Pyxis could feel herself becoming weary as she had since the attack. Her chest constantly ached whenever she thought too much and got worked up, so she had to focus on happy thoughts. Like the decorations around the room. They did look beautiful, but all she really wanted was for Parker to get here already. She was beginning to get tired of waiting, and her back started to ache. She shifted in her position against the wall and let her head fall back against it once more. Her eyes slid shut and she focused on her breathing, deep breath in, deep breath out. She relaxed each muscle individually, and when the music penetrated her thoughts she immediately felt better. A smile graced her lips as her eyes remained shut. She couldn't care less if anyone thought she looked weird.

Pyxis eyes opened once more and she looked around, her eyes resting on Anne again. Anne lead to thoughts of DJ, which lead to thoughts of Noah, which sent her spiralling down into depression once more. She sighed heavily and scratched at the back of her head. Oh, depression, how she loathed it. Then, Parker was there and he had that sympathetic look in his eye that would've annoyed her if it was anyone else. She felt bad for the lunch, for strangling him, for yelling at him, for breaking down his door, for everything. She smiled back with watery eyes. Pyxis shifted and moved so that her body was brushed against his and she rested her head on his shoulder. "Im okay." She said quietly in response.

Damien knew that he needed to leave the ball and he hoped that Anne would be very careful, he was glad that she wasn't coming with him because it would probably result in a fight.

Damien pulled Anne off into a corner and kissed her very deeply, "I am going to go, you please be very careful. I love you"

With that last kiss is was off and leaving the dance.

Anne sighed as he pulled her to the corner. "Be safe, and come home. I love you too." She said to him looking in his eyes. She kissed him back and watched him leave. She tried to watch him but he was soon out of her sight. The magic around the castle was too strong.

She sighed and went back to the dance going over to Pyx and Parker. She didn't want to talk to Tessa and she had heard about Noah and Pyxis's heart troubles. She hoped she would be ok. She shook her head that a father would fake his own death. She would never abandon her child. She couldn't.

"Hey guys." She said softly. She was only half paying attention in the present, the rest of her focus was in the future, both her own and her friends and husbands. She couldn't help but grab Pyx's hand. She needed the support of the other order member staying behind.The people out there weren't just her fellow order members, her family and friends were out there. If anything happened it would hit her hard. She knew she had to stay but, she wished she could go.

Rubi was not feeling good. Something was wrong, she just didn't know what. She wasn't sick or anything, she just felt bad. She sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. She then gave a light nod to herself. She could do this just fine. However, she needed to find her twin. She needed to be with Jamie for some reason. It felt very important. She then turned in front of the mirror, pretty pleased with her dress.

She walked out of the common room and up to the Great Hall. When she entered, she gasped in surprise. It was so beautiful and harmonious. Her open mouth turned to a huge grin and she looked at the people. She then noticed that there were a shortage on teachers. She could only see two. But she supposed it was going to be fine either way. She then spotted Jamie, who shocked her severly when she saw her talking to Carey.

Rubi bit her lip, and then shrugged. She could be nice to Carey. She should be nice to him. After all, they were housemates. She walked over to them, and put on her best smile. "Hello," she said to Carey, though a bit stiff.

She then looked at Jamie. "You look beautiful, sis," she said happily, much warmer than to Carey.

(OOC: Rubi's dress:
)

Meliae smiled at Carey she close the pendent as he came over to him.She smiled at him. He certainly look nice in his outfit. You look nice in your suit Carey. She did her hair did a couple of thing to make it look good and add couple to make it. She compliment him that is she look back at the boy.

She complement him the way she was taught to do by her biological mother taught her to do.She did not know a lot of people and most seemed off doing their own thing. She did not know much about how to talk about the other. She look around and then she spot the girl the sister and she did not need to tell them as she study the party she look back over at Carey with a light smiled of her own.

She listen quietly to music being play quietly and she was rather quiet looking back at the boy with a light smiled.

The night air crackled with the electricity of Dusk's excitement as her and her Dark Ones stared up at the luminous building. The object of peace, of Harry Potter, of goodness, the Hogwarts castle. She pictured it now, burning and in ruins, children dead everywhere, screaming, chaos, and she would finally have conquered something. Slowly, she could push her way up into power and with her loyal followers who would question her judgement on pure blood? None. None would dare to cross her, for they would be dead in a heart-beat.

Dusk lead her loyal followers up the path and through the secret passage into Hogwarts. Once they were inside, she continued walking with a sway to her hips until she reached the oak doors. Inside, there were the sounds of laughter and joy, music and dancing. She could feel their happiness, their joy and it made her feel sick. Her lip curled and with a flick of her hand the doors banged open and in she stepped, eyes alight with delight at the idea of murdering some students. One Hufflepuff girl who looked about 15 pointed a shaky wand at her, but within seconds the girl lay dead on the floor as Dusk shot the killing curse at her. "Let's have some fun!" She exclaimed, before her wand flicked upwards and the ceiling caved in on a group of teenage students. She faked sorrow.

Storm smirked as she followed Lady Dusk she was very glad they got to attack Hogwarts, finally. She continued to walk and she pictured Hogwarts burning to the ground she almost smiled at the thought but she shook her head and continued to follow her.

When Storm saw the oak doors she smirked than she heard music laughter and everything Storm hated Strom almost gagged but she was extremely happy when Dusk blew the doors off she saw Dusk killed a fifth year hufflepuff she smiled and heard her say 'Let's have some fun' Storm couldn't help but have an eerie evil laugh which was what a lot of people knew her, Storm. For, Storm saw a Ravenclaw sixth year come toward her and in a blink of an eye she was dead Storm saw her signature mark on the girls arm which made her smirk she knew a certain Hogwarts professor would recgonize it.

Anne head snapped up. She had seen what was about to happen within minutes. She knew that the best thing she could do was warn Pyxis the other order member here. She drew her wand and hissed to the adults by her.

"Attack right now get ready." She saw Dusk come in right after the words left her lips. Two students were dead. Anne growled and started hissing protective spells over all the students. She then turned her attention back to the people in the hall. She sent silent stunners at them. She knew she would have to do better though so she focused her energy and fire erupted around Storm. She may be able to get out of it, but it would buy them some time.

Anne smirked at the leader and taunted. "Leave the kids alone and play with the big girls." She said with her wand raised.

Meliae saw what was happening at the table she was seating and at the sight she grab and pull Carey under the table. She was scared yes of that witch it might be the fact that it remind her of step mother who hate magic. That what came to mind as she usually did she did not a lot of spell so she thought she could not face off her step mother. The next choice was hiding from them and she did it well she was not going to let Carey go even when she felt one teacher caste another spell she thought the next best thing was to run.

Storm couldn't help but laugh at the professor Storm sighed quietly and walked through the fire not even a burn on her she smiled and made a 'tsk' sound and she moved her pointer finger from side to side " Now now now, no need to fight someone to strong for you aren't you scared your unborn child will get hurt?" Storm mocked in a girly tone she smirked and shot a non verbal spell at her.

Storm glanced around and noticed none of the Order of the Phoenix was there she sighed " Aww where's Sammy I guess she's not here" Storm said acting like she was frightened and scared and very worried than she laughed evily " She'll be SO Upset once she finds out I've killed you and everyone here, than she'll think it's all her fault and will blame herself and Will fall into deep sorrow" Storm said with another evil laugh she pointed her wand at the professor and said another non verbal spell.

Kate walked in behind the two woman she didn't feel like killing older children she wanted to go for the little ones. She pulled out one of her family's cursed knife and sent it lying through Anne's shield right at a second years heart. She smiled as the girl fell to the floor.

"Hello Hogwarts." She said smirking at them. She smiled and with out hesitation sent a torture curse at a third year smiling at the shrieks they made. She saw that Anne was the main threat and smiled at her. "Leave the mudblood to me Ladies." She said smirking at her brothers killer.

"Well Anne, how nice to see you. How's my nephew." She started sending a few curses at Anne. "Now it's time to avenge my brother." She said sending a torture curse her way and smirking at the pregnant woman. she smiled as she saw a girl pull a boy under the table with her. She smiled and with a flick of her wand sent the table flying. "You can't hide from us little ones." Kate taunted.

Collin had gotten the memo to arrive at Hogwarts that they were going to start an attack. This was where the fun was at. Teaching was just something that he did to pass the time, his real passion was this, fighting and battling not that his brother would agree.

Looking around the room he just realized that the woman that Casey loved was here somewhere, he wondered if he could find her. If he could get his hands on her, maybe Casey would come to their side.

Walking into the hall Collin started firing hexes all around, he hit a couple of the children and just had to laugh, he had not had this much fun in a long time. He would have to look up his lover to celebrate after he was done here.

He was looking for anyone that might give him some answers, all he knew was Casey's girlfriend's name was Sam and thats all he knew.

Collin continued to fire curses as he went not bothering to see who he was hitting..

Anne glared as Kate came in her enemy. The woman that had taken her child. She was filled with pure rage and sent three powerful stunners at Dusk. She wanted the leader out. She wanted to take Kate face to face. She owed this woman a lot of payback. She had made a lot of her scars and she didn't forget that her favourite thing was to play, to torture. She growled and fell a bit when her curse hit her. She didn't scream. She wouldn't she waited till Kate lifted it and sent a few unknown spells at her. She pulled from out of her dress a knife. This knife had almost killed her and it had killed Hugo. She put a spell on it so it would always come back to her. She threw it hard at Collin.

"She's not here, she's at your school." She shouted to the twin of her friend's soon to be husband. Anne yelled to the students. "Out now. Be careful." Some were dead and she was not losing more. She looked at the other adults and prayed they help. She was a good fighter but no enough for all of them.

Beki was in the middle of a job when she got alerted to get over to Hogwarts. She she finished up what she was doing and headed over as soon as she could. She would think have the people she just killed that she would be done killing people but it didn't phase her at all. Walking into the school she smiled as she seen the bodies laying everywhere. This had been the perfect attack.

Walking into the great hall where she heard a lot of the fighting she saw a few people that she was sure she probably had a hit list for. She was trying to sneak up behind one of the teachers that were there. She noticed that she was busy yelling at the Raven guy, she knew he was because she had done business with him before.

"Well, well what do we have here." Beki had her wand out pointed at the pregnant woman.

Capper had stepped out of the hall for a few minutes and when he got back he had came into a mess. How could he have not heard everything, their were students everywhere.

Capper saw a couple of people firing shots so he started firing back. Capper happened to look up and see one of the woman trying to sneak up behind Anne. If anything happened to her or the Baby Damien would never forgive him.

"Anne, look out." Capper yelled and then fired a curse off to the side trying to distract the woman that was there.

Pyxis looked at Anne as she approached her and Parker and she smiled warmly at the pregnant woman. She felt a ripple of something moving through Hogwarts, and with Anne's warning Pyxis growled and stood in front of Parker. She could feel the presences moving towards the door, and then chaos struck. A group of students was crashed and Pyxis let out an enraged cry. "You bitch!" She yelled at Dusk, her wand raised. Her mind was racing as her chest ached painfully, but she ignored the pain.

She didn't have time.

"Anne! Get the children out of here!" She cried, not sure what to do. Part of her wanted to remain protectively in front of Parker, but she knew that was a stupid idea. Student's would die, and she would only be placing him in more danger. Besides, he was a grown man and could take care of himself. "Parker, help Anne get the students out," she ordered in that voice that people rarely questioned. It was cold, demanding and full of threat if they didn't do what she wanted. She kissed his cheek tenderly before delving into the midst of the fight and battling over to Anne. She hissed as one of the women pointed their wand at Anne and flicked a few wandless, stunning and disarming spells. She was fully prepared to step in front of Anne, as it was two lives that would be at risk if something was aimed at Anne and she valued those lives over her own.

Everything was peaceful. Everything, Nora came and talked to him, he ignored him. The all of the sudden, there was spells shut, the door was blasted open, he shook his head and sighed before speaking to himself."Fucking, Pathetically." He said, as he saw students being killed left and right. He just stood there and looked pretty as if he was not even acknowledge or noticed. Which was a good thing, he was like a hidden ghost. And besides even if he wanted to help he couldn't. The spell were fast because of how close they were to the children. Shaking his head, as he saw Anne drop to the ground as a spell hit her. There was Dusk, someone he did not know, two, females, no three counting the one that snack up, and a male. A Female, that walked pass a fire like some Goddess of complete invulnerably. Lovely, now we had godly humans. What a great sight, a simple Killing curse will do. He shook his head as he saw a man fire at the women who snack up on Anne. He sighed, wand slid from his wrist into his right hand, he raised it, and turned every single knife into a sword, and doubled it. As they flicked there way towards the evil ones, Not to strike them but to Hit the ground as an attempt. So the evil ones can acknowledge him."You people, make me want to fucking rape you, expect the guy. I'rd rather eat him. You come to our fucking school, and kill our fucking people. I should rape these fucking females, kill the guy, grill him, and fucking feed him to the fucking rabbits, after I eat his leg. And yes by rabbits I mean fucking rats." He said in a cold, disgusted manner, he seemed pissed off.

Anne rolled her eyes at Sergiy he was protecting her and she really didn't like it. She turned around and shot a slicing charm at Beki. She didn't need protection not from him. She moved to turn her attention back to Kate. She was done playing. She looked over at the students the evil woman had her eyes on and shook her head. She went around Pyxis and made a large cut across her cheek. She thought about marking her like she had been marked but wasn't going to she wasn't that cold.

"How does it feel Kate?" She asked her growling. After bringing the woman to the floor even for a minute. She stood in front of Tessa. She would give her life to protect them. She touched her locket and thought for a moment. Damien would know they were in trouble, but would he come back?

Anne looked at Sergiy really was everything about sex. She shook her head and kept her focus on the battle that had claimed the life of students. Anne whispered behind her, "Tessa, get out and take as many students as you can with you." She said hoping to protect them. She wasn't afraid to die. She closed her eyes and used her gift instead trusting it more. She sent non-verbal spells at where the people would be in the next second and waited. Anne saw Kate get back up and stared at her.

[[I'm only GM Kate who is my charrie. Just so you know]]

He smiled at Pyxis when she noticed him and leaned her head against his shoulder. He rested his head against hers lightly in a comforting way. He'd been worried about her since the indecent. But she was strong and she'd been holding up very well. "That's good." He replied softly. When Anne approached, he raised his head again and smiled at her, glad she was doign well too. "Hey, Anne."

The peace was then inturrupted by a loud BANG as the oak doors swung open with force. His head snapped up, his whole body tensing tight. He felt frozen as he watched a woman barge in. Everything happened so fast, two young girls were down, the roof was down. No. no, no, no, no, no. This was not happening. He felt like he couldn't catch his breath as he watched Anne spring into action. The kids. Oh, god the kids.... He was hardly able to make a step when a knife from another woman had flown by, killing two younger students. His ears were ringing, flashbacks of his years at Hogwarts. Plagued by this destruction. He remembered a girl crushed under rubble, the gore, the fear. How he ran.

Spells were flying like crazy now, everything erupted into chaos. His heart was racing, this was bad, all sorts of bad. Many of the professors were gone, who knows where. They were vulnerable. Anne was pregnant, Pyxis has just had a heart attack, there were soo many students, and he couldn't do a thing. But when he heard Pyxis bark out orders from in front of him, he shook his head, snapping back into it, the shouts and the cries echoing all around. He looked at her, snapping his wand out from his pocket. He just stood there when she kissed his cheek and ran off into the fight. He stepped forward, almost running after her. The kids, he needed to get them out and heal whoever was hurt as soon as he could.

His eyes looked around wildly. He saw many of the students were hiding under the tables. He took a deep breath, trying to concentrate and become more sensitive to the magics around him. He saw one of the largest groups and he bolted over to them, ducking and dodging out of the way of several spells. He felt a pair of cutting curses nick him on the cheek and his shoulder as he lunged down to the tables, a knocked over one providing enough of a block for now. They couldn't go right into the line of fire. There had to be some other way out. The entrance hall would be too dangerous, but maybe there was some sort of path through the trophy room. He was sure there was, he remembered it from the attacks in his schools days.

He spoke loudly to the group of students, most of which were in his class. "We're going to get all of you out of here, alright?! You need to listen to what I tell you. Do NOT try to do anything to help- do NOT run off away to the fighting. We are going to that door over there" He rose his arm to the corner of the Great Hall. "That's a passage to the trophy room. We need to stay low and be aware of everything. Dodge or block whatever you can-" He said, mostly to the few older students that were with the group. He looked around again, seeing a few other professors that he hoped could hold the enemies off while they escaped. "Once we're to a safe place, I'll heal you, so suck it up until we're out of danger- Got it?!" he said, sounding demanding at the end. He refused to let these children fall into harm. He wanted them out as soon as possible so they didn't have to see this. This was just...worse then nightmares.

"Follow me as I go-" he shouted as he stood up quickly, moving his head to the side as a spell flew past his head. He snapped his want up, shouting out cutting curses and hexes and stuns to hold off some of the imminent danger. He looked at the students and nodded as he started to move. He waved his wand back, trying to keep up a basic shielding charm to deflect some spells as they began to make their way to the escape.

Storm laughed evilly and she watched as a man was saying sexual things Storm looked at him with pure disgust " Now now now, no need for that kinda language" She said as she made the wall next to him explode she heard the pregnant professors remark about where Sam was and she smirked,

" Watch where you yell, cause Sammy'll be coming home... Dead" Storm yelled at the pregnant professor Storm loved killing people and she had been wanting to kill Sam for years Storm laughed evilly.

Storm pointed her wand at the man who was leaveing and she shot a non verbal spell at him she wanted all of the professors and students dead she laughed and shot a spell at the pregnant professor.

It would seem that he was being ignored again. Not that he minded. He could have easily got away simply. And easily by go outside, then again if both Nora and Alcy survived he would be fired afterwards. And everyone thought that he did not care about the school, staff, and students, because he did. He just didn't like admitting it because they were lesser then him in a sense of age, and wisdom. he outsmarted the entire school. He saw The Healer leave. He knew that he would save the children. Sighing as he looked at a female who had spoken.

He moved forwards, before the wall blasted open behind him. And a rock took him down towards the ground he went radically amount of pain on his lower section of his back, he flicked his wand, the stone turned into a rabbit, As a manifestation of Conjuration and Transfiguration. The Rabbit begun to run around the room like some crazy insane rabbit trying to not die. Sergiy slowly got up as few spells aimed at him. He put up more far advance Shielding spell, that caused the spells to be bounced into the air, and then turned to Fireworks,. Sergiy was a Master duelist, and a feared one back in his day.

He looked at the three that cast spells at him, he waved his wand. And caused them to be lifted into there air, there head begun, to shrink, and there lungs begun to close in the throat busted and the body enfolded, it would seem as if Sergiy enjoyed killing the three that just fired at him, and he sure did enjoy it. He felt, his back hurting again, he was in a huge amount of pain but he seemed perfectly fine, regarding facial congregation. He had a high acculturation for pain. He spoke." Was that really needed.. You little cyka." he said slowly. As he swore at her. In Russian. He looked at her and spoke." You caused my back to be injured, and hurt." he said calmly, keeping as much self control as his words can be melded with pain and Nagoya.

Storm laughed evilly " That's not the first time somone's called me a cyka" Storm said she knew Russian and could speak it she smirked at him and made the ground underneath him collapse.

Storm laughed and saw a third year girl come toward her Storm laughed as the girl stuttered Storm shot a killing curse at the girl and smirked than she looked toward the man and made a tsk noise and she moved her pointer finger from side to side " Now you need to watch what you call people, boy" Storm said dangerously she had daggers in her eye's.

Halcyon didn't know what happened before it had. Everything was in chaos. He blinked helplessly when people suddenly fell dying in front of him. The professors were shouting at the students to leave, but how? Then they decided that Anne should take the students, then Tessa, then Parker. It was complete chaos. Halcyon grit his teeth and dragged with him the people he managed, and ran over to Parker as he was telling them to follow him.

He hurried after Parker, and shouted at his classmates to follow, like Alexis and Carey, and Meliae and, just people he knew. He grabbed with him people he didn't know in the process of running out of the place.

Image of Humphrey's awesomely cool outfit.

[img][/img]

Humphrey walked into the Christmas Ball representing his house colors. He had on a blue shirt to show his Ravenclaw House pride. The rest of his outfit was black, black pants, suspenders, and a black bow tie with some white shells on it to match the buttons on the light blue shirt. Then, to complete the slightly quirky outfit, was a plain black Fedora. Now he was ready to dance, and show off his unique, quirky, and odd sense of style.

"Hello everybody. Ready to get this party started." he said as he entered the Great Hall. It was dressed with decorations for the Christmas Ball and looked beautiful.

Then he noticed that nobody was dancing, and there was an inordinate amount of loud bangs in the Great Hall. "What is going on?!?!" he yelled the question into the air. He barely had time to duck before a spell would have hit him. Humphrey dived towards a table, hiding under it. Reaching into his pockets, he located his wand and pulled it out.

Parker's eyes were darting around, wide and wild, trying to take in and be aware of everything. These kids wouldn't get hurt. Damn the fact he'd not had any proper dueling practice lately. The light defensive spell that covered around the group was to serve more as a way for him to sense the incoming spells with more ease. And thought there was no shouted incantation he just barely ducked out of the way of an oncoming spell and he yanked another students out of the way of another coming from some random direction. The spells were getting past too easily. Damn this- why now, why did this have to happen with so little defenses here, and why couldn't someone who was stronger and more in control take the children, he just didn't want them to be harmed.

As he was still leading the students closer to the entrance to the trophy room, an arm was outstretched around a few of them as a meager, instinctual way to try to block them. In his other hand was still gripping his wand tight, and trying to fire off however many defensive and stunning spells as need be. The majority of the kids that hadn't been separated off had made it with Parker to the corner of the room. He quickly pulled the heavy door open slightly and urged the students to hurry in and not look back. Seeing Mr. Dumbledore seem to be in control of getting a few of the other students to safety Parker looked at him as a few older students ran in or deflected some spells as they led other students inside "Mr. Dumbledore, look after your friends, don't separate and listen to what the older kids tell you. I'm going to try to get more kids in here, alright??" He said, nodding. He breathed out and looked out to the fighting again. He saw several groups of students still out there, some trying to hide, others looking prepared to fight. He couldn't stop the older kids, but be damned if he was going to let the defenselessness younger years be picked off. He nodded to the group as they made their ways in and ran off again.

As he was getting ready to lunge for cover from a cutting curse, a stunner came from the other direction and hit him full on. He stumbled over his own feet and went crashing tot the ground, hard. His shoulder slammed into the ground, emitting a loud crack as he wand skittered a few feet from him. He groaned, feeling his body tense up as the spell fully set in and he could no longer move.
