Hermione had never been tortured, beaten, or generally abused so much as she was right now. Her head was bleeding onto the stone floor, wrists bleeding from the chains that held her there. Her back was surely broken Lucius' cane coming down hard once again, snake head piercing an already open wound. Hermione screamed in pain.

Draco sat at the head table, People he had known in school, some teachers still teaching. Potter had been made Headmaster after killing Voldemort, but not before Voldemort had killed Dumbledore, the world's greatest wizard.
