A Whisper Too Late
As the family left the wandshop they found themselves in a battle of aurors and deatheaters. The streets were littered with dead and brightly glowing curse covered the sky from sight. This place was a battlefield no longer the wondrous place her sons had seen it as before. All this place reflected now was death.
A stray curse found its' way to the three leaving the shop, Harry hid behind his brother as the green light came towards them. Luckily for the pair the light veered and hit their mother who had just left the shop.
* I told you to leave did I not Harry-ssssir, you did not lissssten did you?
Harry watched the snake he'd met in knockturn alley slither towards him and curl around his arm. Severus watched his brother's face- he looked as if he was about to cry.
He refused to let /anyone/ make him cry, his mother was gone now, he needed to be the one to look out for them both now. His father would still be there of course but he was always so busy with the war and protecting them from afar that... that now Severus wished his father hadn't kept them so protected from the reality outside the manor.
Harry heard the snake's words and silently realized it was his fault for his mother's death. If he had listened they could have left they would have been alright. Now, he knew there was no waking from that green light he wasn't sure how he knew but just did. That light was forever etched in his mind as if it were a memory from long ago. His mother was dead and it was his fault, Harry failed at holding back his tears and simply broke down in sobs.
The trigger being set Severus raged, this was too much he needed to make sure he and Harry made it out alive now! Since he was still untrained in magic he found another way to force their way through if they had too. Picking up an auror's sword Severus made his way towards the exit using any force necessary to separate the crowds for Harry and him.
The sword in his hands he would make them pay for making them lose their mother and trapping them in this mess. These thoughtless creatures, they were no longer human. Severus made his way through the crowds parrying and plain slashing the deatheaters in his way. He felt their life fall onto the sword and cared not for the red liquid just that they pay and never harm his family again.
" Severus, Stop!!! Please no, please... I don't want to lose you too! Come back Severus!!!!"
* He does not here you massssster- he isss likes them now he cares not for any life but yoursss hissss soul is irrelevant he only caresss for you and yoursssss
" What do you mean? How will I stop him? Please tell me?"
* magicsss?
" I DON'T KNOW HOW!!!!"
* hmm.. don't get angry massster- hmm wait yesss that isss it ussse your anger let all feel it let it guide you to your brother, let it ease you painsssss
" SEVERUS!!!!!!!!!!!!"
A voice? Who's voice? Purple light filled the streets freezing all who battled. Alone in his capability of motion was Harry. His brother, the one he defended.... Was he truly doing what was best? He was a murderer now, the blood on his hands proved it. His only consolation was that Harry was still innocent. He would protect that innocence from now on.
Seeing that if he continued with this path he would inevitably lose the innocence he swore to protect, Severus regained his composure and returned to his brother. Together the two held their mother's body and willed themselves home.
Meanwhile, the battle recommenced.
Waii! Sorry is so short as well as late. *eeps! * I've been having extreme blockishness on how to portray Sevvie in this chapter - I'll probably add the funeral today and the rest of the time before Hogwarts starts. P.s. Harry's house is still up for debate the only exception being he can't be a Gryffindor in this timeline/reality. ^___^
