The desperate parents ran downstairs to discover the front doors open, and in the new-found rain they could not hear the child walking into the forest nearby, they put Harry back in his crib and dashed in different directions, attempting to find their daughter, they put up missing posters, they contacted their fellow Order members to try and find her, but to no avail. Ashlyn was now in different territory, far different than they thought.
Ashlyn tottered through the twigs, stones, and wet leaves on the ground as the minimal rain piled onto her head, soaking into her small amount of hairs on her head, she had been walking for hours, getting even further into the forest. She felt a strange feeling arise in her chest, feeling like she was choking on tears, and her heart was beating quite loudly. She walked even more unstable now as she felt the strange symptoms of dread clump up into a large ball of fear in her body.
Ashlyn now could barely continue further, she felt too scared to continue, she fell to the grassy floor of the forest, getting cuts on her feet from the branches, and she started wailing, wanting her parents to come and save her. But sadly, in the open, .
A dark figure started to appear from the trees, stalking the poor child. It's hair frizzled in a strange way, her pace started to falter as she heard the cries of the girl, and she had a complex expression on her face, as if she was contemplating something important. The dark-robed figure sauntered over the child and looked down at the pathetic, and helpless creature. She gave a grimace for a second before picking it up, and apparated away to somewhere more safe...
After countless years, the searches over, they presumed the baby dead, there were coyotes and wolves in the forest nearby, so it was only natural to think she had died in those woods nearby. The parents were in a depressed state, but tried to forget it for their only son, Harry. So he could have a good life.
Now it was a normal day for Harry, he woke up at 7AM sharp, got dressed and showered in fifteen minutes or less and made his way to the kitchen to check up on the food his mom made, he saw that it was cooking well and started careening to the dining room to sit down at the table to read a good book before the food was served.
"The food is done!" Lily announced loudly, to try and get James to hear. Her head then turned to Harry, her hair flipping beautifully to match her new position. Her alluring emerald eyes narrowed as she asked,
"Harry, would you mind waking your dad up? He needs to eat breakfeast, he has a long day ahead of him." She sighed, and looked up at him with a hopeful smile.
"Sure ma." Harry set his bookmark carefully in his book before setting his book aside and racing upstairs to wake his father. This made Lily giggle, he always loved to wake up his father, it was very surprising for James but hilarious to Harry. She spelled the silverware, plates, and napkins to set themselves up at the table as she scrambled to put the pancake pile on the table along with the syrup, butter and whipped cream.
"Oh- Pancakes!" Harry joyously slid into his chair and waited for his family to gather at the table so they could begin breakfeast. James ambled behind Lily and hugged her from behind before planting kisses on top of her head and taking his seat at the table. The family then happily ate their food, before finishing James excitedly looked up and began,
"Now that you are finally turning eleven tomorrow, you will finally get your Hogwarts letter, hopefully. And just so you know, uncle Siri is coming to visit!" Once again, the boy's eyes lit up with wonder and anticipation,
"Uncle Padfoot is coming?!" Harry inquired, with his eyes enlarging and twinkling,
"Of course, he always comes. We will go to buy you a wand, and go to Hogsmeade," James confirmed, smiling at the kid's exuberance, "Now, continue eating your food, you will have time to ask about it later. I need to get a shower and head in to work quickly." The man got up and rushed upstairs to the master bathroom,
"Why is dad always busy?" Harry inquired with a hint of disappointment, and Lily looked up at her child and merely grinned,
"Dad is busy because he is an Auror, a very important job which requires you risking your life for the good of our wizard-kind, he works over-time due to some important cases popping up recently, now enjoy your food." Harry raised an eyebrow and asked,
"What does require mean?" Lily popped up sheepishly and answered,
"It means to need something to do a job, whether it be needing money to buy some apples or needing to have a.. er, special pass to do a job." Harry nodded simply and went back to eating his pancake stack, he wondered what cases were so important..
"Ashlyn, food." A loud voice shouted across the hallways, finally echoing into her training room. She set down the throwing blades and silently tip-toed down the hallways, heading towards the dining room towards the noise. Ashlyn was met with a cold piercing stare, as if it was going through their heart itself. She pulled herself together and took a seat at the very long table, being met with a handsome face of the Dark Lord himself.
"You are going on another mission today." I continued gazing upon the table, no chips were seen in the wood, not even a scratch,
"I just went on one earlier today, who could've possibly made you this mad." I held back from rolling my eyes and lacing my sentence with sarcasm, as it would only lead to unnecessary pain, but I couldn't hold back a longer pronounciation on possibly, the man ignored it.
"Kaden Infirmi, he was a spy for the Order of the Phoenix, he revealed many secrets. You must kill him, he is at the Dark Alleys. " I shakily dipped my head and took off, not caring about the spoon that flung out of my hands and towards the wall, I slid on my vest with all my weapons and apparated to the spots he was last seen.
"The plan is in action?" The young man nervously glanced around the shadowed areas, she could be hiding anywhere.
"Y-yes sir, it is, please keep lookout for her." The man shoved the radio into his back-pockets, he had to focus on living at the moment as he was bait for the plan, the plan being to capture the assassin who's been killing off death-eaters. Even though that helped their case, it was still cruel murder. Suddenly he felt the wind stop and the air froze with fear. The sun that had once been shining annoyingly had gone away, his last comfort being plunged into the trash leaving him with only darkness left.
"You thought you would escape would you?" He thought he heard a voice, he spun around his surroundings trying to find the original source of that sound, but he stopped as he knew it was in his head... or did he?
"You dumb idiot." He had no time to react, as a sharp blade had already plunged skillfully into his chest reigon, ending his life quickly as his heart was punctured. A skinny figure jumped down from the rooftop onto the now-dead body Kaden to break the noise of the fall. She had dark ginger hair, to the point of murky brown and hazel eyes that you could get lost in, combined with her breath-taking freckles she was gorgeous, but her mental health was not. She had been forced to kill and shed blood upon those who dared to even question the power Voldemort held, she never did it willingly but she had to if she wanted to overtake the intelligent villian of the dark, and if she wanted to keep her life.
She bit her tongue to prevent screaming out, crying or saying sorry, her eyes were devoid of emotion now as she searched for an ID-card in his back-pocket from the Ministry to complete her escape plan, when suddenly a booming noise was heard from the parkling lots near her,
"Stay still and we won't harm you!" Five aurors made their way from out of the shadows and parking lot nearby, the emotionless girl pulled out a throwing knife and jerkily threw it somewhere to her left, hitting somebody as told by the scream. She quickly blocked the incoming spells of the fiery battle with a strong shield whilst throwing her knives and stunning spells towards the well-trained attackers, she never wanted to kill more people than she had to, it'd just be more impact on her morality, when suddenly she felt a stinging pain in her side. Gosh darn it, she felt a bloody knife get lodged inside her inner flesh. She held back a wince or grimace, and her own blades used against her... she continued attacking these aurors blindly with sharp pains coming in from her waist, until she heard a voice yelling out from above her.
"Cease your spells and we will spare you-" Ashlyn's throat constricted as she finally felt fear, she didn't show it but she knew was surrounded by top-tier aurors.
"I can spare myself, thank you very much." She barked sassily and fired off powerful stunning spells at the wizards ontop of the roof, aswell as the ones surrounding her, but as she gazed towards her right she saw a sight that made her freeze.
A man with familiar hazel eyes and spectacles, and recognizable messy raven-black hair. It had to be him, it had to be her father.. She unfroze as her shields broke, dazedly she stabbed an auror in the bladder with a knife, if she turned herself in now it would be very bad-
"They're here, most likely to protect.." The auror who was talking was shot in the gut by a cutting curse, making him bleed all over the place. Most of the aurors were taken aback for a second as countless death-eaters poured in, this was her last chance, she would be in even more pain and suffering if she stayed with.. them. A stinging pain from her side reminded her to be careful as she muttered a spell to get rid of the death-eaters who were supposedly on her side.
