Virginia woke up screaming. She had dreamed that dream nearly every night since she was seven and still it scared her. She wished she had never wittnessed her Fathers death. She looked around and tried to erase the images from her mind. Beads of sweat prickled her forehead and her dark hair clung to her cheeks. She reached under her pillow and pulled out a picture of her Father. She smiled at those blue eyes and pressed the photo close to her heart.

" Virginia " he said as he bent down towards her. " I want you to promise me something."

" Anything Daddy " she smiled at him and sat on his knee.

" Promise me you will never get involved with bad magic. Not even if Mummy tell's you too."

" Daddy I'm only seven."

" Promise me."

" I do."

" Good girl. Now come on , go grab your coat and we'll go down to Mr Floreans Ice Cream Parlour. They have the best Ice Cream there. When I was a kid I used to go there every summer with my friends..."

The doorbell rang as Virginia raced up the stairs. Aaron opened the door and a young witch walked in. It was Mylene , Aarons Sister.

" Why haven't you left yet?" she asked sharply.

" I'm not leaving " said Aaron.

" So what then? cried Mylene. What are you going to do , wait here for Voldemort to kill you?"

" I'm safe here."

" Aaron that wife of yours..."

" Bella has changed Mylene. She has turned away from Voldemort."

" Dont count on it " snapped Mylene. " Two more of us were harmed last night Aaron."

" Who? " cried Aaron.

" The Longbottoms " sighed Mylene. " They were tortured with the Cruciatius curse."

Aaron clenched his fists. " How are they?£

Mylene cleared her throat. " Destroyed. The were tortured into insanity. They have a little boy who has moved in with his grandmother. They are confined to a ward in St Mungos Aaron. The healer told me , it's likely to remain their home for the rest of their lives."

Aaron rubbed his eyes in disbelief. " Frank and Alice. I just ...I cant believe this..."

" Well you better " snapped Mylene. " Thats four members of the Order gone. First the Potters and now the Longbottoms. It isn't safe anymore Aaron. We must hide. The Aurors say they have an idea of who tortured them."

" Dont say it Mylene."

" Where was she last night? asked Mylene.

Aaron sighed wearilly. " This isn't fair."

" You haven't answered my question. Where was she? Where was Belletrix?"

" I dont know " cried Aaron.

" They are after us " said Mylene. " They are hunting us down one by one."

" I am safe here with Virginia."

" Jesus Aaron. It's one thing to be sentenced to death. But to sign your own death warrent , well thats just pure stupidity."

" I am not afraid."

" Maybe not " cried Mylene. " But what about that poor child of yours. Do you want to sentence her to a life of misery too?"

" Virginia is safe and Bella is a good..."

" She is in no way a good Mother Aaron. She has polluted and warped your mind to the extent that you are actually defending her bad Mothering skills."

" Thats my wife you are insulting..."

" Wife " cried Mylene. What Wife. A wife stays at home to care for her baby and spends time with her husband. A wife comforts her husband and provides company at difficult times."

Aaron sighed and sat into a chair. " Please just leave me Mylene."

Mylene smiled as Virginia came downstairs and towards her. She picked her up in her arms and hugged her.

" Aaron promise me if anything ever happens or go's wrong. That you will contact me straight away. If anything ever happens to either of us. We need to ensure that this child id safe."

Aaron nodded. " I promise you."

" Good. She picked up her coat and opened the door. " I hope you know exactly what you are doing."
