A/N: Sorry for recycling old information but I feel as though it's needed and so is the other POV's
"WHAT?!" both of them said. "Hey, I may be human, but my ears are still sensitive. You know a bit about our politics; so, you probably know that there was a wizarding war recently in Britain, with me and tom at the head of both sides. You may know him as Voldemort, or he-who-must-not-be-named, wow that's a mouthful. I teamed up with Hermione and Ron to kill him, finding his horcruxes and destroying them. So, why we're hoping to keep me human is that I collected the deathly hollows, effectively making me the master of death. I didn't think about that specific portion when tom was attacking Hogwarts school."
"I'm descended from one of the Percival brothers, so, when my parents were killed by tom," I choked on my words, "when I was one, I gained possession of the invisibility cloak that belonged to death. In my sixth year when Dumbledore died." I couldn't help it, but I choked on my words again, I continued "Draco Malfoy gained position of the elder wand, it was created by death and one of the hallows. At Malfoy manor." My insanity and Ron's death flared in my mind, but I continued without hesitation
"I won the wand from Draco, and at the battle of Hogwarts thanks to Dumbledore's will, and Professor Snape's memories. I was able to find the resurrection stone, the last of the hallows." I knew I was close to sobbing; the heartbreak I had stored away with Aro's help, was all coming back to me, but so did the pity I felt towards tom. "Tom gave me the option of meeting him in the woods and letting him kill me so he wouldn't hurt anyone at Hogwarts. When he sent the killing curse at me, I did die, but not for long, I chalked it up to the protective magic my mom gave me when she died for me; however, I was older then seventeen at the time, so that magic would be null and void."
"I didn't realize at the time it was, or that, collecting the hallows made me the master of death." I felt cold hands grab me from behind my instincts flared before I smelled who the arms belonged to. It calmed me a lot and made what I said a lot more bearable; I also noticed his two brothers came into the area above the staircase. He decided to take it from there, but he said it grudgingly as if he just swallowed an extremely sour lemon. "She only realized that she was the master of death four days ago, when she was in a car crash, her heart had stopped for more than two minutes and it started again from there she connected the dots." Both of them went to me to hug me, and although the effect wasn't as calming as Aro's, it still helped, and I was grateful for it.
Aro' Point of View
I was catching up with Caius and Marcus before I told Rebecca that we had to go to wizarding Britain in two weeks. It was then I felt through the bond my mate was in destress. I took off running, I found her explaining to Athenadora and Diana what I already knew, I hugged her from behind and something unexpected happened her mind opened to me and I saw the past few moments through her mind before I tried stopping the flow of memories. She must have lost her hold on occlumency, it was through this break in occlumency that I saw just how heartbroken she was after the war. I had to stop myself from growling, it was hard but one of the things that surprised me most was that not only was she the famous Rebecca Potter. Which was something I completely overlooked, but that she felt pity for the monster that took her entire life, away the monster that made her scream at night before she met me, the monster that hurt her.
I couldn't help the grudging edge to my voice from the memories I just saw, my family seemed to get the idea that I wanted them to leave because everyone left me alone with her, it wasn't until everyone was gone that she finally started to cry.
Caius's Point of View
After Aro left the room running we followed, and we found Aro trying to comfort her, and he grudgingly told us about her most recent deadly adventure. I had the feeling Aro wanted us to leave so I started doing so. The other's caught on and came with me; after we got out of earshot in the office Marcus asked, "what did you ask her that caused Aro to rush over to where she was?" Diana looked like she felt terrible, Athenadora as well, we both tried to comfort them. Athenadora finally spoke. "We started joking about how it would be faster when she was a vampire to go up all the stairs, and she said that Aro and her were planning to keep her human. Of course, we freaked out because why would Aro allow keeping her vulnerable? she explained, and it was so sad a story."
Diana started dry sobbing, "does Aro hate me now?" Marcus shushed her "don't think that at all, his instincts just wanted us to leave. He's still very protective of her especially with the fact they haven't been fully bonded. Remember how worried we were of each other when we figured out our bond to one another?" she nodded, "it's just like that."
I noticed the two of them look relived, but I think Athenadora had more anxiety. "What about Rebecca? did bringing up her life make her hate us?" she said, immediately scenting me afterwards "no." Marcus said, "she doesn't hate you; I don't think she even hates Voldemort, she actually pity's him." He said the last part in disbelief what? "pity's? how can she pity someone so evil?"
Marcus looked at me "to figure out we would have to ask her." or did we? The way Aro acted even for a unbonded mating couple, that behavior wasn't entirely normal. "I wonder." "what?" Athenadora said "I wonder if Aro knows, the way he acted, it was more like he saw what happened though her eyes. I think we can ask Aro when he's calmed down enough at least."
