Moody's POV
It's been a long time he had came across such a messy setting. Body parts flung across the forest, blood covering the trees and bodies of Greyback and his pack or whatever left of them.
Greyback's head was ripped from his body, in the same style as Gibson was found days ago. It was clear that someone was taking revenge from these bastards, but the question is who.
"Sir, come here quick, looks like I have found something about our mysterious killer." The voice of Senior Auror Bones came from the other side.
"Here it is, A letter written on a muggle paper. So, it is possible that our culprit is a muggleborn who may have lost someone at the hands of death eaters & now wants the revenge." A late 30's woman in auror uniform spoke as she looked at the paper in her hand.
He looked at her with little softness in his eyes as he remembered as how she was enamoured with the auror job, how she lost her innocence when she saw her first dead body and how she lost the light in her eye as she heard about her family's death at the hands of death eaters.
And now as the dark lord is supposedly dead, which he doesn't believe to be true, the Death eaters are turning up dead. Something is wrong, he can feel it.
"What's written in it, Bones. Show me." She gave the letter to me.
'To
The Aurors
Stop trying to find me. You will fail. Until my revenge is not done, I am not going to stop. Tell the other Death eaters, I am coming for them.
Snarl.
"Looks like someone has a score to settle with death eaters." Bones stated.
"There are more than a 100 name that I could think of who wants to settle scores. The big question is which one this is?" I knew I was missing something in all of this mess.
Bones looked at the head of Greyback lying on the ground.
"What's the matter Bones?"
"Moody, you know I remember a case where some people were killed by death eaters in the exact manner as Greyback and Gibson."
"Which one ?"
" Remember Fabeon and Gideon. How they were lured to that muggleborn's home and murdered. If I remember correctly than—" I quickly cutoff her as my eyes widened in understanding, "they were killed in the similar way."
Ilooked at Greyback's head , " Either Someone from Prewitt family or Someone from that muggleborn's family is taking revenge."
Looking at Bones, " And looks like he is not going to stop anytime soon."

Grace smith's POV
Finally the day came. She was too much happy to notice her husband, Arthur, was also filled with joy. When they got the news that they can't have children, they felt someone sucked all the happiness from their life. They started to have fights amongst them, always ending up in her crying and Arthur consoling her.
It finally ended up 6 months ago when she heard about adoption. She then decided in her heart that she will adopt a child.
Then she discussed about this to her husband and Arthur quickly accepted it.
Now, after 6 months of gruelling process and paperwork, finally they are here at the Orphanage to adopt a child.
"Welcome to HOPE, Arthur and Grace, right!" A young man exclaimed as we entered the building.
"Ah yes, we are . You must be—" Arthur started but was cut off.
"Myself Noah. I was the one that you talked to. I will be your guide today. So, Shall we?" The young man, now identified as Noah was too much excited for this.
"Yeah, sure." I replied and Arthur nodded in agreement.
Then Noah started to move and signalled us to follow him. There were many people and many older children moving around in the entire facility. Most of the children appeared to be happy.
"They are those children, who were not adopted by anyone." There was some sadness in the eyes of Noah, but then he smiled and looked at us, "They will stay with us till they turn to majority. Most of them are taught according to their skills so that they won't have to worry about their life."
"That's great. I heard about the organisation few years ago, but never thought that they work so much." I exclaimed.
After a few minutes of chitter - chatter we reached a room which had a plaque of 'Nursery' written over it.
"So, here we are, there are children inside about 2 to 3 years old. You can go inside, spend some time with them, after you have chosen, we can proceed with the paperwork." He looked at his watch, " we can meet in 2 hours."
After that, Noah left us. We built up our confidence and moved inside the room and saw many kids just playing with multiple toys that were scattered around on the floor. There were few couple just like us watching the children and there were few between the kids, most likely people from orphanage, helping the kids.
Suddenly a ball struck her foot and a child crawled near her. She bent down to grab the ball and gave that to child. As her blue eyes met with the emerald green eyes of the child, she knew in her heart, she has choosen.
