Wands and Warframes

Probing Attacks

"Suspend them, force them to attend without their armour, make Granger leave her butterflies behind?"

Minerva shakes her head as she glances around the staff meeting, "Severus, I know you have four of your 6th years in the hospital wing, but Fillius has one there too. It's also clear from their wands that they were attacking Miss Granger with lethal spells before Aurora and Filius arrived at the scene."

Severus shakes his head, "They say they were just defending themselves, and there's no evidence of any sort of lethal attacks on Miss Granger's armour either. The sort of spells that you say were used would have left a mark."

Filius snorts, "Defending themselves from an unconscious first year."

"Maiden has lost an eye, and Macks is currently under stasis while his family searches for a Healer that's willing and able to restore his ability to father children. Weakman and Harvey are both going to carry permanent scars, despite the fact that there's no dark magic in the wounds."

Filius nods, "Miss Roland has suffered similar wounds too. However, Miss Granger was stunned unconscious at some point before the attack on her person began. I was able to verify the magic once the two of us had dealt with the butterflies. A simple enervate after that returned her to consciousness, and she was able to return to her normal size. What I think happened is that these five students. Students that I'll note are all of them are pure bloods, and thus can't be legally forced to give memory or veritasium evidence until they have been charged with a crime. I think they stunned her from behind to prevent themselves from being identified in Miss Granger's memories, and then sought to take out some misplaced aggression."

As the conversation continues, Quirinus Quirrell frowns at the fact that Miss Granger came out of the entire ordeal unscathed.

A few weeks after that incident, Harry stumbles as he's forced out of his wisp in one of the little used corridors of the school.

Quickly, he disables the civilian lock on his amp and shielding while he looks around the corridor cautiously.

A moment later, a red spell splashes off his shields, and Harry instinctively returns fire down the corridor.

When there's no sounds of a body hitting the floor, or any sign of anyone else around, he focuses on the chat.

{Harry} @MissKitty I think someone just tried to attack me.

{MissKitty} Where are you?

{Harry} 4th floor by the Friday stair.

{MissKitty} I'll be right there.

{TheFairyQueen} I'm coming too.

{Lights} Miss Granger, you will do no such thing.

{TheFairyQueen} But I can help.

{Lights} If they knock you out again, Yana is likely to actually kill someone.

{Yana} 😛👻🐰🐰🦄

{Lights} Merlin damn it! Why did we have to give Yana chat again?

{Yana} Bunnies!

{MissKitty} So she can call us if she's in trouble again.

{Yana} 💢💥

{MissKitty} No Yana you can't just blow up the student's

{Yana} 👼🐱‍🏍🗡⚔

{TheFairyQueen} No Yana, we can't do that either.

{KamaChameleon} Can you guys take it to squad chat or something, as some of us are working here.
