I was back in the bed, except this time the room was in semi-darkness.

I went over to the barred window, locked. The door, locked. I was trapped. Even if I had wanted to escape, I couldn't anymore.

The door swung open, making a loud BANG as it hit the wall. I heard an angry voice come from below me in response to the door slamming.

I turned around to see Potter, flanked by the younger Weasley and Granger.

"Snape." Potter said, his frown matched by Weasley's own.

I refused to acknowledge him, just standing there, looking at Potter, following him as he circled around me, evenly pacing with his companions to form a moving circle around me.

"Where is the horcrux in Hogwarts? Don't say you don't know what we're talking about."

I started as a menacing light came from Potter's wand tip. I felt a rough push from behind me. Caught by surprise, I turned as I fell to gain sight to my attacker, Weasley.

"If you'd lower your wand and tell Weasley to lay off me, I will tell you." I hissed at Potter.

Potter smirked. "As if I'd fall for one of your low tricks, Snape." The last word was spat out as if it were a curse.

Weasley was now on top of me, pushing my shoulders down, restricting any defence I had. I struggled to hide the fear that was beginning to bubble to the surface and take over.

I bit down hard as the wood underneath me began to move and harden, enveloping my legs and arms, pulling me down, opening scars from the cellar. I looked up. Granger had her wand pointed at me, words spilling over her tongue as if they were water. Suddenly, the rubbery wood stopped climbing my limbs, and began to tighten.

"Just tell us where it is and it'll stop." I could hear a faint pleading tone in Potter's voice. I dropped my head back to the floor, feeling my energy leak away as the wood squeezed me. Tighter. Tighter.

Another plank of wood lay itself over me, squeezing my midsection, dragging, pulling the air out of my lungs. I gave in and began to gasp for breath, but despite my efforts, each breath I took was forced out almost immediately. Tears began to slide down my face.

Suddenly it all stopped, and the wood retreated to only over my wrists and ankles. I lay there, gasping for breath, not caring anymore what I looked like. My body eventually stopped shaking, and my vision began to clear. I could also hear Granger talking about some transfiguration spell…

"Snape, don't make this harder for yourself." I could hear Potter whispering We know that you know where it is. Just tell us where it is, and we'll leave you."

I looked up at him.

His friend were standing next to him, each of them with their wands out. I was briefly reminded of Lily, with her friends, when they had found me on Death Eater duty. I felt the corner of my mouth twitch.

I looked at Granger as I spoke evenly, "Take the spell off the floor, and I will tell you where the horcrux in Hogwarts is."

Potter opened his mouth to speak, an angry look overcoming his face.

"Must I add that if I do not tell you where it is, you could be searching for days, with the threat of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters coming any day?"

Potter shut his mouth, and turned to Granger, nodding slightly at her.

The restraints tightened, but then sunk back into the floor.

I gave him a look warning him not to interrupt again. "I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it was placed in the Place where all things are hidden." I finished.

"Thank you." Potter exclaimed, his friends murmuring their thanks as they left the room.

I climbed up onto the bed, blissful darkness taking me almost straight away.

Thank you all for reading! Should be updating in around 2-3 weeks, as I have another story to work on, and school's coming up fast, so check up on the story around then. Sorry if it's later than that.
