AN: I started this story ages ago, I cannot even remember exactly when. I did not complete it. I got halfway through and hit a wall. I'm hoping now to finish it and get it out in the world so others may read it. My writing style has changed so please be forgiving when later chapters are up because there will be a change. If you read a chapter, PLEASE PLEASE review. If you loved it tell me what you liked, and if you hated it tell me what you didn't like. I am completely open to any and all comments. Thank you for joining me on this wild ride.
The Curse of an Enemy
The battle raged in front of her. She saw Harry near the steps of the castle dueling a Death Eater whose name she did not know. How much longer could they hold off the enemy? A shock of platinum blonde hair crossed in Brooke's field of vision. Thinking it would be the younger of the Malfoys Brooke realized she was wrong. Lucius Malfoy was headed to the duel between Harry and the Death Eater. Before Brooke could comprehend what was happening Lucius Malfoy had his wand raised at Harry and was shouting the beginning of a curse. Brooke took a step forward as if to protect Harry but knowing she couldn't do anything. And with Harry's back to the elder Malfoy he wasn't going to be standing for much longer.
All of a sudden Lucius was flying through the air. Brooke looked around to see who had saved Harry. Brooke couldn't believe what she saw. Draco Malfoy with his wand raised and a look of shock displayed on his chiseled features. Brooke ran down the hill she had been observing all of this on knowing she should be in the battle. When she got to level ground she heard Narcissa Malfoy screaming at her only son.
"How dare you curse your own father! How dare you protect that scum! You are no son of mine!" She brought her wand within inches of Draco's face, yelling a curse Brooke had never heard. Without thinking Brooke raised her wand and yelled, "Protego!"
Her shield charm reached the young Malfoy right before the curse did. The curse hit the shield and ricocheted back and hit Brooke squarely in the stomach.
