Wanted for mercy

𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂

Her skin crawled- fuck this. She knows who she is, she knows what she's accomplished. Astoria was going to tear this family apart and remake it all in the same moment. At least that's what she hopes for, her of all people know that hope no longer exists. Astoria was going to need help explaining, she laid there staring at the ceiling before moving, dressing and sending an owl.

Be at the safe house as soon as this reaches you. They know.
- A. G

Astoria walked out of the room, leaving the comfort of her bed and locked eyes with Theo. The anger was still there, her heart breaking the more she looked. With how long it's been the chance of Daphne regaining her memories would be extremely slim. As she walked downstairs she saw everyone at the table.

"Look who's decided to pop by." Gabe hissed

"I got the owl."

"Good. I have something to share, thank you Orion." Astoria smiled

"You're in on this piece of shit? Did you force her?" Evan spat

"Never. I'd sooner have my head on a pike than betray her. Sit the fuck down and shut it because you're about to have a very bad evening." Orion smirked

They sat, Theo stayed stood, his hands on the counter and his head low. Malfoy had a curious look on his face, Nova rolled her eyes, she was drunk as always. Astoria was still trying to force herself to speak

"Tell them! Tell your husband he's married a fucking liar!" Theo's voice broke on the last word

"What?" Blaise laughed, he turned to her, the smile quickly slid away

"I'm the spy! I am the bleeding spy. I have been selling information to the order, I am Lilith! Orion too is with the order." Astoria blurted

"What."

"Blaise I had too. This war has taken too many, none of you were prepared to do anything so I did. All in the name of Daphne." Astoria spoke

"Tori she's gone, i understand you want vengeance but this is not the way to go about it." Blaise teethed

"She isn't! My wife is alive and well residing in some muggle magic free village! I'm gonna throw up-" Theo turned over to puke

"It's coming- I'm gonna be sick.."

"Oh calm the fuck down." Nova cackled

"Shut it Nova." Theo gagged

Nova outright cackled again, her glass of whiskey in one hand and her other on her chest with a massive grin on her face, Hermione chuckling too beside her. They seemed to be on better terms...

"Blaise please-" Blaise snatched his hand away

"Do you know how many beatings I've taken for you? How many times I've had to convince our Lord and Saviour to not kill you? How many sleepless nights I've had watching over you when you got sick?" Blaise sneered

Fuck, I've messed up.

"I'm dying sweetheart. Better sooner and with a bang than in a dusty bed with a war still raging on." Astoria smiled, she readjusted his shirt

"A war I would much rather endure with you beside me Astoria. What the hell were you thinking! We were close to getting you on that mission," Blaise continued

"I knew it." Draco suddenly spoke

"That mission, the spells. You went for everyone, you went for Nott but it was... playful. You missed Blaise entirely every time."

Little miss "I know everything"- Tori rolled her eyes at the thought

"Alright smart arse. Why didn't you say anything then?" Theo spat

"I was pre occupied." Malfoy shrugged

"Shagging Granger..." Nott muttered, Malfoy stood but Hermione held him off

"Have I been living under a rock for my entire life? What have I missed?!" Evan tweeted

"We could actually ask you the same question." Hermione replied, Malfoy nodded

"What's up with those two?" Nova grimaced

"I think he likes the little mudblood." Gabe frowned

"You're all getting passed the point."Orion shouted "the point is, is that Mrs Zabini-"

"Call me Astoria please." Tori sighed

"Mrs Zabini has broken Voldermort practically into pieces, we have taken most of it whilst the order sits on their perky little backsides. If we give one final push, a final bait we could kill him." Orion finished

"We cannot. Harry has to kill him, it has to be Harry. Nott go and get Harry and Ginny from the tent." Hermione rushed

"No."

"Nott do as your told." Astoria pressed, he moved

"Don't you dare bring them in here! I can't look at him." Nova said, she had to walk away as Danny walked through with Harry and Ginny

"Gin!" Hermione smiled

"Oh Hermione! I've missed you." Ginny smiled softly

"I was worried for you Mione' any thing could have happened. I'm glad I went looking." Harry sighed in relief

"Don't be. Her and Malfoy fuck enough as it is so unfortunately she's completely fine." Nova gagged

Harry looked at Malfoy, his face completely still. Malfoy looked back at him. A challenge.

"That's not true! Tori back me up here!" She begged

Astoria didn't speak. Blaise took a hold of her arm and pulled her away, somewhere quiet and alone. Leaving Orion to babysit the arguing bunch.

"Why didn't you say something?" Blaise looked more disappointed than mad

"I knew you'd tie me down, I needed to be free to avenge my sister and every other life he has stolen. I will finish this war Blaise, help me..." She said calmly

"I can't do that. If he finds out-"

"He won't. Orion is skilled. He's been working with Penny- the order... though they do just sit around and wait for someone to do it for them." Astoria laughed

"What if he does. He will kill you." Blaise urged desperately

"Then you will pretend you didn't know. Let me die some sort of a martyr. I'm not destined for old age my love, let me go if you have too." Astoria smiled

"You're my wife, I made promises to you. I cant leave you to be buried alone." Blaise sighed, she made him look up

"I've had a lot of time to think about it, I'm not scared rather I welcome it. I love you Blaise Zabini and if you should have too bury me then do so knowing I'll be just fine. You'll have to do it soon anyway right?" Astoria winked

"Don't talk like that." Blaise shook his head

Damn you, why can't you accept I'm already dead.

"We will plan an attack, Orion is preparing them as we speak, now say it back." Astoria said

"I love you too."
