บท 13: Chapter 13
The woman hummed a song quietly as she gently rocked the baby in her arms.
" Skuld Nike Weasley, you are a miracle " She whispered and returned to her lullaby admiring the red-haired baby.
Until it happened.
She saw something strange in her.
She quickly took her away, putting her in her crib with heavy breathing and fear in her eyes.
No...
. . . . .
Her course hair flowed through her fingers.
The time had come.
They have forced her into this.
She advanced with her steps echoing throughout the room. Nothing had changed since she first entered here, only the atmosphere of danger and fear was now more familiar.
She gave a little kick to the monster's skin, and it continued advancing as if nothing had happened.
Although inside it everything was.
She lowered her head at the exact spot, and then listened to him.
"Skuld Weasley..."
" Here I am, my Lord " She bows awkwardly, and advances a little further. " I never fail to keep a promise, Tom Riddle, and I promised to do this."
" You are loyal, girl. "
Skuld cleared her throat slightly uncomfortably.
She didn't dare look at her sister, who, paralyzed with terror on the floor, saw another monster in the room.
It wasn't some giant snake, nor a dark memory of Lord Voldemort.
It was her sister.
. . . . .
" GINNY!"
Rejection.
Not a glance at the dying girl. Nothing.
Although she was now beginning to understand her family.
Skuld Weasley thought herself a monster, and monsters don't deserve anything good.
"It was her " Ginny stammers with her index finger pointing directly at her. " S-She talked t-to him, she did e-everything."
Thanks to Tom she had learned to control Occlumency.
But not to manage her feelings.
How to stop feeling? How to remove this pain and regret?
. . . . .
" This... Nike... " Arthur Weasley looked noticeably uncomfortable.
" I know " She nodded, looking at the man leaning on a wall a few meters away from them. " Have a good summer."
She walked straight toward the scarred man without looking back.
It's the right thing to do, just break.
And she, well. She was already broken.
" Finally we can see each other in person, Skulddie " the man smiles, raising some scars on his cheekbones. " I'm Remus Lupin. "
She nodded in response.
------------------------------------
"Is this for me?" she asked, feeling stupid.
Remus smiled.
" Of course, Skulddie " he nodded, excited to see the redhead smile. " For having missed so many important moments in your life."
The loving cat meowed in the arms of its new owner.
" It was enough for me to know that you were there " She caressed her new pet. " Thanks again, R.J.L. "
" Have you thought of a name? " He asked, changing the subject and sitting next to her. " I like Blue, because of his eyes."
Skuld analyzed the animal's celestial gaze.
" His name will be Nahum."
[T/N: Nahum is a Old Biblical name, basically meaning comfort.]
The werewolf nodded in agreement, and looked out the window.
They didn't have much, but for the not-so-Weasley they had everything.
