Yeah! Here's the new chapter!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let him go! My son has nothing to do with what happened to you and your mother, this problem is between you and me alone!" Sebastian yelled, glaring hatefully at Marcel.

"Oh! It looks like you care for at least one of your offspring" Marcel scoffed in disdain, "But I'm sorry, I promised my mother I wouldn't do anything to you... But that promise doesn't extend to your family" he said with a sadistic smile.

Marcel then turned his gaze to Rowchard, who was still recovering from the effects of the Cruciatus Curse.

"Nothing against you 'brother', only against your family" Marcel said, ignoring Rowchard's frightened and angry look.

Marcel then raised his wand and began reciting an incantation, pulling some items out of a bag that was tied around his waist and throwing them on the floor.

Meanwhile, the other Greengrasses outside the barrier were trying their best to destroy the barrier, but it seemed to absorb all the spells thrown at it.

And I, who was still with my mind thinking about the battle that just happened, turned my gaze to the barrier, analyzing it minutely.

"Damn it!" a man with a short beard and glasses growled, "Avada—"

"No!" Sebastian yelled.

"What? Why not brother? You know no barrier can stop a Killing Curse" the man said.

"I know Julius, but don't you think that after all the things he's done he hasn't prepared a counter-meditate against the Unforgivables?" Sebastian asked.

"So what do we do? We can't leave Rowchard with that madman in there" Julius asked angrily.

"And you think I don't know that?" Sebastian said frustrated.

As they discussed how to get through the barrier, Marcel's ritual was almost over, and we could see that some of the items Marcel had brought had melted or turned to dust.

Rowchard who was still at Marcel's feet saw that the items that had turned to dust and melted began to walk across the floor, forming a runic circle, with him at the center.

Marcel then took another vial from his pocket, from which he drank the contents and spilled the rest on the floor. He took another vial out of his bag and poured the black liquid inside onto the floor as well, and the two liquids came together and started heading towards Rowchard.

"Marcel! Stop it! I'll do what you want, I'll take the blame for your mother's death, and I'll let you kill me if it makes you feel any better!" Sebastian screamed in despair.

"Hehehe... It's already too late for us Sebastian" Marcel said with an amused smile.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!" those who were still trying to break through the barrier were startled by Rowchard's scream.

Looking at him, they could see that there were black veins running through his body, with blood leaking from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

"Rowchard! What are you doing with him?" Rowchard's wife asked in tears, covering her son's eyes as he clung to her shaking.

"What am I doing?" Marcel asked innocently, "It's actually quite simple to understand... I'm cursing your family!" he said opening his arms theatrically.

"Cursing our family?" Sebastian repeated, but then he understood what Marcel was doing, "A Blood Malediction!" he exclaimed.

"Ding! You nailed it!" Marcel said in mockery.

"No... Not that..." Sebastian muttered helplessly, and those of the family who knew what a Blood Malediction was reacted the same way.

"Hahahaha, YES! Your whole damn family will suffer and perish in time, just like you did to my mother" Marcel chuckled madly, looking at Rowchard, who writhed in pain in front of him, with the Greengrass family looking helplessly at him, knowing there was nothing they could do to stop the ritual.

Marcel then pointed his wand at Rowchard's wrist causing black mist to come out of it, and then at his own wrist, slashing it.

Blood began to trickle from Marcel's wrist to the floor, where it spilled into the ritual circle. The black mist that came out of Rowchard then began to enter through the cut on Marcel's wrist.

Marcel's veins then began to pulse, and they turned black like Rowchard's.

"You know what's funny Sebastian... This curse doesn't work without a blood sacrifice from the cursed family," he said, stunning Sebastian.

"What? No! Don't kill him!" he screamed.

"Haha, don't worry… As much as I'd like to kill him and all of you, I want you to live and suffer" Marcel said, earning a startled look from the Greengrass family and a confused one from Sebastian.

"But even so, the curse still needs a sacrifice... But unfortunately for you there is someone here who is willing to sacrifice himself and has the same blood as you" he said, causing Sebastian to look at him even more confused, but seeing Marcele's sadistic smile he understood what he meant.

"You're going to kill yourself," he said, looking at Marcel in horror.

Hearing that, I, who was watching everything carefully, turned to Marcel in shock.

"What!?" I said.

"Yes... But don't feel sad about my death" Marcel scoffed, "I'll go out with a bang" he said.

'Damn it! So this is how he died? He wasn't defeated or arrested... Marcel killed himself' I thought, looking at Marcel with clenched fists.

"Urgh!" Marcel who was standing there calmly, grunted in pain, falling to his knees on the floor, "Damn, this hurts like hell" he said, laughing painfully.

Marcel continued to recite the incantation, throwing more and more items and ingredients at his feet in the ritual circle.

And I started to look at the scene with a sad look, knowing that Marcel's life until now was just for this moment.

Marcel's veins began to swell, and from his eyes, nose and ears, black blood began to flow. I could tell he was in pain, but that didn't take the satisfied smile off his face.

"I hope you all suffer a lot, and know that this is all your fault Sebastian, live with it" Marcel said, before squirming, throwing his head back.

In the silence that followed in the room with everyone looking at Marcel, knowing there was no way to stop it, only Marcel's heartbeat could be heard.

The beats were loud, and over time they started to get faster, with Marcel grunting in pain, refusing to scream.

'Mom' I heard Marcel's voice, but he didn't say anything, 'I hope you forgive me for everything'

"Where is that voice coming from?" I wondered, looking around, but the voice was coming from everywhere.

'I know I wasn't a good wizard... a good son... A good person' the voice continued, and I turned to look at Marcel, only to see him smiling and looking off into space.

'This voice... It's Marcel's thoughts' I came to the conclusion.

'No matter where you are, or where I'm going... I just want you to know that you changed my life, you showed me happiness, affection, love'

'You were an amazing mother, and I'm glad I had you as my mother... I love you... Forgive me'

"Aaahhhh!" Marcel then screamed, his veins completely consuming his body, and his heart beating so fast it felt like it was going to burst.

Thump, Thump! Thump, Thump!

Thump, Thump!

Thump, Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

...

...

...

Marcel, who had been screaming this whole time, stopped screaming, and he just stood there, staring into space with a serene smile on his face.

His body, covered in black veins, began to slowly disintegrate.

The barrier he'd created began to crumble, and the Greengrass were ready to grab their wands just in case, but suddenly they felt a pang in their hearts, and they all fell to their knees groaning in pain, with the weaker ones passing out.

I could no longer see the continuation of the memory, as it began to disintegrate like the Marcel's body, and in the end the world around me began to fade into a dark mist.

End.

(End AN:Phew!! I'm re-reading and re-watching Harry Potter... Right now I'm reading Prisoner of Azkaban and watching Chamber of Secrets (Yes, this is one of my favorites from the franchise).

It's weird reading the books or watching the movies and remembering that I watched them when I was a kid... It brings a huge nostalgia, and it makes the experience of watching and reading them again even more magical.)
