HARRY'S POV:
I was gently passed from Tom's warm arms to Narcissa and Bellatrix, expecting the worst but instead being cradled lovingly while they cooed at me. They offered me small pieces of their food, trying to feed me, but I turned my head away, feeling too full to eat anymore. Their attempts to coax me only made me cry, overwhelmed by everything that had happened.
After what felt like an eternity of tears, I was lifted into arms that felt strangely cold yet comforting. Through teary eyes, I saw Tom's blurry figure. He held me close, cradling me gently, and I couldn't understand what he was doing at first. But he rocked me soothingly, rubbing my back until my sobs subsided into quiet sniffles.
Once I calmed down, Tom smiled down at me with a warmth that made me blush. He summoned something with a flick of his hand, and in the next moment, a bottle appeared, filled with a strange white liquid. He shushed me softly, guiding the bottle to my mouth. I hesitated, unsure, but the liquid tasted sweet and comforting with the first drop. I started drinking eagerly, almost forgetting my initial apprehension.
Tom reminded me gently to drink slowly, and when he took the bottle away momentarily, I felt a pang of worry. But he returned it soon after, continuing to stroke soothing circles on my back. Gradually, the sweet liquid and his gentle touch lulled me into a peaceful state. Eventually, I stopped sucking, feeling warm and safe with my eyes closed.
As I lay there, surrounded by warmth and a sense of being cared for, I began to believe that maybe, just maybe, I had found a place where I could truly be safe and loved.
