Interlude One:

Draco Malfoy screamed and screamed, the pale boys youngface contorted into a horrifying sight that made even Snape feel slightly ill. He had seen many would notsurvive this length of torture from the Dark Lord but to many of the other Death Eater's surprise but something seemed to be sustaining the boy's strength.

Sverus turned his face away for the first time in hours, he looked up at the high ceiling of stars far above him, the isolated clearing was swirling with mist as the predawn grey began to roll across the sky. He shivered and turned his eyes back to Draco Malfoy's face as the screams faded into sobs.

"You're sorry aren't you boy?" hissed a cold voice that chilled Snape more than the unnaturally cold air ever could.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." The mutters raised in pitch until they were screamed into the night air as the wand raised once more.

Snape lidded his eyes so that Malfoy's young face became blurred as the screams continued.
