"I can't help it that I'm so irresistible!"

"Well, Electra you have screwed up. I'm not gonna lie to you." Perseus said and sat next to his sister.

The two siblings were sitting in the astronomy tower of Hogwarts. It was a sweet night. The air was slowly caressing their hair and the only light was coming from the full moon and the stars. In the silence of the night the only thing that was heard was the howling of a certain werewolf coming from afar. The boys wouldn't be back until the sun was about to rise and until then Electra was trying to pass her time without thinking of Lily and what she had said to her. Her words did not address her but they had the same gravity.

She looked at the stars above their heads and then turned to face her brother "Do you think that she'll ever forgive me?"

"El you've been avoiding her for days! Even if she wanted to forgive you, you wouldn't know that!" Perseus said at his sister who was exaggerating as always when the simplest inconvenience was happening. "I'm curious... If something terrible happens, like dying, what are you going to do?"

"I guess I'll have you to comfort me..." She looked at him smiling and he returned the smile. Yes he was going to be there to comfort her no matter what would happen. "But I'll also try to keep my shit together." She laughed

"Apart from fun promise me that you won't fall apart Electra!" Perseus said addressing her with her full name like he was doing when he was being serious. The girl narrowed her eyebrows and looked at him questioningly.

"This is not about Lily, isn't it? What's going on?" Her brother lost his smile that was previously lighting up his face and turned sceptical. For a minute he thought that maybe she shouldn't be bothered with such stuff but he also knew that no one else was going to inform her. Well at least their parents wouldn't...

"Terrible things are happening in the wizarding world Electra." He spoke taking his eyes off his younger sister  "And even more hideous things are about to happen. Do you remember our conversation during summer holidays? When the Blacks came to our house? These things that were happening back then were only the beginning."

Electra looked at her brother without talking. Every word of his was carved onto her soul. They were on the verge of war according to her brother. From the one minute to another it could began. And according to Perseus this war wasn't going to break out suddenly. The small attacks would continue until the Dark Lord decided that his army was ready. And not only the muggles but the Muggleborns, the half-bloods and the blood traitors too would be in danger.

"He's recruiting everyone from a good, pureblood family. His army would be huge one day and he will be unbeatable. Muggles and wizards we'll be killed every day. He'll strike like a virus and just like one he'll lead thousands of people to the threshold of death. This is going to be a war. And this time we're going to be in the middle of it. Hopefully we'll manage to stop him before it's too late."

"What do you mean we? Pers! Are you going to fight against him?" The boy didn't reply he glanced at her and then back at the stars letting out a deep breath. He nodded. He knew what she was going to say. He knew that she would try to prevent him from doing it but he had made up his mind. And that was the first time he was wrong about his sister. "And what are you going to do with your dream of becoming a professor of care of Magical Creatures?"

The boy looked at her surprised. "I'm afraid that the only way we can save them too is by fighting... Until then they'll have to live with my absence!" He joked and the girl smiled at him.

"I'll join you Pers!"

The boy shook his head negatively. "No you won't. At least not now."

"I'm glad you said that last one. Because I'm not leaving you alone. You're not the only protective member of the family."
