A/N: Written for Drabble Tag in the Gift Giving Extravaganza forum.


Blazing red, racing hot over orange, light devouring the darkness. Mesmerising. The hues dance quick on their skin. They blend into the scene, figures in a painting. Marlene McKinnon and her parents and two sisters. The McKinnons. Purebloods. Blood traitors.

Basking in the bloody light. Sky above smoky, dusky, stars invisible. On the porch of their holiday home in the country, fields around them stretching greedily over the rolling hills, until they hit the dark moist of the forest. All that is visible in the distance is the black horizon.

They burn in the flames as beautiful as a sunset.
