&R SVP!
