Inseparabile

"Well, when you came out of the bathroom, two students confronted you. They... they preformed a forbidden curse on you. An Unforgivable Curse, the Cruciatus Curse. It brings intense amounts of pain to the victim. It was used on you for 10 minutes." Draco said
"How did you find me? Did my call help?" Harry asked
"Well, Mr. Smith here sensed you, I believe. Are you a seer, Mr. Smith?" Snape asked
"Yes, sir. My mother was one. I inherited it from her. I could hear Harry's call and I had seen what was happening. But, Harry, how did you used your magic like that? I wasn't aware that that was possible." Zacharias said
"Well, I needed help so I pushed my magic towards it. I kinda of thought the word 'help' as well. Thank you for finding me. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't."
"Yes, well, Mr. Potter, you are free to go. I'd like for you to take Dreamless Sleep Potions until Thursday. And eat a bit of chocolate if you start to feel a bit light-headed. Its only the potions that I had given you working to bring the swelling down. Now, off you go!" Madam Pompfrey
"Thank you" Harry said and the three students and Professor Snape left the infirmary.

As they walked, Harry wobbled a little, so Draco and Zacharias held onto him, Draco around his shoulders and Zacharias around his waist.

"Harry, are you sure you feel okay?" Zacharias asked him.
"Im sure. I think a little rest will do me well. Now, Professor Snape, what will happen to the two who attacked me?" Harry asked
"Well, chances are, they will be expelled, and since they are older students, they may spend time in Azkaban."
"What is Azkaban?"
"It is the wizard prison. Dangerous criminals are held there. It's not a very pleasant place." Zacharias informed him
"Oh" Harry trailed off.

Was the Cruciatus Curse really that bad? Why was it made an Unforgivable? Questions were running through Harry's head.

Why had those two students done that to him?

That was the most important question to him.
