Aliah Snape (BOOK 4) - Fight or Flight

Chapter 73 - Slytherin Queen

The High Priestess flew through the morning sky as the sun began to rise. She flew down into the forest and landed on a rock. She transformed back into herself and watched as Narcissa stood tall next to her husband and her sister over Tom Riddle's body. 

Tom woke up with a gasp and pushed Bellatrix to the side. The High Priestess scowled, "this is why all those who are not Naturalists must die," she thought. She watched as Voldemort ordered Narcissa to check the other boy, to see if he was alive or not. The High Priestess bent low and touch the ground, ordering it to whisper to her whether he was alive or not. She felt the magic flow through her veins. She was shocked when the earth told her he was alive when Narcissa announced he was dead.

She stayed silent as the army made its way out of the forest to the castle. She lifted her staff and hit it back on the earth before her. Many people of the army were swallowed into the earth with no one realising. She smiled to herself and returned to her raven form. "It will be better to kill everyone at once rather than a few at a time."

-------------

Death Eater's surrounded the castle as those who were in it came out wondering who did the giant hold. Narcissa murmured in Lucius's ear on the way to warn him that the Potter boy was not dead. He replied by squeezing her hand.

Narcissa watched from the corner of her eye as Bellatrix pranced around and finally finding a place on a rock on the Dark Lord's right side. She stayed silent and lifted her head when she heard a bird noise. She tugged on Lucius's sleeve to look up as well.

The black raven swirled around everyone's head. "High Priestess," he whispered. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in close. If the High Priestess was here, that meant death followed.

Narcissa watched as the castle was emptied for her son, but no blonde besides the Lovegood girl exited. She scowled at herself and hoped that what Potter had told her was true.

The Dark Lord made a quick speech and suddenly he was interrupted by purple smoke to the left of him. The High Priestess sat on a pile of rocks with her legs crossed and a staff in her left hand. Narcissa gulped at the murderous look in her eyes.

"I see you have finally had the decency to join me," The Dark Lord smiled, "with you by my side-"

"Hush Tom," the High Priestess growled

"That is not my name," Voldemort said calmly. Everyone on both sides watched as the High Priestess rose to her bare feet with only what seemed like gold twigs wrapped around her feet. She towered over everyone.

"Will you not stop this?" The High priestess asked. The other side of the war seemed to smile a little bit but Narcissa knew better. The High Priestess was worse than her master.

"I have. I have won haven't I?"

The High Priestess laughed and stamped her staff down beside her. Screams from both sides came as they were swallowed to the ground or were set on fire. A boy, Longbottom, walked to the front and made a speech about Harry and the good of evil to Voldemort and the High Priestess.

When he was done she used her magic to place the sorting hat on his head and set it on fire. Finally she set the fire aside. In a quick motion the boy in the giant's arms fell to the ground. The High Priestess pressed her staff into the rocks and made a circular motion with it. Vines sprouted from the ground and pulled people into the ground and everyone scattered into the castle. The High Priestess scowled at the Potter boy for ruining her plan to kill everyone at once. She growled and in a puff of smoke, she whisked herself away into the castle.

---------

The High Priestess followed Lucius and Narcissa as they screamed for their son. Eventually she had to let them go to complete her own agenda of killing those who possessed no Earth Magic.

She found herself in a tower, with both sides fighting each other. The High Priestess sensed no Earth Magic so she raised her palm and at once, everyone was blown over the rails. She turned around and a platinum blonde boy stood in front of her with a wand raised at her chest.

She folded her arms over chest and her staff remained standing. "What are you going to do to me boy?"

"I want Aliah back,"

"No,"

"bring her back," he snapped. She scowled at the boy and took a step closer.

"Have it your way," The High Priestess grabbed her staff but before she could do anything she howled in pain. Blood dripped from her eyes and ears. Her knees buckled beneath her and she fell to the ground.

"Leave her alone!" Draco said as he kicked the High Priestess's face to the ground.

--------

Aliah opened her eyes and saw grey one staring down at her. "You're awake,"

"Yeah. Is the war still happening?" Aliah asked. Draco gave a small nod and Aliah jumped out of his arms but he caught her before she fell.

"You are in no state to fight," Draco said

"Don't care," Aliah wiggled out of his grasp and she wobbled down the stairs. Draco held her waist to give her support.

"Fine but I'm helping,"

"My Slytherin Prince," Aliah chuckled as she kissed his cheek

"My Slytherin Queen."
