A Story from the other side.

Forth year

Prologue

Chapter 1

I think the hardest part is knowing that they won't come home. It seems silly but it's the truth. Realising that their gone forever and not coming back. Knowing that they won't walk through the door right now and tell us about their trip.

I was just realising this as I sat in Alfie's arms, sobbing quietly. He was sitting stroking my hair, soothing me, telling me that it will all be ok and it will get better. Saying he knew and it will at be fine in the end even if it all seems hopeless now.

I knew he was right and that it would all be ok but all I could think was: Their gone, their gone and their not ever, ever coming back.

I wasn't sure how long I sat there for, sobbing and wishing how all this would be a dream, but I was vaguely a where of Alfie leaving and my sobs reducing. Vaguely a where of a dark, hooded figure coming into my room and placing his wand upon my arm. I felt the pain rushing through my body like fire in my veins.

There was only one thing I remember better than the pain. A pair of blood red eyes that seemed to be able to glare through me.

I slipped out of conciseness.
