Chapter 12 - Where Are We Now

The first snow sprinkled from the dark clouds and covered the rich soil in a soft white blanket, peppered with footprints. Y/N walked next to Donna and Peter as they pointed out the sights.

'There's Honeyduke's and there's the Bouti-' Donna started.

'We're not going to skip past Honeyduke's like that are we?' Peter said, pulling the group in.

The store was alive with students in every corner. Y/N noticed Enoch Wilkes and Julian Conelly hunched over a bowl of something called cockroach clusters and glared at them. Donna took her to the side of the store and picked out some cauldron cakes.

'We need to stock up for the dormitory,' she said as she stuffed some liquorice into her basket, 'Our annual game night isn't right without watching Dorcas and Sirius eat copious amounts of junk and vomiting.'

'Annual game night?' Y/N asked?

Donna nodded, 'Our dorm and the guys' slowly build up a banquet and then we have a game night on hallow's eve. You know, like party games but add ✨magic✨.'

'James and I finally got all the ingredients for the veritaserum last night.' Sirius said, walking in behind her into the shop with a mischievous grin on his face. Y/N's world stopped.

'We've got a fresh batch of veritaserum for the next students when you're ready, Headmistress.'

'Thank you, Asher, bring them in.'

Y/N flinched as Asher Dolohov gripped her arm and pulled her into Headmistresses office in front of a small, mousy girl.

'Sit.'

Y/N sat, despite knowing she didn't have a choice and looked over, concerned, at the first year that was seated next her, terrified.

'Do it.'

Y/N started to object as her head was roughly pulled back by a strong pair of hands, he yanked open her jaw and poured the potion into her mouth.

'Drink up, beautiful.' Dolohov leered.

She kept the potion under her tongue in hopes they wouldn't notice. Her naivety was punished with a swift kick to her shins.

'I said drink.' he growled.

She, again, didn't have a choice as the clear, odourless, tasteless, water slid down her gullet. Dolohov went to tip back the head of the small girl next to her and the first year whimpered.

'I'll do it.' Y/N glared and stood up to take the vial from him.

Dolohov flicked his wand and she fell back into her chair, her head thrown back by the force.

'Asher- play nice, let the girl do it.' Headmistress said.

Asher snarled and shoved the bottle into Y/N's hand. She stood up indignantly and walked behind the girl, slowly tilting her head back.

'I'm so sorry. Be strong.' she whispered as she poured the potion into the terrified girl's mouth and took her seat.

'Your name and where you're from.' Headmistress said.

'My name is Y/N Y/L/N, I was born in Inverness, Scotland and when accepted to Snak-' Y/N said, unable to stop the words from spilling out of her mouth.

'Enough. You.' Headmistress pointed to the first year beside her, who was visibly trembling.

'I'm Eloise Crador, I was born and raised here.' she squeaked.

'Does that information match up?' Headmistress looked sharply at Dolohov who flicked through some papers and nodded.

'Wonderful. Now that we know the potion works, though I never doubt Starkey's potioneering skills, why should I?' She gave a bark of laughter, 'She doesn't have a choice, we can get to the real questions. Who is the mole?'

Y/N bit the inside of her mouth, feeling the metallic taste of blood on her tongue.

'I don't know.' Eloise managed.

Asher mumbled the tongue-tying curse and watched in pleasure as Eloise whipped around, distressed, her deep chestnut eyes filled with fear and brimming with tears.

'Enough, Asher, how can she speak like that?' Headmistress performed the counter curse and glared up at Dolohov, 'I was under the impression that you said you had found two that knew something?'

'They do Headmistress, we just have to get her to talk.' he nodded at Y/N.

Y/N cursed in her head. It was true, she did know who the mole was but she would sooner die than sell out her friends. Death was too merciful of an option, she knew Headmistress would never let her get out that easily.

'If you won't speak, I will make you.' Headmistress seethed through her teeth.

Y/N looked up slowly, 'Go for it.'

'Asher?'

'Crucio!'

Y/N screamed. It felt like someone had delved their nails through her chest and was twisting her heart. She exploded with pain and the room fell away from her as white light blinded her and sparks ruptured in her brain. Make it stop she tried to say make it stop, the words wouldn't come. She thought she could hear Eloise protesting but she couldn't be sure whether or not the screams were Eloise's or her own. Make it stop make it stop make it-

'Y/N!'

Y/N shook her head and looked up, 'Huh?'

'Oh, you're alive.' Sirius said, 'We were just asking you if you were going to sneak into the kitchens with us next week, on the eve of hallow's eve.'

'Students are allowed to go into the kitchen?? How did I not know this?' Y/N demanded.

'Well,' Donna said, struggling for words, 'Not allowed per se, but it's accessible.'

'Absolutely. I will absolutely break into the kitchens and take food with you lot.'

'Great and like we were saying, we can start brewing the veritaserum tomorrow as well.'

Veritaserum.

Make it stop, make it stop, make it stop.

'Y/N? Are you okay?' James asked.

'What? Of course. Just... a little light headed is all,' she smiled quickly, 'Okay let's buy this stuff.'

James looked at Donna who shrugged but went up to the counter and bought the sweets with her.

'Okay. Where next?'
