"You ready?" Pansy asked as I ate the breakfast she made.
"To torture my friend?" I asked. She nodded.
"As ready as I can be." I said.
"You should probably head out." Blaise said.
"Yeah." I said standing.
"Lily?" Said Draco.
"You can do this. You have to do this." He said. I nodded
I floo'd to the dark lord's manor.
"Finally you're here Cousin. I have been waiting." Bellatrix said.
"Hello cousin." I said.
"I have had him brought up and he is waiting in the drawing room in front of the dark lord." Bellatrix said, skipping down the hall. She pushed the doors open revealing Voldemort sitting in his chair and Ron on the ground writhing in pain.
"Ah, my tortures are here." Voldemort said.
"Lily please, you're better than this." Ron said.
"Crucio!" I called. He writhed on the ground.
"This is me now. There is no better than this. I am going to reach my full potential and I am going to do it with that dark lord's help." I said squatting down beside him.
"George misses you. He misses you so much. This broke his heart." Ron said.
"He was always a weak point. The less people you care about the less likely you are to get hurt." I said standing.
"Lily!" He called from the ground.
"Crucio!" I fired. I saw Bellatrix jumping up and down.
"Can I go, my lord?" She asked.
"Wait your turn, Bella. Lily seems to be having fun." Voldemort said.
"I very much am. I have always liked you the least, Ron." I said firing another spell. In Fact, I was very much not enjoying this. It made me feel sick.
"Lily." Voldemort said with an underlying tone telling me to get on with the questions.
"Right, why were you traveling in such a big group?" I asked.
"I am not going to say anything! I will not turn on my friend like you did!" Ron said.
"Oh, shut it with the whole 'I am better than you' stuff. It's fake and you know it." I said squatting down beside him.
"I am! I did not fall to the enemy." Ron said.
"Did you know your mother loved you the least?" I asked. Ron flinched.
"Yes, George told me once that she loved you the least. I believe on more than one occasion she said she wished that Harry was her son." I said. My words were hurting him.
"That's not true!" Ron spat.
"Oh, but it is. Deep down you know it too. You're only alive because your mother wanted a girl. If she would have got one sooner, you would not be alive." I said.
"So, you are not better than me. At least my parents loved me." I said. I heard a gasp from Bellatrix.
"Your father would be so disappointed in you." Ron said. "So would Remus."
"Be that as it may. I am on the right side of this. I am not disappointed in myself beyond the fact that I did not do this sooner." I sighed.
"So, now that we have talked about that I will ask again. Why were you moving?" I yelled. Ron said nothing.
"I tried to do this another way. But seeing as I am getting nothing, maybe Bellatrix would make more progress." I said, stepping back. Bellatrix stepped forward eagerly taking my place
"Well done Lily." Voldemort said.
"Thank you my lord." I said.
"How did it feel?" He asked
"Amazing." I lied. It felt awful. I never wanted to say those things to anyone.
"You will reach your full potential just as you told Ron." He smiled.
"I hope so." I said.
