''I wonder if Ceres will find my wand pretty'' Minthe said happy as she waved her wand around like she was already casting spells. ''Now, now Minthe, calm down. You cannot show you wand nor your magic to muggles, wait with waving your wand until you actually can perform a spell properly'' The man, clearly her father said as he laid his hand on the shoulder of Minthe. John was so very proud that his second daughter had gotten her inventation to become a student of Hogwards. Minthe was excited as well, would she be placed in Ravenclaw just like her sister. ‘’Leviosá, leviossaaa’’ Minthe said already practicing a spell all first years learned. Ofcourse she pronounced it the wrong way so no magic was used, nor seen. With a smile and her arms full of bags she insisted to carry herself Minthe opened the front gate to their home. The smile dissapeared from her face as she looked at the front door.
‘’Mother, father, did we not close the front door when we left?’’ She asked as her father pushed his daughter to the side and walked infront of them. His hand slipped into his jacket and dipped his wand out of one of the pockets. ‘’Maybe Ceres is home’’ Demi mentioned as she looked up to her daughters room. With a gasp she rushed to the side of her husband and tugged his sleeve. ‘’The window, look the window’’ She said an pointed to the shattered glass that was once the window of Ceres room. ‘’Stay back’’ He said and rushed inside his own house. It felt eery and dangerous in there, like dark magic had coursed through his family home.
‘’Ceres!’’ He shouted, but only silence awnsered his desperate call. He switched on the light, that still worked and looked around the living room. There was a huge mess infront of the fire place and floo power lay all over the ground. The moment John stepped towards the floo powder a pain struck his head as he fell to the ground. Dark magic, very dark and tainted magic had been used here.
Quickly John grabbed his pocked watch and opened it. He turned the arms of the clock to 2 O’clock and waited until he got someone of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement on the line. He hoped that one of his colleague’s was still awake.
‘’John, wazzap bruh. How can I help you tonigth’’ A cheery voice said. John sighed, of all the people to put on the night shift they choose this perticular person. ‘’Gullen, can you inform the Auror office that we have a case of dark magic being used at my own home, Rosehill 42, London. And file in a missing wizzard report. My daughter has been kidnapped or worse’’ John said hasted. He had hear rumours of this new organization, still nameless. They seemed to treath in the foodsteps of the death eaters, and if that was true.
‘’who, who, calm down man. Who of the two are missing, and dark magic? Are you sure?’’ Gullen said his tone of voice becoming a bit more serious.
‘’Ceres, and yes I am serious’’ John’s voice grew impacient. What if Ceres had been killed by that new group.
‘’Father, is Ceres in danger?’’ Minthe said while putting down her bags and looking around the room. The mess clearly shocked the eleven year old girl. ‘’Dear?’’ Demi asked, unsure of the situation. Just when John wanted to console his family Gullen called back through the pocked watch.
‘’Jo, I have informed the auror office. But listen tot his, according to Milsa, the nurse from the hospital wing of the Ministry a girl appeared from the floo network and was hit by a Crusio curse. She is right now in the care of the auror office. Doens’t your ceres have long brown hair and blue eye’s?’’ Gulled said and a ray of hope hit the desperate father. ‘’Roger, I will come over. If my daughter is there than I have to see that for my self and ask her what happened’’ John ended the conversation and closed the watch as he walked to the fireplace.’’ Lets go to the Ministry, there is a possebilety that Ceres is there’’ John grabbed some floo powder and trew it in the fire, before jumping through the thing, followed by Demi and Minthe. As fast as he could John ran towards the hospital wing.
Their path was obstructed by two aurors who stood guard infront of the wing.
‘’let us through, my daughter might be in there’’ His mouth spoke hasted as he tried to walk past the guards. He was stopped however in his tracks.
‘’No one is allowed inside without the appovel of mister Potter’’
Ceres stopped resisting the moment she recognized the voice that spoke to her. Silently she looked at the man as he carried her towards the bed she had just now tried to flee O so desperate. The man of last night made the turmoil in her head calm down for a bit as she clinged to his jacket. Leaning on her arms, Ceres sat up straight in the bed and looked at the man.
‘’I do not know’’ She said her voice trembling from the overuse of her damaged muscles. ‘’One moment I was sitting in my room and the next moment a curs was trown at me. My window was destroyed and several people wearing black cloaks entered my room’’ She said looking intot the eye’s of the man. The icy pale hand that had casted the crusio curs returned as a unwanted and painfull memorie that someone, no mutlible indiiduals had tried to kill her. Slowly she let her hand go over the cursed mark, trying to hide it from vieuw. ‘’I tried to fight but there were so many of them, I could only escape’’ Ceres explained more, trying to squeeze out every bit of information she could give the aurorer. She diggled her fingers into the matrass and felt the sheets between her fingers. She wanted Levi, she wanted him to hug her right no wand tell her that everything would be alright. It was but a far off dream for the heartbroken young witch. Wiping away her silent tears Ceres looked at the man once again, she had to admit that she found him quite handsome and had no idea why a man like him was at the auror office.
‘’Thank you’’ She said, trying to set her feet ont he ground. The attempt was futile but at least she had tried. ‘’You lifted the curse from my body, My name is Ceres. Ceres Solar, maybe you have heard of John Solar, he works at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement’’ She said with a faint smile before her eye’s widened.
‘’My family, maybe they also went after my family’’ Ceres panicked.
