Chapter 2
Tall Black-cloaked figures, their faces covered by silver/white masks flooded outside the house of Number four.
Lily Evans was walking back from visiting a friend's house and was some 200 yards away at the very end of her street when she caught a glimpse of her house, or lack thereof. Police were swarming the place where her house had been, and what was now nothing more than a pile of blackened rubbish being swallowed up by giant licking flames. Firemen hurried to put out the fire, but for some reason it just couldn't be put out. Her neighbors, her parent's neighbors, stood around a ways away, behind yellow caution tape and patrolling policemen. She stood in shock for a minute before coming to her senses and rushing towards the fire and shocking all the authorities. She ran right past some of them before they too came to realize what was going on and grab her by her arms, lifting her off the ground and carrying her away from the scene.
"NO! Stop! My parents are in there! Let. Me. GO!"
"I'm sorry miss; we can't let you go in there-"
"No please, it's my family! They're in there! Are they alright? Did they get out? What HAPPENED?" Lily screamed.
"Miss, we're sorry, but our firemen found the remains of two bodies in the fire, most likely a male and female." The policeman said to her, showing absolutely no compassion. Lily broke down in tears, falling defeated to the ground. She wept as a neighbor came over and consoled her. Through her tears and sobs she was just able to ask, "What about my sister? Is she okay?"
"Yes Miss, she's waiting in a police car, it seems she was out on a date when the accident happened." Lily nodded gravely and made her way over to where her sister was said to be. She got into the car with her sister. But she didn't day anything, nor did Petunia. They just sat there, each wallowing in their own grief. Eventually Lily cried herself to sleep, sleep filled with nightmares of fire and death, but mostly a giant green skull looming in the night sky.
