Chapter 3
Markus's Sacrifice
Mat awoke to find himself on a soft mattress, covered in woollen blankets and conformable.
He opened his eyes to reveal a dark but warm room.
"He's awake Clear, we will soon see if Markus's sacrifice was all for nothing" A male voice whispered.
"Shhh. Hello my name is Clear can you tell me what your name is?"
A woman in a dark purple robe with long brown hair asked him
"Mat miss" mat noticed that both the women and the oldish man with red hair looked surprised
"Weren't you tortured?" the man asked. Mat only nodded his response.
"He's not mad!" the man said to Clear. Mat felt a prang of anger
"Of corse I'm not mad. now do you mind telling me were I am and how I got here?"
Both the man and Clear glanced at each other then the man spoke.
" When Markus herd that you had been taken, he was very upset. I'm not sure if the boy was thinking straight, but he knew that the Death Eaters would swap him for you . nothing any of us did could convince him other wise. So that's what he did, he went and organised a swap. He said he couldn't live with him self knowing that you were there. and now my son is there in your place. he placed a memory charm on him self before he went. he was a powerful wizard he had great potential"
A tear slid down the old mans cheek highlighting his wrinkles.
Mat leaped up in the bed found his coat and began to through it on.
"And what do you think your doing?" Clear asked
"I'm going to go and get him back"
"I'm sorry but we cant let you do that. my sons sacrifice wasn't for nothing and you going back to them will make if for nothing. he wouldn't remember you now any way. with out any knowledge or information he's useless, he's probably dead by know. You've been here for 2 days now"
The man stood and moved in front of Mat who looked shocked and shook his head.
"But why would he do something so stupid. he could have done something for our corse. he was powerful he could have done something"
Mat looked at his hands "these are all I have what can I do.. Why did he sacrifice him self for a useless muggle?"
"Because young man to him you were more than a muggle you were a friend. something so precious to him that he swapped place's with you. Such a sacrifice is not to be taken lightly. you will be staying here with us, we can protect you" the man said softly
"I think that its best right now if you got some rest. tomorrow I will introduce you to every one else here at the Order's official head quarters"
Mat nodded still a little shaken up after his ordeal and his recent findings. He felt numb as he went back to sleep. he didn't even notice the others leave. But he did come up with one resolution. He would do something with his life something that would justify his friends sacrifice even if I did cost him self his life.and he knew just how. he would help the Order to find the Box of Lucius the first.
