Ravenclaw Against Gryffindor!

Chapter seven: Dealing with the soulless body.

My mother-in-law is crying. My father-in-law puts his arms around her to comfort him. Penelope is crying too. She's crying her eyes out in the strong arms of Charlie. Fleur turns to Bill; Ginny looks for comfort in Fred and George. And I, I have my husband. But I think it's more that my husband has me. He's the one in tears. No matter how much he said he hated his brother, he loved him.

Suddenly a green bolt of lightening shot around Percy's execution chamber. There were some of his fellow Death Eaters, coming to destroy his body. Well. At least Percy got what he deserved. I'm not sure of Penelope though, but she never loved him as much as I have done, she's already flinging herself in the arms of another. I was forced to marry my husband, my late lover's brother. I still loved Percy, but it was best to let him go... justice had been done and my heart would forever mourn its loss. I was a bittersweet memory, though. The real shock would come later... when the truth would have fully hit me.

The Death Eaters disappeared as soon as they had appeared.

I was a mother of two, and married to a man I didn't love, who didn't love me. I knew my husband had a mistress. I wouldn't keep him from Hermione. The twins were consuming all my time.

I appreciate my mother and my mother-in-law more every minute. Both had to raise identical twins. I never would have guessed that I myself would become a mother of twins, even though they aren't identical. I always thought that would be Parvati would get twins, not me... I was the one with the brains! She had the beauty, but she is no more. The father of my children killed her in cold blood.

I keep missing her, but I honour her memory every day, my little girl even carries her name! Am I going to miss Percy in the same way? He is and will always be the father of my children. How am I to explain to my children that the man that they will know is their father actually is their uncle; that their father killed their aunt and got kissed by a Dementor because of it! How am I going to tell those two that their father was basically a good man that made some wrong decisions?

No one knows why Percy turned into the Death Eater that he was and Percy had taken that secret with him to the grave. No one knows for real why he killed my sister. We can only guess. But I can't dwell too long. Paul is already crying and I'm sure Parvati will start in a moment... I had to bring them. It would be the first and only chance for all three of them: the only chance for Percy to see his offspring; the only time the twins would be able to see their father alive!
