The Truth of Spectre and the Darkest Days

Chapter 3: The Birth of Spectre

*dreaming set 4 years before Arluin's death*

Spectre awoke to a bright sunny day and birds tweeting, getting dressed, Spectre started to sing it's a beautiful day to his wife Elizabeth who was getting their son Talon ready for his day at Hogwarts, for today was the day that Talon would finally start his own journey, and no matter what happened or what house he got, Spectre and Elizabeth would always be proud of him.

After they had all eaten breakfast and got everything ready they apparated to Spectre's friend Arluin's house where his Girlfriend Chloe and their daughter Cassiopeia, who were also starting Hogwarts this year, were getting ready for the journey to King's Cross station, Spectre sat down with Arluin, Who he had known his entire life and also worked with, and poured a glass of firewhiskey "I propose a toast to everlasting friendship, Shall our children have as great a friendship as the one we had back at Hogwarts" As he Raised his glass to Arluin replied "oh yes I remember them days back when we use to be the troublemakers, can you remember the day we planted the dungbomb in the Headmaster's office and it exploded all over his wife Genevieve, Such a shame she died giving birth to Calla though she would be so proud of her I have heard Great things about her from the Headmaster of Hogwarts you know, Anyways mustn't Waste time in the past as we must be going" with that Spectre Grabbed Talon's hand and Apparated to King Cross station.

Waiting for Arrow and Adrianna to Arrive to See talon off, as they cared deeply for their Godson, Spectre went and bought a coffee and a bag of muggle sweets for Talon, When he noticed a Shady character run into the wall that takes you to platform 9 ¾ thinking this might have just been a parent he paid no thought to it and continued walking back just in time to see Adrianna and Arrow walking in with little Alfie in In her arms and Arrow had Kassiopeia in a pushchair, Talon ran up to Adrianna and Hugged her then gave Arrow a nod of the head "can i hold Alfie please" talon asked as he loved spending Time with Adrianna and Arrow and would often spend weekends around theirs, Adrianna told him to wait till we have gone through the barrier then turned to Spectre said "Been a while the last time was 6 months ago when the twins were born" and With that they headed to the Barrier, Arrow passed Talon the Pushchair and said to go ahead and he will be though in a second as he said he need to speak to me.

Grabbing a Chair at a Nearby Cafe so that they were out of the way Arrow looked at Spectre with the most serious look Spectre had ever seen "So Arrow what do you need to talk about as we don't have long if we want to catch the train leaving."

Arrow looked at Spectre then tears started coming as he said "Spectre I have been asked to Assign me, you and Arluin a mission to go and kill Arluin's parents as they have turned to Anya's side and she is slowly getting more followers as time goes by."

Suddenly Spectre felt a tingle go down his spine, "ARROW GRAB YOUR WAND NOW I THINK SOMETHING IS WRONG ON THE PLATFORM" Arrow knew of Spectre's sense's and would always trust him Grabbing their wands they Jumped through the Wall.

As they arrived on the other side they looked up to see some figure Apparate away as a green bolt flew at Adrianna hitting her on the chest Spectre ran down the platform trying to get to where there were more spells flying but by the time he reached the area the Dark wizards had escaped and all that was left was One Dark wizard Spectre had stunned and the bodies of Elizabeth, Talon with Alfie in his arms, Arluin's Wife Chloe and next to her hand was an engagement ring and Calla next to her holding the pushchair with Kassiopeia in it and Cassiopeia, Arluin ran out of the train as it then headed out after Spectre had Searched the entire train, Arrow looked down at the dead bodies on the floor then turned to look at Spectre in the eyes and shouted "ANYA WILL DIE FOR THIS, I GUESS SHE IS READY TO COME OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND LOOK WHO IT WAS YOU STOPPED AN EX FOLLOWER OF MALCOLM I GUESS IT'S TIME WE TAKE THIS INTO OUR OWN HANDS."

Arrow then turned to the Captured wizard and Said "who Killed my wife, tell me now you scum or I swear I will Torture the answer out of you Scum" The captured Wizard just started to laugh and replied "TORTURE ME THEN I WILL NEVER SPILL THE INFORMATION TO YOU DO YOU KNOW WHAT ANYA WILL DO IF I GIVE YOU A NAME SHE WILL FEED ME TO ACHILLES AND I DON'T FANCY THAT" At this point Arluin noticed the ring lying next to his Dead Girlfriend and at that point he lost it " ...She Was going to ask me to marry her and now she's Dead, you don't have to tell me anything I will force the information out of you" and with that Arluin forced his way into the wizard's head, after 10 minutes Arluin finally spoke a name "JACOB GRABOWSKI" Arluin then turned to the wizard and said "AVADA KEVADRA" the green light flew at the Wizard and that was the last time that the Wizard Breathed a Breath.

Spectre Turned to Arrow who was shaking in anger and said "we will bring him in i swear on my honour that he will not get away with this and will spend the rest of his life in Azkaban" Arrow and Arluin both replied at the same time "NO HE WILL NEVER ENTER AZKABAN" Arrow then continued with "I WILL TRACK ANYA DOWN AND MAKE THEM ALL PAY, I AM NO LONGER THE EAGLE, FROM NOW ON I WILL BE KNOWN AS THE HUNTER, I'M SORRY PROMETHEUS BUT I CAN'T BE PART OF THE AUROR'S WHILST SHE LIVES, AND ARLUIN WHY DID YOU NOT PROTECT HER YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BROTHER IN ARMS BUT YOU LET HER DIE" and with that he apparated away.

Arluin then Looked at Spectre and said "SO WHY WAS THE GREAT PROMETHEUS NOT HERE, WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT THAT IT COULDN'T WAIT TILL AFTER THE TRAIN HAD LEFT" Spectre looked at Arluin and for a moment he thought about lying to him however he decided not to "Arrow was sent a message from the ministry we were sent a mission and he was worried about telling you as our mission was to try and attempt to capture your parents as they have freely joined Anya and Arrow knew of your love for them and also knew that the chances are things would turn ugly."

By this point Arluin had lost it and had his wand pointed at Spectre "SO YOU WANTED ME TO MURDER MY OWN PARENTS IS THAT IT WELL LET ME TELL YOU THIS IF YOU GO NEAR THEM I WILL KILL YOU, I AM GOING TO GO AND FIND THE TRUTH" Spectre looked at Arluin and replied "okay i understand I will give you 3 weeks after that I'm afraid I will have to go after them unless you're able to prove their innocent like you say also since I failed at protecting them dearest to me I will no longer be Prometheus from now on I will be SPECTRE the shadow that strikes before he is even seen and instills fear in people who just hear my name" With that Spectre apparated Away.

*3 weeks after the Slaughter of platform 9 3/4 *

Spectre Apparated to the location of Arluin's Parents as today was the last day that Arluin had to prove they were innocent and he had failed to inform me otherwise Spectre arrived at the door to see it wide open and the stench of death pouring out from the house as Spectre walked into the kitchen he saw the severed hand of a human lying on the Kitchen counter, Spectre followed the trail of blood all the way to the front room to see the body of Arluin's mum lying on the floor in a puddle of dried blood and multiple wounds on her chest, and a wand next to her her he knew the wounds were the work of the spell sectumsempra and the Father was nowhere to be seen it was clear that someone had murdered them but unsure of who, Spectre decided he would go back to the hideout and report this to the minister himself.

Just as Spectre was about to apparate away Arluin walked through the Door Twirling his Wand around his fingers "SO I SEE YOU CAME EVEN AFTER I WARNED YOU TO STAY AWAY" Spectre Span around and looked at Arluin, but he hardly recognised the eyes of the person he was now looking at where there was once kindness and love the was only darkness and despair "Arluin what happened to you please don't tell me you did this, please I'm begging you" Arluin just laughed and replied with "Of course I did, Anya agreed that to show her that I'm now loyal to her and only her, she asked me to kill them and that's what I did she even taught me a new spell to use maybe you want to taste it and with that Arluin shoot sectumsempra Straight at Spectre, not quite believing what he had heard he was slow to stop the spell and was hit directly on the check slicing it wide open, Using the last of his Strength Spectre apparated back to the Hideout and Was meet by the Sight of a Ivy, She helped Spectre to a bed then mixed up a Potion to help with the pain after She had closed the cuts up, She had offered him something to help the scarring but Spectre had Refused just before he passed out.
