Windows

Chapter One

The woman living at Number thirty-three Saeb Street peered out her window at her husband mowing the lawn. As she watched his untidy black hair bounce up and down she chuckled at the thought of what their many enemies would say if they saw him now. Although both of them were only 18 years old the war had force both to grow up very quickly. He was an Auror, and so was she they were the first two to ever go through training in less than three years.

She sighed, and her husband stopped the mower to empty the grass catcher into the garbage can. She suddenly heard a small pop and glanced around for the note from the Ministry, finding it she picked it up quickly and read:

Agent 119,

Voldemort Spotted in Hogsmeade, Report immediately

Instead of a signature at the bottom of the page there was the official ministry symbol

The happiness that was there only moments ago was now gone. They were calling her husband to a mission without her. She did not have time to question this although as she ran towards the screen door that separated the inside of her house from their backyard. She wrenched the door open, and ran to her husband. She reached him and gave him the note, he read it quickly, kissed her good-bye, and disappeared quickly with a loud crack

She nervously paced the floor inside the entire house, pondering everything that could have happened, the Bad, and the Good. She glanced up nervously at the Grandfather clock positioned next to the front door, when suddenly it started to ring out, signaling midnight. As she started towards the couch in front of the television set, she heard the door bell ring.

Opening the door, in front of her stood the leader of the Auror's Fain Simper. "Agent 120, I umm... Well... I regret to inform you that Agent 119 your husband was hit by the killing curse during the battle to protect Hogsmeade..." She started to zone out after that, and was only brought back to what was happening around when Fain shoved her husband's wand into her hand, confirming this story to her. Fain apologized about what had happened, and disappeared with a loud crack.

She awoke with a cold sweat, and sat up right in her bed abruptly. Breathing heavily she stumbled into the kitchen to get herself a drink thinking about that nightmare that had been haunting her dreams ever since it had happened, two years ago. She was now 20 years old, and she had amazing silver hair, her eyes were a bright baby blue color. She was a small woman with a modest bust, and she was about five foot four inches. She had just recently been appointed to the Death Eaters Identification Department, and she was the youngest in the department. After her drink she noticed the time and she started into her normal morning routine. Shower, Breakfast, and then a little cleaning around her house.

Just before she was about to leave for work the owl with the Daily Prophet appeared at her front window pecking against the glass trying to receive her attention. She noticed the owl and let it in giving it a bronze knut, and taking the paper from it when the owl zoomed out of the window. She glanced at the front page before gasping the head line of today's paper read:
