Chapter Twenty-Two: Just Like Dad
" Ella, no!".
The young girl had appeared between her parents and Lord Voldemort. She didn't look scared, but determined to be there.
" Did you know she could Apparate?" Hermione gasped.
Harry shook his head. He was about to grab her, but the wand was pointed at him.
" Stay where you are" he demanded.
In a line stood Harry, Ella, and Voldemort. Ella's back was to her father, she was concentrating on the demon in front of her. They moved clockwise, the counter clockwise. Harry was ready to jump at any given moment.
" I may not be good with children" Voldemort grinned in Harry's direction, " but with such a weapon, it should make a difference". Harry knew he meant the want, and he knew he most likely wasn't bluffing. " After all, I have the wand".
Ella's voice nearly startled, not as much as what she was about to say. " So do I" her voice still slurred.
Hermione went into shock after hearing her daughter's words. Harry eyed the back of her head. " Ella, this is no time for games".
Ella turned around, with a somewhat serious glare, " no daddy, I really do" she revealed a gold strip, identical to the one Voldemort was holding. He knew it was impossible for there to be two.
Voldemort made it look as though he only cared about the girl. " Tremendous!" he caught Harry off guard, and it was to late to fight the force that threw him against the wall. Holding him tightly against the brick, Hermione looked as though she also couldn't move. There was only Ella and Voldemort at the center of the dungeon. Olivia and Adrianna were hidden in the shadows at the other side.
The poor girls. Here she is, four-years-old, facing the wizard worlds most feared sorcerer. She had the same one, though there was only suppose to be one, she had another. The wand was an extreme power.
Suddenly, Ella panicked, and let the gold fall to the floor. Now, she was unarmed, and in great danger. Harry couldn't as much as try to move, only watch.
" Ella, get back!" Hermione screamed.
But she didn't move, frozen in fear.
Adrianna emerged from the shadows where she hid. Her father didn't notice her cautious sprinting across the dungeon. Olivia had tried to stop her, but her sister was too quick. She stood in front of Harry against the wall, checking over her shoulder before taking her wand.
" Remento" she whispered.
The invisible hold released Harry and fell from the elevation he was at. The same second he ran to his daughter so fast, it was a blur.
Harry didn't hear what Voldemort said as he tackled Ella. Grabbing the want, he held it as high as he could from his difficult position laying on the ground.
There was a cruse, the single destructive curse even compared to the death curse Mad Eye Moody once taught. Harry hesitated even Hogwarts graduates being told. Anyone with open eyes at the time the curse is said, is guaranteed a replacement of some kind. It had no guarantee of working, there was no record of anyone trying it. Maybe it was a myth, thus Harry would be taking a shot in the dark.
" Paragon darkon!" Harry yelled.
The flash hit automatically. Harry clasped his hand over Ella's eyes, tightly shutting his own. Hermione did the same, reaching Adrianna on time. Ron had the luck of still being unconscious.
Just like that, it was over.
" Harry" Hermione was kneeling next to him, he could feel her hand on his shoulder.
He slowly sat up, still holding Ella, both their hairstyles wind swept (not like Harry's ever looked any better). At least they were unharmed. Ron was still there, out cold, besides that, they were the only ones. Adrianna was standing being Hermione.
Voldemort and his evil bound daughter were gone, and that's all they knew.
" Think he'll come back?" Hermione asked, looking to where he was only a minute ago.
" Nah" Harry joked, " once you've been beaten twice by a kid under the age of five, you're too embarrassed to make another comeback".
She laughed, " I hope you're right" she muttered. Noticing Ella, she hadn't moved, still holding on to Harry. Hermione swept her hair. " It's alright sweetie, he's gone". Hermione gasped, getting Harry's attention.
Ella lifted her head, looking up at her father. Harry gaped as Hermione began to laugh.
The fresh wound imprinted on the right side of Ella's forehead resembled that, of a lighting bolt.
A/N: The next chapter will explain how Ella got the wand, and the background Adrianna came from.
