⚠️mentions of blood, murder⚠️

it had been a few days since the incident with cormac. toby now had a job at the shop with us and today was our one day of the week where we aren't open. everyone had gone downstairs to get deliveries in whilst i was cleaning the flat upstairs.

" y/n, y/n come quickly! " i heard lee shout up the stairs, his voice shaking as i got up and ran out to him. " what's happened? are you okay? what-" i stopped everything suddenly as i saw a little girl in george's arms, screaming and crying. enola. she was covered in blood. my pulse quickened and a million thoughts ran through my head. she looked up at me and escaped from george's hold, jumping into my arms instead as i picked her up and held her close to me. " m-mummy. she- she's dead " she cried as i felt my heart drop and my eyes water. " maxy's gone ". " maxy? " george questioned quietly. " maxwell, her brother " i replied as my voice broke. " he's outside, with helena " fred whispered as he moved aside and i saw a boy. " sweetheart, i need you to go back to george for a while, okay? i'll find max ". i kissed her temple lightly and let my lips linger over it whilst i hushed her before handing her back to george.

i ran outside with fred and my eyes immediatly set on the boy again. he was sat on the floor and cradling a limp body. " mum! mum please! we need you! i need you!" he screamed at the top of his lungs as tears cascased down his face. i jogged over to him and saw the woman. helena. he let out another heart wrenching scream as i knelt down beside him and he latched himself onto me immediatly, holding me tightly as i rubbed his back- letting him sob into my chest. " enola, is she alright? please t-tell me she's safe ". " she's in the shop, sweetheart. she's okay " i replied as he sighed a breath of relief and attempted to wipe his eyes. " come on, mate. come inside and see her, she needs you " fred said softly, both of us helping him up as we walked him through the doors.

fred locked the door behind us and closed the blinds as i walked max around the corner to his little sister. as soon as she saw him, she hugged him as max fell on his knees as they cried into each other. i released a deep breath i didn't know i was holding and walked round to george. "  what are we going to do?" he asked quietly, wrapping his arms around me. i shrugged, unable to form any words and hugged him back tightly. " i love you " i whispered as the tears that had been stinging my eyes began to fall. i turned around and rested my back on his chest, his arms still wrapped around me as max spoke to his little sister. " remember the song mummy always used to sing to us? do you want to sing it? " he asked as enola nodded and he chuckled slightly, dipping his head before beginning to sing softly, his voice quaking with every word. " blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly, all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise ". i took a deep, shaky breath. mother and father used to sing this to us. i smiled at the thought and walked over to them and crouching down and beginning to sing with them. " blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see, all your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free. blackbird fly, blackbird fly, into the light of a dark black night. mum and dad used to sing that to us as kids before... it doesn't matter " my smile faltered and my voice trailed off. " i'll be back soon " i spoke again as i got up and walked to the door with my head hung low whilst i unlocked the door and walked out, making my way to helena's body. 

" oh my. who did this to you, angel? " i said softly, knowing she couldn't hear me. her face was sunken and her lips slightly parted. her eyes just stared up into the starry night sky, empty; the deep love you had once been able to see she had for her children, no longer showing. instead, the love had been covered with an unrecognizable expression with no light left for her still, fragile heart to conceal any longer. my eyes scanned her body; the slashes all over her, the blood staining her once warm clothes. how, in this world, were her children going to manage being without their mother? i mean, it was hard enough but i knew i had people. even if they weren't always the nicest like aunt cass or even if they represented the sun like the weasley family, i still had people. but max and enola had no one, no doubt they'll want to leave at some point or max will want to take enola and make their own path in this cruel world. 

i stayed out with her for a few moments more before going back inside and finding everybody had left the shop. i stalked up the stairs to flat and was relieved to hear voices. i opened the door quietly and made my way in, walking to fred and pulling him away by his arm. " hey what's wrong? " he asked quietly, taking my hands in his as he rubbed his thumbs over them." it was sectumsempra. it's a curse that creates slashes over your body and if you're left with no care then you'll eventually bleed to death. i read it in a book back in school " i whispered as max and enola were sleeping on the sofa- max laying on his back with enola resting on his chest. " shit " he mumbled as he looked out of the window next to us. " what are we supposed to do with her body? people are going to be here tomorrow and they're all going to see her " i sighed as hugged me. " we'll figure something out, alright? we'll write to the st mungo's porters or someone- actually we best do it now before someone else finds her ". he rushed over to the table as i followed, grabbing him his glasses off the side cabinet and handing them to him as he began to write. " thanks " he chuckled placing them on the bridge of his knows and looking down at the paper, scribbling words on the parchment before sending it off.
