Draco's arm still hurt where his mother's hand had closed around it, pushing him through the door just seconds before the Dark Lord's return. He didn't know how long he'd been there, in the dark, trying to ignore everything: Wormtail's dead body in the corner; the chains dangling from Ollivander's empty cell; the sound of his parents upstairs, paying for having let Potter escape.
She came for him afterwards and tried to still his fingers as they curled and uncurled, grasping futilely at the thing he had wanted most -- Potter's hands, tossing aside the wand, and taking him instead.
