Jared stands up and walks away for a moment trying not to look at his dead friend lying in the puddle of blood. Memories begin to flood Jared's mind of his seventh year of school and all the time he has spent with Abby. Jared takes a deep breath as his mind becomes clear and he begins to think again.

"Okay, so what is the time of death" Jared asks turning back around masking his rage and becoming serious.

"Around three a.m." One of the Arour's says being pulled out of his daze. Jared nods turning Abby's lifeless corpse over and examining the hole through her skull.

"Do you have any idea of what created this hole" Jared asks before sticking his finger inside of it to see if any residue was inside. He pulls his finger out as blood drips down from it like a water faucet that is broken.

"That is what we are confused about sir... we have absolutely no clue... we think it may be a new kind of magic" The officer says feeling stupid. Jared shakes his head.

"Well seems like we have a mystery on our hands. Take the body down to the morgue so her loved ones can take her for a funeral" Jared says laying a blanket over the body before turning around and walking away. Jared continues to walk as a tear rolls down his cheek after the sight he has seen. In the distance he can see Ron exiting an apartment area where Abby was living.

"Ron, over here" Jared yells as he begins to run towards him. Ron turns around trying to mask his sadness after hearing that Abby hadn't returned home last night. Jared reaches Ron panting like crazy

"I've got some bad news" he says as Ron can see a sad look in Jared's face.

"W-What is it" Ron asks as Jared catches his breath.

"I want you to hear it from me first...Abby was murdered last night" Jared says as Ron clenches his fist tight masking his pain and sorrow. A blood filled tear glides down Ron's cheek, just before he turns around and begins walking slowly as the world around him become a vicious disease that is always trying to kill him. Jared tries to run after him, but his feet tell him otherwise as he becomes immobile. Only able to stand and watch his friend breaks down. As Jared stands time around him slows as everything around him becomes a grey abyss of images of the world that thrives on the blood of the innocent.

Ron slowly entered the lopsided home of the Weasley's. As he walked through the threshold and into the living room to find a roomful of cheery faces. Ron paused and took a deep breath, preparing himself for the task that lie ahead. Slowly walking into the room making sure that the tear stains were hidden, Ron said hello to the occupants of the room. Sitting down in the plush red armchair by the fire, Ron turned to the group. Taking a deep breath, he told the crowd the haunting news.

"Well Abby was murdered" Ron spat. The crowd looked at him in disbelief. Tears gathered in Ginny's eyes, and rolled down the rosy cheeks of Molly. Arthur wrapped his arms around his wife and let the tears stain his worn out robes. Ginny now had tears pouring down her face in rivers. Harry could only watch Ron. Most of the Order had no idea who Abby was and did not know how to react. So, they sat there trying to comfort the ones affected. Ron sat there quietly, watching his friends and family mourns. He felt something new, emptiness. Not knowing what to do, Ron fled. Silently getting up he ran from the room. Once he was alone, Ron cried. He did not know how long he cried, but he did. He let all the feeling pour out of him. The tears flowed down his cheeks and pooled in his lap. While Ron cried he also thought, he thought about lots of things. He knew that he would never be able to live without Abby.
