At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing! Okay, review lovelies! I loves you.
Me no own HP and me love you.
Two hours earlier
The little shop just between Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn alley sat still. It was known for selling old books in Latin and strange herbs for ancient potions. The business did well but it wasn't able to compete with the shops in Diagon Alley.
A tall blonde witch stood behind the counter waiting for the next customer to walk in. When that happened she didn't expect a scowling teen to stomp in.
"I'm looking for Erin Bulk." The visitor wore a brown cloak that covered the top half of her face. Erin walked out of the back and smiled. Whizzy walked out behind her and frowned in confusion.
"Jayce, I've been expecting you." Jayce pulled her hood off and nodded. "This way please." Erin held the beads in the doorway open so she could walk through. Whizzy glanced at Mrs. Bulk then followed them through with a shrug.
Jayce stood facing what would be a giant mistake. The room had red and black candles sitting everywhere, a pentagram drawn in blood on the floor, and on a pedestal sat an open leather book. The walls were made of wooden paneling painted black with red trim.
"What can I do for you?" Erin walked in and sat in the middle of the floor. Whizzy sat next to her holding a vial of liquid in her hand.
"I want revenge on..." Erin held up a hand for she had known that this day would come. She gestured to the floor and whispered, "Trust me, revenge is in my blood. Whizzy, grab that book for me. Now Jayce," she stood up and grabbed a five candles off the dresser in the far corner and placed them on the tips of the star in the middle.
"Now, this is very old magic. Magic that doesn't require wands or silly spells." Erin grabbed a vial of red liquid off the counter.
"They don't teach you this kind of stuff at Hogwarts. Too dangerous and old." Whizzy laughed, pouring her liquid around the circle
while Erin poured in the middle of the circle.
Jayce just stood there in silence, not wanting to ruin whatever they were doing. Once the girls were done they each grab a hand of hers and pulled her to the inner circle. Whizzy handed Erin the book and opened it to a black page with white writing.
"Spiritus meus ad vindictam inimicorum magni daemonum auxilio vindictae disperdet. Auxilium nobis ferre ab ultionem ex Jessica Vance." Erin was speaking in Latin and it was freaking Jayce out. The only words she understood was spirit and Jessica Vance. "It's done. Now we just have to wait for the spirits to do their jobs." Jayce pulled her hands to her chest and nodded.
Three days later
The sky was dark for the next few days. It was like the words just wanted to let go but was holding back. Children were playing outside and telling the sky to let go of the rain. Katie and Jess sat outside her new home drinking pop.
"It needs to rain." Jess took a sip of her drink then laid back on the warm grass. It only rained the day after school was over and the weather was starting to heat up.
Katie sat cross legged on the stone pathway leading up to the door. She was trying to finish her essay for potions.
"You should be finishing this Jess! It's due the first morning back!" Jess glanced at her and smiled. She had finished it the day before the move. All of her work was done and just waiting to be turned in.
"You girls look like yours dying of heat stroke." A boy a bit older than them sat down next to Jess. He had copper hair and brilliant purple eyes.
"Hey Chris. We are dying, be a doll and grab us a drink would you?" Jess held up her empty can and shook it like a bell. He grabbed the can, smashed it on his knee, and chucked it at the bins in front of the house. Katie looked at the two and smiled. They were just like siblings separated at birth.
"So, my dad wants to know if you will be at the wedding. Of course you will be because you love me!"
"Are you talking to me or Katie?" Katie looked from Jess to Chris to Abigail walking out of the house.
"Jess someone's on the phone for you!" She held the door open for Jess, smiled at Katie, then walked in after her step-sister.
Chris stretched his arms over his head then laid down. The clouds started to shift but they did not let even a sliver of light through. "So are you?" Katie looked at him and blinked. Had he been talking to her?
"What was that?"
"Are you and Weasley still dating? I would think so but... You never know. Besides I need a date to the wedding and Jess just became my step-sister to be so..." Katie blinked a few more times then laughed. Chris sat with a serious expression on his face, there was nothing funny about asking someone on a date.
"Oh Merlin you're serious! Yeah, George and I are still dating." She blushed at her rudeness.
"It's fine, I'm glad you're happy with him. Maybe I'll ask Cho."
"That slut is dating Cedric! He's fucking cheating on me Katie!" Sierra walked across the grass and fell on top of Chris. He looked at Katie then at Sierra with a gleam in his eyes. "Sierra, will you go to the wedding with me? A girl as pretty as you would make a man as sexy as me very happy."
Sierra leaned up and him and smiled. Katie saw what he was doing, she saw through his bullshit lies!
"JACOB!" The front door sailed open and Jess's little brother flew out the door into the street. Abigail ran out after him with a knife in her hands. Her hair was the colour rat fur and shorter than it had been a few minutes ago. Jess walked out laughing like a hyena.
"Run Jacob! Don't look back little man! She's gonna get you!" Chris joined Jess in the laughter before the knife came sailing through the air and next to his arm.
"Children! Stop fighting or I'll sick Severus on you!" Chris had already stood up and kept yelling at Abigail. Bruce and Severus walked out of the house with empty boxes under their arms.
"I'll take him!" He Chris shouted, beating on his chest. Severus sneered as he brushed past Jess. Chris sat back on the ground with a huff and pulled Sierra into his lap.
Sierra snuggled into Chris's chest, his body shaking from the laughter. She was mad at the cheating piece of shite Cedric and Chris was exactly what she needed to forget him.
Katie knew that Chris wasn't the best person to have for emotional support. He could be a big pervert and only wanted sex. Maybe that's why Cho was in love with him before Cedric showed her his emotions.
The air grew thick as night fell over London. Glowing red eyes illuminated in the opening of Knockturn alley. The smell of rotting flesh churned in the noses of the homeless sitting against the walls in the dark. A delicate hand reached out toward a small child with wide eyes and stroked his hollowed cheek gently. Wings sprouted from the dark creature, the breeze stopped and the world went cold.
The child touched the black wings to search for the warmth of the man. His stomach growled loudly, stopping the pain in his lower abdomen. The man leaned down and pecked the small boy on the lips then smiled sadly. The little boy leaned against the wall and slide to the ground with a blank stare in his eyes.
No one saw the man with the wings, they had not seen the kiss or felt the breeze stop in the alley. They only saw the little boy stop moving, breathing, living.
"What are you?" Erin Bulk asked as he followed her down the street to her mother's shop.
"I am death, I am chaos, I am revenge, and I am mercy." He responded. She nodded and left the boy to his freedom from the hateful world.
I love writing sad, unneeded, deaths. Always!
