MATTHEO'S POV

My heart is beating out my chest. My father called urgent meeting. What if he found out that I let her escape?

What will he say? Is he gonna kill me this time? Why the fuck did I do it? Risk my life for a stupid girl.

I really shouldn't have done that. I am so stupid. A real idiot.

I rush downstairs. I am in shock when I see it's not just me but everyone. Absolutely every living death eater.

What is this? They are all chatting, they look nervous. Oh God, what if he gathered them all here so they would find her again?

"EVERYONE BE QUIET AND SIT DOWN WE HAVE TO DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS" my father yells.

I gulp as I fall into my seat. This is it. My official death.

"Julia Black has escaped, we managed to take just a little of her energy before she ran away"

"Unfortunately it's just temporary so we have to attack while we have it which means war starts now"

JULIA'S POV

I'm out of breath. I didn't stop running for one second in hope they won't catch me. I never looked back.

Sometimes I would hit a branch so now my pajamas are partly ripped. Fuck, I hope I'm near Hogwarts.

I see the light. Oh, I hope it's Hogwarts or maybe I'm just seeing my death. I wouldn't mind any of those two.

I see people. I MADE IT OUT ALIVE. I ran toward them but soon my smile slowly fades as I see Pansy uncontrollably sobbing.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong" I say as I wrap my arms around her. She looks up at me with wide eyes before slapping me as I stand there in shock.

"WHAT'S WRONG? OH MY GOD, YOU SCARED ME TO DEATH YOU IDIOT, YOU DESPAIRED FOR DAYS" she screams before she hugging me so tight that my air way is blocked.

"Yeah, long story" I respond. "I thought you were dead. Especially when now the war started"

"WHAT" I yell. "Yeah, you didn't know?" she asks still sobbing. "The golden trio raised an alarm that death eaters are coming, the war is starting"

My heart drops to my stomach, no, no, no. This can't be happening. They took my strength, way too much.

"We need a plan, right now, get the group" I say and turn to head to common room. "Julia, you remember it's just us girls, Julia, boys are death eaters"

Realization.

Fuck, how could I forget this? God, I'm so dumb.

"Well- I- I don't know- get everyone you can" I tell her before going to my dorm. I change into armor.

My dad gave it to me. He said I'm gonna need it one day and that it's gonna protect me. Won't let anytime happen to me.

Like he's fighting right by my side.

I sigh before changing into it. I really look like a worrier. Dad would be proud. Now let's make him prouder.

I hear things crash outside and fog make everything blurry.

Let the war begin.

There are shadows, death eaters on all side. The war has already started. I'm- I don't know what I'm doing.

On which side I'm fighting. I guess on my father side. I didn't kill anyone. Yet.

Harry is coming around to destroy my father, I guess it's not really my business to stop him.

People are screaming everywhere. Just like it would happen in my old nightmares. Screams and deaths and all that suffering just for this to end.

I'm not sure who's gonna win and honestly as much as I am on my father's side I don't care who is gonna win.

I am interrupted by the sound of someone getting killed with a sword. I'm astonished as I turn back to see Julia with sword in her hand standing above Lestranges body.

Well that's something new.

She's in new armor. She looks fucking hot. I mean we're still enemies but like she looks fucking hot alright.

Her eyes narrow as soon as she spots me looking so I just smirk and move away.

I didn't see her much since that moment. Sky was dark, looked like it's gonna fall down with all of us.

Everyone are already exhausted and war just started. For now there is already way too many killed people and from now that number is just gonna get higher.

Blood is everywhere. It's all I see. Harry has vanished to Forbiden forest to confront my father and truth to told I have no idea how that is gonna go.

It could go terribly wrong or amazingly right. But for who?

I just know I won't get myself involved in that mess. To get myself killed because of the chosen boy, haha.

Suddenly I am pulled back. I'm already ready to swing and punch the person untill I notice it's Theodore.

"What the fuck, man?" I yell. "Whose side are you on?" he says narrowing his eyes on me.

"I- I don't even know, kinda on my dad's but also not enough to kill anyone, I think" I respond.

"You think?"

"That sounded sarcastic" he glares before responding "because it was"

"Whatever just don't get in my way, bestie"

Maybe this is the first time in my life that a word acually stung. I many times felt sorry but never because someone hurt me but because I hurt them.

And this is the first time I was the one getting hurt. I finally realize how it feels. How it stings.

I hate myself for doing this to people. But there's no going back now.

I hear some loud crash go on near. Julia being in the middle of it all. Her armor is protecting her.

Untill it's not on her anymore. Someone made it disappear. Oh fuck.

JULIA'S POV

MY ARMOR IS GONE. I HAVE NOTHING TO PROTECT MYSELF.

THAT WSS FROM MY DAD.

THAT WAS FROM MY DAD.

Tʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀs ғʀᴏᴍ ᴍʏ ᴅᴀᴅ.

That was from my dad...

Who knew it took 3 second for everything to change. Who knew that it took 3 second of weakness for someone to stab you.

I feel a knife getting pulled out of my stomach as I gasp. My hand goes to the wound.

Blood.

Blood.

Blood.

There is so much blood.

It hurts.

It hurts so bad.

"It hurts, dad"

I say into the sky before falling to my knees.
