I whistle to myself cheerily but quietly as I sit down in the back of the Leaky Cauldron with a firewhiskey.
Trying to convince myself as much as anyone else that I was happy and everything was okay.
Because everything wasn't okay.
My baby cousin and only family left was dating and having the child of a filthy death eater murderer who had killed my family and she didn't even know.
Two of my best friends were dead and I was growing to like one of their girlfriends a little too much.
That is so not okay.
Nothing is okay.
I sigh slightly, taking a sip of firewhiskey.
"I'm okay," I say under my breath, "But not really."

"Or maybe you're just creepy." I joke, "Sorry, I didn't think-...talking to myself and just assumed I was only the one that could hear me. Didn't expect a reply." I laugh.

"I'm rude too. No worries." I say, "I'm Charlie by the way. Before I start spilling the dregs of my pathetic life to you."

"Hey, I have no life either! Kind of. Sometimes." I shrug, "I'm just kind of pissed off at...I'm not sure actually. See, my baby cousin, Maddie, she-...she has this boyfriend, and she's pregnant, and I've done my research and it turns out I know her boyfriend, quite well and he's a filthy scum sucking murderer and is adept at torture and a lot of other things...which I won't mention, but she says that he's changed but no one changes that much. And, of course, that's only problem numero uno." I sigh, "Which kind of sucks."

"yeah well i know what the whole scum bag is like. i'm being forced to be one. which isn't that great." i sigh not really thinking about what i was saying because of the firewisky. "they've already got my first..whatever you want to call it. they want me to go after this one woman. she's got two kids and a third one on the way. and i need to find a way out because as far as they told me her life sucks at the moment. she just lost her brothers and now she's pretty much alone. except her boyfriend. which they've already got him away for about two days." i sigh "and the whole he's changed. maybe he has. just stick close by your cousin. and really close, just in case he hasn't. but if you try and convince her to leave him it's not going to work."

"Mate, you're being forced into it...he enjoys it." I sigh, then something clicks through the haze of firewhiskey in my head...two kids...third on the way...both brothers dead..."Oh my God...Molly." I say under my breath, standing up, and attempting to stay steady, "Man, I'm warning you. What you're being forced into isn't fair and I'm willing to get some of our best guys over at HQ on your case to try and help you out, but if you lay one finger on Molly I swear to God you won't even live to regret it."

"No, please, man. Not Molly." I say, almost begging, "I promised. I promised Gid and Fay I'd make sure she was okay. Not Molly. Please. Look, I'm with the Order, it's my job to protect people who've already been targeted, that's what I do for the Order. Give me your family's names and no one will touch them. I'll make sure of it. And I'll get others on their case too. You don't have to cave into this."

"he wants her gone, or at least that's what some tell me. just because your that good doesn't mean they he's gonna stop. no mater how unfair this i've got to. and the order can't protect my family. they can't, ok. i've heard of to many times that the orders failed. i'm not risking that with them." i say "i have no choice."

Molly... I think desperately to myself, pushing whatever else that sucked about my life to the side for a moment.
Now would be a good time to manage wandless magic...Enervate.
Nothing.
Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Enervate.
I come to the on the floor of the Leaky Cauldron, blink a couple of times, not quite sure how I'd got there or why I'd been so desperate to not be here anymore, then get uneasily to my feet.
The guy...Molly...and he'd run...that way.
I get up and make my way hastily out of the bar, drawing my wand and glancing up and down the high street for any sign of him.

I spot him and start to run, but then he's already gone.
"Fuck." I say loudly to anyone who cared to listen.
Then apparate to Hogwarts, where I figured she'd be and if she wasn't, then I'd find her.
Before he did, hopefully.
