"Avada Kadavra!"
The voice rang through the air, and the green light surged towards Alice. She gulped and held her wand up. "Protego Malignum Morte Harmonia!" she yelled out, her voice cracking slightly. She leveled her wand with the green light, her hand shaking slightly, but she held the wand firm. Tristain's heart raced as he stared, not knowing what to do.
And then the green light engulfed the wand, and Alice hurled the wand away from her, as far as she could. The wand exploded in a flash of green light, the ashes falling to the ground slowly. Alice stared at her wand, her mouth open slightly. She could hear her pulse pound in her ear.
"What the hell was that?" Tristain finally asked her. "How did you do that?"
She took a deep breath and looked around. "Yeah, um… my wand's got a hummingbird's hair for a core and holly for the wood, so… it's really pure and protective. Ollivander himself told me about that spell when I first got the wand. Told me I would be one of the only ones to be able to use it. I never tried it before, but… I'm happy it works. It just sucks that I don't have a wand now."
"That's fine," Tristain said, turning to the forest. "I'll protect you now. I'm getting you out of here, I promise."
