I woke with a start, a bead of sweat running down my forehead. I look around and see the dark walls surrounding me. It had been 3 months since the war and im still haunted by the events that took place. My breathing heavy , I try to recognize my surroundings.

Where am i?
Oh, right. The Nott manor.

Flash back
2 and a half months ago.

My head was spinning. My heart was beating in my throat. My eyes were looking around, not being able to focus on anything.

"Azrael? Are you listening to me?"

His voice seeped back into my head and i tried to remember what we were talking about.

"I'm sorry Mr Nott, can you repeat that?"

The Nott family had good ties with the Ashford family. I'm sure he's only doing it because of his relationship with my parents, not because he felt sympathy.

My thoughts being verified, i saw how the burly man's eyes raked up and down my body with disgust clear in his eyes.

" i said, Why don't you stay at the Nott manor until you find yourself able to have access to your parent's will."

Again, the hate sparked in his eyes.

"Yes i would very much like that."
I would not like that. But Theo would make it bearable. Im glad i have him.

"Very well, i will send for Theodore once you have gathered all your belongings. You will apparate to the Nott manor and we will arrange a room for you."

I nodded, starting to blank out again. I watched as Tiberius apparated away.

I walked to a nearby bench and sat down. Rethinking all that had happened in the past week.

Oh, nothing much. My parents were killed by voldemort. I had found out that they'd been deatheaters my entire life and i didn't even find out until after they were killed. They betrayed him to save me. Not a bother at all. My life is all sunshine and rainbows. I wouldn't be surprised if i saw a cow jump over the moon.

I grimaced and stared down at my shoes, zoning out. I pulled out a cigarette and pushed it between my lips, using wandless magic to light it. I took a hit and felt the smoke fill my lungs.

I decided that i didn't want to think about anything right now. I walked to a nearby muggle bar and sat down, asking a bartender for a drink.
