Nick felt Matt's binding curse hit him and in an instant he was dragged towards Proffesor Calvert, the two held back to back by magical ropes. He cursed himself for not being able to deflect it, then cursed the proffesor for her sloppiness. Was she not supposed to be the adult here? Nick sighed and his annoyance only increased as Bellatrix Lestrange came on to the scene. How had she and Matt managed to avoid that Fiendfyre attack up at the castle? Nick had foolishly believed her to be dead, so you can imagine his surprise when she sauntered over to them. His blood boiled as she taunted both Calvert and himself, was he her boyfriend, really? Did he look like her boyfriend? The Lestranges were more stupid than he thought. Nick smiled wickedly at Bellatrix "How are the snake bites Lestrange? Back for some more, Ill make sure its permanent damage this time." Laughing he continued "You would think you would just grow old gracefully and die. What are you like sixty and your using potions to keep up your appearence, pathetic." He grinned, she couldn't do anything with him, not with Matt behind her, practically begging Nick to duel with him. All she did do was dissarm both his teacher and himself, Nick could only watch as his wand flew out of his hand landing a good five/ten feet away from him. Great he thought, how was he going to get himself out of this one, dont get him wrong, he quite liked being pressed up against Bonnie but it would have been better under diffrent circumstances.
It was then they were released, by Bellatrix Lestrange. Nick unlike Bonnie did not fall to the floor. He landed gracefully on his feet and as Bellatrix foccused on Bonnie, and as Christabelle tried to occupy Matt Nick dived for his wand. Picking it up he blasted Christabelle's curse out of Matt's face with the Protego charm. So far Christabelle had done nothing wrong, there was no reason why she should be targeted. Nick could not let her get involved with Matt Lestrange, once you were on his radar it was hard to get of it. No, he would kill Matt, Christabelle should help Sierra and Bonnie. Women he thought, it was when you got involved with them thing's got complicated. Nick turned to Christabelle "Help Proffesor Calvert and Sierra, Christabelle. Ill fight Matt Lestrange." As he had already told Bonnie Calvert, Matt and he had previous. Raising his wand he felt a surge of power over come him. Everything would be ok now, Nick Valentine had his wand, glaring at Matt he spoke "I was born ready Lestrange, the question is were you?" Glancing at Christabelle he continued "The women are not a part of it, no cheap shot's when Im not looking. Proffesor Calvert is already injured, she needs medical attention." Nick did not want Christabelle to get hurt because of Matt's hatred for him, he really liked her. It was the same for Sierra, and Miss Calvert, but mostly for the beauty he had enticed into that dark arts classroom all those days ago. Nick wanted her to see him overcome Matt, but didn't want her to get hurt in the process. His eyes fell on Bellatrix. She was the biggest threat here, while he duelled Matt, that evil witch would set about torturing those he wished to protect. He couldn't reason with her, she was evil at its worst. So he tied her tongue to the roof of her mouth with the Langlock curse, which he cast non verbally. Her curses if she chose to use them would not be as powerfull, it was the best he could do.
Knowing that the time for talking had long since past he positioned himself opposing Matt but infront of Christabelle. With his body in between her and the Death Eaters he was ready to duel. Raising his wand he sent the killing curse at Matt "AVADA KEDAVRA" and a non-verbal Cruciatus curse at Bellatrix.
