The plan (Draco and Lux Drabble #28)


“My lord, there is a family in Romania”, Rudolphus said, “There is a little girl. She is very young, 4. Her powers are already manifesting themselves”. “4 is too young”, Tom said. “She will be very powerful”, Rabastan said. “I cannot and will not, care for a 4 year old”, Tom said. “If I may suggest, what about removing the family from the picture permanently?” Lucius asked, “The family is very wealthy. Wealthier than all of us combined”. “Are they pure-bloods?” Tom asked. “Yes, but they do not wish to join you”, Bellatrix said. “Then they are blood traitors and must die”, Tom said, “Kill them, but spare the child”.
            In the dead of the night, 4 hooded figures arrived at the Shire’s house. They set the house on fire. Alexz awoke with a start and saw a silver cat. Something told her to follow it. She followed it, oblivious to the fact that the house was on fire. When she reached the lawn, the cat disappeared. Alexz turned around and saw the house engulfed in flames. She knew better than to run back in. The lawn was soon filled with people. “It’s the Dark Mark”, someone said. A man with scars down his face picked her up. “It’s alright, love”, he said. Alexz knew everything was about to change.
