Part 6, Chapter 3- Millenium Bridge

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Violet. Come now, my child." The Dark Lord says when he sees me.

I walk through the big crowd and go to his side. My mother is standing right beside him smiling. I bow my head to him and my mother claps her hands together, "Such a good girl you are Violet." My mother squeals.

The Dark Lord stands from his seat, "The time has come! You will all go to downtown London and take down the Millenium Bridge. There should be no survivors."

The room breaks into cheers and applause. I walk away from the Dark Lord and mix myself in with the rest of the crowd. "Hey..." Someone whispers in my ear.

I turn to my left and smile. Emma is standing beside me, in a black cloak with the Death Eater mask resting on the top of her head, "Hey!" I say happily. She passes me a black cloak and a mask and I pull it on over the top of my clothes.

"How is George taking all this?" Emma whispers. People around us are still cheering and clapping, everyone hyping each other up for the big attack.

"Dunno. I broke up with him last week." I whisper back. I put the mask on and pull it up to the top of my head so I can still have a conversation with Emma.

Emma takes my hand in hers and squeezes it, "You did?"

"He was going to kill me if I didn't. Didn't have too much of a choice."

People around us start to apparate off to the bridge. Emma and I look at each other once more before pulling our masks over our faces and joining the rest of the Dark Lord's army.

By the time I land in downtown London, it's already chaos. Muggles are screaming everywhere I look. Groups of Death Eaters are marching down the streets while others are popping up all over the place.

"LeStrange! Get a move on!" Someone shouts behind me.

I shake myself out of the initial shock of it all and force my way through the crowd, my wand in my hand. I follow the Death Eaters onto the middle of the Bridge. Muggles are getting out of their cars screaming. I grab onto the back of one of their shirts and pull them backwards.

"I'm sorry," I whisper before blasting them off the bridge. They land in the water below with a splash and I hope to god they are a good swimmer. Death Eaters all around me are throwing muggles left, right, and center. I can't even tell if they are people I know with these stupid masks on.

When I get to the middle of the bridge I fall in line behind a few other Death Eaters. The Dark Lord wants us to collapse the bridge, and he won't be happy if we can't complete our mission.

"On three!" Someone at the front of the pack shouts. Muggles scream.

My head starts to spin, my heartbeat quickens. I tighten my grip on my wand. I can feel George's heartbeat through the ring on my finger. If I close my eyes I can almost see him, hear his voice 'it's alright. You're safe with me.'

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Every wizard on the bridge points their wand at the concrete under their feet, "REDUCTO!" We all scream at the same time. The bridge below us snaps cleanly in half and the next thing I know I'm falling towards the freezing cold water below me. Before I hit the water I apparate, landing back in my dining room at the Malfoy Manor. The Dark Lord is sitting there smiling.

"Well?" He says to me.

I spin around the room, a few other Death Eaters have just landed, each of them have a muggle with them. They're screaming, no doubt because they just caught a glimpse of the Dark Lord. I imagine he's quite scary looking if your not used to wizarding folk.

"The bridge has collapsed my Lord. I am unaware of a death toll at the moment." I say looking back at the Dark Lord and my mother.

My mother comes running over to me and pulls me into a big hug, "I knew you could do it my little Violet flower!" She says laughing, "Making your parents very proud of you!"

That's when I realize, I haven't seen my father the entire time I've been back at the Manor. I look at my mother, "Where is father?" I ask her.

Her smile instantly fades off of her face and her eyes go dark, "A weak man that Rodolphus. He was tossed back into Azkaban along with that waste Lucius. Both of them should have DIED!" She spins around and goes back to the Dark Lord's side, "The Dark Lord is the only father you need dear Violet." She says her smile back on her lips.

A few Death Eaters push past me, their muggle captures screaming, crying, begging for their lives. They toss them into the office which as apparently been transformed into a sort of holding cell for people that the Dark Lord wishes to kill at a later date.

With the Dark Lord distracted I sneak off back upstairs into my room. Draco is pacing back and forth. Fergus is lying on my bed watching him. "Hey, dude," I say.

Draco spins around and looks at me, "oh thank god." He says before coming over to me and hugging me tightly.

"Told you I wasn't going to die."
