The Droplets Of Life

"Harry!" I screamed as the green bolt of light sped towards him. His spun on the spot and his eyes grew wide in shock. I ran towards Harry as fast as I could muster in my weakened state and threw myself as a shield between him and Voldemort. Harry screamed with rage as the bolt of light hit me full in the chest and I was thrown backwards, away from Harry who was protecting the unconscious body of Dumbledore with all his remaining strength as the death eaters closed in.

I groaned as I fell heavily on my back, but made no attempt to move until I heard Voldemort move away from my seemingly lifeless body. Carefully, I heaved myself back to my feet scrambling for my wand as I got up. I was very weak and I felt no magic within me. I heard Voldemort's cackle of laughter, as he floated over to Harry standing over Dumbledore attempting to keep his spell going but both Voldemort and I could see that he was gradually growing weaker and weaker.

"Your little friend is dead" he hissed at Harry. His green eyes flew up to meet Voldemort's red.

"Selene?" he spluttered, his eyes began to tear up, even though Harry was now an auror, Voldemort still had to power to tear him up with one sentence. Harry faltered and the thin strip of light that was connecting his and Voldemort's wand flickered and grew lighter still.

In this moment of panic, I closed my eyes and repeated an ancient word for warrior over and over again praying for my strength to return so that I could help Harry and Dumbledore. Suddenly, I felt myself shine with such power and strength as I felt something fall into my hand and over my head.

I opened my eyes and there still gently glimmering under the starry sky was my mothers elfish longbow and resting over my head was her cloak made of Lothelian silk, one of the most powerful and protective materials in existence. Even in death she still watched out for me. Wasting no time, I shoved my wand into my pocket and reached into quiver that had been slung over my shoulder and notched an arrow. Just as I did this Harry finally gave up and his light disappeared completely as he slumped onto the ground in despair as his wand flew out of his hand into Voldemort's.

Voldemort laughed triumphantly and turned to his followers. I stayed as still and quite as possible , I could only let the arrow fly at the best possible moment as not to give myself away and I could not miss.

"They said that nobody can beat the great Harry Potter! See he crawls at my feet, like a rat beneath my feet!" he cried triumphantly. He pointed his wand into the sky and cried "Morsemorde!" A green band of light twisted out of his wand, hissing as it went and burst onto the night sky glittering like stars. It blinded everyone for a moment It twisted and hissed until it formed the shape the whole wizarding word feared the Dark Mark. My eyes adjusted to sudden change just as I saw a weak and powerless Harry being smacked aside by one of Voldemort's followers. Voldemort waved him away and stood over Harry who was not standing proudly facing Voldemort.

"The great Harry Potter" Voldemort hissed "The Boy Who Lived" he laughed a dark laugh "Well not anymore!" With that he pushed Harry back to the floor and raised his wand

"Avada!" he started and that was when I let the arrow fly.

The arrow found its mark and embedded itself deep into Voldemort's wand hand. He let out a howl of pain and he dropped his and Harry's wand onto the ground below him. Both Voldemort and the Death Eaters looked around in confusion and I took this moment's hesitation to run as quickly as I could over to Harry snatching up his wand as I ran.

Voldemort spun round and saw me crouching over Harry. "Avada Kedavra!" he screamed pointing his wand directly at me.

Before the jet of light hit me I raised my hands and muttered "Galad". With that a screen as bright as the sun erupted out of my hands and the jet of light bounced off it straight into one of Voldemort's death eaters who immediately crumpled due to the power of the rebound.

I stared Voldemort dead in the eye, as the screen travelled around to enclose myself, Harry and Dumbledore.

He stared back half with hatred and half with confusion. He paced up and down in front of the screen sometimes testing it and flinching when I sent a current through. Beside me Harry had collapsed and Dumbledore breathing was getting more and more shallow. I looked down at them in concern and decided that I had to transport them back to Grimmuald Place before I do anything else. Bending down ever so slightly but never taking my eyes of Voldemort, I considered my options. Even though my power had returned I wasn't sure I had got enough back to do two spells at once, which meant letting down the screen. If I attempted two something could go drastically wrong and I was not willing to take that risk.

Voldemort looked at me, a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Well, well, well!" he hissed "This is very impressive. Doing magic whilst wandless, blocking an unforgivable curse and keeping it up this long. I must say I am impressed. Who is this amazing creature who graces us the pleasure of its presence"?

I snarled at him under my breath but raised one hand to push back my hood. If he hadn't been even more impressed by the one handed shield that was still holding when he saw my face and put two and two together, his face revealed his shock.

"An elf!" he sneered but then stopped looking closer into my eyes "No not an elf, a half elf… half human! Hence the power in your spells. This is very impressive and I take it your immortal just like your mother except when you die in battle".

I looked up at him shaking my head.

"You think you know everything!" I laughed "If you knew everything you would know there are different types of elves. Fire, Water, Earth and Air. Like the elements you know?" His face went dark with anger but he didn't speak. "My mother was an elf of the earth which sadly meant she was not immortal but me I take after my grandfather… he was a fire elf which means…"

"Your totally immortal" he finished for me. I smiled at him sarcastically and nodded.

"Unless I choose to become mortal" I finished for him "And you know what the great thing about being such a mix of being is" I asked raising my eyebrow to which his eyes darkened.

"Being a mix means you can control … everything" .With that I let down the shield that exploded with a burst of light and I rushed back towards Harry and Dumbledore. Kneeling down next to them placing Harry's wand in his hand I quickly thought of Grimmuald Place and muttered "Fuin". There was another loud bang this time accompanied with purple light as they disappeared into darkness. Now I was alone with Voldemort and his followers. As the initial explosion faded, they came back into view as I spun around my bow raised, hood up and turned to face my fate.
