˖*. ADEQUATE AFTERMATH .*˖
The teenager lay on that cold wooden floor once more.
Memories of panic and nervous faces flashed through their mind. They tried to remember who they were, why they were here. They vaguely remembered the events that had occurred throughout the day.
They had eaten breakfast. They had gone to class. There had been panic. And then everything had gone dark and They woke up here. In the dark ice-cold room that reminded them so of torment.
Through one of the high windows, the teenager saw the dark sky regularly light up with bright flashes of light. Distant sounds of people screaming and shouting broke the eerie quiet.
A dark figure stood in front of the window. When it turned around, the teenager saw pure delight written across its face.
Normally, the teenager could never quite make out the features of the figure. All it did was loom over them, and bring them the most terrible agony imaginable.
Today was different. It was as if the delight it felt had made the figure loose some of its precautions. The teenager could make out its vibrant red eyes that stood out against its snow white skin.
'The raw stubbornness of a child will not stand in the way of my success.' The figure said with its voice deep and threatening. 'Give in.'
Never. They thought. But they were too weak to even procure a single sound. And again, as so many evenings before this one, the figure spoke that petrifying word.
'Crucio.'
The teenager wouldn't be able to hold on much longer. Sooner or later, the figure would get what it wanted.
Total control.

Diane woke up in the Slytherin common room. She'd fallen asleep on Lloyd's shoulder.
His mouth was slightly open and his heartbeat beat in a slow regular pace, suggesting he was still asleep.
There were no other students besides the five of them, everything was extremely quiet except for the soft crackling of the fireplace. Which indicated that it was still nighttime.
Across from them, Albus lay sprawled in the sofa, his legs resting on Scorpius's lap while he was fast asleep. Scorpius himself sat fidgeting with Albus's shoelaces, gazing out at the dark green lake beyond the glass.
'Can't sleep?' Diane whispered.
Scorpius shook his head and looked down at his hands. 'I'm just so worried.'
'They'll be back anytime now, I'm sure of it.' She said confidently, even though she doubted her own statement highly.
Scorpius smiled softly at Diane, but the peace and quiet of their cozy common room was disturbed as that same pinkish looking creature she'd seen twice before appeared in front of the window.
