I turn over in my bed and I feel Theo's hand move on my hip after laying there a minute I get the sense someone is staring at me so I open my eyes slowly as my head is killing me and I come face to face with Tom, he must of gotten in the bed as well last night 'you look rough, do you want a coffee' he asks and I look at him confused, why is he being nice to me 'you know coffee best thing for a hang over' he whispers trying not to wake the other two I nod my head and he climbs out of bed, I roll over and as I stand my head spins again causing me to wobble a little, Toms hand shoots out and grabs my arm to steady me, we both quietly leave the room leaving the other two snoring their heads off and we head down stairs. Half way down the stairs my head spins again and I feel Tom link our arms to stop me falling down the stairs, Tom heads to the kitchen and I head to the bathroom, I was worried about using mine as I didn't want to wake everyone. Once I do my business I head to the kitchen and grab a glass of water to drink 'wait, take this I've played about with these and they seem to cure a hang over within 20 minutes of taking them' he hands me a pill and I look at it, I see he has one of his own and he takes it with a glass of water. Fuck it anything has to be better than how I'm feeling right now so I throw the tablet back and I wash it down with water after I see the coffees are made and Tom is walking to the back door so I follow him and we end up sat on the garden bench with the coffees on the table in front of us, Tom pulls some cigarettes out and offers me one 'I can't my parents might see me' I say 'don't worry about that they aren't even home' Tom says and he pulls one out and hands it to me 'how do you know that' I ask as he lights his lighter and holds it to me 'oh I woke up at 6 and heard them downstairs they left about half an hour ago probably to get everything sorted out with my father' he says and he lights his own 'do you love Mattheo' he asks and I sit there for a second not really sure where this is heading 'yes I do' I answer 'can I ask you something' I say 'you already have' he chuckles 'but go on' 'why are you being nice to me' I ask and he turns to head to look at me 'I'm guessing Mattheo painted me as the big bad brother' he says and I nod my head.
'I was always tough on Mattheo because that was how I was brought up, Father would push me harder and harder so I did it to Mattheo but I wasn't as bad as Father I tried to spare him from that. When I was 13 and he was 9 I remember over hearing an argument between Bellatrix and Father, see we always called her mum as we thought she was our mum but I heard father screaming at her telling her she was to soft on us boys and she needs to remember her place and she was not our mother, she was the one who was meant to be moulding us into mini hims. I remember asking her who our mum was and all she said was that Father had used a love potion on her when she had fallen pregnant with me and that she had agreed to having another baby as long as he took care of us. We lived with her until Mattheo was born and then Father had her killed as she was no longer of any use to him, he wiped my memory of her and Mattheo was a newborn when she died so he wouldn't remember her even if he wanted to' he drops his cigarette butt into a ashtray on the table, since when had that been out here 'I remember when I asked Bellatrix about the love potion and she gave me a book to read up about it, because I was conceived when the love potion was being used I was born without the ability to love or the ability to feel loved, I was so jealous of Mattheo when I learnt that. He loved Bellatrix and I could see that but I couldn't so I told him everything and that she wasn't our mother but now I look back at it I regret a lot of stuff I did to Mattheo, I was so jealous that one day he would find love and settle down with someone and start a family, but now that's all I want for him and I have to say he couldn't of found better even if you are a Malfoy' he says laughing and I laugh back, he bumps his shoulder into mine and we both drink our coffees.
I head back upstairs after to my room and the boys have gone, I head into the bathroom expecting to see theo but he wasn't there so I decide to have a shower once I'm done I wrap my towel around my hair and I put my dressing gown on and I head into my room to find Theo sitting on my bed 'where were you' I ask 'i nipped home to grab clothes' he says and he stands up and walks over to me 'anyway how you feeling' he ask 'I'm fine what about you' I ask 'oh Tom gave me this pill so I took it now i feel amazing considering, I'm guessing he gave you one when you were having coffee' he says as he walks back over to my bed and I look down at the floor 'he asked if I wanted a coffee so I had one with him, he was talking to me' I answer 'I haven't got a problem with you talking to Tom just as long as he doesn't steal you from me' he says chuckling a little 'he was talking to me about himself and you growing up' I say as I go to my wardrobe to pick my clothes out 'so what did he tell you exactly' he asks as he sits on my bed 'just about Bellatrix and the reason he's so harsh to you' I answer honestly, I wasn't going to lie to theo. 'So you know about the love potion and our mother then' he asks 'yeah, tho one thing did click' I say turning to him and he waits for me to explain 'as Bellatrix technically isn't your mother we aren't cousins' I say and theo bursts out laughing and falls back on the bed 'I didn't even think about that, she's...she's your aunt isn't she' he says as he tries to calm himself down from the laughing fit. 'Yep' I say and turn back to getting dressed I grab my legging and a dress top and I throw them on and I brush my hair and I decide to leave it down and damp. I look at the clock and it's 11.30am, theo goes to the bathroom and I hear him turn the shower on so I grab my magic books and I sit on the bed and start to study, after 20 minutes theo comes out of the bathroom and sits down beside me and we study together.
We hear a knock on my door and I shout come in draco enters with a tray and sits down on my bed, he brought us some lunch and drinks as we eat we talk about spells, after we had finished we move the tray off of the bed and I teach Theo and Draco the levitation spell I used on the cabinet after watching them fail for hours they finally get it but they can only hold it for a couple of minutes at a time. I look at the clock and it's 6pm, we grab some food from the kitchen and run back upstairs to get dressed for our task, Tom arrives and comes into my bedroom where the three are us are currently sitting. After 10 more minutes my mother enters with my Father and she's holding some black dress bags and my Father has these black masks in his hand, my mother hands us each a bag, the bags had our names on and we stand placing the bags on my bed and unzip them, we all pull out matching coats the only bit of colour on them is the colour green at the bottom of the cloak it's a line of it. Next my father gives us each a mask, black with gold running through them, my mother helps me put mine on and makes sure it won't fall off, my Father helps Draco and Tom helps Theo, once we are ready my father tells us to follow him and we meet with the dark lord 'children, look at you all, this my followers is the next generation of us' he says rather happily 'right here is the paper, go out side and look at them and I hope to see you back soon' he says and we leave quickly knowing he won't wait all night for us, we get outside and we all look at the paper 'right before anyone goes back in we wait for each other, if one of us isn't back in 15 minutes we will come to find you, once you've got the imagine on your paper in your head put them down in front of you so if anything is to happen we know where you are' Tom says and we all nod at him. I look at my paper and I have the house in my head I'm the first to put the paper down and without looking at the other I close my eyes and Apparate there.
I land in the garden of the home, the house is dark and it doesn't look like anyone is home so I walk to the front door and I try to open it, the handle turns in my hand and I push it open, I'm scared of what's about to happen but I need to do this for all of us so I walk in and a creep along the hallway, I check the living room and kitchen but no one is here so I head upstairs and check the first bedroom as I creep past the open door into the room I look to my left and that's when I feel something hit the side of my head really hard causing me to fall backwards out of the room.I see a dark figure running towards me but I can't make much out as there's a ringing in my ears and I can see stars, I feel the person kick me hard in the side and I roll across the floor trying to get away from them, I know I need to get to my feet to fight them off, so I manage to pull myself to my feet only for the person to charge at me again and they connect with my middle and push me into the wall hard 'your not getting her, she's long gone you piece of shit' a man shouts and I noticed he's got my body pinned to the wall, I manage to reach down into my pocket to get my wand but he notices and pulls me off the wall and spins us and he pushes me away hard as I stumble back i can't get my footing right and I find when I put my foot down there's nothing there and that's when it clicks, he's pushed me towards the stairs and I'm about to fall down them, I manage to throw a quick crucio curse at him as I fall. Everything goes into slow motion and I turn my head a little trying to look for something to grab as the panic sets in and before I know it the side of my face and head hit the stairs, I hit my back on the next roll, I hit my hip, my head again and finally I land at the bottom but as I land my head throws back once more because of the speed I had picked up falling causing my head to throw back hitting the tiled floor at the bottom with a sickening thud. Everything starts to fade to black and I can't keep my eyes open, my body is on fire from pain and I try to move but I hear movement but the front door 'don't move' I hear as everything goes dark.
