Chapter 15

Callie was near to tears. It had been a week since she found the note from Charlie explaining how she's run away, and now Callie was desperately alone. All she had wanted was a normal family-had that been too much to ask?

Her husband still hadn't appeared, and Callie dreaded telling him about the note. All she could wish for Charlie was a long and happy life.

She sniffed, and stood up from the chair she had been sitting on, and went to feed Nagini. She had to get the large snake out of the cage, and placed her carefully on the floor in the corner of the room. The snake just hissed at her, and stared. Callie shrugged, turned around and bumped straight into Narcissa.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"Have you done it yet? Have you left your husband?"

Callie sighed. "No, Narcissa, and I don't plan to. I'm sorry about Draco, truly I am, but you knew exactly what you were getting into when you joined the Death Eaters, so get over it, ok?"

Narcissa hit her over the head with her wand.

"Ow! Cissy, don't-"

"You better do as I told you, or I'll tell him everything!"

"I'm going to be telling him everything but he still wouldn't-"

Just then, none other than Voldemort himself, Apparated into the room. He saw the scene of Narcissa threatening Callie and instantly whipped out his wand.

"NO, Tom, don't you dare, leave her alone!"

"Why do you pretend to care for me, Callidora, I can fend for myself!" Narcissa snarled and turned on Voldemort, who looked confused at the two women fighting.

"What's going on here, you-"

"NO NARCISSA DON'T!" Callie saw her old friend mouth the words, wand pointed at Tom, and instinctively ran in front of him.

The green light flashed like lightning into Callie's chest, and instantly, the light left her eyes.
