Perhaps this battle was wearing more on her mentally than she originally thought, because Avalon could have sworn that she just saw Bernadette Grantham under that black cloak. But as soon as Avalon had registered who it was was, the girl disappeared. Or seemed to, at least. Had Avalon just been imagining the whole thing?

There wasn't time to dwell. Because the Inferi had made their way into the castle. Avalon had heard murmurs about them on the bridge while she was in the Great Hall. But seeing them in person, right in front of her, was a whole new horrific experience. "INCENDIO!" she yelled, flicking her wand at the group that was getting terrifyingly close to her. A side glance toward Aboli showed that she had the right idea, too. They needed more fire.

But then, there was a crazy, awful-looking woman joining them. And she was not playing around. She brought a unique fire of her own.

One of the mad woman's lightning bolts barely missed Avalon, striking instead against the metal on the door next to her. The resulting electric force was enough to knock the wind out of the Ravenclaw and throw her to the ground. And then there was a man getting killed. Killed! And then Noah was on the receiving end of a crucio curse.

Avalon was terrified. From the looks of it, there was no way they could overpower all these Inferi and Neo-Alliance members. They were severely outnumbered, and outpowered. Where were the professors? Did anyone else know they were in here, trying to fight them off? Would this be where it all ended? Merlin, she wanted to see her parents again. A part of her hoped they had come here to fight for her. To fight for Hogwarts. But she hadn't seen them yet. Did that mean they didn't come? Or did it mean something entirely worse?

Noah's pained gasping made her shove the avalanche of horrible thoughts out of her head. From her heap on the floor, Avalon managed to retrieve her wand (which had skidded a few inches away from her) and cast a Flipendo toward the Neo-Alliance follower responsible for the unforgivable curse against Noah. She pushed herself back onto her feet, shouting, "BOMBARDA!" toward the Inferi group as she did so. Anything to keep them back. Anything.
