"Timmy..What if something bad happens to our mother and our siblings? Mother is pregnant and I don't want anything bad to happen. What if he returned the way he was? He promised us, right? right?" I cried out, worry had taken over after what happened in the forest with Lucas, I was still shocked yet it started breaking me into a million pieces, the thought of a broken family was shattering me, the nightmare may have begun there.

"Rosie, calm down.." Timothy immediately pulled me closer to his chest, heavy sobs left between my lips, the mixed emotions were all mixed. Anxiety, sadness, broken, and all together, it was getting worse how my breathing wasn't balanced, but heavy. I could also feel my brother getting worried after I told him what happened in the forest.

"T-Timmy. Please tell me this is all a dream. I want to wake up," I mumbled as his arms tightened around me, face buried in his chest. Everything seemed unbelievable, a nightmare was in a loop playing in my head. Weakness has taken over me, weakness had made me fell the deep end of the darkness, I felt I was close.

"Rosie, look at me," He gently pulled away and cupped both of my cheeks, eyes were on us. We were surrounded by Lucas, Gabriella, Ashton, and the other Lestrange in one room.

"Nothing is going to happen, okay? I know father can't break his promises to all of us and let's all hope nothing will happen to our family."

"Timmy.."

"Rosie, nothing will happen. We will all be together till the end." Timothy reassured me as he kept his hands gently cupped my cheeks, the pain through my bloodshot eyes, was also hurting him, his little sister who used to see a little joyful Rosie, her world suddenly turned upside down and slowly witnessing the darker side.

The darker side that has been kept hidden for years after Tom Riddle left when he met Esther Siverio, who successfully changed him into a decent wizard. It was the most unexpected change he ever made, a powerful love had changed his perspective of the world. From the darkest world, he ever created and left a print in everyone's memories to another new world where he saw himself intertwined with our mother.

He caught a glimpse of Esther meeting his dark gaze during the first hearings of the Ministry of Magic. He was caught when he entered the Ministry, alone and wandering around which caught everyone's attention.

Her soothing voice had kept Tom Riddle staring at her, a plain expression yet Esther was something else that his cold heart slowly beats. Her blue eyes meeting his dark gaze had compelled him, frozen in time and a blur in their surroundings but the only two in the same room.

"I just don't want a broken family.."

"Rosie, listen to me." My brother's thumb gently wiped my tears away after another tear ran down my cheeks, I felt my heart shattering into a million pieces.

Just by imagining the family that was once happiest until it turned into a complete disaster. That wasn't the part of the story that Mother included whenever she told us stories during our bedtime.

"I can't promise you that our family won't be broken but you have to remember, us as siblings won't ever be torn apart. We will always be together even if we face the darkest battle in our lives, you and all of us will be on each other's side. Okay?" My brother said gently and softly, reassuring me as he slowly watched me calm down, He knew his little sister had the softest heart, anything I see or hear could easily break me.

He quickly exchanged glances with my other siblings who were also worried about our family, a family that we thought we would be at peace.

I nodded without a response, imagining what would happen if any of us were separated in the future which I hope we won't be. That was never part of the plan for our future and we never wanted to turn our lives like what Father has been through, alone in the dark and becoming the villain of the Wizarding world.
