Prior to the alarm, Zinnia had been laying on the bed scratching Wafer's stomach and just generally relaxing on her off day from training until Ramiel's lunch break. The twitch to the cat's whiskers and sudden shift in the cat's demeanor had been like a premonition as second after Wafer had rolled on to her stomach, eyes wide d tail twitching, the alarm had sound and chilled her to her core. Leaping off the bed and retrieving her wand, she threw open the door and descended the stairs with her wand gripped tightly in her hand...sometimes taking the two and three at a time until she came into view of the havoc being unleashed in the shop proper.
Blood pumping in her ears as those years of combat training at Durmstrang kicked into high gear, her eyes absorbed the scene but struggled to process it in its entirety.
She saw the Azkaban prisoners.
She saw the stranger in the shop dueling with them as he moved closer to the counter.
And then she saw Ramiel.
Her sturdy Ramiel...
....on the floor of his shop in splinters.
And then everything was automatic. Her cat-like reflexes urged her to jump over the railing rather than take the rest of the steps down, the bark to the stranger to keep them away from the counter, and the flourish of her wand towards the closest perpetrator with the intention to do a whole lot more than simply disarm. Her instincts were propelling her forward on the attack, but something stopped her and after shooting off a Full-Body Binding Curse towards another she was pivoting around and scrambling over to Ramiel's side.
"Ramiel? Ramiel?!" No stranger to blood and certainly not one to get squirmy with, she used her wand to sever a bit of her jumper and pressed the fabric over the injury and used her other hand to remove his broken glasses and dusted his cheeks free of any remnants of glass before casting a Shield Charm around the pair of them.
