This is the answer to the "19,000 Prompts, 500 Words, One Week" Challenge.
Reasons
Charlus Potter had never considered himself to be a warrior.
But now his family lay in shambles, most of them dead and those that remained behind were traumatised children.
Charlus Potter might have been a Gryffindor in school but he had always chosen talking his way out of a situation over a violent approach.
But Grindewald had made it quite clear that he had no interest in talking, only in subjugation.
Charlus Potter had never wanted to involve himself in the war that was brewing in Europe.
But for all that the Potter family was considered a light family their origins lay elsewhere. Long behind them, but never forgotten. A shadow of it remained in their family motto to this day.
Concussus surgo.
When struck I rise. But Charlus would not only rise. He would strike back.
