ATTACK THREAD
WHEN: Week 01, 'Big Bang Theory, Sunday December 3rd, 2008, 8:30 PM
WHERE: All over the school, but mainly in the Great Hall and foyer
WHO: EVERYONE! Whether they knowingly go into the battle with the DA, DE, ORDER, FUKD, or whether they're innocent and caught in the crosshairs!
( And here I dreamt I was a soldier... )

A look around the foyer told her many things she did not want to know-- there were ten of them, all hooded and masked, and there were more students, many of whom actually seemed to be holding their own.
Her breath caught in her throat when she saw a blonde-headed figure she knew very well lying at the floor with Andy and Li. But... but Bacchus was moving, and she didn't see any blood, so he mustn't be hurt too bad. Or maybe it was something that didn't cause blood.
At least he was alive.
She scanned around for Illiad, but found him not. He must be safe, then... he must not have come...or else he's... her stomach knotted as she saw one of the dark figures. No. Illiad would never...
A curse skimmed across her face, cutting her cheek and she winced. She couldn't let her concentration skip.
"INCENDIO!" she bellowed at whoever had thrown the curse at her, flicking her wand back at them, only to draw it back and make a shield charm.

Fashionably late, if you will.
But no, that sounded far too much like something Tatiana would say.
In ANY case, it was time for the fun to begin. The usual assignments were thrilling, absolutely, but being able to take part in an attack on Hogwarts itself was particularly fun.
She had mostly been staying towards the back, observing the other Death Eaters beginning to curse and hex the pathetic excuses for an army. She didn't need to go out guns blazing just yet - she had her reason for being here and she certainly wasn't going to waste her energy on random students ( ... )

What had she gotten herself into?
Laying on the floor in the small pit that Adriana had created, Lou looked up the staircase and saw the dark figure-- she most certainly spelled out 'DOOM' to the girl's grey eyes.
But she was a Gryffindor, and further more, she was a Hawkins. She did not go unsmiling into the darkness. She didn't even go calmly.
She'd fist-fight the Grim Reaper if she needed to.
"EXPELLIARMUS!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, face contorted with rage, the very picture of the Celtic warrior in battle--angry for the attack on her life, and going to take it out on whatever got in her path.

Grim Reaper? Not far off, possibly.
Reacting instantly, Adriana shifted to her right, Lou's spell hitting a statue vase at the top pillar of the stairs, cracking it on impact. "There is no need to take it out on the castle," she called out, shaking her head with disapproval. Of course, ignoring the large hole that was at the base of the staircase now.
"And here I was, might be willing to give this back to you-" pausing, Adriana pulled out a Victorian-looking pendant on a long chain from her robes, one that she just so happened to pluck from Lou's dear old Mum. Wand still in her right, she dangled the piece of jewelry from her left hand, a taunting gesture as she slowly descended a couple stairs.
"I certainly have no use for such rubbish, so I'll tell you what, lower your wand... and you can have it back."

This was so easy it almost wasn't as much fun. Damn.
"Oh, so you do want to have it back," she muttered, lips pursing as she glanced at the necklace hanging from her fingers. Advancing down another step, Adriana was smirking from beneath her mask, almost wishing this would last longer.
"What's the magic word?" A pause for sarcasm, and Adriana chuckled, tossing the cameo high up into the air towards Lou.
"Think fast!"
Activating the portkey once the piece of jewelry left her hand, Adriana simply waited for Lou to catch it and instantly find herself transported to HER DOOM the next location where things would only get much worse. For her.

She SO should've known better!
Unfortunately, Adriana was relying on Lou's familliar instincts. Which was very clever of Adriana. But very bad for Lou.
She reached out to grab the cameo, not wanting it to fall and shatter-- for it would! It was very fragile-- she had once broken it when she was a child-- snapped a lock of her own hair clean off when she'd been sitting in her mother's arms during a family party. Kittias hadn't been that mad-- she hadn't even bothered to fix it.
In fact, Lou's fingertip slides right over the part where the lock of hair, now lost somewhere in time, used to be.
And then she vanishes.
