PROTECT THOSE WHO CAN'T FOR THEMSELVES

ELOISE MICHAELS
I wake up from the tossing and turning of Lorenzo, "Enzo, are you okay?"

The room is still dark and I can only just read the clock, '4:36am'.

"You know how you told me years ago about your way of telling when bad omens are coming? Bellatrix, she can feel those who are currently carrying a hardship. I felt it when I touched Lucille, something is wrong," He whispered nervously.

"I had a vision of Draco in the St Mungo's corridor," I admitted. "Something is most definitely wrong". 

"What did you see?" Lorenzo turned on his side to face me.

"We were in St Mungo's. I was hugging him and he was sobbing. I didn't see much. I'm not too sure what to make of what I saw anyways. I've never had visions before," I whispered.

"You could ask your Mother?" Lorenzo suggested. "But St Mungo's? Did you see anyone else?"

Before I could answer, suddenly an owl starts pecking at the window with a letter in its beak. Lorenzo walks out of bed and slides open the window, taking the letter out of its mouth.

"It says our names on it," He muttered. 

L O R E N Z O   B E R K S H I R E   &  E L O I S E   M I C H A E L S

[OPEN IMMEDIATELY]

There's wax sealed over the top embroidered with the letter 'M'. The Malfoys.

He opens it in a rush as I lean over his shoulder to read it with him.

Dearest Lorenzo Berkshire and Eloise Michaels ,

I apologize for waking you up at such a late time, but I sense that Lorenzo hasn't been able to sleep, either. I need you to come to the Manor immediately. This cannot wait- please use the Silver Spoon Port Key and move fast as soon as you put this letter down. Get rid of this letter. Do whatever you have to do.

Eloise. Your mother has contacted me as well and will arrive to the manor shortly too.

I believe the gifts you and Lorenzo share will benefit us or help to explain what is happening to our family.

Only you two come. Don't bring anyone else.

Cordially yours,

Narcissa Malfoy.

I snatch the letter out of Enzo's hands and rip it into pieces, throwing it in his bin. Lorenzo ran to is drawer to get the port-key and I grab my wand quickly. I hold onto him closely as we swirl through the air, my insides churning.

We safely land outside the manor and run inside. We couldn't waste time.

"Narcissa?" Lorenzo called out.

No answer.

"Where are you?" I shouted, waiting for an answer.

"I'm in the dining hall," Her voice was hoarse, on the edge of breaking.

Lorenzo grabs my hand as we walk into the room together. Narcissa was sat at the head of the table with a glass of bourbon. My mother occupied the seat next to hers, her hand rested on Cissy's shoulder. 

"Eloise, Lorenzo," My mother spoke softly, standing from her seat to hug us both. "Come sit down, my loves".

Lorenzo sat beside Narcissa and I sat down next to my Mother.  I was getting really nervous. What the fuck was happening?
