A Mother's Love
"NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH!" I yelled as I ran across the Great Hall to where Bellatrix Lestrange was trying to kill my baby girl.
I shielded Ginny, Hermione, and Luna with my cloak and began to duel with the devout Death Eater. I would not allow her to harm anyone else. This would be her last duel; I would make sure of that.
She laughed at me and I saw the evil glint in her eyes. She wanted to kill me, to prove that she was worthy of the title 'Death Eater,' but I could not let that happen. I prepared myself for her assault of spells; for I knew that she would not miss an opportunity to send a single curse.
She shot silent Killing curses at me from every angle she could, twisting and turning. I dodged each one, using my dancing experience to avoid each blast of green light.
As we fought, I saw a pattern emerge in her wand-work; left and then right, down and then up, twist, and repeat. I followed the rhythm, purposefully faltering every now and then so that she would not realize what I was doing.
Once I was comfortable with her pattern, I began to interject my own Stunning spells. I did not want her to live, but I could not bring myself to think those two fatal words.
She smiled evilly at me and said quietly, so that no one else could hear, "Molly, you would have been better off without the blood traitor. You've sealed your fate. I killed my niece and I can just as easily kill you," Tonks, she killed Tonks. My blood boiled as she continued, "Once I'm finished with you, I'll move on to that little brat of yours. She'll be so distraught over hear dead mother that she won't even fight back," she laughed maliciously.
That's it, this bitch is going down. I followed her pattern more closely. Just as she began to repeat her cycle, I sent the most powerful Stunning spell I could. My red light collided with her green one, and they ricocheted off each other, shooting back towards their casters. I ducked under my own, staring at Bellatrix the whole time.
She was distracted by her own laughter. She realized it a moment too late, and her own Killing curse, the one that was meant for me, hit her directly in the chest. Her body toppled backward and landed on the floor with a triumphant thud. That bitch got what she deserved; she never should have doubted a mother's love.
