Isn't life funny

But it wasn't. One instant I was standing beside Sirius, surrounded by all our friends and family. The next I was waking up in a deserted-looking shack. It was aged, gloomy, and reeked of decay. I couldn't recall much of what happened. I remember the priest about to ask me the 'I do' question when a group of death eaters appeared. The battle was only clippings in my mind. Sirius and Remus fighting side by side. Harry and the others attempting to keep anyone else from entering. I remember pulling my wand out, casting a protective field around us. Sirius and the rest of the order finished off the ones left behind.

In the end, Sirius turned to me, exhaling deeply. His gaze softening, relaxing for a moment. I made a move to walk towards him when a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. All I remember seeing was the look of horror on his face. Hearing as everyone called my name. Sirius the loudest of all.

Hearing footsteps approaching, I stood up, ready to take on whatever was coming. Pulling my wand out, I growled at seeing Lucius Malfoy walk in. "Why am I not surprised. Isn't kidnapping a bride a little too below you Lucius."

Lucius pulled a face, sitting on one of the seats. "You are not that special Athena."

"Oh, but she is Lucius."

I froze upon hearing that low sickly voice. My heart began beating against my chest. The room in the air had suddenly turned ice cold. The chills felt like glass shards running through my body. I didn't dare and turn. It wasn't that I was afraid of him. It was more fear of what he was going to do. I was in a tough situation. Moving only my eyes, I counted five death eaters in the room, I stood no chance of escaping. I listened as he walked from side to side behind me. I was sure he was contemplating the best way to kill me. But why me?

"When I was told, I was rather disappointed." He spoke. "Even more so when they said it was a girl."

I frowned, itching to turn and look at him. 'What the hell was he talking about?'

"But, you get what you get." He said. "To late to return you and I suppose you would come in handy."

"What?" I couldn't stop myself from wondering. Handy for what?

His laugh sent nightmare chills down my spine. "Oh, my dear child." His hand suddenly landed on the top of my hair. His cold fingers running them through. I was sure I was going to vomit right there. "You should ask your mother."

"My lord." That voice. I knew that voice! Breaking free of my frozen status, I turned around to find Snape standing among the death eaters. 'What the actual fuck?!' What was he doing here? Why was he here? And did he just call him my lord? Snape wouldn't even acknowledge me. His gaze always on Voldemort or the ground, but never on me. "It would be best if the mother were to tell her."

Nodded, moving his hand up and down. "Yes, yes. Bring the mother."

I glanced around confused. Mother? Who's mother? My mother? Were they talking about my mother? My mother was back at the wedding. Sure enough, Draco's mother walked out with my mother. "Mom?" Rushed towards her, I was stopped by Lucius. His arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me against his chest. "Let me go!" In a moment of rush, I jabbed my elbow up, hitting him right under his jaw. Being released, I ran to my mother, shoving the woman away from her in the process. "Mom, are you alright?" Checking her over, I found no injuries. "Hey, you okay?"

"I am fine." She refused to look at me.

Following her line of view, I grew even more confused. She was staring straight at Snape. "What are you doing here? How did you get here?" I yelped as I was suddenly pulled away from her. A burst of pain shot up my back, as it hit the ground. "Bloody hell!" Forcing my eyes open, I glared at the man standing over me. Lucius had a bloody lip as he curled them up in a snarl.
