Summary: Michael Thomas leaves his wife and child.
Notes:
Charms Class Assignment #7- Blood Bond Charm
Contains sorta of an OC but connected to a canon character.
Michael Thomas woke up next to his sleeping wife on a cold March night in 1980. He carefully kissed her on the forehead and got out of bed. Once out of their room, he slowly crept to his son's nursery. He opened the door and walked in. His precious two month old son Dean Michael Thomas was sleeping peacefully in his crib. He leaned over the crib and kissed his son's forehead. He wrote a quick note to his wife on some stationary:
Deb,
I love you and Dean so much but I must go."
Mike
He put it on the kitchen table. After that, he quietly summoned his suitcase. This is not the only secret he had kept from his beloved wife.
His name last name wasn't actually 'Thomas' it was Shacklebolt. He was a part of the formerly Pureblood wizard family 'The Shacklebolts' along with his older brothers Lionel and Kingsley. He had given Deborah a fake last name when they first met a few years ago in a pub. This was necessary because the Death Eaters were asking him to join and he vehemently refused and went into hiding falling for a muggle wasn't part of the plan but a happy surprise. Their son Dean was another happy surprise. It was time to face the death eaters again. He was cornered by death eaters a few days after he left his beloved wife and child.
"We meet again, Thomas or should I say Shacklebolt," the head death eater sneered at him.
"We do."
"Will you join us?"
"Never!" He exclaimed.
The death eaters sighed and took out his wand.
"You'll have to kill me first!"
The death eater flicked his wand in his hand for a bit actually considering the idea.
"I dare you!" he said courageously his Gryffindor side showing. He hoped if his son was a wizard he'd be a Gryffindor.
The death eater pointed their wand at Michael for a second and uttered the killing curse and the brave man crumpled to the ground. His last thought was of his precious son and wife. That caused a blood bond Charm to be cast on his sleeping son miles away.
The two month old baby woke up suddenly bawling his eyes out.
"Dean, sweetie?" Mrs. Thomas asked sleepily walking towards her son's crib. She expected her husband to take this shift.
The baby wailed. Deborah picked her son up and cradled him to her bosom. He must be hungry. She quickly fed her son. He calmed down after that she put him down. She walked down to the kitchen and found the note her hushed left. She crumbled on the floor and started to cry. How was she supposed to raise their son by herself?
A few days later, Kingsley was called out to the sight of another murder by death eaters. He wasn't expecting to find his baby brother's body. He was as stoic as ever at the scene but once he got home he started bawling.
