It was late May of 1979 when the rest order had the news. Ally couldn't help but still hear the ringing in her ears.

She was making the cups of tea for the group that she was with, Frank having his arms wrapped tightly around her as he made sure that her wound stopped bleeding. Marlene was sobbing into Sirius arms and Toby was holding an inconsolable Luke.

Nobody thought it was real. Nobody could believe that only this morning they'd been having a laugh and joking about the future but this, it was unimaginable.

"I just can't believe it." James breathed as he held onto Lily

"Nobody can,"

Alcyone Montague had known that Dorcas was doing a bloody good job at winding you-know-who up. She had become outspoken, both of her parents had good jobs within the ministry and were handing out flyers that were deemed as 'against you-know-who' material.

Dorcas didn't care, she made sure that her brothers knew what was going on and that she made sure that you-know-who knew that she was ready for a fight.

"Have we got an order mission today?" Frank asked the group as he brought cups of tea out

"Probably. You know what, I'm tired of being scared. We're a few months away from 1980, Ally's birthday is soon. I don't understand what this issue is, we need to take charge." Dorcas ordered "we need this finished by Christmas," she nodded

"While I agree with you sweetheart, I think we need to be strategic rather than lead by time," Luke told her

"Luke is right, it's going to take as long as it takes," Toby agreed

"We'll I'm not getting any bloody younger, so I'd appreciate it if it was over as soon as possible." Dorcas joked

"We'll either way there is no birthday party for me this year." Ally told them "I can't be arsed without Remus and to be honest it's too much hassle,"

"Remus will be back soon Ally, then you and him can be settled and happy again." Alice reassured

Ally nodded. Remus had been gone for quite some time now since they had come out of hospital. It was okay, but it was getting lonely now without him. She longed for his touch. She wondered what he was doing, if he was safe.
