"Then they came up with this new idea, a new way to hurt me, thinking that it might work. They made Draco do it. I think they were punishing him a bit, too, because he really didn't want to. Not because of anything noble, he just didn't like me very much. So it was an act to shame him, too. They had to give him a special potion so he could do it. And he did ... a few times. It hurt a lot, but I still couldn't tell them anything. Then you and Harry and Ron turned up and that poor little elf saved us."
