[Celestine's POV]
"Celestine" Jax's mother let out with disbelief. The hall went silent after I slapped Anne. Amelia was tugging my hands. She was shaking. Nobody could believe that a muggle could slap a high-ranking witch.
"You!" one of the wizard guards shouted breaking the silence.
"Stop!" Anne said.
"My Lady," a confused wizard said.
Anne ignored him and pulled out the wand she used to tie Jax.
"I don't know if this is bravery or plain foolishness. But a mud-blood slapping a Witch is a punishable offence. You will very soon be shipped off to Azkaban. I hope you know that" Anne asked emotionless.
My face paled. Not only would I have to endure the pains of the dementors but also Amelia would be sent to an orphanage. If the situation deteriorates further, her magical powers may be uncovered.
"Not feeling so brave now, are we?" Anne mocked.
"I-I" I need to apologize but somehow my mouth could not form the word sorry.
"Take the boy to the departure area. Also, after checking the girl finds a good orphanage that crushes a person's rebellious side" Anne said smirking.
Two guards were coming towards me to take me away. My daughter and her best- friend were being taken away. Jax's mother and father were crying. The other muggles were looking at us with pity. If only I had not met 'him'. The two guards were closer to me now. Their wands were pointing at me as if daring me to move. But they don't know they are facing the Ravenclaw Head-Girl.
"Stupefy" I shouted pointing my wand at the two men. One thing I benefitted from Tom was learning the swift movement of hands.
The two men fell back with the force of my wand.
"Alartayasenderay," I said pointing my wand at the wizards taking Amelia and Jax. Their bodies flew up and fell.
"Capture her! She is a fugitive" Anne shouted.
"Petrificus Totalus" I said.
Anne froze and her body fell to the ground.
"Quick! We have to get out of here!" I said grabbing Amelia's hand. Jax and his parents followed after me.
[Riddle Manor]
[Tom's POV]
The headlines were shouting about a fugitive spotted on street 68. The fugitive managed to escape with her daughter and a muggle family.
"Ms. Shirley, I expected better of you. A single witch and the entire team's defeated."
"I am sorry, my lord. We had put our guards down for a mom-"
"Crucio"
I watched as the stupid girl writhed in pain. Her face started swelling as she gasped for air.
"I am sure you were told before taking this job that it would be full of surprises," I asked.
"Yes, my lord" the girl trembled in pain.
"THEN WHY DID YOU PUT YOUR GUARD DOWN?" I shouted. Anne Shirley was one of the best girls for this job. She has been a member of our inner circle since Celestine left. I do not forgive anyone and if it is my inner circle making mistakes then they receive the worst.
I lifted the curse of her.
"I am sorry my lord" Anne said shaking from the effects of the curse.
"Find the girl within this month," I said. But honestly, a month is too much for my standards. Saying this I dismissed the girl.
I flipped to the next page of the newspaper. It was an extension of the fugitive. There was a picture of the fugitive there running away with a girl.
Wait the fugitive, no this can't be. It is Celestine. Yes, I am sure. I can recognize her anywhere.
Is that girl her daughter? Did she sleep with another man?
"Anne" I hissed touching my dark mark.
"My lord" Anne apparated bowing down before me.
"Find the girl within this week."
"The fugitive, my lord?" Anne asked.
"Who else do you think?"
"Yes, My Lord" Anne bowed down.
