Heart Scars

Thirty Six

Adhara rolled to the side to avoid the stream of green light. Bellatrix let out a high pitched laugh.

"You can't run forever, little girl!"

Adhara was sure that they didn't know it was her. The death eaters would not be attacking the dark lords right hand, knowing they would be punished. He'd kill them if something bad happened to her.

"Stupefy!" She yells. The spell hits a man in the chest, but he doesn't falter. Only a giant or a werewolf could take a stunner and stay up.

Greyback.

"Crucio." This spell drops him, and he lets out a howl of agony. Adhara lets out a grunt as someone sends a slicing jinx into her arm. She turns on her heel and blasts him backwards.

"Yes! It's the ones with fire that I enjoy killing!" Bellatrix shrieks as she sends a killing curse at Adhara. Maybe she should have bolted when she had the chance. But someone had to protect Hogsmeade.

The cruciatus curse hits her from the side, and she drops. She lets out an agonized scream and begins writhing on the ground. They would kill her. She realizes this as Greyback inches closer. They would kill her without knowing it was her, and she'd never see Remus again.

"Expelliarmus." Someone ran past her. A familiar voice. The pain stopped.

"Ara? Ara you have to get up. Darling, can you hear me?" Remus. His hands were pulling her up, his voice was in her ear. He had come for her. Remus would always come for her.

"James-"

"He came and got us." Remus points at a figure who was dueling Greyback. Sirius was by his side, laughing as he sent stunners at Bellatrix. Lily was there, holding off Rodolphus. Two girls that Adhara recognized as Mary and Marlene stood by her side.

"Protego!" Adhara shouts as a stunner is sent at Remus's unprotected back. She hurriedly stands and pulls him with her.

"You shouldn't be here!" She snaps, "stupefy!"

"You expected me to sit and do nothing? Confringo!" Remus yells.

"I can take care of myself."

"Can you two settle this later?" Sirius huffs as he ducks a killing curse. Adhara rushes to his side, careful to keep her hood up.

"Ickle baby Sirius. Was always mummys favorite, I wonder how she'll react when she finds out I was the one to kill you. Avada Kedavra." Adhara knocks Sirius's feet out from under him, dropping them both to the ground.

Adhara pulls Sirius to his feet and quickly summons a barrel to block them from the fray. Bellatrix was inching closer, wanting to kill her cousin and the hooded witch.

"We have to get rid of them before they see me. They'll blow my cover." She mutters to Sirius.

"It's her! The Dark Lord's girl!" A death eater shouts, and the death eaters turn to look at Adhara, whose hood had blown down.

"Well, I'll have to take out two blood traitors now. Your poor mother will just die, two sympathizers!" Bellatrix cackles. She sends a spell at the barrel, but it bounces off Sirius's protection charm.

"I knew it, Adhara. You just couldn't let go of Sirius. I told Aunt and Uncle he would be your demise. What will the dark lord say? He thought you were worthy, his right hand, his most trusted confident. I was pushed to the side, overshadowed by you. I'll be rewarded when he finds I killed the traitor."

"We can't hold them much longer. We have to kill them. They'll give me away, Sirius." She huffs as she shoots a killing curse. Sirius grabs her wrist.

"We don't kill!"
