Chapter 10: The Breaking of Dusk
The next morning there was tension in the air. Nobody quite knew why, but something, something was going to happen. Addie looked up from her breakfast.
"You look awfully nervous today, Theo. Anything you'd like to talk about?" She smiled innocently, looking at Jade. The sister nodded and gave the sygnal to Crystal, who in turn gave one to Christine. Jade piped up.
"Well since today is the 3rd, Dusk Awakened needs to have a meeting. We have meetings a lot. So, er, we'll just be going upstairs now."
"Smooth, sis, smooth." Addie said as they walked up the stairs.
"O shut up you. I'm still hungry, so you better be making me lunch later." Christine spoke up.
"So, Addie, what's with the emergency meeting?" They sat in Jade's room, as it was the biggest. "I, Christine, co-founder of Dusk Awakened, declare this emergency meeting started." Jade and Crystal rolled their eyes, Addie using all her might not to. She stood up, taking Christine's place.
"Last night I fell asleep in the living room. Right before though, I heard Theo come down and make a call by floo. I couldn't hear most of the conversation. All I heard was something about murder. I don't know what's going on, but we should probably talk to Double D. I don't like the way this sounds." The girls agreed and starting heading downstais. Addie grabbed Jade's hand before she left. "You guys go on ahead and get dressed. I need to talk to Jade for a minute." The girls went back to their rooms. "Jade, is Varya ok? You looked pretty worried yesterday."
"O ya, she's fine. I'm just pretty anxious. I miss them a lot, ya know. Mommy and Daddy, I mean. I'm still not quite adjusted." Addie gave her a hug.
"Ya, I'm still not used to it either. It will get better in time. Let's just hope that we have some peace and quiet for a bit." She got up and left, and both girls got dressed.
When the posse met up again downstairs, everybody but Sirius had gone. Jade went up to him.
"Where is everyone?" He looked up from his coffee.
"Well, Harry and Draco are visiting Draco's mother. Dumbledore is with them. Pansy, Blaise and Theo are upstairs chilling in their room." The girls gave eachother glances at Theo's name. "And since there was another Death Eater attack this morning," another glance, "Remus is on duty. Ron and Hermione are upstairs doing whatever hetero couples do. O shit. You don't know about Draco and Harry. Get it? I'm working on one of all you guys, actually. I'm working on a painting of you guys. No commissions this week. Nothing better to do." Sirius smiled, putting his coffee cup in the sink. He told him he'd be in his studio if they needed him and left.
"So what should we do then? Double D is busy." Addie started pacing.
"We can take shifts. I claim third." It was decided that Crystal would do the first shirt, Chrisine the second, and Addie would go last. Crystal got out a book and started reading on the couch, waiting for something to happen. When her two hours were up, she went upstairs to Sirius' studio, where the other girls were posing for the older man. Christine quickly got up to start her turn. After about an hour, they heard a series or soft thuds.
"What was that?" Jade and Crystal chorused.
"O it was probably just Kreacher walking around. I was hoping he had died. O damn it all." The girls kept a sharp ear, and several moments later they heard a scream. Crystal started rising off the floor, floating towards the stairway. She quickly dissepeared, the other occupants of the room dashing to the living room. Crystal was already there, crying.
"He killed her. That bastard killed her." She was sobbing, holding Christine in her arms. Addie went up to her, and pulled her away, Crystal immediately grabbing her into a hug. Jade turned into Sirius' chest, hugging him tight. (A/N: Refrains from Jade/Sirius with all her being) Sirius was the first to make the connection.
"Jade!" He took her shoulders. "Go upstairs and see if Pansy, Blaise, and Theo are okay." She nodded, calling Theo a bastard. Addie started explaining what she had heard the previous night. A minute later, the unconcious forms of Pansy and Blaise drifted into the room, Jade carefully setting them on the floor.
"They're fine. We need to find Theo." Jade jolted her head, and went behind the couch. She dragged a limp Theo from behind it. She magically binded him to the floor, and accio-ed a bottle of veritaserum to her hand. She muttered ennervate and watched the light come back into his eyes. Slamming his head against the ground, she started to question him. "What did you do to her!" She got no response, and forced the serum down his throat.
"What is your name?"
"Tom Nott."
"Where is Theo?"
"He's dead. I was ordered to kill him at the beginning of summer. I was forced to kill him, along with my other siblings." Addies's eyes opened with realization.
"You're his older brother, aren't you?" She said.
"Yes." Jade resumed her questions.
"Whom do you work for?"
"The Dark Lord."
"Why did you kill Christine?"
"I thought she was Harry Potter."
"How did you know Draco and Harry would become friends, and that everybody would come here?"
"It was foreseen." He started to choke, and despite even Sirius' best attempts, he was dead in five minutes. Christine had managed to cast a spell on him, whatever it was…
"I can't believe… she's gone…" Crystal fell to the floor. Addie brought her upstairs, knowing that she and Jade would have to keep up appearences. Jade stayed, talking to Sirius.
"Christine was always really good at the voice copying spell. She probably heard Theo coming, and lured him in. Most Death Eaters are quick, she didn't have time to react I'm guessing. This is going to fuck up Crystal." Jade looked down. "I better go check on her." She started walking away, and Sirius caught her arm.
"How can you have no emotion in this? You're best friend died!" She looked up, pain evident in her eyes.
"There's a reason Draco and I get along so well." She walked up to the attic, leaving Sirius in a daze behind her. After a moment, he ran to find Kreacher.
"Kreacher! GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
"Evil piece of filth." The house elf appeared before him.
"Go find Dumbledore. Tell him theres been an emergency, that Draco and Harry are not safe. Then find Remus and tell him the same." Kreacher vanished, leaving Sirius alone. "It's going to be a difficult week."
A/N: Heh. Sorry it's late. My sister moved in with us, bringing her lovely 4 and 5 year olds with her. Heh. (goes crazier than she already was) But it was made all better last night. (wicked grin/smirk) The next few will be short.
