A sad memory

It was summer and the school year had just ended.

The last couple of weeks had been the longest weeks Julia had ever had in her life.

Four weeks ago Julia had been waiting for her aunt in Hogsmead, her aunt had been working in Scotland for some months and was now coming home.

They had decided that they would visit Hogwarts and Julia's friends before they went home to Diagon Ally.

But little did they know what was happening at the school at that moment.

When they came to the Hogwarts gates they heard someone yell and a group of people came running out of the castle.

It wasn't before now that they noticed the dark mark that hung over the castle.

Julia felt like someone had just taken a firm grip around her heart and squished it very hard. Someone had been killed at Hogwarts, maybe it was one of her friends.

She was starting to get really scared and worried.

She saw the group of people, who had just come out from the castle moments before, was running towards the gates and were getting closer really fast.

She didn't recognise who they were, but her aunt did, "Death eaters!" she said with horror in her voice, "Hide! Quickly!" she commanded.

Julia didn't want to leave her aunt alone with the death eaters, but her aunt pushed her away roughly, and Julia fell to the ground next to a bush, which she crawled behind so she could see what was happening.

She could see that the death eaters were now aware of her aunt's presents.

Julia took a firm grip around her wand as the death eaters came nearer.

They were now right in front of her aunt.

She could see her aunt's lips moving, but she couldn't hear what she was saying.

The next thing happened so fast that Julia didn't realise it before it was too late; one of the death eater had pointed his wand at her aunt and a stream of green light had shot out of the end and had hit her aunt in the chest, she was death before she had hit the ground.

Julia gave a soundless scream and tears started to run down her cheeks, she covered her mouth with her hands, trying to be as quiet as she could.

She watched as each of the people in the group disappeared with a small pop.

As soon as the last death eater had disappeared she ran over to her aunt's death body and fell to her knees, wishing that this was a nightmare. She wanted to go into the school and see if they needed help or if someone in there could help her.

But she couldn't move, she couldn't leave her aunt here.

Suddenly she heard someone scream and she looked towards the castle, a man came running towards her really fast.

He came out of the gates, and Julia recognised him right away.

The pale face, the dark eyes and the greasy hair could only belong to one person, Severus Snape.

As he came out of the gates he looked around, and his cold eyes fell on Julia's tearstained face.

He looked at her for a moment and then he looked down at the death body in front of her, when another scream came from a place over him.

Julia looked up, so did Snape, and she got a chock when she saw what it was that had been screaming, above them was a large Hippogriff, circling over the gates.

Snape looked back down at Julia, and caught her eyes as a tear feel down his cheek.

The next second he was gone with a pop.

The hippogriff looked like it had been chasing Snape and now didn't know what to do.

Julia looked down at her aunt, "Now I'm all alone," she thought.

Her aunt had been the last person in her family that still was alive, the rest of her family had been killed the last time Voldemort and his death eaters were making everyone fear for their lives. Julia couldn't breathe anymore, the chock from seeing the death eaters and the dark mark, the fear of whom else was dead and the fear of being alone and without her aunt was too much for her.

A tear fell down her cheek and then all went black.

She woke up a little later in a hospital bed, and saw a familiar and kind face with flaming red hair and a worried expression stand beside her bed, "Oh, Julia dear how are you? Are you all right?" the kind voice that belonged to Mrs. Weasley asked.

Julia opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out, it was like she had lost her voice completely, so she just nodded her head.

"Julia, I'm sorry that I have to tell you this… but there are more bad news than the ones about your aunt" Mrs. Weasley said in a sad voice, Julia looked up at Mrs. Weasley and noticed that she looked like she had been crying.

"Julia, sweetheart," Mrs. Weasley took a deep breath and tears ran down her cheeks, "Dumbledore is dead,"
