Welcome to my new reader and welcome back to Tori. I'm glad you guys posted. Let me now what you think about this next one.


Chapter 4

"Ron, we're under attack!"
"You think?" he said ironically and he glanced out. "I can't see them!" he added while curses flew all over the place.
"Ron, they're aiming to kill!" Hermione said while a killing curse hit the opposite wall.
"Mum? What's happening?" said Rose entering the kitchen.
"Rosie, watch out!" Hermione screamed just as a curse flew right above her daughter's head. Ron reached out and grabbed his daughter pulling her behind the closest wall.
"Hermione there's a whole bunch!" Ron said now being able to spot about six to seven masked men outside their house.
"Death Eaters?"
"Yeah", he replied sending a curse at them but missed. He turned to his horrified daughter. "Rosie go and get your brother. We need to leave!"
As Rose obeyed her father and run to her brother's room, a curse blew Hermione's whole breakfast in the air, sending milk and orange juice everywhere.
"My breakfast!" Hermione squealed and then jumped out, wand in hand. "Okay that's it! Now I'm really mad!"

"And they just attacked your house?" Ginny asked her brother again.
"Yeah Ginny, I already told ya!" Ron said as he held his daughter in his hug.
They had managed to apparate to the Potters about a couple of hours ago. Hermione and Harry had left almost immediately for the office and Ron with Ginny stayed home to explain what happened to their mesmerized and frightened children.
"What did they want?" Lily asked giving Hugo a cup of tea.
Ron and Ginny looked at each other.
"Yeah who were they?" James asked looking at his uncle but it was Rose who answered him.
"Mum said they were Death Eaters".
"Death Eaters?" Albus repeated as his brother looked from his uncle to his mother in disbelief.
"Yeah", Ginny said hesitantly. "Apparently they've formed a new group under some crazy guy called...what was it again Ron?"
"Apostollo", Ron replied.
"Who?" James asked but Albus interrupted.
"So we are in danger?"
Ron echanged another look with his sister and then he replied.
"Yes I guess we are".
"Does that mean we are not going on holiday?" Lily asked and Ron rolled his eyes.
"Ha! I told you so!" Hugo said sounding just like his mother.
"No, Lil, sorry but I guess we're not", her mother replied.
James took a relieved look that no one but Albus noticed. As the boy looked at his brother confused two loud pops came from the kitchen, the only place in the house someone could apparate in. When Harry entered the room with Hermione he glanced at the kids.
"So you told them", he guessed from their faces.
As they walked in the living room Ron noticed his wife's red eyes. She had been crying.
"Hermione? What happened?" he asked as Ginny too stared at her and then at Harry. Hermione shook her head and sat next to Ron, placing her head in her hands.
"Mum, are you okay?" Rose asked.
"They burned it!" she whispered.
"What?" Hugo asked confused.
Harry sat on the arm of Ginny's chair and confirmed the terrible suspicion that had crossed her mind with a look.
"Hermione what are you talking about?" Ron asked, fear building inside him, but she had burst in tears again. Ron turned to his best friend and the sadness in his eyes got him really scared.
"Your house..." Harry whispered, Ron's eyes widened and Lily took Hugo's trembling hand into hers. "We went back with reinforcement but...they weren't there and...and the Dark mark was everywhere and it was...burned...along with most of your belongings".
Before Ron could comprehend what he had just been told another loud pop came from the kitchen and Harry run in just in time to see his godson, Ted Lupin, collapsing on the floor.
