"I have located her master. Shall I go and perform the task?" A thin, gaunt-faced man crept from the shadows, hunched over in front of the dark, menacing figure facing him.
"No you fool, your magic will never be powerful enough to execute such a spell. No, you must stay here; I shall find another to do it. Bring me Lucius."
The balding servant scurried away into the darkness, returning presently with a tall man with flowing silver hair. He walked confidently in front of the messenger, but he had an unmissble look of fear in his eyes.
"Y-you wanted me m-master." he stumbled nervously over his words and hurriedly looked at the hard rocky ground below. He suddenly lost his remaining courage as the dark shape before him shook and a high-pitched laugh rose evilly from its mouth.
"Why do you fear me Lucius? The time has come now for you to prove your allegiance. I wish for you to do something for me. You should be glad that I have sent for you, others would gladly serve me."
"I-I am your servant oh dark lord, I will do anything you ask of me, w-what must I do?" The man trembled and bowed to the ground a mere shadow of his former self.
"I want you to complete a little spell for me Malfoy. It is simple, Wormtail shall fill you in with the details of it, that is, if you accept my offer."
"Of course I shall master."
"Good. Then you must leave tonight before it is too late." Lightening struck the ground, throwing the silver-haired man backwards; quickly he left, Wormtail following at his heels...
Laughter filled the air as the two girls continued their game of chess. Soon it would be the start of school and they would not meet again until next summer. For four years it had been this way, yet their friendship had lasted those years. Filia shook her head; her blonde curls hiding her face. She looked at the board, focusing on it, concentrating.
"You look so serious you know." The brown haired girl opposite laughed again; her friend was always like this when they played. "Come on and move your piece."
"I don't want my horsey to get killed, it looks so sweet," Filia, stuck out her bottom lip, her blue eyes shining with water. She sighed wondering where to move. "but I don't want any of my other people to get hurt either."
"They can't get hurt, their only chess pieces. Honestly, no one would think we were the same age the way you're acting. Who has beaten me at this all summer Filia? Where's the competitive cheat I know gone to, I know those tears aren't real, look you're smiling...?" They began to giggle again, abandoning the game in fits of laughter.
"Really you two, you're like a couple of two year olds. Now, do you want your dinner or shall I have to feed it to the owl?" A woman appeared in the doorway and hurried them downstairs. Suppressing their laughter they walked into the kitchen to eat. It was Wednesday, the last day before Filia left for school. As a treat they were given their favourite; roast dinner. They stared in awe at the steaming potatoes and roast lamb cooked to perfection, it was amazing. It was great how they both enjoyed the same food, they never had to argue when it came to that.
"Thanks mum, you're the best." the dark haired girl hugged her mother before sitting down to eat.
They had hardly eaten a bite when there came a loud knock on the door. Worried, the woman looked up.
"I wonder who it is, it's a bit late for anyone to come round. You girls stay here." The woman rose and answered it. All was silent except for a few whispers in the hall. The girls strained to listen but it was quiet again. They heard footsteps approaching getting steadily nearer. The door flung open and a man burst in, his pale face reflected in the moonlight...
"Alden, it's you. You scared us to death, why did you sneak up like that?" Filia looked angrily at the man, whose jet-black hair was dripping with rain.
"Sorry if I scared you, but I could smell Ellie's lovely cooking and I couldn't wait." the man stared lovingly at the woman in the door. Blushing, she entered the room, her grey eyes looking at her daughter who was laughing silently behind her hand.
"Well you must stay and eat, you're drenched, it's terrible weather outside." her face very red, Ellie made Alden sit at the table and join them.
The room was silent while they ate, the only sounds that could be heard was the rolling thunder outside and the soft hooting of an owl from the next room.
The girl stared at her mother. She was glad she had finally found someone. She knew how much she had gone through when her father died. However much she longed to know what he was like, she dared not press her mother for the painful details. The woman, although happy now, always had sad eyes. Gazing into them the girl saw a far away look in them as they looked out the window. Sitting up, she noticed Filia had the expression too, as if the storm were drawing her in. Alden was the same, his green eyes reflecting the lightening outside.
Leaving the table, the girl wondered into the next room. It was deathly silent, peering into the cage she saw that even her owl was still, staring out the window. Listening hard, she could hear footsteps outside. Feeling a sudden sense of dread, the girl fled back to the kitchen just in time to see the back door being wretched off its hinges. A man stood in the doorway, his silver hair blowing in the wind...
