Molly Weasley’s POV
She was in a state of shock. The images of Potter’s small nursery were haunting her. When she came back home after seeing that scene, she just grabbed Ginny and Ron & thinking of what happened at Godric’s hollow she cried and cried and cried until Arthur just embraced her.
How can be a man be so vile that he would attack infants.
But she was also feeling happy…happy? Yes after all, her brother’s murderer was dead. Her brothers, Fabian & Gideon, happily living their life and suddenly the war broke out. Both of her brothers were young and powerful wizards in their own right, hence joined the Headmaster’s Order.
She didn’t want to join the order at the first glance because she was afraid. Afraid for her children lest they be orphaned. But after so many of her friends from school and local populace dying, She and Arthur decided to join the Order.
She was not given heavy weight jobs. As she was a mother of so many children , she was asked to take care for the food and other household things for the Order.
One day, Headmaster came with a solemn face and she had a gut feeling that something must have gone wrong. Then she was informed that her both brothers were killed in an ambush by Death eaters. Those bastards even discreated their bodies.
Apparently, a Muggle mother & her witch daughter was being raped. How did Fabean and Gideon came to know that information, nobody knew but they acted on the information and thought that Death eaters must have left the place. But, the information was false and a group of death eaters and werewolves were waiting for them.
They killed both of them along with that mother-daughter duo and ripped all of their heads by sheer force and threw them away.
And now, that monster is dead. She should be feeling giddy but she was also feeling guilty & sad. Guilty because she was feeling happy as an entire family was lost due to that bastard & sadness about a happy family, a young couple that she personally knew about is dead now. Another colleague, another friend lost.
As she was reminiscing about past, she heard her 5 year old son coming towards her. She quickly wiped her tears and put a smile on her face & looked towards Percy.
“Mom, can I keep him as a pet, please…? I will take care of him, feed him, clean him & everything else.”The pet in question was a brown ugly rat with one missing right paw finger. She saw some intelligence behind the eyes of the rat.
She contemplated as how much it would cost to keep a rat as a pet. Then, she though it won’t be much and hence mentally agreed.
“Ok, you can keep him. But remember, if he bit you or any of your siblings, I will throw him out myself.”
Percy nodded and gave her a big grin, happy having a pet to call his own.
Both of them missed the 8 legged spider sitting on ceiling with red light blinking from its eyes.

Fenrir Greyback’s POV
Rendlesham forest was infamous for weird sightings. Since the Incident of 1980, very few people dared to enter the forest. This is where he, the infamous Fenrir greyback had taken shelter.
After the news came that Dark lord has been killed at the hands of accidental magic of a child, Aurors were trying to find him & his pack of 15 werewolves. Everyone wanted a piece of him. So, he decided to leave Britain for some time so that flames could go down.
Just then he smelled something...a human.
‘Finally, some food to eat.’
He looked at other werewolves who also had smelled the same thing.
“Go & make sure you kill the person as quickly as you can. I am fed up with rabbits and squirrels.”
3 Werewolves quickly moved towards the place where the person was.
He smiled, afterall he would be getting fresh human meat after a long time.
He followed the other 3 into the forest. The smell was getting stronger as they were getting nearer to the place. His mouth was watering, just thinking of the warm flesh that he is about to get already made his blood to pump.
‘SKREEEEE……’
Before he could yell at others to stop, 2 out of 3 of his pack members lost their heads. He came to stop with a skid as he saw glinting silver wires.
‘It’s a trap.’ He thought bitterly.
But this was not auror office’s style. This was someone who is not an auror.
His howl shattered the peace of the night as he tried to alert his other pack members, but instead of getting a howl back, he heard a pained scream. His eyes widened and he quickly ran toward the scream came from. The screams & noises of fighting slowly - slowly were weakening, and he knew in his heart that his pack may be reduced to few after tonight.
As he reached there, his eyes widened as he saw a man surrounded by his pack member’s body parts. A sword in his right hand glinting in the moonlit sky, left hand having a claw, a bandanna covering his face.
He saw me and growled like an animal.
I answered him by moving & swinging my claw toward him with full force.
But he, he just quickly sidestepped my claw, instead threw a ball like thing toward me. As the ball touched me, it exploded.
It was not the explosion that caught him off guard, it was the silver particles in the air that burnt my body & my eyes and as I inhaled the air, it started to burn my insides.
I fell down on the cold floor of the forest,
I heard another howl and then silence. I knew my death was near, my sixth sense was speaking to me.
I picked myself up and unsheathed and swung my claws with wild abandon.
My ears were ringing with explosion, my nose was unable to smell anything as the silver I inhaled destroyed my sense of smell and I was unable to see as my eyes were burning due to silver.
I felt a chill in my spine as I swung my claw and felt the sword slicing my hand.
“Owwwwww”
Snarl’s POV
As I saw greyback howling in pain after losing his hand, I felt the raw satisfaction of him screaming to the heavens.
“Screammm.., scream as much as you want. Nobody is going to listen your cries of pain, Greyback. No one is going to save you, neither the death eaters nor your fucking Dark lord.”
“Who ... Who Are … you ?” Greyback questioned me.
“I am your Karma Greyback, I am your nightmare, I am someone who was a Father once, a husband, a family guy who was not with his family when he was needed the most.”
Suddenly Greyback start to convulse and I began to smile.
“What’s ...happening to me……? Please , please I beg you……., stop this pain, pleaseeeee….”
Greyback howled as the paralysin start to slow down his body.
“Why should I ? Did you stopped yourself when my daughter was asking you to stop.”
I slammed my steel studded shoe on his foot crushing his bones, leaving mangled flesh behind as he howled in pain.
“For your information, the smoke that you just inhaled didn’t just contained silver but also a paralysin that just causing you to lose control of your muscles.”
I grabbed his other foot and gave it same treatment as I gave the other of his.
“I want to make you feel the same pain as my daughter and my wife had felt on that night.”
Saying that, I grabbed his head with my clawed hand and started to push upward, just like Greyback did to my family.
“I am Snarl & I won’t stop until I have my revenge.”
I ripped his head from his body, and Infamous Greyback was no more.
