The hooded figures along the perimeter continued their work until all the protective wards around the reserve were gone, finishing just before the woman (Georgia) appeared. Fortunately, the figures following the students were alerted to the screaming and descended on the professor and the woman, but not before the woman had time to send off a patronus. More people soon showed up, and spells went flying.

A hooded figure drew their wand, aiming a stunning spell at the old woman (Georgia). More figures joined in, casting stunning spells at the man yelling at the students (Kitty) and that insufferable department head (Aurora). Then the figures turned on the other less annoying workers. “Incarcerous!” one commanded, aiming the spell at the man jogging by (Jasper).

“Petrificus Totalus!” Another aimed at the man whistling at the Chinese Fireball (Andrei), while another hooded figure sent a Finger Removing Jinx at the man pointing his wand at the two dragons (Carson).

Then there was the foolish Gryffindor (Louise). A loud BANG sounded as a hooded figure sent a powerful knockback jinx at her. “Get back to your group, girl,” the figure snarled. Just be thankful they didn’t do worse… yet!

Amidst the chaos, one figure turned and shouted to the students, “STUDENTS, RELEASE THE DRAGONS! Destroy their environment. Use any means necessary.”
