Runaway

20 Years Later

The Daily Prophet arrives this morning at it's normal time. Ted goes to the door to grab it, and walks back in. He flips to his favorite section on quidditch, and I continue to eat my cereal. I go to grab my milk, and I look at the front of the paper.

"Ted look!" I shout as I see who is on the front. He turns the paper around, and stares wide eyed. He immediately gets up and goes to the front door.

"What are you doing?" I ask getting up and following him.

"Locking the doors."

"Ted she'll be able to break down the doors." Still he locks the front door, and then turns to me.

"Where is Dora?"

"She's with the Order doing something." A loud knock comes on the door, causing me to nearly jump out of my skin. Ted goes to the door, and lets out a sigh. He opens the door letting in Dora, and someone I haven't seen in years.

"Sirius?" I ask as I see him. He draws his wand, and points it at me.

"Jesus Andy I thought you were." I give him a dirty look.

"So you've seen the paper."

"Yes" he says. Nymphadora now speaks.

"Wait how'd you think mum would be?"

"Bellatrix" Sirius says gravely. Nymphadora gives me a funny look now.

"They look nothing alike." she says accusing Sirius.

"Hold on." I say, and I run into mine and Ted's bedroom. I open my top dresser drawer, and grab a photograph. It's the same photograph I grabbed from my room when I attempted to save Nymphadora from Bellatrix years ago. I rush back out into the room, and thrust the photograph at Nymphadora.

"Wow" she says "I can't believe that's her." She looks up at me "and you."

"I know we used to be best friends."

"And then she went looney." Sirius says finishing my sentence.

"Sirius, Bella wasn't always like that she just took the wrong path." Sirius scowls.

"Just think what she's like now after spending 15 years in that hell hole she'll be all fucked up now." I give Sirius a dirty look.

"You haven't changed at all Sirius, you still have the potty mouth I hated."

"Well" he says giving me his charming smile "there's only so much a man can do." I laugh, but there is another loud knock on the door. Sirius moves over to the door, and looks outside.

"Just a tree branch." he says and walks back towards us. Ted walks over to me, and puts his arms around me protectively.

"Don't worry I won't let her put a hand on you." His words are comforting, but I can't help but feel scared. Bellatrix succeded in getting Nymphadora once, and we had almost lost her. One thing was for sure I would use all the power I had to ensure she never touched my family again.

A short ending I know, but I had to end somewhere. Please tell me what you thought of this fanfic. It's my first completed multi-chapter fic so I really want some feedback. Thank you all for following this fic. :D
