Some of the Neo-Alliance Followers were so preoccupied with laughing nastily at one woman's (Shreya) trip, they took their eyes off the ball for a moment. One follower dropped suddenly to the floor, legs too wobbly to hold him up, while another went stiff as a board and toppled over. In response, three followers responded, shrieking as one, "Stupefy!"

The Order and their sympathisers may have been getting a couple of their own spells through, but the Neo-Alliance were no small force. As one of the old man (Paul)'s targets got himself jelly-brained, and immediately ensnared by the spell of the younger man (Oliver), another abruptly shoved them aside and onto their face. She brandished her wand at both attackers, sending forth whips of flame.

When a new player (Emma) entered the scene, some of the more eagle-eyed followers were ready for her. One easily blocked the incoming stunners with a large shield charm, while another shot back a non-verbal Incarcerous! and two more blew up the wall behind her, sending large chunks of stone and rubble tumbling down.

Effortlessly dodging the stunner sent by a newcomer (Nessa), one Neo-Alliance follower, quite literally, returned fire, "Incendio!" Mention of the traitorous brat - who needed to be hunted down, fast, if he wasn't already dead - by the other woman only incensed the group further, and a barrage of nasty curses was redoubled and sent in all directions again, including right back at the touching little reunion which had now increased by one more member (Leobald).

One wild-looking - and particularly... ripe - Neo-Alliance follower leapt forwards, cackling gleefully, and aimed a wand at woman at the Hogwarts professor (Cassie). "Avada Kedavra!"

For the Greater Good!
