The Last Peverell

Chapter Four: Flashback

I was just like any other Friday night, my dad was telling me the story of the Peverell Brothers, "tell the story please daddy!" I yelled excited to hear the song that dad make up to tell the story, "okay baby girl. Once happened to cross fair brothers tree who thought they could use all their magic to thwart me. But I, being Death, being sly blocked their path and said, "Brave, cunning brothers, oh, what do you asked, I will give each a prize and let brothers pass."

He smiled, "The first brother begged, "Please, Death, make me a tool one that will win every fight, every duel." So I broke branch off of an elder tree and I fashioned the wand for he thought he was worthy and give elder wand to the eldest of tree. Go, Brother, I bid thee good night. I promised you'll win all your battles and fights but your wand will be stolen and you will be slain and you and I will meet again."

My father runs his finger down the straight line of my family tattoo on my wrist then continued the song, "The next brother cried, "Give me magic instead. The power to bring others back from the death." So I picked up a stone from the riverside and I told him the pebble had magic inside. It will bring back the death and his departed bride. Go, Brother, I bid thee good night. You'll see your love soon but things will not be right. You'll drive yourself crazy for she won't be whole and then I will claim your soul."

My father runs his finger over the circle of my family tattoo on my wrist then continued the song, "The youngest brother said, "Death, I don't trust your ways. Please, leave me alone till the end of my days." and though I was reluctant, he was the wisest of the tree. So I gave him my cloak of invisibility and I let the young brother go free. Go, Brother, I bid thee goodnight. Go take your new cloak and go live out your life. Be happy and healthy, and when you are ready. You can take off your cloak and join me.

My father runs his finger over the triangle of my family tattoo on my wrist then sung the ending of the song, "and that is the story of The Peverell Brothers. They each made their choice, one wiser than others. They stripped me of the wand, and of cloak, and of stone and I bade young Ignotus be selfless and roam and many years passed till he call me his home. But I took the other two for my own." He finished and my mummy came in her eyes bright blue and her hair a dirty blonde, "mummy guess what daddy just told me about!"

I jumped up and down excited to tell mummy, "what did he tell you my little Y/N/N?" My mummy asked, "he told me about my great great great great million time great granddad." She smiled and looked down at her wrist that had the same tattoo as mine, "I love you mummy!" I yelled and kissed her cheek, "what about me baby girl?" My daddy asked and I jumped up at him , "I love you too Daddy!" he hugged my mummy and me but soon there was a knock at the door. But then the door was kicked down, "Daddy!"

I screamed scared but mummy pushed me behind her, "Sirius Black you are under arrest for the murder of the Potters!" The big man yelled at my daddy, "Daddy!" I started to cry and they took my dad out of the house but when my mummy tried to talk to the guy but I just heard him whisper, "I'm sorry this is for the best." He brought his wand out and used a spell that tore my mummy's body into pieces, "MUMMY!" I screamed and fell to my knees in front of my mummy's body. The man walked out leaving me behind in a pool of my mummy's blood.
