Under Obsidian Heavens

(Insert Disclaimer here)

I guess we all take a breath and plunge into a new adventure…

Ok, just so this is out of the way, this story takes place five-six years after the first story - Within Blind Eyes. (Basically the time that Harry and the gang go on the hunt for Horcruxes)

So without further ado… the:

Prologue:

The night had fallen quickly after the summer storm had passed. On the dark horizon, the lightning still burst angrily at the ground. The straggling clouds were carried by a strong wind that made the wheat and cornfields bend double. Four shadows watched as the house in front of them winked out the candles and the occupants slip into their beds. They waited for another hour until one finally got impatient.

"This is taking too long!" He growled. He was shut up with a hand throwing him against the tree across the rode from the house.

"You will be patient, you blabbering fool." A voice hissed in his ear. "He will kill you is we fail him. Now shut up!"

"But how much longer? They must be asleep by now!" He snarled back.

The other two pulled back their hoods. Both were pale skinned and covered with prison tattoos. The two bickering stopped and looked at them then followed their gazes to where a curtain moved.

"Sev!" Gabby hissed. "The curtain!"

Mary froze then looked at Bryanna. But Bryanna wasn't anywhere. She was a cat and was now pouncing up onto the windowsill. Mary snuck back and pulled Severus away from the wall. She then gently pushed him and his two sisters into the sitting room. Then she looked back at Bryanna who seemed very nervous. She was too still and certainly looking at something. Mary forced her heart back into her chest and took a small jar from her robe's pocket.

"Mom, what's that?" Symphony asked.

"Hush. Take some, be sure not to spill." She offered the blue powder to her children. "Bryanna! Come on!"

The cat watched them a moment then leapt down from the sill, obviously distracted by something like a mouse. The four shadows smiled and began to pull out their wands as they crept their way towards the house's front gate.

"Sorry, Mary. But they got to go now. There are four Death Eaters waiting for us. They were crossing the road when I jumped back down." Bryanna pulled her wand out as a small dog and three other cats leapt down from the sitting room couch. They transformed into Garrisons. Mary tried to say something but Bryanna cut her off. "We will be fine. Now get!"

Mary felt her throat catch but turned to her children. "We are going to step into the fireplace and we are going to say-"

A loud boom shattered the front door. Spells began to ripple across the room as four Death Eaters inched their way in. Bryanna and the four other Garrisons fought back with vigor.

Symphony grabbed Gabby's hand and yelled out, "Mom's home!" And was gone with a blue burst of flame.

Mary shot a spell at one of the Death Eaters who fell to the floor in surprise. She grabbed Severus's shoulders and shoved him into the fireplace. She was about to tell him where to go but he had a completely different plan.

"Dad!" He yelled out. Blue flame sent him away. Mary felt panic rise in her throat and she shot another Death Eater before looking for Bryanna. She was on the floor, very still, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly open. She let out a small sob before sending a binding hex at an approaching Death Eater. Then an unspeakable pain sent her curling to the ground. Fighting it, she struggled to stand and take the jar with its last ounce of powder. She looked up at the Death Eaters and the Garrisons locked in battle before throwing the contents down into the ash beneath her. Someone knocked into her and yelled out,

"Headquarters!" Then all went blue and faded into black.

Sorry, very short… too short. I solemnly swear to write a longer chapter next.
