Harry Potter: Veracity and Maelstrom (COMPLETED/ENDED)

[Altaynna]

Eliza nodded, cracking her neck in preparation, nodding once to the teachers, eyes lingering on Claw, her head of house. "While wise to know, do we know? I mean, do we truly have an estimate, or are we grasping blindly in the dark?"

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Darx eyed the students. "No clue. Keep your wands ready and remember: Try not to kill them." He seemed to be looking at Hagrid especially. Alex glared at him.


"If they go after the other students, I'll do whatever it takes." Alex said darkly, tapping his wand menacingly against his thigh.

 

[Altaynna]

"No promises." Eliza muttered, her gaze narrowed as she gazed forward, her eyes scanning the sight in front of them.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

ALEX


"I dare any of the scumbags to try to get past me." Alex said in a low voice. "Lumos." He said softly, lighting his wand tip and lifting it to see better. "Get ready." He warned softly, holding a hand out to Eliza.

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza regarded him before accepting his offered hand, raising her own wand. "Lumos." As the light shone from the tip, she glanced over at the boy beside her before staring straight ahead, her grip tightening slightly on Alexander's.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Alex saw a figure move in front of him. He slashed his wand, sending a bolt bolt of light toward the figure. Instantly, he stiffened. "They're here!" He shouted. "Stupefy!" He bellowed, watching the red bolt hit the man on the chest.

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza watched the man advance, her own wand coming up as she silently cast exspelliarmus on the advancing figure, her gaze watching it connect before moving past him, her hand not yet leaving Alexander's, not realizing it was still there, and seeking some sort of comfort. She remained focused, stupefying the next figure who wandered into sight immediately.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

"Impedimenta! Diffindo! Stupefy!" Alex shouted. There was no point in nonverbal spells, they expected it anyways. He saw a green boot head straight for Eliza. "Protego!" He said quickly, protecting her.

 

[Altaynna]

She jerked in surprise, nodding her thanks before screaming "Protego!" As another bolt headed straight for Alexander as he was distracted. She whipped around, pointing her wand in the direction it came from and muttering, "Petrificus Totalus." The man dropped to the floor and she moved quickly, flixking her wand he rose into the air and she moved him closer to them, a hostage, if you will, her fingers squeezing slightly as she moved.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Alex ducked as a bolt headed toward him, but another hit him straight in the chest, sending him flying, hitting the ground hard. He grunted. "Stupefy!" He cried, pointing his wand in the direction of the curse. He heard the sound of a body getting hit.

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza growled, moving in front of Alexnader slightly, her wand moving in a flurry of spells. A spell, no doubt a cutting one, sliced open her cheek but she ignored the blood dripping from the wound, her eyes locked forward.

 

[Dalamus Ulom]

"Stupefy!" Professor Dumont cried

She jerked in surprise, nodding her thanks before screaming "Protego!" As another bolt headed straight for Alexander as he was distracted. She whipped around, pointing her wand in the direction it came from and muttering, "Petrificus Totalus." The man dropped to the floor and she moved quickly, flixking her wand he rose into the air and she moved him closer to them, a hostage, if you will, her fingers squeezing slightly as she moved.

"Expeliarmus! Levicorpus! Incarcerous!" Professor Dumont cried. One of the men would be lifted up by their feet, another would be instantly tied up, and a third would be unarmed.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

"Get down!" Alex ordered, pulling her down. He slashed his wand. "Sectumsempra! Sectumsempra!" He watched huge bloody slashes appear on the other people. They seemed to be falling back slightly. "Come here." Alex said, inspecting her cheek. He pointed his wand at her. "Tergeo. Vulnera sanentor." The blood disappeared, and the wound closed.

 

[Altaynna]

She smiled, dipping her head in thanks. "Thank you." She stared at him for a moment, as if to speak, before moving back and aiming her wand at the group in front of her. "Avis." As a flock of birds appeared, she smiled before spelling once more. "Oppugno." The birds flew forth, attacking the attackers as she grinned. "Sectumsempra!" She slashed her wand at a figure that had moved too close, her eyes scanning their opponents, who seemed to be dwindling.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

"They're falling back." Alex noticed. He didn't sound relieved, on the contrary sounding more worried than ever. "That's not a good sign."

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza eyed him, her own voice sounding concerned. "It's never a good sign."

 

[UnknownOrigin]

"They won't come back. This was a scouting mission, to see our resistance. Which was a few teachers and students." He said bleakly. "We're just lucky we managed to fend them off this time. We need to teach the students more offensive spells as soon as possible."

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza nodded. "It would be best if prefect were to teach students in their house, so as to not disrupt lessons. That way they can learn offense and defense."

 

[Dalamus Ulom]

"Get down!" Alex ordered, pulling her down. He slashed his wand. "Sectumsempra! Sectumsempra!" He watched huge bloody slashes appear on the other people. They seemed to be falling back slightly. "Come here." Alex said, inspecting her cheek. He pointed his wand at her. "Tergeo. Vulnera sanentor." The blood disappeared, and the wound closed.

"They're falling back." Alex noticed. He didn't sound relieved, on the contrary sounding more worried than ever. "That's not a good sign."

Professor Dumont looked at them. He would speak to them about thwir choice of spells after this was over. He looked to the other professors. "Professor Crow, would you please tie up those we have captured?" He asked. He would step foreward towards the two prefects.

"They won't come back. This was a scouting mission, to see our resistance. Which was a few teachers and students." He said bleakly. "We're just lucky we managed to fend them off this time. We need to teach the students more offensive spells as soon as possible."

"Please assist Professor Crow in restraining our captives. And I would like the two of you to think upon your choice of spells." Dumont said.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Alex glared at Dumont. "None were illegal, sir. We took the necessary precautions, and most of them are probably still alive." Alex said sarcastically.

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza elbowed Alexander, keeping her face straight. "We were simply responding in self defense sir." She dipped her head, before moving over to help Proffessor Crow tie up the prisoners, starting with the one she had apprehended. She shot Alex an eye roll, a clear show of, (this is stupid, we didn't do anything illegal). She made sure no one caught the quickl gesture aside from him, bending down to tighten the knots as she worked silently.

 

[UnknownOrigin]

Alex stared coldly at the professor. "I'll go make sure the students in the Great Hall are calmed down. Good luck here." He said to Eliza and sprinted back to the Hall.

 

[Dalamus Ulom]

Alex glared at Dumont. "None were illegal, sir. We took the necessary precautions, and most of them are probably still alive." Alex said sarcastically.

Dumont loomed over Alex. "I said, you shall aid Professor Claw with detaining the prisoners. The both of you. End of discussion." He would lean down, and look Alex in the face. "Do I make myself clear?"

 

[UnknownOrigin]

"Dumont." Professor Darx cut in. "It doesn't take all of us to tie up a few captives. Go, Alex." He nodded, and Alex continued on his way. "You can go too, Eliza. Thank you for your help."

 

[Altaynna]

Eliza nodded her thanks to Professir Darx, standing up and moving away towards the great hall, catching up to Alex. She turned to look at him, one eyebrow raised. "Did you just sass a teacher?"
