[bouncy] - draco
part of dorrito's every flavour mood beans.

They had thought him only bitter words, nothing to fear, and so they had turned away. He tried proving them wrong, throwing curses as their laughter faded, until suddenly he was changed, small and terrified, flung from floor to ceiling and back. It continued for years or mere moments, and then he was lying on the cold stone under their burning stares.

He pulled himself to his feet, though his body was racked with pain. It was a miracle that nothing had broken, wizard blood notwithstanding. He submitted to Moody's authority begrudgingly.

He is resilient. They shall not break him.

Would it hurt the piece to be all present? Best of luck, whichever direction you end up with, and again, many thanks for sharing something so enjoyable to read.
