A Third Light Shines
On, July 31st, 1981, in a sleepy little village in Northern England, a great tragedy and a profound new epic was about to begin. The Potter's a long and storied line of great witches and wizards, that believed in the light side, which battled and bled all through the great history of magic, all the way back to Merlin. They weren't gloryhounds or attention seekers, but more like the Paladins of old, who saw only justice and courage and compassion towards all. This was to be a night of great sorrow and wishful deliverance for the wizarding world as Voldemort extinguished two very bright and true lights, James and Lily Potter, only to be banished, if only temporarily, by none other than 1yr old Harry James Potter. But this was only the beginning………
August 15th, 1981, it was midnight, and in two separate wizarding homes Voldemort's minions would strike again. The home of Frank and Alice Longbottom was a cozy two bedroom cottage on a lake, quiet and peaceful, until the crashing of the front door being blown apart by Bellatrix Lestrange and five other Deatheaters. They came for information and a little revenge, as the Longbottom's were Aurors, and very good ones at that. Unfortunately this night they were taken by surprise and tortured to insanity, luckily their house elf " Dizzy" grabbed little Neville and "pop", they were gone.
Some two hundred miles away in the town of Glenlevin, The flitwick's, Emmy and Archibald, the same thing was to happen in a raid led by Lucious Malfoy. The front door blasted apart waking Archie and Emmy and alerted to trouble and being unspeakables, knew all about midnight raids and the propose of surprise. Both came charging down the stairs with wands up ready for a fight, when six red beams of light shot towards them, Archie thinking fast pushed Emmy behind the low wall leading to the kitchen, but in the process took three cutting hexes to the chest, dead before he hit the floor. Enraged, like a lioness protecting her cub, Emmy was firing spells off in rapid succession taking down three death eaters. Meanwhile Luscious had slipped behind her and fired the killing curse point blank, extinguishing another fine life. Annie, the flit wick's house elf, grabbed little Douglas and apperated away.
The next morning at Hogwart's school of witchcraft and wizardry Prof. Filious Flitwick, who had just sat down to eat breakfast, saw a regal looking ministry owl flying towards him and dropped a letter in his lap? Filious, the head of Ravenclaw thought it strange to receive a letter from the ministry opened it up to very bad news indeed.
Prof Flitwick,
It is with great sadness that I must tell you that your sister and husband were killed last evening in their home. Three Deatheaters were also found killed by your sister, but no one else was in the house. Again my condolence and I will let you know when I find anything else.
Sincerely,
Amelia Bones
