saving siblings: Autumn

[Percy Ignatius Weasley, Jr.]

Who would ever consider raising their kids in muggle London? It was decrepit. Percy Jr. made a face as he walked down the street, trying to figure out where his mother’s new place was. Last year, before the war, they had lived in the wizarding world. After Percy killed his dad because his dad killed the dark lord, his mother took his siblings and moved. He hated that he hadn’t been able to take them with him when he moved out. His mother wouldn’t let him, plus he wouldn’t have been able to take care of them. Percy and Annie had to work at the Hogs Head because they weren’t old enough for other jobs. For awhile, they were living in a little apartment above the bar. He was glad that Annie’s family seemed to have disappeared, so they got the cash. Now Lucy and Autumn and her twin can live with them.

Because Percy was only eighteen, it was easy to keep his little secret. Nobody would suspect that someone so young was the dark lord. The other one, Rancer, had been killed by his dad at the beginning. Nobody knew that. He got rid of his body and then murdered his dad. Annie had only just found out, too, after he found out that he was going to be a father. Percy was older than the average seventh year because his birthday was in November, which meant that he had to wait an additional year before attending Hogwarts. He turned twelve in his first year and had been eighteen when he graduated, not seventeen. Soon, he would force Titus to step down and give Percy the post or he would be killed. He was just keeping a low profile at the moment, letting his followers do the dirty work. It was pretty funny since his followers thought they were following Rancer, not some kid that just graduated from school. He wondered how many of them would be mad when they found out, which might be fairly soon.

Dammit, where is that house? He was getting tired of this. He pushed his hair out of his eyes and put on the hat that he had grown fond of. There was too much sun out. He hated sunny days. Percy preferred the dark and cold days, winter days. Finally he found the house. It was locked, naturally. Autumn was kept downstairs, the last thing his mother would want was Percy walking in anytime he felt like it and take her out. She must not have realized that he was old enough to use magic anytime he felt like it. He took out his wand and opened the door, sticking his head through and seeing his mother in the living room. “It’s Perccyyyyyy!” he said, pushing the door open and walking in. “So, worthless piece of trash, where is my sister?” Percy already knew. He just wanted to see if his mother would tell him. Her response: what sister?

He tied her up and headed to the basement. “Do you want to see Dad?” he threatened as he unlocked the basement door. “If so, follow me and start trouble. If not, I suggest you sit there and remain quiet. I’m taking my siblings out of here.” Percy started down the steps. “Autumn?” he called.

Molly was in a deep sleep after not being able to sleep for three weeks her body just gave out on her, she really had to thank Lucy after all this was over if it wasn’t for her little sister she would be hungry and tired. When their mother was at work Lucy would sneak food to Molly though the basement window. Molly was so out of it basements were just not her thing and she thought when her father was found dead that this was all over boy was she wrong. She really had to give her mother credit she didn’t think the woman being a muggle and all would be able to beat her in a fight but she did and she was put back in this hell hole of a world.

Molly was broken the second she realized the door was locked, basements always did this to her and now all of her siblings hard work was out the window and she was a back to feeling like a broken little girl praying for a miracle to happen but every new day one never came. Percy Jr. had forgotten about them with his new life and that’s what her mother wanted because then she could keep Molly out of her last year at Hogwarts. Where was Percy the one that promised her this would never happen again? Why did he leave them? Molly was old enough to get a job and help them; why was her big brother not here?

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she woke up and pulled herself up using the wall for support she was extremely weak and had been giving up she had been cutting her arms up with a butter knife, it was so painful but anything was better than the feelings and emotions that she was going though down here. ”It’s Perccyyyyy!” Taking small breaths she closed her eyes as she tried to rest again as he mind was playing tricks on her again; she could have swore that she just heard her brother but was it real? She heard him so many times before but no one was there. Was it really him this time? Her eyes suddenly opened as she weakly looked around and sighed as she saw no one.

”Autumn?” there it was again. Blinking she tried to move but the pain from the self torture of cutting herself hurt so bad that she could not lift her arms to lift her body up. Swallowing some she took a breath to clear her throat “Per…cy…?” she struggled to say from the dark corner of the left side of the basement. “Bro…ther….?” She questioned. “Is…that….really…you?” she begged weakly as tears rolled down her face, was she really going to get saved and be taken out of here? Was she really going to be able to go back to school.

Percy struggled to see in the dark. Did that stupid mudblood have to keep it this dark? Maybe she hadn’t wanted Autumn to see anything. He took out his wand and muttered lumos to light it. It wasn’t much help, but at least it did something. He heard his sister trying to talk and he followed the voice. “Yes, it’s really me. I’m sorry. I really didn’t want this to happen.” And it was his fault. Even if he couldn’t afford to take care of them, he should’ve still took them with him. They would’ve been at school most of the time anyways. “It’s over now. You’re all coming to live with me and Annie.” He was going to let the woman live, but now he wouldn’t. “That woman’s dead. What did she do to you?” He untied her and picked her up.

He struggled back to the stairs, trying to figure out where everything was. He didn’t want to hit in to something and end up hurting her more. She was in need of desperate medical attention, but taking her to St. Mungo’s was out of the question right now. Percy would try to patch her up at his place and if he couldn’t, he’d take her there. It would be a last resort though. He didn’t want to have to explain to them right happened. He finally made it upstairs with her. The mother was still on the couch where he’d left her. “Did you think I meant what I said?” he asked coldly. “Did you think I would let you live? Not after all the pain you caused us.” Percy raised his wand and she shrank back in fear. “Avada Kedavra!”

He watched her go still and he walked outside with Autumn, setting her down a safe distance from the house. Few things he had to do before they left. Percy went back into the house and started a fire. Soon, the whole house would be destroyed and the body. And none of it could be linked back to him. He would’ve loved to stay in the house and see the blaze, but Molly and the fire would end up drawing attention soon. Flames licked his arm, but he ignored it. Sure pain was there, but Percy could handle pain. He returned to his sister and lightly touched her arm and apparated with her back to his house.

Autumn moaned in pain as Percy picked her up it had been days since she had to strength to move so to sudden movement not only hurt but scared her as her body started to shake in his arms she started to cry. Molly Autumn Weasley never cried it was just a sign that this once strong and evil girl was lost, hurt and scared no not scared worse she was terrified. Talking was really hard for her every time she tried she started to cough uncontrollable. This was just too much she felt as if she was going insane. What was she going to do or say to Percy could she really relive her summer, shaking her head she curled up in his arms as he carried up the stairs.

The light from the kitchen hurt her eyes and the light coming in from the windows made it worse, Autumn had been down there in the dark so long that she felt as if she was burning trying to move her hand to cover her face but didn’t have the strength and it dropped hitting Percy weakly as she struggled to close her eyes. She heard what he said and she heard the killing curse a minute later. Music to Molly’s ears to her that was letting her know that this could not happen again no one was left alive that would do something so wrong to her.

Still shaking as he set her down across the street from that hell hole of a house she continued to have her eyes closed as the sun still hurt her eyes. Would she ever be able to open them again, jumping when she felt a hand on her shoulder she was about to scream but felt herself being moved it must have been Percy and he must have done a side along apparition with her. Molly wanted to look around but was too scared to open her eyes some parts of her still believe that she was dreaming. Molly’s throat was dry and her voice sounded as if it cracked “Percy…..?“ she asked still holding her eyes tightly closed.
