A song for the chapter: Like Him (feat. Lola Young) - Tyler, The Creator, Lola Young
"Stay away from my daughter, you bitch!" Apolline snarled, shielding Elwia with her body.
"Watch your words, dirty halfblood." A woman with black curls spat, squinting her eyes threateningly. Her wand was aiming straight at Apolline, whereas the dark-haired man's wand was down. Elwia could still see that the man's eyes were full of bloodthirst.
"What do you want from me? Remus and Sirius will be coming any minute now, and they will kill you!" Elwia shouted, trying to hide her fear from sight.
"You foolish little girl," The woman shook her head, clicking her tongue a few times before shouting something incoherent, a red light blasting from the tip of her wand.
Elwia let out a gasp as she watched the spell hit Apolline's body. "Mum?"
Apolline turned around and looked at Elwia with a smile, "My baby." Not even a second later, she fell to the ground. Sharp crimson cuts were starting to show up on Apolline's pale skin, and she was puking up blood.
"No! What did you do?" Elwia screamed and charged towards the curly-haired woman before shouting the beginning of two lethal words, "Avad-".
"Petrificus Totalus," the woman cast quickly, faster than Elwia. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the Chosen One almost using an unforgivable curse on me? Who would've believed? Am I right, Rodolphus?" The woman snickered.
"We have to go before the Order finds out what we've done." Rodolphus smirked.
"How does it feel to be truly motherless?" The woman laughed, but all Elwia could do was watch as her mother bled out on the ground.
"You should release the girl out of the spell and let's go, Bella." Rodolphus lowered his head, tightening the grip on his wand.
"Finite Incantatem," Bella muttered before apparating into black smoke.
What had happened? Why was Apolline so cold? There was so much blood. All she saw was blood.
"No, no, I can't lose you! I can't! God, please!" Elwia screamed, shaking the dead body of her mother. The girl was too shocked and traumatised to even notice that the Order had apparated to the scenery.
"Elwia! What happ—Oh, no... Hey, hey! Sweet girl, it's okay. Come here, Eden. Listen to me, we're going to save her." Uncle Moony mumbled, trying to pull Elwia further away from the body.
"No! Don't lie to me, Moony. Don't you dare lie to me..." Elwia sobbed while her body was slowly falling limp in his arms.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry. You warned us about this, and we didn't believe you. I'm sorry that I didn't believe that you have seer powers." Moony shook his head; his expression pained as he caressed the young girl's hair.
"I'll never forgive you, Remus." Elwia whispered.
Elwia woke up in her bed, her face wet from tears. The lights were turned on, and she could see the worried faces of Pansy and Astoria in front of her. Elwia's lower lip was trembling, and her breaths were shaky, still in shock from what she had just seen.
"Wia, what did you see?" Astoria whispered, scooching beside Elwia on the bed, pulling the covers over her body.
"I saw my mum. I-" Elwia stuttered before breaking into loud cries. She almost forgot to breathe because her cries were so hard and painful. With saddened eyes, Pansy stared helplessly at Elwia, not really knowing how to act in the moment. Astoria simply shook her head while hugging the raven-haired girl, gently hushing and whispering It's okay multiple times, over and over again.
