Before Draco could object, Snape took his arm in a vice like grip and Draco was experiencing the weirdest sensation he had ever felt. It was like apparating, flying on a broomstick and using a portkey all at the same time. As soon as it started, it was over. Draco looked around, expecting to see the familiar surroundings of his manor, but he wasn't there.

"Is this Malfoy Manor?" Draco asked Snape.

"Yes it is." Snape answered.

"I don't want to be here. I demand that we leave at once. I swore I would never return to this place after my mother's death. Take me away!" Draco tried to move his feet, but they were stuck to the ground. "Let me move! I don't want to be here!"

Snape ignored him and kept his eyes focused on a door in the distance. Suddenly it sprung open and a five year old Draco Malfoy rushed into the room, followed closely by his mother. The Draco with Snape tried to divert his eyes, but he found that he couldn't move any part of his body, he couldn't even blink.

"Come on, I don't want to watch this!" Draco said to Snape.

"Shh, I don't care. Pay attention." Snape said, not turning away,

"Oh Draco, here. Open this now so your father doesn't see." Draco's mother, Narcissa, was saying. The five year old Draco's eyes lit up as he torn the paper off his gift.

"Mum, I've always wanted a model Quidditch pitch! How did you know, I've never told anyone!" Five year old Draco said.

Narcissa winked at him. "I have my ways, now go put that away before your father sees!" Five year old Draco hurried away, clutching his new present like it was the secret of the universe. Draco with Snape made a move to follow his younger counterpart, but he still couldn't move.

"You can't move. I want you to see a conversation between your parents." Snape said.

"Narcissa!" Lucius's voice boomed out.

"Coming dear!" Narcissa said hurriedly.

"No need. I'm right here. We need to discuss Draco. He is too happy for a little boy, he needs some pain in his life. When the Dark Lord returns, Draco will be old enough to be a death eater, and he has to be prepared. I think that we should have weekly treatments of the Cruciatus Curse. Do you agree? Good, we'll start the first treatment tonight."

Narcissa nodded weakly. How she wanted to object, but she knew better than to try to change the mind of Lucius. "Merry Christmas dear."

"Is it Christmas? I'll have to give Draco those books on the Dark Arts that I got in Knockturn Alley last week. I'll do that now."

Draco with Snape was furious. He couldn't believe that the reason he had undergone the Cruciatus curse weekly for 6 years was because his father wanted him to be a Death Eater! Draco took a step forward, finding that he could move and made a move to punch Lucius. Snape didn't stop him and Draco's fist went through Lucius's head like Lucius was a ghost.

"I can't believe that bastard! A good thing that Dumbledore killed him! He got what he deserved!" Draco ranted.

Snape put his hand on Draco's shoulder. "Time to go to another Christmas." Before Draco could object, Snape took his arm in a vice like grip and Draco was experiencing the weirdest sensation he had ever felt.
