Cheers erupted all around me. Tom grabbed me and held me close. I didn't realize I was sobbing, "he wasn't going to stop them from killing our baby. I had to." He smoothed my hair. Hagrid was killed instantly. Different followers shot Harry with the curse to say they helped take Potter down. We approached the school as people filtered out into the sunlight of the new morning. Hogwarts was destroyed in numerous places, the dead bodies no longer littering the ground. Harry's body was thrown onto the ground and set aflame. I heard Ginny scream and people cried. I looked around everyone was defeated in their eyes except Neville. "Longbottom, Granger and Weasley must die now." I whispered to him. He looked at them and silently watched them all three drop dead. "Harry Potter is dead. His cause is dead. Either you join me or die." It was quiet suddenly Ginny screamed with her wand pointed at me, "AVADA KEDAVRA" I blocked it quickly and another battle began. People ran to seek shelter into the castle and we all advanced. Harry's body was almost completely burnt and we entered the castle spells were being thrown everyone and I was hunting for Ginny's life.
She was hiding behind her family in the Great Hall and Bellatrix was on the attack. I joined her as did Lucius. We fought relentlessly and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley fell. I cut through Percy and Bill was on the ground dead with Fleur. George was the only one protecting Ginny. I couldn't bring myself to fight him. He stopped firing and stood there. "Fight me yourself Ginny. You're a coward." She emerged, "I'll kill you and then I'll kill your bastard child." It was on. Neither of us threw simple curses. We were fighting to the death. The hall around us was quiet. No one fought. Ginny was skilled, there was no doubt about that and she was fast. She was growing tired with each nonverbal I threw her way. I muttered a spell and she screamed. I laughed almost as sadistic as Bellatrix. She was on the ground, bleeding from her eyes, her ears, she was choking on her blood as I stood over her, "enjoy drowning on your own blood. I will not grant you the mercy of a quick death. Only a coward threatens a baby, and you Ginny Weasley are a coward."
I turned to George, "you will choose a side now. Mine, or death." He sighed, "I just want to live my life alone." I nodded, "go George." He was gone with a pop. I turned, almost everyone who remained were on their knees. There weren't many. McGonagall was amongst the fallen and my heart fell. Bellatrix was dead. I returned to my husband's side and the Slytherin's were let out of the dungeon and most returned with their parents. "How many did we lose?" "Bellatrix was the only one who fell." I nodded. I turned to Tom and wiped the dirt off his cheek, "I'm going home." He nodded, "I will handle on what's next. Go to Orion." I left with a pop. Home was as if I had never left. I went to the nursery and it was empty. I panicked and screamed, "NARCISSA!" I ran throughout the house and they were gone. Teared streamed down my face. I ran to the gardens and there I found her, face down in the grass, wand out of her hand, she wasn't dead but she was unconscious. There was no sign of Orion. I ran through the entire property, "ORION! ORION!" I listened for any baby cries.
I was hysterical when I returned to Hogwarts. I ran into the castle and ran into Severus, "where is Tom?" "In my office. Why?" "Orion. He's gone. Narcissa was unconscious in the garden. There was a fight." I ran towards the office and he followed hot on my heels, I burst it. "They took him. They took him during the battle. They took our baby." I was hyperventilating. He stood up and never look more dangerous. "FIND HIM NOW!" He ran to me, trying to calm me down. I couldn't breathe. Everything was turning black and I was dizzy, I collapsed. I woke up and it was dark again. It was barely morning and now it was night. I was laying in my bed. I sat up slowly, Tom was distraught over his desk. I could barely whisper, "where is he?" His head shot up, eyes bloodshot as if he was crying. He rushed to me, "we haven't found him. Fenrir was able to get his scent. We found his blanket 300 yards away off the property. Glitz gave her life to save him. We found her bleeding near his blanket. "What?"
"We found her bleeding and trembling. When we asked what happened she said the wards never gave off an alarm nor did the cameras see anything. She heard Narcissa screaming and saw her run with Orion and people were after them. Narcissa was hit with a curse and was knocked unconscious. Glitz tried to take Orion but they shot her with a muggle gun. She's gone. She did say Narcissa battled close to twenty people alone to protect him but it was to much." My heart ached. "Tom we have to find him. He needs my milk. He needs his mummy and daddy." Tears fell down my face. He hugged me closed and smoothed my hair, "I'll kill everyone in my way to return him to you my wife." I sighed, "it's the Order or muggleborns." He nodded. "Tom I need you to find him. I need him and he needs us." He raised my chin and kissed me ever so softly. "We will find him. I won't rest until I do." I nodded and walked away to his nursery. The hallways were busy, people rushing around looking for clues. They moved out of my way, his room, his room was silent.
I looked down at his crib and pulled back the blankets that were neatly still on it almost as if I was expecting to find him there. I looked under his crib, in his closet, the bathroom. His pajamas were laid down on the sink. Cold water was in his tub. She was about to give him a bath when they were attacked. I walked out and went to the bedroom Narcissa was still unconscious. Lucius was beside her, "is there any change?" He shook his head. "I'm sorry. It's my fault. I asked her to keep him. If she bad been with us-" "No. If anyone else was here he would be dead. We would be finding his body. I will not blame you. We will find him and I will kill whoever hurt my wife." I nodded. I kissed her forehead and went to my parlor. It hadn't been much during my pregnancy. There covered in blood was his little mint green overalls he was in when I left. I screamed. People came running I stood there horrified. "They've came back I cleared this room myself." I looked at Tom. They were here undetected while we were all here.
He grabbed my arm and we were gone with a pop. We were in a different home one I had never seen. "Where are we?" "Albania." "Why?" "This is my safe house. No one knows it exists. Only me. There's no magical signature, it's hidden. This is where I hid after your brother destroyed me." I nodded, "Tom why are we here?" "You're staying here until I get to the bottom of this. I can't lose you both. They knew you'd eventually go into every room. There is someone amongst us we cannot trust." I nodded. He kissed me, "I've already brought clothes and food here for you. Try to rest. There will be no elves. No one." I nodded. He was gone with a pop. It was a small cottage. Similar to the one I lived in with Severus almost a year ago when we found out we were having our girl. When we were happy until Tom set his sights on me. I absentmindedly rubbed my stomach. I've lost two babies this past year both stolen me in some fashion. Was I cursed to not have my children? I went to the bath and washed the war off of me.
I sat until the water was cold. I had refreshed it with magic numerous times. I saw the sun begin to rise and I wrapped myself in a towel and dried off and grabbed leggings and a thin sweater and wore my slippers. I laid down and slowly drifted off to sleep. I woke up and my stomach growled. The sun was gone again, I slept the whole day away. I went to get food and something beat on the door. The house was hidden, maybe an animal? "We know you're in there. He couldn't hide you from us just like he couldn't hide your baby boy. Come now Orion wants to see his mummy." I panicked. Who are they? How did they find me. My boy. The door flew off the hinges and I was gone with a pop. I found myself in George's shop. The alley outside was quiet. I walked upstairs to the flat the brothers shared and it was unlocked. I went inside. "Why are you here?" I turned to George, "someone took my son. Left his bloody clothes. He took me to Albania to hide and they found me. I just I came here."
"Who are they?" I shook my head, "the voice was like one out of a nightmare." He nodded. "George what has this war done to us?" He held me close in a hug and we both cried until we couldn't anymore. "I will help you. Help keep you safe and help you hide. I want to check your wand." I nodded. He ran some spells on it, "there's no trace of anything tracking your magical signature." I nodded. Two days passed and I wanted to get word to Tom so badly but we were afraid. On the third day, Justin Flint-Fletchley knocked on the shop doors. "Here go under the floorboards. I have uhm well not authorized magical objects that will not allow you to be found." I nodded and did as I was told. He muttered a complicated signature eraser spell and opened the door. "How are you Weasley?" "I'm just trying to lay low Justin. What can I do for you?" "A bunch of us have created a new group. To fight them and restore balance. That Potter Bitch killed your sister, your whole family is dead because of her and her evil husband and her baby." "I heard her baby is missing. Death Eaters been making rounds." Justin let out a chuckle, "he's definitely missing or well he's under safe keeping." George laughed and snorted, "bitch has what's coming to her." I knew he was acting but it hurt. I was trying to maintain self control, "so about this group Justin?" Justin shook his hand, "I knew I could count on you George Weasley." "Justin, the baby, he's going to die isn't he?" "Yes. We're gonna kill him right in front of her. We tracked her down to Albania, but she got away from us. Now we have no idea." "Moscow. She always said Moscow was the place to hide." "Thank you Weasley we will be in touch." George nodded and locked the door. "Let's go we will take you to the Burrow."
I nodded. "I think they were testing you. You have a wonderful way of preforming." He chuckled and we took the floo and were instantly at his family home. "I haven't come back..." I nodded. We sat down and and we birth cried and drifted off to sleep and in my dreams Tom was waiting for me. "Where are you?" "Safe. Orion. Any news?" He shook his head. I received and kiss and it was over. I woke up to see something very unexpected.
