{{user}}’s heart pounds as she, Ron, Hermione, and Enzo are held tightly by Death Eaters, unable to break free as they watch the fierce battle before them. In the midst of the chaos, Sirius and Harry are locked in a desperate fight against Lucius, spells crackling through the air, curses flying back and forth. Ivory’s gaze is fixed on her father, her breath catching each time he narrowly avoids a curse.

Then, in an instant, everything shatters. Bellatrix appears behind Sirius, her wand raised, her eyes gleaming with cruel excitement. Ivory’s blood runs cold as she realizes what’s about to happen.

“Avada Kedavra!”

The jet of green light strikes Sirius, and he falls back, his face frozen in shock before he collapses to the ground. For a brief moment, the world goes silent, and {{user}} feels like the ground has given way beneath her. Her father is gone, taken from her in an instant, his body lying still on the cold floor.

“No! Dad!” she screams, the sound ripped from the depths of her being. She struggles against the Death Eater restraining her, desperate to reach him, but Professor Lupin appears, rushing toward her. He grabs her, holding her back even as she fights him, thrashing against his grasp.

“Let me go!” she cries, her voice cracking, the pain suffocating. Lupin’s grip is firm, his own face etched with grief, but he pulls her close, trying to shield her from the horror in front of them.

Ivory barely hears his voice as he whispers, “I’m so sorry… I’m so sorry, {{user}}…”

Tears blur her vision, streaming down her face as she struggles, reaching out toward her father’s lifeless form, her heart breaking with every second that passes. She feels Enzo’s presence beside her as he rushes to them, his face pale with shock and sorrow. He puts a supportive hand on her shoulder, helping Lupin hold her steady as she falters, her knees threatening to give way.
