Master auror Darren Billingsgate walked through the shopping mall with his wife Desiree and his young son Graham. Desiree was currently posted at the American consulate in Ramstein Germany. Darren and Graham would portkey over on the weekends to spend time with her.

Desiree was twenty four and on her final year of her potions apprenticeship with George Edison, the master potioneer for MACUSAs foreign offices, having had to delay her schooling when she fell pregnant with Graham. Darren was thirty years old, an instructor at the North American auror academy and a proud father of five year old Graham.

As the family readied to ascend the escalator, A child's terrified scream echoed around the mall. Looking around, Darren tried to find the source of the screams.

At the top of the escalator, a tiny black haired boy of no more than three, screamed for help. Graham the ever helpful boy ran forward to try and help the smaller boy, who's oversized pantleg had gotten caught in the tread of the escalator and was slowly pulling him in. Graham grabbed the boys pantleg with both hands and tugged as hard as he could.

"Daddy! Come help!" Graham called with panic in his voice.

As Darren began up the steps a large, obese man with a mustache, purple with rage swung a heavy kick at the young boy causing him, with the sound of tearing cloth to fly back ten feet before hurtling down the escalator with his beloved son still holding onto the boy.

As the boys began to fall a neon purple shield sprung up around Graham who bounced gently down the escalator, while the younger boy crashed hard and rolled down with the sound of breaking bones.

Desiree ran towards the tiny boy laying awkwardly in a rapidly expanding pool of blood. She was only steps from him when a oily black smokey substance poured off the boys head, formed into the face of a red eyed monster before dissipating with a piercing scream, that bathed the area with a sickly dark magic.

Darren upon seeing what he recognized as a wraith escape the boy, fired of two spells in rapid succession. The first was a crime scene lasso, a basic ward to keep all witnesses in the general area and a standard auror emergency spell requesting immediate assistance from the German ministry. Then seeing his boy upset but obviously unharmed in the rapidly fading purple bubble, he gave chase to the fat fuck that nearly killed his son. By the time Darren reached the top of the escalator the man had a thirty yard lead. Darren ran forward firing an overpowered stunner and an incarcerous at the man's back. In slow motion Darren watched as the man fell, tied with ropes, and slid six feet before crashing through a window and falling three stories to his death.

Behind him Darren heard the cracks of apparition behind him of the German ministry's response team and turned to brief them on what had occurred. As he got to the top of the escalator he saw his wife doing chest compressions on the little boy while calling for a healer. Moments later she, along with an auror and the boy portkeyed away.
