I Am Lacerta Chapter 51

As Aoife and I ran, Lara and Emmeline were hot on our tail firing curse after curse at us. I deflected them with ease, occasionally deflecting one or two for Aoife when she got accidentally disttacted, her doing the same to me. 

We kept this up through the eerily quiet streets of Diagon Alley, and neither Aoife nor I had a scratch on our bodies, although Emmeline had managed to hit her with some sort of silencing charm I didn't know the counter-curse to. I'd gotten a very good hit on Emmeline, and Aoife had hit Emmeline hard many times, resulting in a shrill shriek of annoyance from Lara. 

I managed to catch Aoife's eye and signalled that we should meet me off to the right. I nodded and ran towards Aoife who was also heading down a left-ways side street, grabbed her arm as she apparated us off to an alley to the right of Diagon Alley. 

When we arrived with a crack, which I managed to silence to some extent, I gave Aoife a very business-like look and said:

"Aoife, you go back to the Manor, quickly - bring as many death eaters as you can, and tell the Dark Lord, don't forget to bow. I'll stay here and hold up the fort while you're gone. Be back as quickly as you can, 'k?" she nodded solemnly and was just about to apparate, when I grabbed her arm and looked her straight in the eye.

"Remember Aoife - if you fall I ent going to stop and pick you up, capiché?" I asked. She gulped and nodded weakly. "Good. Go, quickly before they catch on to what we're doing." she nodded and apparated away quickly - the loud crack echoing off the buildings too fast for me to silence it.

"Shit." I winced as I realised they might of heard the crack and braced myself for an attack, but none came. So I ran back towards the main street and heard their voices discussing things quietly.

"Trust me, Emmeline - Lacerta Lestrange isn't your normal thirteen year-old. She killed my sister, and Kitty was half way through Auror training and top of her year in her time at Hogwarts. She'd give Aurora a run for her money when she was that age..." Lara said coldly.

"Aurora?" Emmeline asked curiously.

"She's the youngest of the three of us... in her last year of Hogwarts at the moment. It's funny, we were all in different houses - I was a Gryffindor, Kitty was in Hufflepuff and Aurora is a Ravenclaw..." Lara said sadly.

"That's.. lovely Aoife, but I'm thinking maybe we should concentrate on the problem at hand?" Emmeline said and I had to stifle my laugh at her sharp tone.

"Right.. sorry. I just want to know who she's with..." Lara sighed angrily.

"Oh that's easy - she's with Aoife O'Hara, I'd recognise her anywhere. I'm honestly surprised to see her here though - her and Tonks used to be attached at the hip, you'd never see one without the other. While Tonks was in Auror training, Aoife was in Healer training and they both qualified about the same time.

"They used to share an appartment, but about two months ago, Aoife left to protect her muggle family - she's a muggle born, you see. The thing is - Tonks dropped by to check on her this morning and found a house full of dead muggles, Aoife's family, but no Aoife. She was dead worried - she told me about it earlier when she got back." 

"Well, we know where Aoife went now..." Lara murmured.

A silence followed, which I could only guess meant they were both thinking about their next move.

"Okay, change of plan. If I know Lacerta Lestrange, she'll want to be the big hero so there's no way she'll be apparating away. I don't know about this O'Hara chick though, but I reckon Lacerta out-ranks her, as she only joined the Death Eater's ranks yesterday. If anyone's been sent for back-up, it's Aoife. Em, go back to HQ and get backup, 'k? Bring Lupin, Kingsley, Mad Eye if you can, and you'd best bring Tonks too."

"What about Sirus?" Emmeline asked.

"He has to stay in the house you know the rules." 

"But I feel really bad, he hates in there."

"No, Em - he can't leave." Lara said firmly.

"Fine - just allow me to have pity on him will you? He's been my mate since school..."

"Oh, well that's all very interesting, Em, but-"

"Oh, so it's alright for you to blab on about your sisters but it's not alright to talk about Sirius, I see..."

"Sorry, Em. Got a bit ahead of myself there.."

"Damn right you did. Anyway, why can't I stay - I "outrank you" as you so apt-ly put it." she said jokingly.

"Lacerta's mine. Low sisters tradition - avenge eachothers deaths..." she said gravely. I heard a loud crack as Emmeline apparated away and Lara winced at the noise, just like I had.

I stepped out of the shadows, and said:

"I didn't know you had two sisters - Lara, Kitty, Aurora. How sweet." I mocked childishly.

She whipped around and cursed me, but I saw it coming and deflected it with ease.

"I'm not stupid, Lara. And I don't forget - and you and your sister injured me bad... have you seen my legs? You were just telling Emmeline about revenge - get ready to feel the fury of mine, bitch!" I spat and she hissed....

so sorry i have to end it here will continue it asap :) enjoy though anyhoo xxx
