Assassin
Chapter one:
Prologue
Confusion….. Chaos…….
These words reigned supreme through all the fighters, light and dark, throughout the hall.
"Stupefy!" A bright red light streamed from the end of Hermione Granger's wand, her waist length brown hair whipping across her face, (it had de-frizzed a couple years ago.) flashes of light and falling pieces of walls streaking across the length of the Great Hall.
"Bitty, baby mudblood! You will never beat me! Avada Kedavra!" Bellatrix Lestrange whirled away from Hermione's spell before responding by sending her own deadly spell back.
"Protego! Stupefy! Petrificus Totalus!(A/N spelling?) With the last spell Hermione sent off, Bellatrix was hit, causing her to freeze and topple towards the hard, marble floor of the Hall. "Please Pixie, don't fight me and Dandy." Hermione pleaded. She lifted the spell, but Bellatrix remained frozen.
"Only Narcissa, Ariel, and Andromeda called me Pixie." She whispered.
"I know." Hermione smiled sadly, "I am Ariel." Bellatrix's eyes widened as she fought back tears.
"I fought you. I promised I wouldn't. I fought you. I'm so sorry. I fought you." Her mantra would have continued but it was cut off by Narcissa's screams.
"Princess!" Hermione and Bellatrix screeched in unison. They ran over to her, stumbling over fallen and bleeding bodies on their way. She was covered in blood, evidence of Lucious' rebounded 'Sectumsempera' curse.
"Move over." Hermione ordered, "And stand watch Pixie." She moved Narcissa's robes over, exposing the cut flesh. She gave an involuntary hiss before beginning healing her. Ron came past.
"What are you doing Hermione?" He hissed. "She's a Malfoy."
"Your point?" Hermione asked, continuing to heal Narcissa. When she was finished they watched Pixie protect them from a shadowed attacker. Panting, Bellatrix turned towards them.
"Time to save Dandy?" She asked, pointing across the hall to where Lucious and Andromeda were dueling.
"I have dibs on killing Lucious." Narcissa said in a sing-song voice, made terrifying by the wicked smirk that accompanied it. "He corrupted my son." Bellatrix opened her mouth to say something, thought better of it, then ran off towards the dueling couple. A few yards away however, she was waylaid by a new opponent, one Ginny Weasley.
"No Unforgivables." Hermione said as she and Narcissa sprinted past.
"CRUCIO!" Lucious's strong voice called. Andromeda dodged the flash of light and it sped along towards Narcissa, hitting her. As Narcissa writhed in pain Hermione screamed,
"NO!" Her face was contorted in rage. She whirled around and sent a strong spell at him, one Voldemort had taught her when she was ten, when she was still in training to kill Dumbledore. Before she was ripped away, away from her family, and away from her twin. It threw him across the hall, slamming him into a wall as Hermione boldly strode forward.
"Do…. Not…. Hurt…. My…. Family." She hissed, each word separate, distinct and with a threatening edge to it. Turning she said, "He's all yours Princess." Before striding off to confront Voldemort, her one time mentor.
Oh dear, Hermione was Voldy's student at one time. How will this turn out? I already know of course, but you don't. This story was just plopped in my head and it wouldn't get out so here it is. Now here's the disclaimer:
Twinfeathers does not own Harry Potter. If she did Remus would be a vampire instead. (I love Vamps and I love Remus so a vampire Remus would be awesome. My best friend thinks werewolves are better but I prefer vampires unless it's Remus.)
