Me: Er, Ms. Rowling?

JKR: doesn't look up from book 6 Hum?

Me: Can I borrow you characters and world and twist it however I see fit?

JKR: still not paying attention um-hum… chews on pen cap

See, she said I could.

Avada Kedavrea

They're dead. I didn't even spend last Christmas with them, and they're dead. How can they be dead? It seems just yesterday Mum was explaining 'the facts of life' to me before I went back for my fourth year at Hogwarts. Oh, if I could have last Christmas back! I don't care if they did go skiing, I would have been by their sides the whole time! I'd do a double black diamond right now if I thought it could bring them back. They died protecting me. Vol…Voldemort knows that Harry, Ron and I run in a pack. We've thwarted him together at least once every year that we've been at Hogwarts. They must have figured the easiest way to get to us was through my parents. After all, they were muggles, what to a deatheater is threatening about a muggle?

Kingsley found them. He and a group of aurors found them, the deatheaters had been performing crucio on them for several hours before they got there.It looked as thought Mum and Dad had tried to fight them; the office was a mess, and mum's drill was covered in blood. The blood wasn't hers or Dad's. Mum and Dad knew where we were, they could have told them, they could have lied. They could have lived. But they didn't; for me they didn't. Kingsley said that Bellatrix Lestrange preformed Avada Kedavrea on my parents as soon as he and the other aurors walked into the room.

I should have spent more time with them. I should have written more often. I should have made them go into hiding, I should have asked Dumbledore to make me their secret-keeper, instead of making them hold the secret of my safety. One thing is for sure, though, If I ever meet up with Bellatrix I will perform the killing curse. And I will mean it.

Review, Please?
