//I know I haven't been on a whole lot. I am getting ready to start at college and I was working a job on top of being out of state for two weeks. I've been getting on when I can. And I totally agree! We must reach this story's end, wherever it may go!
///And thank! And I would love to read some of yours!
Dumbledore was quiet for several long minutes. He barely seemed aware of the commotion of the aurors, some seeing to Potter and Black, others investigating the woods. He suddenly sighed heavily. "Now is not the time. Take the girl back to the castle and make sure she is alright. I will see to things here,"he responded dully. For once, Dumbledore seemed drained.
Ella was like ice to the touch. Any warmth her frail body produced was zapped away from her. She wrapped her arms tightly around herself, trying in vain to warm herself. Her clothing clung to her, acting as a force to drain her of her life. She began swaying, unable to fully support herself. She suddenly looked up at Severus, eyes dulling.
"I saw Mom,"She whispered to him, pale lips barely moving. "I saw Sage. She was scared...And she was hurting," The words rushed out of her mouth before she could stop them. She hated herself for it. Severus did not need such pain. He didn't need such knowledge. But to keep it locked inside was to die. She was beginning to think she would anyway. Lowering her gaze back to the ground, she was ready to give in to the intruding darkness. Only Snape's grip on her shoulder kept her from surrounding. She wasn't sure she could fight it much longer.
"Take Black to the tower and lock him in there. We will send a medic to tend to him later," one of the lead aurors barked to the others. They jumped to obey him, eager to get out of the cold. None of them took notice of Ellie's tiny whimper. It was too faint to be heard. She forced herself to raise her head once last time, watching as they dragged Black away. Potter was already gone.
