Augusta Longbottom
Janus Thickey Ward, St. Mungies Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
November 5, 1981
'LET ME SEE MY FUCKING CHILDREN!' Augusta screamed, losing the little self-control she had been maintaining since she disapparated the night before with Neville.
'Ma'am-' one of the healers attempted to disarm her, but she slapped him clean on the cheek.
'WHERE ARE THEY?'
'Madam Longbottom-'
'WHERE ARE MY FUCKING CHILDREN? WHERE ARE ALICE AND FRANK?'
'Augusta!' a gruff voice called. Turning she saw the grim face of Alastor Moody.
'Where are Frank and Alice?' She asked immediately, abandoning all formalities.
'Augusta-'
'Where are they Alastor? Where are my children?' Augusta interrupted.
'They're being treated too,' Moody confessed under her terrifying stare, 'but-'
'Take me to them!' she ordered.
'You have to understand, they are in no fit state-'
'I don't care. Take me to them!'
'No,' Alastor stated firmly, 'Augusta, I am sorry, but the two are going to have life long effects on what happened last night.'
'Like what?' Augusta whispered, bracing herself for impact.
'They have been reduced to a shell of their former selves. Much like the effects of a Dementors kiss, though I say that would be kinder,' Alastor revealed sadly, 'I am so sorry.' Augusta closed her eyes to stop the tears from falling.
'W-what happened?' she managed to choke out.
'A group of death eaters tortured them to insanity, courtesy of the cruciatus curse. They have of course been arrested.' Moody answered readily.
'C-can I see them?' Moody nodded, seeing she had calmed down, and pushed open the door to the Janus Thickey Ward. Augusta covered her mouth to stop the sob that threatened to escape her.
'Frank...' rushing to her son's side, she held his face in her hands, scanning his face. His eyes were unfocused, and a confused smile flitted across his face feebly at the sight of his mother's face, triggering not much more than a vague memory. Glancing across at Alice, Augusta realised she was in the same state, sucking on a piece of gum and smiling slowly to herself. Augusta couldn't stop the sobs from escaping her as she pulled Frank close.
'I'm sorry Frankie, Al. I'll look after Neville, I promise.'
