tw: death of children, adults, infants and the elderly, arson, abuse.

The day went by fast, I spent the school day with my friends but left lessons for the rest of the day earlier than everyone else, considering I had a whole village to kill.

With a sigh, I used my floo powder and stepped into the small common room fireplace. The wind around me gushed and blew my hair up, before I finally arrived in the village.

It was very lively, loads of children and their parents preparing for Christmas, collecting presents, decorations, food, allsorts.

The sky was pure white, and I could notice slight bits of snow falling down. Lots of little children tried to catch snowflakes on their tongues. They all looked so happy, but a task is a task.

With a flick of my wand, buildings with families inside were burning. I used a spell to cover my face in case anybody hear worked for the Ministry, and then continued to burn different houses and small-town shops down.

Yells and screams surrounded me, everybody running away from me, yet they were unsuccessful because every time someone tried, I'd say the magic words and watch as a green light flashed from my wand, before their lifeless body fell backwards.

The town was no longer lively, the snow was no longer piled on the floor. It was replaced by sorrowful please, begs for their life, and families crying out. The snow that was once pure white was replaced with burnt black ash.

The scent of fire and smoke filled my scents, and I lavished in it. Eventually, after about 10 minutes of me burning every different building, whether a house, a shop or a business, in sight, the cries had died down.

The whole floor was piled with different bodies, making it hard for me to find anyone who could be faking. I knew a spell that would make anyone alive glow to me.

I casted it and there were 4 people. Two pretending to be dead, one hiding in the town's well, and the other hiding in a bush.

Using both of my hands, I burned the well and the bush down at the same time, killing both of the people. I then scanned the area again, and noticed the two 'dead' people.

I walked around, pretending I hadn't noticed, before using my wand and killing the blond child, she was about 8. I had killed her family anyway, it was better for her to be dead. The last person stayed as still as possible, hoping it was just because the girl who I had just killed was so young that she couldn't stay still, but I just smirked as I pointed my wand to the 20 year old, or so, lady.

"Wait! You work for the Dark Lord! Am I correct?" she asked, raising her eyebrows as she sat up.

"You are," I cocked an eyebrow, once again trying to kill her. "I knew his son! He was in love with me. Then he just... left. I'm telling you now, if you're doing this because Mattheo told you to, you're an idiot. He made me wipe an entire city out too, before leaving me for dead."

I laughed loudly, cackling at her pathetic excuse to try and live, "If Mattheo told me to, I wouldn't. He doesn't control me; his father does. What's your name?" I seethed.

"Lucinda Bonnett, lovely to meet you. I don't have time for introductions, but bring the name up to Mattheo and see how he reacts; in-fact, take me to Mattheo," she suggested, her hair messy.
