It was dark outside (well from whatever he could see from the tiny window) and he sighed. Chances were that Neville was now aware that he was missing and was possibly freaking out. If there was one thing Matthew hated, it was to scare Neville and twice within the same month was just not a good thing.
His arms were still tightly tied up to the ceiling of his cell and his legs were threatening to give in at this point. It had been dark for a while so Matt knew he had been there for a while.
The door opened the a woman walked in, a wolfish smirk on her lips. She waved at a cloaked man behind her and he closed the door, leaving them together. "Well, well, well.. the little Mudblood bastard locked up in a cage.. like the animal he is." she growled, the satisfaction loud and clear in her tone. "I am Alecto. You probably don't know me, unless your.." Alecto made a disgusted face and swallowed for fear of being sick right in front of Matthew. "Has told you about his last year at Hogwarts."
Of course Matt had heard about Neville's last year here and there. It wasn't something that came around often as a topic of conversation but Matt knew enough to not bring up the Carrows.
As Matt grew slightly nervous in her presence, Alecto licked her lips in delight.. but not the same kind of delight he loved to see in Neville's eyes. She brought out her wand and walked around Matthew, who was still standing in the middle of his cell. A swift move and Matt yelled out, a loud and sharp cracking sound resonating in the empty room.
"Only you can make it stop, Matthew." She said on a tone that, if Matt didn't know better, could have been mistaken for care. "Longbottom was and still is an idiot, Matthew. He thought he could take us on. Thought he could drive us away from what is rightfully ours to give it to," And other cracking sound covered by Matt's voice, yelling in pain. "Mudbloods." Alecto leaned in, her lips very, very close to Matthew's ears. "He makes a poor Auror, you know.. he let down his guard.. thought we wouldn't find you.." Searing pain rushed through Matthew's body was Alecto scratched down his back over the 'whip slashes' she had just made with her wand, so he screamed, shaking.
