[Main Pairing/Character: Benjy Fenwick and Amelia Bones]
Her Fallen Soldier
"Auntie, why didn't you marry?" Susan Bones asked her aunt and mother figure, Amelia Bones.
She watched as a reminiscent, sad smile spread on her aunt's face.
"You loved someone." Susan guessed.
"Yes." Amelia smiled and nodded.
"What happened then?" Susan asked.
"He died..." Amelia said and her thoughts traveled miles away in the past.
It had always awed him to see people being afraid of a name. And the owner of that name intrigued him to no end. Voldemort's reign started well before his time. It was subtle in his youth and as he grew older the terror of Voldemort became more blatant. He had his quirks, which had made her fall for him slowly and gradually. He loved the subject Potions and had helped her once in homework, it was since then that they formed a friendship. She never realized when friendship turned into love.
His smiles and laughter flashed through her brain and her body went numb.
It had been a particularly gloomy day, she got this strange feeling, telling her something was wrong. She had been working day and night in the Department of Law Enforcement trying to hold the falling pieces of the Ministry when Mad-eye came to her desk with a glum face.
"Who?" Amelia had asked, knowing the expression all too well.
"Benjy." Mad-eye replied.
Amelia fell back to her chair as tears streamed down her face.
