˖*. ALARMING ATTACK .*˖

The Teenager's eyes were focussed on the ground. A few words kept swarming their mind over and over.

Cold. Alone. Pain.

The teenager looked at Their trembling hands. Only, they didn't really know if they were theirs. They turned them around slowly, studying the pale long fingers and the short fingernails attached to them.

It is then they heard a voice, a voice that immediately reminded them of agony.

'Let me in.' The figure spat. 'You can't keep resisting for much longer.'

the teenager felt tears escaping their eyes and falling onto their cheeks. Dropping ultimately to the floor, where they were seated in a pathetic heap.

All they could do was shake their head. The longer they shook, the more tears escaped their puffy eyes.

'Very well then.' The figure again said, its tone calm but threatening.

'Crucio'

And again the teenager fell down, screaming. Feeling the worst pain they had ever felt and would ever feel in their life.

They didn't know how much longer they would be able to stay strong, but they knew they had to try. For their family, for their friends, for themselves.

After the figure was done with the teenager, they lay there on the ground, unmoving. All they could see through their tear stained eyes was the figure walking away from them.

'Obliviate.' It said.

And then they woke up. Not on the cold hard floor, but in their warm bed.

The child did not remembering a thing of what had happened the night before, or had been happening to them for several nights in a row.

They got up out of bed and put on their robes, oblivious to the fact that they would be in copious amounts of agony once again that very evening.

Diane was seated at the breakfast table. Joined as usual by her friends and their parents. They'd all gotten quite used to this new arrangement by now.

Only today, the ambiance seemed different. George was staring out of one of the windows lining the walls of the great hall, instead of having his usual banter with Lee Jordan.

Luna was jumpy, and looked around anxiously whenever someone spoke to her. Seamus and Dean kept stealing nervous glances at one another.

'Alright, what's going on.' Lloyd asked after angrily putting down his spoon.
