"Stupid, arrogant woman."
Voldemort roared, then stepped back and knocked on the door. Before long, Mad-Eye opened the cell door.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"She won't say anything. Hmph, stupid woman. He's been brainwashed by the Dark Lord."

They talked for quite a while before Mad-Eye finally left. Voldemort tried speaking with some Dementors again, but he
