He looks at the creature in front of him dispassionately.
Torturing this thing hadn't amused him at all. It hadn't screamed, or wept, or begged for its life. No, all it had done was lie there uselessly, with defiance and hatred burning its eyes.
Perhaps he shouldn't have Silencioed it after all. At least the abuses it would have thrown at him would have given him some form of entertainment, even though they were nothing more than pathetic attempts at gaining some sort of upper hand.
But doing so now would be utterly useless. The creature was too broken to be vocally insolent anymore. It was all it could do to glare at him. He knew that the only way that thing would make noise was if it was begging, no matter how uselessly, for its life. Only the instinct for survival could overcome its fatigue.
And yet, it refuses to scream no matter what I do it.
Unless…
Yes, this one will be perfect to try out my new pet on.
"Nagini, come to me."
"Yessss massssterrr."
The snake slithered towards him, waiting eagerly for him commands.
One day, more than just Nagini will be eager for my commands. I will extend my dominion over the world.
"I have your dinner waiting for you, Nagini."
"Thankkkk you massssterrr."
"Oh, and Nagini? Do remember to play with you food a little."
At the sight of his pet, the thing finally starts screaming. As its cries and pleas for mercy fill the air around him, he allows himself a moment to gloat.
No matter how strong and determined they believe themselves to be, everyone will fall to him. The whole world will kneel before him. He will be Lord Voldemort, Master of the Universe, and no one will be able to stop him.
