Paralysis – Frank/Alice

Unbeknownst to most people, including every visitor and doctor that had ever encountered the Longbottom's in St. Mungo's over the years, they weren't really insane. Just trapped in their own minds. Retreated like a turtle into its shell. It was horrific, Bellatrix had inflicted the worst possible torture anybody could imagine on them. No one who felt an ounce of love in their hearts would possibly do that to someone else. How she wanted to reassure Remus, Emmeline, Molly and all the others who came in that they would recover, and there was no need for distress. How she wanted to cry out with the injustice that Sirius had been taken to Azkaban, surely he would never betray James and Lily? How she wanted to talk to her son. Most of all though, she wanted to just be with Frank again.
