The Next Generation

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

"What are you doing, you psycho?! Get away from me, both of you! Your both nutcases!" He shoved Liam away and walked away from them.

[*Riley*]

Liam was thrusted to the floor and saw Arthur burst out the door.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

He couldn't spend one more minute with these poeple. They were crazy. And they were turning him crazy.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Geneve glared at Liam. "What did you do that for?" she shouted, and turned around to go after him. But just as she did, the strange man who Liam had cursed with a total body bind was beginning to stir. He tried to get up, but when he moved something roled out from under his robes. Geneve watched as the object rolled into the light; It was a viale of dark liquid - blood!
"He took it...." Geneve remembered Arthur rambling about his cut. It was this man who had attacked Arthur. Geneve felt terrified. This man had killed the headmaster, thrashed Arthur, and tried to drag her off earlier. She decided now was a good time to leave.
"Are you coming??" she shrieked at Liam. Liam considered the man for a moment, then turned to follow Geneve out the door.
When they reached the foot of the stairs, the front door was wide open, letting in skin prickling cold air. Genveve rushed through the door. Arthur was standing outside, and in front of him he could see the professor and the strange man. Something strange was happening.... Arthur was shouting at the two adults, but they were ignoring him. Then he tried to walk forward, and hit something so hard it caused him to fall back in the snow. Geneve ran over to help him.
"Get off! Get away from me! " He shouted and swung a fist at Geneve which connected with her chin. She fell back, clutching her face.
"Hey!" Liam stepped forward and Arthur kicked at him, knocking his feet out from under him so Liam fell flat on his back. Arthur stood up and ran around the back of the house. Liam was winded and Geneve sat up, rubbing her jaw.
"Arthur! Arthur please wait!" she called. Liam had rolled onto his front, gasping for air.

[*Riley*]

He was stressing what if he couldn't breath, his lungs were empty and he was choking.

"Renervate" he heard Geneve say pointing her wand at him.

His lungs were filled with the bitter nights air..

"Need find Arthur" he managed to gasp as he collapsed in a heap, breathing wildly.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Geneve Liam up; he still hunched over trying to catch his breath. Arthur had disappeared around the side of the house, and if they didn't go now they would loose him. Geneve started to chase. She ran around the side of the house and spotted Arthur reaching his hands out into thin air as if miming being in an invisible box.
"Arthur." Geneve said. Arthur turned around, his back to the imaginary wall.
"Get away from me!" he screamed.
"Stop it! I'm not going to hurt you!!!" Geneve yelled back. "Look, here!" She said, taking out her wand and laying it in the snow. "And here!" she said, throwing the ring into the snow. "Now listen to me! I know who took your blood! It was that man in the room upstairs. He killed the Headmaster, and he tried to kill you. Arthur, we have been brought here for a reason, so please, help me. Help me find out why, at least for your sake. " Geneve pleaded. she tried to approach Arthur. They walked around an imaginary circle, until Arthur could bend down and pocket Geneve's wand.
"Alright." he said. "Alright. let's find out how to get out of here and back to Hogwarts. I have not choice, i'm stuck here with you."
Just then Liam came around the corner, leaning on the wall of the house. Arthur rounded on him, wand ready. Liam put up his hand to protest.
"Liam, I gave him my wand. We have to start trusting each other. We have to be more careful. Now. let's see what we can do to get through here." Geneve turned and started looking up and down at the imaginary wall. Just then, the Beagle she saw earlier appeared on the other side, and peed on the wall. Geneve watched in amazement as the pee didn't hit the snow, but sprayed into the air and hit what seemed like glass!

[*Riley*]

He stared at Aruthur who looked deadly..

He held out his hand wich had his wand,

"Don't worry keep your wand, we need some prtecion" Arthur said.

Liam stowed his wand back in his soaked robes and stared at the dog in amazement.

"I wonder if it knows we are watching?" he asked himself.

BANG , there was an explotion where the adults were..

Panick arose in Liams stomache

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Geneve saw smoke billow around the edge of the house where they had just come. Out of the smoke immerged a figure in a cloak. Geneve put her hand up to block the sun. She couldn't make out who it was. But whoever it was, was holding a wand out. Geneve screamed. "Duck!" and she jumped into the snow. Something shot right over her and hit the imaginary wall, reflecting and breaking up the wall of the house beside them. Rubble landed on Geneve's back.

[*Riley*]

He ducked or cover, the wood exploded and he got splinters everywhere,

"Liam !,Where are you ?" he heard Geneves voice over the noise of the adults, hecldn't se a thing, the air was linedwith thick smoke..

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Geneve managed to get up and look around. "Liam, Arthur! Where are you!"
"Over here..." groaned Arthur. He was getting up out of the snow, his hair was standing up and covered in soot. Geneve looked at the house; a huge hole had had been blasted into it and the edges of it were on fire! Geneve put her hand up to shield her face from the heat.
"Liam! where are you?!" Geneve shouted. The foundations of the side wall were beginning to collapse. Geneve saw some movement inside the house, and Liam started to immerge from a pile of ceiling rubble.
"Liam! Get out of there! THere's a...." But she couldn't finish. Something had hit her on the back of the head and she fell into the snow.

[Ms. Elsewhere]

The man who had caused the blast scooped up Geneve and carried her over his shoulders. He mumbled an incantation, and in a moment, the two of them disapparated away. Arthur and Liam were helpless to stop it.

[choki]

Nikolaus and the stranger remained still for about a minute or so, with neither side taking any action. Now out of nowhere, Nikolaus sensed a blast of dark magic from within the barrier. Before he can react, the magical barrier tore apart itself from within as though someone had destroyed the protective barrier, revealing the true appearance of the now shattered burning house.

Nikolaus immediately raised his wand towards the direction of the burning house and chanted an incantation softly that the witch right besides him could not even hear it. Instantly, a thick blanket of black smoke erupted out from the wand tip and surrounded the house, effectively starving the fire of its oxygen.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

It was all dark. He couldn't hear clearly, everything was muffled as though he was in a warzone. His heartbeat must have been sky-rocketing, he was tripping over his legs and he eventually collapsed in the darkness, unable to feel his path to safety. Maybe this is how he would die. Geneve certainly would, if that was a dark wizard taking her away. They murdered anyone. His family was right. Smoke inhalation.

This is a joke. I'm going to die, he thought. Then he didn't think. It was over, surely?

[Ms. Elsewhere]

Geneve reappeared at the front of a house, somewhere where night had fallen. She was woozy from being hit, but she decided it was best to pretend she was unconcious. The man carried her into the house and layed her carefully on the couch. He put a blanket over her and she sensed he was watching her for a moment.
"I'm so sorry, Geneve." he said out loud.
"Oh that's really pathetic!" said a woman's voice. "Just because she's your daughter! Oh, I think you're going soft on us!"
"Shut up. I told you I didn't want to harm her. She needs to be well for this to work." the man said to the woman.
"Right. So now we need to get that Delacour boy to perform Veela magic so we can bottle it." said the woman. "And everything is ready." Geneve heard the woman cross the room. Then she felt someone pull some of her hair out, and it was all she could do not to react.
"There." said the woman. "I'll mix the potion and you get ready to return. If we timed it right, it will be like u never left. Then you can drop me off, and leave the Veela to me."

[FawkesthePhoenix]

The barrier exploded. Two people rushed out of it, people she had seen before. One of them was holding a viale. They seemed to be arguing. Then the two figures saw Valencia and the man. In one fluid movement, all four of them pulled out they're wands.
"Listen," She said quickly to the man she'd been pointing her wand at, "I don't know who you are or what you're doing here. But no matter what your plans are, those people most likely plan on killing us and I don't fancy being blown to smithereens." The figures were three feet away. Valencia continued, softer, so they wouldn't hear her. "I'll watch your back if you watch mine." Valencia knew this was a great risk, but she had no choice. This was seriously dark magic, and she needed all the help she could get.
