The Breaking Point: Chapter 2

^^^

A few weeks later, it must have been at least one for I had skipped many days of meals at the Dursley's and I had never been this hungry before, I heard footsteps on the stairs. The steps were quick and random, and I could tell that it was Odius, the man in the dirty robes that seemed to delight in torturing me. I hadn't seen him since the first day I got here. The only person I saw was the junior Malfoy, who came sometimes and ended up leaving after a brief squabble or after he cast an Unforgivable on me.

Odius was in front of me now, with a whip in his right hand. He smiled and without a word he started hitting me. I shut out the pain and how much I wanted to scream. I ignored it all because I had to live, I had to be strong. Not because I was supposed to save the world from Voldemort, not so I could see my friends again, and not because I wanted to live. Nothing like that even crossed my mind. The only thing I could think about was Draco Malfoy. I had to live, so I could prove him wrong. I just wanted, no needed, to prove him wrong. I wasn't weak, and I'd prove it to him if it was the last thing I would do on this world.

So I blocked out the pain and concentrated on what he would say when I proved him wrong. It worked so well that I didn't even notice that Malfoy came and dismissed Odius until his face was about two inches from mine. I jumped and screamed, but I didn't miss the sparkle in his eyes before he started laughing, and his eyes turned to stone once more. "There's not one peep out of you when you're being tortured," he said, wiping away the blood on my chest with a blue liquid on a cloth that burnt on touch, "but you jump out of you're skin when you see me. Good to know that you're afraid of me."

I winced as he applied the blue liquid to the various slashes on my bare chest. "Don't flatter yourself, you just startled me, is all." I sighed, and found that it was hard to talk. "Anyway... why hasn't your father come around to see me? It's... rude to keep a guest... waiting."

"Well, my father, fortunately for you, is out of town at the moment, so I'm stuck being your host until we go back to school." He put the cloth down and started bandaging my wounds.

I had to take several deep breaths before talking again. "We?"

He turned around and put the cloth and bandages in a bag before nodding. "Yes, we."

"Mmmm..." I was finding it extremely hard to stay awake.

"Damn it, Potter if you fall asleep now I'll kill you, I swear it!" I opened my eyes slowly. I felt weak, and all I wanted to do was go to sleep, but I kept my eyes open and stayed awake long enough to to drink down the glass of clear liquid. When the liquid was completely gone, Malfoy sighed, "Idiot." He shook his head and I was finally allowed to close my eyes.

A/N: Ah, the transitional chapter... well it's only a minor transition... but whatever. Next chapter will get more gruesome(not for Harry, though.) I hate describing things, and that's why I wrote this story, to help me with that. However, whenever I am about to try and describe something I find a way out of it... I'm horrible...

Anyway Please Review.
