Chapter 5: Alice Longbottom
Neville was in the living room with his mom, Alice Longbottom. Frank Longbottom was at work in the Ministry, and he wouldn't be home for another hour, at least. She heard about what had happened to poor Harry and Remus. She already missed Remus. He had been a good friend. It had been a shock to find out he was a werewolf, but he was still the same old Remus. She sighed. A timer went off in the kitchen, and she put Neville in his play pen.
She didn't notice the death eater in the kitchen, and it was too late for her to be saved. She was hit with the killing curse. Her last thought was of Neville. Then the death eater entered the living room, and Neville started crying. The death eater sneered at him.
The front door opened, and the death eater cursed. He apparated away just in time. "Hey, Neville, where's Mommy?" Frank asked. Neville babbled on with tears streaming down his face. "What's wrong, little buddy?" Frank asked, and he picked him up. "Alice?" Frank received no answer. He saw a light in the kitchen, and he slowly crept towards the entryway. He let out a cry. Alice was dead!
