Heartless Love

Chapter 31

Months had passed since then. She hadn't heard from her father nor her lover. She spent most of her days in the portrait room learning more about herself and her abilities... Then Dobby apparated in.

"Dobby?" The girl all but squealed.

"Mistress Elara! It is so good to see you! But in such horrid terms." The little creature replied.

"Horrid terms? Dobby what has happened?" She asked slowly.

"Harry Potter and his friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are being held prisoner at Malfoy Manor." The Elf said quickly. Elara's bright eye's widened. "Dobby needs Mistress Elara's help to save Harry Potter."

"Of course Dobby." Elara said immediately. Dobby then walked up to Elara and gazed at her admiringly.

"The young Malfoy heir is a lucky man, Mistress."

"And I'm a lucky girl," She said smiling a small smile as the little elf, "no one has made me as happy as he does. Now lets go Dobby before Harry does anything... Harry-ish." Elara said as she and Dobby apparated.

The Manor was Dark and Cold. Dobby has gone down to the cellar as Elara stood atop the chandelier in the drawing room. She could hear Hermione's screams from below. When she saw Bellatrix distances herself, even so slightly from Hermione, she made her move.

"Wingardium Leviosa." The girl whispered moving her friends limp body out from beneath the chandelier she stood upon. Then she whispered "Flagrate".

"I've seen your sin's Bellatrix Lestrange, I've felt pain because of you...

And you shall pay!" The words appeared in fire before the insane woman. For a second, and a second only did Bellatrix show fear.

"Reducto!" A strong feminine voice yelled as the beautiful chandelier came plummeting down, Elara falling with it, landing in a knelling position. Alas Bellatrix got out of the way before she was injured, wand drawn.

"You could have killed me!" She yelled!

"Those we're my intentions." Elara said calmly, as she stood.

"You! Daughter of The Heartless, Emily Dumbledore!" Bellatrix yelled once again.

Elara's eye's narrowed. "Don't speak her name," Elara hissed, "You aren't worthy to speak of my mother." The young witch raised her wand at her mother's murder.

"Elara no!" She heard the voice of the only person who kept her sane.

"Draco?" She said as she swiftly turned her head, wand still held defensively at Bellatrix.

"She isn't worth it. Don't put her blood onto your hands. You know that none of them want that." Draco said meeting eyes with his lover. And she knew exactly what he meant. Her father, mother, grandfather. None of them would want her to have Bellatrix's blood on her hands.

"Your right. Per usual." And in that moment, Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter appeared in the drawing room with Dobby at their side.

"Kill them!" Bellatrix Screeched!

"Dobby go!" Elara ordered.

"No, Dobby must help save Harry Potter and His friends!" The elf argued.

"Dobby you've helped enough," Harry added, "Go check on the others." and with that the house elf apperated.

It wasn't but mere seconds that Elara, Harry, and Ron all circled around Hermione's body and fought off the surrounding death eaters, (minus Draco, Lucius, and Nacrissa)

"Draco get their wands!" His aunt hissed. And his eyes met Elara's.

"Go." He mouthed. She nodded as he took slow steps towards her and the two wizards by his side.

"Faster you useless boy!"

Elara dropped to the ground, picking Hermione up and putting her onto Ron's back, quickly as she held onto her two friends.

"Draco," She said as he still made his way across the room, making their eyes meet again, "I love you." And he smiled, the smile only she ever saw. And then she began their apparation.

"You insolent boy!" She said, as she threw the knife she'd just used to carve into Hermione's arm at the apparating group. It was aimed at Ron's heart, but with a quick movement Elara threw herself in front if the red head.

"No!" Draco screamed as Bellatrix cackled in delight they disappeared from sight. "How dare you!" Draco screamed as he pulled his wand out at his aunt.

"How dare I? How dare I?" Her voice yelled. "You're the one that was dating the person without a heart! She can't even love you!" She screeched.

Draco went to take a step forward when pain shot through his body. The unbreakable curse! He had fail as what he promised to do. The sound of his bones cracking filled the air. Nothing really breaking, but it just sounded and felt like it. His wand feel on the floor, things seemed to go in slow motion. Nacrissa looked shocked, her heart breaking.

"Draco!" Nacrissa screamed, tears already streaming down her face.

"Elara." He whispered, tears ran down his face.

He had let her down, and he knew it. They were nothing going to die, he knew it. But, they would be together.

"Draco! Draco, love, hold on." Nacrissa said as she tried to help her son. "This is your fault Bellatrix! My son could die because of you! You couldn't let him be happy! Could you? They took the unbreakable vow, and you caused him to break it!" She yelled, her heart broken.

"I was going for the Weasley, how in Merlin's beard was I supposed to know she was going to jump in front of it." Bellatrix was anger, her nephew was a trader in her eyes.

"Did you use a muggle blade?" Nacrissa looked up from her son's slowly folding body and at her sister.
