Correction of the future (Harry potter)

Chapter 2

~KIDNAPPING~

[screen pans to a large marble mansions. It's a sunny day and the words '5 MONTHS PRIOR' at the bottom. The camera zooms into the right bottom window where a family of blondes are sat having a meal. Camera focuses on a 21 year old MARLENE MCKINNON who is sat in between an elderly man and a young girl.]

"Hey Marley! That's your house!" Mary exclaims, pointing to the screen. Marlene rolls her eyes at her friend.

"Yes Mare, I can see that, you don't need to point." She states, causing the other girl to pout.

The future generation seem confused by the scene, only Fez seeming to understand what was going on as he sucked in a sharp breath.

Marlene: Yes aunt Dorothy. I haven't seen him since Fez was born. [she looks tired and frustrated as she picks at her food absentmindedly]

Dorothy: And you still let the muggle name him?! Codswallop. You foolish girl! I could of told you the boy would leave just by looking at him!

[MARLENE slams her hands on the table and stands, catching the attention of all the others at the table.]

Marlene: if you are referring to the colour of his skin aunt then I suggest you take your old fashioned racist views and shove them right up your-

Francis: okay! Marley, honey, why don't you go and check on little Jack. [MARLENES father interrupts, holding his hands up in a peace signal between the two McKinnon women]

Marlene: for the last time! His name is Fayez. [she scowls at her family and storms out of the dining room]

"You tell them racist arses!" Dorcas shouts as she smiles at her gryffindor friend. Marlene looks annoyed at her family's obvious racist views towards her future son but pleased that she stood up for herself in the future.

Fayez has a confused look on his face. He hadn't met any of his mothers family so the fact that they didn't like his culture was surprising and sad. Harry took the boys hand.

[ camera shows MARLENES feet stomping up the stairs through the railing and to an attic room. It spans to show the whole room, which has a very punk-rock aesthetic, a singular white cot standing out in the theme. This is the childhood room of Marlene.

MARLENE walks to the cot and it shows a sleeping baby with brown skin and a tuft of brown hair. MARLENE pick up the babe to her chest and smiled adoringly at him.]

The McKinnons share a soft smile.

Marlene: hello mon bébé [she cooed softly at the baby, who sleepily opens a single hazel eye at her. One of his hands reaches to pat her cheek and she chuckles]

"I always forget your mums French." Ron says to his friend. Fez snorts in response, seeming softer than his usual sarcastic demeanour.

"That's cause my Arabic side is more obvious Ronald." He responds, reaching over Harry to flick the gingers ear. Ron narrows his eyes playfully as he rubs his ear.

[MARLENE hums a tune and she rocks the baby, walking slowly around the room as the lads eyes fall shut.

The room goes ominously silent as MARLENE pauses and looks to the ceiling cautiously as a slight creek is heard. She gently lowers the baby to his cot before walking out the room, locking the door behind her and retrieving her wand from her pocket.]

"This is creepy." Peter mutters to his friends who shush him, all in the edge of their seats watching the screen intently. Harry's hand tightens around Fez's.

[ she walks down the stairs, careful to not make any noise. She gets to the bottom floor and sees the front door open a crack. Letting out a shaky breath, her grip on her wand tightens. She goes to the dining room, where the double doors had been pulled too and slowly pushes them open.

The room shows all of her family members staring blankly ahead, still seated in their seats from dinner, meals not finished. All of the MCKINNONS are dead in their family home.]

Marlene: oh my god. [ her wand falls from her hand as she raises her hand to her mouth in horror, tears in her eyes. She freezes for a minuet, before sharply turning to the stairs. A sharp in take of air is heard and then the screen goes black.]

The hall is silent in shock. A sob from the McKinnon girl shakes them out as they all converse with each other. Marlene is pulled into a tight group hug by Lily and Mary, Dorcas making her way over to join the trio. The marauders are all quiet for once, saddened by the death of their friends family and potentially her.

Fayez is blank faced, his hands in tight fists as he stares at the screen, not acknowledged the concerned look from his friends.

Everyone looks to the screen again as it shows another scene.

[the sound of a machine is heard as the black screen fades into a view of a grey room in a plane of a type. A group of people dressed in all black are shown to be standing either side of the room. The camera zooms to a man standing by an unknown grey cube. He raised his hand to his ear and presses on some kind of device.]

Man: the McKinnons have been eliminated.

[camera transitions to a room full of screens and a silhouette of a tall man is behind them.]

Tall man: and my grandson?

[voice of first man sounds over a radio.]

Man: Fayez Al Ayad has been obtained, master.

[ camera moves to side of tall man's face, showing as a malicious smirk spreads across his face as he observes the screen showing the baby from before]

Tall man: excellent.

[light flashes across the screen]

"That's your grandfather!" Sirius shouts at the boy beside his future honorary nephew. Said boy nods in resignation, avoiding eye contact with everyone. His hand subconsciously rises to scratch at the side of his neck where a scar stands out against his dark skin.

The hall had erupted as everyone discussed the revelation. Marlene had stopped sobbing but was still looking defeated in between her friends, staring sadly at her future son. Her current boyfriend had told her very little about his father, only that he was not a good man.

Conversation hushed as the movie continued.
