Cass sighed. 'No, I most definitely does not want to stay,' he said, shaking his head. He might think this was crazy, but it wasn't more crazy than staying here one moment more than he had to.
'Trust me, there is no level of pain I would not endure to be able to go home with you, and besides, after being put through the Cruciatus - twice no less - well lets just say this can't very well be worse.'
Not that it couldn't come pretty close, but he didn't add that. Instead he squeezed Percy's hand. 'I'll be fine,' he assured him, using quite a bit of his strength to simply sit up, clenching his jaws to not let Percy in on just how much pain it caused. Yeah, this was not going to be easy.
