" Come on girls!" yelled Mrs. Truelove.

" Coming mom!" replied Evelyn. Nicole and Evelyn rushed down the stairs, and out the door to head to the bakery. " It's five!" Nicole cried. Evelyn chuckled. " Yeah it is, I'm surprised you're not half asleep."

Nicole glared at her so-called friend."I hate you." she muttered under her breath as she dragged herself into the car.

Evelyn's mother laughed. " Sorry honey, but I'll let you eat some batter," she said. Nicole perked up at that and they began driving to the Leaky Cauldron.

!

It was 9:00 am now and people started showing up. Lindsey had instructed Evelyn and Nicole to work the register when a family of three came through the doors, each sporting fiery red hair. The woman had a kind face and held a little boy who seemed no older than one. She then turned to the man who she came in with, " Arthur hold Bill please, while I order." she said handing the child to whom Evelyn presumed was her husband.

The fairly short woman walked to the register and beamed at the two girls. Evelyn was the first to say something. " Welcome to Truelove's bakery! May I take your order." She said with a bright smile.

The redhead's brown eyes brightened, "Yes, I would like to place an order under the name Weasley," she said.

Evelyn nodded. She jumped down and grabbed a pen and paper. " Alright, what would you like and when do you want it?" she asked. Mrs. Weasley gave her order and, Mrs. Truelove came in with a freshly baked pecan pie.

Mr. Weasley and little Bill looked up as the smell filled the smell filled the room.

" Good-mornin'." Mrs. Truelove chirped, sitting the pie on the counter and cutting it. Evelyn jumped off the stool and went over and gave the order to her mother. Lindsey looked it over and greeted the young couple. " Christmas Party?" she asked.

Mrs. Weasley nodded.

" Consider it done- and would you like a pie on the house?" she said gesturing to the two boys staring at the pie on the counter. Mrs. Weasley chuckled " It's fine." she answered, glaring at her husband. " Honestly I insist-" Mrs. Truelove was interrupted by an ear piercing shriek.

!

The people inside the shop had no idea what was going on, and for some reason, Evelyn looked outside the window. And what she saw made her blood turn to ice, a jet of green light hit a man in Auror robes. The spell threw him backward and he landed on the ground, he didn't get back up. Another man who wore a horrifying mask and ebony robes threw his head back and laughed.

Evelyn quickly backed away from the door and turned to her mother. " Mom! Death Eaters!" she shouted.

The people in the shop paled. " Everyone to the back of the shop, now!" Lindsey yelled. They all rushed to the back of the store. Mrs. Weasley had her son tucked behind a sack of flour, and she and her husband both had their wands drawn, watching the entrance to the back.

Evelyn was shaking uncontrollably and was having trouble breathing. " Mom!" she gasped " What are you doing?!" Lindsey grabbed her wand and a frying pan, I have to go and cast some charms from the outside. I'll be quick, but if I don't come back know that I love you. Tell your father and brother I love them too." she leaned over and kissed and hugged her trembling daughter. " I'll try and be back in five minutes tops, I love you!" she said walking out of the store. Five minutes passed, then ten, and fifteen.

She hadn't returned.

Alastor Moody arrived in Diagon Alley only to see spells being cast every which way, and people lying on the ground either moaning in pain, unconscious, or dead. He moved quickly, stunning every death eater he saw. Many of his best Aurors were struggling against the masked villains, "Come on lads!" he barked. That's when he heard an outraged cry of a woman.

" FUCK OFF YOU BASTARD!" she bellowed as a death eater grabbed her from behind. Moody ran to help the woman but it seemed she didn't need it. She moved swiftly as she elbowed the man in the chest, he let go with a groan and that's when she slammed the frying pan she had into his face and kneed him in the groin. The death eater crumpled to the ground in pain and for good measure, she stunned him.

If Moody wasn't in the middle of a battle he would have pissed himself from laughing, and that's saying a lot. The woman didn't stop there, she maneuvered her way through the crowd of fleeing people with ease casting hexes and curses as she went. Moody couldn't believe it, the lass was wearing a dress and heels for Merlin's sake and she was doing better than several of his officers.

He observed as she fought. Her wand moving so fast he couldn't see the end, and that's when the head Auror showed up and was immediately cornered by death eaters. He would bet his left leg that the lass didn't even know she was helping the head Auror.

" HEY ASSHOLES!" she shouted, and three death eaters looked at her curiously. She gave them no time to react as she shot a curse at their feet sending them flying back and into a wall.

" RETREAT!!" shouted a cloaked figure. The cloaked people started apparating, but one raised their wand at the Head Auror. " AVADA KEDA- *BANG*" the woman had slammed the frying pan into the back of the person's head, and they promptly fell to the ground, unconscious.

!

Evelyn was sobbing " W-why has-hasn't she com-come back yet!" she cried. Nicole was holding Evelyn, and rubbing circles into her back. " Shhhh- I'm sure she's fine Ev...." Nicole was so not sure, she only said that for her friend's sake, she looked over and spotted Mr. Weasley holding onto his wife as she tried to calm down their crying son.

" RETREAT!" bellowed a muffled voice. Nicole sighed hoping the death eaters were gone.

!

" Bloody hell!" cried an auror. " Did- did you see that woman!"

The Head Auror thanked Lindsey. " Thank you so much, ma'am. If it weren't for you and your frying pan I'm afraid I wouldn't be here right now," he stated staring at the woman with what seemed to be respect.

Lindsey smiled. " Oh, it's alright," she said, brushing it off. " And you're welcome," she responded lightly.

" MAMA." shrieked a girl. Lindsey's head snapped over to see her daughter running full speed at her. Evelyn threw herself onto her mother and started crying all over again.

Lindsey hugged her daughter as she was approached by Moody. " Listen here lass," he said running a hand through his graying hair. " Where did you learn to duel like that?" he asked. Lindsey smiled as she cradled her daughter. "Oh you know...school," she said smiling.

" And what school is that?" asked an auror.

Lindsey glowed with pride as she said the name of her Alma mater " Ilvermorny.'
