Mary's POV
St. Mungo's – October 31, 1981
Mary McDonald was working late on Halloween night. The patients needed tended to and the hospital needed to be cleaned. Mary worked as a healer at St. Mungo's Hospital and little did she know that she was going to get a late night call out that night. She was putting together potions for one of her patients when the call came. It was about two in the morning and the caller told her that someone was needed at Godric's Hollow. She took the call herself and she had no idea what to expect. When Mary apparated to the Hollow she came upon a scene. A group of Aurors were escorting someone away from a house. She passed the prisoner on her way to the house and she wanted to break down right there. It was Sirius. The same Sirius she was friends with, that she had a crush on just a few years ago. She couldn't stop herself – she pushed through the Aurors and clung to Sirius's shirt.
"Ma'am please back up. This man just killed someone and helped with two other murders." One of the Aurors said as he tried to drag her away.
"No! " Mary screams and looks at Sirius. "You didn't kill anyone did you?" She was on the verge of tears.
"Mary. I-"
"Who Black?"
"Peter, but he-"
"You killed one of your best friends. Do James and Lily know?"
"Mary…"
Her mouth dropped open as the stares at the house behind him. "Lils…" She pushed past him and hurried toward the house.
"Mary, wait!" Sirius yells after her as the Aurors start to drag him off the crime scene. She didn't want to hear it. Her best friend might be dead. She shows the officer her Healer badge and he lets her into the house. She looks around the ground floor. The bodies were still upstairs. As a healer she has learned not to let any scene get to her. She leans that the couple were murdered by the killing curse and their one year old kid survived. Lily and James had a year old. She shakes her head to get any thought of the Potters out of it as she starts up the stairs. The husband was killed at the top of the stairs, the wife in the nursery. Her heart feels like it was going to shatter as she walks into the nursery where they had the bodies. She drew back one of the covers and dropped to the floor. It was Lily. She was too shocked to cry. Sirius was a death eater. He killed Peter and gave Lily and James to You-Know-Who. Lily and James were dead.
They were really dead. Mary was taking a shower at ten in the morning. She didn't get any sleep after she was escorted home earlier. She hadn't been able to get her best friends face out of her head. She sat down, let the water runs over her head, and cried.
