Year 1: Two Powers

"Run Becka! Run!" Mrs. Blunt yelled to her daughter as her feet slammed against the pavement. No one followed behind them but they were there, merely lying in wait for the opportune moment to spring. Her daughter was only five years old and beginning to tire as they had been running for several blocks now. "Come here Becka," Jackelyn beckoned to her daughter scooping the little purple haired girl up. Once Becka was safe in her arms she continued running avoiding alley ways and dark corners.

The emergency Portkey was only a block away but every step made it seem farther and farther. She was now passing by a house on Hollow Godric where women could be heard screaming. A man shouted, "Run Lily! Run!" His screams followed a moment later. The house shined a luminous green and erupted into flames. In fear for her daughter Jackelyn kept running shielding her child's eyes from the flames and exploding hot ash.

A faint glimmer could finally be seen reflecting off a distant object. "The Portkey," Jackelyn picked up her feet and sprinted. She was now only a couple paces away when a man apparated in front of her. A dark hood covered his head and a skull mask covered his face. A skull tattoo with a snake coming out of its mouth could also be seen on his upper right arm symbolizing that he was a Death Eater. "NO!" Jackelyn pulled her wand from the inside of her jacket only for it to be knocked from her hands as though it were made of air.

"Give me the girl!" the man lunged his hand forward to grab Becka who was strangely glaring at the man in front of her. A moment later a metal object was sticking out of his chest materialized out of thin air. Jackelyn took this as her chance to reach the Portkey. However the man was not yet dead and grabbed her ankle tripping her to the ground. Becka flew forwards the fall making her disoriented but not enough to pass out.

She was awake for the terrible scene which played out before her. Three more men apparated around her mother as she struggled with the injured man. "She's ours now!" the man above her laughed. He looked down at her pulling his hood and mask off the reveal silver grey locks of hair which fell to his shoulders and brown gold eyes which glared down at her. "Avada Kadavra!" As the green light flashed out from the end of his wand Becka closed her eyes but only for a moment. When she opened them they were glowing a light green different from her normal blue green tinge.

"NO," the man looked her way. A second later a metal object was sticking out of his arm. He quickly put a force field around himself as more metal objects came flying towards him. He aimed his wand at her but the spell merely bounced off her chest sending her hand onto the Portkey which transported her directly to the safe haven.

As the man pulled the metal piece from his shoulder it disintegrated burning his hand. "We need that girl along with the other. The Dark Lord will surely be angry. She's strong that one and has the powers of her father."

Becka woke up in a room covered in a patchwork quilt with no recollection of what had happened in the past hour only for it to come flooding back to her suddenly. She clutched the pillow beneath her until the images and tears stopped flowing. When the room once again became still she opened her eyes to see a red haired, freckle cheeked boy looking at her with kind and curious eyes.

"Hi, my names Ron. Why's your hair purple?"

She passed out hearing a stern and motherly voice say, "Ronald Weasley leave her be!"
