<Ava Potter's Pov>

I looked at my father. Why? Why, was I related to him? Why would he start a war? I shook my head slowly walking out of Mattheo's grip. He held my hand as I walked forward with a hand flat in front of me, slowly approaching him. "Father..."

"You know what this means." He smirks. 

"I do. But this isn't right. There are lives at risk. A lot of them, mind you." Whenever someone fires a shotgun into the air it declares war. Only the person who shot it can prevent it. 

"But I want you dead."

"I know you do father. I know. But just because you have a problem with me doesn't mean you put others lives in danger."

"Please, father, This is the one thing I ask- no beg of you"

"Too late" He smirks. He points the gun at me and fires. My arm gets yanked back and I fall to the ground with someones arms wrapped around me. I fell to the floor and opened my eyes to see Mattheo. I looked where I was and saw the priest, dead. Blood spilling from his chest. 

I felt tears fall from my eyes. This was all because I fell in love with Slytherin. All because I fell in love with a Riddle. It's all my fault. All because I was Gryffindor who fell in love with a Slytherin. I looked back at my father,

There was no guilt or hurt in his eyes, in fact he was smirking. I closed my eyes and within seconds I was out of my gown and in a pair of pants and a shirt. I stood up, off of Mattheo and pulled him up. I make eye contact with my father.

I shake my head, tears falling out of my eyes. "You are a fucking monster" He nods and points a gun at me. "Everyone out! Now." They all scramble and I run out with my group following behind me. I ran to the Potter Castle.

"Ava, not to be rude but we are in the middle of a fucking war" Draco stated as if I had no idea from almost getting shot. 

"This place has a basement with guns" He nods, finally getting it. I shake my head and open the doors I lead them to the basement and we all pick out our weapons. I feel myself shaking. I wasn't planning on him starting a fucking war. 

Sure, I expected him to get mad and hate me. Along with my mother. But I never would expect him to start a war just to kill me. That means I have to kill him, or someone does. I really hate this. It's all my fault. It always will be. 

"Are you ok?" A pair of arms snake around my waist. I melt into them and put my head on his shoulder while we sway slowly, waiting for everyone else to finish up. 

"I am scared."

"Well, that I knew. I can't promise you everything will turn into sunshine and rainbows but I can tell you I will be there for you until the end of the earth."

"Just please, Mattheo please don't die. I couldn't handle that."

"I won't." I felt him shake his head slightly against my neck. "Please promise me"

"Ava you know I can't do th-"

"Please" I breathe out. 

"Fine, I promise" He places a small kiss on my neck before placing his fingers over my hands, that were rested on my waist and curls them so his fingertips rest on my palms. I curl my fingers over his as he sways us back and forth slightly.

"I know you guys love each other but we are in war" Theodore comments.

"Sorry you don't have someone but that doesn't mean you take it out on us." I felt Mattheo's mouth open on my neck but I responded faster. 

"Bitch"

"I know" I smirk. 

"Ava!! Help!!" Ron asks, trying to figure out his weapon. I sigh and lift my head off his shoulder and turn around giving him a small peck on the lips before walking over to Ron to help him with his weapon.

"Ok we will meet back here once everything stopped" I explain.

"What- huh?" Ron asks. I sigh and shake my head. 

"Once Harry and I's father is dead we meet back here. When any of us kill him take his gun and fire it in the sky to tell everyone it is over" 

"Oh oh oh. Now I get it"

"Finally. But maybe you should stick with Mione for this." He chuckles and nods, looking at Hermione. Lucas has his hand laced with hers as I see fear letting Hermione off by herself. I turn to look at Mattheo and see him already looking at me,

With a few tears coming out of his eye. My bottom lip trembled and I walked over to him standing in front of him letting him wrap his arms around me. I knew he was scared too. But I also knew he knew I wasn't just gonna follow him around like a puppy. 

"Keep each other and yourself, please. I can't lose any of you."

"What about me." Blaise raises his hand in the air. I took this as an opportunity to at least make a few people laugh or just smile, even if the smile is small. 

"Yes, even you Zucchini" He chuckled and so did a few others. Mattheo's grip on me only tightened as I felt a small tear fall onto my shoulder. "Oh love..." I whispered. 

"You'll come back to me, right?"

"Yes my love. Will you come back to me?"

"Yes." I smiled slightly and nodded. I can't imagine losing him. It would end my world. I couldn't ever live without him, and hopefully I won't have to. "Alright guys. Are we ready to kick some ass" 

As they all were about to answer we heard the basement doors open. We looked at each other with pure horror....
