The Battle For Grimmauld Place

Robert apparated from his place in beside Jess, his wand raised at the ready. "Who's the schoolboy, Jess?" he asked quietly, calmly, unrattled. This wasn't his first battle, and it would not be Robert's last. "Did he come to learn some of the better fighting techniques, perhaps? I'm sure we'd be pleased to show him."

"Contego!" he cast a protective spell around himself and Jess first, just as pure precaution. He was sizing up the robes that this odd boy wore. They clearly were not the norm. "Oh, yes. The Emof lad. We've met before. Come back around for another go at this, have you? Did I not fetch that garb back for you?"

Thaor had been ready for the attack, or so he thought, the curses from Matthew caught him off guard, but they weren't aimed for him. Sectumsempra, Stupify, CRUCIO Thaor sent flying towards Jess with all his concentration. Protego Thaor said, setting up a shield between him and Jess after sending the curses at him.

Thaor turned to Matthew. Ah, time for fun. Avada Kedavra! Thaor sent flying at Matthew. Casting another protego shield, this time, between himself and Matthew. Protego

[Spells Sent]
Jess Sectumsempra - causes deep cuts
Jess Stupify - Stunning Spell
Jess Crucio - Torture curse

Matthew - Avada Kedavra - killing curse

Brienne and Daniel heard the signal. They stepped out of their positions, both wizards were not very experienced but they also knew muggle fighting techniques in case one of the DE's got a bit too close for comfort. That's why Brienne and Daniel both carried throwable daggers in their belts as well as their wands. If any of the DE's started resisting spells, then the daggers would be thrown as a ditch last resort. They gave each other a hug and Daniel gave Brienne a kiss on the forehead for good luck. Feelings of hopelessness washed over the two once they saw the Death Eaters, as well as a feeling of anger. Neither Brienne nor Daniel would let each other die at their hands, not like that.

Jess laughed and didn't bother moving his wand. "Protego," he drawled, watching the spells bounce off a shield of nothing. "Ne'os, i wouldn't even try, if i were you, as you should know from previous... encounters, i am by far your superior." he said, with another laugh. "Expelliarmus, serpensortia!" He shouted, aimed at ne'os

Then another foolish Death Eater decided to take him on. "Protego Totalum." he shouted, "Crucio!" he added

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Protego: Shield against ne'os
Expelliarmus: disarm spell used against ne'os
Serpensortia: Summons a snake that targets the summoner's opponent
Protego Totalum: Blocks Thaor's spell
Torture spell aimed at thaor

(I'm gonna get sick of explaining every bloody spell, very soon)

[Jess, new thread of just me and you dueling?? then you won't have to explain, as I know my HP lore ]

Thaor watched as Jess's torture curse got blocked by his already active shield, and laughed at Jess's feeble attempt. Protego Totalus Thaor said, protecting himself from any more spells that came his way while attacking Jess. You have to mean them Potter Thaor laughed. Like this, CRUCIO Thaor snarled while focusing on how much he hated Jess, and everything he stood for.

Sectimsempra Thaor thought non-verbally sending the curse at Jess, followed by a non-verbal Stupify.

[Spells Sent]
Jess - Crucio - Torture Curse
Jess - Sectumsempra - deep cuts
Jess - Stupify - stunning

Andrew burst out of his cover, wanting to see the action now. He aimed his wand at some of the Death Eaters that he had recognized as the teachers at Hogwarts. Typical. He fired off a Bombarda Maxima at Ne'os and then fired a Stupefy at Thaor, hoping they would both hit. He then looked over and saw Brienne and that man that had helped him back at Egypt. He shot a glare that said 'Attack already' and then held his wand up again.

Nerezza grinned as the chaos began. She could barely stomach her excitement as the spells began to fly around the room. She had put a protective spell around her, although she wasn't really worried about getting harmed. She was out for blood tonight and no one was going to be getting the better of her. Watching Matt, she sent a Cruciatus Curse in his direction, desperate for screams. She eyed Ne'Os from the corner of her eye and rolled them in an annoyed fashion. He was irritatingly arrogant and Nerezza found it extremely bothersome. Sure, she was conceited, but she knew she was going to win. Emof was just a fool.

Moving easily through the onslaught of spells, she spotted a couple kissing each other amidst the various fighters. How pathetic. They probably figured they were going to die. Well, Nerezza could make sure of that for them. She had no problem in killing for their was no conscience in her soul. Waving her wand violently in the air, she hurled three Killing Curses in their direction, not really aiming. She wanted to hit someone over there, be it the two lovebirds or a nearby Order member. Her emeralds flew to a rather young man who just threw a Stupefying Spell at Thaor. Enraged, she slashed her wand in the air and thought quite violently SECTUMSEMPRA! She watched, grinning as the spell flew towards the young Order Member. He was but a child.

And, he would die.

OOC: Duel with Nerezza? Anyone?

Brienne and Daniel had several attacks up their sleeves, they hid again, but this time they cast spells out of their hiding place, changing their hiding places to make it difficult to pinpoint the trajectory.

Brienne fired a Sectumsempra at Thaor. Daniel fired a Stupefy at the same guy. They hoped that they'd hit, but had their doubts. They were helping out the other Order members in the most minimal way possible, which was disheartening to say the least. Each of them knew they'd probably be the first to die.

They saw the Killing Curses and ducked out of the way, pinpointing where they were coming from, Brienne and Daniel both sent Sectumsempras at Nerezza, hoping for a hit.

"You'll pay for that double time!" Brienne and Daniel shouted together.

Sectumsempra - cutting spell - Nerezza (x2)
Sectumsempra- cutting spell - Thaor
Stupefy - stun - Thaor

Andrew turned his head back to the scence, only to find a Sectumsempra spell flying towards him. Quickly, he rolled to the left and pulled out the Siren, his trusty gun which had helped him through a lot. He aimed it at the woman and began to pull the trigger rapidly at the woman. After firing about 8 shots, he pulled out his wand again, and then said "Expelliarmus!" A red beam then shot out of his wand, flying towards the unknown Death Eater whom had tried to kill him.

The boys were concentrating on one-another and that was all to the good, so far as Calli could see. She backed into the morning room and pressed her wand to the tattoo branded on her wrist.

"Morsmorde," she whispered.

Green light exploded from the tip of Calli's wand, then blew her hair back from her face as it swept up the chimney to hang the Dark Lord's sigil above Grimmauld Place.

Though it was usual to leave the signature mark at the end of a night's work, Caelani assumed nobody would mind her making an exception this one time. It would alert the Death Eaters yet to arrive that the fighting was already commenced.


Morsmorde - The Dark Mark, aka, Death Eaters were here.
