Chapter 11: Sapphires and Emeralds
Liam was curled into a tight ball against the cave wall, Lucius standing over him laughing. Voldemort strode up behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "That's enough Lucius. We need him alive…For now." Lucius bowed his head and retreated a few steps to let his master through. Voldemort hissed. "Now, give me the whereabouts of Harry Potter!"
Liam shook his head quickly. Voldemort's eyes turned a brighter red than they already were. "Where is Harry Potter?"
Liam gasped, his lungs finally loosening after being tortured. "I wont tell you!"
Voldemort paced. "I am not as dumb as I appear to be. I'm perfectly aware that you know where he is. In fact you probably know much about his personal life…" Voldemort turned. "Who is he know closest to? Who is the new family member in his life?"
Liam pushed himself against the cave wall. "I will never tell you! Never! I wont put my friends in danger!"
The Dark Lord was growing impatient. Finally he met Liam's eyes. "Do not make me extract the information by force. I will know who he is closest to in the end."
"I WILL NOT HELP YOU HARM HIM! NEVER! HE'S OUR ONLY CHANCE! HE AND HIS FRIENDS ALONGSIDE PROFESSOR DUMBLEDORE WILL DESTROY YOU!"
Voldemort hissed. Turning to Malfoy he said, "Bind him, lock him up, and feed him only bread and water. He will talk before long." He then pointed his wand at the wall of the cave and two large jars filled appeared. One held sapphires, the other held emeralds. Turning back to Liam he said, "These two jars are your life line boy. The more you annoy me, the emerald jar will fill. The more you please me, the sapphire jar will fill. If the sapphire jar fills to the top, you're free. If the emerald jar fills to the top…you'll wish you'd never been born." Voldemort turned to leave the cave. "Lock him up Lucius!" With that, he was gone.
