The Grounds

Lupin: "Let's go. There aren't enough of us." I shouted at Kingsley.

Lord Voldemort: I walked forward, toward the battle.

Bellatrix: I hissed as my curse was deflected. I started again one after another without skipping a beat. "Avada Kedavra!" I yelled with each curse. I felt the Dark Lord's presence but did not pause.

Kingsley: I jumped out from behind the column where I was hidden, and quickly ran to where Nymphadora was hiding from Bellatrix. I gestured for Remus to come over, side-along apparation was the only way we would be able to get to the same place. Hestia had obviously realized that, as she has just left with all the Weasleys.

Tonks: I chanced a curse at Bellatrix, really glad they had reapplied the law that Aurors were allowed to use Unforgivable Curses, and we had been trained pretty well to use them. If Aunt Bellatrix wasn't going to play fair, neither was I. "Avada Kedavra!" I yelled at the same times as Kingsley, much to some Death Eater, or maybe it was Voldemort, well, much to their amusement. Apparently it was funny the Aurors knew some tricks.

Lupin: I reached out and grabbed Nymphadora and Kingsley as well as the other members of the Order before quickly disapparating.

Bellatrix: I glared as they disappaperated and cursed under my breath. I'd almost had her. I turned now to the Dark Lord.

((gah! Everything is ahead of the Grounds (aka the Hospital Wing).....so I shall attempt to catch up!))

Lord Voldemort: "Leave them! They will return. We need to insert more authority here at Hogwarts. We have leverage against most wizards. Most of the wizarding world have children or family members. If we don't allow student to leave. And if we continue to put pressure on the Ministry employees, they will all cave. Snape! Rookwood! Go tell the various Hogwarts staff that the headmaster would like to see them. in my office."

Bellatrix: I waited for the Dark Lord to give me instructions. I noticed that Lucius had disappeared...

Lord Voldemort: I glanced around, looking to see if everyone was here. "Narcissa, where is your husband and son? Are they such cowards that they cannot fight in a battle?"

Narcissa: "I haven't seen either of them, my Lord," I shook my head. "Lucius since we were in the Slytherin Common Room, and I haven't seen Draco since earlier this morning,"

Lord Voldemort: "Hm. Pity. When you find them, let them know their lives are most likely void. Unless....they can explain themselves now...of course." I said, looking around.

Narcissa: I tried to hold back the panic that erupted with his words, and I looked around anxiously, hoping that if Draco and Lucius were here that they would show themselves.

Lucius: I heard the Dark Lord speak my name and stepped out from my hiding place. He looked angry, but amused. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad... I made her my expression was apologetic though.

Lord Voldemort: The corner of my lip twitched up in a half-smile. "Do you fear death Lucius?" I looked around when he didn't answer, "Ah, but it seems your son does not."

Draco: I laid down next to the Forbidden Forest. I could hear his words, but my body refused to obey me.

Lucius: My eyebrows furrowed in worry for Draco, my only son. I looked around in hope of seeing him come and stand at my side. Where had he gone?

Narcissa: I looked around, hoping Draco would, somehow, appear. What if he wasn't able to come?

Lord Voldemort: "Hm...pity."

Lucius: Terror spread on my face then. "My Lord," I started. "Surely Draco would be here if he could, if he knew what was going on..." My mind was scattered, but I needed to think fast. "If my wife and I could find him..."

Lord Voldemort: I noddded, "Very well. You have five minutes. Use it well."

Lucius: "Thank you my Lord, and we will be sure to." I bowed before grabbing Narcissa's hand and bolting into the forest. Father's intuition.

Lord Voldemort: I smiled as I sat down, waiting for Lucius and Narcissa

Lord Voldemort: I smiled as Lucius, Draco, and Narcissa walked out of the forest, "I applaud you Lucius. With only seconds to spare."

Lucius: I nodded to the Dark Lord in thanks even though I was aware of his sarcasm. My son was safe, and that was all the mattered to me at the moment.

Lord Voldemort: I turned and saw Rookwood nod at me, "Lucius, Severus, Rookwood, and Bellatrix. If you would all accompany me to my office. We have Imperius curses to hand out."

Snape: I nodded curtly and walked over to the Dark Lord.

Rookwood: I followed Severus.

Lucius: I nodded and gave Narcissa a kiss on the cheek before following the others.

Bellatrix: I smirked. Love, I thought with disgust. Pathetic. I followed after Lucius glancing back at the ever odd Draco Malfoy.

Narcissa: I smiled half-heartedly at Lucius as he joined the others, and I stood where I was with a hand on Draco's shoulder.
