DEAD OF NIGHT WAS WHEN NOVA AWOKE, shaken awake by a stony faced elliot. behind him stood clementine, her face streaked with tears.
nova sat up faster than she ever had in her life (which definitely says a lot about the situation) and hopped out of bed.
"what's wrong?" she asks, all of a sudden alert.
"death eaters." her father responded, passing nova her wand. she took it mindlessly.
of course. death eaters loved to terrorize the wizarding world, especially when there was so many spectators — many of which were muggles, a death eater's favorite plaything.
"claire!" nova suddenly gasped. "is she —?"
"she'll be safe. the weasleys are with her." elliot said firmly.
"you've got to go help, haven't you?" nova realized that the expression on her parent's faces held a hidden determination.
"amos already left. cedric's waiting in the kitchen. you two need to stick together, okay? run towards the forest, and protect each other." clementine spoke up, gently placing her cold and clammy hand against nova's cheek.
nova's heart was beating miles per minute, thousands of negative thoughts flooding her mind, but she nodded. everything felt so rushed, so out of order. just hours ago she was watching people fly on brooms, for fucks sake! how could things change so quickly?
"don't worry about me." she smiled weakly, pulling both her parents into a rare hug.
they pulled away and were halfway out the tent when nova called after them.
"wait —!" nova paused as they turned to look back at her. "i love you guys."
because this could very well be the last time she could ever say those words to their faces.
"we love you too." elliot said softly as clementine burst into tears.
and with a swirl of his cape and a pop, they were gone.
nova wiped furiously at the tears welling up in her eyes, rushing into the kitchen. just as her parents said, there stood cedric, his face anguished and frightened, foot tapping unsteadily against the tiled floor.
"nova." he said breathlessly as he caught sight of her.
"we don't have time. let's go." nova grabbed his hand (under normal circumstances, she'd rather have died, but this was very serious and not at all a time to be thinking of death) and they ran outside.
it was utter chaos. nova's heart beat rapidly against her ribcage as crowds of people ran in every direction, screams and cries echoing throughout the now wrecked campsite.
