Eve of the Masquerade Ball (enter at your own risk)

((Yes, this thread is open. Yes, you are likely to have some nasty spells fired at you if Mr Malfoy dislikes your presence))

Lucius was careful to take a long and winding route down toward the Forest from where he'd left the open doors of the Entrance Hall. Anyone who happened to glance in his direction would assume he was simply another visitor reminiscing about their school days while they got some fresh air. As they were intended to.

Ducking beneath the shadow of the trees, the darkness of the wood was more disconcerting than he had expected. And Lucius had seen some particularly disconcerting things in his time. Though he drew his wand as he entered, for the unnamed nasties that lurked in the forest were many and varied, he was by expedience compelled to keep it darkened until he had walked well away from the manicured Hogwarts lawns.

"Lumos," he finally breathed, and was greeted with the eerie white glow that all wands produce.

This did not much to dispel the oppressive atmosphere of the forest or to make Lucius feel more at ease, but Lucius had been a Death Eater for most of his life and did not rely on feeling at ease. In fact, the unsettling feeling was logged at the back of his mind among the beasts and darkness as one more reason the students and teachers of Hogwarts would not be keen to enter the forest even if they did suspect something untoward was happening inside.

He pressed further into the forest, carefully sweeping his wand in large motions, hoping its light would illuminate a place appropriate to his needs.

Ne'os walked along the path in the trees he was following a human smell he usualy did this he was practicing tracking. He then saw who he was tracking Lucius he smiled to himself as he walked just outside his light he walked infront of him and Drew the elder wand he flicked it thinknig, lumos. the camera flash of his spell flew glowed around the area not moving as he did it hung there "Hello Malfoy" he said his fangs bared.

ne'os felt the Silencing spell hit him it did not matter he was master as silent magic he could also feel the next spell aimed at him hit him he coughed as his organs exploded he laughed silently as he quickly downed a vial of blood his organs already starting to repair he flicked the Elder Wand working two spells at the same time one was to make his light spell dissapear the afterimage of the light hanged there for a minute before dissapearing the next spell was a stunning spell wich was Sent at Lucius.

Matt felt the Silencing charm hit him. No matter his voice was only for snear comments. He saw the cruciatis Curse come his way. He dodged it and it blew up a tree behind him. He laughed silently. He saw the curses hit Neos. If need be he would have to help. He pulled out the two wands. and aimed one each at them. He sent Expluso at Lucius and Expelliarmus at Neos.

((OoC:Lucius wat resource do you use for your spells??))

ne'os held onto his wand even as it tried to fly out of his hand he aimed his wand at his throat and lifted the silencing charm "what do you think your doing?" he asked the figure.

((OoC:Posting as Matt))
He also lifted the charm. "If you didn't notice I don't wanna kill the guy who killed Voldemort"He sneered. "Now if you'll excuse me"He said looking towards Lucuius. "we are currently in the middle of a duel!"

ne'os frowned "fine he is all yours you wont stand a chance against him but please have fun " he said holding his wand infront of his face his mask flowing from his wand to his face this time it was jet black and frowning its silver fangs giving off a odd glow. he sat down on a rock and watched.
