Chapter 1. Family meetings
I looked around me and all I could see was blood and snow. My brother had chosen for the worst and was now fighting a war against his own people. My brother was stupid, although many girls thought he was cute. How could they, they knew what fate would follow them if they fell in love with my brother. It was appalling.
"Dumbledore, he's advancing!" I shouted across the snow. Aurors stood beside me taking stance, wands held up high and magic running through them. They were ready to fight, and so was I.
I was an elf, although I was trained with magic from Dumbledore. He was nice to me and very patient. He knew how no elf in the whole elf society had been able to learn magic except me. I was the first, and he hoped many would follow after me. I'm what my brother would call an embarrassment. He cut off his elf ears when he was 5, not wanting to be an elf. He ran off to become a magician of the worst sort. My mother was distraught and killed herself. My father, well my father, I never knew him, I was left all alone by myself with no one to help me.
"Layla get down, he knows your here." Dumbledore shouted towards me, I heard but did not follow his instructions. "He's my brother, he must face the facts. Leave him to me."
As my brother advanced in front of me I could hear his ragged breathing.
"Brother how nice it is to meet you again." I looked up at him, but only saw the black hood that covered his face. "Brother? Mere elf, what is your business here? You do not know me, for I shall kill you, don't hold your breath." His words shook through me as my breath also became ragged. I saw that the other aurors were fighting off all the other death eaters. I placed my gaze back on my brother and muttered something under my breath. My brother gave a sharp cackle and pulled his wand out of his robe.
"Silly elf, you did not back down, and for that you would pay."
I heard him mutter the unforgivable curse, but I was paying too much attention on my shield to care. The curse hit my shield and rebounded to him, I saw him fall and crumble to the floor. I rushed towards him and muttered some more. The death eaters had all turned around to watch me. I looked around at them and said
"Take your useless Master. He will live, but barely. When he awakes, tell him that his sister is happy that he tried to kill her. For now she knows the truth."
The Death eaters looked around at each other and slowly advanced taking their Master, they quickly retreated into the forest out of sight.
"Layla are you ok? You seem to have taken quite a bashing from that curse" "I'm fine Professor thankyou" "Very well. May I please ask how you revived him from the curse?" "My secret Professor. The word of the elves is not to be spoken out loud." I gave a weak smile towards Dumbledore and fainted.
