It was as cold here in Scotland as it was in Haggard, but at least it wasn't raining. There was a slight breeze and there was no-one around. Then suddenly a boy and a girl appeared from nowhere and then the boy was gone again.
Darquesse spun wildly on the spot before she realised what had happened. Of course. It had been the boy. Not that it mattered to her. She could deal with him and the skeleton later. She rose up into the air and looked around her. There was a village nearby and, beyond that, a castle. Lights came from the castle, and she sensed magic there – though not magic she had ever seen before.
She flew towards the castle, and as she grew nearer she could hear shouts and explosions coming from it. A fight then. Darquesse glided in through a hole in the wall and looked down on the battle below her. The people performed magic with sticks. She knew she had more power than everyone in this room put together.
Darquesse flicked her hand and people crumpled, unconscious. She could have killed them, of course, but she hadn't. She was feeling kind today. She saw three girls of about her own age, all fighting one woman.
The woman shot a beam of green light from her stick, narrowly missing the ginger girl. Darquesse heard a shout from behind her, and turned to see a plump, red haired woman running forward.
The other woman shot another beam of green light, this time almost hitting Darquesse. She spun round in mid- air, and the woman rose off the ground. Darquesse smiled. The woman dropped to the floor, dead. Darquesse went away, and Valkyrie collapsed.
Fletcher and Skulduggery appeared out of no-where, and ran to where Molly Weasley was looking from Valkyrie to Bellatrix.
"Who?…what?...Why?..."She said. Then she saw Skulduggery. "Oh my goodness!" She cried.
"Sorry about her." said Skulduggery "Did she kill anyone?"
"Only her!" said Ginny.
"Is that a bad thing?"
"No! It's an amazing thing!"
"Skulduggery….." Valkyrie tried to speak.
"Sorry, we'd better go!" With that, Skulduggery's feet left the ground and he flew out through the hole in the wall.
Everyone was coming round now. Harry felt as though he turned in slow motion; he saw McGonagall, Kingsley and Slughorn blasted backwards, flailing and writhing through the air, as Voldermort's furry at the fall of his last, best, lieutenant exploded with the force of a bomb. Voldemort raised his wand and directed it at Molly Weasley.
Hope you liked it! I wrote this a while ago after I randomly declared "Darquesse killed Bellatrix Lestrange!"
