Harry's point of view.

"Let's the five of us make a promise to stay together forever!" A sixteen years old Niall, enthusiastically exclaimed.

"Forget it. None of us will make that promise." Seventeen years old Louis said and ended it with a scoff.

"I don't think it's a bad idea." Sixteen years old Liam thoughtfully said.

"It sure is, what do you think?" Louis looked at the two of us for an answer. We both shrugged at the same time. I wouldn't mind making a promise.

"Yes! So, it's decided! Let's make a promise!" Niall said and extended his arm in front of us, Liam places his hand on top of Niall's, followed by mine, then his and the last one was Louis.

In the witch land, if one makes a promise and if it's broken, the one ends up with a blessing or a curse.

I slowly woke up to the screams around the house, I could hear someone banging on my bedroom door. I immediately walk to the door and when I opened the door, I saw a very worried and scared twenty one years old Niall.

"Wha- what's going on?" My voice came out rough,

"We are evacuating! Your highness, please you must leave now!" Niall exclaimed, I knew how important the situation was because he only calls me 'your highness' when it's an urgent matter.

"What about the others?" I ask him,

"They are outside the mansion, preparing to leave. Louis, Liam and I will stay here to make sure everyone has left." Niall said,

"What about him?" I ask,

"I am sorry, I haven't seen him the whole day." Niall said and rushed outside with me.

"Please your highness, don't let yourself get tangled with the fire." Niall said in a very serious tone and left.

As soon as I stepped outside of the mansion, I could see some witches has put up a barrier to prevent the fire to spread further. I look around for Father, and I didn't get any sight of him. As I looked around, my eyes fell on someone from a distance, walking towards the warehouse, where there is no fire. I immediately knew who it was and followed him.

By the time I got inside the warehouse, I see him standing in the middle alone.

"Zayn! Where were you this whole time?" I ask him, my voice laced with worry.

"Aren't you supposed to worry about the mansion more than me?" The twenty one years old Zayn asks, I could sense a hint of amusement in his voice.

"What do you mean? And why aren't you helping the others?" I ask him,

"Have you seen your father outside?" He asks,

"Will you stop questioning me back instead of answering them!? And what the bloody hell are you talking about? It's as if you know the cause of the fire!" I exclaimed in frustration,

"Oh yes, I do. In fact, very well. Obviously, the one who put on the fire will know the fire better." Zayn said with amusement in his voice. My eyes went wide as I took in each word he said and to my surprise, he turned around with a sinister smile. He lets out the pairs of wings I never saw, and flies towards me with the same sinister smile. He stops right in front of me, our nose almost touching. I could see his lips moving but no words came out and suddenly the warehouse was in fire and he vanished from right in front of me.

We all ended up with a curse instead because I was too naïve.

I slowly open my eyes and look around my surrounding, I see Emily sleeping beside me. The sight makes me smile a little. I slowly sit up straight, I hiss and flinch at times because of the pain but I manage. I slowly walk towards the door and open it cautiously. The sudden interaction of sunlight in my eyes, made me flinch but I got used to it immediately.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him, I knew he was here.

"To take her back with me." Zayn said while still floating in the air as he flaps his wings.

"No." I growled and glared at him.

"You can't stop me." He said, and I sensed that disgusting amusement in his voice.

"Yes I can't, but she will." I confidently said,

"You know the nearer she is, the worst it gets." He said, with an amused smirk. I remain silent, I don't have a reason to reply to him.

"Get well soon." He said, with no emotions. I scoffed in return.

He then flew away without any other word, I can sense Louis's presence and nod, giving him the permission to show himself.

"Is it true?" I ask him,

"Yes, and the trigger for the curse to release, is you Harry." Louis said, and I sighed in reply, knowing that the end is near.

I look up to the sky with a smile and thought to myself, we all ended up with a curse instead.

"She also knows about everything, she might start asking us questions." Louis said, and I nodded, I really do have to face her questions.
