Chapter 2: Because
Some had been there for weeks. Others, for months. But once they stopped reacting to the spells, they were of no more use to Harry.
The first one to crack was Dollihov.
He was pulled from his cell and dragged to another room where three men waited inside. Harry closed the door to one of the men snickering and stood by the door, listening to the high pitched wailing coming from inside. He pushed off the wall and walked leisurely to the cells.
They weren't really cells. More like… cages. He walked to the end of the line and placed his hand on the top. The man inside, Goyle, flinched and began shaking, but Harry moved on to the next cell. Some looked up with wide eyes, some shrunk to the corner of the cell, some reacted like the first one. Some didn't do anything at all. The only different one was Draco. He looked up, but not with anger, or even fear. He looked up with an expression that seemed to say "Ok. I get it now. Will you stop? …Please?" Harry swallowed the lump in his throat and knelt down.
"Do you understand?" he asked quietly.
Draco nodded. "Yes" He whispered with a croak in his voice.
"Why am I doing this?"
"So we know. So when you let us free, we will never harm anyone." Draco closed his eyes "So when we are free we will never cross anyone for fear of crossing you."
"Exactly," said Harry. He stared at Draco for a moment longer, then stood up. "I'll bring out your meal," he said softly.
As he left the tiled room, he passed by the door that Dollihov had gone through. Muffled sobbing could be heard. He closed his eyes, then moved to the door beside that one. The door that would lead him into the main building to get the meal of the day.
AN: The other chapter is already posted so don't review this chapter. I repeat DON'T REVIEW! I am planning on doing a sequel, and so I will answer any questions anyone has in that fic. It will be called Torture part 2: Return
