Chapter 54

The battle

Azazel smirked while looking at the nervous wreck beside her. She slid the silver dagger into her leather belt around her thigh and tucking the gun she had borrowed from one of Nott's collection on her back belt around her waist. She wore the long leather coat and covered herself with a black cape.

"Don't shit yourself Newton." The man looked at her with wide eyes and stammered. She rolled her eyes and smirked at him. "I know you are simply nervous all the time. You should really stop that." He nodded and blinked a few times.

"Professor Dumbledore said he'll be there before us." Theseus said and Azazel ignored him.

She did not like this guy.

"Shall we leave?" Newt asked and she looked at him. "I'll follow." The two brothers nodded and walked out of the room and towards the gathering.

Azazel sighed and looked down at her shaking hands. She was not scared she might probably be damaged too badly that her body can't heal anymore and she will be a pile of trash. No. She was scared that Tom would come here. She was scared the knights would take part in this war and she might end up losing one of them.

She kissed her wedding ring and caressed his name that was engraved into the thin platinum band.

"Please don't do what you always do love." She muttered to herself, hoping for his soul to hear.

She let out a final sigh and put on her 'I don't fear or give a fuck about anything' look and walked out of the room.

She walked towards the gathering that was held in a auditorium next Street.

She entered with the crowd and situated herself in one of the seats.

The venue was almost full and she watched as the gates closed. Her eyes were sharp. She caught sight of Newt and Theseus in the crowd and gave them a nod of acknowledgement and they returned it.

Her eyes searched for Dumbledore and he was there. He had his usual calm demeanor and his hat hid his face well.

They were few in number. But they were the best. As much as she found Dumbledore disturbing, the man was one of the greatest wizards of all time and she bowed to his power.

Her eyes searched the crowd for any disturbance or something unusual.

Her emerald eyes racked through the large crowd when her heart started racing and she frowned at the weird feeling. Chills ran down her spine and she felt disturbed.

Azazel's heart beat rapidly and begged to jump out of her chest. She frowned deeper and placed a hand on her heart.

"What--"

That's when her eyes caught a pair of ocean blue eyes staring right at her.

His hair covered his forehead and the mask her wore covered his face. His oh so beautiful eyes stared at her and she cursed all the powers above her for making her fears come true.

She looked around him and found the knights. They were busy and inspecting the place.

Harry? Is that Harry? She cursed under her breath. Why is he hiding from the knights?

Her eyes returned to her reckless husband and she glared at him.

He removed his mask slightly and passed a small smile that only infuriated her. She sent invisible daggers his way through her harsh glare. He was always seeking danger and this was extreme.

She felt a slight pain in her temple and she knew he was trying to talk to her.

"Tom Riddle! You--"
