Ch. 2
Our Parents' Loss
Suddenly, Uncle Bob, (Dad's brother), rushed in. "Uncle Bobbo! Uncle Bobbo!" we cried, excited. He gave us a glare and pointed his wand straight at us. Dad skidded into the room. "NOOO!!!!! YOU CAN'T HURT THEM!!!" he yelled as Mum shuddered in the corner, also in the room. Suddenly, unnerved, Uncle Bob stamped his feet, clenched his fists, and pointing at Dad's chest with his wand, roared, "AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!!!" Green light sprung. Dad fell to the ground, life swept out of him. Mum gasped and we saw silent tears falling from her eyes. Uncle turned to her, still grasping his wand. Juliet and I both scooped up handfuls of baby food and tossed them at him, distracting him, and giggling at the same time. Clawing at the mess on his robe, he spun around to face us, "You stinky children! You don't know who you're dealing with!" He pointed his wand, yet again, at us, opened his mouth to utter the deadly curse that had destroyed Dad, when Mum lunged at him, grabbing his heels, scratching and yelling at him. He tried to yank her off, however failed to, as she touched her crystal, hanging on her neck. White fire flared at him, surrounding him, head to toe. He gave a yell, and as he flailed to escape, Mum grabbed us and dashed out of the door, not daring to look back. She rushed up to our Ford Anglia, (the Weasleys aren't the only ones with one!) jumped into the front, locked the doors, and crammed us into the front. She tapped the windshield with her wand and soon we felt a small buzz as our car took flight heading for Mum's home country, England. Juliet and I soon fell into a deep sleep. Since we were so young we couldn't help but stay calm. When we finally awoke, still sleepy, we were in England and our car was slowly lowering to the ground, then made a thud as it hit it. She hopped out of thee car and took us to the doorstep of the dusty cottage in front of us. Placing us gently on the mat, she straightened up and tacked a small piece of parchment on the grimy door; it read:
Dear Alice,
To make a long story short… Jack's dead. Voldemort, of course. Don't scold me for
putting the name. anyways, Jack's no good brother, Bob, had a plan with him, I guess. The plan looks like it's
going as wanted to me. I can't keep melonie and Juliet. I'd just be putting their lives in danger if I took them with me.
Take care of them and… Alice, let them know the truth when they get older. Don't keep it from them. Love you. Take
care.
Your sister
As she pulled away from the dusty door, we could see tears springing from her eyes. She murmured softly, "Gosh, I hope she's not on one of those Mongolian tours of hers again," she gently bent down and kissed us on the forehead, whispering, "I love you. I'm sorry. I have to do this."
*Readers, I know that was a little too mushy, but you'll have to live with it.*
She got in the car again and left us. Laying on the doorstep, it had begun to rain and the wind moaned. As we felt drops of water splash our face, we went into yet another deep sleep.
****************
Meanwhile, Mum drove over the Atlantic, nearing New York every second. The gas was running low in the car as she spotted a bay with several places she could land on. She urged the car forward and soon came upon one of the peers that she swept down onto. It was quite small, but she still had enough room. She was about to relax when a face sprung at the window. She screamed as she realized the face was of Voldemort himself. He faced her and slapped her through the open window as he spat, "Shut up! I've no reason to harm you unless you don't give the information I need! Now… where are the childen?!" She remained silent, however shook wildly. "Fine! You are ridiculous! Stupid! Ugh! AVADA KEDAVRA!!!" he yelled, his eyes bulging, his cloak flapping in the breeze. Mum was lost forever.

*There you go!!! Hope you enjoyed that chapter! What will happen to us? Why is Mum's crystal so important? Why am I so hyper? All answered later in the story. Except for my hyperness… then again…. What about…. (begins thinking like Pooh)
