Amy.

"Oh my god!" gasped Elena, wide-eyed out of the front windshield.

"W-What?" Nicole exhaled, throwing the car into park.

My eyes slide from my window to the windshield to see the flickering glow. 

"No fucking way!" I shouted, as the three of us stepped out of the car and we all met up at the front of the Weasely's car, staring in horror.

We flinched at the fire trucks rushing past us and all Elena and I could do was drift our gazes over at Nicole, whose eyes were glistening as those salty tears took over her eyes.

"They couldn't have done this," whispered Elena. "they can't!"

"Oh my god!" mumbled Nicole attempting to start sprinting towards the burning building.

"Nicole!" shouted Elena.

I sprinted after her and right as I tackled her to the ground there was an explosion inside and Nicole just buried her face into the ground.

I was literally on top of her, I could feel her struggling to breathe.

"You guys alright?" Elena's voice came joining us as I rose, and then wrapped my arms around Nicole as she attempted to leap into those flames again. 

"No," I stated, as Nicole began screaming as another explosion erupted through the building.

It was as if things slowed down, all that crowded my ears were Nicole's cries and more explosions within the building. It took everything I had to hold her back.

Elena and I kept staring at the destroyed 'safe haven' and all we both kept thinking was one word;

Deatheaters.

Nicole finally calmed down enough to drop to her knees, as she just let out more tears.

"I have never seen her this upset," I said, looking over at Elena who just threw a sympathetic gaze and shot the fire a curious look. 

"They destroyed her home." Elena's voice sounded heartless. Not in a bad way, like as if she was in complete disgust, disappointment. "What do you expect?"

The three of us watched as the muggle firefighters fought this fire, that didn't seem to want to be put out - but once they were firing water into the roaring beast, the fire suddenly faded away. Allowing the dark of night and the streetlights fade back into the atmosphere.

Nicole froze, from staring down at her knees and rose to her feet, causing the two of us to look back at her now broken out face. 

"Deatheaters," she stated, looking over at Elena and me.

"That's the only explanation Nicole," nodded Elena and began pointing at the remains of the building. "Why else would the fire go out so quickly?"

"Magic fire." I agreed as we leaned against the car. "Are we going to check this out?"

"Of course, we're just waiting on these hunks to leave." winked Elena, as Nicole just glared at the scene.

The fire trucks began to pull away, one by one - there were three of them.

Nicole glared at them as they passed, but the last one stopped and the driver rolled down the window.

"Shouldn't you ladies be at home?" smiled the hunk at the wheel.

"Oh, no worries." I smiled up, winking.

"No, seriously, its dangerous for a few beauties like you." winked the passenger, leaning over this other man.
