Lauren's POV

As if a hot ember crossed my body, a jolt took me out of my own consciousness making me groan audibly for the burning pain in my stomach. My eye contact with Camila was interrupted when both she and I fell directly to the ground. She fell unconscious, her face buried in the grass; I just dropped to my knees keeping my fists clenched tight so I wouldn't give in to that pain. Then I lifted my eyes to find Normani with a manic smile on her face as she crouched beside Camila, probably checking to see if she was really unconscious; only then I knew what was going on. Normani cast Crucio on Camila. And I had made the perpetual vow.

I was feeling a part of Camila's suffering.

I looked at her angrily, and she just completely ignored me; I saw when a blonde girl finally noticed what was happening to Camila, and when she ran toward her in despair. I frowned, I could swear that I knew that girl. But Normani was quicker, and, still crouched beside Camila, smiled one last time at the blonde girl before disappearing with the inert body of the Gryffindor girl. My pain had already ceased, so I stood up and looked around realizing that it was all over. I was the last Death Eater on the spot, the few survivors were now aided by Order members, and the blonde girl was now crying desolately on the floor.

But I didn't care.

I visualized the mansion of my family and soon everything was swirling as my hatred for Normani took everything that existed in me, because I knew that the moment I found her alone, things would be my way.

Storyteller's POV

"It is with much regret that I confirm that the wizard who calls himself Lord, well, you know who I mean, he is alive and among us again." said the Prime Minister's voice on the radio. "And with almost equal regret that we inform the occurrence of a mass rebellion of the Dementors of Azkaban, who have demonstrated their dissatisfaction to continue to serve the Ministry. We believe that the Dementors are presently taking orders from the Lord... We ask the magical population to remain vigilant. The Ministry is currently issuing home and personal defense guides that will be distributed free of charge to all witch homes next month."

"Fuck you!" Dinah yelled up violently. A small meeting was held in the Hogwarts meeting room with members of the Order, all seeking a solution to the surprise attacks that happened and the kidnapping of Camila. "Listening to the Minister's bullshit won't help me find Camila!"

"Dinah..." Lupin tried, but the blonde girl was possessed. "Calm down."

"Calm down my ass!" she pointed her finger at the former teacher's face with no fear. "You're sitting here and drinking tea as if my best friend wasn't in the hands of the devil himself, damn it!" then she turned to Dumbledore who was standing watching the dark sky from the grounds. "Where is Potter? Surely you have stuck him in some magic pot so he won't be captured too, because you only care about him!"

The silence was absolute in the room as the blonde's voice ceased. All pairs of eyes turned to Dumbledore who was silent, contemplating whatever was outside.

"She's fine." he stated in a calm voice that made Dinah angry.

The blonde threw herself back into the chair feeling defeated, no one would move a straw to help her and she alone wouldn't know where to start.

"She's fine... surrounded by Death Eaters and probably with 'You-Know-Who'?" asked a female voice. Dinah glanced around the room to find Nymphadora Tonks curled up in one of the chairs, her hair lifeless and dark circles under her eyes.
