Emilia Silverstien Sub-Plot

[Emilia Silverstien]

In the Beginning

Emilia's father, Marcus Silverstien, worked in the Department of Mysteries for the Ministry of Magic. He was a highly recognizable wizard for the work he had done for the Department. He would travel all around the world, investigating the prophecies. These prophecies were highly valuable, as the Ministry presumed. All the prophecies that Marcus would investigate, he would find that these prophecies would unfold just as predicuted. He then uncovered a prophecy within the Department that had been hidden away for several decades. What he didn't know that this day would change the his life and the future of his unborn child, Emilia, forever. This prophecy that he had s stumbled upon, was feared lost forever, of the defeat of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters, and the emergence of his successor. Marcus investigated this prophecy and concluded the order of the events that were happening in the wizarding world were in correct succession as the prophecy predicted. It was around this time that he found out his wife, Lidia was expecting. That was when he decided that he wanted to stop traveling the world investigating these prophecies and instead be with his unborn child. He then resigned his position after much protest due to the recent discovery of the prophecy about the defeat of the Dark Lord. When he left the Department Marcus did not realize that he was in grave danger, and that his whole family was going to be affected by it.

Life After the Department of Mysteries

For a while life after the Department of Mysteries was fantastic for Marcus and Lidia with their new daughter Emilia. They were overjoyed to have Emilia in their family and they simply could not spend enough time to her. They knew in their hearts that she was going to be a marvelous witch. Then everything started going down hill when Emilia reached a year old. That was when Marcus received news from the Ministry that the Dark Lord had got wind of the prophecy predicting his downfall and of a successor. He also knew of Marcus' investigation of this prophecy and wanted him. This was distressing news to the Silverstien family, they were just getting used to life with their daughter and having no worries. They knew they had to move away from their home to get away from the Dark Lord. He was on the hunt for them and wanted to capture Marcus to hear what the prophecy said and about his investigations. The Dark Lord realized it was easier to capture the person knowing what the prophecy said, than to attack the Ministry to get the prophecy for himself. So that was when he sent his Death Eaters out to look for the Silverstien family. Marcus luckily got wind of this search for himself and his family, so he gathered his family and began to run from the Death Eaters.

The Attack

The first attack came sometime right after Emilia's second birthday. Marcus had gotten word that the Death Eaters were close by planning to attack the family to capture Marcus. He immediately picked up the family once again and moved away from London. He found a desolate village on the out skirts of London to settle his family once again. He made sure that the Death Eaters would have a heard time finding him and more importantly he did this to protect his daughter, so he put enchantments all around the house and set up a system of alarms to alert him when the Death Eaters were near. He heard from the Ministry that he left his old home just in time because that very night Death Eaters raided his house to find it empty. This infuriated the Dark Lord and he punished the Death Eaters who did not catch Marcus severely. He then sent even more Death Eaters to capture Marcus. It was only a matter of time Marcus knew, when the Death Eaters would find them all. To be exact it took them only a year to figure out where he and his family were living. The Death Eaters were determined not to let the family escape again. One night, they planned to attack. Marcus and his family were sleeping soundly when all of Marcus' alarms began to sound. He knew he had to get his wife and daughter out of this house, especially his daughter whom he adored. He told his wife to take Emilia and to get out of the house. Lidia immediately went to get Emilia and to get out of the house, but it was too late the door was blown in. Emilia immediately started crying, since she was only three years old and she was terrified. Marcus screamed to his wife to get out safely with Emilia, but the Death Eaters continued to pour into the house. They had the whole family cornered, and it simply did not look good for the whole family. That's when Marcus created a diversion by hitting casting a spell that caused the ceiling to fall upon most of the Death Eaters. That gave Lidia, with Emilia in her arms, to get out of the house. Unfortunately one Death Eater managed to yell out the curse, Crucio, towards Lidia and it hit Emilia right in the elbow. This caused Emilia to scream out and start convulsing in pain. Lidia screamed at the Death Eater to stop, and Marcus saw what was happening and yelled the Killing Curse at the Death Eater. This immediately stopped the curse upon Emilia and her tiny little body gave out and she fainted in her mother's arms. Her mother managed to apparate to her parent's home in Wales, leaving her husband to hopefully fight off the remaining Death Eaters. Marcus was determined to fight off all the Death Eaters, especially after what they had done to his daughter. He managed to get away from the house after much curse throwing from both sides. As he was getting ready to apparate he heard one lone Death Eater scream out, that the next time, the Dark Lord comes after him and his family, it won't be for him, but instead of his daughter.

Life After the Attack

Marcus managed to apparate and reunite with his wife and his daughter in Wales. They both were concerned now about the safety of Emilia and the after effects of the attack. Emilia was in a deep sleep for a couple of days after having the curse crucio exhaust her small body. When she awoke she was a completely happy toddler again. As she was growing up, she showed no signs of remembering anything about the attack or where she got the scar on her elbow. Her parents felt no reason to tell her the horrific details and told her that she got that scar by falling out of a tree. They didn't want to worry her either with what the Death Eaters had said about coming after her next. Several years had passed since that fateful night, and they felt that was an open ended threat that the Dark Lord would not search for her at all. So Emilia ended up growing up with a normal childhood filled with love from her parents and constant support as well. It was the happiest day of all their lives when Emilia received her acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

Hogwarts

Emilia was so excited to come to Hogwarts and learn about magic. She was busting at the seams riding the Hogwarts Express. She entered the school full of apprehension because she didn't know what house she would be in. Her parents were Gryffindor's and she hoped that she would follow in their footsteps. Luckily enough for her she was sorted into Gryffindor and was so excited to be their. That was when the trouble began, she got herself involved with Dante, which did not end well. He was a follower of the Dark Lord, and she simply could not be part of that so she cut her ties with him. Then all the disappearances started happen and they were moved to a different school. Everything started off normally at this school, until the dream started.
The dream started out as a horrible nightmare to her with, but in reality it was her memory of the attack. Every time she had the dream, it would become clearer which terrified her even more. She could clearly see everything that was happening in her dream, and the worst part she could even feel the pain. Then she realized one day, that the dream was just to real, and she felt as if that it had happened to her in real life. That's when she realized that the dream was in fact a memory of the horrific attack upon her and her parents when she was just a toddler. The most troubling part of the whole memory is that some how it allowed her to see her father escape from the Death Eaters and hear that they will come after her even though she wasn't there.

What Happens Next?

Emilia often has asked this question over the course of the school year. She does not know what's in store for her at this school. She is terrified that the Death Eaters really are going to come after her, and she does not know what to do. The worst part is that she does not even know if she has anyone at Hogwarts that are willingly to help her or protect her. She realizes that in a way she is utterly alone in this battle, and has no one to protect her but herself.

The Questions


Is there anyone out there who will save her?
Does she has any loyal friends that will stand by her side?
Will the Dark Lord reach her, or will someone, anyone save her?
There are no answers to these questions, so only time will tell.
Are you willingly to help her or hurt her?
