Crescent Moon - J. Whitlock

SEVENTEEN

—— "Why weren't you at Bella's graduation?!" Edward yelled once all the siblings and Aquila made it back to the Cullen house hold.
       "Why are you so stuck on her?" Aquila asked as he told Jasper to go take Sirius to his uncle Emmett and grandfather Sirius.
       "Why don't you care?! She's apart of the family now Aggie! SHE's DONE NOTHING TO YOU!" Edward said as Aquila saw red.
       "you say what now... 'she's done. nothing to me...'?" Aquila said quietly as she looked at the ground. "Who's wedding we're you at on 22nd of June, beacuse it sure as hell wasn't mine. What to know why Edward? BECAUSE YOUR DUMBASS OF A BLOOD SINGER RUINED IT." Aquila yelled as Jasper, who was in the other room, covered Sirius' (III) ears while Sirius (II) and Emmett tried to distract the young boy.
      "She has been nothing but kind." Edward defended his blood singer. "And it's not like she caused too much trouble." Edward started but he was pushed across the room.
      "First, she outed us, then made Jasper loose control, than she made my family leave, then she ruined MY WEDDING!" Aquila yelled she was in the verge of tears.
      "That wasn't her fault." Edward said as Aquila's body filled with blind rage.
      "No Edward. It's yours, one day you'll learn that Bella's not your real mate, when you realize that Bella isn't your soulmate, you'll realize that you were wrong the whole time." Aquila said as glared to Edward before Aquila got up and walked away. "REDUCTO." Aquila yelled as Edward went flying out the door.

Maybe it wasn't the way I yelled at
him or the way I glared. Maybe
it wasn't the way I threw him
across the room. But
I scared him, and
he deserved
it.

—— Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Aquila slowly walked into the castle. That's when Aquila saw something in the corner, she took in a sharp breath. "Aggie?" Hermione asked as she saw tears swell in Aquila's eyes.
"Remus, Tonks." Aquila said as she ran to the couple and hugged them tight. It was to light both of them were cold, Hermione watched as Aquila cried into Remus' shirt. Both Tonks and Remus had taken Aquila in when she ran away in her fifth year then when Sirius died Remus took care of her and made sure she stayed alive. Now her parental figures were dead.
"Aggie..." Hermione said as she tried to pull Aquila off the ground.
"No, no! They can't be dead." Aquila said as Hermione tried to pull the older girl off her.
"There gone... Aquila." Hermione said as she finally pulled Aggie off of Remus and into a hug.
          "REMUS!" Aquila shouted as all the Cullens were downstairs, Sirius sleeping in the guest room. All of them were preparing for Bella and Edward's wedding. Aquila's eyes filled with tears as she cried into her hands, she thought the nightmares had ended. There was running, loud, anxious running.
         "Aggie!?" It was Jasper, he was running and bursted into the room. Seeing her so broken made his heart shatter. "It's okay, it's not real." Jasper whispered in Aquila's ear.
        "Jasper, do the nightmares ever go away?" Aquila quietly asked as she stared off into space. "I watched as the Volturi side with Voldemort and fight against all of my friends. I watched them drain my siblings dry...." Aquila said as she thought back to Angelina Johnson's
        Angelina's body was mangled and tarnished with red blood that shimmered in the moon light. "Aggie." Angelina said quietly as she held out for Aquila.
        "Angie." Aquila as she bent down, dogging a large spider in the process. "What is it."
       "Thank you." Angelina said before her body went limp.
       "Angie? Angie!!" Aquila said, she didn't know what became of her older sister. "Angelina!" Aquila yelled in distresses.
        "Angelina Johnson, she was my honorary big sister. I met her in first year. She was there when I got my first period, my first boyfriend, my first heartbreak. She taught me how to do my makeup, she taught me how to play quidditch and how to fight off the boys that messed with me." Aquila said as she stared at the blanket that covered her legs.

      A smaller version of Aquila marked through and into the great hall. Many names were calls until Aquila heard her name. "Black, Aquila." MacGonagall called, it was famous mass murder's daughter. There were plenty of whispers, but none were more clear than her cousins.
"I SWEAR ILLA IF YOU DON'T GET SORTED INTO SLYTHERN," Draco Malfoy yelled as he was hit on the head by a older student.
"Ahh, Miss Black. It's a pleasure to meet you. Now, it seems you are nervous, yet you have a brave soul. I know just were to put you." The spurting hat said into Aquila's ear as she sat anxiously on a chair. "GRYFFINDOR." The hat yelled and none cheered, expect for two.
"WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE." Someone yelled before getting hit by a girl.
"OVER HERE!" A girl with dark skin yelled, smiling and waving young Aquila over.
"She was the first person other than Harry to expect me. Ron was nervous and Hermione had never heard of my father." Aquila said as Jasper just listened to her talk.
        "Mom; are you okay?" Sirius asked as he came into the room. He is looked sleepy and seemed to be concerned fit his mother.
         "Of course baby. Now get some sleep, Bella's wedding is in two days." Aquila said as Sirius climbed into bed next to Aquila and Jasper.
         "Good night mom. I love you." Sirius said as Aquila felt the new baby, kick in her stomach.
         "I love you more. Good night Siri." Aquila whispered as Sirius fell right to sleep, Jasper leaning on the witch's shoulder.
         "Stop kicking your mom, she's done a lot for you." Jasper said quietly as he held his wife close.
