Hope

000

The vines tightened around her body as she tried to be set free. Tears went down her face as she looked at Voldemort- or should I say, Tom Marvolo Slytherin- in the eyes. Shivers went down their spines, but they ignored it.

Fog covered the graveyard, as his minions made their "dramatic" entry. Hope gave up.

She couldn't wait to be free from the world that used her. They only loved her when they needed her then went back to hating her?

Tom smirked as he read her mind, that was a good sign. But he wasn't satisfied yet.

"Hope Potter. After 14 years, you are finally before me. Finally weaker" his deep, powerful voice said while he smirked, making his death eaters cower in fear and Hope to clench her fists.

"But I haven't had the time to say thankyou" 

Hope took a deep breath and prepared herself for what was to come. 

Tom smirked, "Crucio"

And that one word released Hope and made her scream in pain. Tears started dripping down her face like a waterfall, each tear for a different reason. Her scream was bloodcurling and full of agony and pain. She was only 14 and she didn't want to become a vampire any time soon.

The girl took deep breaths and dropped her tense shoulders, once Tom released the curse.

Her words came out slow, her voice hoarse and a mere whisper, "I don't care. I don't want to stay here anymore. I- I'll leave. I want to stay away from here"

Silence fell upon the two, till Pettigrew decided to interrupt.

"M-my lord. S-sh-she's l-lying! S-she want-wants to kill you!! K-ki-"

"Crucio" Marvolo's voice interrupted, making the rat wiggle on the floor in pain.

He turned back to Hope, who slightly calmed herself down, her face down to cover the tears on her face.

His voice was raised, holding more power and he let his magic flow to hers in more of a comforting manner. 

"You can leave, Potter. Make a new life and go. Be free from his schemes"

Hope never realised that she would be grateful for Tom, but she didn't care. She wanted to go back to her family. Her real family.

LONDON

Hope sighed in relief at the sight of her parents. She instantly tackled them in a hug, tears of relief and sadness going down her face. 

Hayley and Klaus shared a look of concern, their faces softening when they heard her next words.

"I- I don't want to go there, mom. I don't want to go" her sobs weakened their hearts, making them hug the girl harder.

"You won't have to go there, my sweet girl" Hayley murmured comforting words to her daughter, giving her kisses on the forehead.

The family stood there in tears, all while time in London passed, from seconds, to minutes. And from the moment she left the wizarding world, everyone was doomed.
