The
pounding started, it echoed into the sitting room where the small,
happy family now sat. Of course, none of them thought that what was
behind the door was a threat, in fact, they had no idea of the
horrors they would experience tonight, or that two of the five living
creatures in the room would be dead.
But, of course, as Robert
stood and brushed his hair away from his face, he hadn't the
slightest inkling to take his wand, nor had he any idea that the man
that was about to burst through the door was armed with a sharp, thin
blade that could fit in between his ribs easily. Now as he stepped
into the hall, the door was blasted open. Grindelwald, the Dark Lord
of the age, the most powerful, the most feared, and the harshest
wizard in Britain.
Grindelwald
eased himself into the same hall as Robert, who, by this time, had
his wand out. The Dark Wizard had, of course, made himself known by
blasting the door open with a loud bang and the crack of the wood
following shortly after. His eyes were cold, an icy green with no
pity to be found. His strides were long and swift, that made his
cloak billow out around him. His greasy black hair rested just above
his shoulders and it too flew out a bit behind him.
Robert back
away and quickly returned to the sitting room. His eyes held a sense
of urgency as did his voice when he spoke to his family.
"We
need to leave, and we need to leave now." he said, taking his wand
and motioning for his wife to do the same.
Alexis did as she was
told and brought her wand from her pocket. She looked into her
husband's eyes and the looked shared more than words.
"Alexis,
take the boys and go, I shall catch up to you, don't
worry."
"Robert, it's me, I shall worry until I see you
again." Robert smiled at her as she said this. He gave a knowing
nod of the head.
Alexis
took Aberforth and Albus from the room. She seemed uneasy and
uptight, even the two boys could tell that. Her eyes shot around the
room they had just entered as she closed and bolted the door.There
were sounds of battle just outside the door and then a thud of
a body against the door. Next there was a scratching sound and
shouting. Soon there was the sound of a sword being pulled from its
sheath and a gagging sound.
Alexis opened the door a bit; just
enough to see her husband with a sword run through his heart. He was
gagging and blood spilled from his mouth as he tried to pull away from the
sword. She closed her eyes and fought back tears of pain and
rage.
Albus and Aberforth looked on in fear as their father fell
to the ground. Grindelwald was slowly pulling his sword from the
other man's chest with an insane smile touching his lips. He licked
the blood off the sword and turned to the others. Alexis didn't
waist time and closed the door quickly. She made her way over to the
only window in the room and threw it open.
"Now,
boys, whatever you do, look at me boys!" Alexis said, tears in her
eyes, "You must listen to me." they nodded. "Now, when you get
out, through this window, you must keep running no matter what
happens."
"You will follow, right mum?" Aberforth asked,
his eyes filled with fear.
"I'm going to be honest with you
two, and say this: I don't think I'll be following you, I don't
know if I'm going to live through this," Albus was crying now.
"Calm
down Alby calm down child." she said gently, running a hand through
his hair, tears were streaming down her cheeks. There was pounding on
the door as Grindelwald tried to force his way in. Alexis turned to
look at the door before looking at her children again. "Go, go now
and run away boys. And remember, I love you two more than anything
else, even more than life." they nodded solemnly and jumped out the
window.
As they sprinted away they heard Grindelwald's voice
trail back to them.
"Now
my dear, let me at them and your death shall be a quick, painless
one." he said coldly.
"Over my dead, lifeless, corps you
unsanitary snake!" Alexis bellowed.
There was a flash of bright
light and a scream as the boys tore away from the house, running as
fast as their legs would carry them, they knew it even then, their
mother and father, were dead.
