It was a perfectly normal Saturday at the ministry for Holly Aspen. The sun was shining, the birds chirping, and her job at the Floo Regulation Panel was going well. Her husband, Ace Aspen was at the ministry as well, doing his Auror duties. Their daughter, Yvie Aspen was at home with a babysitter. Everything was well.. or it seemed to be.
In the Minister Of Magic's office, there was a disturbance. A very short wizard burst into the office, out of breath. He stood there puffing for a while before the Minister asked "Uh.. Mr.. Gray? Are you alright..?" He was confused but somewhat intrigued. The wizard looked up, panic-stricken. "Sir, s- s-ir, sir, I reciv- I ha- The dark lord has risen once again!" He squeaked the last part out and the minister laughed. "Oh Mr. Gray, I know it's been a while since the accident but are you sure that you've recovered? I have no reason to believe she's come back, only you! Maybe go home and get some rest.."
After a couple of hours, Ace and Holly were at home, watching Yvie play with her toy broomstick. They laughed as she zoomed around the house, her chubby legs almost touching the floor. It was.. perfect, and it would be perfect for 2 years after.
The dark lord was gaining power, and slowly the whole world seemed to know that. The minister had been fired because of his reluctance to accept it and the public was terrified. Ace was trying to catch one of his followers when.. it happened. He was struck with a curse that started to kill him. It seemed fine at first, but it got worse and worse as the days went on. After 2 months of fighting it, it finally took over and he died with Yvie and Holly next to him. Holly shut herself away from the world and poor Yvie had to fend for herself.
