'GET OFF ME!' Hallie shouted, fighting the two Aurors that had hold of her and walking her out of the courtroom. 'IM NOT GOING! YOU CANT DO THIS!' The ex-auror continued to protest as she was unchained and bound into ropes by the Aurors.
Hallie had just received the worst news, the worst outcome of the situation that the blonde found herself. A sentence in Azkaban. Why? For refusing to follow the marriage law. Her marriage with Theodore had been a catastrophe. Not only had it resulted in her being tortured, losing a leg and several arguments it had resulted in pregnancy. As with everything else in Hallie's life, the pregnancy didn't go to plan. Hallie had miscarried during battle with James Blood. The day after she'd filed for divorce with Theodore and resigned as an auror, vowing to do everything in her power to bring down the marriage law that was the cause of all problems.
It had been stupid to defy the marriage law, flat out refuse to follow it in front of the entire Wizengamot and deputy minister but there was no way on this earth Hallie could go back with Theodore. There was no way Hallie would be able to have a child with Theodore Rookwood. If she could Hallie would make a scene, cause a stir, have the entire world know that the Ministry was forcing her to a sentence in Azkaban because she refused to conceive with the Father of her still born child. Naturally the Ministry wanted that to be kept quiet. There would be no moment of freedom, no last minute breaths of fresh air, instead the ex-auror was taken straight to Azkaban.
'PLEASE. YOU CANT DO THIS!' Hallie continued to cry as the Aurors apparated into the lonely rock in the middle of the North Sea. This was it. The temple of depression. The final pitfall in her life of eternal misery. Already darkness was crawling along her skin, creeping through her veins and poisoning her mind. Even from the outside if the prison the blonde could hear faint cries in the distance. Was it her brother being attacked by a werewolf? Or Maura being mutilated? Whoever the screams belonged to Hallie didn't want to find out, she couldn't. She couldn't be subjected to the torture of those screams.
'No. No. NO!' Hallie kicked one auror in the shin. The other tried to restrain her. Hallie shouldered him in the jaw. The one whom had been kicked in the shin had found his balance again. WHAM! Hallie had been punched hard in the face, falling to the ground.
'Get away from my daughter.'
Wind rustled around the hem of Amelia Cooper's robes. The Professor had abandoned her post at Hogwarts to be there for Hallie's trial. Her lessons for the day were covered by a substitute, she would return tomorrow. At least amelia thought she would, not anticipating the fact Hallie would actually be sentenced to Azkaban. Upon hearing the result if her hearing Amelia, too, had apparated to Azkaban.
'Stupefy!' The auror who punched her daughter was stunned, a sleepy expression pasted across his face as he fell to the stoney ground.
'Protego!' She yelled, deflecting the spell of the other auror who'd attempted to ward Amelia off. 'Stupefy!'
'Mum!' Hallie gasped through a bloody nose. 'W-what are you doing here?'
'I'm taking you away. We're leaving the country-'
'But, Hogwarts?'
'They can do without me, I'll write a letter appointing Keiran as a replacement. We're not staying here. We're not staying in a country where they lock innocent people away. We're going to go elsewhere, somewhere that we can live in freedom, where they won't find us.'
Amelia unbound her daughter and embraced her. She wasn't exactly sure what she'd do for she didn't have a plan. Where would they go? Where would they live? How would they live? Would they be wanted by the Ministry? Amelia had no answers, all she knew was that the mother inside of her was ablaze and she was doing everything in her power to protect her daughter.
Crack. They were gone.
