Malcom ran through his hillside cottage as his wife let out a scream, his wife was in labour

"Almost there Lee....just a few more seconds" Matt said as she guided her through the birth

"Matt it hurts! It hurts!" She yelled as the door swung open and Malcom ran in

Minutes later cry filled the room

"A boy" Matt said softly as he cradled the baby

A few days later a storm had hit the hillside, dark clouds had covered the sky......Malcom had grown accustom to being paranoid, he paced the living room floor with his wand cluched in his hand

Matthew was late....he was never this late, a bright light got Malcom's attention making him sigh as he opened the door to his front room

"Thank merlin! I was beginning to wor-

A spell sent him across the room with a trud

"Mal?"

"Leigh go!!" He yelled as he got to his feet grabbing his wand

"Well well well......if it isn't Malcom!" A voice that was to familiar said

"Black" Malcom spat as he raised his wand as footsteps scurrying away were heard on the floorboards above

"It's Lestrange now actually......Greyback go upstairs" Bellatrix said as she nodded towards the stairs

"No! Stop!" Malcom yelled as he ran towards the stairs only to be hit by a spell that sent him across the room

"NO!! PLEASE NO!!" Leigh's cries echoed through the house followed by footsteps

"NO!" Malcom yelled as he got to his knees only to be held there by one of the death eaters his eyes locked onto a pair of blue ones from across the room, a pair of eyes he swore he knew

"Well.....what do we have here" Bellatrix said with a gasp as Leigh was thrown to the ground her hands cradling something close to her

"I would say I'm surprised but it was obvious you two were bound to be together......shame though" Bellatrix said as she held her wand out

"Curcio"

Matthew ran across as the meadow as fast as he could, he was ambushed by death eaters on his way home while he fought a few of them off, the rest disapperated when one of them turned up and said he knew the location of the rest

Matthew could have sworn that he knew the one who said he knew the location

Matthew stopped dead in his tracks as he looked at the house before him now in flames

"No.....no!! No!! No!!! Malcom!! Leigh!!!"
