1.1 Chapter 9
Of Feelings and of Flashbacks
Later that night, when all the houses had gone to bed Charlie put away her dress into her trunk.
She lifted out her book for the next day and something glided onto the floor.
Scooping it up, she looked at it, with tears in her eyes remembering the worst day of her life and her biggest secret.
**************************************CHARLIE'S FLASHBACK***************************************
It was a relatively normal day at the Ryan household.
Dad reading the daily prophet and throwing fireseeds into the fire every few hours,
Mum in the kitchen, waving her wand to get the dishes washed and the two girls studying for an hour or two.
Suddenly the fire went out n Holly shrieked, I gave her a hug.
'Its ok Hollz' I said soothingly seeing the fear go out of her eyes from my calming words.
'Just think Liz, a few more days and we've got him' dad said to mum folding up his paper and entering the kitchen.
'Alohomora' He said opening the fridge and another click allowing the kettle to boil.
Mum smiled warmly 'We'll finally be safe again Lee'
Tweeters our owl dropped a red hot envelope that had a big light flashing on it.
Mum and dad knew it was bad news.
'Girls we're getting an unexpected visitor so we're going to hide you ok?' mum explained
'Ok mum' we replied uneasily
Dad and mum hugged and kissed us both 'we love you so much remember that' they told us as we realised how serious this was.
We all cried and dad put a charm on us, then the cupboard we hid in.
As we hid mum and dad their best to calm down the hooded person with the cold cruel voice.
'Avada Kedavra' he said and that was it, no more mum and dad, Holly and me sat and cried for hours in the cupboard.
I had had this vision so many times before and tonight there was a new detail…
There was another child, peeking from under the long robes, with short blond hair and a look of horror.
When the green light flashed into the cupboard, the boy turned away from the man.
'My business is done here' the man concluded folding up a piece of parchment and putting his wand in his robes.
The man turned towards the cupboard then into the night.
The man was… Lucius Malfoy.
Charlie threw her book on the floor and collapsed in tears.
'Damn Malfoy's Damn them' she kept repating.
Holly hearing Harry's own story about a billion times had plenty of time to think about her parents as it would have been their anniversary that night.
She pulled her dressing gown tighter, she was absolutely freezing, there was snow outside which was really unusual…just like the night her parents died.
***************************HOLLY'S FLASHBACK**************************
We were all sitting around doing the same as usual when tweeters dropped off the letter.
Mum read it, passed it to dad and both went deathly pale.
The next thing I know, me n Charlie were being kissed hugged and shoved in a cupboard.
The next thing I know there was a flash of green light and a little blond boy peeked from under the robes and looked directly at us.
I don't think Charlie saw but I did, I looked straight into his eyes and mine became fiery, I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming.
I'm sure he saw me but he didn't say a word, who he was I don't know.
I turned away not wanting to see my parents lifeless bodies.
She thought of the great time her and Harry had and her eyes once more became full of love
She looked at her watch and headed down to the common room to meet up with Charlie.
'Hey you ok?' Charlie asked giving Holly a massive hug, which she really needed.
'I guess so' she replied a little sadly
'What's wrong Hollz?' she asked concerned
Holly told her about all the stuff to do with Malfoy and Charlie was really sympathetic
When it came to telling her about the spell, Charlie's face reddened.
'If he aint careful he's gonna end up like his dad, a murdering lying scumbag' Charlie remarked her voice full of rage.
'Not only that, he's gonna leave a family parentless' she spat viciously
'Wait til I get my hands on him' She replied pacing the room.
'What are you on about?' Holly asked trying to calm Charlie down
'I think its time you knew the truth'…
