"I'm sorry Donovan." Kat replied softly as they stopped near the ceiling.

Raising her right hand she sent him flying across the room before she began to fall. She closed her eyes and waited for the ground to hit her. She had used too much energy to send him flying across the room. She didn't have enough to stop herself, one of the problems with a fairy betrothal, he could control half her magic, and keep it from her.

She opened her eyes in shock when she felt someone's arms around her, and looked up into a familiar pair of eyes.

"Draco?" she asked in surprise, wondering why he had helped her.

"Are you all right?" he asked softly as he set her down on her feet.

"I suppose so." She replied looking at her left wrist were five bruises were already forming.

"He's the man you left me for?" he asked looking over at Donovan, who was in the process of standing up. "How can you love him?"

"I don't, not in the way you are thinking. But he will kill you if he knew." She replied as she stepped away before Donovan looked over at her.

"How did you do that?" Donovan growled, "You'll pay for that my dear."

"Looks like our betrothal will be in void as you thought it was." He continued raising his hand. "Except I'll be the one who gets to remarry."

"Avada Kedavra Mediocris."

Kat looked on in horror as the bright green light shot towards Donovan and he fell to the floor in a heap.

"Well, that's the end of the fairies." Voldemort said with a smirk. "On to the wizarding world."

Kat looked around the room at the bodies of the people who had been such a part of her life. Closing her eyes she took the bracelet of her wrist and held it up in the air. She let go and opened her eyes to see it floating for a second, then it disappeared. Looking around she saw the fairies disappear as well.

"Oh look, the last of the fairies have gone on to their afterlife." Voldemort said with a smile that quite literally gave her chills.

"Why in Merlin's name do you look like your younger self if you hate to be called Riddle?" She asked with a smirk.

"I think you are starting to act more like your father more and more."

"Do you have any idea what you have done Riddle. You didn't kill the last of the fairies, you killed the elemental fairies."

"Really, what's the difference?" he asked not really caring.

"You fool, the Elemental Fairies are the fairies who control every aspect of the universe. Did you ever wonder why certain animals and plants are extinct? Because the wonderful founders of Hogwarts nearly wiped out the Elemental Fairies once." She paused, trying to get the bitterness out of her tone.

She stopped herself mid-thought, why the hell did she care if they heard her anger and bitterness towards the founders of Hogwarts, if they were there now she'd make them go through what the clan had gone through as another member of the family died.

"And when the new generation was born, there weren't enough fairies to take care of everything."

"So what you are saying is that now the world will cease to exist because I killed a few stupid fairies, like I didn't know that already." He replied rolling his eyes.

"I'm trying to be the most powerful wizard in the universe, don't you think I took the time to learn all about that. And instead of the world being destroyed I'm simply going to put the fairy magic in me."

Kat looked at him in shock. "You can't, you don't have any fairy blood in you."

"Not yet, but I know where your foolish clan buries the fairies, and I'm going to use their blood to make the potion."

Kat looked at him, her amethyst eyes blazing. She turned to her father slowly, "Forgive me Papa." She said softly.

"Do what you must Kitten, you'll always be my daughter, but you are your mother's daughter first." Severus replied softly, knowing that the day he dreaded was here at last. He was losing his little girl, forever.

"What are you two babbling about." Voldemort asked as he walked towards them.

"You say you did your homework on the Elemental Fairies Riddle." She replied turning towards him, ignoring everyone else in the room and focusing only on the evil in front of her.

"Yes, so." He replied in boredom. The girl was a nut, but her powers would be worth it.

"Then you know who Aileen was."

"The queen of the elemental fairies and one of the only six survivors of the original battle against the founders of Hogwarts. Once again, so?" he replied, starting to get annoyed.

"Did you know she had a daughter with a mortal."

"You have lost it. Why would a fairy mate with a mortal?"

"Well Lucius, maybe because her husband had died. Or maybe because she fell in love." She replied knowing the last answer was the true reason.

"Whether you believe me or not, it doesn't change the past, and the fact that Aileen had a daughter who was half fairy, half-mortal. Or that her daughter married a wizard."

"How do you know all this"

"Easy Riddle, as you so nicely pointed out, I'm from the Mediocris Clan, whose sworn duty in life was to protect the Elementals." She replied rolling her eyes at his stupidity.

"Can you guess what Aileen named her daughter? Wait, don't, let me tell you." She said quickly before he could answer, smiling with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"She named her daughter a name she had always loved, Gwendolyn. Another thing you don't know, Gwendolyn had a daughter, who was raised as a witch."

"How do you know that girl?" Lucius asked sneering, "You're probably making all this up to distract us."

Only those closest to her heard her saying the spell. Draco heard her the clearest and watched her trying to figure out what was going on.

"I can tell you how she knows about Gwendolyn." Severus said walking around the table, giving her time to finish the spell he knew she had to finish before she could fight.

"Because I have met Gwendolyn, I was there the day she died. When she sent our daughter to be raised as one of my kind."

"You're joking Severus." Lucius replied in shock.

"Your daughter can't be Aileen's granddaughter." Voldemort continued, then turned away as a bright white light filled the room, blinding everyone.

"Let me assure you Riddle. I am most definitely Aileen's granddaughter."

Everyone looked in shock at where Kat had been standing, but now she was floating with a paid of amethyst wings.

"It's impossible. The only other fairy was a legend. Princess Delwyn was a legend. You're name is Ekaterina Snape." Voldemort said in shock.

"Actually, my full name is Ekaterina Delwyn Granger Snape. And believe me, I'm no legend." She replied with a smirk.

"You are the fool Riddle. Until now we have stayed out of the fight. It wasn't the fight of the Fairy, but instead of the mortals and wizards. The fairies didn't trust you wizards after Slytherin convinced the other founders to destroy us. All we wanted was to live. For the sake of the world we swore to protect. " She trailed off, looking towards the ground, sadness in her voice; then she snapped her head back to Riddle, her eyes blazing with anger.

"But now, I don't have to answer to the members of the circle, you took care of that for me. This ends tonight, for the sake of both our worlds. I only hope that the mortals are ready to deal with the responsibility of protecting the universe, as we no longer can."

Kat closed her eyes and raised her arms, her palms out facing the side walls.

Every one of the students and staff felt a wave of something pass over them, a warmth like they were sitting in front of a fire.

"Kill them." Voldemort told his followers, and then stared in shock as ever spell they threw at the students was stopped, bouncing off an invisible wall.

"Don't be a fool Riddle, do you honestly think I would leave them at your mercy." Kat asked drawing his attention once more.

Bringing her hands together as if in prayer she closed her eyes and began to chant.

Mediocris of vita , audite meus placitum. Tribuo mihi virga facio res vox , quod vox ut terminus is is nox noctis. Refero meus votum , recolligo volo.

Eternus Mediocris , EGO sum unus of thee. permaneo nostri pius , immortalis quod solvo. Somnium somnium nos totus partis , Suo una ut obviam is quisnam praesumo.

unus quisnam praesumo compleo pugna , Coepi per Hogwarts quattuor. Terminus pugna coepi per quattuor , Succurro subsisto unus quisnam propinquus ianua.

Members of orbis , EGO dico in thee. Locus in mihi vox nostri mens , Planto mihi verus permaneo nostri pius. Una nos mos terminus suum dominatus.
Opening her eyes she looked at him as a pure white aura began to radiate from her. Taking her left hand she clutched the chain around her neck, her right hand she stretched out in front of her pointing her open hand at Voldemort.
Audite meus vox vocis Riddle , audio mihi. eternus ones have exspecto diutius. Fio quis vos erant pro is nox noctis , Ultionis est nostri , facio vos quis nos vires.

Subsisto is cruciatus creatura of atrum. Terminus poena quod vos have causa. Fio quis vos erant pro is os , Pro suum cruor gave vos is vita.

Terminus is vallum creatura of nox noctis ; Permissum lemma ago , intus lux lucis. Sentio occupo vultus inter vos iam , Irretitus vos in eternus pugna.

As she had spoken her aura had grown and as she finished the spell it completely encompassed him and he disappeared. Moments later all of his followers collapsed on the ground.

"Ekaterina!"

Everyone turned back to look at Kat, her aura was quickly flowing back to her. When it reached her she fell to the floor, her wings disappearing.

"Katia!" Draco cried kneeling next to her.

"Draco?" she asked opening her eyes slowly.

"I'm here." He replied softly.

"I'm sorry." She replied softly, but still the room heard her as it was deadly quiet, so much so you could hear a pin drop.

"For what?" he asked softly.

"For lying all this time. I love you Draco Malfoy, I always will."

"I love you too." He whispered as she closed her eyes. When the light surrounded her he refused to look away as she disappeared. "Goodbye my love." He whispered before standing up as the death eaters began to rise to their feet.

Everyone felt the spell she had placed on them fade away, and turned to the sixty-five death eaters, wondering what was going to happen.

Lucius raised his wand as he realized his master was gone once more. They would take as many with them as they could before they fell.

Draco pulled his wand out, and was quickly joined by Snape, the other teachers, and Katia's friends. They would not let them win, not after everything Katia had sacrificed.
