Unwilling to allow herself to scream out in case Antonin came running in, demanding that he stop, she bit her bottom lip to hold it in. What was a large amount of pain for a short period of time compared to a lifetime trapped in her own mind? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. She wouldn't allow Rodolphus to win.
