In the corner, the woman pressed her lips together to keep from screaming. Her tormentor screamed "Crucio!" and she couldn't help the whimper that escaped her lips at this new wave of pain. They had been doing this for so long- how much more could her body take?
He was watching from the shadows as they tortured her. He could say nothing, do nothing. A traitor himself, if he tried to help her now he would endure the same type of punishment. It was better for the both of them if no-one knew he was there.
Her tormentor stepped forward and pointed his wand at her throat. "Are you ready to talk, woman? Tell us his location, and we will spare you from more pain." The woman swallowed audibly, scooting backwards and away from her captor. She could only move a few inches before she rammed into the cold stone of the wall. The man in front of her pressed the tip of his wand to her voice box. "Speak now, or be forever silenced, blood traitor."
She looked up at him through bloodshot gray eyes.
"I… will… never betray… my…son…"
"Very well." Her captor's eyes were as black and soul-less as a new moon as he stepped back and pointed his wand at the woman's heart. "Avada Kedevra."
The flash of green light blinded his vision. When he could see again, the woman was slumped against the wall, platinum-blonde hair falling over her lifeless face. In that moment, his gray eyes that were so like her own became focused in uncontrollable sorrow. Raising his wand, Draco Malfoy stepped out from where he had been hiding, a feral scream emanating from his mouth.
"MOTHER!"

Disclaimer and all that jazz: I don't own Harry Potter. Wish I did, but that can't be helped.
Please review, this is my first time publishing something I've written!
Rated M for later chapters- I might edit out most of it, but better safe than sorry.
