Searing agony lanced at his eyes and echoing in his ears was the laughter and taunts of his peers. Despite the pain he was currently in he didn't regret his change of allegiance, not one bit. He'd miss Hogwarts, annoying brats and all. He recognized the curse that caused the lingering pain in his eyes. With out his sight there was no way for him to teach and as a result he'll lose the only home he's every known. He mourned the loss of his only escapes from his lonely life. He'll miss his books and potions. He knew he'd never see again thanks to the son of a bitch he sold his soul to years ago. They'll be no where for him to go now that he could no longer teach the brats. That thought constantly ran through his head no matter what the previous thought was. He no longer had a home. The family manor was nothing more than a pile of rubble and the last house-elf died when he first began teaching. He didn't know what he was going to do.
He did his best to block out the rest of the noise surrounding him as they all took turns torturing him. He retreated into his mind and began planning his future, provided the bastard left him with one. Right this moment he was nothing but a mass of pain. So much so he couldn't identify what was the most critical of his injuries. The Dark Lord called them off finally and Severus allowed himself to pay attention to what was going on around him now. His voice gave out a long time ago and the Dark Lord didn't get as much enjoyment out of his favourite past time if the victim couldn't respond.
"Let this be a lesson to you all! Anyone who betrays me will suffer the same fate as this traitor." The Dark Lord hissed at his followers. Severus could just picture the gloating look on the worm's face. "As I promised, Severus, I've made you an example to everyone. I shall enjoy seeing what you do with yourself now." Voldemort chuckled cruelly and Severus could hear the bastard's robes rustling around him. He felt Voldemort's gaze leave him and suppressed the jump of surprise when his tormentor spoke to someone else in a loud voice. "You four return to Hogwarts before you're missed and dump this in the Forbidden Forest." A kick to his side emphasized that it was he that would be dumped.
"Yes, my Lord." The prompt reply was in Draco's distinctive drawl and Severus wondered which of his Slytherins were also bringing him home.
He retreated into his mind once again as a means to escape the pain and he vaguely registered the muttered Mobilicorpus that hauled him upright like some macabre marionette. As he felt himself drifting through the air, darkness began to envelope him and he let it do so without a fight.
He came to when he was unceremoniously dumped on damp, pungent soil. The air was cool around him and he concluded that they were deep inside the Forbidden Forest. Part of him hoped that Albus or Hagrid would find him while the other hoped that he'd died right then and there. His wishes were ignored when he started to hear shouting. Stupify echoed through the trees and he heard three bodies hitting the ground.
"Figures you couldn't keep you nose out of other people's business." Malfoy drawled. The person he was talking to responded with a muttered curse. He heard the younger Malfoy scrambling to get out of the way of what was probably a well executed curse.
His student retaliated and this time when Severus heard the counter curse he was able to identify the caster. It was Potter and Severus would recognize that voice anywhere.
"How low the heir of the Malfoys has fallen; taken to groveling at the feet of a halfblooded bastard." Potter baited his opponent.
"You know nothing of power, Potter."
"I know quite a bit about it, Malfoy." Potter responded and sent another curse at the Slytherin.
"Crucio!" Severus winced when Draco shouted the curse and much to his surprise Potter didn't make a sound of pain. Severus heard the curse impact and instead of screaming Potter was laughing.
"Let me show you how it's done, Malfoy. Crucio!" Severus had never heard so much hate in Potter's voice, not even directed at him. Malfoy junior screamed and the sound echoed in the trees.
"Potter, are you mad?" Severus hissed at the young Gryffindor, who immediately lifted the Cruciatus Curse and moved to his side after stupefying the blonde.
"Yes, I'm thoroughly pissed off. Professor McGonagall and the Headmaster will be here shortly."
"I didn't mean angry, impudent whelp! You've finally gone insane. All Malfoy has to do is demand they check your wand for the use of an unforgivable and you're doomed, boy."
"You shouldn't talk. If you over stress those damaged vocal cords they won't recover. As to the topic of your concern, I'd be in trouble if I was using my wand." Potter chuckled slightly before muttering a spell under his breath.
Severus was going to say something more, but was interrupted by the arrival of Albus and Minerva, both of which fussed over his tortured form. He did his best to push them away, but to no avail. They refused to listen to what little he could say. The two seemed unable to function properly, which was even more surprising than Potter using an unforgivable. Potter on the other hand seemed to be the only one capable of acting rationally. He found himself being levitated onto a stretcher and realized that was the spell Potter muttered before the two fussbudgets arrived. Once settled on the stretcher the entire group made their way swiftly to the Infirmary where they were promptly thrown out by Poppy. He uncharacteristically let the witch fuss over him and he could feel her worried frown focused on him.
"It'll be all right, Severus." She told him with a gently placed hand on his shoulder.
"It won't be, Poppy. I know that there's nothing you can do for my eyes and without them I cannot do my work. I cannot brew nor teach." Severus replied in a defeated tone.
