Author's Notes 2: Warning: It is a touch distrubing... read at own risk...
The screams. The pleading. The blood dripping from wounds not deep enough to invite silence. The room oppressively warm. The smell of blood, sweat, fear, repulsively strong… strong enough to taste it on the tip of your tongue. They had been standing there for hours, witnessing the torture. Bellatrix was in fine form, she had not allowed the couple to pass out once… the Cruciatus curse used with the skill of an artist.
Over a decade has passed and that is the night that haunts Snape's dreams. Trapped in that bloody room with the Longbottoms with no chance of escape.
