Chapter 8
We all laughed as we walked back to our tents. Krum had caught the snitch but the Irish won. It was an amazing game. The twins had won a bet with that Bagman. Idiot had tried to give then Leprechaun gold but I called him on it. We reached our tents and the younger Weasley and Arthur went to theirs while the three older Weasley joined us. Bill sighed, "So I told Charlie and Percy about the love and loyalty potions that Molly, Ron and Ginny have been feeding Harry and Hermione."
I gasped and ran to Percy, taking his face in my hands. "Do not confront Molly! Do you hear me? Keep it to yourself. I will handle Molly but do not let her know that you know. Promise me Percy!"
Hermione stood up, "Elsa? It will be fine."
"No! No it won't. She will curse him to forget his love for his family. He will leave and call them liars and cheats. He will choose his job at the Ministry over his family. Percy, promise me that you will not tell Molly!" I stated.
Percy eyes got wide and he nodded. "I swear on my magic that I, Percival Weasley, will not let Molly Weasley know that I know."
I sighed and sat down on the floor, head on my hands. "Thank you."
Harry knelt beside me. "Was another one of those, I can't tell you how I know, I just know things?"
"Yes." I sighed. "Sorry, I panicked. So that ruined the good mood."
Hermione laughed. "Only you Elsa." She sighed. "So what do you think will happen this year?"
Bill and Charlie tensed only slightly but Harry and I caught it. Harry smiled, "You two know, don't you?"
Charlie smirked but Bill sighed, "We can't tell you, so don't ask."
"The Tri-Wizard Tournament." I stated, everyone gasped. Charlie laughed. "What?"
"Only you Little Dragon." He shrugged, I smiled.
"Twinsies, they have an age limit. You don't make it, let it go. It isn't worth almost dying, do you hear me." I pouted. "We are Blacks, we have the name and the money. We don't need the fame."
The Twins nodded, "We promise dear sister."
"Good." I sighed. "Let's get some sleep." Arthur ran in the tent. "or not."
"There are attacks. Percy take Ginny and Ron to the trees. Twins take Harry, Hermione and Elsa. Bill and Charlie help whoever you can." Then he was gone again.
I grabbed my wand before handing Hermione my bag as we ran out. I kissed Charlie and Bill on the cheek before they left. Percy took Ginny and Ron to the left as we went right. Fred had grabbed Hermione and George had grabbed Harry, I ran behind them. I knew that this would hurt the twins but it had to be done so I slow down and turn left when they went right. I ran hard and fast, looking for Malfoy. I found him attacking some muggle born, I threw out a blocking spell and waited for him to turn. "Hello Lucius."
"Black." He growled. "You shouldn't be here, little girl."
"Neither should you but then again you always did chose the coward way out." I spat.
He froze then sneered at me. "Crucio."
I screamed as pain ran through my body then it stopped. I laughed. "Was that the best you can do? Dear old Auntie was better."
"CRUCIO!" He shouted.
I arched my body, feet almost lifting off the ground as I screamed. Then I heard it, a voice, "Reducto." There was a thump and a hand on my face. "Elsa, are you alive?"
"Dr... Dra..?" I tried to speak.
"Shh, it is okay Elsa. I will protect you." I heard him fight with his father and two other voices that had joined in. He was out numbered. He cried out and I whimpered. "Hold on Elsa."
I opened my eyes and looked at him, he was bleeding. "Kreature!" I screamed there was a pop then a loud bang. Draco knelt beside me as Kreature took care of the Death eaters. "Draco, call Dobby. He will come for you. Need Arthur."
Draco nodded. "Dobby! Please!"
Dobby appeared, "Young Malfoy what do you need?"
"Please find Arthur Weasley. We need him." Draco asked then Dobby was gone.
Kreature took out one of the death eaters as Arthur, Moody, Bill and Charlie appeared with Dobby. The Twins, Harry and Hermione where moments behind them, Lucius shot another curse at me but Draco step in front of me and took. He screamed and I cried. "Draco!"
He looked up at me, "I am okay, wasn't that strong." He covered me and kissed my forehead. "Help is here."
I heard the battle and cried. Percy had shown up and kept the young ones back from us leaving the adults to fight with Kreature. I heard Fred, "Elsa!?"
"Draco... I can't, it hurts."
He nodded down at me then looked at Fred. "She is fine, Fred. Took two bad Crucios before I got here, it hurts her to talk."
"Thank you Mal... Draco." Fred called out.
Draco nodded and looked down at me. "What happened to their hair?"
I laughed softly, "Not Weasleys. Blacks, brothers now. Magic vow."
"Wow, they don't look bad." Draco looked back at them, "Don't look bad at all."
I smirked, "George." Draco looked at me. "Fred is straight and Hermione's."
"Deal." Draco smirked as the fighting stopped and Lucius and the other two were captured and taken away. Draco sat beside me as his mother pulled him into her arms. "Mom, I had to help her."
"I know baby, I know." She kissed his cheek then turned to me. "How do you feel?"
I saw everyone walk to me but no one moved to close. "Hurt. Two Crucios, first one was weak but the second." I groaned as a shiver ran through my body. "I want daddy!" I cried, Narcissa wiped my tears away.
"We have sent for him dear, him and Ragnuk." She stated. "We must not move you right now."
I nodded, "Okay but Draco took a crucio for me too and Kreature, make sure they are..." I gripped Draco's hand as pain shot through me and cut off my words.
Draco moved to me. "Elsa, I am okay. Father used them all the time on me. Kreature is fine as well." Draco moved the hair off my face. "You have focus on yourself now. Your brothers are really worried about you, so am I."
I nodded as I heard my name. "Elsa!" It was Sirius.
"Daddy!" I cried as he came to kneel next to me with Remus and Amelia behind him. "It hurts daddy but Draco helped me. He protected me."
Sirius looked Draco, reached over me to hug him before looking back at me. "Ragnuk went to grab the Healer then they will be here."
"We are here, Mr. Black." Ragnuk came into view with Binger. "Hello Elsa."
"Hey." I whispered.
Binger moved Draco slowly, knelt down beside me and reached for my stomach. He closed his eyes and moved his hand over me, he smiled softly and he opened them. "You are fine Elsa. You will be sore for a day or two but you will fine. You must not stress yourself, do you hear me?"
I nodded, "Yes, thank you."
Binger and Ragnuk helped me sit up then Sirius helped me stand. I smiled but stumbled when Sirius let me go, Charlie and Bill caught me against their chests. "Careful, there Little Dragon." Charlie whispered.
I smiled up at him, "Charlie, Bill, I am glad that you are okay."
"Not as glad as I am that you are." Bill smiled at me. He steadied me and stepped back but kept one hand on my waist.
Sirius looked at the hands then to Bill and Charlie, "Not sure how to take this."
I giggled, "Shut up dad." I rolled my eyes and he laughed. "Let's go home."
Everyone nodded, Kreature stood beside me and snapped his fingers. He popped all of us to the Manor, all but Alastor and Arthur. They were talking to some other people. Kreature went to make food as Charlie sat me on the couch and Fred and George surrounded me. Fred kissed my cheek. "You were gone; we couldn't find you. Scared us so bad."
"Never again, never." George kissed my forehead.
I nodded, "Never. Stay safe and sound. No crazy, no danger."
No one mention Draco or Narcissa as we ate, settled in the main room after Kreature vanished the furniture and made the floor blankets and pillows. We all fell asleep together, unsure how to handle what happened. Arthur, Ron and Ginny had gone home to Molly, who tried to send the twins a howler but Kreature exploded it before it opened.
