"WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!"
Scorpius pulled the pillow out from under his head and covered his face with it to drown out Harper's yelling as she entered his bedroom and threw open the curtains.
"GET OUT!" he muffled out loudly through the pillow.
"Aww, now, now my son, that's no way to greet your little sister in the morning. She's only trying to give you a proper birthday wake up." Draco said with amusement as he leaned against the door frame.
"Dad, it's my birthday, can't I sleep until whenever I please?" he snapped, peeking out from under the pillow.
"No, now get up."
"Yeah, get up, you bum," Harper said, taking a throw pillow from the armchair and tossing it at him.
The pillow landed right between his legs and he jolted up and released a growl of pain as he grabbed his crotch. "WHAT THE FUCK?" he yelled as he leaned over the bed in pain.
Draco and Harper were cracking up and laughed even louder when Scorpius fell off the bed.
"Well, he's up now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON! BREAKFAST IN TEN!" Draco called over his shoulder, still laughing at his son's expense.
Ellie made her way downstairs for breakfast, her concealment charms in place. She looked at her hair and sighed when she saw a few black strands had formed throughout it. She quietly made her way to the table and tried to slip in unnoticed as the usual chaotic conversation took place in the dining room.
"Good morning, sweetheart," Ginny called down to her as she fought with Ava to wipe her face clean.
She tried to respond, but the shooting pain in her head made her hands latch onto her seat tightly to stop herself from screaming. She felt her cheeks flush as a wave of heat took over her body. She let out a shaky breath as she desperately begged her body to hold it together until tomorrow.
"You ok?" she heard Scorpius whisper to her from the chair beside her.
She turned to look at him, she could hear him, but it was as if her mind refused to take in what he was asking.
"Ellie?"
She went to get up to excuse herself before the pain got any worse. Before she could take a step, she saw the room start to spin and the last thing she remembered was falling to the floor.
When Ellie opened her eyes again, she saw she was in her bed and there was someone sitting beside her. Her body was on fire but she was grateful that the pain seemed to subside a bit.
"Your fever is pretty high, you seem to be getting worse." she heard her mother say.
She looked at her mum's face; she looked like she might have been crying.
"You scared us," Ginny softly said, as she cupped the side of Ellie's flushed cheek.
"I'm sorry, Mum; I just haven't been resting as I should."
"Maybe we should call off the party-"
"NO! Mum, please don't. Everyone is looking so forward to it, even me. I will rest for the day and most of the evening and just pop in for a little bit later. After that, I'll have plenty of time to get better. I've been sick before you know." she said, trying to convince her mother that she was perfectly fine.
"Yes, but you've never passed out before from a fever," she said with a smirk as she placed a kiss on her forehead. "I can't believe how you're burning up." she gave her a sympathetic look.
Ellie reached forward and took the potion off the nightstand. "Fever reducer?" she asked her mum.
Ginny nodded before Ellie drank it and then lay back on her pillow. Soon all her sisters and brother came into her bedroom, Harper jumping on the bed beside her.
"How are you feeling?" Draco asked, handing her a glass of water.
She nodded. "Better."
She took a sip of the water and noticed her concealment charms were starting to fail as she looked at the veins in her forearm turning darker.
"I'm really tired, so I think I'm just going to rest," she quickly said as she put the glass down and pulled the covers up over her.
"Glad you're ok, I tried to catch you, but I was knee deep in waffles before I noticed you falling," Scorpius smirked.
She gave a small laugh before they all cleared out of the room and she was left with just her parents looking at her.
"Ellie, are you sure you're alright?" Draco asked her.
"I promise, I am, I don't want you guys to read too much into this, people get sick. I'm fine; I'll be back to normal before you know it."
"Well, either way, you're going straight to the doctor in the morning," Ginny ordered before she gave her a quick hug then she headed out of the bedroom. Draco just looked down at her and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear before he gave her a small smile.
"Get some rest, we'll check on you in a little bit," he said before he left her bedroom.
Ellie waited to make sure everyone was gone from the front of her door before she grabbed her wand and put her concealment charms back on. She was worried at how fast they failed her and made sure to put up a little more of an advanced one on herself. She could feel the pressure in her head starting to come back and decided to try and fit in whatever sleep she could manage before the pain became too unbearable once more.
"Dad, please don't push yourself tonight, if you need to lie down there is plenty of rooms to go rest in," Ginny told her father as she led the way to the ballroom.
"Don't worry about me Ginbug, I came to party it up with these two," he said, pointing to Ember and Scorpius as they walked up to him and gave their grandparents a hug hello.
The music grew louder as they approached the room and Arthur went right to the dance floor with his cane in hand to dance with Harper and Riley. Ginny just shook her head in amusement before she looked at her mum.
"He's really trying to ignore the fact that he is a very sick man," Molly said as she watched her husband laughing with the girls. Ginny gave her a hug before she turned to the twins.
"Well, get in there guys, go crazy," she laughed, waving her hands at them to go ahead. "AND PACE YOUR DRINKING!" she yelled after them as they made their way into the blaring music.
"Oh just let them have some fun," Molly said, waving her hand. "Don't you remember Ron and Hermione's wedding night? The mess I had the morning after, now you can experience it," she said with a small laugh.
"Oh, I remember." Ginny giggled.
"Remember what?" Draco asked, walking up to them.
"Oh, you know, the night you gave me the nickname Gincy," she teased him.
"I think I like Gincy better than Ginny." he laughed as she swung her hand at him to slap him.
The doorbell rang and Draco walked over to answer it while Ginny waited for him.
"Good Evening Mr. Malfoy," Raven said with a small smile. She felt a bit awkward because she knew they were aware of her situation with Scorpius, plus the fact that her father tried to hex him into oblivion.
"Raven, good to see you again, come on in, everyone's in the ballroom," he said, gesturing down the hall where Ginny waved hello to her.
Draco went to close the door when Blaise came walking up after Raven.
"Well, this is surprising, I don't recall inviting you," Draco said with a smirk.
"My daughter being here is my invite. Your son invited me."
Draco looked at Ginny, who approached the front door when she saw Blaise walk up.
"And you gladly accepted?" Ginny said with a small laugh.
"No, he was kidding, so I came anyway to keep an eye on my daughter," he said. "Unless you'd like to throw another spell at me?" he sarcastically suggested to Ginny.
She folded her arms and gave him a hard stare. "If you're waiting for an apology that's not going to happen. You stormed into my house trying to hurt my son, you deserved it. However, on behalf of our son we are sorry that things went the way they did between them. I understand that Scorpius has apologized to Raven and they've decided to stay friends. So if you have an issue with that then you can take your arse home." she said calmly but her tone firm.
Blaise just looked at her, a small smirk forming on his lips. He looked at Ginny and then at Draco; seeing the two of them together as a married couple was something he never thought he'd see. He could see himself with Ginny before he would ever see Draco with her.
"I suppose we will see how things go. Believe me, I am only here for my daughter."
Ginny and Draco moved aside to let him pass and watched as he made his way into the ballroom after Raven. Ginny went to walk away when Draco grabbed her back to him and turned her to face him.
"You're so fuckin hot when you put your foot down," he said, pulling her into a long passionate kiss.
She smiled against his lips before she wrapped her arms around his neck. "I bet you think Gincy is even hotter."
They both laughed before she met his lips once more.
"Ember?"
She turned around and was surprised to see Jacob standing there. "Jacob, what are you doing here?" she asked, a bright smile spreading across her face.
"Your brother invited me, is that alright because I can leave-"
"No, no, it's quite alright, I'm glad you came," she said, staring at him.
"You are?" he asked.
"Uh, I just meant, it's only right, you did offer him a job after all." she quickly explained.
"Well, I offered you a job and then you offered it to him. It was a nice gesture, you both must be close."
"Well, we're twins, so I constantly feel this need to protect him and vice versa...damn prat," she smirked, looking at her brother from across the room.
Jake laughed at her comment then watched her shake her head in annoyance at Noah from across the room, who was laughing and talking to some girl that worked at the Ministry. She waved to his father who spotted her across the room and she gave a forced smile.
"That's your boyfriend, yes?" Jake asked her.
"Yep, that's him."
"Interesting," he mumbled.
"What does that mean?"
He just looked at her and shook his head with a small smile. "Nothing, I was just curious. So why are so many people from the Ministry at your party?" Jake asked, trying to change the subject.
"Honestly, half of them weren't even invited, a lot of times people just assume they are invited because the name "Malfoy" is involved. Some of them are just old business partners of my grandparents...well whichever ones my father still deals with. Then others were invited just to show face, the proper thing to do and all. Kingsley, of course, is always invited and as the Minister of Magic a lot of others just end up coming along I suppose."
"It's surprising that anyone that Lucius Malfoy dealt with is still willing to conduct business with your dad."
"Well, my father would never associate with anyone that followed my grandfather during those days."
Jacob looked at her, she seemed to be bothered by where the conversation was heading.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to upset you."
"No, it's not you, its just...sometimes it's hard to think I'm related to someone who had done such terrible things." she seemed to get lost in her thoughts for a quick moment before she smiled at him. "Hopefully your grandfather was a better man than mine." she lightly joked.
He gave a small laugh. "Actually, I can kind of relate to how you feel. I never met my father or my paternal grandparents, I just know what my mother has told me. He wasn't a very good man either, not to her anyway." he said, his face sinking a bit.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
He looked at her again and gave a bright smile. "It's your birthday, let's shift this conversation to something more positive. How about some dancing?" he suggested.
She nodded happily before she grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the dance floor.
"Just look at him, putting his hands all over my daughter. I'm going over there." Draco said, starting to get up when Ginny pushed him back down through her laughter.
"Stop it, sit down you psycho."
"Ginny, how could you be ok with this?" he looked at her like she had three heads before he glared at Harry. "Go over there and stop him," he ordered.
"From doing what?" Harry laughed.
"He is groping my daughter," he emphasized each word.
"You mean they're dancing?" he corrected him.
"Whatever you want to call it." he snapped before he looked across the room at James and Aurora once more. "I can't even look at this anymore." before he turned and grabbed his drink from the table and threw it back.
"And here I thought you would be reacting the way he is." Ginny laughed as she turned to Blaise.
"Honestly, watching his reaction makes me want to back off a bit on the two of them," he said as he glanced across the dance floor at Scorpius and Raven.
"She seems like a very sweet girl, I'm sorry to hear about your divorce." Ginny gave him a sad smile.
He waved his hand. "Nah, it was for the best, we had problems for a while...the problem being her not keeping her legs closed."
Ginny bit her bottom lip to stop herself from laughing at the way he worded his wife's infidelity, but when she saw him start to smirk they both let out a small laugh.
"Honestly, Raven was quite unexpected and she was never ready to be a proper mother. When we married, I told myself she would fall into it, as parents naturally do, but it never happened. So many years I kept holding on though for Raven's sake, but in the end...here we are." he said.
Ginny looked at Draco again, who was glaring across the room at James and Aurora still before she turned back to Blaise. "Having Scorpius and Ember was one of the best things that ever happened to us. I couldn't imagine not being a mother to my own children."
He locked eyes with her. "I feel the same way about being a father."
"Ellie, you're alive." Harry joked, sitting down at a table in the corner with her. "Why are you sitting all by yourself?"
"Hey Harry, just don't feel much like socializing right now." she shrugged. "Everyone seems to be having fun though, has Dad gone mental yet over that?" she nodded towards James and Aurora dancing together.
Harry looked at her with a giant grin. "Let's just say I left the table in case Draco decided to take it out on me."
They both laughed.
Ellie wanted so badly to just scream at the top of lungs at the pain in her body. She decided to just come down to the party hoping that it would take her mind off of the pain and the feeling of her head wanting to split in half.
"Geez, it's cold over here," Harry said, giving a shiver as he rubbed his hands together.
Ellie's breath caught in her throat when she noticed her concealment charms completely fail her. She went to make a run out of the room before Harry would notice, but when she looked up, he was staring right at her, his eyes wide.
"Ellie, your face...your eyes...what's happening?" he asked her as he looked at her in disbelief.
Her eyes were this bright white, her pupils gone. The veins up and down her arms and all the way up to neck and face were black. It looked like some kind of poison spreading throughout her body.
He went to go get Draco and Ginny when she quickly grabbed his arm to stop him. "Harry, wait." she pleaded with him. "Please don't say anything...not yet."
"Ellie, how long has this been going on?"
"Since I started school this year, it's been getting worse."
He just stared at her, he wasn't sure what to say. "Your nose...it's bleeding."
She quickly brought her hand up to her face and felt the warm liquid covering her fingers. Harry noticed the table before him starting to freeze over and the chandelier above start to lightly shake.
Ellie went to run from the room, but she fell to her knees when the pain took over her body.
"Ellie!" Harry ran to her side, the music blaring around them.
He went to help her up, but as soon as he touched her, his hands got burned and he gave out a small hiss. He watched the floor around them start to cover in ice and then the walls.
"I'll be right back," he reassured her before he ran over to Ginny and Draco.
He quickly ran over to them without trying to cause a scene, he knew they wouldn't want news of what was happening with Ellie to come out like this.
"Harry, what's wrong?" Ginny asked with a smile as she seemed amused by his sudden attitude change.
"Ginny, Draco you guys need to come with me...it's Ellie."
Ginny's smile fell and she jumped to her feet so quickly she almost knocked Harry over. Draco and Ginny both stopped walking when everyone in the room grew quiet as the entire room seemed to cover with ice.
Ginny looked at Draco.
"It's not me," he said before he looked across the way at Scorpius who locked eyes with him.
Scorpius shook his head to indicate it wasn't him either before Draco turned back to Ginny and they quickly ran over to Ellie. Ginny froze in place for a moment at the sight of her, the feel of Draco pushing past her made her legs start to move again.
"Hey, Ellie, look at me," Draco grabbed her face, but he pulled his hands back when her skin started burning him.
Ginny ran to her side and cupped her face in her hands. "Baby, listen to me, calm down, you have to fight it."
Ellie just shook her head, her fingernails digging into her scalp as the pain ripped through her.
"I can't fight it, not anymore. I'm sorry, I was going to tell you after the party, but it hurts too much to hold it in." she cried.
The room what rattling at this point, the windows shook and then started busting, making everyone break out into a panic.
"Ellie?" Ginny called to her.
She was shoved back hard by her before she scrambled away to the corner of the room and let out a painful scream.
Large shards of ice were shooting up from the floor while the rumbling picked up, making one of the chandeliers in the room fall to the floor and bust into pieces. People went to run out of the room, but a wall of ice blocked them from leaving.
"What's happening to her?" Kingsley asked, running over.
"Everything is fine, she's just having trouble controlling her powers." Ginny quickly said.
"Everything is fine? Are you kidding me? People are hurt, people are in a panic." Kingsley said, pulling out his wand.
"What are you doing?" Draco hissed, stepping in front of him.
"She needs to be controlled before she kills someone," Kingsley said. "Need I remind the two of you what happened all those years ago when you lost control?"
Ginny's eyes landed on her children who were standing right behind Kingsley. Her heart sank when she saw they were all quite shaken up over what was happening. Ginny took her own wand out and turned to Ellie. She shot a disabling charm at her, one that Lucius used on them so long ago that temporarily made them unable to use their powers. She was surprised when it did nothing to her at all, if anything, it made her emit ever more of her powers.
What was making it more unbearable to watch was the pain she watched her daughter endure. The screaming that filled her ears made her just want to hold her child, but Ellie wouldn't allow anyone near her.
A sudden wave of icy shards glided across the room as everyone ran for cover behind tables, walls and anything else they could find. People tried to put up protective shields, but they weren't holding up against the power that Ellie released.
Ginny's eyes fell on Jack Adwell a few feet away, his eyes firmly on Ellie as she marched over to him. "What's wrong with her? Why is she in so much pain?" she desperately asked, searching for some kind of answer.
"I know nothing about what she's been experiencing, I don't know-"
"WELL DO YOUR BEST!" she screamed.
"I don't know Mrs. Malfoy, if I had to guess, it looks like her body can't handle the amount of power that she possesses."
Ginny looked at Draco before they looked at their daughter, who had finally stopped screaming. They both ran to her side, her breathing heavy as she slumped to the ground.
"ELLIE!" Ginny cried, grabbing her into a hug.
"Mum...it...hurts so much." Ellie choked out, her voice hoarse.
She closed her eyes tightly as she desperately tried to keep her powers in, but when she opened her eyes again Draco's heart sank. Her white eyes turned to black, those black haunting eyes that Ginny would have when she lost control. He grabbed Ginny's arm and backed up from her as Ellie stood back up. Flames whipped off of her, causing the room to break out in more chaos than he already had. Draco could tell at any minute this whole room would be filled with a blazing inferno.
He and Ginny went to take cover when he felt Ginny stop and look at Ellie.
"PROTECT THE KIDS!" she yelled at him before she ran towards Ellie.
"GINNY! NO!"
He went to run after her but when he saw the blast of fire coming right at him, he quickly ran over to where the kids were and put up a shield of ice. His eyes searched the room for the twins who weren't around, but before he could finish searching he found himself fighting against the fiery flames as they tried to melt through.
Scorpius grabbed Ember, who seemed to have frozen in place at the sight of their sister. He jumped in front of her, Raven and Blaise and braced himself for the impact of the fiery wall that came right at them. All he could hear was screaming and the roaring flames filling the room as he fell to his knees against the intensity of the heat fighting its way through.
Ginny walked up to Ellie, the flames hitting her while her body absorbed them. It looked like Ellie was about to explode and before she could kill every person in that room, Ginny reached forward and grabbed her into a tight hug. She felt the force of power release from Ellie against her body, her powers forming a barrier around them that absorbed all the flames that Ellie released. After a few moments, she felt Ellie fall limp in her arms.
Scorpius cracked his eyes open a bit, he thought for a second he might be dead, but when he saw Raven and Blaise staring at him he knew he was very much alive. He turned to see the barrier of ice he had formed in front of them to stop the flames, but then his stomach was in knots. He never told Raven about his powers and here they were on full display for everyone to see.
He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard his mother screaming at Ellie to wake up.
Draco ran to her side and scooped her up in his arms. "We should take her to St. Mungo's," he said to Ginny, who nodded through her tears.
She looked at her parents who were already nodding for them to go on while they dealt with the aftermath.
Harry looked around the room, people were hurt, he couldn't tell if anyone was dead. Most everyone left as soon as they were able to and the room erupted into conversation. He just looked at Luna and little Bella to make sure they were ok and then walked over to James and the others.
"Is everyone ok?"
They all nodded.
"I need to talk to Kingsley...Hermione?" he called for her to follow him and she gave her two kids a quick hug before she ran to catch up with him.
Scorpius noticed Riley was crying, she was shaken up over the whole scene. "Hey, come here." he softly said as he pulled her into a hug.
"Is that going to happen to me too?" she asked through her tears.
He felt her body trembling in his arms. He didn't answer at first, he wasn't even sure of what he saw, but it was hard to watch.
"No, that won't happen to you. Mum and Dad are going to get Ellie some help, she will be fine," he reassured her.
He looked over at Harper, who was very quiet. She never really cried, but he could tell by her silence, she was upset. He nodded for her to come over to him and she slowly made her way over and hugged him along with Riley.
"Ember are you ok?" Jacob asked.
She just nodded as Noah came walking up to her and grabbed her into a hug. "Ember are you alright?" he asked.
She just looked at him for a moment before she nodded again. She gave a quick glance at Jake as Noah wrapped his arm around her and led her away from him.
Scorpius walked over to Blaise and Raven, he saw she had a small scrape on her face and he went to reach up to look at it when she quickly brought her hand up first. He paused and dropped his arm instead, he could tell she was uncertain.
"Raven, I'm sorry I didn't say anything to you, it's just-"
"Thank you for saving our lives." Blaise cut him off.
Scorpius just looked at him, his eyes wide at the words Blaise spoke.
"Um, y-you're wel-welcome." he stuttered.
"It's unfortunate what happened with your sister, but your gift saved me and my daughter's life today. Although Raven seems cautious about it, I believe it's something truly unique that you possess," he said before he turned back to Raven and gently led her out of the room.
Raven glanced back at Scorpius and gave him a small smile just so he wouldn't think she was angry. He smiled back and accepted the fact that she just needed time to process everything she had seen today.
Ginny sat on the edge of her seat resting her elbows on her knees, holding her head in her hands. She was nervously tapping her foot as she grew impatient for news on Ellie's condition. She felt Draco rubbing her back to try and calm her down. She sat up suddenly and turned to Draco, her eyes puffy and welled with tears.
"We did this to her," she said to him.
"What do you mean?"
"Our powers, the way they are affecting her...we did this to her."
"Ginny calm down," he said, getting up and gently grabbing her shoulders as he knelt down in front of her. "We didn't do anything to her, she is just struggling with controlling them," he reassured her, even though he was worried out of his mind about what was going on with Ellie.
He didn't want to worry Ginny anymore than she already was so he tried his best to lift her spirits with a positive outcome.
"I can't handle seeing her in that much pain and not being able to do a damn thing about it." she cried as Draco pulled her tightly in his arms to comfort her.
They both jumped up at the sight of the doctor approaching them.
"What's wrong with her? Is she awake? Can we see her?" Ginny berated her with questions.
"Ellie is still unconscious, she is stable for now." the doctor explained.
"For now?" Draco asked.
"Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy, the truth is that we don't normally deal with cases like this. We have treated her for any injuries and effects that she's endured, but as for the cause behind her abilities and how they are affecting her...you're going to want her to see a specialist for that. Someone who is familiar with these cases."
"Ok, well when will she see them?" Draco pressed on.
"The Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes has a medical lab branch not too far from the Ministry. Robert and Jack Adwell are the people you would want to speak to about Ellie's condition."
"No, that's not happening," Ginny said firmly, her face filled with rage at the mere thought of Ellie being evaluated by anyone from the Ministry.
"Well, if Ellie doesn't get the proper help and she keeps experiencing episodes like this it could really harm her. As I said, I don't know much about cases like these, for all we know she could wake up any minute and be perfectly fine," she said with a small smile. "You both can come in and see her if you'd like," she said, leading the way down the hall.
Draco and Ginny walked into the room and the doctor left to give them some privacy. They both just stood there in the doorway just looking at their daughter lying there. They never had to deal with something like this before, not with any of their children. Ginny slowly walked to her bedside and gently picked up her hand, the veins in her arms and her face was still discolored. She picked up a piece of her different colored hair before she ran her hands through it.
"Ginny?"
She heard Draco softly call to her.
"Maybe we should think more about accepting help from Jack and Robert Adwell. At least have them evaluate her?" he suggested, the idea wasn't sitting well with him either, but he couldn't stand to see one of his children like this.
He knew how dangerous Ginny was all those years ago...how dangerous he was and how he hurt Ginny one time and killed so many people. He was scared for Ellie and he was desperate to get her the help she needed.
"Draco...Gin?"
They both turned to see Harry and Hermione in the hall.
"What's going on?" Draco asked.
"Kingsley wants to see us all in his office immediately," Harry said.
Draco just nodded before Hermione walked in and wrapped Ginny in a hug.
"Any news?" Harry asked.
"Not really, they want to send her to Adwell for further evaluation," Draco explained, glancing at Ginny once more for her reaction.
"Maybe that isn't such a bad idea, Ginny. If it will help her then you should consider it." Hermione gently said.
Ginny remained silent.
"We better get to the Ministry," Harry said.
Draco hugged Ginny tightly before placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "I'll be back as soon as I can, ok?"
She nodded.
Draco leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of Ellie's head before he followed Harry and Hermione out of the room.
Ginny's eyes snapped open at the sound of crying filling the room. Her body was stiff from falling asleep in the chair beside Ellie's bed. She quickly realized Ellie wasn't in the bed, but in the corner on the floor across the room.
"Ellie?" she called to her as she got up from the chair.
"NO!" she cried out. "Mum, please don't come over here...I'm scared I'll hurt you." she sobbed against her knees.
Ginny's eyes welled with tears as she thought back to the first time she realized she had powers. How she locked herself in the bathroom and Draco assured her that she wouldn't hurt him.
"Baby, you won't hurt me." she softly said before she kneeled down in front of her. "Come here." she gestured for her to come closer.
Ellie was hesitant at first, but she slowly reached forward for her mother's outstretched hand. As soon as she felt her mother's touch, she threw herself into Ginny's arms and latched onto her. Ginny suddenly felt Ellie's grip on her tighten, her fingers digging into her back as she let out a whimper of pain. She pulled back a bit to look at Ellie, one of her eyes black and the other white.
"Come on; let's get you back into bed," Ginny said helping her get under the covers. "What hurts Ellie?" Ginny asked her, the feeling of helplessness breaking her heart.
Ellie let out a growl of pain as she grabbed her head. "Everything." she gasped through the agony that her body was experiencing.
Ginny climbed into bed next to her and held her closely against her. She could feel the temperature change in Ellie's body as she fought to control her powers.
"I wish I could take all your pain away," she whispered in her ear as she rocked her a bit.
Ginny suddenly had an idea as she slowly stopped rocking Ellie and turned to look at her.
"What is it, Mum?"
She just smiled at Ellie before she took her wand out and waved it at the door to the room and locked it. "I'm going to take all your pain away."
Ellie stared at her with wide eyes. "But how?"
"Here, take my hand," Ginny said, watching Ellie do as she was told and lace her fingers with hers.
Ginny felt Ellie's body start to heat up, her body trembling with pain as she held her. She took her wand and pointed it at Ellie. "Hauriendum," she whispered.
A bright light emerged from Ginny's wand and slithered around Ellie's body and down her arm until it reached their entwined hands. It traveled up Ginny's arm and around her body until her body seemed to have absorbed it and the pain was immediate.
Ginny squeezed her eyes shut, her first thoughts were of how her daughter had to endure such pain. She noticed Ellie still struggling to fight against her powers and she clasped her hand tighter with hers.
"Look at me baby, just let it out...let it all out," Ginny told her.
Ellie shook her head. "No, I can't."
"You can, I can handle it...release your powers, I'll be fine, I promise," Ginny said with a forced smile through the pain that ran through her limbs.
Ellie locked eyes with her mother for a moment before she closed hers and let out a shaky breath. She felt her body give in and let go of everything.
Ginny didn't expect the shooting pain that came next as she threw her head back and let out a loud scream. Her entire body was covered in pins and needles, her head getting ready to split in two. She started sensing something was wrong and she looked back at Ellie and then at their hands. She could see the veins in her arms turning a black and gold color and she suddenly jumped up off the bed and backed away from her daughter. She could already see the difference in Ellie's face.
Ginny's eyes turned black and her body became engulfed in flames as she screamed at the top of her lungs. Ellie watched in horror as her mother struggled against the power she seemed to have absorbed from her and then everything stopped.
Ginny fell to her knees and looked up at Ellie.
"Mum?" she choked out.
Ginny just watched the room start to spin and her vision turn blurry as she felt her face collide with the hard cold floor. She saw the door finally open and someone came running in as the room faded into darkness.
She tried to open her eyes, but the pain in her head made it excruciating for her to even let the slightest bit of light in. Whatever she did manage to see through her cracked lids was blurry. She went to rub her eyes when she felt her hands had been strapped down to the hospital bed she knew she was in.
"El...Ellie?" she choked out as she drifted in and out of consciousness.
"Ah, Mrs. Malfoy, you're awake."
She couldn't make out who the man was, she couldn't even make out her surroundings, she just knew she was in the hospital. She watched the dark figure of a man walk up to her bedside and wiped her arm with something wet.
"Wh...what is that?" she asked, her eyes taking in what looked like a syringe.
"It was quite brave of you to use the Hauriendum spell like that on your daughter. Your body is able to handle the powers better than her body ever could. Your fire abilities have diminished all traces of ice that ran through your veins."
"Who are you? What is that?"
"This..." the man said, holding up the syringe."Hmm, how can I explain this...think of it as a steroid...it will lay dormant in your system for a little while until you lose that temper of yours. When you do...well, let's just say they will want to contain you and when they do, they'll send you straight to me." he said.
She attempted to shake her head as he grabbed her arm and injected her with the black liquid. As soon as it entered her body, her eyes turned black once more and her hands struggled to free themselves as she fought against her restraints. She screamed out as her body convulsed for a few moments before she finally fell limp, her vision blurry again.
The man walked up to the side of the bed. "Relax Ginny; this is all just a dream...none of this is real."
Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell into darkness.
