Chapter 11: Attack Part 2
(Lily POV)
The three giggling girls feel to the floor, each clutching their stomachs.
"That-was…" Bree said between laughs, "One of the funniest times…in my life."
"Remember the looks on their faces?" Ashley asked as her breathing came to a steady pace, "Those were some good times."
"Yeah, they were." I smiled.
"I miss those days." Bree said, leaning her head on my shoulder, "I wish we were back at Hogwarts."
"We all do." Ashley smiled.
"Well, girlies," I sighed, "What now?"
As if on command a brown barn owl swooped into our living room and dropped a letter on my lap. I gazed at the owl, confused, but he just hooted and flew back out the window as fast as he came in.
"What the hell is that?" Bree asked looking at the manila envelope.
"No idea," I shrugged, tearing it open, "Oh no," I said reading the first line.
"What is it?" Ashley asked.
Bree and Ashley leaned over my shoulder as I read the letter out loud.
[I]To: Miss Lily Evans, Miss Turner, and Miss Etters,
We are sorry to inform you that at eleven o'clock and one minute on November twentieth, Katie Potter and MichelleHomes were attacked and murdered by the evil wizard we do not wish to speak of. We do believe you've had contact with Katie Potter and MichelleHomes within the last twenty-four hours and thought you would like to know. If we receive any more important information we will let you know immediately.
We are sorry for your loss,
Cornelius Fudge
Minister of Magic[/I]
Suddenly all the happiness drained out of the room at the thought of our friends being murdered.
Murdered. Murder was something that had never happened to any of us. And after reading it so many times in the newspaper, I don't think its ever had such an effect on me like it does right now.
The three of us just sat there silently, with tears falling down our pale cheeks. I blinked my eyes a few times and stared at Bree and Ashley, who were looking as sad as I was.
"I can't…I just don't understand…" Bree said, trying to sort out her sentences.
"I know," I whispered, crying harder now.
Ashley, Bree, and I got into a three person hug and just cried. They were gone forever…and there is nothing we could do about it.
"I think," Ashley said between sobs, "We should get to the attack site and help out."
"I agree," Bree said quietly.
We got up, grabbed our cloaks and wands, and apparated to the attack site.
…
I felt my feet hit the floor. I can't open my eyes, seeing as I am afraid of what I might see. Death Eaters running about? Voldemort himself, laughing? Ministry officials everywhere trying to sort out the chaos.
Bree gasped beside me and I knew I had to open my eyes. I slowly opened them and blinked so the tears would clear up my eyes.
I saw almost exactly what I imagined. Except the death eaters and Voldemort, they must've left already.
Dirty sick hopeless scared bastards. I hope they run. I hope they get the hell away from here and not bother anyone again.
"There's Sirius," Bree said pointing to a group of Aurors, "I'm going to go see what's going on."
"Okay," I said, wiping my eyes.
I looked over at Ashley who was looking completely depressed. (A/N: In case you forgot, they were all great friends, but Ashley was closer to Katie and Michelle than Bree and Lily were. Also, in the beginning I made Katie James' sister. I don't really like that now but I can't really change the plot. So I guess I'll just have to stick to it [tongue]) I put my arm around Ashley and she laid her head down on my shoulder.
"After all these attacks," I said, "I never would've guessed it would've happened to them."
"Me either." Ashley sobbed, "I don't understand why. They were great people, and purebloods!"
"That just shows that he's not only after the muggle borns." I sighed, "We're all in danger now."
…
(No POV)
"Sirius!" Bree called, running up to him.
"Bree?" Sirius asked turning around, "What are you doing here? It's not safe!"
"I know," she sighed. James turned around and joined into their conversation, "What's going on?"
"Their all gone." James stated, "All the Death Eaters have already apparated out. The Aurors are just trying to sort out everything now."
"Why did they attack? Any special reason?" Bree asked.
Sirius looked over at James then hung his head, "How about I go over the details later, alright?"
"Why can't you just tell me now?" Bree said, looking from Sirius to James.
"I don't think this is a very good place to discuss things like this." James stated, "You should get out of here."
"I want to help." Bree replied, "I want to help you."
Sirius put his hands on Bree's shoulder and looked her in the eye, "If you really want to help, get home."
Bree stared at Sirius angrily, "Fine."
Bree turned away from the two top aurors and stomped off to find Lily and Ashley.
"What did they say?" Ashley asked as Bree approached them.
"They said go home." Bree glared, "But I'm not listening to them. There's a crisis and I'm going to help!"
"Me too!" Lily said, standing up straight.
"Maybe we should just go," Ashley suggested sadly, "I don't think Katie or Michelle would've wanted us to be in danger or be in the way."
"But-" Bree and Lily tried to protest.
"I really do want to stay and try to help," Ashley said sadly, "But I think this is a job for professionals."
"Maybe you're right," Lily sighed, "Come on, let's go."
The three girls stared at the destroyed house and apparated out.
Away with the Fairies4- To continue what I was saying up there, Ashley was much more closer to Katie and Michelle. Now that their gone, she'll form a special bond with Bree and Lily and you will be seeing her a lot more.
Thanks for reading!
