So young, So damaged

Memory of Today

!! TW !! : mentions of vomit

June 20th, 1996
Juniper's POV

"Malia! Narcissa!" I heard Nott's voice but distorted from the amount of blur happening.

I was on the tile floor with Nott kneeling and holding my head to his chest. He took off my mask, helping me breath easier.

My breaths were short, the lack of oxygen was making me light headed. My face was pale after seeing the amount of red dripping down his clothes, soaking it up to a stain.

The light of my ring has died down by this time, but the memory of father kept replaying again and again in my head.

My eyes were dry from all my crying, I was now staring with wide eyes, traumatized from what i've seen.

My body trembled at every cool air that touched me, the goosebumps that risen only made me suck in a breath.

My vision is blurry from all of the chaos but I am able to make out Narcissa and Mums shoes running towards Nott and I.

"What happened?" Mother said as she quickie went to her knees and pulled me onto her.

I laid limp against her, she used her arms to hold me up and against her.

"Aha! I am here! Cissy! I killed Sirius Black! Aha! I killed Sirius Black!" Bellatrix apparated behind us and began skipping around in circles.

"Leave Bella." Narcissa said with a grumble.

The curly haired girl skipped along into her room.

Narcissa's was on the floor with us, she held my hand tightly.

"Malia... Your husband..." Nott looked at his hands, unable to make eye contact with mother.

"My husband what?" mother said out loud with force.

Nott put his callused hand onto mums shoulder. "I am sorry..." my friends father collapsed his head as he took deep breaths. "Callisto is gone."

It has been confirmed. Hearing the confirmation made me weep harder, my temples began to ache, my tears ran dry.

"No." mum said with a quiet voice, her lip trembled.

Narcissa sucked in a breath, her eyes was closed shut. Her breaths became short but she tried to slow it down.

Hearing mum find out what has happened only made the flashbacks reappear once again. I closed my eyes shut, trying to think of something else to erase the memory.

"I am so sorry." Nott pulled away from mother to give me a squeeze on the shoulder.

"He can't be. No. No. What happened?" Mother pulled me away from her chest, holding my face. "What happened to him?"

She shooked my head, but I was unable to think, I was unable to talk. It was as if I have forgotten about everything but still having the memories.

"I think you should go now Nott. Thank you bringing back Juniper." Narcissa got up and walked him to the door.

Once the door closed she rushed to mum and I quickly.

"What happened to him Juniper?" Her hands on my face only tightened. She shook my head once again, causing my temples to pulse.

Narcissa pried mother's hands off of me, she took me into her own grasp away from mum. Her cheek laying on the top of my head, she whispered sweet things like 'I'm sorry dear' or 'everything will be alright'.

"She saw him die Malia. Let the her calm down first." Narcissa said with wide eyes as she stroked my hair.

"I don't interfere with you and Lucius's parenting, I suggest you do the same. I need to know what happened to my husband." Mother said as she got up from the floor.
