"Leave her alone! She hasn't done anything wrong!" She stepped between Cat and the other two. She pointed her wand at Ace. "If you hurt her, you'll be in the Hospital Wing for more than a day....and that's a promise. And you can join him." She said, glaring at Beth. Cat was trying to help everybody. Why were they making her seem like the enemy? That was Micira's role....wasn't it? She really didn't wish to hurt Ace any more, but if it came down to that because he was threatening her new and only friend...than so it would be.

Headmistress Lilac had looked out her office window when she saw some students with wands raised at each other. She couldn't tell who they were because it had started to rain , she darted out of her office and ran as fast as she could passing a bunch of students who looked at her like she was crazy on her way to the lake. What she saw made her mad, her daughter and ace with wands raised at two other students.
She tried to catch her breath before she yelled "What is going on here ?put your wands away this INSTANT. Honestly have none of you learn from what happened the other day ? I want to know what is going on and i want to know right now" she had caught her breath by this time and she was standing in between the four of them getting soaked by the rain because it just kept coming down harder.
This sort of thing wouldn't happen if Alexander was here she thought to herself but she pushed the thought from her mind as she looked at all of them sternly. " I'm waiting !" she said tapping her foot.

Cat turned to the Professor and lowered her wand. "She," pointed at Beth, just came down here threatening to hurt Micira for what happened the other day and Micira apologized and she was ready to hex her," Cat explained. "I pulled my wand out only because I feared that hexes were going to be flying and then her friend showed up and also threatened us."

Micira stowed away her wand and looked at the ground. Great......I know I'm going to get blamed for this.... She sighed and looked up, wondering if it would go better if she took all of the blame now instead of letting Beth overexaggerate to her mother.
"It's all my fault. I threatened to curse Ace again." She said in an emotionless tone, still looking at the ground.

Beth stood there with her wand still in her hand but it was lowered. She looked over at Micira and shook her head.
"Don't lie to her Micira , Mother i came out here and confronted her about what she did to ace so its all my fault but i don't care, i swear to you what i was about to do to her she had coming Marjory and then this one" Beth said pointing at Cat "decided to get into it so Ace got into it and thats exactly how it happened".Beth had learned over the years to be truthful with her mother because her punishment would be alot worse if she lied. She stood there waiting for her mother to blow up on her .

Professor Sicoft LeStrange had been sulking around the Lake previously after leaving the Hospital wing, had it been any other day that would have been stuck inside mixing and brewing potions. A mild rain had began to drizzle open those who staid outside, the clouds darkened and something seemed to be brewing. His instant reaction would have been to withdraw himself from outside and return into the commons, but no something kept him outside.
The rain started to fall harder, the clouds grew darker and the only distraction was a group of students and a woman who could not be seen through the rain. He moved closer, he waited to find himself getting nearer to the group but something held him back. The familiarity of the woman’s voice gave him an instant recognition of who she was.
“Is there a problem, Headmistress?” He stepped next to her, pulling his wand out from his robe and motioned to place their wands down
The area grew crepuscular, he could barely see a few feet in front of him “Lumos …” he continued to mutter the simple connotation but nothing helped the darkness, the darkness swirled around them in simple spirals as if a fire had broken out.
Spells flew in each direction, a mixture of red and golden spirals flew through the darkness and Sicoft saw a glimpse of men swarming around them, wands out and shooting stunners. He flicked his wand at anything he saw move; he was a potions master not the defense against the dark arts teacher. A quick calculation gave somewhere in the thirty-five range, it was an attack on Hogwarts from the ministry. The tell tale sign was the robes, ruby red robes embossed with a golden M swirling on the back of the robes.
“Get the children out of here!” He was not one to show panic let alone concern of anyone besides himself, glimpses of figures appeared in every direction, the darkness still remained in the area and contact with a spell was near impossible in the current state

Professor Alessandro Andolini appeared, with his wand out. He cast Stunning spells in the direction of the Ministry members with a fierce, and accurate aim. He looked terrifying as the red jets slightly illuminated his face. He joined Sicoft and Lena in the center of all of the commotion.
"Why is this happening?" Alessandro asked the others while throwing several spells.

Headmistress Lilac went to say something to her daughter when everything around them went black and she could see ministry officials around.She heard Professor Lestrange "say get the kids out of here" but she didn't have time spells flew every which way and she started sending them back .
"Try and get back to the castle Students now"She said trying to keep them to safety but she was worried they wouldn't get away unhurt.
She sent a spell at one of them when they sent two more back at her. She couldn't believe the week they were having , nothing like this went on at Hogwarts but it was real and it was happening. Lean lilac stopped in her tracks and screamed "WHAT DO YOU WANT ?" even though she had a feeling she knew why they were there.

Professor Andolini lowered his wand slightly. "I'll take the children back!" He said loudly, so that the other two could hear him over all of the hexing. He bent down low, trying to examine if anyone was injured and needed to be carried back. But just as he bent down, a spell went right over his head. Maybe it was best to stay there for a little bit longer. He knelt down in front of them, to make sure they wouldn't get hurt and cast a few of his own spells back at the Ministry members.
"Stay low!" He yelled at the students. "And curse as many of those bastards as you can!"

Micira tripped over her robes and into Cat when the darkness first fell. She continued to stay on the ground, cursing in the direction the spells were coming from. Suddenly a figure placed himself before them. It was a familar voice. Professor Andolini's....She followed his instructions and continued to stun every moving figure she saw amongst the darkness. It helped that all of them were cursing...it gave them a little light to see where the Ministry members were, making it easier to aim and hit effectively.

Beth crouched down to the ground casting spells all around her , being cautious not to hit one of her fellow classmates or her teachers. She could barely see anything around her but little bursts of light all around her coming from the wands of everyone around. She looked around to make sure everyone but the Ministry people were OK.
It didn't matter if before this she hated the two other students, right now she was worried about them and everyone else.In time of attack everything else doesn't seem to matter but staying alive and protecting those around you she thought to herself as she cast a couple more spells at two of the men casting in her direction.
She didn't know how many she had hit but she just kept casting spells at them. She was really scared now because they didn't seem to be putting a dent in these people. They just seemed to keep coming .

The darkness began to break apart, the rain remained steadfast and that prevented good ground coverage, yet the spells remained. It went back and forth for quite awhile and finally the professors and the few students that remained happened to clean the field and weltered down to only five remaining ministry workers. Sicoft kept his wand flying in each direction; he was not going out with out a bloody hell of a fight. He swooped past the Headmistress, nearly being hit in the chest but ducked and sent a counter curse flying towards one of the remaining five.
“Keep it coming … Hahaha, I love it.” He broke out in manic laughter and sent one of the robed men flying bespattering across the lake, ending with a loud pop. The lake swelled in a dark overcast and the Giant Squid that many felt was a mere folklore swooped up and the ministry worker vanished
It was a constituent barrage even with four member remaining of spells, they weren’t ending either but nor was the professors or students going to back down.

Cat was at first tremendously confused by what was happening, after all why would the Ministry attack Hogwarts? But she didn't question it further as curses were flying thick and she jumped right into action, sending out curse after curse as she ducked and kept low to the ground as she continued to cast spell after spell. She wondered when it would end, but things didn't look good for them.

Headmistress Lilac sent spell after spell out at the Ministry workers. It felt as if they had been at the fight for hours but it wasn't nearly that long. When they were down to only four Ministry workers she laughed as she sent one of them back wards into a tree.
"This is the Ministers way of telling me I'm not fit to run this school isn't it" she asked one of them before he tried to charge her . She spun around and sent a spell straight for him, he ducked and sent one right back at her. She just managed to duck before it came flying past her face she shook her head and stunned him.
"Very bad idea" she laughed walking right past him to help the others with the last couple workers.Even though there were only 3 left they were putting up a big fight she had to give them that.That still didn't make it that they would win , no this was her school and she'd be damned if they come here and try to take her out.
She turned around to check on the students but she could barely see them, she turned back around just in time to jump away from a spell that was aimed straight at her back.

Feeling that only three Ministry members weren't that much of a threat, Alessandro straightened up and strode towards the last of the members. He was brandishing his wand as if it was a sword and he was in a heroic battle against good and evil. Soon he was side-by-side with Sicoft, closing in on the few Ministry members that were still standing. He grinned and moved his wand in rapid motion. He almost laughed as his co-worker did, but he thought better of it. Three Ministry members could still be fairly dangerous. He put his guard up, ready for whatever they had.

"Normally I'd bow out, but I'd rather continue this." He was back-to-back with his partner, brandishing his wand feverously in each direction
"Take that ....” He swung his wand in a flowing motion and sent a ministry worker across the lawn, halted and flung robe first and was stuck upside down his robe fluttering around his waist

"I don't blame you." He said with a chuckle. "This is unusually fun." He whipped his wand and a Ministry member turned limp and was flung into the lake. "Hmm...I hope that's not too cold for his liking." There was only one left. He pocketed his wand and nodded his head towards Sicoft, obviously letting him have his last fun. He turned and went to Professor Lilac and the students, to see if he could help in any way.
"I trust everybody is unhurt?" He asked gently.

Headmistress Lilac cast her last spell at the last ministry worker who was still casting at her. It hit him square in the chest and sent him flying back wards on the ground. She walked over to him and stood over him " Now inform the Minister of Magic that this will happen every time he sends his stupid goons to my school, he wont win so tell him to give up" she said smiling down at him.
A second later the Ministry worker was gone and she just stood there looking down at the ground. She turned around to look at the mess that was around her. The darkness had faded and she could see everyone standing around and she let out the breath she hadn't know she was holding when she saw that everyone was OK. She walked over to the students and smiled at them.
"Now what went on earlier with you four is in the past, I'm letting it go but don't let it happen again. Please just get along with each other or at least be civil to one another . There is enough drama and war in the world without you all fighting . Now i want you all to get into the castle just in case more of them come back to finish me off" she laughed walking a few feet.
"You all did a great job today I'm very proud of you all. Oh and Professors" she said turning back around to look at them. " You all did a great job, thanks for the help" and with that she turned around and headed toward the castle limping slightly.

Rani, who had been running besides Conner, stopped near Cat and Micira when the Headmistress annouced her thanks. Rani jsut stopped in her tracks and watched the Headmistress walk by her. She turned to everyone that was outside and saw that no one was badly hurt. " You know, she's right! We should all just get along. I mean, what good is fighting going to do for us all? Look at what it did to us in the first place. Sure, maybe now I have friends, but they all want to get revenge for something. I just want to have someone to talk to who will listen to me, and I end up having to take sides with people I hardly know, against people I hardly know. What if Micira was just PMSing badly the other day? Trust me on this, I really don't think it was her fault she was so mean that day. We should all go somewhere and talk about..something. Just see why we have a problem with eachother in the first place! I am sick of the fighting!" With that said, Rani took one last look at everyone and walked toward the castle. She was on her way to her common room. Something was fishy about this book, and Rani was going to figure out what it was.

Micira got to her feet and scratched her head. "Er....thanks, but no thanks. I'm not much in the mood for sentimental moments with people who were tempted to curse my head off moments ago. Anyway, I have things to do...." She said, lying slightly. She didn't really have anything to do but get away from them. Cat was her only friend, and she wanted it to stay that way, no matter what personality she was to take on next. These people would turn on her the moment she turned mean again. She knew she would trust Cat even if she became the Micira she was before.
"Come on Cat, let's go." She said, starting to leave and montioning Cat towards her.

Cat smiled. "Ok I'm coming," she said as she followed Mic. She was still getting over the fact that the Ministry had decided to attack, but it helped when you had a good friend.

Beth watched them walk away and she took a deep breath.She didn't regret anything that had gone on between them and she would never apologize for what she said to them. She turned to Ace and smiled at him.
" You want to take a walk?" she asked taking a step."How about we go to the Pitch , i haven't been there since we've been back . Id like to see it again." she said smiling at him again as she started to walk with him by her side.
