Chapter 12

Snape took one look at the flaming ball in Sarina's hand and ran out with Malfoy. The ball of light vanished as they left. No one said anything. All the marauders did was stare at Sarina.

Then Remus spoke, " How did you do that?"

"I don't know. All I did was want to throw something at Snape, and it appeared," Sarina explained.

"You could be physic or something I saw a thing about that on muggle TV," James suggested. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sarina closed her book. After a lot of research, they had found that James was right in a way. Some witches and wizards could harness their magic with out the use of a wand. The harnessed magic took the form of a ball that could do some (but not fatal) damage.

Okay I've decided to speed up the time. The dueling club has been approved. It is now the middle of October and the dueling club will be starting in a quarter of an hour.

Sarina stood outside the Great Hall with Snape. She had her dueling gloves on and her sword in her belt (visibly). Snape was about to speak when someone screamed. Both Sarina and Snape burst through the door.

There in the middle of the Great Hall was a black dog. Harry was about to run to it. Something wasn't right. ~Sirius would never come into the school. He knows they would kill him. So, why is he here? ~ Sarina glanced at the dog's neck. There were flecks of green light dancing around it. She knew at that moment, something was wrong.

"Harry, Stop!"

He stopped in his tracks, and then backed up.

Sarina then spoke to the dog itself, "Show yourself."

The dog vanished, and in its place was a man. The man was not really a man at all. He was snake-like in appearance and he had pale skin. The man spoke in a silky voice that sent shivers up Sarina's spine.

" Bring me the boy. I shall spare you all if you do. But if you don't, you will all die."

Sarina said the first thing that came to mind, "No"

Everything happened in slow motion. Voldemort drew his wand swiftly. He pointed it directly at Harry and spoke the dreaded words of the Killing Curse. At that exact moment, Sarina pushed Harry roughly out of the way. The second before the spell hit the teacher, something appeared in front of her. This something was a shield of purple light. It blocked the curse and reflected in back. Voldemort stared dumbstruck at the shield for a moment and his own spell hit him.

The Dark Lord fell to the ground twitching and vanished. He would have to find another way to restore his body and conquer the wizarding world. Sarina's shield vanished and she fell to the ground with exhaustion.

Enjoy it? One chapter left. It'll be short but sweet. But if you want to hear it I have to get at least 40 reviews. I live for reviews so wrote one. I don't care if it's about my story being bad, just write one.
