The Battle No One Planned

Tris was in the process of trying to put Addie's head on her lap to at least have it lifted somewhat when she heard her name from the doorway. Turning her head, she stared at the figure who passed through the doorway. "Baird?" She asked, taken aback.

It was kind of crazy to imagine everyone coming from Hogsmeade. Had anyone told the Ministry? Even if they had been told, would anyone help? The next room over was still filled with cracks and flashes of light, and Trisha was sure she heard unforgivables. Shivering, she watched Baird check Addie - she had no idea what he was doing, but something was better than the few healing spells she knew.

It took a moment for his question to register. Oh, he was worried about her. And why? They'd seen each other around school, and been at Nate's before but she didn't think they were of the best friend sort yet. But it was sort of like Adrienne. In something like this you acted first and asked questions later. Or she should've been.

Clearing her throat, she shook her head. "I'm alright. Just surface wounds." Isn't that what they were called? She thought so. He continued working as she tried to figure how long it had been. "It really hasn't seemed like too long. Everything happened so fast in there." She answered, staring at the wall dividing the action and the trio of students.

Carth was making his was into the office after doing a run for a higher-up when he saw Hallie leaving through the floo. Turning to the very confused and upset witch who seemed to be standing in the aisle between offices and looking completely lost for words. Seeing him, she nearly fainted.

"Just tell me where. I'll relay the message to the heads of the office." He requested, not wanting to hear the whole story if something had made Hallie run off so quickly like that. He'd been with her in a fight before and he knew well that she had the instinct to run straight into things without asking.

"Shrieking Shack." The woman finally managed to squeak. "Students - - Attacked..."

That explained it, then. That's where he'd been taken by Hallie to help her friends. Sighing, he conjured a patronus with the words necessary to tell them where to go. Hardly thinking through the steps of apparition after so many years, he turned on his heel and appeared in the main street of Hogsmeade. He was almost certain he saw a blonde who looked like Hallie racing up the hill to the Shack.

Taking off, rather far behind, he made his way up to the Shack.

Still with his wand pointed at the enemy he began hearing a faint pleading voice. Immediately he realized that it was Hitame. That's when he actually decided to look down and notice her. She was holding her body in pain. He knew that she had been affected by the cruciatus curse now. He quickly looked up to see who had casted it and he aimed straight up.

"Let go of my sister you b*tch! Stupefy!" Walt shouted at the dark figure he was pointing at. He figured this spell better do something before he got into a frenzy and started rapid firing at him to let go of his sister.

More and more he took notice of the people who had been waltzing in this battle. One of them happened to have blown out the top of the building and flew right in. This death eater in particular intimidated Walt a little but he stood his ground. He knew that with Jack and here and the rest of the members on his side that we could take any of them. He also knew that the order would be here eventually as well.

This commotion is only going to escalate and he knew that everything had only just begun.

Sophia was in Hogsmeade with Xem walking around the crowded street of Hogsmeade enjoying her day off. As she came upon the path that lead towards the shack she stopped dead in her tracks as she saw smoke coming from the shack. "What the heck?"Sophia asked herself but curiously at the same time. Running up towards the shack she busted into the room to see spells flying everywhere and a roaring floor blazing around the place. Seeing Hitame on the floor her eyes turned red in anger. "You bastard! stupefy!"said Sophia angrily sending the red spells towards Richard.

--------------------------------------------------

Dodging the spell by a hair, the spell hit the wall behind Taranee. By unexpectedly Taranee was pushed into the corner by a chair but quickly pushed it off her but with some difficulty due to pieces of wood piercing her arm. Wincing in pain she took it out of her and threw it into the floor. "No! Kenneth!"said Taranee as she seen Kennth being hit by the Imperius Curse. "Fight it off Kenneth!"said Taranee as she looked angrily at Henri. "Your going to pay for this you b*tch! Confudo!" said Taranee sending the spell towards her.

----------
Confundo- causes the victim to become confused, befuddled, overly forgetful and prone to follow simple orders without thinking about them.

Stupefy-Puts the victim in an unconscious state. Manifests as a jet of red light.

Jack saw Xemnas join the fight and, as more students entered, she realized they were all in a position of extreme danger. It was not the amount of Death Eaters that were worrisome, for she could have beaten them back easily on her own. But with all of the students there, the possibility of one of them being injured multiplied tenfold. She had no choices.

"Expecto Patronum tria!" Three wolfhounds sprung from the tip of her wand and stared patiently at her. Her instructions were as simple as could be. "Alert the Order." And they ran off.

She looked up in time just to dodge an Unforgivable. A familiar looking figure was zooming about on a broom, firing them. Jack pointed her wand at the tail-end of the broom, hoping to bat the woman out of the sky. "Incendio."


Hitame had been hit by an unforgivable, and another girl was responding hysterically to an attack. Jack managed to show Sophia some recognition before she called out, "Hallie. Xemnas. Can you try and get some of these kids out of here and to safety?"

Carth bounded up the stairs as Jack was asking Hallie and someone he didn't know to get some of the students out. Brilliant, another student attack in the Shack? This place really should have more protection, he decided.

"Hallie," He said, "I heard voices in the next room over. Want to check it out?"

Without waiting long, he left the room where most of the fighting was going on, only to enter the one next door. Two students were huddled around what he guessed was an older student, seemingly checking on her.

"What happened?" He questioned, kneeling beside the boy.

The blonde girl, who appeared a bit scratched but otherwise alright, looked up and explained that she'd had a blow to the head after an unforgivable. Grimacing he glanced over his shoulder, hoping Hallie had followed him.

- - -

Richard glanced around, noting that someone had just sent off a group of patronuses. Brilliant. Glowering, he shot out an "Everte Statum" in the general direction of the other side, hoping he could back them up in order for more Death Eaters and Dark Followers to have a chance to join them.

Everte Statum - Throws the victim backward, similarly to if they'd been thrown.

Hallie watched thunderstruck at the arrival of a new death eater on a broomstick taking out one of her falcons with the killing curse. The nerve of them. Thankfully the other two that had been attacking another death eater by the name of Rudolph Rapidfoot who had arrived almost instantly after Charlotte had decided to change course and chase the murderer of their friend.

Glancing over her shoulder Hallie noticed the arrival of Carth. So the short witch had managed to contact another member of the auror team. 'There are some students in the other room.' She shouted over her shoulder before casting 'protego' to shield herself from an oncoming everte statum.

She wanted to continue the offense, perhaps capture one of the death eaters and send them to Await trial but she knew Jack's instincts were right, after all she had already been there when Hallie arrived on the scene.

Not watching to see if her falcons dislodged the flying death eater she followed Carth into the other room to find a few students, one was a seventh year and another couldn't have been that much younger. 'Carth. We need to get them to safety but we can't leave. Unless we get them to the village and have them use The Three Broomsticks Floo Network to St Mungos?' She asked, wanting to see what Carth'a thoughts were on this. Personally Hallie thought it a good plan but with Carth being more experienced she felt as though she were to report to him.

Charlotte bared her teeth in rage as her cruciatus curse whizzed past Miss Dyllan. 'Bi*ch.' She muttered under her breath then swirling in the air to dodge the oncoming flames and blasting into the sky through the hole above.

However that wasn't her only problem a pair of falcons had changed direction and were rocketing towards her in retaliation to her killing their friend. Clearly it had been an unwise move but none the less if needs be she'd kill them too... Alive with Jack Dyllan. 'Ava-' Before she could even speak the incantation one of them had plucked her mask from her face. 'NO!' She bellowed before jolting and flying around the room sending a pair of severing charms behind her in hope to slice the birds from the sky. 'Diffindo! Diffindo!'

Charlotte continue her flight, swooping down past Jack - if only she had her beaters bat. 'I guess we're rivals off the pitch as well.' She sneered before returning to the spot by the ceiling that she had appeared from. 'SECTUMSEMPRA!' Topaz cried pointing her wand at Jack.

GUAHH!! Her curse had catapulted right at one of the falcons that managed to dodge her diffindo. 'Stupid birds.' Charlotte muttered in rage before spitting at the bird as it fell to the ground in a splash of blood.

This was not what Henri had expected, nor what she would have ever attempted to pull off. Henri was not one to care for social causes, and this whole rift between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix meant nothing to her. She didn't care to start a war, but it seemed she had done that in the course of a single night. She looked to Devin, saying, "Let's blow this stand, Dev-" 

He pointed his wand at the ceiling. "BOMBARDA MAXMIA!" The ceiling collapsed, and Jack had just barely enough time to cast a large shield charm to protect the students from the falling rafters. She ducked the first spell but was hit by the Sectumsempra spell across the forum. She cursed and made a quick attempt to patch it up, though she knew it was no permanent solution. She pointed her wand at Devin. "Stupefy!" He fell over unconscious. She pointed her wand at Richard. "Stupefy!" She wasn't playing around.

Her eyes fell on Charlotte. "Let the kids get away so you and I can talk, woman to woman. Rictumsempra"

Carter had gone out with his sister and son.He was a The Three Broomsticks and they were at Honeydukes.He heard something coming from the shrieking shack so he looked out of the window he saw the dark mark.He ran until he reached Honeydukes he entered looking for his sister and told her to take Austin out of Hogsmead and to stay at their house.He ran back to the shrieking shack and heard that there were students there.

He silently got in and saw Jack Dyllan one of his favorite players of all time.He tried to signal her that he was here to help.He was gonna use his advantage, the element of surprise.He had his wand at the ready hoping Jack had understand that at her signal he would fire.

Today was supposed to be a slow day. Nothing was supposed to happen today, at least that's what he thought. But that quickly changed when a wolfhound patronus appeared in front of him. There was an attack on the Shrieking Shack. And the Order was needed.

There had to be Death Eaters there, and a small part of him wanted revenge for what had happened before. The physical wound was gone, but another remained. He apparated to Hogsmeade, and quickly headed to the Shrieking Shack. It was on fire in some places and he could hear explosions and other things coming from inside.

He ran in and saw that some of his friends were in there. He noticed that Xem was fighting against a Death Eater and it seemed he was protecting Hitame who appeared to be hit by a spell. He ran to them, "What the hell happened?" he asked looking at Xem.

Joshua had been told by someone that there was a battle at the Shrieking Shack and that there was a dark mark.So he ran out of the leaky and up the hill were the shack was.He was entering as he saw a guy pointing his wand at somebody he new was in the order so he got his wand out and pointed at Carter."Stupefy!"He didn't know who he had hit or even if he had hit someone.

Stupefy:Directed at Carter when Joshua Thought he was a death Eater.
