War Of Hearts | Remus Lupin

2. Knockturn Alley

MEGAERA WAS BRUSHING THROUGH HER HAIR ABSIMENTALY. Her mind was everywhere except in her task at hand, as always. The black haired witch has felt as if she was on autopilot lately, reliving the same old torturous routine. She hated the summer holidays.

Alecto and Megaera were to start school not until a couple of days still they needed to get their school supplies.

The Carrow's dinning room was the definition of elegant. Floor to ceiling windows adorned the walls, a big black oak twenty seater table in the middle, and an impressive chandelier above.

While Megaera was drinking her morning tea and Alecto was stuffing her face with an English Muffin, Amycus was sound asleep upstairs.

Their father announced that today they would make a short trip, as a family, down to Knockturn Alley.

Megaera's stomach churned at her father's words.

She had have the luck of not meeting the Dark Lord yet, and she planned not to do it anytime soon. Even though she knew she would have to meet him one day, even get branded with the dark mark, she liked to think that that day wouldn't come anytime soon.

Thankfully for her, her mother butted in and established the business they would be doing there.

They wouldn't be meeting the Dark Lord, but they would be meeting fellow death eaters.

Diagon Alley was busy today, considering that school was just around the corner, and just like the Carrow family, a lot of wizards decided to do some school shopping.

The Carrow siblings stood admist the crowd, dressed in black clothing and with black cloaks.

"We'll be going first to the meeting" their father announced. After receiving nods of confirmation from his family, Megaera's more halfhearted than everyone else's, they began to make their way to the entrance of Knockturn Alley.

Megaera started to search the mass of people, not looking for anyone in particular, she already knew that Lily had bought her school supplies the moment she had gotten her school list.

While looking through the crowd, she spotted him and annoyance rang through her veins.

Tall, lanky, chestnut hair, and scarred face. Remus fucking Lupin.

Megaera looked around and quickly not only spotted, but heard the group of baboons near him.

Megaera didn't know if she should be rather impressed or annoyed that she could hear them clearly, even though they were in the middle of a big crowd.

They were that  loud.

"Oi!, But I want to go to Flourish and Blots!".

"Prongs you don't even like that store! You only want to go there because Lily said it was her favourite store."

"I do not!"

"You do!"

Immature gits, Megaera thought while rolling her eyes and passing past them, trying not to get behind her family's long strides.

Remus stopped paying attention to James and Sirius when he spotted a group of individuals with black expensive cloaks. Only to find them making their way to the entrance of Knockturn Alley.
