Chapter Seven
“Ella, you haven’t touched your food, are you feeling well?” Mrs. Weasley spoke, clearly concerned.
All Ella wanted was silence. She yearned for the quietness she had at spinners end.
“Yes, Actually I think I need to lie down. Thank you for everything.” Ella excused herself from the table and made her way up the stairs.
Lying in bed, she felt alone. She was grateful she had a place to stay, but she missed being able to sit in absolute silence with nothing but her thoughts keeping her company, even now she could here the clatter of the dishes and the Weasley twins laughter. Closing her eyes she wondered what Snape was doing and with who her was with. It had to be a woman, for he had slipped and said, “she would be back.” Ella uttered it out loud as if someone had told her to repeat her self.
Who? Ella kept thinking. Then she shot out of bed. “Bellatrix Lestrange.” She said allowed.
Ella was horrified to know that she had been in the same house with a known psychopath.
Shivering, Ella began to pace. Using her thumb she rubbed the emerald ring for comfort. Looking at it she smiled, she loved it, even if it was a symbol of Slytherin. Deciding to go back to bed, Ella only woke up once and that was to hear Ginny and Hermione crawling into bed.
------------------------------------------
“Ella heads up!” Ginny said.
Ducking her head, Ella was wondering what was going on “ What are you doing?”
“Cleaning, come on and help!” Hermione said yelling
“ Without Magic?” Ella said groaning. Ella stopped , she had done some magic without a wand, could that not be traced?
“Lupin, umm I don’t know how to ask this, but…” Ella grew nervous.
Lupin laughed “Spit it out, Ella.”
“Can the ministry track magic not done by a wand.”
“Why would you ask that question?”
Dang it, Ella thought.
“I know someone who can do magic without a wand and she or he is underage.”
“Ella, do you know how to do magic without a wand.”
“ Kind of.” With a crooked smile, Ella tried to read his expression
“No, they cannot trace it. Did Severus teach you how?”
“No. I kind of did it on my own.”
“Ella, believe me, magic cannot solve everything.” Walking away, Ella could tell he was concerned.
Walking into a cramped room, Ella ducked as another thing flew her way.
Closing her eyes Ella stopped the object from flying into the wall.
Smiling, at the others looks of shock. She continued to use her magic to clean.
“Ella, how did you learn to do that.” Hermione said in a shocked tone.
“I Just did.”
“Well, you better stop.” Standing up to assert herself, Hermione looked intensely at Ella.
“No.” Loosing herself to her power Ella began to smile.
With one head movement, she shut the door and began to push everything to the side.
“Ella, you’re scaring us!” Ginny said.
“It feels good, to do this.” Ella said still smiling.
Not seeing what their reactions were, Ella continued to use her magic to move stuff around.
Grabbing Ella’s shoulder, Hermione pleaded her to stop. “Ella, I am telling you to stop.” Turning to look at her friend, Ella’s eyes rolled back and everything in the room began to levitate.
“Ella.” “Ella” Her friends pleaded with her, but there was no stopping her.
Levitating with the rest of the objects, she felt herself spinning. Everything in the room began to spin around her.
Ella felt nothing nor could she hear anything that was around.
The power within her was strong and it felt like a drug pumping through her veins.
“Wake up” “Ella, wake up.”
“Jenny?” Ella said opening her eyes slightly.
“Yes.”
“What happened?”
“We don’t know, but you need to take it easy. Okay?”
Nodding, Ella drifted asleep.
---------------------------
“Why wasn’t I informed?” Ella heard the voices but exhaustion prevented her from opening her eyes.
“Severus, we thought she should rest.”
“She is my daughter!”
Ella flinched.
“Why do you care? You can’t take care of her.” Ella heard the voice of Sirius black.
“You cannot even take care of yourself! Your own wife has to flee for if anyone knew….” But he was cut off.
“Don’t you dare, you disgusting rat of a..” “Sirius, stop it. Anyone that cares for my sister, should be allowed to see her.”
“Jenny.” Sirius pleaded.
“No, Sirius.” Jenny’s voice was calming, even to Ella.
“Fine.” Sirius walked away from the room.
“ Well, I left you here one day and your already causing trouble. Snape laughed. I hope this isn’t an inclination on how this year at Hogwarts is going to go.”
Ella laughed.
“So you can hear what is going on.”
“I am so tired.” Ella whispered.
“Just rest.”
“I am sorry.”
“You’ve done nothing wrong.”
-----------------------------------
“Severus, this can be an issue.” Remus Lupin spoke softy.
“I know.”
“ I’ll watch over her these next few weeks, and make sure she doesn’t over exert herself.”
“You don’t have to.” Snape felt guilty.
“I owe you.” Lupin walked away, not waiting for Snape’s reply.
“Thanks.” Snape knew Lupin couldn’t here him, and he was glad. With one
last look at his sleeping daughter he apparated .
--------------------------------------------------------
“Well look who is down for breakfast.” An always chipper Mr. Weasley
welcomed Ella down to breakfast.
“How many days have I been up there?”
“Three, darling.”
“You’re so pale, and frail!” Ron said looking at Ella.
“Shut it.” Ella said finding a seat.
“So how are you feeling today?” Lupin who was reading the paper spoke softly.
“Better, thanks.”
“You scared us for awhile.” Molly said coming out of the kitchen.
“Where is Jenny?
“She is back at Hogsmeade.” Lupin said.
“Oh.”
Digging into her breakfast, Ella realized she hadn’t heard anything from
Hermione or Ginny.
“I am sorry to everyone, and Ginny and Hermione, I let my emotions overcome me.”
Hermione speaking for her and Ginny was quick to accept. “Apology accepted.
“Good.” Ella felt the pang of want in her side. She desperately wanted to do an actual spell. Trying to mask this pain would be the hard part.
