It had been 3 weeks.

3 weeks and Tom was living of off scraps of Auroras attention. 

Millisecond glares across the hall as she wisped past like a ghost. Pale, hollow, haunting. The only colour was her eyes. Piercing and stark against the whiteness of her skin.

She refused to let him near her, and instead of him helping her around like he was supposed to. He watched Regulus do it.

Regulus always avoided his enraged stares when he past by opting to stare at his feet sheepishly.

Tom concluded he felt guilty, gulity for taking his rightful place. It was his baby, she was his wife yet they where barely ever in the same room.

They had a total of 6 interactions.

3 where 2 minute petty arguements.

2 snarky comments.

And wednesday.

It started out to be a like every other day for the past few weeks. Silent.

The only sound was the wind rumbling through the house like a sleeping dragon, and the soft ticking of the antique clocks on the walls.

Tom had been downstairs in the kitchen sipping his black tea as his eyes scanned over the daily Prophet. A small grin made it's way into his face.

DEATHEATERS' STRIKE AGAIN

Last night at approximately 12.42pm Aurors discovered a true midnight massacre at 'Woodround Psychiatric Clinic' 24 miles outside of London, or what is left of it. Tragically the mental hospital had been burned to the ground, with no surving patients. 134 bodies have been accounted for including 21 employees and 113 patients. This heart wrenching tragedy has affected the lives of hundreds of families and thousands of friends of these defenceless  victims that didn't even have the right stare of mind to process the last few seconds of their lives. 74 of the victims where muggles and most likely had no idea of our wizarding world and yet they became part of our wars death toll. When will this madness end? When with the constant battle pureblood vs muggleborns finally give way? Are we doomed for segregation and discrimination for the rest of our worlds eternity? "These terrorist attacks are molding into a war" James Potter speaks head of Discrimination against muggleborn wizards at the Minstry of Magic. The Minste himself quoted "these attacks must stop, people lives are at stake over the differences In our blood. I know as a muggleborn man I am just as strong and intelligent as any pureblood man. These discriminatory behaviour, prejudice and hatred is inhumane and medieval. As a society we must rise above it" in these dark times of horror and hurt we must ask ourselves is it all worth it? 134 lives?

Rest in peace
