Little Ellie was barely aware of the world around her. She kept her eyes closed but took comfort from sensing Snape so close. Her eyes filtered open as he grasped hold of her chin. She smiled at him weakly, but the terror from whatever the dementors had done to her was still there. She began swaying before grasping onto his shoulders, steadying herself. She lowered her head, dizzy. "I want to go home,"she whispered. Something wet dripped onto Severus' finger. "I'm scared."Her voice trembled.
"Severus!"Dumbledore cried. He hurried down the slope, aurors from the Ministry not far behind him. Reaching him, Dumbledore glanced worriedly from the child to the man. "Severus, what happened?"he asked. The aurors meanwhile had gone over to Black and Potter. One of them shouted, "They're alive!"They began getting ready to move them.
Ellie began trembling violently. The chilly night air was seeping into her bones. She slowly raised her head, her eyes meeting Severus'. Even at her tender age, she feared death was approaching her.
//I'm beginning to feel a bit better.
